First shot at an EricXTris fanfic.

We'll def see a softer side of Eric, and a slightly/Suggestive abusive Four

This chap mentions Abuse and Rape! Proceed with caution!

Tris's Prov:

I was knocking on Eric's leadership room's door. "Come in." He said, as I opened the door. I had been a leader for a little over a week, now and had become very close with Eric. He wasn't as hateful and evil as he was during initiation.

"Tris. Whats wrong? Where did that bruise come from?" He asked, Getting up and coming over to me. "Do I even have to say his name?" I asked, as he touched my cheek. He knew things were... well rocky with me and my boyfriend Four, and knew he sometimes smacked me. "What happened?" He asked, looking at the bruise, and inspecting it.

"He accused me of working to much, and not spending enough time with him. Um Hello?! I leave early almost everyday on command, and he has the nerve to say that to me. When I pointed it out to me he got angry and told me to shut up and then he smacked me, hard enough to make me pass out... which is why I'm just getting here... He was gone when I came too so I came right here. I can't go back there Eric... I Can't... I don't feel safe there..." I confessed.

"You're never going back there. I promise. You're gonna stay in my apartment." Eric promised before continuing "I'm gonna go talk, to him and get you're stuff." I said "Are you sure? I mean... If he knows I told... No I'll go... Just... um... Stay close, just in case you have to break up a fight..." Eric smiled a bit and said "whatever you need." We headed to Fours apartment, I told him to stay where he could hear us, but out of sight. We agreed that the word I'd use if needed would be Peaches. I walked in, and was packing my bag. Four came over, "Where do you think your going?!" He yelled. I knew Eric was listening.

"I'm leaving! You never appreciate anything I do! You've turned into your father, and I won't have you being an ass to me any longer." I said, picking up my now full bag. "You're not going anywhere." He said as he raised his hand balling it into a fist. I tried to yell out peaches, but as I did Four's fist connected to my body and knocked me unconscious.

Eric's prov:

Four wasn't gonna get away with this, I heard a forceful punch, I waited a brief second hoping to hear Tris's beautiful voice yell peaches, But it didn't come. I darted in but Four was already raping her, probably just finishing. I flung at him, pulling him off her. "WHAT THE HELL COULTER?!" He yelled. I stood between him and Tris, He said "You're fucking her behind my back!?" I said "NO! I'm protecting her from the monster you've become!" I quickly got some clothes on her, before picking her up, and placing her bag on my back. "You're gonna stay away from her, until I say otherwise. You can only talk to her, if I am present."

I took her to the nurses, who got her back immediately. "What happened?" She asked me. "She was beaten by her ex boyfriend, I don't know for how long, I only just discovered a few weeks ago... She went to break it off with him, I was in ear shot. I heard a forceful blow... I waited to see if she'd call out peaches, that was our safe word. One she'd use if she needed back up. She was passed out when I got in, and her ex was raping her... He had just finished by the time I showed up. I Pulled him off her..." I was breathing hard, almost going into a panic attack.

"Eric. Calm down." Marlene said, She chose the nursing area after initiation. "We're gonna run some tests... and since she was raped, we need to give her a rape test... and if you're worried about her getting pregnant, we can give her some meds to help prevent it... but they're not guaranteed..." I looked to her. "I can't make the decision about the pregnancy medicine the one to prevent it... That has to be her choice... But Do the rest. Please.."

I stayed beside her for the whole day. "Eric... Peaches..." I heard her mumble. "Ssh. Tris, no need for back up. Open you're eyes and look to me. I'll explain." I whispered, caressing her cheek. She woke immediately. "What happened? Where am I?" She asked, her eyes locking on mine.

"You're at the nurses... I heard Four Punch you... I waited... to hear if you would call peaches... I... You were passed out by the time I got in there... and Four... raped you... He... He finished, inside you, it was more than you could hold, so it leaked out when I forced him off you... I got you dressed and brought you here... Maybe close to three hours ago now... Look, Tris... I know, You're vulnerable and probably not wanting to be in a relationship right now, But we've been friends for a while... and I need you to know, I love you. I swear on my life that asshole isn't coming near you ever again. Not without me near. I'm gonna be here, forever, no matter what happens. I swear if you give me a chance, I'll prove to you how much I love you and want to protect you from everything."

I saw Tris's eyes fill with tears, although I wasn't sure which they were. "Eric... I love you too. More than anything." I kissed her head, and said "Rest now. You need you're sleep. I'll be here when you wake." I whispered, to her moving carefully so I was on the bed beside her. She immediately cuddled up into me. "I wanna see where we go... You're the only guy I want. You're the only one I feel safe with." She mumbled, falling asleep upon my chest, allowing me to hold her.
