Beatrice/Tris P.O.V, Choosing Day
I woke up to a throbbing head and and an excruciating pain in my back, memories of last nights beating flooding back. I yelped out as I tried to sit up, I had to sit up, after all I was lying on the stone, cold kitchen floor. Marcus hadn't bothered to move me, speak of the devil, suddenly, I heard an all too familisr thudding coming down the stairs, he was here.
"You finally woke up then, you worthless waste of space?" Marcus sniggered, clearly enjoying seeing me in constant pain.
"Yes, sir." I replied, knowing it wouldn't be smart to say anything else.
"WELL GET UP AND MAKE ME BREAKFAST THEN!" Marcus bellowed, making my head pound even more.
"I'm just about to, sir." I retorted, but as soon as the words left my mouth I realised mistake
He kicked my back right where he slashed with his belt last night and picked up a bread knife from the counter and made a deep cut in my arm, then he reached out for the salt.
"Please, no!" I screamed, already in incredible pain.
But he didn't stop, he just poured it on. I screamed harder than I think I ever had before. But one thing kept me sane, today was Choosing Day, the day I could finally join my best friend,Tobias, who was the only one who knew about my abusive father. He transferred to Dauntless 2 years ago and the day he left he told me I had to look after myself. My aptitude test was inconclusive, I got Erudite, Dauntless and Abnegation. But I knew even before the test that I was transferring to Dauntless, I had to escape Marcus. Tobais visits me once a week, Thursday at 4pm at the traintracks. However, last night Marus found a note given by Tobias and found us. I told Tobias to run, he didn't do it willingly but I made him. I promised him I would join him and I would be strong until then, so here I am.
Two hours later I was sitting in an Abnegation row at the choosing ceremony, waiting for my name to be called. Waiting to choose my future. I had switched off during Marcus' speech, as the leader of Abnegation he was obliged to make one. It makes me feel sick every time I see him wear his mask, pretending to be the kind, selfless Abnegation leader they know him to be. How niave of them not to see through him. Finally, I heard my name called over the tannoy,
"Eaton, Beatrice, please step forward and choose your faction."
I cut a deep slash in my hand and held my hand over the sizzling Dauntless coals, I gave Marcus a glare and a small smirk. I heard gasps all around the room as I jogged over to Dauntless but the Dauntless cheers overpowered the gasps and outraged cries. Soon, we were leaving the hall and running to jump on the train to my new home. I am Dauntless now and my father can only hurt me in memory...
A/N I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! There will be future ones! I am not going to be one of those annoying people who abandons their story! Thank you for reading! Next chapter will be in Tobias' point of view. Please also check out 'After Initiation' By ChildOfAthena64! She is awesome and so is her story!
