Crystal's POV:
I watch Dad.
He sits at the table constantly closing his eyes and shaking his head as if he has a migraine.
He suddenly bangs his fists on the table and looks at us.
"Parker. Go upstairs," I tell him.
"Why?"
"Just go."
He nods and scurries up the stairs.
"Daddy. Are you okay?" I ask.
His face is blank and his eyes are emotionless.
"Daddy. You're scaring me."
He walks closer and I back up.
"Daddy please," I say.
I run up the stairs to Parker.
My dad follows me and I slam the door shut in his face and lock it.
"What's wrong with daddy?" Parker asks.
"I don't know."
Dad begins banging on the door.
Parker jerks in my arm.
I hold him close to me as I begin crying.
My dad bangs on the door harder and I the nightstand to the door.
Suddenly, he stops.
Then he punches the door.
"Parker, we are going to the secret room in my closet."
We run to my closet and climb into the secret room and shut the door.
I can hear him punching until the door breaks.
I hear his footsteps as he gets closer.
"Tobias, no!"
Mom?
***********************************
Tris's POV:
I shove Tobias away from the door.
"Tobias, stop," I say. "Please."
He presses me against the wall.
"Tobias. Look into my eyes. This isn't you. This... This isn't the real you."
He looks at me emotionlessly.
"The Tobias I know wouldn't hurt a fly," I say. "Scratch that. He wouldn't hit some he loved on purpose."
I put my hand on his cheek and caress his cheek with my thumb.
"This isn't you, Tobias," I say.
His eyes suddenly soften and he kisses me.
He pulls back.
"I'm sorry," he says.
Then suddenly lets go of me and begins crying.
He's been strong for me and I need to be strong for him.
"I just... Don't know," he says.
"Your dad was controlling you," I say.
"Once. Just once. I want a victory against him. Every where I go, he turns up. I want a normal life with my family without trouble. Is that too much to ask for?"
I hug him.
I hear cackling.
We both turn to see Marcus.
"I finally broke him," he says.
Suddenly I snap and grab the nearest thing I can grab, which happened to be a vase, and I hit him.
The vase shatters and leaving little shards on his forehead.
His eyes roll to the back of his head and he falls backward.
Tobias grabs me and pulls me close.
"Kids," I say. "Stay in the room."
"We have to call the cops to come for his body," he says.
"Yea."
"You okay?"
"Mm."
He hugs me tightly.
"We'll be okay."
