I slammed my fists against the punching bag, my fury fueling my rage. I hated him....he is so condescending. I growled then kicked the bag it swayed back and forth under the attack. My mind drifting back to our knife training.

~Flashback~

"You're wasting my time...Initiate" Eric spits the last part out

"Really? I thought I was sitting here knitting" I gritted my teeth and I tried again to throw the knife, it barely nicked the wood. I groaned in frustration.

"Watch that mouth of yours...." he growled at me

"Why are you going to watch it for me?" I scoffed throwing my hand back to threw the knife before I could release the knife my wrist was caught in an iron grip. I glared into Eric's eyes, they burned right through me.

"You don't want me to do that" he sneered before tightening his grip causing me to drop the knife.

"You can't do that" I stood my nose touching his

"I....can....do....WHATEVER.....I......WANT" he screamed causing spit to fly in my face, I wiped it off

~End Flashback~

My aching knuckles brought me to the present. He can't do whatever he wants. I take a deep breath and head to the bathroom to wash the blood off my busted knuckles, I winced and I heard chuckling coming from behind me. I know that chuckle anywhere. I turned to see Eric leaning against the bathroom wall, his arms crossed in front of him, his biceps practically ripping the sleeves. A cocky smirk on his face.

"What's the matter Initiate?" he mocked with fake sympathy

"Nothin a bottle of Jack couldn't handle" I muttered before shoving past him barely moving him.

"No alcohol against rules" he pouted for a moment before smirking

"Yeah, well it seems to me that...rules are just suggestions" I practice kicking the bag before I was whipped around to face an amused yet angry Eric

"You will abide by the rules..." he warned

"What like you?" I sneered before he slapped me so hard I feel to the floor. I chuckled darkly tonguing my lip. 

"I told you to watch your mouth" he placed his arms behind his back

"Yeah you did" I nodded slowly and chuckled

"You should be up in the dorms....Candor" he sneered my factions name

"Yeah, but who would be here to annoy you" I batted my eyelashes

"If your not out of here by the time I count to 10-" he began

"Enough of your empty threats ERIC" I screamed walking up to him and slapping him.

He stared at me with such hatred I burst out laughing.

"Wait..are you speechless?" I taunted further

"You're dead" he muttered before grabbing me and hauling me over his shoulder and marching out of the training room. I screamed and clawed at shoulders.

"What'd you do this time Shade?" one asked me

"I guess it's just my sparkling personality" I yelled before pounding his back, I hear the sound of rushing water and knew we were going. He sat me roughly down with a growl.

"Name one reason I shouldn't throw you off right now" He snarled

"Because...you'd be lonely" I joke bitterly
