Broken

CH. 7

You guys are soo amazing, Thank you all for your kind words and support for this story. I really worked hard on it, I tried to put as much detail and care into each situation. I also tried to handle it delicately, that is why I put the author's note at the beginning. Remember you are loved. Peace Ace!

I stand up to run away and he pull the neck of my dress causing me to slam on the ground, he presses his knee into my back to keep in place while he ripped the back of my dress open, he pulled my hair back only to slam my face down on the hardwood. I could taste blood and felt so dizzy I couldn't move.

I heard the sound of something being swung before fire licked my skin, I screamed, hit followed hit. I could taste blood in my mouth, from biting my lip

"I want you to count them Emma" my father grunted as he hit me again

"1" I cried out

Sworp!

"2"

Sworp!

"3" my voice growing weaker.

I cried in pain as I continued to count, but instead of stopping at 10, he kept going, I had screamed so much, I just moaned each time the crop touched my skin.

"50" my father finished for me.

Some of our neighbors came to the door, and my father put on quite the show crying how a factionless man had broken in and beat me. I was in such pain I couldn't respond and tell them he did it, I felt my eyes close.

I jerked upright, I looked around wildly before realizing I was safe, I laid back down wincing a little as I can feel the phantom pains of the whip. I steadied my breathing when I noticed that Eric was holding my hand, I looked at him and his gaze was soft but then he drops my hand. I frown and was about to ask him why he let go

"Get out" he barked going back to the monitor.

"Fine" I snap at him before I stomp out of the room.

"Shade?" I hear Jade call after me, I just shook my head making my way back to the dorm.

I changed into some workout shorts, a sports bra, tanktop and some hand wraps, all dauntless issued of course. I threw my hair on top of my head and headed down to the gym. I turned the sound system on and a loud rock song came on. I rolled my head back and forth and worked my arms back and forth ignoring the tenderness in my back.

Something is wrong with Eric, first, he wants to break me and kill me, then he's saving me from beating my father to a bloody pulp, then we're practically going at in the showers, then he's chatting with some other chick, the next he's holding my hand looking like he cares. I scoff as I begin my assault on the bag.

He's no better than my father, he uses women to get what he wants, all the flirting he's done with me means nothing, if he wants me to join his harem he's got another thing coming.

He's trying to get in my head, he's trying to do exactly what said, he's trying to break me. When I told him he can't break me because I'm already broke, he stood there like I had genuinely shocked him. I've heard rumors of him getting close to people only to sabotage them.

Well, not me...

A searing pain shooting through my hands brought me from my thoughts, I look and the outside of the gloves were stained red with blood. I brought my shirt over my head and my wiped my sweat. I was along so it didn't matter that my back was partially exposed. I walked to the bench and removed my hand wraps, opened a bottle of water and rinsed my knuckles off, before taking a gulp, I start running laps around the room.

"Knew I'd find you here" a deep voice boomed from the other side of the gym, I came to a skidding stop.
"Trust me, you're the last person I want to see right now" I put my hands on my hips breathing hard, then I remembered my back was exposed. I wasn't alone anymore, my towel was right next to Eric, I was trapped.

"Are you giving me lip Initiate?" he asked half amused half mad
"I'm not giving you anything" I replied
"Get down and give me 25" he pointed to the ground
"I'm not doing it" I crossed my arms.

I noticed his eyes ogling my exposed body, I purposely put my arms beneath my chest making my already noticeable chest more prominent, his gaze turned to hunger and he licked his lips.

"You will do as I say" he yelled stalking towards me.

I planted my feet firmly, rose my chin in defiance and yelled "NO I WON'T" back to him.

His steps grew heavier as he sped up, I clenched my teeth and bared them showing him I wasn't afraid, he tackled me to the ground, air whooshing me from my lungs. He pinned me down with his body so that he was resting between my legs. His teeth were now bared and a growl escapes him, his hand found my throat and lightly squeeze, I also felt him hard against my thigh.

"Does this excite you?" I growl back through my teeth
"You have no idea" he growls back before sinking his teeth into my shoulder, and then licking the wound.
"Does this make you feel like a man?" I grab his hair pulling his head back
"I am...ALL...man" he growled, he accentuated the word all with a thrust of his hips, I brought my lips to his ear and bit it, he cried out and started to unbuckle his pants. I took this opportunity and kneed him in the groin and rolled us over, he cried in pain.
"You wanna break me, kill me?" I lower my face to his grabbing his jaw with my hand and planting a rough kiss to his lips.
"Oh yeah I do" he growled in pain before he brought his hands to my back and froze as he felt the thick skin of the scars.

His fingers trailed along my back almost as if he were counting, I knew how many they were 10. I watched him closely as the realization hit him, all traces of desire gone from his face, it was replaced with sadness.

"Someone already beat you to it.Cupcake" I say before placing a gentle kiss to his lips and standing up, no longer worried about him seeing the scars, I walked to my bag and put my tanktop on and begin walking back to the dorms, I heard Eric calling my name before I left.

I stepped in the shower, it was almost freeing not worry about someone seeing my scars if they want to ask questions find then let them, I'm not answering them. They aren't reminders of my past, they are reminders of a time when someone tried to break me...and didn't.

Sorry it's short, but when the revelation I figured it was best to make it a tad short.
