Eric turns, his gaze razor-sharp, and his voice slices through the quiet. "What happened?" He demands, his tone cold enough to freeze the room. You choke on the words. "It was Al." He gestures sharply, a flick of his wrist. "Come here." Your heart hammers against your ribs, trapped between the threat behind you and the unreadable danger in front of you. Will he stand for you now, with all of Dauntless watching?
