When I wake it’s to Eric yelling from his bedroom that I needed to get up. I sit up noticing it’s still dark and looking to the clock to see it’s only midnight. I stretch and lay back down when Eric’s bedroom door slams open and he comes storming out.
“You have to get up I forgot what tonight was”, he says while grabbing his shoes and sitting on the couch by my feet to put them on.
“What’s so important I can’t sleep”, I mumble and crack my opens open and I notice a cup of coffee on the table in front of me.
“It’s a Dauntless tradition during training so drink that coffee fast and let’s go”, he says excitedly.
I sit up downing the coffee as fast as I can when I notice how excited he is, “Can you give me a hint”, I ask.
“Nope”, he replies smiling at me while throwing on a jacket.
I groan as I take the last drink and get up and get ready. Before I’m even really awake we’re walking down the hall toward the initiate room. When we arrive he instructs me to go in first and lay down like I was asleep. I follow his instructions and lay down in my bed. After a few minutes he comes in and starts banging on a pipe against the wall and throws the lights on.
“Get up! Let’s go! You have 10 minutes”, he yells as everyone jerks up in bed.
Christian gives me an odd look when he notices I’m here, “When did you get here”?
“A few minutes ago”, I reply softly.
“Did he tell you what’s going on”, he asks sneering when he says “he”.
“No, just that it’s some Dauntless tradition”, I reply, “and could you at least be nice I decided I want to try it out”.
He sighs and finishes getting dressed, “I can’t promise anything he just seems so cold I don’t get it and I don’t trust that he won’t hurt you”.
“He’s different with me. Besides you don’t have to trust him you just have to trust me and be there if I’m wrong”, I tell him.
“Do you think you’re wrong”, he asks me.
“I’ll never tell him but I’m still scared that I may be wrong”, I confess.
“Wrong about what”, Cayla asks as she walks over with Alexander.
“I heard what might be going on tonight but I don’t want to say in case it’s wrong”, I tell her looking anywhere but at Alexander though I know he’s staring at me. I move closer to Christian and he puts his hand on my back as we all head out the door to find Amar waiting.
“Follow me”, is all he says and turns to leave.
We follow quietly and join the Dauntless born on the way. When we get outside we find the train waiting and climb in. I notice Eric is already in the train when we get there. He hands each of us a plastic gun. I give him a questioning look as he hands me a gun but he ignores the look and continues on. I go to stand at the back of the train with Christian. Cayla joins us shortly after followed by Alexander who stands entirely too close to me his side pressed into my own. I shift away from him but he moves with me. This isn’t good is all I think as I feel him move his hand to my back.
When I look back to Eric I can see the anger in his eyes as he glares at Alexander. When I try to move away again he moves his hand around to my other side and pulls me closer to him. I’m gonna have to just tell him.
Before I can open my mouth the train starts moving and Amar starts talking, “The game is easy. It’s kind of like capture the flag. We’re using paintball guns. If you’re shot in the arms or legs you can keep going. However, if you’re shot in the chest these jackets we’re going to give you will paralyze you and you’re out. Once the game has ended the jacket will release you”, he holds a jacket up and starts passing them out. Thankfully Alexander has to stop touching me to put it on and I quickly move away from him.
Once everyone has a jacket and has it on he continues, “You’ll find that you can’t take them off now”, there’s some shuffling as people try to see if he’s right and of course he is. “When we get back to Dauntless headquarters you’ll be able to remove them”.
Eric picks up this time, “Two teams, Amar and Four will captain one team together and I will captain the other. You choose first”, he says to Amar.
Amar smiles and looks around for a minute, “I’ll take Ana”.
I step forward and Amar hands me two bottles of red paintballs. I chance a glance at Eric and he’s clearly not happy. They go back and forth until everyone is on a team. Christian ended up on Eric’s team along with Cayla. I unfortunately ended up with Alexander on my team. We jump first and take off into an unknown area. Looking around when we stop I notice we’re in the old amusement park.
Amar pulls a glowing cloth out of his bag, “This is the flag before we start we need to decide where to hide it”.
Everyone starts talking at once. I move away from the noise looking at the surroundings. I look up at the Ferris wheel and jump slightly when someone comes up beside me. I calm when I realize it’s Four.
“What are you thinking”, he asks.
“A lot of people are afraid of heights and if we put the flag at the top only some will chance climbing it”, I reply.
“You gonna take it up there”, he asks.
I take a deep breath trying to keep the fear under control, “No, I hate heights”.
He looks surprised and I can see his eyes soften just a bit, “Me too”, he whispers as he turns back to the others and gives them my idea.
Once the flag is in place the Dauntless born who had taken it up lets us know he had seen where the other group was. Half of the group goes to where the other group was and the rest stay behind. Alexander and I follow Four to the other team’s camp with about six others.
Alexander grabs my arm and pushes me against a tree putting a hand on my mouth so I don’t make any noise. When the rest of the team is gone he moves his hand away from my mouth and to my horror replaces it with his mouth. I close my mouth quickly and try to push him off me.
“Come on, we’ll never get any time alone when we get back to headquarters”, he says.
“I don’t like you like that Alexander”, I tell him bluntly.
“Of course you do”, he replies and kisses me again.
He grabs my hair as I try to move my face from his holding my head in place. I keep my lips closed even as he tries to push his tongue into my mouth. I gasp when he pinches the inside of my arm hard. He smiles as he pushes his tongue in and I quickly wipe the smile away when I bite down hard. He pulls back from me and I see him wipe some blood from his lip and before I can move he punches me in the face.
I drop partly from surprise and partly from the force of the hit. He moves over to me and suddenly he’s covering my body with his own. He uses one hand to cover my mouth and I bite on it so he quickly slaps me and I can taste the blood when my lip splits. When I open it to yell he puts his other hand around my neck and covers my mouth again with the other. I lay still breathing hard looking up at him scared.
He smirks, “Are you gonna behave now”?
I close my eyes and nod as much as I can. He moves his hand from my neck but keeps my mouth covered. I lay still trying to think of a way out of this mess. I jerk when I feel his hand at the bottom of my shirt and pushing under it and the jacket. My eyes widen, of course. I move my hand slowly hoping he won’t notice as he pushes his hand further up my shirt. I take a deep breath when my hand encounters the cold plastic on my side.
I move it slowly until I think I have good aim and close my eyes as I pull the trigger. When I open my eyes he’s glaring at me. I’m worried I missed when I can still feel him breathing and his eyes are still moving. His hand however has stopped moving under my shirt entirely too close to my chest. I push and he falls to the side. I jump when I hear a shout and feet running in my direction. I hide behind a tree and follow when I see it’s Four and the rest of my group with the other team’s flag.
When we get to the train I quickly sit in the back pulling my knees to my chest and laying my head on my arms. I can still feel his hands on my body and I jump when I feel a hand on my shoulder looking up I see it’s Christian.
“Shit”, he kneels down in front of me a hand on both sides of my face getting a better look at it. He brushes some leaves from my hair, “What happened Ana”?
I just shake my head as I fight the tears filling my eyes. I grab Christian’s arms tightly when Alexander climbs on the train and looks at me. I can see the pure rage on his face but he stays away for now. I put my head back on my knees and Christian moves to my side wrapping his arm around me.
When we get back to Dauntless I avoid Eric though I can see when he stops himself from coming to me. Four however comes over quickly when he sees me. He doesn’t ask us any questions just tells us to follow him as Christian helps me off the train. He leads us to the medical room and immediately a woman comes over and starts wiping my face clean. There’s really nothing to be done with the swollen lip but I end up with stitches above my left eyebrow. I guess it happened when he punched me and I fell.
“What happened”, Four asks when the woman moves away. I just shake my head so he continues, “I noticed you and Alexander weren’t with us when we got to the others but there was no time to go back. Did he do it”? He sighs when I look away, “I do pay attention to what’s going on and he’s been watching you a lot. At first I thought you two were dating but with how much time you spend with Eric I think it was all one sided”, my eyes widen and I look back at him.
“How do you know about Eric”, I ask.
He smiles, “Well, mostly when I saw you two coming out his room this morning”.
I blush, “Is it gonna get him trouble, him being with me”, I ask.
“No, mostly since he doesn’t have anything to do with training scores yet. If you had come next year it would have been a problem”, he tells me. “So I was right about Alexander”?
Christian punches the wall, “He has had a crush on her for years but she tried to just stay away from him”.
“It was my fault I should’ve been paying more attention when we were walking through the woods. I didn’t even think to use the gun until he had me on the ground and his hand was up my shirt. I should’ve fought harder”, I say as my eyes drift down to the floor.
“This is not your fault”, Christian says moving so he’s looking in my eyes. I watch as the anger fills his eyes, “Alexander will get what he deserves for this”.
Four smiles, “I think Eric will want a piece of him first. You two shouldn’t take any risks,” he drops his voice to a whisper, “Alexander is at the bottom of the rankings and with less than a week left I doubt he’ll be here much longer. Now, training is done for the day so you should go get some breakfast”.
Christian helps me up and I limp slightly, I hadn’t realized I had hurt it. The woman comes over and rubs some cream into it and wraps it before she lets us leave.
Kristopher and Maloki are by our side as soon as they see us enter the cafeteria. Once they help me sit they start with the questions but I just shake my head and lay it on the table. I hear the questions change direction to Christian and he answers what he knows. I sit up when they get quiet and look around. I don’t see Eric or Alexander.
“He’s dead as soon as I find him”, I hear Kristopher say.
“Don’t risk it Four told us he’s pretty much out after this week. We just won’t leave her alone until then”, I hear Christian tell them.
I stand up and immediately they follow, “I’m just going to see if Eric is in his room”.
“I thought you were staying away from him until you decided what you wanted”, Maloki said.
I gave him an angry look, “I decided yesterday to give it a try”. I glared at him daring him to say anything.
Kristopher rolled his eyes, “I’ll walk with you. You shouldn’t be alone since we don’t know where Alexander is”.
I nod and we head out and head to Eric’s room. When we arrive there’s no answer when I knock. I slide down the wall and stretch my ankle out to wait, “Where do you think he is”?
“Probably with the other leaders in a meeting unless he’s asleep and didn’t hear you knocking”, Kristopher says from the wall across from me. “Are you alright”, he asks.
“My head is hurting quite a bit but other than that I’m okay”, I say.
He moves and sits beside me, “Alexander will get what he deserves”.
“I should have done something more. I just stood there instead of struggling when he kissed me. I should have fought harder”, I feel the tears coming again and I shake my head to clear them. “I didn’t even think of the paintball gun until his hand was already half way up my shirt and I had just laid there letting him touch me”.
He released a breath, “I’m glad he didn’t get any farther. You did well though; you got away”.
We sit in silence and I tense as we hear someone coming up the stairs. Kristopher stands up and helps me up. I relax when I see Eric. He stops when he sees me and glares at Kristopher. He walks to us and immediately wraps an arm around me and Kristopher lets go. He moves us to his door quickly unlocking the door and leading me over the couch before closing the door.
He kneels beside the couch and runs his hand along my face, “What happened”, he asks as he runs his thumb over the cut on my lip.
He stays kneeling in front of me his hands on my face while I tell him everything. I watch as his eyes get gradually darker as I talk. When I finish he stays where he is for a moment when suddenly he stands and throws the coffee cup that was still on the table and it shatters when it connects with the wall. He quickly heads to the door.
“Where are you going”, I ask.
“To find him he won’t be recognizable when I’m done” he starts to open the door when I stand.
“Please don’t leave me alone”, I whisper as the tears I had been fighting are suddenly running down my face.
When he turns to look at me he quickly closes the door and walks to me wrapping me in his arms. I finally break down against his strong chest while he holds me. I don’t notice we’re moving until he pulls me down into his lap. I’m not sure how long we sit there when I finally stop crying. He just held me through it running his fingers through my hair occasionally pulling leaves or twigs out of it.
“Feeling better”, he asks softly.
I pull back from his chest to look at him, “Thank you”; I lean in and press a light kiss to his jaw. He smiles and pulls me back against his chest tucking my head under his chin.
We continue to sit for a while when I suddenly feel like I need a shower. I can still feel his hand on my stomach and I just want it go away. I pull away and try to stand when Eric’s arms tighten around me.
“Where are you going”, he asks.
“Back to the initiates room cause I really need a shower”, I tell him and he lets me go. I miss his warmth immediately but stand to walk to the door.
He grabs my hand before I get more than two steps away, “You can shower here”.
I smile and when I agree he leads me into his room for the first time and to one of the two other doors in the room. I’m surprised when I walk into a large bathroom with a large tub in one corner, a large shower in the other, and a sink and toilet. It’s done in a warm cream color and is very clean.
“Would you rather a shower or a bath”, he asks.
“A bath would be nice”, I tell him. He shows me how to work the taps and sets a towel on the counter for me.
“Eric”, I say as he goes to leave the room, “I don’t have any clothes”.
“Oh yeah, I’ll go and grab you some from the initiates room while you’re in here”, he says.
“Thank you”, I smile at him.
Once he leaves I quickly remove my clothes while the tub fills with hot water. When it’s full I turn the taps off and slowly lower myself into the water. I just relax for a while letting my body soak in the heat. I didn’t realize how long I had been in the tub when I hear Eric call through the door that my clothes are on the bed. I quickly grab some soap and start washing up spending extra time scrubbing my stomach where Alexander had touched me. When I finish and get out I dry quickly and wrap the towel around myself.
When I go into his room the door leading out is closed. I see he grabbed all my clothes so I pull out a pair of jeans and a long sleeve black shirt along with a black bra and underwear. Once I’m dressed I take a minute to look around his room for the first time. One wall is completely covered by a bookshelf filled with books. There’s some random paintings on the wall and a glass door that looks like it leads out to a balcony. He has a large dresser on one wall opposite of his very large bed. I can’t help but sit on the bed and find it’s so soft.
I finally walk out his room to find Eric at the stove cooking. When I get closer I see it’s some soup but he also has some rolls sitting to the side. He turns when I get closer.
“Are you hungry”, he asks.
“Yeah, I didn’t really eat at breakfast”, he turns back to the stove and starts putting some soup into two bowls. I move closer to him and hands me a bowl of what looks like beef stew. I go to the dining table and sit with the stew. Eric joins me a minute later with his own bowl, two spoons, and a plate with a couple buttered rolls.
I take a bite of the stew and am surprised at how good it tastes, “This is delicious”. I quickly finish the bowl and a roll. When he finishes I get up and go to grab the dishes.
“What are you doing” he asks trying to grab the dishes from me.
“You cooked so I’ll clean up”, I tell him keeping ahold of the dishes.
“You don’t have to I can get it”, he says not letting go either. “You’ve been through enough today”.
I roll my eyes at him, “I’m fine”. I finally let go and he smirks. I follow him into the kitchen and stand next to him at the sink.
“You can go sit down”, he says as he fills the sink.
“If you won’t let me do them myself I’m going to help”, I tell him and stare at him daring him to not let me.
He sighs before he starts washing the dishes and I rinse. We finish the dishes quickly him washing and I rinse them. We go sit on the couch when we finish cleaning up. I curl up pressed against his side with his arm wrapped around me.
“So, why did you grab all of my clothes”, I ask.
“I wasn’t sure what you would want to wear”, he says. I raise an eyebrow at him and he sighs, “I don’t think you should stay in that room with him”.
“Someone is bound to notice that I’m never there and that my clothes are gone”, I say.
“At least stay here for a few days. Alexander’s at the bottom of the ranking right now and the first stage is done this week and he’ll be gone”.
“Alright”, I give in.
I smile at him and lean up pressing my lips against his softly trying to ignore the slight twinge of pain form the cut. His lips move against my own pressing a little harder and I pull back sharply when he presses a little too hard.
“Sorry, I guess no kissing until that heals”, he says and laughs when I pout at him. “Well, at least not on the lips”, he says as he leans in and presses a soft kiss on my neck. I sigh and we spend the rest of the day cuddled together on the couch exchanging soft kisses and talking.
