Hello my devoted darlings!

It's been a weird summer for me and I've been neglecting y'all. So, sorry (?)

Please review!


I rolled over on my back, blinking multiple times. Antiseptic. The back certain separated my bed from the patient wheezing next to me.

"How are you feeling?" I glanced at Tris, hand in hand with Four who was sleeping.

"My head hurts." Tris nodded slowly. "Is he okay? He looks exhausted."

"Tobias hasn't been sleeping well since the fight." I bolted up.

"Shit! How long has it been?" Toby stirred in his chair.

"You missed paint ball." I groaned and fell back, swearing.

"How is this going to affect my ranking?"

"You're middle of the top." I nodded. "I'm sorry." I widened my eyes lightly and examined her face.

"For what?"

"For seeming like an ass." We chuckled before noticing Toby wake up.

"You're up." I nodded. Toby glanced at Tris before whispering something in her ear that lead to her leaving the room. "Shauna did some tests because it wasn't the fight that caused you to pass out."

"So what did cause me to pass out?" I sat up slowly.

"They don't know what it is, but your body is eating itself." I laughed.

"Please." I glanced into his blue eyes, different from my green eyes. They glossed over. "Am I going to die?"

"I don't know. Shauna doesn't know. Nobody knows. We're going to take you over to Erudite to let them do some testing." I huffed. Erudites are not to be trusted.

"Fine. Can I at least continue training?" Four nodded.

"Yes, but, Shauna said that she wants you in here every day afterwards." I nodded.

"Fine. Can I go shower or something?" Oil had caused my scalp to itch and my skin felt itchy.

"Yeah, go for it."


"Hey look who decided to show up!" I shoved Bri slightly to the side before I plopped down at breakfast the next day.

"Sorry I was sick." I coughed into my hand before wiping the blood onto my black leather pants. "I heard y'all went Paint ballin' without me." The Erudite ginger transfer laughed. His name was Nathan.

"Yeah Four won." I smirked. Of course he did. He always did.

"Cool. What are we doing today?"

"Fights." Eric gruffly stated as he walked behind me. "Follow." I wrinkled my nose before standing up and following Eric to the training room. He opened the door for me before letting the door slam behind his stiff body.

"Hi to you too." I mumbled as Eric sat on the metal table.

"Come here." I watched his eyes as he stared at my legs. My goodness he's looking at my bare skin. I felt my skin heat up.

"What?" I let him wrap his arms around my waist.

"Are you alright?" I nodded. I will not tell anyone. Eric gently pulled my head to his. His kisses were growing softer, as were mine. I let my head roll back as he moved down my neck. "You know I don't like it when people lie to me." I laughed.

"Even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't. As far as you are concerned, I'm grand."

"Alexandria," He sighed and trailed his hands up my shirt. "Please?" I kissed his head.

"I'm sorry darling." I moved away from him to sit on the table and then laid my head on his lap.

"Tomorrow's visiting day." I hummed to alert him that I was listening.

"As long as Marcus stays far way, I'll be great." I laid my arms on his lap to prop myself up. "Am I fighting today?" Eric shook his head.

"No. Shauna wouldn't let us and we have an odd number." My stomach clenched as I sat up. "Are you okay?" Eric pressed his hand on my lower back.

"Oh my gosh no." I flew to the bathroom before throwing up everywhere. Eric shifted my hair before rubbing my back. "Sorry." I wiped my mouth with toilet paper before sitting back on my heels.

"Just relax. Do you want gum?" I nodded and chewed it quietly. "Come on, I'll take you back to my room." His arms swept me up into his chest.

"Eric, I can walk." I let my eyes cut into his in my best glare.

"I know stiff, but I don't trust you right now." I closed my eyes as my head lolled against his chest. He may not trust you, but, neither do you.
