"No!" If he hadn't felt sick before he was certainly feeling that way now. He shook his head trying to clear his vision sure he was hallucinating with the force his head had hit the compacted dirt bellow him. Briefly he wondered if his head had landed on a rock, but he knew that not to be true and he knew the hit though hard enough to startle him was hardly worthy of hallucinations. She was real, crouched in front of him she looked unsure half ready to crumble half ready to attack. But god she was beautiful her hair wild the colour of the darkest most decadent chocolate, her lips big red the bottom one was split it looked as though it had been healing but had re opened when she attacked him blood was pooling in the corner of her mouth. He wanted to reach over wipe it away and claim those lips. He'd dreamt of this of her been alive. They'd been his favorite dreams the ones he never wanted to wake up from.
The reality though, that was something totally different. Instead of love and relief he felt little more than anger and betrayal. If she wasn't dead, she hadn't been taken from him – she'd chosen to leave him. He had done nothing but love her, treasure her, support her, follow her stupid fucking rules and let Four live and she had just walked away from him. Part of him wanted to attack her hurt her but he knew what would hurt her more. Killing Four, her other brother. Killing her brother he could kill the both Halston York had transferred to Amity he'd be here somewhere he could kill him too. Growling he pushed himself to his feet and took off the stragglers still running around them so he knew despite it feeling like minutes since she'd taken him down in reality barely seconds had past. Not even bothering to shout back an instruction to detain her he took off sprinting through the woods desperate to catch them. He had to kill Four, had to make her suffer as she had made him suffer.
"ERIC!" He could hear her screaming his name as he took off clearly she'd been expecting him to fight her not run from her. She'd hoped to delay him but as he reached the edge of the woods where the rest of the Dauntless where been held back among the tree's by Four who stood alone firing at them. Four stopped though and the Stiff took over, she was a shit shot and Eric knew it as he made a break from the tree's aiming for Four as he ran for the tracks making a last minute dive in front of the train.
