'Problems with a for loop using writeRaster

I am trying to create a for loop to merge 4 raster (EVI MODIS tiles) at a time (because the 4 raster create one big map) in a list of 8 raster (my real list is much more bigger but I am doing a test), then crop the whole map and finally write (writeRaster) the result in the same folder. This is the code I am using but I dont know if I am doing the for loop correctly:

library(raster)
library(gdalUtils)    
library(rgdal)
library("RStoolbox")

setwd("D:/MODIS/Tesis/Ecuador_2000-2019/HDF-Terra/EVI_terra/New folder/New folder")
files <- list.files(pattern=".tif$",full.names = FALSE)
vector <- c(files[1:4], files[5:8])
for (i in vector)
{
 x <- files
x1 <- (raster(x[1])/10000) # we create a raster for each object in the vector "x" (files) to merge them
x2 <- (raster(x[2])/10000)
x3 <- (raster(x[3])/10000)
x4 <- (raster(x[4])/10000)
enlist <- list(x1,x2,x3,x4)
y <- do.call(merge, enlist)
cropped <- crop(y, size) # we crop the new full map (4 tiles) with the object "size" (polygon)
writeRaster(cropped, filename = paste0("EVI_crop_", x)) # we extract the new tif

I have to say that the first raster is created correctly but an error appears for the second:

Error in .rasterObjectFromFile(x, band = band, objecttype = "RasterLayer", : Cannot create a RasterLayer object from this file. In addition: There were 35 warnings (use warnings() to see them)

I am new in R but understand for loops had been the most difficult for me. Thanks
