Tobias Pov
This is my first fanfiction :) Hope you like it !
Chapter 1
I stand in an empty room and see my father enter with a belt the size of his forearm. I feel a shiver down my back as he removes my shirt. He swings his hand down and whips me in the spine. I think to myself '9 more whips til it's over, he's nearly done'. When my father finishes he slams my bedroom door shut and tells me to go to bed.
In a dream I see my mother, she glows in the sunlight. Her blond hair blowing and dark blue eyes shining. She looks prettier than I've ever seen. "Tobias, come with me. You'll be safe with me." I'm in a dandelion field. I run after my mother that I haven't seen since I was 8, but she gets farther away from me with every step that I take. I shout out my mother's name but she can't hear me, I try to scream as loud as I can but I give up and fall to the ground, on my knees.
I wake up to see my blinds pulled to the top, letting sunshine seep through. My father is standing at the foot of my bed, glaring at me with his dark brown sunken eyes. "Marcus, get out of my room" I say sharply "Don't you dare call me Marcus! I'm your father; I can do anything I want." He walks over to the side of the bed where I sit and shouts "Get out of bed" "I wouldn't talk to me like that if I were you" I mutter "Or what, you're going to punch me! Ha-ha, I'd like to see you try" I get up and walk over to my cupboard to change into my usual factions outfit. The Abnegation wear simple clothes, grey. Once I'm dressed I see Marcus with the belt in hand. I run downstairs and out the door. He follows me but struggles to keep up. I dodge the holes in the ground and traffic lights that have fallen. I don't look back.
