The Journey

Moring came to Freya with an abrupt awakening in the form of Tori bouncing on her bed saying "wake up, wake up, wake up" in a sing-song voice. While early mornings didn't bother Freya, overly enthusiastic morning people did. So she discretely grabbed the closest pillow to her while her eyes were still shut, trying to appear to still be at least half asleep. Just as Tori stopped bouncing and let out a huff Freya sat up quickly and swung the pillow into Tori's torso with all her strength successfully knocking Tori over, and nearly off the bed completely.

"Geesh, Princess grumpy pants this morning I see," Tori said laughing.

"Well, that's what you get for being that hyper this early in the morning. What are you doing in here anyway?" Freya asked, slowly waking up.

"Your mom sent me here to get your measurements so I could get you a dress for tonight. She said you would be too busy to get one yourself today."

"Alright, well I'm trusting you, Tori. Nothing too revealing please."

"Freya you wound me. You're the Dauntless Princess. You are going to be smoking hot, not slutty. Oh, by the way, Eric said that you need be ready in twenty minutes for the meetings this morning."

"Alright, thanks," Freya said, dragging herself out of bed to get dressed.

"See you this afternoon!" said Tori as she bounded out of the room.

Freya quickly brushed her teeth and combed out her hair. Thankfully there was still curl to it from last night so she just left it down. Today would be her first time sitting in on Dauntless meetings as their initiated Princess so she really needed to look the part. She put on what she referred to as her decorative armor. It was more for looks than anything, but it was still functional armor. Tight leather pants, midcalf boots with shiny buckles on the side to match the leather corset that she wore over a long sleeve hooded top. She finished off the look with a warrior thigh pack that strapped around her waist and thigh. She put some knives in the pack and shoved another in her boot. She was safe here in Dauntless but that was no reason to become complacent.

Surprisingly Eric still wasn't ready when she walked out of her room and into the main living area. She wasn't going to complain though, mainly because she was rendered speechless by the sight that greeted her. Eric was slightly bent over the table going over what she assumed was the schedule for today. While that wasn't shocking the fact that he was wearing nothing but his underwear was enough to stop her in her tracks. Clearly, he had recently got out of the shower as his hair was slicked back with water and he was gripping a towel in his hand.

"Good morning Princess. I'll be ready in just a minute. The planners just dropped off today's schedule." he said not looking at her.

"Oh uh....yeah. Good morning Eric. I'm ready to go when you are." she stuttered out. Fuck! He is entirely too sexy for my own good. How am I suppose to live with that and not drool all over the place?

"Ok just give me a minute," he said as he looked at her for the first time that day. Instantly he regretted his plan to tease her by letting her see him in his underwear this morning. His intention had been to make it so she couldn't not notice him. He wanted to keep himself firmly in her mind all day today. However, seeing her in that outfit made him instantly hard so he quickly turned from her and headed to his room before she could notice her effect on him.

It only took him a few minutes to get dressed and thankfully in that time he had calmed down enough to be able to put his pants on. Donning a few weapons he was out the door. He was glad that he had the forethought to put on some compression shorts today as he walked out into the living area. Freya was bent over the same table he had been except she was leaned all the way down so that her elbows rested on the table as she read the paper in front of her. Fuck her ass is amazing. Today is going to be a long fucking day.

"Let's get going Princess," he said to her as he walked out into the hall and held the door open for her. She exited the door and waited for him to lock up before continuing down the hall to the main meeting room. Eric followed closely behind her, thoroughly enjoying the view.

It was lunchtime and Freya was very glad to have the meetings over with. The meetings were really only for her to have a chance to meet all of the current Dauntless leaders and her signing some paperwork signifying that she had returned and would be overseeing certain aspects of Dauntless life. It was all quite boring, although she was happy to meet the leaders. They all seemed very pleased with the report that Niru had sent on her training and the one that Eric had submitted on their journey. Freya herself was actually surprised with how highly both men had spoken of her, perhaps it was her naturally humble nature. Being humble was quite the rare trait among the Dauntless so all the leaders found it quite amusing.

Everyone made their way down to the dining hall. Freya barely had enough time to finish her food before Tori was dragging her out of the hall to start getting ready for the evening.

"Tori seriously, we have like six hours before I need to be at the party. It can't possibly take that long to put a dress on." Freya said, rolling her eyes and Tori shoved her into her room.

"Yes, it will. Just accept it now. I don't want to listen to your bitching all afternoon. Oh and Eric we will be secluded to her bedroom and bathroom until she is ready. We are safe so don't worry about us. You go about your business." Tori said, shutting the bedroom door on an amused Eric.

Well, he did have some things to do today so he was actually thankful for Tori's makeshift imprisonment of Freya for the day. Namely going to spend a large portion of his points on a ring. While Dauntless more traditionally received tattoos when getting married, Erudite stuck to the traditions of the old world and used rings. Eric couldn't help but want to put a ring on Freya's finger. He didn't know how long she would want to wait before getting married and in the meantime he wanted everyone to know who she belonged to.
