Me: "Thanks, Amar!"

Amar: "No problem Kat. Now, I gotta get Tori. Bye!"

Me: "Alright, bye Amar!"


Chapter 5

Tori Learns


Six:

"I'll be back in no time, Six," was the last thing I heard Amar saying before he left the apartment, and it was also the last thing I heard before my vision went dark. I knew, at that very moment, I once again fainted from blood loss.


Amar:

I sighed as I left the room, worried about Six. I've never seen anyone nearly cry from being left alone, but I suppose it was due to having finally gotten love from someone. Six's fear landscape has shaken me, she was abused by her father… Marcus Eaton… I always suspected something was up with that man, but god, I never expected him to abuse his only child, and maybe he even abused her mother… maybe Marcus is the reason Evelyn Eaton is dead…

My eyes hardened as I grew angry at the man who abused his daughter and possibly his wife as well. I didn't bother trying to hide my anger as I swiftly moved through the halls. Everyone who saw and possibly felt the anger radiating off me moved aside, not wanting to be on the receiving side of my anger. I stormed into the tattoo parlor where I knew Tori was working at the moment.

I screamed for Tori, ignoring the curious looks and glares from the other Dauntless. "What now, Amar?!" Tori's slightly angry shout rang back through the parlor as she moved away from her station where she had just finished tattooing another Dauntless.

"My apartment. Now!" I called, not bothering to explain to Tori before leaving in a hurry, knowing full well that she'll follow with the knowledge that whatever I need her for is important. I hurried back to my apartment, needing to make sure Six is alright and hasn't bled out too much since I left. I was worried for the poor girl, she clearly hasn't been shown real kindness before, and I know she's afraid of older men just from her reactions towards them in general, not even from her fear landscape, and I know her fear is due to only knowing her father and the way he treated her. I growled at the thought of the way Marcus Eaton treated his daughter.

I quickly arrived at my apartment, ignoring the curious looks of the many Dauntless members gave me. I swiftly entered his apartment to see Six, limp on the couch, blood slowly seeping through her new black clothes. I growled once more and lifted up the girl, finally realizing how light the girl is compared to anyone else I've known. I lifted up Six and took her to my room, laying her down on her stomach to avoid causing her more pain to her back.

I heard the knock on his door and knew it was Tori, "Come in, it's open! I'm in the bedroom!" I called out, voice stern and laced with worry for the girl laying on his bed.

Tori entered the room and gasped, "What happened to her?" She asked, worried for Six.

"It's not my place to say, but I need your help taking care of her. Six's back is bleeding terribly, but she's afraid of older men. I knew you of all people won't question what happened and would just help." I explained, still looking at the girl bleeding onto his bed, "Help her." My voice broke as I whispered those last two words.

Tori pushed me out of the bedroom and then went back in just to see more blood slowly seeping through Six's clothes and quickly shot into action, ripping off the girls top. Tori unraveled the bandages that wrapped around Six's entire upper body just to find old and new scars, cuts scabbed over or already healed and cuts reopened. She grimaced at the sight and quickly grabbed the first aid kit that I had already taken out before she got to work on cleaning up the many bleeding cuts on the girl's back. Tori numbed the girls back and gingerly cleaned each cut and stitched shut the ones that seemed deeper than the rest. She wrapped the wounds, making sure it was tight enough to keep the pressure on each wound, but not tight enough to cause any more pain than Six would already be in. Tori replaced her shirt and left the room to join me as I sat on the couch.

"How is she?" I choked out, trying to hold back my anger and resentment towards the man who had done such a thing to his own daughter.

Tori sighed, "She's fine, physically, I'm not sure about mentally. She was abused, wasn't she?" Tori asked, piecing the pieces together as if they were a puzzle. I just simply nodded, having known Tori would figure it out quickly, "That explains a lot. During her aptitude test, I told her she got Abnegation, but she seemed to panic at the thought of going back. She told me to change it to Dauntless like she knew she was going to come here rather than anywhere else." She went on to explain.

"It does explain how she seems to have a bit of a… dare I say, psychotic… defensive act." I added, "Did you not notice how she reacted to Eric's scrutinization? She grinned and it looked sadistic like she was ready to tear someone limb from limb while they were still alive." I shuddered at the memory of Six's grin when Eric had scrutinized her for being Stiff when the initiates were at lunch in Dauntless for the first time. "She also has slight Androphobia, she looked like she was gonna bolt when I brought her in here… But she looked even more afraid before I left to get you… Poor girl hasn't felt any form of love in such a long time that she's scared to be left alone after being shown that someone cares about her…" I choked out, remembering the look of fear that had crossed Six's features before I had left.

"Yeah-" Tori began but was cut off by a groan emitting from my bedroom, indicating to us that Six was finally awake.


A/N:

I know, I know, short chapter, and I'm sorry, but I didn't know what else to write while in Amar's POV. I also don't want to just switch the POV in the middle of the chapter, it kind of annoys me when some authors do that. Along with that, unless I say otherwise, the story is going to be in Six's POV. Again, sorry for the short chapter, but I promise, the next chapter will be longer than this one was. Hope you guys enjoyed and have a great day!
