A/N-This is my first real fanfic but I am helping my friend write another one called 73rd Annual Hunger Games.

I do not own Divergent.

Eric's POV

I think Four thinks I'm an idiot. He tries to hide how he feels behind his mask but I can see through it. I see how he stares at the Stiff; I saw how they climbed the Farris wheel together; and I see how he can't stop staring at her now.

I've always hated having to do the stupid knife throwing exercise and the fact those two Stiffs beat me and the fact Four thinks I can't see him staring are all really starting to annoy me.

I need someone to pick on.

I find the only initiate who hasn't hit the target yet. Perfect.

"How slow are you, Candor? Do you need glasses? Should I move the target closer to you?"

This is too easy. His face turns red and he throws another knife and it misses the target completely.

"What was that, initiate?" I say quietly as I lean closer to him. I know people are staring and that just makes this much more fun.

"It-it slipped," He says. He's obviously afraid but still, he should learn to come up with better excuses.

"Well, I think you should go get it," I scan the other initiates faces and see emotions from worry to entertainment. "Did I tell you to stop?"

Everyone starts throwing again but the Stiff is still watching us.

"Go get it?" This kid is great! His eyes get so big they look like they might fall out of his head. "But everyone's still throwing!"

"And?"

"And I don't want to get hit."

"I think you can trust your fellow initiates to aim better than you." I can't help it, I smile a little. This is just too damn fun! "Go get your knife."

"No."

I actually appreciate this. First of all, he's proving he's Dauntless enough to be Dauntless and secondly, this gives me more opportunities to have some more fun. But, I don't like people saying no to me. "Why not? Are you afraid?"

"Of getting stabbed by an airborne knife? Yes I am!"

Cowardice. Looks like I have to deal with this. "Everyone stop!" I shout.

The knives stop being thrown in record timing. Clear out of the ring. All except you." I say looking at the initiate.

Everyone moves and I love how afraid they are of me. "Stand in front of the target. Hey, Four. Give me a hand here, huh?" This is the perfect way to get back at Four as well as teach these initiates a lesson.

Four walks over to me feigning disinterest. It doesn't work very well on me. "You're going to stand there as he throws those knives until you learn not to flinch."

"Is this really necessary?" I can't believe Four has the nerve to stand up against me!

At first we just stare at each other. But then I say, "I have the authority here, remember? Here, and everywhere else."

Four's face changes colour and this is great! He turns and is about to throw when, "Stop it."

The Stiff.

I glance at Four and he's staring at her like he wants to turn her to stone. He's gonna make this too easy.

"Any idiot can stand in front of a target; it doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall, is a sign of cowardice."

This is just the opportunity I've been waiting for. "Then it should be easy for you, if you're willing to take his place."

She starts moving towards the target and I'm startled that she's actually going to do this. More fun for me I guess.

She stands in front of the target and her head doesn't even reach the middle of the target.

"If you flinch, Al takes your place. Understand?" Huh. I thought I was the one calling the shots.

Four throws the knife and it lands half a foot from her cheek and she closes her eyes. Closes her eyes, but doesn't flinch.

"You about done Stiff?" asks Four.

"No." I don't think she gets what he's trying to do.

"Eyes open then." And he taps the spot between his eyes.

This time when Four throws the knife it's about an inch or two above her head.

"Come on Stiff, let someone else stand there and take it."

"Shut up, Four!" She really doesn't get it. Wow, dumb Stiff.

Four throws the last knife and I know he's trying to prove to me that he doesn't care. I can't take any chances so I'll wait to see what happens after.

He nicks her ear.

"I would love to stay and see if the rest of you are as daring as she is but I think that's enough for today." I say and walk over to Tris.

I squeeze her shoulder and whisper, "I should keep my eye on you." And Four. I add silently and walk out of the training room. I wait for everyone else to leave and I move to listen to what happens.

"Is your-" Four starts.

"You did that on purpose!" Tris shouts.

"Yes I did." He says so quietly I almost didn't hear him. Almost. "And you should thank me for helping you."

"Thank you? You almost stabbed my ear, and you spent the entire time taunting me. Why should I thank you?"

"You know, I'm getting a little tired of waiting for you to catch on!"

"Catch on? Catch on to what? That you wanted to prove to Eric how tough you are?" No, not how tough he is. "That you're sadistic just like he is?"

"I'm not sadistic. If I wanted to hurt you, don't you think I would have already?"

I move into the shadows as Four storms out and I move in.

The moment she sees me she starts to look scared.

"Look Tris, I'm gonna make this simple." I say talking slowly. "If you don't want anything bad to happen to you or one of your pathetic friends, you're going to need to tell me everything you learn about any Dauntless member I ask about. Got it?"

"Why? What are you going to do if I say no?" The moment I said something would happen to her friends, she paled.

"I'm not sure. One of them could have an 'accident' by the chasm or something like that. Then you, I don't really think you want to know what I'll do to you if you refuse."

"So you want me to spy for you?"

"In a way yes. But if anyone finds out, it'll be bad for all of you."

"Fine, but don't hurt anyone." She says and she starts to cry a bit.

"As long as you do as I say I won't. And I expect you to tell me what you find out every day and if you don't learn anything, still talk to me. Got it Stiff?"

"And who would you want me to watch right now?" She says between sniffles.

"Just pay attention to anyone right now and we'll talk about it later." I say even though I'm only thinking about Four.

She nods and I leave thinking that today has been way too easy.

A/N- Like I said this is my first real fic, so reviewing is welcomed but please don't be too mean. If you give me advice I'll use it as best I can. 'Till then BYE-BYE!
