A/N: here is chapter 3. enjoy
When I got home every weekend I laid down and was asleep in seconds. Marcus ended up asking my mom if I could stay over the weekend since I came home every night when the curfew light was already on. I so did not want to go but if I started to fight it I was afraid of what would happen.
He threatened my family and my friends that if I told her left it would happen to them. Because of this I did exactly what Toby did and stop talking to all my friends. I would have done that to my family but they would have known something was wrong.
It's been 11 months since Toby left. The Choosing Ceremony is only one month away. The lashes have gotten worse and I don't know what's going to happen. The closer it gets to the choosing ceremony the worse it gets. I think it has something to do with Toby's mom and Toby. Toby's mom died a week before choosing ceremony and with Toby transferring as well it just makes him angrier.
I don't think I can live with this for another year. I'm 15 right now and since I'm erudite so I know how to use the computers. I'm thinking about hacking them and registering for the choosing ceremony. I so wish I was just one year older so I could escape this legally.
I never met the person Veronica wanted to add to the group but I know it was abnegation boy. With me gone group finally had everyone get together. We all knew everyone liked each other. And of course the boy Veronica added became her boyfriend. I wish I could still talk to them but I know it will just drag them into this mess.
I finally learned to wrap my back from Marcus. It took me 5 months before I could do it myself. The first day when I got home I hadn't wrapped my back however I woke up and it was wrapped for me. I'm 95% sure it was my brother. He was always hinting at what happened with Toby and became an extra protective when he transferred.
I have to go back to Marcus's house tonight and I'm so scared because of how bad it's been recently. I'm still watching the cameras and I see Toby in the control room in dauntless checking on all of us. I've also been collecting his letters. The only weird thing is he didn't leave me one this week. I've read those letters every time I get home from Marcus's.
I'm still so mad at Toby because he didn't tell me. I would have been safer if I had known. Because we're erudite or well we both were erudite I could have refused to help him. I still haven't stopped training for dauntless. If anything this just made me more determined to get out of here.
After dinner I have to go back and I'm so afraid that I will be more than just lashes. Mom calls me and Caleb to eat so I slowly go downstairs. Marcus is here to eat with us. That hasn't happened since the first day he asked me to come over. It just proves my fears are right and that something is really wrong. I quickly eat my food and tell Mom that I'm packing my weekend bag to take. When they finish Marcus takes me to his house again.
He has me clean until I feel like I'm about to collapse and then he sends me to Toby's room. It's up to 95 lashes now and I passed out. When I come to it's already the next morning. He makes me spend that next day cleaning even more. I had to cook for him and I accidentally burnt his chicken. He said that was my last chance then took me upstairs and hung me by my fingertips from the railing I have been hung there for 30 minutes before he called me up and locked me in the closet.
He said "tonight's going to be so much. You shouldn't have hidden the fact he was giving you letters. You can come out when it's curfew."
So I sat there for 6 hours until he came and got me. When she let me out I had to go straight to Toby's room. Started exactly like normal only lashes. When it reached 80 lashes it stopped and he grabbed his knife. He took his knife and I could feel him carve the word slut into my back. I knew what was going to happen and I could only hope I would pass out.
He picked me up and undressed me before trying me to Toby's bed. Just then my wish was granted. When I came to I quickly showered and dressed in Toby's clothes before running home I wrap my back and then Caleb came in. He finished helping me clean up and then told me to check my emails.
When I looked I had an anonymous email telling me to leave and how to register for the choosing ceremony. It told me to leave today and go by the name Martha Livesly I quickly packed again and wrote Caleb and my mom a note before running to my gang's hideout. I stayed there for two weeks while I registered for the choosing ceremony and Abnegation gave me food thinking I was factionless.
The day before the choosing ceremony I went to. school for the aptitude test. It went horribly. I got sick from the serum. I apparently am a high-level Divergent and Veronica, Eve, and Ophelia all saw me. As I left they tried to follow me but I disappeared into our hideout. I fell asleep for the rest of the day then when I woke up I got ready for the choosing ceremony. I was ready to leave this hell hole. This year we were choosing alphabetically by faction and since Dauntless is hosting the ceremony Erudite is the first to choose. I blank out for most of it only paying attention when I choose and when the girls do. We all pick Dauntless but I steer clear of them. We run out and jump on the train and all I can think is initiation has begun.
The note:
Dear Mom and Caleb,
You will not see me again and for this I am so sorry but do not trust Marcus Eaton and stay away from him if you can help it and please keep my friends away from him as well I know you didn't see this coming and all I can say is that I will keep you in mind and where ever I go I will not die only wait for you but I can tell you I wont be too far and don't be sad I have left and if a Martha Brooks tries to contact you it is because I told her to.
Love,
Your daughter Tris
