Love in Dauntless
Chapter 38: Marcus
I am now twelve weeks pregnant and I have started getting a baby bump now, it's small but visible to anyone who knows that I'm pregnant, which is like everyone in Dauntless thanks to Uriah. The amount of attention we get has gone up, a lot. People stop us in the pit or wherever we go and talk to us about Hope and the baby, to be honest it's getting slightly annoying, but we don't say that to them because we don't want too many people to hate us.
Our friends have been great, we told them about Max's offer, about us both being leaders after him, they're ecstatic.
Today neither Tobias nor I have to go to work so we have decided to just spend the day at home, with Hope, watching movies and whatnot. At the moment it is eleven o'clock in the morning and the three of us are sat on the sofa, Hope sits in the middle of us, watching Frozen, for like the millionth time. Not that I mind, of course, it's a great movie, and I love it when Tobias and Hope sing along to the songs. Well, Hope tries to sing along with them but she hasn't quite gotten a grasp on all of the words yet. But it's still cute. It's especially cute when Tobias picks her up and they dance together to the songs, believe me, it's adorable when that happens. Sometimes he pulls me up by my hand and makes me dance along with them, it's fun, although, I'm not that keen on dancing.
So, we're watching frozen, Tobias and Hope are singing (or trying to sing) along to 'Let It Go', when there is a knock on the door. The two of them groan before Tobias pauses the movie, stands and walks over to the door.
He opens it and freezes, but before I can say anything Tobias falls to the ground, unconscious. Hope starts crying, I feel tears pool in my eyes. I pick Hope up and stand as the intruder enters.
It's Marcus.
"Hello Beatrice. Just thought I'd pop by and see how you and my son are doing. Didn't know you had a daughter. Actually, yeah, I did. I beat it out of your parents." He snarls.
"Where are they?" I ask, backing up into the corner.
"Don't worry, they're safe. I just thought we should have a little family reunion. I also have Talia and her boyfriend, Tom I think his name was." Marcus says.
"Don't hurt them." I say as my back hits the wall. Hope is still crying.
"I already have, now I have to hurt you." He says.
"No." I say.
He pulls out a gun, aims and shoots.
Pain. That's all I feel before my world turns black.
Hey Ravens, I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry for not updating sooner. I have had tons of work to do and I have got a cold, I feel terrible. Though, I should be getting a new laptop this week or next week so I will be able to update more often, just not as often as I would like as I still have college.
I'm sorry for the short chapter; I wanted to end it on a cliff hanger.
I know you all probably hate me, I am very sorry.
I will update as soon as I can.
Please review!
P.S. I only did this chapter like this because I wanted some excitement and suspense in the story, also, I kinda had writers block and didn't know what to write, this is the first thing that popped into my head, so I wrote it. I know many of you will hate me for doing this, but no one is going to die, so don't worry. You're just going to have to wait and read the next chapters to see what happens to our favourite family.
Sorry again.
