Chapter 8
Four's POV.
Yesterday was the day after the initiation party, it was the only day that all the initiates get off for breaking through the first barrier of becoming Dauntless. Today I sit in the middle of my co-workers. Eric my best friend, and Toni, the woman who I just found to be my girlfriend's mother also Dauntless leader. We have set up the machines and they are ready for the initiates. I'm, in a strange way am interested to see what is going to be in Tris' fear landscape, perhaps I can help her with them. Yesterday I sneaked us into this exact room and we visited my fear landscape. I was scarred to show her what my weakness' were but she didn't laugh or snicker at me, she didn't even look at me like a kicked puppy after seeing that my farther used to beat me. She just looked at me with respect and understanding. I am beginning to think there is something she isn't telling me, but every time I try to ask about it I lose my nerve.
As the day goes on and we watch how the initiates adjust to facing their fears we are all pretty pleased to see that most of them have made amazing progress and smashed through the fear that was within them, obviously the fear is still their but now they know what to expect next time they sit back in that chair. Last to appear are the Triplets. First up is Nicole. Tonis gets out of her seat and goes through the steps, filling the syringe and then injecting it into the side of her daughters neck; they both seem discomforted whilst doing that and then Nicole is out.
After seeing her fears, which were mostly to do with spiders or something common like that the machine was projecting another fear. They say that the last fear is the worst, that's the fear that scares you the most and is buried into your brain. Nicole is walking through an Abnegation house. Strange? She goes to run up the stairs but a hand grabs her ankle and she hits her face on a step knocking her out and then the screen went blank. I was so confused as she shot up into her chair looking dazed as all the others did. Toni looked as equally confused as myself and Eric did. But rules are rules and we aren't supposed to talk to people as they have just come out of the fear landscape. Toni opens the door for Niocle and she strolls out. The next person is Rachel, she walks as if she is nervous. Eric obviously wants to walk her through this and be there for her, Toni sits next to me without a word. As Eric injects Rachel and her head lulls slightly to the right we can then see her first fear. It was quite similar to Nicoles. Mainly filled with the fear of something happening to her family or being trapped and then a few other things. All of a sudden she was in the Abnegation kitchen, laughing and joking with Nicole and Tris. As she picks up a wet glass to dry, it slips through her fingers. But strangely you can't hear the glass smash, you see it but the only sound is a heart beat which I expect is hers. Rachel looks to her sisters and they are no longer laughing but cowering back away from her, she turns where a man is standing right in front of her face baring his teeth at her. The sound comes back and the mans voice is shouting at her, then without notice he squeezes his fist into a ball and connects it to Rachel jaw. Again everything goes black.
Toni is shaking violently next to me, what does she know that we don't. Who was that man? Wait that couldnt be- No.
Last up to walk through the doors is Tris, I stand up to inject her but just before she is out I give her a quick peck on the lips. Tris hasn't got very many fears but just like her sisters the darkness comes into focus and she stands in a room with Abnegation grey walls. I hear screaming and she looks over to a closet that is shaking. I can hear her breath speed up as she puts her hand on the handle of the closet but when she has a firm grasp she is greeted by a big black belt that wrapped around her slender wrist. I suddenly realize that the screams from the closets are Rachels and Nicoles. The man from Rachels fear is in this one. He spits in Tris' face and I can feel myself feel sick from anger. "I told you that they were to be punished and for you not to go near that closet. This is what you get." The man says. He grabs Tris' upper arm and stands her in the middle of the living room. "One for each limb." He says to her. The man draws back the belt and slaps it across both her arms and then both her legs. He has done it so hard that they are bleeding; then just to top it off he head butts her and darkness consumes the screen. I stand there in complete shock. It was her dad, it had to be. Tris doesn't shoot up out of her chair like the rest, instead she lies there and I can see a single tear trail down hair face and into her hair. She then opens her eyes not saying a word and walks out of the door.
Toni's POV.
I know that face anywhere. John Creed, he beat my children. That bastard. I can't believe he would do such a thing. I have asked Four, Tris, Nicole, Eric and Rachel to a meeting in my office. They all squeeze through the door and sit on the sofa I have recently got, in front of my desk.
The girls will not meet my eyes and the boys just seem way to angered to even speak. "He beat you. Why didn't you tell us. Me!" I say, my voice going husky from the tears I'm trying to swallow. "We didn't think it was necessary. That was our old life and this is our fresh start." Tris said, fiddling with her fingers. "This can not be left alone on my behalf. I will find him and I will dish up his punishment myself. The only reason I will not murder him is for you three girls." I say looking completely neutral. "Um- Your not going to need to find him. He has already found you." Eric says. I frown at him and the girls heads shoot towards him with a look of worry. "What do you mean?" Nicole said. Eric hesitates and starts to fidget. Then he speaks. "Well, I have been visiting the camera room lately to check up on that group of insurgents from Abnegation. It turns out that they are making their way to Dauntless, I have only just realized that their leader is you threes father. I didn't want to inform any of you because I didn't think it looked to be that big of a deal. But seeing the last footage of the insurgents cross our boarders I think it is about time that you know that they are in our area now. But they won't be able the find out how to get in and even if they do, would they really jump down that hole." Eric finishes. I am angry that he didn't tell me this information sooner, but now all I am to think of is the safety of my three girls. "Listen, we are the highest trained people in war tactics in all of the factions. We will be protected perfectly. We will not search for them, because if we find them first than that means that we attacked them. I will say to just keep you ears and eyes peeled, also do not go around places by your selves." I say. I know it doesn't seem like I am doing much to protect them, but staying in the place they now call home would be protection enough. If they want a fight, then a fight they shall get.
I wasen't a hundred per cent on this chapter, it didn't really seem to grip me. I know it sounds weird because i wrote it but everything in this story was relevent. Please Review and tell me what you thought.
