Cheers erupt but those who did not make it walk towards Four. They know that they have to pack and leave. As people celebrate no one noticed the three leave. As the three leave i grab everyone attention again.
"Listen up," i yell.
Everyone becomes quiet.
"Since you guys made it through hell, i am throwing a party. Drinks on me and enjoy your short break to recover from your hang overs," i say.
And cheers again erupt from below me. I start walking towards my apartment and everyone follows. Good thing it is only nine people.
As everyone enters my apartment everyone seems scared. My apartment is pretty big so it must be new to them. Ace walks to the front of the crowd and grab a beer and sits on one of the couches.
The DJ starts playing a sick beat. I just watch as the initiates start to loosen up. More people start to enter my apartment. Four and his friends. I notice two of them Zeke and Uriah Pedrad. My blood starts to boil when i see Uriah go sit next to Ace and put his arm around her.
"Hey Eric," says a short blond girl.
She twirls her hair in between her fingers. She is definitely trying to catch some attention. But she came to the wrong person today.
"What," i snarled.
She backed up pretty fast and fell into the arms of Four. Who just looks at the girl and smirks. Then he looks at me and shakes his head. He grab a beer bottle from the counter top and walks over to me.
"Aren't you suppose to loosen up like the rest of them," says Four.
"I rather make sure nobody does something stupid in my house," i say.
He just laugh and walks into the party. As more people fill the room more people start dancing.
The music is pumping. Now all you can smell is alcohol and sweat. Ace is still sitting next to Uriah. She laughs at something he says. I start to walk towards them with a beer in my hand. I take a swig and sit down next to them.
"Aren't you a little young to be here, Uriah," i say.
Uriah looks at me like a deer in head lights. That is when Zeke pops out of no where.
"Uriah, come on," Zeke growls out.
Uriah stands up and walks towards his brother disappearing in to the crowd.
"That was rude," says Ace.
I just stand back up and laugh. I put my hand out for her to take and she takes it.
"Follow me," i say to her.
She nods her head. We weave through the crowd and head out my apartment.
"Where are we going," she asks.
"That is a secret," i wink.

<Aces pov>
Eric goes through the compound till we reach the roof. I do not have much fond memories up here. You know with whole Loki thing, but i am not letting that hold me back. I follow Eric to the edge of the building.
"So congratulations on 2nd place," says Eric.
"Thanks," i say.
He sits on the ledge and taps next to him for me to sit. I sit next to him. I dangle one leg off the edge and have my other on the ground. Eric has both legs dangling off the building.
"So why are we here," i ask.
"Its peaceful. I hate parties," he says.
"Than why throw one," i ask.
"To distract the initiates. To let them loosen up. It has been a tough week," he says.
"Did big bad Eric become a big softy this week," i say in the most annoying puppy voice ever.
"No, lets just say it was not exactly my idea," he says.
I laugh at him. I loose my balance and tip over the side of the building. I feel some one grab my arm and balance me.
"Getting a little clumsy there initiate," says Eric.
I glare at him. We sit there for about thirty minutes. Thats when i notice we are not the only ones on the roof. I turn around to see Lex standing behind us.
"Lex," i say.
She seems really drunk.
"What are you doing here with him," her words slur as she speaks.
I look at her confused.
"Don't you know what he did? He killed him. He killed the only guy i was interested in. He is a cruel ass," says Lex.
I know what she is talking about. But i did not know she liked Connor that way. I thought her and Will were close like that but i guess i was wrong.
"Lex you okay," i ask.
Eric is facing her glaring at her.
"How can you sit next to him. He is sadistic prick," she slurs.
She walks closer to us. Eric is standing up facing her. I stand up too. She starts walking towards us.
"Lex, your drunk," i say.
"Yeah. But that's the truth. You killed him. And i saw it," she says as she jabs her finger in his chest.
Eric is trying to stay calm. His lips are in a grim line and he is breathing through his nose. You can see the pulse in the side of his neck. You can tell he is pissed.
"Why, huh? Why kill him? What was he better than you," says Lex who is now crying.
Eric finally opens his mouth.
"No, i killed him for the same reason i should kill you," says Eric.
Lex slaps him across the face. It sounded like a whip cracking in the wind. Lex looks at him with tears in her eyes. But as soon as the words and what she did registered in her head she becomes pale. All the blood drained from her face.
Eric looks like he is going to exploded. Before i can stand in between them, Eric grabs her neck and snaps it. Lex's body drops to the floor.
"That's one less initiate to worry about," he mumbles.
I look at him lost. Lost in a mix of emotions. I was mad, angry, confused, sad, and relieved and much more. But

Why did he do that? Why did he do it in front of me? Why the hell is all my friends divergent?

I just started at him my face blank of emotions. When Eric finally turns around. I walk away from him.
"Ace, wait," he says as he grabs my arm.
"I had to Ace. I had to," he says.
I just shake my head as i walk away a few tears escaped my eyes. Lex was the one that first started talking to me. She was the one that i liked. Connor who was really excepting died too.
A lot of people end up dying when i am around. I try to walk back to the dorm not wanting to go back to Eric's apartment. As i walk back i bump into Four and Zeke and Uriah.
"Ace? Whats wrong," he asks.
"Nothing," i say, i try my best to smile.
"You sure," he asks.
I nod my head. I turn around to see Eric staring at me before walking back into his apartment. Four looks at me than looks at Eric's apartment.
"Did something happen," he asks again.
"Nooo, just give me a piggy back ride," i say as i jump onto his back.
Zeke and Uriah always hang with Four so they come with us. Uriah on his brother's back.
We run around the compound and do stupid stuff finally we come back to the roof. First i was afraid, i was afraid that the body was still there. But i walked up there acting like it was my first time up there that night. Once we reach the top Uriah runs to the ledge and jumps on to it.
I almost screamed. Four and them laughed at me because apparently my face was priceless when Uriah jumped on the wall. All of a sudden Uriah gets serious and says,"hey um, Four come here."
Four walks to the edge and his serious face replaces his carefree face. Me and Zeke walk closer to the edge. To see a body crumpled on the sidewalk.
"Uriah take Ace back to the dorms, and tell Eric to meet me down there. Zeke you are coming with me,"says Four.
Four starts jogging away with Zeke on his trail. Uriah grabs my arms and starts dragging me back to the dorms.
After Uriah drops me off he leaves. After about 10 minutes all the initiates come back to the dorm. Some drunk and some sober.
When i asked them why they were back they said that the partied was called off cause a dead initiate was found. I act dumbfounded by the news. I already knew who it was. Everyone starts going to their beds and pass out for the night. But i am stuck with a secret, one that will probably haunt me every night.

<Fours pov>
After i left Ace i went straight to the sidewalk. Zeke who pulls up next to me reaches the body first.
"Isnt the girl that got ranked first," he says.
I nod my head. I know Lex's little secret. The secret i tried to help her cover up. But i guess it did not work that well. Blood was coming from a large gash in her skull. I guessing that came from the impact on the sidewalk.
But something was weird. I started to notice a bruise around her neck.
"Zeke," i say but i do not even get to finish my sentence cause Eric calls out from behind me.
"Zeke and Uriah make sure the initiates are in the dorms," he growls out before walking over to me.
He looks at the body and rolls it over using his shoe.
"Can't you use your hands,"i say.
"I wouldn't want to get my hands dirty," he says with a smirk.
"You already know why she is dead Four," he says.
I nod my head.
"But she was not pushed off the building," i say.
"True. Lets just say she made me a little angry and she was already on my hit list from Max and Jeanine," says Eric.
He looks back at the body and pulls out a phone from his pocket.

"Hello......yeah.....thats taken care of....... yeah...... bring a body bag........front of the building. sidewalk.... No it did not go as planned.......i lost it..... i snapped her neck.......yeah i know.... i will take care of it......okay," he says and hangs up.

I look at him and back at the body. That reminds me when i was Eric's party him, Ace, and Lex disappeared at the same time. Wait does that mean Ace saw what happened.
"Eric did anybody witness what happened," i ask.
He looks at me for a moment and shakes his head. Eric never hesitates. Ace must have seen it.
After about three minutes Max walks out the building with two other people. One carrying the body bag.
"Would you care to explain Eric," says Max in a deadly low tone.
Eric was already walking on thin ice after being late to a couple meetings and beating up some people a.k.a Loki, Ace's dad, and that scientist from Erudite quarters. Two of which are dead. Both of them because Eric loosing his temper.
