Who Would Have Thought (Eric Divergent)

Prologue

I was so comfortable in my tiny little bed, curled up in the soft fluffy blankets, enjoying down time, until of course there was a knock on my door, and someone walked in, and that someone being my dad. He sat at the edge of my bed, and shook my shoulder gently. I mumbled and pulled the blankets up to my head. I heard him chuckle as he stood up and yanked my covers from me. I was in a black tank top, and shorts.

"Hey!!!" i complain looking up at him reaching for the blankets. He shook his head and dropped the covers on the bed.

"Come on get dressed, this hiding has to stop, we need you out and about." he said. He's been pushing this topic for three weeks now, and by the tone of his voice he meant it this time. I groan and get to my feet. He nods and walks out so i can change. I pull on some black cargo pants, and a sleeveless vest over my tank top, i tamed my short white hair, and looked in the mirror. My eye's were white-grey, and my skin was a pale white.

It was weird considering my dad had dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes, he says i get it from my mother. I lace up my combat boots and walked out the door to living room of my dads apartment, and he held up keys as he stood by the door. I raise my eyebrow, and took them, they had the number 224, on them and realized that was the room number two doors down from him.

"What ya kicking me out?" i asked. He laughed, and opened the door, we walked out and he locked the door.

"I'll have your stuff down there by this afternoon, no worries baby girl." he said sweetly. I sigh, and follow him. I had no clue where we were going but i knew i wasn't going to like it, no of course not it involved other people, people i don't know, and people you cant trust, and my trust issues were sky high.

"You will be training the initiates, and there are no buts, i trust you and that's what i need right now someone i trust, you need to overcome you fear of others and just get out there, your a leader for fuck sake, you should even be having this problem!" he bellowed. I sighed we have this conversation a lot, and i hate it.

"OK OK dad i get it just, please, its too early for the arguing." i say grabbing his hand and begging him to calm down, he always got carried away, mostly when it involved me. He sighed and nodded and looked up as someone began to walk down the hallway, and i soon realized we were headed to the mess hall. Someone was coming from the other direction, and he was tall. He had short brown hair, tattoos on his arms, and neck, piercings above his right eyebrow, and ears, and blue-grey eyes they had a cold glint in them.

"Aww, Eric this is my daughter Shade, she will be helping you, and Four with training the initiates." he said. Eric fell into step next to Max, and looked down at me. I was tense as he walked with us and my dad sighed. My dad pulled me into the mess hall, and everyone got pen drop quiet, staring over at us. That's when Four walked in and made his way over.

"See you finally crawled out of bed" he said. I glare at him and follow my dad to the leaders table where i sat next to Eric who was tense as Four followed us and stood next to me. 

"Are you still angry i didn't mean it" He said. I glare at him and Max stops eating and looked at him.

"What did you do?" he asked. I scoff and look at Four and them him.

"What didn't he do?" i asked.

"She's mad because i keep waking her up at 3 a.m. to do training, i don't know why your so mad, you win every time." he said, looking at me as he said the last bit. 

"I haven't slept in three days, and right when i fall asleep he wakes me up." i said. Glaring at at them him. I had a plate and reached over Eric's plate to grab the apple juice but i couldn't reach it. 

"I got it." he said making me a glass. I smiled at him and took a sip, I look up to add to my insults to Four to find him and Eric glaring at each other. I look at my dad who was eating he looked up at me then looked at the boys. 

"Four go on we have things to talk about." max said. Eric smirked as he walked away. I ate my food quietly as Max went over the positions of how we will greet the initiates. Eric was quiet the whole time looking back at me every now and then. That is tell Kaci walked in, she stopped and stared at me with her mouth open before running over. She wasn't a leader but she was a very good friend of me and Max, she working in the tattoos department.She hugged me and i groaned in pain my back was killing me from sparing with Four.

"Your out and about, what are you doing, what did you do with Shade!?" she rambled on with the questions and i put my hand over her mouth.

"Hush child, don't explode please." i say calmly, she nodded, and looked at Eric before looking back at me. I remember  her telling me about how rude Eric can be but she knows my no judging rule. 

"Im training the initiates with Eric, and Four." i say gesturing to Eric next to me. She smiled and then became all business. 

"Are you going to come by so i can finish your tattoo?" she asked. I nod and drank the last of my apple juice and looked over at the bottle. Eric got the hint and made me another cup. 

"Maybe to night around 8." i say, and she nodded before running off. I sigh and finish my food and just sat around listening to Max talk. Eric seemed to get comfortable,  and talked every once in a while.

"Ok ten minutes, Shade will meet you on the roof, go ahead and head that way." max said pulling Eric aside. I look back at them, as i walked out to see Max talking dangerously  to Eric and i wondered what it was about.
