A/N Thank you for my reviews. I love everyone of them. In this chapter Kaven won't be approached over the legacy of her father but some other person will meet her father's best friend growing up. Tell me if you like my spin on things.


Eric is in his office when Max comes into see him. "Two?" He sits on the other side of the desk. "Do you know what the first one was about?"

Eric does't have to ask what Max is talking about. "With how she acted at seeing it and what I have found in her file. I would say it was her father being killed by Jeanine."

"You would be correct." Max rolls his shoulders.

"You looked into her file as well?" Eric leans back in his chair he can see that Max is deciding whether to tell him something.

"I didn't need to. I knew Alec. He was my best friend growing up." Max rubs at the back of his neck.

"Did he ever bring her here?" Eric tried to wrap his head around Max knowing Jeanine's late husband.

"No, but we met up a few times so that I could see the little girl. She was still a baby at the time." Max shakes his head. "I knew Jeanine would be problems but I never thought she would kill him. But knowing now what she was planning on having us do. Nothing surprises me anymore."

"Not even that I saw Four inject her twice with the serum?" Eric asks with real interest.

"Do you know why?"

"No, he still doesn't trust me."

"Its been years since the accident and you didn't inject anyone with the simulation serum. You dyed a vitamin serum the color of her serum and injected those." Frustration colors Max's voice.

"He still can't get over me having him throw knifes at Tris and hanging Christina over the Chasm. Its not like any of them would have died." Eric says with a bored tone.

"Get close to her and find out what we can and if we can trust her. Don't hurt her Eric. She still is the daughter of my childhood best friend." Max stands and walks to the door. "Jeanine has been to quiet. We need to find out what she is up to. You barely didn't find out about the serums last time. We don't even know who tipped you off that is was bad news."

"Do you think it was her?" Eric stands and walks around the desk.

"Maybe, see if you can find out." Max opens the door and they both walk out.

"I will get her trust and find out." Eric goes down the opposite way towards the tattoo parlor. He had a session to get his chest piece finished. He walks into the back where Jax is leaned over a near naked McKaven tattooing her right shoulder. On her left he sees the name Alec written in cursive with an intricate design around it. As Jax works on her tattoo Eric looks her over. Her shirt is off and her unsnapped with her hair piled messily atop her head leaving her back bare. She wears noting but short shorts and another pair of wicked high heels. Eric walks closer to see what is being tattooed on her right shoulder. Wes and blue flames are being inked into her lovely skin.

"So initiate do you still think you have what is takes to be Dauntless?" Eric taunts her while fighting the urge to cover her or take her against the table.

"Yes." She turns her head toward his and her silver eyes flash as they meet his.

"Hey, Eric. Take a sit it will be just a little longer." Jax says from where he stands over McKaven.

Eric moves over to the spare chair that is next to McKaven's head. As he sits he sees his error in being so close to her. He has unknowingly put himself at eye level with her exposed swell of the side of her breast. Eric fights to keep his mind off of her lovely flesh as well as his hands. "Only names and small designs?"

"My fears." She says.

"Of course." Eric leans forward while keeping his hands firmly places on his knees. "I don't remember seeing that design or a blue flame in your fearscape."

"It is a part of their tattoos."

"You are the girl with just two fears?" Jax asks as he wipes excess ink from her skin.

"Yes. My father's death and the death of my best friend." Eric's hand fists as McKaven tells Jax.

"Did he come with you?" Jax asks going back to finish her tattoo.

"Yes. He is getting a tattoo from Tori."

"She told me it is a big one. That it is special to the boy."

"I drew it." She smiles.

"I would like to see it." Jax cleans off the tattoo.

"I will tell him." She sits up holding onto her bra. Eric's will power all but snapped.

"Tell who what?" Eric's temper flares as Wes walks into the room shirtless.

McKaven's face lights up with a huge smile. "You. Jax wants to see your tattoo."

Wes turns around and shows the tattoo. It is the silhouette of a woman surrounded by water engulfed in blue, black, and silver flames.

"I didn't draw the girl."

"You will always be with me now." Wes jokes.

"Why the colors?" Jax asks as he cleans up his space.

"Dauntless black, Erudite blue, and Kaven silver." Wes says as he looks at Kaven's tattoo. "I like your tattoos."

"Thanks, Wes." She smiles at him and Eric can't help but feel a surge of anger as the boy looks closely at her tattoo.

"Yes nice tattoos now I would like to get mine finished this year so hurry long initiates." Eric doesn't know how much longer he can keep himself in check.

"I still need to get mine covered. I just wanted to show you before Tori bandaged it." Wes smiles before walking into the other room.

"Eric you are on my shirt." McKaven points over his shoulder. The look in her eyes tells him that she can see the lust burning in his own.

He watches as her breathing has become short. Her eyes widen before she looks away. Eric give her a small smile before reaching behind him to pick up her shirt. His eyebrow lifts as he holds out the shirt to her. She still has both hands holding up the bra over her large breast. He can't help but hope she lets it go to take the shirt and feel a stab of disappointment as she uses one hand to cover herself as she reaches out with the other.

"I don't have any tape in here. I need to get some from the back." Jax says from where he has been looking through the drawers in his work space. They watch as he goes through the door at the back of his area.

"What kind of tattoo are you getting?" McKaven's sweet voice pulls Eric back to her.

"Wouldn't you like to know little Erudite." Eric says as he stands bringing himself closer to her. Invading her personal space. He is so close that she can feel the heat coming off him in waves.

"You're hot." She almost pants.

Eric looks into her eyes stunned. "What?"

"There is heat radiating from your body." She tells him in a small voice. "I am the same way but only when I sleep."

"Do you, Bright eyes?" He leans into her, his face mere inches from hers. McKaven's breathing speeds up. Eric smiles as he slides his hand down her smooth cheek to her chin. He brings her flushed face up to his. She stops breathing as he holds her in his stare, his lips a breath from her own. Eric steps back as he hears Jax come from the back.

"Here you are sweet thing." Jax comes and tapes up her tattoos as he tells her of the care for them.

Wes comes back into the room as McKaven is snapping the bra back together before putting her short on now that the tattoo is covered. "Ready to go," he asks.
