A loud beeeeeeeeeeeep echoed through the room not long after we were done eating, making everyone grab their ears. Uriah even stopped complaining about the lack of Dauntless Cake.
"This has been a great success." The leader of Erudite, a sixty-something man, began. "Erudite made great progress today, and all because of Jeanine Prior, age 18. It is because of this that I now name Jeanine the leader-in-training."
There were cheers, and even I clapped. I was truly happy, which was probably why what happened next happened next.
That night, we went back to Dauntless. I suddenly heard a whistle - two high, short calls, and two low short calls, Peter's call for me. I gritted my teeth, and followed him into his dorm.
Suddenly I decided I wasn't about to let this creep control me. I kneed him in the crotch and stole the key from his pocket, unlocking my handcuffs and running out of the room.
From then on, I avoided peter at all costs. Eventually, he got the message and stopped bothering me. I couldn't believe it was so easy to break away from him and what he did to me, but I soon found it wasn't so easy.
I suddenly found myself longing for him. I had broken away, but I wanted more. I wanted, not to be near him, but to get more of what we did together. I had begun to think of it as "what we did together" and not "what he did to me". I began o dive deeper and deeper into a world I shouldn't have... and soon found myself in the clutches of Peter again. However, this time he didn't slam him against a wall. I slammed him.
"What do you want?" He growled when I had him pinned.
"I. Demand. In." I growled. "I'm sorry for leaving you... but I want in."
His hands grabbed my waist and this time I didn't even stop it. His hands went up my shirt to my chest, but I ignored them and just sighed into his lips as they slammed into mine. I fell back into the clutches of Peter, and soon I broke away from him.
"Peter." I said, and I winced at how much passion was in my voice as I said his name. "Not here."
He somehow understood, and carried me to his room. This time there were no chains, no handcuffs, no belts, just love. I didn't even think of Tobias. My thoughts were of the boy in front of me. And sometimes what's in front of you can cloud your mind from what matters.
