This is war

Jess’s POV I woke up with an atrocity of a headache. Ten minutes. I managed to be married ten minute’s before shit went to hell. I raised my hand to my face only to be knocked in the head by a heavy metal bracelet. “OW!! Really!!,” one on each damn wrist.

“Lovely aren’t they? ” was that Four? “Four? Hell she got you too? I know Eric is livid,” I sat up to look at one of my few friends. He was on a bed across from mine with the same damn chains on his wrist. The room had no windows, a toilet with a curtain to pull around, a sink, a shower head two handles a drain and another curtain.

“Lovely accommodations from your mother, ” I groaned. I was still in my damn gown from my wedding.

“Did you expect a suite at Erudite? For your honeymoon maybe,” he scoffed.

“Would’ve been nice. Eric here too. Would have been better, ” I sighed.

Just than my princess decided to kick me. Eight months pregnant and being held against my will. I am so over it. I’m also starving. I really hate this bitch.

“EVELYN!!! I am pregnant and hungry! ,” I shout to the air

“You sure you’re alright Jess?” Four asked worry thick in his voice.

“If your bitch for a mother feeds us soon I will be.” I really just want Eric. Like that is going to happen.

The door swings open and Evelyn and Edward walk in. What a way to meet the farher in law I want nothing to do with. No wonder my husband can’t find him. He’s hiding with this bitch where ever we are.

“I wish my son and niece were more happy to see me, ” she feigns hurt.

“Niece?” Four and I look confused at one another. “My mother was Dauntless born you crazy bitch,” I spat. “Really? Are you sure about that. Elizabeth Baker was Elizabeth Johnson before she was married. Erudite.”

Shit was she right? Really Jeremiah and I didn’t know much about our mothers past. She was murdered when we were fourteen and father had been gone long before that.

“Your father was Dauntless born. Worthless. But you already knew that,” she frowned. “Well Stiff Eric is going to love we’re family, ” I laughed humorlessly.

“Eric will get nothing, ” a dark voice retorted. My so called father in law.

“Says another worthless father,” I spewed angrily.

“You little bitch, ” he went to strike me but Evelyn grabbed his hand

“That is your granddaughter and our key she is carrying, ” she reminded him.

“Key? What the fuck are you talking about? My daughter isn’t anybody’s damn key!” these people are fucking crazy. “All in good time Jessica. Tobias do keep an eye on your cousin. I will send food trays within the hour.”

With that the duo who are now on my “people my husband is allowed to murder list” left the room. I looked at Four and shrugged.

“Crazy,” was all I could manage. Where are we, all I could hope was Eric would find us

“Jess, your eyes are uh, they are glowing yellow. What the hell is wrong with you, ” Four asked beyond worried.

“Shit I forget!! Shut up while I try to hear Eric!” I whisper shouted. “What? Have you lost your damn mind?” he looked at me like I WAS CRAZY. Well maybe I am, blame Jeanine. “Shut up!! I’ll explain later!”

Eric’s POV “I want six patrols out. Lissette!!”

“Yes demon master?” she is so lucky she is my wife’s bestfriend. “Fence bitch. Fence,” I growled. “Liar. I have myself, your brother, her brother, you, and Max. I need one more commander.” she reported.

“Max? He volunteered?” that was unheard of. “She is pretty much his daughter you idiot. What did you expect? ” damn she made me miss my wife. “Sarcastic bitch. Pull Miller from the fence. They have been gone over twenty-four hours. Time is wasting!” now I am getting annoyed.

“Eric?” Lissette sounded concerned.

“For fucksakes WHAT Lissette?” I need to find my wife. “Why the fuck are your eyes glowing yellow dick head?” “What? Shit! Jess!”

When love isn't enough:Not an initiate

Eric’s POV The alarm was blaring as I threw my arm over my eyes. I realized I was alone in bed. Where the hell was Aleisia? Last night had been an intense blur. I purposed didn’t I? We had a fight because of Gage. Shit. There was a note on the table beside the bed. * Eric- Had a few appointments. Probably won’t see you before finals. Good luck. I’ll meet you in the mess at six for final rank reveal. Love A- *

I smiled to myself and folded the letter up to place in my wallet. Then I remembered the prepaid points card. I found it my father’s things he left for me. With some time to kill I went to find out the points value of the card.

“Name?” the woman behind the counter asked. “Eric Coulter,” I rolled my eyes. “I.D..” I handed it to her. “Answer the two security questions please.” I was a little nervous. What questions could my father ask I would know the answers too? Luckily they where easy. What is Eric’s birthday. What is Eric’s sisters name.

“Thank you Mr.Coulter. These points where left as an inheritance. You have ten-thousand points.” my jaw dropped.

“You mean ten-hundred right?” I tried to correct. “I may not be Erudite, but I know the difference. I said ten-thousand. You have five hundred personal points on your card. Shall I combined them?” “Yes please,” was all I could manage.

Still stunned by the amount of points left to me I headed to a small jewelry shop I had seen to put an order in for a ring. When I was done I headed for the fear landscape room.

“Ready for this?” Amar asked? “Nope. Bring it on,” I smirked. “That a boy. Eric be brave,” was the last thing I heard before the scenery changed. I made it threw my first few fears easily. The last two damn near killed me. I sat up gasping for breath.

“Well done initiate, ” Max said with a clap on my back. “After that I’m no initiate anymore, ” I replied in a cold tone. “No, no you’re not. Good luck son. See you again soon.”

I drifted to the tattoo parlor with my drawing in my hand. I had an hour before I was meeting Aleisia in the pit. Tori frowned when I walked in. “Eric,” she nodded her head. “Tori. I’d like this. On my chest here, ” I pointed just above where my heart is. “Did you draw this? ” she sounded impressed. “I did,” I smirked. “Before I do this I have one question. Are you really serious about her? She doesn’t deserve to be hurt.” I gritted my teeth before answering. “ I will only humor you because I know you care about her like your niece. Yes I am fucking serious about her. Crazy about her truthfully.” Tish walked in literally a minute later. She must have been watching from the control room. “Tori stop giving my future son-inlaw shit. Let me see his choice in art work.”

I thought Tori’s jaw was going to hit the ground. I just gave her a fuck you grin.

“This is beautiful Eric. Little Bit will love it. Ease up Tor. He’s a good kid when you get to know him. See you later. Duty calls,” Tish winked and left.

After an unenthusiastic apology I got my ink and left. Nobody had to like me, but they would all be respecting me sooner than they think. It was time to find my girl and wait for the rankings.

For awhile now

I’ve known Eric for what seems like forever now. He was my trainer as I was the year after him. That period of time was rough. Eric and training equals straight up dick.

Things had shifted a little when he saved me from getting jumped while out dancing one night at the pit. Which brings us here. Initiation is in two weeks, so as a favor Eric recruited me to help him sort and organize paperwork.

We’ve been in here for two hours and we had been joking with playful banter. He was a whole different person when the eyes of a whole faction weren’t on him. When he asked me the next question, that’s when things get interesting.

“So Ari, why are you still single after being here for three years?” this caught me off guard. “Why are you after four years?” was my quick knee jerk answer. “That’s easy, I’m an asshole. But I asked you first,” he looked impassive, almost bored. “I don’t know. Guess I haven’t caught anyone’s attention yet.” sadly this was a truthful answer. “You sure about that? ” he had a different kind of glint in his eyes suddenly. “What? Are you saying you secretly want to do me Eric, ” I laughed.

Then I noticed the instant change in the distance between us and his stance. He used his body to back me up into the wall with a hand on my hip. My breathing sped up rather quickly.

“You caught me. Something like that. He smiled just before he pressed his lips to mine. Things went from heated to hot damn rather quickly. Before I could even think I was on the chase lonunge with Eric pressing down on me. It was a heated frenzy of lips tongue and teeth. His hands slowly creeping under my shirt skimming my rib cage. I frantically grabbed at the hem of his shirt to yank it over his head.

"Damn Ari. Just tell me what you want and need.” he purred in my ear nipping at it with his teeth. I have no idea what came over me to make me so bold to blurt out “you inside of me,” in a breathy pant.

He let out a sensual growl before he slowly proceeded to undress me. All the while placing kisses and licking and nipping at all the skin he was exposing. When I was just down to my panties I moved to start to rid him of his clothes. But he slowly grabbed my hand and pushed it back. “Ah ah ah. I take care of you first. Then we’ll work on me,” he smirked in my neck as he sucked and kissed at my pulse point.

So agonizingly slow he let his lips traveled down my neck and collar bone. As he started to massage and suck at my breast my body tensed. My sensories where on over load. “Ari relax. Just enjoy it. Your long over due for a release.” his voice was soft and velvety. He was being so gentle and attentive to my needs. Nobody would ever believe stiff, militant, nonsense Eric could be like this. I let out a loud squeal when his tongue came in contact with my clit. It was unexpected but damn it felt so good. Eric let out a little murmur and the vibration had me teetering on the edge. “Enjoying yourself? You like this?” he gazed up at me with hooded eyes. “Mmmm yeah,” was all I could breathly manage.

When he inserted two fingers while nipping and sucking my toes curled and I was cumming hard. As I rode out the overwhelming bliss Eric stood up to finishing undressing while looking at me with a pleased look on his face. He slowly lowered himself between my legs while never taking his hungry eyes off mine.

“Are you ready for this,” he whispered as he aligned himself with my entrance. “Fuck yes,” was all I managed as he thrusted in while kissing me. He stilled and let me adjust to the feel of him. He sure wasn’t lacking in that department. I had let out a large gasp as pain over road pleasure at first.

“Shh I’ll take it slow. Are you ready?” I bit my lip and nodded yes. Slowly he slid in and almost out before plunging back in. After a rhythm was going the pleasure kicked in. I had never felt so good in my life.

“Damn Ari you feel so fucking good. I’ve been waiting so long for this.” that sent my toes curling over the edge. Eric the damn greek God had been waiting to fuck me? Damn it just made me feel so sexy. I let out a loud deep moan as my walls clenched hard around him. Three more deep hard thrust and Eric followed. We laid sweaty tangled limbs catching our breath. Eric had his head in the crook of my neck placing little kisses.

“Eric?” I had to know. “Hmm?” He hummed into my neck. “You said you where waiting for this. How long has that been? ” I know my voice came out soft and timmed.

“Awhile. I was trying to wait for you to come to me but you didn’t get the hint apparently, ” he teased with a smile.

“Since when?!,” I asked astonished. “Since initiation when you got pissed and told me to go fuck myself. It was a turn on and intriguing that an Amity transfer had enough guts to challenge me.” he had a huge genuine smile on his face. I was shocked to say the least. “ I thought you hated me. You where so damn mean.” “ I saw potential but you needed that extra little push to light that fire in you. Plus I was fighting how bad I wanted you.” “Well you have me now.” I smirked. “Indeed I do. Took you long enough.”

Paring : Eric x Reader

Warning : violence, teasing, swear

Words : 1,445

I decided to stop writting Eric Teasing You after this part, but I take request :) I just prefer to wrote oneshot, but I’m really happy that you like it! Thanks to everyone who wrote to me, you guys are really sweet and kind ♥ That’s why I like to wrote imagines :) I hope you’ll like it and request are always open!

‘’Follow me’’ Eric commended while grabbing me hand and taking me away from the gathering of dauntless who were looking greedily at Peter (who was still unconscious in Four’s arms who was carrying him inside the Pit), Eric and me.

I could heard them gossiping about the attack (’’I heard that Peter wanted to kill her!’’ ‘’No, he wanted to butterknifed her, like he did to the other guy…Eddy? Edard? Edward?’’) even though no one saw what happened, exept Eric, but did he really saw all of the attack? I doubt it.

‘’Where are we going?’’ I asked, feeling the urge to run away from all thoses eyes watching me. How could they be so curious? Haven’t they seen guerilla worse then that before? After glancing towards the dauntless, I realized that the older ones weren’t impressed and those who were looking at me were practically all initiates (some of the younger dautnless were staring at you).

‘’To the infirmary’’

My eyebrows arched and my feet stopped, but not for long - Eric was walking so fast that my immobility couldn’t interrupt his steps, so I was drawn by him.

‘’I didn’t even know you had an infirmary’’ I mumbled to myself, then, more louder, I asked Eric : ‘’Why do you bring me there? I’m not injured’’

He glanced at you, then sighed.

‘’You ask too much questions’’

I rolled your eyes. I had forgotten how much he could be maddening.

‘’I just don’t know wet if I can trust you’’ I explained.

It was is turn to stopped without any warning. I rush into him but he did not seem to have noticed it. Eric just kept looking at me with an not-understanding/who-could-you-not-trust-me look.

‘’You think you can’t trust me?’’ By the tone of his voice, he was pretty insulted.

I stepped back since my nose was practically touching his muscular chest and it felt kind of wierd.

‘’It’s not that I can’t -’’ I tried to explained that I wasn’t confortable going to the infirmary with him (especially him since I know he has a thing for me) when a guy was on top of me about minutes ago. I mean, yes I really liked the kiss…

‘’I just saved your pretty little butt, just so you know, so I think you can trust me…’’ His eyes were darker than usual and the hand that Eric was holding began to numb.

‘’Eric, my hand…’’ I whispered through me teeth while attempting to free my hand.

‘’and you should thank me for saving you’’ He groaned.

‘’Maybe you saved me, but if you continue to squeezed me hand like that, you’ll give me a good reason to go to the infirmary!’’ I said. He freed me hand as soon as he realised it. Eric’s eyes were wide open and he looked worried.

‘’Did I hurt you? I didn’t mean it…’’ He took my hand inside his and softly pressed his thumb on the top of it.

‘’I’m okay’’ I smiled at his beautiful worried look.

I looked around us, trying to figure in which corridors we were, but the corridor was dark and no door was in sight.

‘’I’ve never been here’’ I said while looking at the end of the corridor - even though I didn’t saw the end of it. ‘’Where are we?’’

‘’In a corridor’’ He stared at me like if he wanted to add ‘’Where do you think we are, in the Amity’s garden?’’

‘’I know that’’ I rolled my eyes. ‘’I just never been in this corridor. Were is the infirmary?’’

‘’Up the stairs’’ He arched an eyebrow and moved aside, revealing the stairs behind him digged inside the rock.

‘’Ooh’’ was all I could prononced.

‘’Feeling better?’’ Eric asked when I was lying down in a bed of the infirmary.

‘’No, because I wasn’t feeling bad’’ I groaned. He looked amused with his little smirk in the corner of his lips.

‘’Oh, poor little thing! Life isn’t fair with you, uh?’’ Both of us turned to face the person who talked. My heartbeat speed up, even though I tried to control it.

‘’What are you doing here?’’ I asked with the deepest voice I ever had.

‘’Guess what? I was having a great time with a girl but some jealous douchbag came up and beat the shit out of me’’ Peter scoffed, staring at me, waiting to see my reaction.

‘’Yeah, a great time!’’ I sarcastically said. ‘’We should do that more often’’

‘’That’s what I thought!’’ He smiled at me, but his smile was hidding something more dark.

I glanced at him. He had a black eye and his bottom lip was cut and a drop of scarlet blood was slidding down his chin. A dark bruise disfigured his face, which makes me happy.

‘’Maybe you’re in the infirmary, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t hit you again’’ Eric’s low voice threatened Peter. I could swear that I saw him shivered. The initiate glanced at Eric with dead in his eyes but didn’t dare to open his mouth.

‘’Why did you bring me here?’’ I whispered with concerned at the dauntless leader so only him could heard.

‘’I’m started to think that it was a bad idea’’ He mumbled to himself, then looked at me and said : ‘’You need to sleep in a place where no one will disturbed you’’

‘’Well, no one would have disturbed me in your bed…’’ I suggested.

Eric didn’t seem to understand what I meant. He raised an eyebrow and his smirk was now bigger.

‘’Geez, seriously? I didn’t wanted to know about your sexual life!’’ Peter groaned and rolled his eyes.

‘’Your such a pervert! I meant sleeping in his bed, alone!’’ I shouted. No but seriously, would I make love to Eric after some creep mad guy tried to kiss and kill me? No.

‘’Yeah right. (Peter rolled his eyes, then sneered) You’re just a teased, (Y/N). I know that you wanted that kiss, maybe even more than me! Because you’re just a slu-’’

All around me was dark and I only could see Peter’s freaking face mocking me. When I saw him first in the infirmary, I thought he was in bad shape, but then, I realised that this fucking jerk should be allowed to talk for a long time. So,  I didn’t let him finished his sentence and jumped out of the bed, ran towards him and managed to hit his pretty little face as hard as I can. The anger kept boiled inside me. It seems like after each hit, my anger was even more murderer. Peter grabbed both of my wrists before I could disfigured him again. His gripped was so tight that I could feel bruises forming on my skin.

‘’What’s going on (Y/N)? (Peter laughed) You didn’t want me to say the truth in front of your boyfriend? Because you really are just a fucking slu-’’

Before he could say the word, I hit him with my head so hard that he passed out. Peter’s hands felt down on my thighs, but I didn’t even realised it. I was breathless, sweaty and confused. Eric softly wrapped his arms around my waist and dragged me to my temporary bed. My head fall down on my pillow, realising that I was exausted.

‘’Well, my brother wouldn’t be able to beat you’’

I laughed, remembering the first time I fought against Peter and Eric yelling at me.

‘’That’s a great compliment’’ I smiled, my gaze meeting his blue eyes.

He ran his fingers through my hair, sending shivers down my spine. Then, Eric lifted my chin with his forefinger and his thumb while bitting his bottom lip.

‘’I’m sorry for being a jerk’’ He appologised, his eyes looking into mine. I could tell that he was trying not to look at my lips, which made me smile.

‘’I accept your apology’’ I wrapped my arms around his neck, then ran my fingers through his hair. ‘’Now, kiss me’’ I demanded.

He approached his lips from mine. His breathe blew soflty into my neck. I slidded my fingers down, under his T-shirt, making contact with his burning skin. Then, without any warning, he crushed his lips against mine in a passionnated kiss. He placed his hand down my back and pressed his body against mine. I gasp from suprise and he took this opportunity to slid his tongue inside my mouth. He grabbed my butt and, at the same time, I sank my nails in his muscular back.

‘’Your nails…’’ He groaned.

‘’I’m sorry’’ I whispered, slightly laughing.

‘’Don’t be’’ He smirk against my lips.

Hope you liked it ♥ and if you want more Eric’s imagine, just send me a request because it was the last part of my Eric Teasing You imagine :)

‘’She’s the one’’  Jeanine Matthews said with a inch of amusement in her voice.

‘’And what do we do know?’’ An all-to familiar voice demanded.

Everything around me was dark and I could feel the panic penetrated every parts of my body. I tried to move, but my arms and my ankles were tied up. Where was I? And why did Eric was there? As I felt a soft hand placed on my shoulder, a woman hand, I began to gesticulate wildly.

‘’Kill her’’ The woman giggled.

‘’With pleasure’’ Eric said.

I could imagine the machiavellian smirk disfiguring his face.

‘’Please no! Eric, I love you! Please don’t do that!’’ I screamed, feeling the tears slipped on my cheeks.

He harshly grabbed my neck as I gesticulated even more. My screams get even louder when I felt the thin needle settled and the serum sank into my veins.

‘’NO’’ I yelled as I woke up.

I tried to reach my breathe while the adrenalin was steal runing into my veins. I felt my heart beating like it wanted to get out of my ribcage. My sheet were soaked of my sweat and tears. When I realised that I was at the Amity, I let escape a long sigh from my mouth and I let myself fall down on my bed.

‘’Tris, I know you don’t want to get up but we need to help the Amity’’ Four said, arching an eyebrow.

‘’It’s not that’’ I groaned.

‘’An other nightmare? Do you need a light for sleeping?’’ Peter teased.

‘’Shut up, Peter’’

We followed Four to recieved our breakfast. The sunbeams were hurting my eyes and I tried to block them with my hands.

‘’You look like a dead with the crimson circle under your eyes’’ The erudite transfer said.

Four rolled his eyes and got straight to our table. Peter brought his face close to my ear and whispered :

‘’Soon, maybe we’ll know if I was right’’

My meal fell to the ground. How could he said that, knowing that Jeanine wanted me dead? I violently pushed the jerk and hit him on his nose. He grapped my wrist and placed himself on top of me and managed to throw his fist into my stomach. I was searching for my breathe when Four finally arrived and separated us.

We were inside the ‘’office’’ of Johanna, the speaker of the Amity. Four was between Peter and I who were steal glancing at each other.

‘’I hope both of you know why you’re here’’ The serene voice of Johanna said.

‘’I’m sorry, I didn’t wanted to disturb the tranquility of the place’’ I apologised.

‘’You, dauntless, will always suprised me’’ She said with no judging in her soft voice.

‘’And stiffs will always suprised me’’ Peter teased.

Didn’t he knows what happen when he pricked on me?

‘’Please guys’’ Four warned us.

When Johanna was about to say something, we heard the sound of the motors of trucks thudded. My eyes got wild as I heard the clang of weapons. I could see the smirk on Peter’s face when he looked upon me.

‘’THEY’RE HERE! THE DIVERGENTS ARE HERE!’’ He screamed.

Johanna glanced at him with wide eyes. She pointed to us the window. Four and I sprint throw it but before I could pass it. Peter harshly pulled me back and I fall on the floor.

‘’Well, well, well. Look who we got here’’

My blood froze in my veins. The steps stopped when, I supposed, he saw me.

‘’Tris?’’ Eric gasped.

Four took advantage of the situation and pulled his gun up to Eric’s shoulder. He shoot and the bullet hardly hit him. His weapon felt on the floor and he pressed his hand on the wound.

‘’Four!’’ I screamed angrily while I get between him and Eric.

‘’What are you fucking doing Tris!?’’ Four shouted.

Honestly, I didn’t know why I put myself between them. Maybe because, in some part of myself, I couldn’t stand seeing Eric getting killed.

‘’You’re mine’’ He soflty whispered in my ear while slipping his fingers on my arms, sending my shivers.

‘’Promise me that, whatever happen, we’ll always be there for each other’’ I beg.

‘’I promise, love’’

Eric gently place a kiss on my forehead then, with his thumb, he lifted up my chin and pressed passionately his lips against mine.

I turned to face Eric, tears falling down my cheeks. He jaw was clenched like if he was trying not to fall appart.

‘’I promised you’’ I said and I saw his blue eyes sparkled.

‘’Tris, he is the ennemy. Get off the way and let me kill him!’’ His voice trembled with rage.

I took the gun of Eric and pointed it toward Four. My hands were shaking and my teeth were bitting my lips.

‘’I’m sorry’’ I whispered while wrapping my arm around Eric’s shoulders  “But if you don’t drop the weapon, I’ll shoot you”

He looked at my dead in the eyes and steal got the gun pointed toward us. A tear felt on the floor when I was about to shoot him.

‘’And if I told them to leave Amity, will you drop your gun?’’ Eric asked with his hoarse voice.

‘’I know you too well, Eric’’

Eric screamed orders to the dauntless who were know with Jeanine. Not long after, we heard the sound of  truck leaving the place. Four slowly lower his weapon, not beleiving what just happen.

‘’It won’t be that easy, but for know, you’re good’’ 

He suspiciously looked at both of Eric and I, before saying : 

‘’I’ll wait for you downstairs’’

Peter and him leaved us alone. I glanced at my lover, feeling a little heart broken and happy at the same time. He lift up my chin, like he always did, forcing me to look at his beautiful eyes.

‘’Tris… I’m sorry-’’ I could tell that he was trying not to let a single tear fall from his eyes. ‘’ that I didn’t kept my promise’’

‘’Well, you saved me by sending them away’’ I shyly smiled, even if I knew that he could have done lot more than that.

‘’Forgive me’’ He wispered, his lips were at an inch from mine.

‘’I will-’’

I place a sweet kiss on his mouth, feeling the tears rolling on my cheek. When his hands grabbed my waist, I gasp. By that, he manage to slide his tongue inside my mouth. His soft tongue was wrapped around mine. I could feel the pain and the love just with that kiss. He pulled my closer, slidding his hands under my shirt, down my back. When Eric left my mouth to kiss my neck, I finished my sentence.

‘’But not today’’

I hope you’ll like it guys :) I did it really fast so I hope it’s  good and sorry for my spealing mistakes ♥

When love isn't enough:It's only see you later

At Dauntless there are seven different roof tops. The fourth one has a stunning view of the city. It also has a little shack that years and years ago used to house a species of birds called pigeons. This was my daddy’s spot. This is where I am hidden crying for all I am worth when Amar finds me.

“Little Bit, you understand nobody,especially not your mother, wants to leave you. We have no choice. In order to survive you and Eric are our last hope.”

“I know you can do it, but ONLY if you do it together. This is the only way we can survive and hope to be able to one day return to the city. Have I ever lied to you before? ” I shook my head no too upset to speak. “So why would I start now? Do you trust me baby? Trust Eric?” I nod yes again.

“Good. Are you ready to come back? We have alot of work to do and very little time to do it.” I cried harder first. My uncle put his arms around me and we just sat until I finally calmed myself down. Twenty minutes later I re-enter my mother’s home.

Eric stands and wraps his arms around me. He sits down pulling me into his lap once again. “Sweetheart I am sorry. None of us meant to take your choices away from you.” he takes a deep breath before he continues. “Aleisia I meant it when I said I love you. You mean more than anything to me. I would gladly sacrifice my own life if it would save yours.” “You are my family now. So that means so is the rest of your family. They are in danger as Audrianna. I intend to fight for them, keep them safe. I want to take back our city so they and other’s like them don’t have to live in fear for their life.” “There’s just one problem. I can’t do it alone. I only trust you to do this with me. I won’t force you to stay and fight. But I will ask you this. Do you trust me? Will spend the rest of your life letting me make you happy and stand by my side no matter what until one of us can’t stand anymore?” a few tears roll down his cheek and his eyes are closed. I put a hand on either side of his face and rest my forehead on his. I press a soft kiss to his lips. “Yes. I love you too.” my mother moved her chair next to us and took a hand from each of us to hold in her own.

“I love you so much baby girl. So much. I don’t want to leave you. I know you have already lost so much. That’s why I had to make sure that Eric thought you are as special as I do and would love and protect you like I would before I left you with him.” “After today it will break my heart a little bit less knowing you have each other.” What will I do without my mother? Why do I loose everyone I love?

“Alright Eric first and foremost you will need to train Aleisia to literally be the female version of yourself. How to fight, how to carry herself in a confident cynical manor. Share all of your intelligence and help her succeed. This is a critical part of this plan. Can and will you do that.” Spoken like the trainer he is. “Of course I can and I will. It will be an honor and privilege.” He kisses me with a need to make me understand.

“Baby girl. It will be your job to never let either of you loose your humanity behind closed doors and in the presences of each other. To be great leaders you will need to be stern and firm and to protect the people you will have to carry on the farce of stone cold killer. People will have to believe you are capable of evil. Don’t loose yourself. Can you do that? ” I can tell it hurts my mother to ask this of us.

“In order to protect my daughter and her assets and make sure there is iron clad security for her membership in Dauntless I am going to ask if you would be willing to marry my daughter.” Both of us looked at my mother to judge if she was serious. She indeed was. I couldn’t seem to find my voice, but Eric found his. “I am. But only if she willing excepts my proposal. Only if she wants to be my wife.” his eyes tell me he meant every word. “We need a definite answer from both of you by Tuesday.” My family looked to eager and pleased at the idea of Eric and I married.

“We need you both to become the absolute best, efficient divergent hunters Jeanine ever asked for and be fucking academy award winning actors at the same time. This is how you will save innocent lives. Can you both do this?”

“You with me no matter what Aleisia? ” for the first time I saw Eric’s fear of rejection plain as day. “I promise to be anything and everything you need me to be.”

The list off demands went on. The how"s, when’s and why where laid out on the table. This was really, truly happening. An offer was also laid on the table for Eric in regard to Audrianna. They offered to take her with them to ensure her safety. He wanted to discuss it with her first. I was happy that was his answer.

By midnight I could see Eric was dead on his feet. He still had to complete stage three in about five to seven hours. I decided it was time to put my foot down. I also wanted to do it with style and flair.

“Alright it’s time to call it a day. My fiancé has a long day ahead of him tomorrow.” Three pairs of eyes turned to look at me.

My mother smiled at me. My uncle winked. But the only pair that mattered to me took on an aura I had never seen in them before.

“Do you truly mean that. You can’t joke about this or take this matter lightly Aleisia.”

“Ask me,” I schooled my feature to give nothing away in true Eric Coulter style.

It took all I had not to smile as I seen him nervous for the first time. He licked his lips and slowly and precisely as only a former Erudite could be got down on one knee in front of me. His palms were sweaty as he took my hand and placed it in his like it was fine china and might break. He looked into my eyes with uncertainty. This was a complete contradiction of everything that made him who he is.

“Aleisia would you do me the honor of letting me spend the rest of my life reminding you that it was and always will be only you.” he looked like he might just pass out.

“ I would love nothing more than to be Mrs. Eric Coulter,” I put my free hand on his cheek and kissed his temple as he kissed my left ring finger. He stood and picked me up and carried me to the bathroom so I could get ready for bed

He was already half asleep when I curled up next to him. He pulled me up on his chest and wrapped me up in arms “You alright sweetheart? I know this is all alot to take in.” he started drawing circles on my shoulders with his finger tips.

The moment I decided I would except this mission with him was also the moment I promised myself I would never lie too him. We would or could not ever succeed if we weren’t honest with each. We were going to have to become like one perfectly in sync. Our lives and the lives of others depended on it.

“Not even close to alright. But I think eventually hopefully I will be.” he held on a little tighter.

“ I have faith we can do this Aleisia. It is going to be the hardest thing we will probably ever do in our lives. We will most likely be utterly miserable for the next two years of our lives, but I know with you and for you it will all be worth it. But sweetheart are you sure you want to do this?” he made sure he could see my eyes clearly.

“ I would NEVER force you to do something you don’t want to. I"ve spent my whole life being forced to do what other people desired. You are the first choice I ever made that was mine and for myself. That’s all I want for you. ”

I kissed his chest and laced his fingers with mine. He was right this would be the hardest thing we would ever do. But right doing what’s right was never easy.

“ I’ll be fine as long as whatever we do in life we do it together. Now go sleep. You need to be your normal, malicious, asshole self for tomorrow.”

When love isn't enough:Feels like goodbye

It’s Sunday. Which is significant for two reasons. Tomorrow Eric completes initiation and today dinner to discuss Eric’s moving in with us permanently. It was surreal to get up today and find my mother and Eric sipping coffee in the kitchen together. I looked at him then at her then back at him again. They were both smiling. This is a miracle in itself that Eric is smiling in front of my mother. He reached out for my hand and pulled me to him. “Good morning beautiful. How did you sleep?” I had nightmares two days in a row. “Better. What are you guys talking about?” I want to know what the hell has Eric smiling. “Childhood stories. Growing up with Dawn, Rusty and Albert,” mom has her nostalgia smile plastered on. I look at Eric out of the corner of my eye and he gives my hand a light reassuring squeeze to say he is fine.

Initiates have Sunday’s off. However he still puts three hours in EVERY Sunday. At my mother’s suggestion I joined him today. Two and a half hours in I’m over it. “Are you you tired sweetheart?” Eric teased. He’s still jumping around like Bambi frolicking threw the damn forest. “Sorry. I’m not the fucking energizer bunny.” he let’s out the loudest, heartiest laugh I ever heard come out of his mouth. “Tell me how you really feel why don’t you,” he takes his stance. “I believe I just did,” I roll my eyes and take my stance as well. After not being able to land any punches I try for a kick. I failed epically. Eric managed to grab my leg and drop me down hard on the mat. Quickly he straddled my hips and pinned my wrist above my head. Leaning down with our lips lightly touching he grins before he whispered. “I win.” Feeling rather mischievous and a little naughty, I wrapped my legs around his waist and hooked my feet behind his calves. Using all the force I had I thrust my hips against his. “No. I win, ” I smirked. He was so caught off guard he held as still as a statue with lust filled eyes holding mine. “Leci don’t. I am running out of will power to fight it,” he hissed in my ear. “So don’t,” I vollied back. “Do you have any idea how fucking crazy you drive my mind and body?"he began to kiss across my collar bone.

"Its like an addiction that is starving that you can’t feed. You crave it, but no matter how much you get your never fully satisfied.” I whispered between kiss up his neck and ears. “How, how did you, I. Fuck it,” he mumbled before starting to grind his hips back against mine. He let go of my wrist and I wrapped my hands in his hsir anchoring myself to him as we slowly devoured each others lips. He had just started to creep his hand up my shorts, someone cleared their throat. Both of our heads turn to see Gage. The assistant trainer and he is glaring at us. “Don’t let me interrupt,” his tone is razor sharp. Eric rolled to a crouching position in front of me. He reached back and handed me his shirt to put on. Then he pulled me up holding my hand keeping on the far side behind him. They two of them starred each other down engaged in some silent argument that I wasn’t privy to. When we reached the pit I yanked on Eric’s arm to get his attention. “What the hell was that about?” I used my authoritve voice. “Drop it Leci. Just let it go,” his eyes were hard and cold. “No. Fuck that. What was that about Eric!?” I wasn’t going to back down. “Aleisia I won’t repeat myself again. Let.it.go. Please.” he was all but pleading. We had dinner and I didn’t want to fight, so I decided to concede, for now. “Fine. We have dinner to get ready for. Let’s go.” I stalked off not waiting for him to follow.

I helped my mother finish dinner and set the table while Amar and Eric sipped on beers in the living room. Something had seemed off with my mother ever since we returned from our training session, but I couldn’t put my finger on it or pinpoint it. “Dinner is ready gentleman, ” she called out in a sing song voice. She’s nervous. What the hell is she nervous about? Eric and I hadn’t spoke to each other since we returned home. However as he sat down he gave me a look clearly wanting to know what was going on. I just shrugged because I had no idea.

“So Eric, Amar says you have really excelled in initiation. Always maintaining between first and second rank. That’s excellent. Have you given any thought to what career you would like to pursue? ” my mother’s smile was forced and fake. “Yes ma'am. I would like either the leadership position or tactical ops commander.” at this my mothers smile was sad. “Raul, Aleisia’s father, held the tactical ops commander position up until he passed away.” she lowered her head and let out a shaky breath. After several minutes of akward silence she trained her gaze on Eric and spoke again. “What are your long term intentions with my daughter? Do you see a future with her or are you just passing the time?” my jaw dropped. “Mother what is going on? What is a matter with you?!” I shouted angrily. “It’s ok Aleisia I understand,” his eyes where still on my mothers. “No the hell it’s not! Mother wh-” “Just answer the damn question!” my mother slammed her hand on the table as she demanded an answer. “Momma please stop it,” my eyes filled with tears as I tried to figure out what was going on. “Permission to speak freely ma'am.” I turned and glared at Eric. This was a family dinner not a damn war zone. My mother flashed a keen smile before she spoke. “Permission granted.” What the absolute fuck? Had they both lost their damn minds? “While it is a fair question I don’t mind asking, let me ask you this first? Why do you feel I owe you an answer and not your daughter and her alone?” his tone was casual but his eyes never left my mother’s or her his. “My you are a clever boy aren’t you. That’s fine. I don’t mind telling you why.” tears slowly began to slide down my mother’s cheeks. “Mother that is enough! What the hell is going on!” I was getting furious. “Aleisia be quiet and let her speak and stop interrupting,” even though he spoke to me he never broke eye contact with my mother. I opened my mouth to protest until my uncle shot me a warning glare to keep quiet. “I feel you owe me an honest answer because I intend to leave my pride and joy, my only daughter and everything my late husband and I worked all of our lives for in your care. Before I do that I would like to know HOW you FEEL about my daughter. What are your intentions?” they continued to stare each other down and I had had enough. “Mother you have clearly lost your mind and I am done with this conversation.” I stood to leave until Eric’s voice boomed out at me. “Sit down Aleisia! Let.her.speak. This would get resolved quicker if you would just keep your mouth shut and listen.” who the hell did he think he was. He was NOT my father. “Eric you can ju-” “Aleisia shut your mouth. Listen to your mother and Eric!” my uncle meant business. I sat back down glaring at my mother until Eric spoke three little words that changed everything. “ I love her,” he spoke so quietly it was barely above a whisper. I dropped my cup as I choked on my drink in shock. The look on Amar’s face was first shocked but then pleased. He turned and smiled at my mother. “Good enough for me. Especially coming from Eric. Go ahead Tish. It’s time to tell both of them everything. We only have two weeks to plan for two years.” We both looked at each other slightly questioning whether we really wanted to know. My mother wiped her eyes, cleared her throat and put her face in her hands. “Mother? ” I was beyond worried at this point. “Little Bit give your momma a moment. This isn’t going to be easy on either of you,” his eyes had an overwhelming sadness to them. He reached out and held my mother’s hand. “Baby I have to leave the city with your uncle and Ryan does too. It will be up to you and Eric to convince Jeanine we are dead.” her voice cracked as she spoke. “WHAT!! WHY!! Please tell me what is going on!” I started to openly cry too. Eric moved his chair next to mine and pulled me in his lap wrapping his arms tightly around me running his finger’s threw my hair “Jeanine has placed a bounty on our heads.” “What the FUCK!?” I jumped up and spun to punch him in the face but my uncle was faster and grabbed my arm to stop me. “ I swear I didn’t know, I don’t know!! She hasn’t said anything like that to me,” Eric spoke calm and clearly and looked me straight in the eye as he spoke. “He speaks the truth Little Bit. She has stopped telling him most things. She doesn’t exactly trust him since Audrianna mysteriously went missing the day of her execution and he started sharing a bed with you honey.” “Fuck. If that’s the case how am I in a position to help anyone.” distress rang in his voice clear as a bell. “Well let us wanted out laws tell you EXACTLY what the both of you are going to do,” Amar looked between us to make sure he still had our attention.

“What are your crimes are you guilty of,” I could tell he had an idea. I think he hoped he was wrong. “Divergence.” my uncle stated . “Shit. I was afraid you were going to say that. How are all three, four including your late husband, divergent but Aleisia is not.” his Erudite was getting the best of him. “Nose, your Erudite is showing,” I snapped. He just rolled his eyes at me and turned back to my mother. “ I honestly have no idea. She is actually Erudite. But you have to promise me you will keep her in Dauntless.” “There is NO chance in HELL she’s going to Erudite. Over my dead body.” I was getting irate. They kept talking about me like I wasn’t even there.

“HELLO!! I AM SITTING RIGHT HERE!! Don’t all of you think you need to be addressing me and not ignoring the fact I am in the same damn room. You know what. I have nothing to say to any of you.”

I turned around and stormed out the door slamming it behind me. A little ways down the hall I took off running. I was tired of everyone else making my decisions for me. This was really starting to feel like goodbye.

When love isn't enough:Light and darkness

Mature content and strong language Divergent fanfiction: Eric/OC @pathybo @tigpooh67 @ljvosscmt @beautifulramblingbrains @clublulu333 @frecklefaceb @glamlover87 @kiiiimberlyriiiicker1995 @dani5102 @scorpio2009 @jackiefreakqueen @beltz2016 @mom2reesie @ariwolff14 @james-k-delaney @singingpeople @ericdauntless @muffinmano @sparklemichele @drowning-in-my-dreams @jaihardy @crystalbaby12 Eric’s POV I lay here drawing lazy circles on my girls shoulder while she sleeps peacefully. More so just to keep my hand moving more than anything. It’s somewhat of a nervous tick. I hate not being in control almost as much as I hate Jeanine. Right now I don’t feel in control of anything. Especially my emotions. I’m not sure if I am more pissed off or afraid. I’ll go with pissed but it’s probably a lie. There is a hell of a war in my head right now between the light and the darkness, both struggling for dominance. The darkness is my mistress, an old friend who has danced in my head for over a decade. The light, she is new in town, I don’t know how much I like her because she brings pain and heart ache. Words from my father’s letter tumble threw my head, hot like clothes in the dryer. I was his proudest accomplishment in life. But it pained and haunted him that he failed me. He asked that I always love and protect our little princess. That is a knife right threw my ice cold heart. Don’t let the anger and bitterness of a fucked up life consume you or you’ll end up a carbon copy of Jeanine, he hit that nail on the head. The thing that tormented me the most was his closing statement. No matter how bad life beats you down remember some one will ALWAYS love you, I do I always have and always will. The irony is I finally know these things but he’s fucking dead. I was robbed and endured a fucking monster who made it his life’s mission to punish me. Now I have a ruthless, maniacal, insane cunt ruling me, or trying her damnedest at least. She has repeatedly robbed me of love, laughter and happiness. I can feel the anger start to boil and rage like an unbalanced washer inside of me. It’s time to get up and leave. I try to make sure to distance myself from Aleisia when this beast awakens in me, I don’t ever want to find myself turning misplaced hate on her again.

She looks so peacefully and serene. I look at her longingly before I walk out the door. I think of last night and the wanton lust in her eyes as she looked at me while I gave her the first taste of a real man. It gave me pride to know I made her feel that, I set her body a blaze. I showed her the best I could how much I want and desired her without having actual entered her. I am saving that as a reward for both of us when initiation is complete, incentive. I really should just let her sleep but I have to be able to gaze into those emerald eyes one more time. “I hope you think of me all day,” are my smug and prideful parting words as I leave to hit some shit in the training room.

I have been beating the shit out of this damn ugly orange punching bag images of those who have wronged me swimming in my head. I suddenly see the light on my tablet start flashing green. It’s a new email from that bitch Jeanine. It has been arranged that I accompany a nurse named Jen to Erudite for her CPR training so I don’t violate the no leaving the compound without a Dauntless member rule. Seems its time for us to chat as she phrased it.

I really do not want to even give a shit about her wants and demands anymore. After everything she has taken from me. I know I have to keep playing the part for now at least. She’ll kill me or even worse Aleisia.

“Amar could I have a word privately please,” I have to tell him I have a meeting with Jeanine. “Eric you look like hell. What’s wrong?” he sounds genuinely concerned. “Heh, everything. But I have been summonsed to Erudite for a meeting with that evil bitch this afternoon. If, if I don’t make it back tell-” “Nonsense Coulter. Your still to important in her schemes at the moment. Tell her nothing of what you know or have seen. Keep it to business as usual. Keep up your poker face.” “Easy for you to say. Your not the one the bitch torments for sport.” he subtly flinches. “Don’t be so sure about it that. Oh and I shouldn’t be telling you but I can’t have you miss it and I won’t hunt you down. You MUST be in the dorms by one thirty. War games tonight.” “Shit. Alright. Don’t suppose Aleisia could join us?” can’t blame a guy for trying. “She isn’t a member so sadly no. I wish she could. Little bit would kick some ass.” his voice is full of pride. “Yes, yes my girl would.”

I sit outside of Jeanine’s office for twenty minutes waiting. She’s trying to make me sweat. She knows better, I don’t break easily. She made sure of.

“Ms.Matthews will see you now,” her obnoxious assistant nods for me to follow her. I can’t stand her. She always eyes me like candy. Licking her lips or always trying to find a reason to touch me. It’s annoying. “Good afternoon Eric. It’s time to discuss your future. You’ve been a bit of a disappointment as of late,” she glares at me with hate. “The feelings are mutual,” shit, had to open my mouth. “Need I remind you of your place on the food chain? No? Good. So what seems to be the problem for you to be poor performance?” is she kidding me? “ I have worked my ass off. I’m ranked second,” I seethed. “Yes second. To the son of Marcus Eaton no less. Maybe I should just eliminate you all together and recruite him.” she plaster her face with her fake smile. “Don’t do me any favors.” I don’t know how much more I can take before I become unhinged. “Is your pet becoming to much of a distraction? Or is it stress over the sudden disappearance of your pathetic little brat?” it takes everything I have not to advance on her. “Did I strike a nerve? Are you angry? Maybe even a little sad,” she mocks. “Get it together Eric. If you don’t I will make the girl disappear next. Which would be ashame. I would rather make her a useful weapon.” fuck I knew I should have just let her go. “Get out of my sight. Pray to whatever deity you believe in you can still land leadership. I have task for you to complete.”

The train ride back to Dauntless is spent talking myself out of going back and murdering her. I am running out of options and patience. Amar and I are going to have a serious talk about involving Aleisia. Maybe he was right. Maybe it is what will keep her safe. The thought sickens me.

One more week until initiation is complete. The outcome might just seal my fate. In the mean time I need to find my girl, make sure she is fine. Try to get her to take a nap with me so I can get some sleep before war games tonight.

When love isnt enough:About that

Mature content and strong language Divergent fanfiction: Eric/OC @pathybo @tigpooh67 @ljvosscmt @beautifulramblingbrains @beltz2016 @clublulu333 @scorpio2009 @frecklefaceb @societalfailure @kiiiimberlyriiiicker1995 @glamlover87 @dani5102 @angolodiparadiso @mom2reesie @ariwolff14 @james-k-delaney @ericdauntless @drowning-in-my-dreams @crystalbaby12 @muffinmano @sparklemichele @singingpeople Standing at the edge of the pit and I am ready to have a melt down. Where the hell did he go. I am convinced he snuck out of the compound again. I turn down the corridor stomping like a child throwing a tempertantrum. I don’t want to have to talk to Amar by myself. I am not a very good liar. What do I even say? Before I can even comprehend what is happening I am being jerked down a dark side corridor. I pull back my fist prepared to scream just as I get let go.

“Aleisia sweetheart, hey, hey it’s just me.” Eric. Of course. “You need to stop doing that jerk,” he has been doing this to me for months now. I slapped his chest as he just tries not to laugh. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you? ” “The computer lab. I had a few things to do. I don’t want to talk about it in the open. I’ll tell you tonight at home.” Home? I think I might like the sound of that. Something I use to think I didn’t want. A home with a significant other.

“Is something wrong?” oops. Train jumped the track for a second. “Actually yes. Amar knows we got off the train at four thirty. I don’t know what else he knows. He wants us both in his office.” he doesn’t look pleased.

His face takes on a dark sinster look. For the first time in awhile he is actually scarring me. He must realize what he looks like, he lets his features relax and circles his arms around me. “Sorry. Just threw me off. Nobody can know where we went. Audrianna’s life depends on it.” “I know. But you need to promise me you aren’t going to hurt my uncle.” I think this is part of why I don’t fully trust him yet. “I won’t hurt him. I may have to adjust his memory though.” he cocks his head to the side in thought. “I can live with that. Stop thinking so hard. Your Erudite is showing.” At this he lets out a small laugh. “I have to stop at the dorms quick first, but lets go now.”

I knock lightly on Amar’s office door. This whole situation is making me feel uneasy. Eric too I think. After being invited in we enter and sit down while Amar is studying our every move. “I swear I think you are part Candor sometimes,” I snipe at him. “Worse.” is all he says. “You wanted to see us sir.” Eric is rigid and tense. “Relax Coulter. Neither of you are in trouble. I have no intentions of telling anyone you left. I have something’s to discuss with you both and this one needs to not lie to me,” he narrowed his eyes in my direction. “We just wen-” “Shut up son. I don’t want you lieing to me either.” Eric’s eyes darkened. “After initiation I must leave the city. I need to fake my death. You two are going to help me. In the meantime we need to make plans on how your going to stop Jeanine and stop a war.”

Eric’s eyes went wide, then his face twisted into a feral look. What the hell was Amar talking about and what did he know? I started to panic. I was afraid a fight was going to break out and it would be nasty. But Eric actually surprised me “This really is not the place to discuss such matters with all due respect sure.” he is calm. A little too calm. “Relax son. My cameras in here are on a repetitive loop right now.” he smiles coyly. “Amar I don’t understand. What on Earth are you talking about.” “Well I had to wait and see who you decided on first Little Bit. Thing’s are not as they seem. However young Coulter here is already well aware of that. Seeing as how you chose Eric now you two are just about the cities last hope.” he is serious. This can’t be good.

“Sir I think you are mistaken. I don’t know what you think I know,” he cuts Eric off again. “Jeanine is your mother not Elaine. I knew your father. He was a good friend. She murdered him along with my brother. For being Divergent.”

“Jeanine murdered my father? Uncle have you been dabbling in the herb garden again?” this is insane. “You knew my father? How do you know everything you know? How do I know I can trust you? That you aren’t lieing to me.” Eric seems torn between excited and suspicious. “Easy. I will show you. Follow me. Both of you,” he stands and we all head to the lower levels of Dauntless.

This is a place I didn’t even know existed. I can feel the unease and tenison radiating from the man standing next to me. After everything he told me I suppose I understand. Soon we arrive in a low lit area in front of rows of I think storage lockers. We stopped at the last and largest one.

Amar pulled out keys and unlocked it. He motioned Eric over to help him lift the door. Inside where lots of boxes, furniture, a safe, a damn motorcycle. I thought those were obsolete. “What is all of this,” Eric was eyeing the motorcycle like it was a precious resource or something. “It’s yours. These are all your father’s belongings. Rusty left everthing he had to you. His only child.” he surveyed the contents before turning to Amar. “He knew about me? Why didn’t he rescue me from those idiots in Erudite?” I can’t tell if he is more angry or hurt. “He tried. Candor ruled in Jeanine and Elaine’s favor. He was killed three weeks later.” “His name was Rusty?” how is he so damn calm? “Rusty Garrens. Your Aunt is still here in Dauntless. Your uncle is in Candor. He watches over Ryan for me.” “I have more family? Do they know about me?” he looks like he might get sick. I know I would. “Albert knew of you but not who you or your mother are. Dawn does not. Both of your grandparents are gone I think. Or at least Factionless. This is Dauntless you know.” The two men stepped inside the large unit. Amar gave Eric a gold and a silver key. “The silver one opens the door. Gold the safe.” “May I?” he nods to the safe. “Of course. It is after all yours.” my uncle smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “How do you know all of the things you know? Why did you wait so long to tell me?” he inquiries while working on opening the safe. “Rus and Tish were Dauntless born. Raul, Jeanine and myself Erudite. Of course Raul loved Tish. They met at school. He knew she would never leave Dauntless, so he came here. He was best friends with Rusty and he always had an eye for Jeanine.” “She was never going to leave Erudite. Your grandmother groomed her to take over as leader since she could walk. Rusty wasn’t going to ever leave here either. Jeanine was furious. The only man she ever had eyes for and he defied her. Refused to join her.” “How the hell did she manage to conceive me? I am extremely curious.” I could see that Erudite brain turning.

“She begged Rus. But they had to do it the way they did to not be found out as faction traitors guilty of treason. When Rusty found out Elaine actually had you and how Michael treated you he marched right into Erudite threatened to kill both of them and tried to take you. Needless to say he didn’t get far.”

“He went to Albert in Candor and was granted a closed circuit investigation and trial and custody proceedings. Jeanine won. She vowed revenge. Always was a bitter, cruel bitch.”

“She use to use Rus and Raul for trial runs on all new forms of fear serums. That’s how she discovered they where Divergents.” my uncle looked so sad. I have never seen such sorrow in his eyes. “She used the Factionless riots to cover up their murder’s didn’t she?” Hell fire burned in Eric’s eyes. “Precisely. I always figured you would end up here. Waited for it. Then you and Four end up going toe to toe over my niece right before my very eyes. Reminded me of Raul and his friend David over Tish years ago.” my cheeks flamed red while my uncle winked at me. “I sat back waiting to see what path she would choose. I always planned things this way. I just didn’t know if she would end up part of this. As long as you control your damn temper and treat her right, I couldn’t be more pleased.” he smiled brightly at Eric.

“I swear I just want to keep her safe. See if she can show me how to love. She’s already given me someone to trust,” I felt tears sting my eyes. “I have a long way to go. I’m extremely damaged I am afraid. But I try every day. For her.” he was pulling large yellow envelopes out of the safe.

“Let’s take the envelopes and have dinner at my place yeah.” Amar suggested. “Sure. I’d like that. Can you carry a few of these for me sweetheart.”

“Absolutely fucking not!!” Eric slammed his hand on the table. “She will NEVER have contact with Jeanine let alone volunteer to hunt Divergents. Have you lost your fucking mind,” Amar sighed while Eric raged. “You need people you trust if we are to save as many people as possible. I trust my niece with my life.”

The conversation went south quickly. It was suggested I help so we could deceive and gather intel on Jeanine. Amar also felt it would eliminate her from using me as leverage and deemed it safer. “Eric it would be the safest thing for her. Besides, she would even out your damn temper. ” they are giving me a headache. I was ready to go home.

“Call it a night. Take her home get her in bed. Think about it. We have time still.”

“There is nothing to think about. Not fucking happening. Wait. Did you just give me permission to stay with Aleisia? ” I was shocked to say the least because that was sure what it sounded like. Amar just gave him a sly grin. “Permission? No. Just don’t get caught same as you haven’t for weeks now. It’ll be fine.” “You’ve known?” I want to die of embarrassment. I figured my mother knew, but never Amar. “I know more than you think Little Bit. It puts my mind at ease, you not being by yourself so much, a man to protect you and your mother. I think after initiation is done he should just move in if it’s ok with the three of you. Your mother suggested it.” what the hell? I don’t even know if Eric would want to live with us. “We can all have dinner here on Sunday to discuss it. Get home you two, it’s late. It’s been an emotional evening and Eric still has training in the morning.” what a day. It was beyond crazy and insane.

We laid in bed opening up the large yellow envelopes from the safe. There was pictures of Eric when he was young.

Love that Amar knew the whole time, lol! And they thought they were being sneaky! I also love the way it's playing out with his story line - Eric helping him to escape and framing out his death. Great idea!!! ❤️

When love isn't enough:Lifes a joke

Mature content and strong language Divergent fanfiction:Eric/OC @pathybo @tigpooh67 @ljvosscmt @beautifulramblingbrains @clublulu333 @frecklefaceb @ariwolff14 @kiiiimberlyriiiicker1995 @glamlover87 @dani5102 @james-k-delaney @ericdauntless @mom2reesie @singingpeople @societalfailure @crystalbaby12 @muffinmano @scorpio2009 @drowning-in-my-dreams @angolodiparadiso Eric’s POV “… I choose this. I choose you.” she’s saying holding my face. My eyes snap shut quickly as I feel that unfamiliar sting. Fucking really? My life is a joke. I’ve worked so hard for this. Can I really walk away from this, from her. I try to tune her out. Ignore her. I just want to keep her safe. Am I wrong for that? She makes me want to be a better person. Slowly bringing the humanity Jeanine stripped away back. Feelings hurt, I don’t like this shit.

I sigh opening my eyes looking out the door of the train. About ten more minutes to Amity. How am I suppose to leave my babysister? It’s what’s best, the only way to keep her safe. This is so unfair. To all of us. I gently shake my sister awake. She rubs her eyes looking around. Here come the tears again. I’m not mad, it’s just killing me. “Are we in Amity?” “Soon baby. Work on waking up. We’re going to have to jump.” I turn to Aleisia.

“You’ll help? Hold her hand?” of course she will. She’s fucking amazing. She nods her head yes. She has done everything and anything for us. I know I don’t deserve her. But I don’t want to give her up. I have the girls get ready to jump. Hoist the two heavy bags on my shoulders. Aleisia walks up to me, kisses my cheek. I reach out, run my hand gently down her face. She leans into my touch. “It’s ok sweetheart. I’ll be right behind you. Thank you so much.” I give her the softest quick kiss. I think I might just love her, if I knew what the fuck love is. But I am pretty sure I don’t. Nobody has ever looked at me like this. The way she does. If she knew everything I have done in this life, she wouldn’t either. Shit these feelings hurt. No wonder why Jeanine shuts them off. It’s easier. But when have I ever took the easy way out? I count to five and the girls jump from the train. I’m three seconds behind. Aleisia and Audi stumble, but they don’t fall. I am truly proud.

I see Sonny under the tree in the distance. Bright yellow tank top, floor length skirt. No shoes, never any damn shoes. She eyes the girls behind me curiously, especially Aleisia. “Don’t,” I growl quietly. “Nice,” she smirks. I give her a death glare that says stop, I mean it. She shrinks back a little. She never really seen me get hostile. If she’s smart she will never want or try too. We walk silently threw the dark in Amity. Stealthily we enter Sonny’s house. She lives by herself l, thankfully it is a small two bedroom cottage.

I start to review the paperwork with Sonny. It’s time to let my sister pick her new name. This should be interesting. She has never been allowed to ever make her own choice, on ANYTHING.

“I get to pick my own name?” she squeaks. Now I do love THAT smile on her face. Rarely does anyone ever get to see a Coulter with a smile on their face. “Erin. Can I be Erin?” she smiles so big over something so simple. “Absolutely. Is that who you want to be? Erin.” she nods her head excitedly. Sonny and I let out little laughs. Where is Aleisia? I scan the room. In a corner curled up in a chair. The look in her eyes is so far away. I’ve been ignoring her on purpose. I am such a bastard. I just want to start distancing myself, so maybe it won’t hurt as much later. Doubtful. It will hurt like a mother fucker anyway. Am I doing the right thing for her. “Eric, you don’t really want to do that to her, again.” my sister says giving me a sideways evil eye. “ I have to,” I shrug trying to look careless. “Oh bullshit you liar,” she hisses at me. I’m literally shocked at her out burst. “Language young lady!!” I snap. It took off guard. My sister is so hurt and pissed. But I don’t blame her. This is mine and Jeanine’s fault. How I hate her. She keeps finding little ways to destroy me mentally. She enjoys it. Evil bitch. That is what she is. I want to take her down. Could I do it, am I capable? “Eric? Eric?” “I"m sorry. What was that?” I have to stop. Now is no time to be distracted.

“I said how is Dauntless initiation going?” “Fine. Stop asking questions about me. It’s none of your fucking business.” I snap. I look at Aleisia out of the corner of my eye. She looks defeated and exhausted. I won’t let my old friend disrespect her. This is business, about my sister, not me. I am only Aleisia’s business. Wow. I have never given a woman this level of respect before. I don’t even do it consciously. I don’t want her to hurt. Such an intersting concept to me. When did I REALLY start to care about her? I don’t really recall. “Sorry.” Sonny mumbles quietly. Damn it. She knows how I am. Why does it even suprise her? It shouldn’t. We never were anything, we just fucked and I helped her now she is helping me. It’s simple, thats it. A thought suddenly hits me. “Sonny are you jealous?” I ask quietly and harshly. She just gives a very minute nod of her head. “Well knock that shit off. You have no reason!” I won’t tolerate that. She is not important. “Erin,” I half smile, “it’s time for us to go.” Sonny gave me keys to a guest cottage. The next train doesn’t come for three and a half hours. “No no no!! Please Eric, please don’t leave me!!” Aleisia and Audrianna are crying, Aleisia quietly in the corner. “Baby I am so sorry. I have to. I have no other way to try to protect you, I have to keep you safe.” I just need to figure out how to take down Jeanine. “Audrianna baby, come here. We’ll visit as often as we can. I promise,” Aleisia wraps her arms around her tight. This amazing, strong, beautiful young woman. That’s what drew me to her.

We leave and sneak over to the guest cottage. Sonny said just leave it unlocked when we leave. She’ll take care of it later. I am grateful, but she does owe me after all I did for her, so I refuse to feel guilty. I open the back pack taking out black sweat pants and a black t-shirt. I hand Aleisia the t-shirt of mine, it will be huge and comfortable for her. I send her to the bathroom to change and I’ll change here. I crawl in the bed and lay down so when she comes out my back will be facing her. I have to put the distance in. I hate hurting her, the looks on her face. I know what I have to do in a few hours. I have to do this for me. She won’t remember. I hear her soft foots pad up to the bed. However she has stopped and doesn’t get on the bed. After a moment or two I look to see what in the hell she is doing, my breath catches in my throat. She stands there looking at me in nothing but black cotton panties. Bathed in soft moonlight. Fuck she is so damn beautiful. No, I can’t, she can’t, what is she thinking? “Go get the t-shirt and put it on. Please.” I make sure to sound stern. She ignores me laying down trying to pull me to her. I groan desperate to push her away. This can’t and wont happen “Aleisia stop. We aren’t doing this,” my voice goes sharp. I want to so damn bad. “Why? Isn’t this what you’ve wanted.” she is trying so hard to sound seductive. “NO! Yes, I, stop this! We just can’t,” her eyes start to pool with tears. SHIT!! Why does she have to do this? “Was this your plan all along Eric? Toy with me, get me to care about you, then make a fool out of me. Rip my feelings apart, break me,” her voice is a shivering mess. “No,” I have a moment of weakness. I crash my lips to hers, wrapping one hand in her soft hair while the other skims her ribs. Her arms wrap around me while her hands blaze a trail so softly down my back. Involuntarily my body shudders and she lets out a beautiful little moan. I can’t even stop myself from rolling on top of her. She’s so fucking perfect. Damn it I have to stop this. If we cross this line there is no turning back. I go to scramble off the bed trying to get away from her. However she grabs my wrist in a death grip. “Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong? Am I not pretty enough, brave enough. Not good enough?” I hear the pain in her tone. She deserves an explanation. This isn’t fair. I don’t want to hurt her. Never wanted to. Seems as if that’s all I keep continuously keep doing to her. “No. You are someone I NEVER wanted to hurt. God, you are so beautiful. You have NO IDEA how much I want you. We can’t. Aleisia when we get back I plan on erasing ever good memory of me from your mind. I don’t fucking know how else to keep you safe from Jeanine.” My throat is closing up and my eyes are burning. I can’t look at her.

She is all I ever wanted and more. I am trying like hell not to be a selfish prick. She has to understand its what is in her best interest. “Fuck you Eric!! When do I ever get a say in anything? You get to make all my decision’s? Is that what you think!? NO!! YOU DON’T GET TO DO THIS!!” she is in full on freak out mode. I don’t know what to do to calm her down. So what do I do? Roll back over and start kissing her again. She pulls her head back and grabs my face hard.

“You need to trust me Eric. Give me some damn credit. I am NOT just some little girl!! Do you understand that!? I deserve a choice if I feel this is too dangerous. You don’t get to choose for me. I am three weeks away from eighteen damn it!! I thought you trust me!! Prove it, start acting like it !!” She is pissed. Her chest is heaving and her face is beat red. Her pulse is racing. Fuck, she still doesn’t have any clothes on yet. “Fine. Put the fucking shirt on. I will tell you everything. You won’t like it. You’ll be begging me to do this for you!!”

I am struggling to control my temper. She doesn’t get it, has no idea. But she’s about to. If this is what it takes to get her to understand, so be it. This is going to kill me, at least she stay safe and alive. Go sugar coat shit and be happy with Four. She deserves a man like that. Fuck I am nervous. This is going to be a mess.

When love isn't enough:Ghost of indiscretions past

Mature content and strong language Divergent fanfiction:Eric/OC @pathybo @tigpooh67 @ljvosscmt @ariwolff14 @beautifulramblingbrains @clublulu333 @angolodiparadiso @frecklefaceb @societalfailure @ericdauntless @kiiiimberlyriiiicker1995 @glamlover87 @muffinmano @james-k-delaney @mom2reesie @drowning-in-my-dreams @dani5102 @singingpeople Eric’s POV I had to get ahold of Sonny. After Aleisia she was the only person I could put my trust in. Well it helped I had intel to hold over her head for her silence, although I am sure I would never need it. I would hide Audrianna in Amity with her.

I became an associate or so I classify her, when I was sixteen. I had been sitting in the cafeteria lost in my own thoughts when a blur of yellow landed in the seat next to me. This paticular Amity had always intrigued me. She was bold and blunt. Not afraid to do whatever the hell was on her mind, consequences be damned. She knew I watched her, she watched me back. Very bold on her part, possibly stupid. “Eric fucking Coulter you look stressed. I do declare you need more fun in your life,” this crazy girl had the nerve to say to me. “Do I look like a damn fun loving fucking tree hugger to you.” I was dead calm. “I meant the kind of fun that releases stress honey,” she whispered in my ear putting her hand on my inner thigh and dragging in slowly towards my cock.

I snatched her wrist tightly and put my lips to her ear. “Don’t start something you don’t intend to finish,” I growled. I expected her to run for the hills. Boy was I wrong. “I always let a man finish what I start,” she ran her tongue down the shell of my ear. I had only been with Nancy, the train wreck and a girl named Tara who asked if we could for the sake of research. I stood up still holding her wrist dragging her behind me to a lab I happen to know was empty with a small sleeping quarters in it. I never allowed anyone to know where my studio is. I flung the door open pushed her inside and turned to lock the door. I felt a little self conscious to turn around as my erection was already straining my slacks. “Eric? Turn around,” she called out in a hushed tone. All she had on was some silk pink panties. My breath caught in my chest. She looked so damn sexy laying there, running her hand slowly up and down her chest. I stood beside the bed just looking at her until she got impatient and started to rid me of my clothes. We spent all night exploring each others bodies and trying all the things I had only dreamed about alone in my bed. When morning came and it was time to part ways she simply told me it was fun, that we should do it again sometime and she was glad to have helped me relive some stress. I said nothing and just headed home to shower and change. Jeanine was sitting on my bed shooting daggers at me with her eyes when I entered my studio. I didn’t quite frankly give a shit what she wanted a proceeded to grab a towel and fresh clothes. “Long night? Where have you been Eric. You missed your training?” she had a calm tone but her eyes said she was livid. I just shrugged and gave her an answer I knew would only piss her off more. “Having fun.” yes I am already on her bad side. Why not finish it with a bang.

To my surprise she just stood to go. When she got to the door she paused and turned back to me. “Remember, feminine wiles usually mean they want something. Make sure you get something in return.” then she left. Nosy bitch. Sonny and I continued to have an amazing no emotions attached sex life until her choosing ceremony. Of course Jeanine had been right. She was trying to get her hands on her sealed adoption files and some shady back door dealings involving her adopted parents. For the two months before her choosing ceremony I went behind her cleaning up her messes everytime she tried to obtain information. She may have been beautiful and brave, but intelligence was definitely not her forte’. I took over researching and obtaining all the information she was seeking. Every time I produced more intel I was rewarded with earth shattering oral sex and being taught new sexual tricks. The night before her ceremony we said a hell of a farewell and the knowledge she owed me and I would be collecting someday.

Today was that day. She worked alongside the leader of Amity, she was Johanna right hand. I sent her an e-mail to meet me at nine by the train tracks just outside of Amity. When I jumped off the train I saw her standing under an old oak tree. Wearing a full length strapless pink dress, strawberry blonde hair blowing in the wind and of course, no shoes on. She never seemed to have any damn shoes on. She was a vision. Only more beautiful than she was two years ago. If I had any sexual desires for any female other than the one I left protecting my sister in Dauntless I would have taken her right there. Part of me still wanted too. But I knew I couldn’t as soon as she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I tried to deepen it but just found myself feeling guilty and slightly disgusted with myself. Fuck what was wrong with me? Feeling no pleasure and I knew she felt the awkwardness too, she backed up looking me up and down appraising my new Dauntless look. “Looking fucking sexier than ever Coulter. Who’s the female? She must be amazing?” she smiled with a teasing wink. “Nobody.” I snapped. “Liar, we’d be fucking as we speak if someone else wasn’t on your mind. It’s cool. I hope you found someone who can actually make you happy you grumpy asshole,” I wanted to smack her, but I could tell she only meant to be complimenting me in her own ridiculous way. “Shut your damn mouth woman. It’s time to pay the piper. What I need you to do is important to me, highly dangerous and a long term project. If you fuck it up, I will kill you.”

She just smiled and nodded for me to go on. She knew as much as I did like her I was serious. She also knew she owed me. “I need you to set up a fake adoption of a thirteen year old girl. You will list her as a Factionless refuge and you will be the one adopting her,” she looked at me curiously. “Who’s the girl?” she knew it wasn’t really a Factionless girl or I wouldn’t give a shit. “My sister. Jeanine is going to try to kill her,” her eyes went wide. I could see the uneasy look in her eyes. “Eric, I don’t know. Am I really the right person for this? I do-” I cut her off.

“You’re the only person for this. I trust you. Amity is the safest place for her. Besides if anyone knows a thing or two about scandalous adoptions it’s you,” she smiled wickedly. “We do make a good team. I also owe you my life and freedom. Let’s talk shop.”

It was after midnight before I finally snuck back into Dauntless and Aleisia’s home. I now laid here on the floor starring at the clock. Two a.m. my mind wouldn’t still itself.

I wondered how many people looked in the mirror and hated the person looking back at them so mucj they wanted to punch the mirror. Being involved in my life with my family was a danger to ones health. Could I really put Aleisia threw that? Put a target on her back for Jeanine to use against me.

No other female that I had brought into my life had ever meant anything to me. A means to an end. But look what that had cost some of them. For fucksakes, Hazel took her own life. A chill ran threw me thinking about her. I never wanted to do it. I knew I would destroy an Abnegation. Jeanine had threatened to use a new experimental serum on me if I didn’t comply. I never wanted to be one of her experiments again. If I didn’t do it willingly she would have found a way.

I never wanted something so bad as I want Aleisia in my life. I am selfish son of a bitch who will do whatever it takes. However I don’t think I can do this. It puts her in the very danger I want to protect her from. I don’t think I will be giving her her memories back. As a matter of fact, I think once Audrianna is safely in Amity, she will be forgetting about me. I will just have to watch over her from a distance. Can I really handle that? I have to. I will just end up getting her hurt or worse. Hell I already have. One of the girls started stirring around on the bed. I hear Aleisia whisper my name. I sat up to look at her. Suddenly she sat up bolt right in the bed and locked eyes with me. “Are you alright?” I asked quietly. She nodded her head as she got out of the bed. Where the hell is she going?

To my utter suprise she sat down on the floor next to me and pushed me so I was laying on my back. She laid her head on my chest and wrapped her arm around my torso. A small sigh escaped her lips. “Just hold me,” she mumbled.

I wrapped my arms around her pulling her tight to me. My heart ached slightly. It was going to be hell giving this up. She was finally just starting to come around to the idea of me.

“ I told you there was good in you,” she kissed my chest.

My whole body tensed up. For only the third time in my life butterflies erupted in my stomach. This was going to fucking kill me. Everything I wanted was finally just within my reach. But I had no choice. I have to protect her. Even if it’s from myself. I know I deserve a miserable life for everything I have ever done. Damn I just wanted a good life with the girl in my arms more than anything.

“Go back sleep beautiful. We have to get up soon.” I kissed the top of her head as I slowly drug my hand up and down her back.

I finally felt my eyes getting heavy. I got the best sleep when she is next to me. I don’t know how I am going to walk away from this.

Giving you a hard time

(Eric x reader)

Imagine: Eric giving you a hard time at Dauntless

A/N: Sorry this one’s a little short, I just wanted to post something because I haven’t written in a while xx

I walked along the dim empty stone corridors, heading quickly towards the infirmary. My right arm was throbbing with pain after sparring with one of the guy initiates that Eric had paired me with, so I had left to get some help.

I heard rough, heavy footsteps coming from behind me and I turned around to find Eric walking towards me in the distance.

“Y/N!” he called out, eyeing me angrily.

I really didn’t have the energy to deal with him right now, so I quickened my pace and walked away in the other direction. He had been giving me a hard time ever since I transferred to Dauntless and I really didn’t need to see him right now.

Luckily, I seemed to lose him as the footsteps faded.

However, as I turned the corner, about to head into the infirmary, I felt a strong hand close tightly around my wrist, pulling me away in the opposite direction. 

The tight grip bruising my wrist could only belong to one person: Eric.

He stopped me abruptly, causing me to wince as I felt my body being shoved into the stone wall. Without releasing the tight grip on my wrist, he placed his other arm against the wall, trapping me between him and the wall.

I felt my breathing hitch as I pushed myself further into the wall, ignoring the pain digging into my back, as I tried to create more distance between him and myself.

He only leaned in closer. The closing gap between our two bodies made my heart race, but I was determined not to show the effect he had on me.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going, initiate?” he hissed.

“To the infirmary to get my arm patched up. I’m sure you saw what happened in there, Eric.” I said looking upwards at the Dauntless leader. I would not let him get to me.

The angry expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

“Did I tell you to go to the infirmary?”

“No, I let myself go.” I replied as I tried to pull my arm out of his grip. It unsuccessfully resulted in him gripping my wrist tighter and me shutting my eyes to block out the pain. I hated it when he did that - it just proved how much power he had over me.

“You don’t get to make the rules around here, initiate.” he said, emphasizing the word initiate.

“Training isn’t finished yet. Get back inside. You can go to the infirmary later” He ordered and released me as though nothing had happened.

As he disappeared into the shadows, I didn’t even realize I had been holding my breath this whole time until a sigh escaped my lips and the pain in my wrist from when Eric had grabbed me was now throbbing more than my injured arm.

Training to be a leader pt. 2

(Eric x reader)

Imagine: Eric training you to be a Dauntless leader - part 2

I dragged my tired self into Eric’s office for the second time this week. My eyes scanned idly around the room. I had never really realized how organized everything was. Of course it would be. Ex-erudite, I thought to myself.

A cough brought my attention back to the man sitting at his desk with the usual scowl on his face.

“I need you to go and get something from Tori. She’s up at the control room, you have 5 minutes,” he said, before turning back at his computer.

“Excuse me?” I asked, questioning the relation between this task and my leadership training.

He looked back up at me and raised an eyebrow. I could tell he wasn’t expecting me to respond back to him, but now that I was almost a leader, I felt like I had a newfound confidence, which allowed to me to say whatever I liked to Eric. And I liked it.

I stood there with my hands on my hips, while we both waited for the other to say something.

After a while, he looked at his watch and replied, “You have four minutes left.”

I rolled my eyes, let out a sigh and walked back out the glass doors that I had entered less than 5 minutes ago.

“It’d be smart to run, Y/N,” he called out after me and I waved a hand in dismissal.

When I made my way up to the top of the control room, Tori was sitting there with a large cardboard box at her feet. 

“Hey, Y/N, have you seen Eric?” she asked me.

“You mean the devil? Yeah, I just had training with him and I was left lying on the floor in the gym for 10 minutes.” I complained, knowing she would understand.

She gave me a sympathetic look and I replied with a shrug.

“Oh well, I’m ok now, but he sent me up here to get something from you?”

“Yes, well he was supposed to collect these from me, but I didn’t know he was sending you to get them,” she replied uncertainly, “the box is quite heavy, are you sure you’ll be able to carry them? I would help, but I’m supposed to be…”

‘No no, it’s fine, you can go, I’ll be fine” I cut her off, knowing that a grumpy Eric would be waiting for me downstairs. She smiled with a slight sign of relief and headed down the stairs. 

I motioned towards the box and tried to lift it. Wow. It was real heavy. Thanks Eric. There was no way I was going to be able to get this huge box back to his office in less than 2 minutes. So I didn’t even bother trying. It was nice to finally be able to not obey Eric without fearing the consequences.

After what felt like an eternity, I dropped the box of who-knows-what in front of Eric and collapsed onto the floor again.

“I thought I asked for it in 5 minutes. Not 25.” He stood up and walked over to me with a disapproving look.

“Well, I’m so sorry,” I snapped back at him. “What in the world is in this box?”

“None of your business.” He turned back to his desk. “Get up, you have things to do.”

At first I was surprised. He let it go that easily? I was sure nothing good was going to come out of this.

I pushed myself up and sat on his desk as he turned around to reach something behind his desk.

‘Get off my desk.” He said turning around and handing me a large stack of papers in a cream colored folder.

I slid off to grab the folder, but not before eyeing him with a look of defiance and rebelliance that I knew he would hate. And I was right. The moment he realized I was messing with him on purpose, he seemed to snap. I smiled. But not for long.

“File these in alphabetical order,” he ordered. “And you’re not leaving until you’re finished and I’m happy.”

Before I could say another word, he huffed and walked right out of the office, leaving me utterly confused, tired and speechless all at the same time.

When love isn't enough:Never ending danger

I feel an intense burning sensation and attempt to open my eyes. However the light is blinding so I let them slip back shut. The lights are dimmed, I can tell because it goes from bright red to a dull red behind my eyelids. I push my eyes back open as I feel a hand slip into mine. I’m trying to get my eyes to focus as I realize silver ones are starring back at me. His face is still swollen but the color has gone from black and blue to green and yellow.

“How are you feeling?” his voice sounds strained and tired. I can tell he’s uncomfortable sitting in that chair.

“How long have I been here?” I try to sit up but the burn and pull in my chest is just to much. “No no no, Leci lay back down,"he gently pushes on my shoulder. But I scrunch my nose in realization that he just used my nickname. "What? Why are you making that face?” he looks like he’s trying to figure out a puzzle. “Eric you just called me Leci.” he rolls is eyes as I narrow mine. “So. That is what your mother, Max and a few of your friends call you is it not.”

“I don’t have friends. Where is my mother? How long have I been here?” I wince as my pain level increased.

“She had to work. You’ve been here almost forty-eight hours. Do you want me to get the nurse to give you something for pain?” I just nod my head. The nurse comes in and goes to reach over me but pauses and turns around. “Face the door for a moment please,” Eric gives gives her a signature glare bur complies anyway. She unties the strings at the top of my gown and pulls it back to check the stiches. “Looks good. You got lucky she had a shitty aim and poor arm strength. You can turn back around nose,” Eric scoffed with an attitude returning to his seat. “I’ll give you a shot for pain. The healing serum is moving your healing process along nicely. You can probably be released tomorrow. ” she shot the pain meds into my IV and walked out.

“Do you remember what happened?” he had a troubled look in his eyes. “Vaguely. I went to the roof after the nurse made me leave your room. I wanted to get some air. Red’s crazy ass stabbed me. I heard people shouting and that’s it.” I shuttered at the memory. “She tried to throw you off the roof. By sheer luck some Dauntless born came out af the same time. They barely managed to grab you and detain her while finding help.” you could see the anger rolling off of him. “They made her Factionless. She’s gone. I wanted to kill her but they wouldn’t let me,” he had a far off look to him.

“Eric. Hey it’s ok. I’m going to be fine,"he looked at me like I lost my mind. "It’s not alright. Nothing is alright. The Stiff damn near beat me to death, took the number one rank. That bitch almost killed you. She would have succeeded. How is any of that alright. I would have lost my damn mind, I did almost loose my mind,” his voice cracked as he spoke his last few words. “Would you just please lay down with me?” his eyes instantly softened.

Carefully he layed down on the bed and put his head next to mine. We just starred intently into each others eyes for a few moments. He finally leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. “Go back to sleep. I promise I’m not going anywhere. ” that made me feel a little safer. I let my eyes slip shut while he ran his fingers gingerly up and down my arm.

Three days later I was home and it was visting day. Thankfully my mother was at work when the front door flew open and Eric barged in dragging Audrianna behind him. He looked like he seen a ghost. “I need to leave her here with you. Jeanine just showed up and Audi isn’t suppose to know I’m in Dauntless.” they both looked panicked and desperate.

“Of course she can stay here. What the hell is Jeanine doing here?” I really was starting to want to shoot her myself.

“I don’t know. But I have to go. I’ll be back as soon as it’s safe” he kissed his sister on the head and quickly did the same to me before running out the door. “Oh my lord Aleisia are you alright? Eric told me some crazy girl stabbed you,” she hugged me gently and sat down next to me. “I’m fine. It’s the nightmares that get to me. Why aren’t you suppose to know Eric is in Dauntless? Did Jeanine follow you?” always more questions than answers. “Eric should be the one to tell you that. But no I don’t think she followed me.”

“He never tells me anything. I want to kick his ass more often than not.” her face broke into a smile. “You should kick his ass. I’m glad you talked to him. Has he gotten any better?” I chuckled darkly and rolled my eyes. “Define better.” at this she just shook her head. “I hoped being here with you and away from her things would change.” she sounded disappointed.

Hours later I woke up to being softly shook and Eric saying my name. I looked at the clock then a the sleeping girl next to me. “What happened? What took you so long,” he looked pale and worn out.

“ I am going to need your help. Erudite isn’t safe for her anymore. I got ahold of an old friend in Amity. I can’t move her until tomorrow night. Will she be alright herw?’ he was a cross between furious and nervous. "Of course she can. What the fuck is going on.? I want to tell me the TRUTH.” I was done being left in the dark. “I will tomorrow. Can you just trust me for tonight? Please, ” I could see the internal struggle. “Fine. Tomorrow. Are you going back to the dorm tonight?” he shook his head.

“I’m going to sleep on your floor. I’ll sneak back into the doorm before six. Thank you. For helping and for trusting me.” he kissed my forehead before making a spot on the floor for himself.

What the hell have I gotten involved in? Again.

When love isn't enough: Mental scares

When I woke up the next morning he was already gone. A note was on my nightstand. It was simple and to the point. Thank you E.

It drove me wild the way he could mess with my emotions without even trying. I only had more questions and still no answers. Why and how did Jeanine have so much control over him. I intend to find out one way or another.

I had stayed away from training except to do set ups, but today I couldn’t manage to stay away. I seen the fights get posted for today and the last fight of the day was Eric vs. Four. The name Tobias was now going by, he only had four fears. That was unheard of even by Dauntless standards.

I looking back at it now I really just wish I would have stayed away. The events that would play out today would haunt me for years to come and eventually end up in my own fear SIMS next year. But the temptation was just too strong.

As of this morning both Eric and Four where undefeated in their fights. Eric was number one rank on the board. So pairing them was a battle that promised to be the most epic in Dauntless history.

The early fights where boring. I decided to go throw knives for something to do. Of course Red spotting me noticed everyone was concentrating on the fights. She posted up next to me with intentions of showing me up. That was her first mistake. I had been training to throw knives since I was three. It had been my dads specialty.

She threw her four knives and only two even stuck. The other two barely hit the target on the inside. I smiled at her and threw mine. Of course all mine stuck. The head, kidney, hand and calf. A perfect score. Feeling accomplished I went to retrieve my knives. A woosh of air blew past my head as a knife hit the board and clattered to the floor. I turned to look behind me and red looked pleased as punch. Needless to say red didn’t even begin to explain the fury that passed over my eyes

“You fucking bitch,” I jumped the table hell bound on handing her her ass again. Of course until large arms picked me up in a bone crushing bearhug.

“Eric put me down!! This bitch just doesn’t learn, ” I strained against him trying to get him to release me. It was pointless. In the mean time she thought it was a good idea to come charge at me. Cowardly bitch. However Zeke got to her first. Placing her in a move called a chicken wing. Her screams of pain had gained everyone’s attention.

“Again? What the hell happened now,” Amar shouted. Eric answered first.

“Amanda threw a knife at Aleisia while she was at the board retrieving her own set,” he snarled giving her a death glare all while still holding on to me.

“Then the crazy bitch charged her after Eric had her restrained.” Zeke added while applying more pressure to the struggling psycho. “That’s it. Take her to Max Gage. I’ve had enough of her crazy antics. Let him know this is the fourth time trying to injure or provoke someone.” “Let’s break for lunch people. See you back in an hour. After the last two fights you will be done for the day.”

I sat with Zeke, Shauna, Four, Tank, Ashley and Eric. It suprised me a little that Eric actually hung out with this group. Apparently it was only at meal times. Of course because I sat there today the tension was thick enough to slice with a knife. I had decided to head back to the training room early. The animosity brewing between the men who both seemed to fight for my attention was making me uncomfortable. I heard heavy footsteps behind me and turned around just in time to see Eric lunge for me to pull me into the dark corridor. He had a bad habit of doing that. “Can I have a kiss for good luck?” he purred in my ear while kissing it.

“Are you sure it will bring you luck? As much as I hate you sometimes it might have the opposite effect.” he jusr chuckled into my neck as I spoke. “Nope. I want kiss. It will stroke my ego just right,” he continued his assult on my neck. No matter how hard I tried it still never failed to take my breath away when he kissed anywhere on me. He knew how to push my buttons by playing on teenage hormones. He leaned back and looked at me with hooded eyes and slowly leaned in for a kiss. The minute his lips touched mine it was like a spark of electricity. Without my consent my hands moved on their own to grip in his hair. I felt myself lean in and allow him to deepen the kiss. When I started to feel warmth pool in my stomach I knew it was time to stop. “Hmm Eric you need to stop and take your ass to the training room.” I panted as I slowly pushed him back. With a small growl he pecked my lips again and abruptly exited back to the hall.

Finally the fight everyone had been waiting for. I made my way next to Zeke as they removed their boots to step onto the mat. “Which one of your boyfriend’s do you think is going to win?” Zeke wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. “Are you even supposed to be in here?” I rolled my eyes at him. “No. I snuck in. We had SIMS today and I did mine before lunch. I wasn’t going to miss this shit.” he had that excited look Dauntless men get before a good pair of fights. Typical. Amar shouted begin and all eyes turned to the mat. At first Eric had the upper hand. But a few moves in Eric taunted Four with words only he could here. Suddenly Four’s eyes glazed over and it was like he was possessed by the devil himself. He body slammed Eric to the ground and proceeded to pummel his face. Even after Eric tapped out and lost consciousness Four didn’t stop.

“Tobias STOP!! Your going to kill him!!’ I started to make my way up to the ring.

Both Gage and Amar where up on the mat struggling to pull him off of Eric’s motionless body. Suddenly it was if he finally returned to reality and looked down at what he had done in shock. I stood next to my uncle while he checked for Eric’s pulse. "It’s faint but it’s there. Gage help me get him on the back board.” Zeke and a boy named Eddie helped to lift the back board to hurry to the infirmary. I turned to look at Tobias before I headed to the infirmary. “I, I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to. I just, just, ” I could tell he had frightened himself. I never thought sweet, gentle Tobias was capable of almost beating someone to death. Eventually down the road it would be determined PTSD from years of Marcus beating him triggered his black out rage.

When I got to the infirmary they had Eric stablized and let me in to see him. His right eye was complete swollen shut. His face was black and blue and unrecognizable. Two broken ribs and one of his teeth was knocked out.

I sat down by him and grabbed his hand and started rubbing it. To see him beat up and helpless like this broke my heart. After a few minutes the nurse kicked me out and told me to come back tomorrow. I decided to head to the roof to clear my head. I was so deep in thought I never heard the roof door open. “Pay back is bitch isn’t?” I turned just in time to see the knife Red was swinging get plunged into my chest. A blood curdling scream escaped my lips as my vision started to blur from the white hot pain erupting in my chest. I felt my body starting to go backwards over the ledge. At the time I wasn’t sure who grabbed me a pulled me back over just before the point of no return. I vaguely heard shouting and someone calling my name before the darkness consumed me.

When love isn't enough:Face your fears

I was pleased when the next week or so went without too much fanfare. Just like he had back in Erudite, Eric had backed off slightly. Even though I seen him everyday now that he was in Dauntless for the most part he ignored me. Of course I knew eventually all good things must come to an end.

I had seen him off in a dark corridor with one of the local Dauntless whores sucking his face damn near off. I just laughed. Hope he wasn’t trying to make me jealous. When he seen me out of the corner of his eye he all but dropped on the floor and marched off in the other direction.

It was quieter this year than previous initiations. I think that doing hand to hand and SIMS at the same time just exhausted them. It didn’t stop Red from glaring at me and stalking me. I knew she was just waiting.

Tobias and Eric where at the top of the ranks. It changed almost daily who was first and who was second. They where even out ranking the Dauntless born. Amar was pleased. He was also pleased that they didn’t seem to let the dislike for each other or keeping tabs on me hadn’t effected their training since the first day. It helped that other than doing set up I tried to stay away.

I suddenly felt the bed dip while I was sleeping and a large heavy arm around my waist. I should’ve been scared shitless but I guess I was expecting it. With no energy to move I just grumbled at him. “Eric what are doing here?” he didn’t answer and I was suddenly aware he was trembling. “Eric what’s wrong,” I turned to look at him. He had an absolute look of terror on his face. This is not good. “Eric what’s wrong? What happened?” I was starting to get nervous. He finally looked up at me. “She killed you both,” he whispered. “Who killed us both? Who’s both?” this was getting stranger by the second. “Jeanine. She killed you and Audrianna. It was in my SIM today. I just had a nightmare about it.” he looked absolutely miserable. I wondered what the hell control Jeanine exactly had over him that caused him to have this fear. I’m not sure what possessed me to do it, but I found myself running my fingers threw his hair. His eyes slipped shut and some of the tension seemed to slip away. He moved his head from the pillow to my chest and squeezed me a little tighter. “Please let me stay with you tonight. I promise I just want to sleep. Just feel you next to me.” I could tell he was listening to my heart beat. “Don’t make me regret it,” I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. He didn’t scare easy and he was genuinely terrified. “I promise.” he placed a kiss on my collarbone where his head lied and almost instantly fell asleep. I actually found myself being comfortable wrapped up in his arms. He almost looked child like peacefully sleeping. He never seemed to amaze me at how quickly he swayed my emotions one way or the other.

When love isn't enough:It's complicated

This was not how I seen life going. After the choosing ceremony I wasn’t supposed to see either of them again. Life was supposed to go back to normal. Instead they both show up in Dauntless and make life more complicated.

Instead of going home like I was supposed to I decided to go sit by the chasm. The sounded of the rushing water had a calming effect to it. Not knowing how much time had went by I was torn from my thoughts when a hand touched my shoulder.

“I hear you have been the topic of the day. That’s so unlike you. Do I need to swoop in and save you?”

He chuckled shaking his head. I hadn’t seen Kendrick in over seven months. When he switched out to fence duty he was gone more than he wasn’t. I covered my face with my hands then took a deep breath.

“Nope. Just need to never leave my home again. Or get someone to approve a dependent for fence duty,” it almost sounded like a plan. Almost.

“Naw sweetie, the fence is no place for you. Ryan would be pissed. Probably sneak back from Candor just to kick your ass,” he had a playful grin and joking tone, however I knew he was serious.

Kendrick had been my brother’s best friend. When Ryan left for Candor we had started dating. More out of grief than anything. After six months I realized he wasn’t what I really wanted and he would never be able to replace my brother.

“You could always tell those transfers you’re already spoken for, ” a hopeful tone in his voice.

“Oh you would like that wouldn’t you. Sorry but we both know that ship sailed along time ago,” I tried to keep the disdain out of my voice. The look on his face said I wasn’t successful.

“I would give up anything to change that. I know I can’t though. Just becarful. I only want to see you find some happiness again. I’m not sure you’ll find it where you’re looking.”

“I’m not looking anywhere. Shit just seems to find me lately,” I snapped.

“Look I’ll be on my way. Just remember if you need anything you know where to find. Just be safe. Sounds like you stepped in the snake pit,” I didn’t like his insinuating tone.

“I will keep that in mind. However I would not hold my breath if I was you.” I sure as hell didn’t need his help for anything.

“Good luck Leci. Hope you don’t end up in the bottom of the chasm.” he had an ominous tonw to his voice.

“What the fuck is that suppose to mean?” now I was getting pissed. He looked behind me then turned and stalked off in the direction of the pit.

“How do you know Kendrick?” I turned to look at Eric and wrinkled my nose in confusion.

“He was friends with my older brother, we grew up together. How the hell do you know him?”

“We have a mutual associate. He’s not someone you want to put your trust in.” that made me laugh.

“Oh because you are? That’s kind of calling the kettle black.” I rolled my eyes and stood up to leave. He grabbed my arm lightly and pulled me back to him.

“Aren’t you suppose to be at home? Amar is looking for you.” I whirled around with purpose. I had just about enough of him for the day.

“You know this isn’t how it was suppose to go. You were going to have your psychotic ass back in Erudite reigning supreme over your kingdom. I wasn’t going to have to tolerate your delusions ever again,” the tears started to sting my eyes.

He grabbed me and pulled me to his chest. Rubbing his hands gently up and down my back and nuzzling his head in my hair. For a moment I almost forgot I didn’t want him near me. Then he opened his mouth and ruined it.

“Aleisia you are meant to be mine. Stop fighting it,” he kissed my ear as he spoke. I got my sense back and pushed him back.

“Is my life a fucking game to you? Pursue the one thing you can’t have until you can break me! Then once you’ve won toss me aside like all of those who have come before me! Just leave me alone.” I tried to walk away but he grabbed my hair and yanked me back again.

“The only person making a game out of this is you. But trust me when I say that I will win. I will never be letting you go. You have managed to get inside my head and consume me like nothing ever has before. Stop making this so fucking complicated,” his voice was a growl in my ear.

“Fuck you Eric! Stay away from me,” I struggled to get away again, this time he let me go. When I turned around I seen why. Max was heading towards from across the chasm.

I turned back around to give him another piece of my mind but he was already retreating into the shadows down the corridor.

“Aleisia my dear we have been looking for you. Seems you have been a bad girl today,” there was a hint of amusement in Max’s voice.

“I’m sorry sir. It won’t happen again.”

“You are one of the few dependents I usually don’t have any problems with. What changed when the transfers arrived?” he almost sounded amused.

“Idiots. That’s what happened. If Red or whatever her name is wouldn’t have had the audacity to talk to me like she lost her mind everything would’ve been fine,” I huffed in annoyance.

“Seems the male initiates have taken s shine to you but the females are all jealous of you. I shouldn’t tell you this but I am damn proud you knocked her out. You are going to be a fantastic asset to Dauntless next year. However you are still a dependent. I can’t have you fighting members or initiates. You are going to help unload our two supply trucks this week as your punishment.”

I just blew out a frustrated breath. I guess I am lucky all things considered. “Thank you sir. It won’t happen again.”

“I’m sure it won’t. Oh and Aleisia, tred lightly with the Coulter boy. He’s a bit of a wild card” with that he winked at me and left me standing on the bridge.

Frustrated and tired I made my way to the mess hall to grab a tray to go and head home. When I went to leave I noticed three of the female initiates, including red surrounding me. Fucking great.

Thankful before they got to close Amar and Max had appeared out of nowhere. I also noticed both Tobias and Eric as well as Zeke Pedrad standing up from their tables. This is just getting to be enough.

“Ladies, something we can help you with tonight?"Max was not having it.

"Teaching this little girl a lesson. I don’t know who she thought she was,” Red sneered. Oh she didn’t realize who she had just mouthed off to.

“She happens to be one of my most valued dependents. Unless you want to be made Factionless immediately. I suggest the three of you get lost and stay lost,” his voice was caln but ice cold.

“You can’t- ” she really is dense. “I can do whatever I please initiate. I am your leader. Amar, I want her dropped to last rank. Make her earn it.”

All three girls walked away. I knew this was far from over. I seemed to be trapped on the brink of adulthood but yet sounded by teenage drama. I really wished time could just speed up.

“Hello initiate. Could you do me a favor? Would you be kind enough to walk my niece home enlight of the incident today?” Amar was talking to Tobias who was with Zeke. I seen Eric fuming in a corner. I rolled my eyes and started to walk away. Tobias and Zeke quickly flanked my sides.

“Hey Leci!! Killing it without even being an initiate. How have you been?” Zeke always the clown.

“ I have been better to say the least. How’s everyone at your parents?” his mother and mine where friends from growing up Dauntless.

“Good. Hey what do say we all sneak off to the bar after hours tonight? Seems like you could use a drink, the Stiff could use one too,” he cocked his head at Tobias who was rolling his eyes. “We start SIMS tomorrow. Apparently they are taking a new approach this year. SIMS one day, hand to hand the next. I think they are trying to kill us this year.”

“Wonder why they are doing that? It sounds like a terrible idea. As for the bar offer. I’m not really feeling it tonight. But Saturday maybe?” it really did want to let loose, just not tonight.

“Sure, sure. You know I’m allays game.”

We had arrived at my door. It had been a long damn day. I just wanted to take a hot shower and go to bed. Hopefully no unwanted late night visits

“Thanks guys. I think I am just going to lay low tomorrow but I’ll see you soon.” I gave them each a hug good bye.

I was really wanting all of this drama to go away. Damn him. If he wouldn’t came here my life would still be uncomplicated and drama free.
