When we got back to the compound it was early morning so there was absolutely no point in going back to bed. Tammy and I headed to the showers while the rest of the initiates went to get breakfast and I could tell that she wanted to say something about what she witnessed after capture the flag but seemed to be holding her tongue. We got changed and started to head to the mess hall and we passed the other initiates as they headed back to the dorm to have their showers. Tammy was smirking and glancing at me as we walked and eventually it became tiresome.

"Ok, spit it out." I say to her and we both stop and she turns to face me.

"So, you and Eric huh?" She replies with a smirk.

"Yes, what about us?"

"When did it start, how good a kisser is he and how far have you gone?" She asks all at once, I expected this and I didn't hesitate in my well prepared answer.

"The other night by the Chasm, he is a really good kisser, and none of your business." I reply.

"Since you answered the first two I will let the last one slide now I'm hungry, I want food." She says and I can't help but laugh.

"Why thank you dear sister and you are so easily distracted you know that." She grins and we walk through the doors to the mess hall.

We sit down in our usual seats next to Four and Six, they groaned.

"Hiya Four, Six capture the flag was good wasn't it?" I say and Tammy sniggers, the both shoot threatening glares at us, so obviously I continued talking. "How's the chest Four?" I ask and his glare deepens.

"It's better now than it was when you shot me." He replies.

"Did Six kiss it better?" I deadpan and Tammy and I laugh.

"What's so funny?" A deep smooth voice says form behind us and we stop laughing. Tammy and I both turn around and come face to face with Sex on Legs.

"Nothing important." Six say which just makes Eric raise his eyebrow, he turns his attention back to me and I give him a look that says: I'll tell you later.

He nods his head the tiniest bit and sits down across from me and next to Six. His hand is on my leg again but I don't mind. I can see Tammy smirking while looking at her plate and I sigh but continue to eat. When I do look up Four and Eric are talking but Six is looking at me in a weird way.

"Who gave you the hickey?" She asks and I freeze. That's why Tammy is smirking.

"It's not a hickey it's just a bruise." I reply not looking her in the eyes.

"Really, how did you get it?" She questions and I realise Four, Eric and Tammy are now all looking at me.

"Well, last night while we were playing capture the Flag, Tammy and I decided to get a higher vantage point to try and spot your flag but the building we climbed had loose rocks on it and one of them fell off and hit me." I lie, it's believable and I hope that she buys it.

"Well that was unfortunate." She says and I nod my head in agreement. Eric is smirking and his hand reaches higher up my leg. I can feel myself starting to blush and I elbow Tammy, she looks at me and notices my blush and just gets up and drags me with her.

As soon as we are a safe distance from the mess hall I thank her and she tells me that I owe her. I nod my head and we start to walk to the training room. We enter the room and are met by Eric. How did he move so fast? Tammy grins and walks over to the other side of the training room. I walk over to him and he turns to face me.

"So what did you say to Four and Six that makes them want to kill you slowly and painfully?" He asks with his sexy smirk and I grin a little.

"I saved you gorgeous ass from being shot by Four by shooting him a few times in his chest." His smirk widens when I talk about his gorgeous behind. "When I asked him if his chest hurt he said not as much as it did and I may have asked if Six kissed it better." I finish and he lets out a deep laugh.

"She probably did." He says and I laugh with him.

The other initiates start to enter the training room and he pulls me into the shadows, kisses me quickly and then tells me to meet him at the Chasm tonight. I nod and pull his head down to kiss me then walk over to Tammy who may or may not have seen our little exchange. Her mischievous grin makes me believe that she did see but as long as no one else did then mine and Eric's secret is safe.

After training Tammy and I head back to the dorm to get a shower and we head down to the tattoo and piercings shop. We head through to the piercings bit and are met by a tall brown haired guy. He notices are presence and ushers us over to the chairs.

"Names Jake, what can I do for you fine young ladies?" He asks us.

"I'm Dylan and this is my twin Tammy. We both want a tongue piercing."

"Ahh you two are the Amity transfers I have been hearing about." He replies with boyish smile.

Tammy and I grin and he tells one of us to sit in the chair. I go first since Tammy went first last time and after we are both done we pick out a few piercings so that we can change them later. We drop our stuff in the dorm and then head for dinner.

I sit down next to Four and Tammy sits on my other side. We are ignoring Four and Six's presence and they don't seem to mind at all and we just talk to each other about anything and everything. I see three people sit down in the seats in front of Tammy and I know it isn't Eric because the mess hall is still rather noisy. I look up and can see Lachlan smiling at me with Keogh smiling at Tammy and River looking rather bored.

"Gentleman to what do we owe the pleasure?" I say in monotone and Tammy elbows my side and I roll my eyes but put on a smile, I do like Lachlan but since Eric and I 'got together' I would prefer that me liking him to be in a friend way. Lachlan's smile widens, oh no do not ask me out in front of Four and Six.

"Well Keogh wanted to speak to Tammy and I have wanted to ask you something for a while." He says and my grip on the fork in my hand tightens. And to make matters worse Four and Six are now paying special attention to mine and Lachlan's conversation. "Do you want to go out for a drink at this new bar with me tonight?" Shitty shitty bang bang this is not happening. Fuck why couldn't we just be friends? I slap Tammy's leg and she looks at me.

"I would love to go out with you tonight but Tammy and I were just going to relax tonight since we haven't been able to talk as much as usual." I reply and Tammy smirks slightly but Lachlan's smile vanishes as if I took a pin and popped is balloon. "Another time though, yeah?" I say trying to keep away the awkwardness of this conversation. His smile appears again and I internally groan, I should not have said that. Now he thinks he still has a chance. I hate the fucking Amity in me that hates to see people sad.

"Sounds good, see ya later," He says and gets up, "Come on boys." He finishes and the three boys leave the table.

As soon as they are out of sight I let my head fall to the table with a bang and a groan.

"Looks like someone has a not so secret admirer." Four says to me.

"Shut it Number boy." I say as I pull my head up to see Sex on Legs sitting in front of me.

"Who has a not so secret admirer?" Eric asks.

"Dylan." Four replies with a smug smile. Eric freezes but recovers quickly.

"And who might this person be?" He asks.

"Lachlan Adams." Six replies with a smug grin of her own. Eric no longer looks tense but I can see from his eyes a look resembles a Lion that has just seen another lion walk onto his territory, he looks at me and his eyes look almost predatory: it sends shivers down my spine but I can't bring myself to look away.

"Yeah well, I sent him packing?" I say not taking my eyes away from Eric's.

"Why?" Four asks as if he is curious.

"Not my type." I reply.

"What is your type?" Eric asks me and I grin, my hand reaches out and runs down his leg from under the table.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I reply and get up, dragging a grinning Tammy with me.

As soon as we are out of the mess hall I release Tammy from my grasp and she laughs while slapping my back.

"Sister dear, judging from the looks he was giving you, if we had stayed at the table any longer he would have had you. In front of everyone: just to show Lachlan that you were his." She tells me and I can't help but blush.

"I am not his property, and no he wouldn't." I reply trying to glare at her but failing because of my tomato like cheeks.

"Sis, he was looking at you like you were the only person in the room. Honestly his eyes looked almost predatory." She tells me.

"Glad to know I can have that effect on a leader." I smirk and she laughs.

"Let's head back to the dorm since that is where you told lover boy we were going to be." She tells me as she rests an arm on my shoulder. I playfully shrug it off and we head back to the dorm room.

I grab my boots and start to head to the Chasm where Eric told me to meet him. I get to the Chasm and sit in the same place I do every time I come down here. Ten minutes pass and I hear footsteps coming down the hallway but they are not heavy like Eric's. I look up and spot Lachlan walking towards me, he spots me and a grin washes over his face.

"Dylan, how come you are down here at this time of night?" He asks.

"I couldn't sleep so decided to go for a walk." I reply.

"That's cool, mind if I sit with you?" He asks but before I can reply my saviour arrives.

"Initiates, what are you doing out of bed? You know what I don't care. Amity come with me." He says in a cool deadly voice. "Lachlan get back to your dorm."

"How come she has to come with you?" Lachlan complains.

"This is the third time I have caught her out of her dorm after hours so I need to make sure she gets the message; unless you want to come along and get punished as well?" Eric says.

"No sir." Lachlan replies and scurries away from the Chasm.

Eric starts to walk away and I catch up to him.

"You are my guardian angel, I think he was going to try and ask me out again and I don't think I would have the heart to say no to him twice in one day." I tell him. He grins at me and we walk in silence until we come to a black door.

He takes a silver key out of his pocket and unlocks the door, he gestures for me to go in first and I do. I walk into what looks like his apartment and he closes the door behind us. There is a large living area and two doors to my left that I assume are for the bathroom and bedroom. There is a small kitchen that looks untouched and the whole apartment (from what I can see) is sleek and modern with the whole far wall made up of glass. The rooms are blue and black and there is a bookshelf in the far corner. I walk up to the glass wall and look out on to the city; in the far distance I can see the hub and the centre of town. I can feel Eric walk up behind me and his hands wrap around my small waist and he pulls me tightly against him. I can feel his heart beating through our clothes and I find it relaxing as we look out on to the dark city.

"The windows are one way. We can see out but no one can see in." He says, his breath tickling the shell of my ear.

"So if I was to kiss you in front of this window, no one would know." I reply and he nods.

"Really is that all you're going to do?" He says and I turn around to see his sexy smirk plastered on his face.

"For starters." I say and slam my lips against his.

My mouth parts and his tongue slips inside, our mouths move in sync together as if we were made to fit each other.

"You got a tongue piercing?" He moans.

"Yeah. What do you think?" I ask and run the piercing along the back of his teeth. He moans approvingly and his hands are on my waist where my top has rode up so I can feel his warm hands on my skin. My hands are in his hair and I tug slightly and he moans in response. I jump up and wrap my legs around his waist and he grips onto my thighs to stop me from falling to the ground. He starts walking to what I imagine is the bedroom and settles me down on the bed softly.

"Are you sure?" He asks and I sit up, grab his shirt and pull him down on top of me. He must take my actions as a yes and brings our lips against together once again.

I am so sorry that I took so long to add tis chapter but I was having trouble putting my ideas into words. I will try to have the next chapter up soon.

What did you think of this chapter? What do you think is going to happen between Lachlan and Dylan and Keogh and Tammy?

Let me know.

Until next time,
