Heyy guys!!! I am so so sorry for not updating. I honestly didn't have any inspiration to write but here I am again! Hope all of you are healthy and okay

Eric's pov

Eric felt like he needed to see Adelane
He needed to explain to her. He knew a lot he had done was he own doing. He took fool responsibilitie for that. Be he also wanted to explain to her the situation.
If there was one thing he could do to help her. He would do it. Before it was too late.

He walked on the Dauntless corridors, thinking where could Adele have hidden. He was sure she had came here. She needed weapons and allies and he was sure she felt more safe here.
It was still very early in the morning and the majority of the faction was still asleep.
Thankfully.

He was about to search the training room when he heard a soft sob, he slowly turned his head to see Adelane, face burried in her hands, sitting on the ground.
She was sobbing quietly, hadn't noticed Eric watching her.

"Adele" Eric spoke softly not wanting to scare her.

Her head quickly snapped at him, her pupils widened at the sight of the blonde leader in front of her.
She stumbled to her feet and took a few steps back.

Eric put his hands up in an attempt to calm her down.
"I am not here to hurt you, I promise... I just want to talk to you."

Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. "I stabbed you a few hours ago and now you want to just talk to me? What game are you playing Eric? " She spoke in a low voice

He sighed, never taking his eyes off her.
"It's complicated... I just... need to explain. Please let me do that. "

"Okay talk. " She said

"Not here. Follow me. " He turned his back at her and started walking away.

Adelane reluctantly followed him, not having much say in this.
They walked a few more corridors and Adelane noticed he was taking to the camera room.
Once in the room Eric took some time to observe her.
The edges of her hair were stained with blood and  a few hairs were stuck to her face. Her big eyes seemed dark and tired and her complexion was paler than usual.... still Adelane looked stunning.

She raised an eyebrow at him
"Speak." She said.

Eric cleared his throat. He let his gaze stay on her red stained dress for a while and then looked back into her waiting eyes.
"Adele, I am not going to sit here and tell you all I did was not my fault. I won't pretend I am not fucked up, violent or even evil. I wish things were different. I wish you had met me before I turn into a monster.... But I can't change. Believe me I can't. I won't. " His tone wasn't harsh. He didn't hold the mean exterior he did when he spoke as a leader.
Now completely striped from the effects of the serum he felt very vulnerable.

"As I said a lot of things I did was because of me. I was cruel to you, I used you.But the most vile things... The truly evil ones... Jeanine has developed a controling serum. She has been using one me for a while. Honestly this is one of the few moments I ever had of clarity. The serum has completely worn off... for now. So I wanted to apologize. "

He waited for her to speak but Adelane was staring at him, completely lost.

"I am sorry for everything that happened  to you. I truly am.. I want you to know that.... I don't know if I love you. I don't know if I am capable of that to be honest. But If I care about anyone in this world beside myself that's you. I care about you. That's why I will help you." He said

"Help me how?" Adelane asked 

Eric gave a small smirk
"Kill Jeanine. "
