Inferno's POV

It's been about a week since I was attacked. It's been a week since I lost my children. I have been so depressed. I've barely left Eric's apartment. I left I want to say about once to do my final simulation. I'm a member of dauntless now but I just don't feel happy at all. Eric only leaves to go to meetings and he comes right back for me. I just feel like he's getting tired of me acting like this. It seems to me that he's gotten over it. I look up from his bed and see him walking out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and his wet curly hair dangling in front of his eyes. "Are you okay?" He asks putting on some boxers on and a pair of shorts. I sit up and rub my eyes. "I'm getting better." I say standing and looking at myself in the mirror. My face still has a bruise but it's barely there. I left up my shirt and see my bruises on my stomach. They're still a darker blue but it's getting better. My busted lip is healed and just a small scar. Eric comes behind me and hugs me from behind. "I definitely feel better physically. Still sore but mentally I just feel empty. I lost my babies." I say sniffling. He nods and kisses my head. "I understand my love. I feel exactly the same but you know if they survived all that they would've probably been in so much pain in your belly. They aren't hurting at all." He says hugging me tighter. "I guess you're right." I say closing my eyes. "Are you getting tired of me?" I ask as I lean on him. "No love why would you think that? I understand you're mourning but I do think it's time for you to come out and see everybody. A lot of people have been asking about you." He says kissing my cheek. I nod and walk away get some clothes.

I put on one of Eric's shirts that is too small for him and it fits me pretty good. A pair of leggings and my combat boots. My hair in two braids and my ring. We ended up postponing the wedding for a bit and we'll be continuing our planning soon. I walk into the living room area and see him in the couch. "Ready beautiful?" He says grabbing my hand. I nod and give him a small smile. We walk out of the apartment and head to the cafeteria. I smile at everyone who says hi to me and say hi back.

We reach the cafeteria and when I see a familiar face my blood just boils. Peter and Molly aren't there but Abby is. Eric doesn't notice so I slip my hand out of his and ignore everything. "Inferno." He says as I just run a full speed towards her and Eric tries to grab me but it's too late. I run towards her and before she notices I push her down and just start beating the life out of her. She doesn't fight back. Instead she grabs one of my braids trying to rip my hair out. I sit on top of her waist and just keep punching her in the face. She starts trying to kick me but fails. Her blood all over my fists and my ring. Oops. Eric runs over trying to pull me off and Max is also trying to pull me off. Just as I am about to be pulled off of her I grab a fist full of her hair dragging her with me still punching and kicking her. Some people are still trying to pull us apart and some are just standing there staring. Eric is holding my arms to keep me from hitting her and Max has my legs. But in my hand I still have a fist full of her hair and I will not let go. I don't care if pulling hair is a pussy thing to do. I got a couple good punches in and she pulled mine first. "Let her hair go please." Eric whispers in my ear still holding me. I don't listen I just keep my hand tightly shut and I don't even realize it but I'm crying. I'm just so pissed. All of a sudden someone come in rushing trying to hit me and it's Molly. A few people pulled Abby away and I shake Max and Eric off of me and just start fighting Molly now. Eric comes again trying to break us apart and other people get in trying to pull Molly away from me. Eric finally gets a good grip on me and just pulls me to Max's office. "Put me down Eric." I say calmly and he ignores me. We arrive at Max's office and he sit me on the chair. He grabs a towel and wets it. He takes my hand and just starts cleaning my fists. "I'm sorry." I say looking at him. He doesn't look at me or say anything. "Please look at me. I didn't mean for that to happen something just came over me." I say. He sighs and looks up at me. "It's okay. I understand. I knew something was gonna happen. And when I see Peter well I might kill him." He says looking back down and finishes cleaning my hands. He takes my ring off and cleans it really good. I put it back on and we wait for Max. He sits at his desk rubbing his temples clearly irritated. "Okay Inferno. I understand why you did it. But they're saying that you started trying to fight them last week.  Is that true?" I stare at him with my eyes open wide. "No. What happened was that I was walking to a shop. I wanted to go get Eric a present to show him how much I love him and out of nowhere when I walk over the bridge above the chasm someone hits me over my head. I fell down and they all just went to town on me. Max you know I don't start anything with anyone. You and Eric know me the most. I just felt that I needed to do something Max. They killed my babies." I say starting to cry. Eric holds me and Max nods. "Inferno I do believe you but I need to get their stories as well." He says quietly. I nod and Eric puts on a cruel blunt face as usual and opens the door. I see the three of them sitting there Abby's face and hair fucked up. Molly's face just a little swollen. Peter no scratch on him. Eric sits me down and grabs Peter by his collar dragging him into Max's office. "If I hear one word come from any of your mouths I will make you pay." Eric says looking at Abby Molly and me. I look down and play with my ring. Peter comes out and Eric drags Molly in. The same thing happened with Abby five minutes later. We're all called back into Max's office. I walk in last and stand next to Eric with his hands on my shoulders. "Now, you're all receiving punishments. Eric and I talked it over already." My heart stop and Eric gives my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Molly, Peter, Abby. You guys are guilty of murdering two children.." Max says as their eyes widen. "By law we could punish you by death but that's just too easy.  however. From here on out you will live factionless. You are to retrieve your things and leave immediately." Abby starts crying and Molly just rolls her eyes. "How do you know. This bitch could be lying." Peter says pointing to me. "Hey!" Eric screams biting his lip. Max gives Eric a look and speaks up. "You're stories were all different. I know you're all lying. Inferno would never try to start a fight or try and push you in the chasm with out a reason." Max says they all just hang their heads in sadness. "Escort them out." Max says to a guard and he nods. They leave and I run to the table to hug Max. He hugs me back tightly and smiles. "Thank you." I say crying. "My children have justice because of you." Eric say with a tear in his eye. I part with Max and Eric hugs him tight. I smile and fix my braids because they were being pulled and Eric smiles at me. "Let's go." I say as I grab his hand and walk to the cafeteria yet again but this time in piece.

As Eric and I eat Max walks up to the ledge and stares at everyone waiting for them to be silent. "As you all know our initiation this year is finally over. We have many new members of dauntless. I would like all of you to stand." I smile and stand proud. "We are so grateful you all trained hard to earn your position here. You're jobs are to protect our city and each other. Make us proud." He finishes. Everyone applauds Max and before I know it Eric picks me up and I'm being passed back in the crowd. When I reach the end they set me down gently and Eric comes to find me. I smile and walk up to him hugging him tightly. "I love you asshole." I say seeing his dick face in action. "I love you too brat." He says leaning down and kissing me gently. I pull away and drag him out of the cafeteria. "Wanna get a tattoo? I know what I'm getting." I say holding his hand. "Actually yes. I've been meaning to go in there." I smile and walk in seeing Tori there. "Hey how are you?" She asks hugging me. "I've been better but I'm definitely getting better." I say hugging her. "So you getting a tattoo?" She asks and I nod. "Could you do the inside of my ankle? Little baby feet and under neath it the words. 'I will always carry you.' Please." I say. She smiles and nods. "Anything for you. It's on me." She says hugging me once more. "Anything for you Eric?" He nods and speaks up. "I was going to do little angle wings and baby feet on my right rib cage." He says with a soft smile looking at me. I smile and kiss him gently. "I'm seriously so sorry for you guys. I love you both to death." Tori says hugging the both of us. Okay Tori may be my favorite person at the moment.

I got to the back with Eric and I'm first. I sit in the chair exposing my inner ankle. She gets the work and close my eyes leaning back. It doesn't even hurt it just feels like a little pinch here and there but I don't even care really.

After about 30 minuets she finishes and I look at it with a smile. "It's beautiful." I say and she smiles putting a wrap on it. I stand up and Eric takes off his shirt and I smile looking at him. Tori gets to work on his and he just sits there with his arm up. I love all of Eric's tattoos. Tori is amazing at this. Eric groans and I'm assuming she went over a sensitive part like a bone. I sit next to him and he grabs my hand. "Be a man." Tori says laughing and i giggle along with her. He rolls his eyes and squeezes my hand here and there. I look at his other hand. It's still broken but it doesn't bother him that much. I can't help but think about all we've been through this last week. I hope we don't have anything else happen like this again.

Tori finishes about 45 minuets later and I look at it in awe. It is so beautiful. I can't help but start crying. I walk out of the room and Tori follows me. "I understand it hurts." She says pulling me into a hug. "I lost my child a few years back. It took me a while to get over and I'm still not over it. I never will be but I just have to understand and tell myself he's in a better place. You little ones are too. You will be a great mother. I promise this will get easier Inferno." She says hugging me and I hug her back tightly. Eric walks out and kisses my head. "Do you do piercings?" I ask calming down a bit. She nods. "Yeah whatcha want?" She asks. I've always wanted this done. It's so cute. "My tongue." I say enthusiastically. She widens her eyes and so does Eric. I smile and go sit in the chair. "I'm waitingggg." I call and she laughs coming to the back. Eric slowly follows and Tori sits in front of me. I stick out my tongue and she clamps it down trying to get a good grip and takes it off drying my tongue again. "You need my hand?" Eric says and I shake my head. "She's a tough bitch. Shes got this." Tori says clamping my tongue again. I nod and she takes the needle and sticks it through. It's not even that painful. (It's really not. I got mine done in October ☺️) she puts my bar in and screws the ball on. I put my tongue back in my mouth and smile. "You're gonna talk funny for a while and it's gonna be swollen. Suck on lots of ice. And no. Oral. Sex." She says eyeing Eric more than me. I nod and she smiles. "Oh and don't like tongue kiss for a while it's gonna hurt and germs. Just do a quick peck." She says. I nod. Eric grabs my hand walking out thanking Tori. "You had to do the tongue? I just want to be able to kiss you." He says complaining. I smile and we head to the apartment.  I smile and open the door. I go to the freezer, grab a cup of ice and go sit on the couch putting in a movie. Eric smiles and sits next to me. I take my shoes off and put my legs on top of his thighs. "Ah you thing you run this shit?" He says holding my legs. I smirk at him with my ice cube in my mouth he holds my feet tightly and begins to tickle me. I start laughing ad crying at the same time. "Take it back." He yells laughing at my helplessness "o-okay!! I'm I'm Sorry!" I yell crying and laughing. He smiles and leans in planting a small kiss on my lips. I smile and we just watch movies the rest of the day.
