AWARE (After Allegiant)

Chapter Twenty Eight - Hungry In The Dark

Tris

His hands are all over me. Groping me.

"Get the fuck off me!" I shout. He doesn't move he just gets angry. His eyebrows crease and his mouth presses into a frown.

"You're a naughty girl aren't you?" He snickers. I cringe at his filthy words. Tears stream down my face. He thrusts into me again. I scream in pain and frustration.

"Please stop!" I squeal after a few minutes. He's not stoping, why won't he stop? What did I do to deserve this?

You killed Will.

My mind reminds me.

And Lynn and Marlene. You're a horrible person Tris. You deserve this.

No I don't. No one deserves this.

"GET OFF ME!" I shout. Mathew stops abruptly. I sigh in relief. His face turns a deep deep shade of red.

"You don't talk to me like that." He growls. Then, he starts again and I let him. I can't fight him, he's too strong for me.

Just wait till he falls asleep Tris, it will get better.

Tobias

It's coming, I can feel it. I don't know what it is, but whoever, whatever it is, it's close. It reaches into my mind sometimes.

'Hungry in the dark.'

It says. When I'm sleeping, when I'm awake, it doesn't matter. It's always there, its presence is always there. Sometimes I can almost see it. It's in the corner of my eye but whenever I turn around to get a better look, it disappears.

I don't know if I'm going crazy, maybe I am. Surely, when your going crazy you don't realise you are right? So maybe if you think you're crazy you're actually not because you think that you are and crazy people don't think that. I don't know, I'm confusing myself.

Tris' looking at me questioningly, like I should answer something she's asked me.

"Huh." I say. She sighs and looks down.

"I asked," She whispers, looking back up at me. "If you're okay."

No.

Is my immediate answer, but it's not the right one. Not the one she wants to hear.

"I'm fine." I say. She looks at me in sad frustration but this time tears well up in her eyes. She grabs my hand in hers and clutches on to it like its her lifeline.

"No you're not Tobias. You've been in and out of deep thought for days. You're not talking to me or showing me any affection." She says.

"I'm not the only one keeping secrets, Tris." I snap. Her eyes widen and a tears trickle down her cheek making my heart break. I don't say sorry though, not yet.

"Just tell me what's wrong and I'll tell you what's happening inside my head." I suggest. She nods and takes a deep breath.

"Okay, I stayed at Mathews while we were, I don't know, apart. W-we kissed, and I kissed back." She says. Instantly my muscles tense. "I don't know what was wrong with me, I was mad Tobias, so mad. An- and then he-" she takes a deep breath. "He took things to far and he, ra-raped me." My fists clench on their own but she continues talking. "I told him to stop so many times but he wouldn't and-" Then she just bursts into tears. Sobbing uncontrollably.

I quickly rip off the blankets from my hospital bed and pick her up swiftly. She sobs silently into my shirt and I hold her close. I know she's still hiding something but I choose not to bring it up. Her head is on my chest, my hand is stroking her hair. I breathe in her scent, vanilla and almond.

Ten more days until Allegiant the movie!

Super short chapter, I'm sorry about not putting up longer ones I'm just not inspired at the moment. I will be making an edited version of this story as well, so the chapters will be longer and more detailed.

Ten days till Allegiant!!!Start writing your story
