I can tell I'm not in my room. I can just feel it. Opening my eyes, the brightness of the room burns.
"Turn these god damn lights off or I will kill someone." I growl.
Someone walks in and turns off the lights, then the room goes silent again. Opening my eyes once more, I see someone standing in the doorway.
"Scar, do you happen to remember anything?" The man asks. He walks closer to me,  and pull up a chair next to my bed.
"Remember?" I ask. I look down to see wires hanging out of my arms. I'm in the hospital? "What happened?" The man, who I finally figured out was the doctor, sighed.
"I'll take that as a no," he pauses and takes in a deep breath,"you were poisoned, and basically died. It's a miracle that you came back." I died? Died from what?
"So I died?" I laugh.
"This is not funny Scar, you did die. Your heart stopped for over 3 minutes. I pronounced your time of death." He says with no emotion. My blood tuns cold. I was dead for 3 minutes.
Tobias. Where's Tobias?
"Where's Four?" I ask. Panic starts to rise, my heartbeat stars to pick up,"where's Four?"
"Scar, you really need to res-" I pick my self up and grab onto his jacket and pull him close to my face.
"I need to see Four and if you don't get him yourself, I will get out of bed and make sure you never walk again, understand?" He gulps and nods his head.
"Good."
When he left, my eyes began to be heavy, and slowly, I fall back asleep.

"Don't turn in the lights, she'll freak out." I hear someone comment.
"Why would I turn on the lights, she hates lights." Another man says. I could recognize his voice from anywhere.
Tobias is here.
"I wish I would have known that before I did. I don't think I've ever been threatened as much in life until Scar ended up in my office." Tobias laughs.
"That's Scar for you." Tobias laughs again.
"Be careful with her, she's still very weak, and may not be able to handle much." The doctor states, then all goes silent.
"How much did you hear?" Tobias laughs.
"All of it." I chuckle.
"Tobias, how did this happen? I thought Eric took care of everything. I remember him saying he would take care of Ryan but this still happened to me. Why?" I sigh. He sighs too and grasps my hand.
"I don't know. But when I say this, I say it with all honesty. He will pay for what he did. He will suffer as you did. I'll make sure of it."
I close my eyes and sigh.
I'm so tired of this. This war between my dad and I has been going on for too long. There has to be a point where one of us wins.
What am I truly scared of?
He'll win this war.

People came in and out, seeing how I was doing and all that. The last person to come in was Eric.
"Scar liste-"
"Eric, it's ok. You tried. Trying is all I want. You don't know what Ryan is like. You don't know the connections he has. I do," I pause and look behind him. The door is wide open. "close the door and lock it." I state. He gives be a confused looks, "Eric, just close and lock the door." I growl. He puts his hands up in surrender, then closes and locks the door. I take a deep breath and close my eyes.
"First things first, don't listen to a damn word that Jeanine says. She's a liar. She'll try and trick her way through situations. You can't trust anyone is Dauntless anymore. You don't know who Ryan has or hasn't talked to. Four, and I are the only two people in Dauntless you can trust. Stay away from from Ryan. He has persuasive tactics. He's physical. Once he touches you, he will never forget and will be out to hurt at any time." I take in a sharp breath and close my eyes.
"Scar, I will make sure he never see's daylight again." He whispers. I nod my head and let the breath I was holding in out. He places his hand on my shoulder, then leaves me in silence. Leaving me to remember all that Ryan did to me. Leaving me alone in my thoughts.
