For better or worse ( eric divergent)

Chapter 2

Eric stared at my back in disgust.

"what happened to you" for some reason his features had softened when he asked this but his voice was still dripping with venom, strangely instead of the cold glare his eyes usually had his features resembled one of concern.

"I guess I hurt myself when I landed" I attempted to sound convincing but my voice squeaked at the end.

Eric didn't look convinced "that's rubbish and you know it , I saw you landing, you didn't fall" all concern had gone and was replaced by irritation.

"who did this" his voice was low and I almost didn't hear him , but the threat was clear in his words. I didn't want to tell him about my past, I came here for a new beginning.

"no one did it, I just fell when I was in abnegation and the net reopened the wound, it isn't bad really I guess a lot of blood comes from a small cut" although these were not small cuts.

"whatever, you're going to the infirmary ,now"

"but I don't know the way" I don't know what it was but I just had the urge to challenge Eric, maybe because I never got to challenge those higher than me in my youth.

"that's why i'm taking you" he said in a 'duh' kind of tone.

Then we started to walk to the infirmary, and Eric had his and on my back , leading me and for some reason I didn't mind at all.

Infirmary

The infirmary was a large room with beds lining the wall on all sides, there was a receptionist desk with waiting chairs in front. At the end came a hallway with doors lining the wall and numbers branded on the surface, those must be the private rooms, or surgery rooms. Eric led me to a bed on the far corner , where a bubbly nurse came to help me.

"hello honey, i'm Mag what can I do to help you" she had a sweet old lady voice, she seemed to be about mid 50's with short blond hair and a button nose, she looked good for her age with very few wrinkles at all.

"her back is bleeding" Eric had answered for me , shortly and bluntly

"okay i'm going to close this curtain and Eric you are going to have to wait outside" I was so thankful for Mag in that moment, I was rather uncomfortable with Eric there.

"right darlin you are going to have to take your dress off so I can see your wounds, I will go get  you some clothes" then she left to get clothes for me.

Before putting my blood in that bowl I never believed that I would be at the dauntless infirmary having my wounds checked with the most ruthless leader standing right outside. Soon mag came bustling back in with some black clothes in hand.

"I got you some leggings and a baggy black shirt so it wouldn't be bad for your back, the toilet is just through there, go get changed and then I can get started," she pointed to a door off to the side.

After getting changed, Mag had me lay down on the bed while she inspects my wounds.

"oh honey what happened?" she had exclaimed

"I really don't want to talk about it"

" oh that's okay" in an attempt to change the topic she brought up her grandson

"you know my grandson is doing initiation this year"

"oh really whats his name?" she had smiled at my response, probably happy that I wanted to participate in the conversation.

"Uriah" that's the boy from the train

"I've met him, he talked to me on the train, he was very nice, he complemented my train jumping skills," she and I both laughed at that and it felt good, up until a particular dab at my wounds stopped me and made me wince, Mag had apologised immediately.
