Chapters 13-15

Time to learn how to throw knives! (I would probably accidentally kill someone!) It doesn't help that Eric is in a bad mood from losing capture the flag. Tris carefully watches Four as he throws the knives (watch and learn), she is the first to figure out that it takes patients (patients is a virtue). Al is the only one who hasn't hit the target, and Eric, being in a bad mood and everything, makes him stand in front of the target while Four throws knives at him. Tris tries to stop them, but she only gets herself into trouble, and she bravely takes Al's place in front of the target (There is no way I would let anyone throw knives at me!). Four hits her ear on the last throw, not much, but enough to make it bleed and to make her mad (I would be mad too if I got hit with a knife).

After everyone leaves, Tris starts yelling at Four for stabbing her.

"You know, I'm getting a little tired of waiting for you to catch on!"
"Catch on? Catch on to what? That you wanted to prove to Eric just how tough you are? That you're sadistic, just like he is?"
"I'm not sadistic." ... "If I wanted to hurt you, don't you think I would have already?"
What is he waiting for her to catch onto?

Tris is finally gaining muscle, her pants no longer fit over her leg. She wraps up in a towel and goes to the dorm where Peter, Molly, and Drew are. Peter starts taunting her and won't let her leave, and when Tris tries to run away, he pulls her towel off (Who does he think he is? He is such a jerk! What is wrong with him?) and they start laughing at her.

Tris is out for vengance at the fight that day. She is up against Molly. Molly always goes for the attack rather than defending herself, so Tris is able to find her flaws and she beats Molly. Tris beats her up and Four has to pull her away to make her stop (I think Tris went a little to far, she didn't have to almost kill Molly to get revenge).

"I pull my foot back again, but Four's hands clamp around my arms, and he pulls me away with irresistible force."

On Visiting Day, Tris has little hope that either of her parents will come to see her, but, to her surprise, when she searches the pit, she sees her mother (Yay! Her parents shouldn't hold a grudge against her, they should love her no matter what her choice is). Sadly, her father still feels betrayed and he didn't come to visit her, and neither of them can go to visit Caleb because Abnegation are not allowed on the Erudite premises (that is rediculous).

Somehow, her mother knows exactly where she is going and seems completely at ease in the Dauntless compound (there is something she isn't telling Tris). She also knows a lot about Dauntless initiation and the ranking and that Tris' aptitude test results came back inconclusive. She knows Tris is Divergent (How?). She also tells Tris to find Caleb and tell him to research the simulation serum (why?). Then everything clicks into place.

"She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows the initiation process. My mother was Dauntless."
