Four's Pov
"Tobias get down here now!" Marcus's bellowing voice rumbles through the rooms.
This can't be good. I cautiously make my way downstairs, aware of every detail that's going on.
"What is this! I'm gone for two weeks and I expect to come back to this house spotless. What do you think this piece of dirt is doing here!"
"I, uh..." All of my confidence diminishes and I'm left with nothing to say.
"You damn well have nothing to say. There is no excuse for a single messin this house." Marcus's eyes are as ferocious as ever, and the beating begins.
Each lash become more painful than the worse, and old scabs rip open. I can already tell that red welts will form on my back and won't be healing anytime soon. All I can be thankful for is that it's the weekend so I don't have to go to school risking someone finding out.

Tris's Pov
As I walk inside my home I can already tell something is off. The smell inside is so foul that I want to gag. As I make my way into the house, I'm not yet finding the source of the problem. The closer is get to the kitchen, the worse the smell gets.
"Dad!!!!!!" What I see immediately makes me fall to the ground. My father's lying on the floor immobile, with blood flowing down his stomach.
"Wake up!!!!" I desperately try to get him to wake up. This isn't real, I tell myself, this isn't real.
I jolt awake in a sweat. I keep telling myself that this isn't real, that it never actually happened, but oh was I wrong. Experiencing everything firsthand was the most traumatic thing that's ever happened to me, and not knowing who killed my actual father kills me even more. The police and detectives say that there's no trace of evidence left behind, but how could someone commit the perfect crime by murdering my father? Why?
