Bye Bye for now my Darlings!
Chapter 8: Midnight Encounters
TRIS'S POV
~It had been a little while since we played Capture the Flag, and may I just say. I was not expecting Eric to come that close to me. And obviously I enjoyed it. But the only downside is over the last few months, we had both become to busy to really see each other let alone talk about what happened. I just really hope we can considering he probably was going to kiss me. But of course I had to ruin it. Dammit old self why?!
"Tris!" My now, best friend Christina called pulling me out of my thoughts, "We got to go. They're about to announce the final leaderboard for stage one."
"Shit, I forgot about that. " I up from my bed and followed Christina out of the common area.
~As we made our way around the last corner I ran straight into a stone wall. When I looked up it was in fact into striking cold grey eyes.
"Better watch where you going Into are, not paying attention can get you in to trouble." He said with a smirk I've grown to really enjoy.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind" I returned the smirk and walked away with Christina purposely swaying my hips. "Damn girl! What did I just witness?" She said shocked. "Since when were you Eric so...Whatever the hell that was?" I just laughed at her reaction. ~ TIME JUMP~ We had gotten just in time to see the leaderboard, Christina in 6th and I in 2nd. Just between Edward and Peter, which earned me a glare from his cold hard eyes. What the fuck is his problem? By now I was headed back to the common area alone because Christina stayed back in the pit to be with Will. When turn the corner to the chasm, I felt two set of massive rough hands grab me one of them went to cover my face to prevent me from screaming while the rest picked me up and carried me towards the Chasm. I tried with all of my might kicking and throwing my arms and legs to try and get of the strong arms. I opted for biting the hand covering my face which a manly Shrek and a loud "FUCK!" I immediately recognized Peter's cry. Out of nowhere I was dropped roughly on the ground and heard what sounded like punches being thrown and the cries following the sound of bones breaking and cracking. Unsure of what to do I simply just curled up against the wall trying to shrink myself down as much as I could. When the sounds of fighting stopped I felt the presence of some walking over to me and crouching down to me. "Tris?" I heard the voice asked filled with concern. It was Eric. When his hand tried to touch me I regretfully flinched away. "Hey it's only me, I'm not going to hurt you. Let me help you." I felt my self getting picked up with ease. Absent mindedly I curls into his hard chest taking his wonderful scent. I was instantly comforted by it. "Don't worry kid I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. Not while I'm around." And with that he kissed my forehead and I let myself close my eyes letting my exhaustion take over.
Thank you Eric.
