Divergent - The Serum
He stood over the bed, gun in hand. Watching her. The serum had been activated. Being high up in Dauntless leadership, Eric a avoided the dose of serum. He avoided it's control. It was making him an army. Jeanine's army. Eurodite's army. To take out the corruption that was Abnegation in search of the final puzzle piece. The message from the founders that would tell them just how to solve the divergent problem.
The problem at hand was of the same kind. Laying in the bed, curvatious beneath the sheets was a divergent sleeping sound as those who were not became the drones needed. Eric knew what had to be done. He had to kill her. In the time passing quickly he had tried to will himself to pull the trigger, but he couldn't. Eric loved her. He loved the very thing he hated: her selflessness, bravery, honesty, kindness and intelligence.
Her divergence.
Rough hands took hold of her strong shoulders. Gentle shakes pulling her from her sleeping state. Bright eyes took the room into focus, settling on the face of her partner. His expeession, scared. This alone was enough to scare herself. It was a rarity for Eric to display his fear, his weakness.
With the sheets draped over her form she got up onto her knees, taking his face into her hands. Gentle hands moved over his cheeks in a smooth cares. An act too kind in the eyes of the Dauntless leader.
"You need to leave," His words were stiff, choked out in attempt to hide the pain that dwelled in his chest. He watched at her features softened into confusion. A frustrated huff eacaped his lips before he drew his gun, pointing it between her watering eyes."If I ever see you again, you wont be this lucky." Eric then fell into an eased state, lowering his weapon. Letting the woman he loved, the divergent, get away in his own act of selflessness.
