^^^This is really old I know^^^

Check out my new story "Dauntless Born".

"Pink? Really?" I shake my head at Tayla and walk over to my family.

"You dyed your hair?" Tori asks.

"Only half of it babygirl."

She giggles and hugs my legs.

Mum smiles. "I like it."

Hands wrap around my waist from behind me and I tense until I hear Zaid's voice in my ear.

"Lookin' good babe."

He places his lips on the skin behind my ear which sends a shiver down my spine.

"Ewww! Gross!" Tori screams.

"Really?" Zaid questions. He releases me from his clutches and runs after Tori.

"I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" He shouts as they both weave their way through the hordes of people.

Tori somehow circles around him without him noticing and now stands behind him. I see her make a wicked grin as she launches herself at Zaid's back.

"AHHH!!!" He cries out. "THERES A GIRL ON ME!" Uriah shakes his head from beside me.

"Run before you're stuck with him." Uriah says to me. "He's like a leech."

"At least he won't suck my blood." I joke back then divert my eyes back to watch as Zaid manovers Tori so he now holds her against as she tries to kick and punch him.

One kick hits its target as Zaid let's go of Tori and drops to the ground holding his family jewels.

Uriah, Zeke, Dylan, Tobin and Dad cringe. Almost as if they can feel the pain.

Tori smiles smugly.

I sit waiting for the evil figure I'm supposed to call 'grandpa' calls names.

"Tessa Eaton." I eventually hear.

I stand up and go to push past my parents but Dad grabs my hand.

"Its time he was found out Tess, make him pay." I nod understanding what he means.

I walk down to the stage and stare at Marcus. He holds the knife out hardly even looking at me.

"Oh Marcus, how much you wish to stab me with that." I say earning a gasp from the crowd. "Oh, I am aloud to call you Marcus am I not? Because as far as I'm concerned you're not my grandfather." This of course earns other gasp mainly from Dauntless who've now put two and two together, which literally brings them to four.

"I'm sorry Ms-"

"SORRY MY A$$!" I shout. "Is sorry what you said after you whipped him? After you beat him each night? After you drove Grandma Evelyn to Factionless?! You aren't sorry! You're a monster! What kind of father beats his kids no matter what?"

Marcus' eyes bore into mine. "You have no proof."

"Ye-"

I'm cut off by a voice sounding from the Erudite section. "We have all the proof we need Mr. Eaton. 22 years ago when your son came to Dauntless I recorded a fear landscape of his. That, Mr. Eaton, is your proof." I look up to see Jeanine Matthews. Although she just helped me I still hate her. Darn noses sticking in their noses.

I know its short.

I apologize to those whom have been waiting for this chapter. Recently I've been working my butt off for Wild At Heart. It took me nearly a month, but I finally completed it. I have decided it will be book one of three. I am currently writing the second one. However, the second book -Hearts Run Wild- will not be starting to post until late March. It will most likely be my birthday.
