Back to Abnegation

Chapter 7

I have been laying in my bed for what it feels like for an eternity. My mind and body unable to find sleep through the night. Alarm is set to go off in another hour, but I don't need it. Sleep is the last thing on my mind. I need answers, and I need to straighten out this so called life of mine. After we have gone through there is no way that in the end I will end up with out Tris, instead end of with Nita.

At least I can find comfort in knowing that I will be working close to Tris for the next eleven weeks. Since she is the manager of the Volunteer sector of Abnegation, apart of that role is being a instructor. Since it's rear to have even ten initiates for Abnegation usually the manager of the Volunteers and the leader in training are the ones that guide the initiates through this process. We are just a few days shy from Choosing day, which means Tris and I both have to clean and fix and stock both Dorm houses. We have two houses in this sector just encase we prepare both but usually only one is needed. Abnegation isn't a desirable sector to transfer into usually it's just the ones that have been raised that stay with in us.

So many things we took for granted living in Dauntless, Bureau, hell even as factionless, I miss the carefree life. The way things tasted, smelled, felt. Even the comforting sound of music. Something that Abnegation doesn't allow. It makes me realize how lonely this house really is, the only other sound other then my breath is the cracking coming from the logs in the fireplace. I decide it's time for my insomnia to win, I turn off the alarm clock. I shave, shower and change in record time. I wear the typical Abnegation attire of course, loose fitting gray slacks, gray button down shirt, with a darker gray tone vest and gray coat. Really missing the black attire of Dauntless. I start to head down stairs to make myself some tasteless powered eggs for breakfast.

When I hear my front door open. I'm already half down the stairs when I hear the voice of my intruder.

"TOBIAS!" I hear my father yelling in rage, once the front door was closes behind him. Great what the hell does he want?

"Yes, father. Good morning. Would you like some breakfast?" I ask him trying to be the best Abnegation son I am suppose to be. Yea like that will ever happen, first chance I get I'm running for the underground caves.

"Cut the crap, Tobias." He says anger over ruling his tone.

"Yes, sir. What crap would you like for me to cut?" Oh shit did I just say that out loud, I cross my arms in front of me not giving my actions a second thought.

"What did you just say? Do not talk to me like that SON! I will not take that act of defiance!" I notice his face is turning pitch red, and a vane on his forehead has popped out. Some how I take such pride in knowing I made that vane appear there. I fight to hold back my smirk that threatens to appear. I know I have nothing to fear from him. I take a breathe knowing that I am more then physically capable of taking him if need be.

I think back when I took Tris through my fear of landscapes... She didn't hesitate to try and stop Marcus from attacking me. Her small frame confronting the Monster that threatened to cause me harm. From that day forward I knew two things... One I would do anything I needed to protect her from any threat, Two I could take on Marcus if need be. I was no longer the scared, broken little boy that he made me to be. Instead I was desired, wanted, needed and loved by the most wonderful woman ever known to man.

"Do not step out of line again! Now, tell me what you were doing last night BOY! Remember do not lie to me, I have eyes and ears everywhere!" Marcus demands. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves, nothing good would come out if I loose it now. He thinks I am scared and weak, let him continue to think that.

"I was visiting some old friends, Sir. Is there a problem?" I say acting confused.

"You stupid little shit. I told you what I would do if you continue fraternizing with them. I told you they are not worthy of this family." He continues. "I presented you with the fairest, kindest, attractive, and respectable woman in Abnegation, and what do you do? You run to that little Bitch! I will end her if need be, Tobias. Do not push me!" He says inches away from my face.

Realization finally hits me. He is the reason why things worked out the way they did with Tris. He didn't approved there for threatened to harm her, knowing in return I would probably do anything to keep her safe. My blood boils under my skin, almost instantly turning into lava with in my vanes. I can't take it any longer something with in me snaps. My hand finding his throat and slamming him against the wall, just like he did to me all those times as a child.

"Listen to me and listen good. Touch one hair on Beatrice and I will end you. Do you hear me?" I say throwing his own threat at him. "I will end you for good, along with your good name. For years, I shut my mouth, took your torture, your beatings, your poor excuse for being a father. But if you do anything and I mean anything to harm Beatrice or her family... I will go to Candor and with a smile go under the truth serum and testify against you. How do you think you will end up once they all know who you really are Marcus? The man that claims to be the leader of selfless, yet he pays factionless women to have sex with him, the man who beats and torments his own flesh and blood, the man who secretly does things and only things for himself. Do you think you will out live the shame? I will see you rot in hell. Now get out of my house!" I say finally releasing him and throwing him towards the door. I door not to turn away from him until I know he has gone for good.

I take a breath to steady myself when I realize he will not be coming back. Damn Abnegation don't believe in locks on their doors. I will have to start placing a chair against the door from now on, just encase. There is no knowing what Marcus might do now.

I wonder if I can get a Dauntless member to get me a gun? I gotta find Zeke some how or Uriah! Shit! How am I going to protect Tris living so far apart from her?
