POV Tris
After I walked out of the cafeteria, Eric grabbed me by the arm. He drags me across the Pit, towards the apartments. After about 5 minuets of this I dig my heels into the ground and tear my arm out of his grasp.
"Tell me where we're going!" I demand, using the most intimidating voice I can muster. He just snickers, "It doesn't matter, you go where I tell you to go."
"And what on Earth makes you think I'd do that?"
He leans in close to me, putting his mouth near my ear, "Because, I have control over you. I am a leader therefore I determine the rankings. That means you. And all your little initiate friends. Along with that, I have power. Power to do what I want and get away with it. Remember that." Everything he says is soft and fast, I'm barely able to comprehend it. What's bad about what he said is that none of that was a bluff; all of that was completely true.
He pulls on my arm but doesn't have as good of a hold on it. I pull it out of his grip but keep walking with him. I'm nervous and a little scared.
He walks into an apartment and tells me to get in. I walk in and look around at the mess littering the ground. Beer and countless other alcoholic beverages sit empty on the ground giving the place a pungent sour smell that makes my nose wrinkle. Eric notices my face and smirks, "Like the view?" he says sarcastically.
I choose not to respond. He goes to his mini fridge and gets a beer, and pops it open easily.
"Okay so here's why your here. Everything about you screams divergent." My mouth falls open and my stomach does flips. A terrible, shocked feeling rolls through me. "And I was given the instructions to find and deliver the divergent to the Euridite compound." I'm screwed. "However, I never have liked Jeanine or any of those smart-asses, so I will help. I'll show the simulations to her but I won't verify that you are divergent. And don't deny it I know you are."
I stare open mouthed at him. Words don't come to me. So many feelings take the place of words: shocked, terrified, grateful, doubt full and many others that are indescribable. "Why- how... what, uhg- whats.. in it for you?" I ask, unable to form words.
"Well what's in it for me is you- and any other divergent- are in my debt. They have to do something for me in return, if not I could easily kill them, and you, myself, or hand you over to the Euridte to be experimented on. You are now at my mercy."
That is pretty Eurdite of him. Which is ironic because he is acting Euridite by betraying them. I remain silent, I have nothing to say.
"So, what I want you to do is be my little girlfriend."
What the HECK? "What? Why?"
"Because I am completely aware of Four's feelings for you. Me taking you from him, and you not wanting him, will break him. Plus it'll be fun. I can do whatever I want with you. But don't get confused. I'm you have no say in the matter, like you might with other relationships, you do everything I want when I want it done, no questions asked. Got it?"
I guess I wait to long to answer because Eric talks before I do. "And just to remind you, I am in the position to knock you- and your friends- out of Dauntless. In several ways might I add."
I gulp. I don't want to be cowardly but I can't risk my friends getting kicked out of Dauntless. "I understand." I mumble.
"Good. Now, we have to make it look like we are a couple, especially in front of Four."
I am about to protest but the look in his eyes are like reflections of all the pain he could inflict on my friends. So I just nod and follow him out.
The rest of the day way completely and utterly terrible. Eric took me around the whole compound, making it known that we are a 'thing'. He took me to clothing shops making it look like we were hanging out and enjoying ourselves. He took me to the tattoo shop and made me hold his disgusting hand as he got a tattoo. He even made me go to the bar with him- that was the worst part. Guys were all over me and Eric made sure that I didn't do anything about it, he kept sending me the ' remember how much power I have that you don't?' look. He sure plays his role as boyfriend well.
As he walks me back to the dorms we cross Four. He's about to say something when he sees my hand in Eric's. I try to send him a I'm so sorry, this is all an act look, but I doubt it gets across. Four's eyes have barley meet mine by the time Eric looks at me, so I have to clear my face of emotions.
"Do you need something, Four?" Eric asks. "No." He responds without emotion.
Suddenly Eric leans over and kisses me, smack on the mouth. It's all I can do not to gag. I see Four doesn't look happy about this either. "I'll be leaving now." He says, his muscles wound up like a spring. I stare after him after he disappears.
"You need to get better at that." Eric states. "What?" I ask, actually confused.
"Kissing me, and acting too." I'm disgusted, he want me to kiss him better? What the hell, I'm infuriated that he wants me to kiss him at all, much less kiss him well. I just snort, "Yeah right." I go into the dorm rooms before he can say anything else.
