A/N: So this one is the longest chapter yet to make up for chapter 5 and it is also the darkest chapter yet. This chapter consists a non-consensual/rape scene just to warn those of you who did not read the description and do not wish to read that scene. It is kind of a big jump in time since the last chapter was based in the beginning of stage one and this chapter is based at the end of stage one but the in between wasn't too important so yeah. Anyways, I don't know when I am going to be able to get Chapter 7 out but I hope it will be soon. Please leave any feedback you would like to give, it is very much appreciated. -Ellie

Chapter 6

Number 20. I stare at the ranking board in front of me. I am barely above the red line. One more rank down and I would be cut. After hours and hours of training with Eric I finally made it pass stage one. Yesterday was everyone's final fight and Eric had purposely put me with the best dauntless born fighter, Darren. I ended up winning the fight though I earned a couple of bruised ribs and a concussion. After the fight, Eric visited me in the infirmary to check on me. He knew I could have very easily not won the fight but he also knew it was my only chance to make it pass stage one.

"Hey Rose" I hear Elliot call me over to him and Roma. I walk over to them with a huge smile on my face.

"Hey guys, what's up" They both also made it.

"We were just wondering if you and Uriah were planning on going to the party tonight."

"I don't think I am but Uriah is probably going." Roma sticks out her bottom lip.

"Why aren't you going?" She asks me in a high-pitched whiny voice.

"I don't know, I think I am going to clean Uriah's dirty ass apartment because he obviously isn't going to do it." Elliot's face lights up after a moment of silence.

"Did you hear about what happened to Drew?" I shake my head. "River and Drew were against each other in the final fight and River beat him literally to a bloody pulp. Now Drew is a vegetable." My mouth drops open.

"Oh my god, are you serious?" That has never happened before. No one has almost died during fights, sure people have gotten seriously injured but not to the point to where they have to be fed through a tube. Roma and Elliot nod with wide eyes.

"Everyone is scared of him now, even Four and Tris are reluctant to tell him what to do." Roma adds. They don't understand why River did this. No one but he and I understand how much of a monster Drew was. Everyone just thinks River is some psychopath with anger problems, though I know he is just trying to avenge his sister. "Well we are going to go get ready for the party tonight. I hope you change your mind." Elliot and Roma walk off toward the dorms and I walk toward Hana's apartment. I really need to pick up some clothes.

Once I get to her apartment, I knock on the door once and let myself in. "Hana? Are you home?"

"I'm in here sweetheart" I hear her call from the living room. I walk into the living room and Hana stands up from the couch to give me a hug. "I haven't seen you in a while; please tell me you made it pass stage one." Her face is full of concern.

"Don't worry, I made it." I decide not to tell her how close I was to not making it. She smiles brightly and hugs me again.

"How is Uriah as a trainer?"

"He's good. He helped me a lot." I lie.

"Well Sweetie, I have bad news. Max is having me go on a three week tour at the fence so I won't be back until after initiation and I'm leaving this evening but Max will have an extra key if you need to get in here for any reason" So this will probably be the last time I will ever see her.

"Okay, then I guess I will see you after initiation" I lie again. I can feel the tears start to sting my eyes at the thought of never seeing Hana again. I look away from her so she can't see me start to cry. Well, I just need to get some extra clothes." I stand up from the couch.

"Okay sweetheart just make sure to say bye to me before you leave"

"Okay" I walk quickly to my room and shut the door behind me. I wipe my eyes and take a deep breath. There is no need to cry and feel sorry for myself; I can still make it past stage two. I take a bag out of my closet and start stuffing as many clothes as I can fit into there. I close my door as quietly as I can. Knowing that I will start crying if I see Hana again, I shout a goodbye and leave before she could say it back.

Once I get back to Uriah's apartment I put my stuff away in my drawer and begin cleaning. He is literally the messiest person I know. It takes me hours to clean up his apartment. I am folding his clothes by the time Uriah comes home high out of his mind. He has been coming home every night high lately. "Hey Babe" I call to him while still folding the clothes and putting them in a nice pile on the bed. He doesn't respond to me. He never does anymore. I check the time on the clock next to the bed. Actually, he usually doesn't come home this early.

I hear Uriah's footsteps approach me. I feel his familiar hands wrap around my waist and tuck themselves underneath my shirt. I continue to fold clothes hoping he would get the picture. I feel his lips press roughly against my neck. "Uriah, I'm folding your laundry right now" I try to shrug him off of me but his arm wraps tighter around my waist. He grabs the back of my neck with his free hand and pushes my torso onto the bed, making the pile of clothes fall over and scatter on the floor. "Uriah!" Why would he do that? I try to stand up but he pushes me back down.

"Shut up" He says with no emotion in his voice.

"Uriah, stop it! You are scaring me!" I struggle underneath his grasp. He has hold of my neck and presses my face down harder into the bed anytime I try to move. My knees are tucked under me so I kick them out at Uriah with as much force as I can muster but he pushes harder on my neck making me feel like it's about to break. I shout out in pain.

"Stop moving, you little slut." This doesn't sound like the Uriah I know and love.

"What are you even talking about?" My voice shakes from the pressure on my neck.

"I saw you with him Slut. Don't play stupid with me." I can hear him messing with his belt. Fear is coursing through my body.

"Uriah, please don't do this" My voice cracks from the sobs building up. The belt stops jingling and I can feel his fingers grab the hem of my shorts and underwear and tear them down my legs.

"Put your knees on the bed" I do as I am told with the fear of him pressing too hard on my neck and snapping it. My whole back side is completely exposed. I hear the belt jingle again and I know exactly what is about to happen. I suddenly feel the horrible sting of the leather belt against my ass. I only let out a small whimper. He brings down the belt at least another five times before he decides I'm not screaming enough and uses the side of the belt with the metal buckle. I scream out of agony as the prong of the buckle punctures my already tender skin. Finally after minutes of torture, he puts down the belt and takes off his own pants. This is the easy part. He releases my neck and as I go to rub my neck with my hand he snatches my arm and flips me over so I am facing him.

"I want you to see it is me who's fucking you this time" He holds my arms above my head with one hand and uses the other hand to stroke himself at my entrance. I stare up at the ceiling just waiting for it to over with. Knowing that there is X and probably alcohol in his blood I figure it is going to take a little longer than usual for him to finish. I feel him push into me and I try my hardest not to make a sound. The sheet sting against my tender backside, and I know I'm bleeding because I feel my hand brush over dried blood on the sheets as I clench it.

"Moan for me Baby, I know you like it" I don't answer him and he slaps me across the face. I moan his name but I can't keep my sobs from interfering. I keep thinking that someone will walk in at any moment and throw him off of me and tell me everything is going to be alright like in the books that I read but I know that my story isn't that kind of story and there is no hero.

Finally I feel him release inside of me. His grasp on my arms become tighter before he finally lets go and rolls over. He gives me a light slap on the leg and pulls the blankets above him. I lay there in the bed waiting for him to go to sleep and thinking of all the different ways I can kill him but none of the option provide enough justice. Once I hear his snores, I get up throw on my underwear and one of the scattered shirts on the floor, and get out of there as soon as possible.

Luckily the hallway is empty because I realize how stupid it was of me just to grab underwear and a t-shirt but there is no way I am going back in there and risking it happening all over again. I wander around the halls until I find myself at the chasm. I sit down on edge, feeling a small relief of the cool stone against my cuts.

Uriah had to have been talking about the time me and Eric kissed. He must have seen it and thought that I was sleeping with him. I have no idea how he could have found himself in that training room but that is the only thing I could possibly think of that could have been misunderstood.

"What are you doing?" I hear Eric's familiar voice. I didn't realize he was standing there. I try to collect myself and wipe my tears away subtly.

"Nothing, I couldn't sleep" I try to say in a casual voice.

"Were you crying?" He says in an almost mocking voice and takes a step closer.

"No"

"Where are your pants?" He chuckles at me.

"Long story" I stand up and try my hardest to not let him know I am in pain. Eric stays silent as he watches me walk. He catches my arm just as I am about to pass him. He is looking down at my upper thighs.

"What happened? Did Uriah do that to you?" I had forgotten about the cuts and the dried blood. When I don't answer Eric he tries to lift up my shirt in the back to see it better but I swat his hand away and glare at him.

"Sorry, let's go to my place. Where we are not out in the open, then you can show me" His voice is full of concern, unlike usual when it is full of mockery and smugness. I hesitate but eventually nod my head and follow him down a series of halls. He unlocks a heavy metal door and holds it open for me. I walk into his apartment and find it surprisingly clean. I stand awkwardly in the middle of his living room waiting for him to shut the door.

"Would you like to lie down on your stomach?" He asks quietly. I nod my head and walk cautiously over to the couch and lie down on my stomach. Eric stands at a safe distance away from me. "Okay I'm going to lift up the shirt a little bit so I can see it okay?" He asks for permission. I nod and confirm with a small yes. He lifts it up and I close my eyes.

"Oh my god, Rose this is bad. Is it okay if I pull down your underwear to see the cuts above your thighs?" The cool air against my injuries makes them sting a little. "I promise I won't touch you" I nod slowly as he pulls underwear down to my knees for a quick second before pulling them back up. I stand up to avoid contact with the couch. "Rose, you need to go to the infirmary." I quickly shake my head. After a moment of silence he sits down on the couch, "What did he do to you?" I start to feel the tears start to come back.

"Well, I think he saw you kiss me and he assumed we were sleeping together so I when he got home tonight after the party he…" My cries turn into full-on sobs. "He held me down and... Whipped me with his belt" I try to take a deep breath but my lungs won't allow it. "And then once he finished whipping me he forced me to have sex with him." I tuck my hair behind my ear and try to wipe away the tears rolling down my cheeks. Eric stares at my neck. He gets up from the couch and holds my hair back examining the bruising from Uriah's hand on my neck.

"Did he use protection?" I shake my head and start to cry again. "Are you on birth control?" I shake my head again. Eric's face looks pained.

"I can't have a baby, Eric. I don't want kids, I never wanted kids." My sobs start up again. I know I am going to have a huge headache in the morning. Eric lets me cry for a little bit while gently rubbing my back. I would have never imagined Eric being this gentle but then again I would have never imagined myself in this situation either. Eric walks over to the sink and wets a rag with cold water.

"Here lie down and put this on the cuts. I am going to find a way to get some supplies from the infirmary." He helped me onto his bed and left me to get some rest. Soon my tired eyes gave in and I was drifting off into sleep.


I look around the plain room. All it has in it is a bed, a mirror, and a chest in the corner of the room. I then realize that I am tied to the bed and the only thing that is covering me is a thin sheet. The door at the front of the room opens and a woman with one brown eye and one blue eye comes in with a worried look on her face. I feel a sense of relief wash over me for some reason as she approaches me.

"Don't worry sweetheart, I'm going to get you out of here." She starts to untie me from the bed. She hands me a white dress and tells me to put it on quickly, which I do. I notice the woman has a yellow shirt and a grey skirt on. Is she factionless? She leads me out of the bedroom and through this house with several of closed doors that have moans coming from them. Where am I? The woman stops abruptly as we step outside. I peek around her and see Marcus Eaton standing in the yard.

"Rayna, Where do you think you are going with her?"


I feel a gentle shake on my shoulder. As I open my eyes, I see Eric standing over me with a bag in his hands. "I got the stuff" I decide not to question how he got it and stand up so I can see what he got. He pulls out a bottle of prescription pills, a package of gauze, some hydrogen peroxide, cotton balls, some medical tape, and some prescription ointment. "And I got this for you" he pulls the final thing out of the bag and it is a small box labeled "Plan B". I can't help but smile.

"Thank you so much Eric" I open up the box and take the pill immediately.

"Alright I need you to lie down so I can doctor you up" I go back and lie down on his comfortable bed. He brings all the stuff and sits down next to me. "I'm going to pull down your underwear again okay?" I nod trying not to worry about it too much. I hear him unscrew the cap of the hydrogen peroxide bottle and tear open the bag of cotton balls. I suddenly feel the cool liquid touch my cuts. It stings a little just from contact but nothing intolerable. "Are you good?" I nod and hug the pillow more. He then applies the ointment with a cotton ball, puts the gauze down and tapes it with medical tape. He carefully pulls my underwear back up, over the gauze. "Here I got you some medicine for the pain. They will make you really sleepy and nauseous if you don't eat anything with it." I take a couple pills from the bottle and dry swallow them. Eric walks over into his small kitchen, consisting of only a cabinet and a mini-fridge, and finds some crackers for me to eat. "Do you have anywhere to stay after tonight?" Eric asks implying that I should stay there for the night.

"No, Hana gave Max an extra key to her apartment but I don't want to tell him why my sleeping arrangements have changed. I will probably just sleep in the dorms tomorrow until I can muster up enough courage to tell Max." Eric nods taking in the information.

"Okay well I will take the couch and you can take the bed" Eric gets some blankets from the closet and makes his way over to the couch. "Night" he says as he covers himself with the blankets.

"Night" My eyes once again grow tired and I drift off into sleep.
