A/N- Yay! Thank you KittyHuntress for adding me as one of your favourite authors! Steph is mean enough not to :p. Anyways thanks for all the wonderful reviews! I can't believe I have this many! Without further ado, chapter 7!
I don't own Divergent, but I own a cool laptop to write a story based (kinda) on it!
Eric's POV
When I make it back to the Dauntless compound, I notice the dried blood on my hands from my wall attack, so I cut through the Pit to go clean it up.
Haven't I had enough for one day? I ask myself. I keep to the outside so I can watch Four, obviously drunk, talking to Tris. Today truly sucks.
I hurry on to my room and after my hands are all clean and bandaged I just lie down and try to sleep. But unfortunately, I can't help thinking ask questions about the things that happened today.
Is Tris Divergent? Does she like Four? Why did Jeanine get my father to be in the room for our meeting? What is his problem?
I have one last thought before I finally fall asleep, why do I like Tris so much?
Next Day
I've been dreading this all day. It's Tris' turn for the fear simulation again.
I sit and watch her in a tank and I'm in a sea of other people so I'm not noticed. Four steps forward and points to Tris' feet where there's water accumulating.
She bangs on the tank asking for us to let her out but to no avail. She continues to do this until she floats to the ceiling where she breathes in as much air as she can. And then she's submerged.
She starts thrashing around and cracks the tank. Wait, what? She keeps hitting it and finally pushes it until it completely breaks and she's out of the tank.
The simulation's over and I've found one answer to one of my many questions. Tris is Divergent.
Four yells at her and then finally pushes Tris out of the room and moves on to the next initiate.
I leave the little room I was in and catch up to Tris. I grab her wrist and pull her into the nearest (and empty, thank god) hallway.
"What?" Tris asks.
"You're Divergent, but I'm pretty sure Four's yelling covered that. You can't let anyone figure out got it?" I don't know why but I don't want Jeanine to find out about Tris.
She just nods but in a confused voice asks me, "Why do you care?"
I sigh. "I don't know. Normally, based on what I've heard from the other Dauntless leaders, if they find someone Divergent they arrange for an accident to happen." She starts to say something, probably asking why, but I cut her off. "I don't know why, all I know is that they do and I don't want that to happen to you."
She just stares at me for a moment than asks in such a quiet voice I almost don't hear her, "Are you..." her voice trails off and she stares at me intently. Waiting.
I sigh again, do I tell her? Or do I keep it secret like I have been for the past two years? "Yeah, I am. I'm just good at hiding it, which I suggest you learn how to do soon."
"What were your results?"
"What does it matter?"Why is she asking me these questions? Huh, I bet one of her aptitudes were for Erudite.
"I guess it doesn't. I just..." She covers her face with her hands like she was going to cry, which doesn't seem all that Tris-like. But she takes them away. "This doesn't make sense."
"It's a lot to take in and I'll leave you alone now. Just remember what I said."
I turn to leave but she calls me back. So I turn around and am completely caught off guard when Tris, the same Tris who only did what I asked when her friends lives were on the line, the same Tris who seems obviously afraid of me, she is the same Tris that kisses me now.
A/N- AHHHH! I'm evil, I know. I'm told on a daily basis :p. But tell me what you think! Love it? Hate it? I WANT TO KNOW! For the next chapter I'm thinking of doing some more Tris POV, so we can see what she was thinking when she kissed the 'evil, sadistic Eric' or just keep it Eric POV. 'Till then, review/favourite/alert read and enjoy! BYE-BYE!
