48.1. Nightly Horrors

Nightly Horrors (part 1)

(Eric x Reader)

Summary: Your friends decide to walk around at night dragging you with them. Eric catches you snooping around.

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

"That's a terrible idea, you hear me? TERRIBLE! We're in so much trouble if someone catches us sneaking around here in the middle of the night. Guuuuys, please let's go back I don't wanna end up factionless." You whinened, walking behind your two friends. For some reason they thought it would be fun exploring the dauntless grounds. You? Not so much. They had dragged you along with them anyway.

You were an abnegation transfer and although you had chosen to be in dauntless the thought of breaking the rules didn't appeal two you very much. Old habits die hard they say. Dauntless was all about being brave and fierce, everything you weren't. You just thought they were being suicidal. Maybe some of them were.

"Nothing will happen, we just take a quick look around and be back in our quaters before anybody even realizes we're missing." You friend Amy said while rolling her eyes at you, both amused and annoyed at your level of fearfulness.

"Anyway..." She couldn't finish her sentence. In an corridor to your left you heard a door opening and someone was stepping out ending his conversation with the person inside. You three looked at each other for a second with wide eyes before you all started to run wherever the hallway you were currently in was leading to.

Your friends were already behind the next corner when you heard a voice behind you calling out to you.

"Hey you there!"

You stoped in your tracks. Fucking hell. You knew that voice. It was Eric. Your personal devil send straight form hell just to torture you every single day in training. I'm done for. There's no way I'm geting out of this.

"Uuuh, uhm yeah...hi there..." You stammered out unsure of the best approach in this kind of situation.

"Care to tell me what the hell you doing here in the middle of the night? And who are you anyway?" He said with a straight face.

Is he serious? He makes my days a living nightmare and doesn't even now who I am? I knew he was an ass by this level of ignorance is truly astonishing.

He leaned against a wall looking you up and down with a measuring look.

"I'm Y/N. I'm one of your inistiats you know? You see me every day do you really not know who I am?" You said in a firm voice your anger getting the better of you.

"No," He answered, looking you over once more, "But now that I know ...you realize you have no right to be here, initiate?"

"There is a perfectly good explanation for my being here..." You said already thinking in your head what that good explanation could be. You had no clue. To make matters worse you were a horrible liar. This was doomed form the start. Why did I ever thought becoming dauntless was the right choice.

"I'd really love to hear that. Should be interesting. And that explanation better be good or you're not gonna make it back to your quarters tonight..." He stared at you seriously. You had no doubt he meant every word. But surely it wasn't ok to strike down an initiate over something like that. Or was it?

Fuck.

"You see...," You were begining, no idea were this conversation was going, "I am a sleep walker, no idea how I ended up here, really...I-I could not be more surprised than you are."

"That's bullshit."

It was. Of course he'd see trough something so stupid. But well you really, really were a bad liar.

"You're right...the truth is I-I...you see I have a huge crush on you and was following you!" Bloody hell why did you say that, that was even more dumb than the excuse before.

"Aaah is that true now?" He said walking over to you. You stumbled back trying to put some more space between you two. You hit the wall with your back and pressed yourself againt it hoping a portal would open up right there and swallow you whole. Eric placed both of his hands on the sides of your head, he brought his head awfully close to yours and gazed into your eyes with an intensity that made you uncomfortable. A blush was spreading on your face much to your discomfort. One of his hands landed on your hip, his face drawing nearer to your own. He leaned to the side and whispered into your ear.

"You're a terrible liar, sweetheart." With this he let go of you and stepped back. You released a breath you didn't know you had kept in and inhaled deep.

"What was your name again?"

"Y/N." you said, looking anywhere but directly at Eric.

"We're going to have such a good time from now on. Belief me." He said smiking and walked away. You were left standing there with the knowlage that you most likely hadn't seen the worst of Eric yet. You were sure you would soon enough.
