Imagine: Eric saving you when the other initiates attempt to hurt you.

*************************************

       "Leave me alone!" You hiss, trying to walk away from a group of fellow initiates who had stopped you as you were going back to your dorm.

"Why Y/N? You didn't seem scared during fear sims, why are you scared now?" Tim asks, as the others circle you like vultures.

"Just leave me alone," You repeat with more conviction this time.

That's when he punches you, knocking you into the arms of one of the others, who grabbed you. Before you knew what was happening, you were being held over the edge of the chasm.

"How does this feel Y/N?" Tim asks, shooting you a malicious grin, "Knowing that your life is in our hands, we just have to let go and you'd be gone."

Your heart is pounding too fast for you to form words.

"Alright that's enough," You finally hear the voice of your leader, "Set her back on the ground, otherwise, once I'm finished with each of you, you'll be wishing that you were factionless."

Wide-eyed, the boy sets you back on solid ground and you fall to your knees, panting out of relief. Tim tries to stutter a response but Eric cuts him off with a punch, "Get out of here, or you'll be dealing with a lot worse than a broken nose."

The group scrambles and Eric helps you up, he takes you by the forearm and leads you through the dimly lit hallways and up to his apartment. He tells you to take a seat and leaves to get a first aid kit from the bathroom.

When he returned, he sat down in front of you and carefully cleaned all your cuts and bruises.

"Thank you Eric," You finally whispered.

He simply nodded in response, before saying, "If they ever give you trouble again, tell me, and I'll take care of it. For now, you can spend the night here."
