The days until Tobias returned from whatever task they've send him passed slowly.
Eric was basically breaking us apart,making us run extra long and train extra hard.
At the end of the first week thankfully Tobias was back and I made sure I kept my distance from Eric who seemed to have forgotten his threat.Or at least I saw it as a threat.

Tobias and I talked a lot.We laughed and cried as I told him everything that happened those 4 years.I tried not to get into detail about how Marcus hitted me but I was also not oblivious to the hurt behind Tobias's eyes.

"So how is everything here?Is Eric giving you a hard time?"Tobias asked while we were sitting on his bed at his apartment.

We tried to be careful though.A lot of people didn't know about us and neither I nor Tobias wanted to have everyone thinking I was doing well because my brother was a trainer.

I shrugged at his question.I hadn't told him anything about what Eric had said or done.I knew Tobias would get mad and lush over Eric.

"He is Eric he's giving a hard time to everyone."I said looking at my hands.

I could feel a frown forming at Tobias face
"Eric knows you are my sister and he hates me.I want you to tell me if he lushes out his anger towards you in any way." he said in a soft tone.

I looked up into my brother's protective eyes.
A small smile formed on my lips.

"He isn't.He's just being Eric." I said.

Tobias nodded satisfied with my answer.
If only he knew Eric's suggestion.

I glanced at the clock on the wall.It was almost midnight and I should get back to the dorms so I got up and walked over the door
"You want me to get you back?" Tobias almost jumped from the bed.

I shook my head and I smiled.
"You don't have to.I'll walk myself i am a big girl."I winked at him

I put my hand on the door and then turned again to Tobias.

"Tobi?" I asked

He smiled softly and raised an eyebrow.

"I am happy for you and Tris.You should get together."

Tobias blushed and his smiled widened even more.
I am so happy big brother..

I finally opened the door and walked out carefully closing it and taking long steps desperate to get back to my bed.

Suddenly a hand grabbed me and turned me around.
I found Eric's cold eyes looking down at me.He smelled of alcohol.

"Leave me alone Eric." I struggled to get out of his gasp.

Eric chucked darkly and pulled me closer to his body.
I planted my hands to his chest trying to push him off but it was like pushing a wall.

"Where have you been Adelane?" he whispered in my ear his breath having the familiar smell of beer mixed with something else.

"Eric you are drunk." I ignored his question hoping he would leave me alone.

"Barely.Why don't you come to my room Adelane?You see it's past your bedtime and I will have to report it to the other leaders."He said his grip tightening on my arm.

"You wouldn't." I said looking in his eyes.

"I won't.If you come with me." He grinned and his eyes fell on my exposed neck.

I watched him considering my options.I didn't want to get into trouble but also I Knew what Eric wanted.

I nodded slightly not believing myself at that moment.
