Chapter 45

Narrator's POV

Eric Night

Erudite born - now Dauntless

His many reputations way you down sometime, don't you think?

But no one chooses to be evil; evil is just their way of coping.

Not that I'm saying its the right way of coping.

It all started from a young age where the marital code was still young and love had just a peak of hope. But with the addition of more children with a total stranger; things got out of hand.

"Eric!"

An eight years old Evana calls for her brother as her father slowly creeps towards her.

"Now, now, Farah. No need to call for our son." Edward cooed with a lewd grin.

Evana lets out a piercing scream just as Edward leaps forward; but suddenly she stopped.

Edward night was writhing in the steel grasp of his 10 year old son.

"I knew this day would come," Eric mutters.

Without any words; Eric plunged his knife deep into Edwards back.

From that day on was when maliciousness became attached to fetus Eric's persona.

Stormy's POV

Have you ever wanted to cringe; but laugh at the same time? Yeah, that's how I feel right now.

"Did this seriously happen? Or.." I murmured towards Luke who was also bewildered at the new information we've been given.
Now, I have slightly calmed down and Luke had joined us.

Tobias gave us both a stern look which meant he wasn't playing around.

"Okay," I say slowly; once again trying to process this information. "Teddy's hair was the one we found in the sample...but she's already going to get severely punished because she was the Dauntless prostitute?"

"How did she not get punished before?" Luke asked now intrigued.

"There wasn't any evidence of her doings." Four says with a disgusted tone.

Luke I lightly chuckled knowingly. We totally called it.

I pressed the tip of the beer bottle against my lips allowing the bitter beer to flood into my mouth.

"What else?" I ask Uriah as I leaned into the bars of the chasm.

"I just can't believe Mar would do that. Then again, during the whole process she has been really quite" He tells me. I nodded knowing that 'quiet' was never a label that represented Marlene. I then started to trace the outer lining of the bottle.

"The quiet ones are always the ones you have to watch out for." I quote as my eyes flutter shut as I enjoyed the crashing sound of the harsh waves hitting the rocks of the chasms floor.

"Speaking of quiet ones, have you talked to Noor?" Uriah asked. My eyes flew open as I studied his face. He looked genially concerned which set off panic alarms in my mind.

"What do you mean?" I say slowly as though I was talking to a toddler.
An alarmed expression flashed across his face.

"Uriah..." I spoke in a threading tone.

"I wasn't suppose to say." He says in a rushed tone. "Luke didn't want to add more weight to your situation-"

I ran away from him and towards Noor and Luke's apartment right when the word situation blubbered from his mouth.
The last thing I needed was sympathy for what I had just occurred merely 24 hours ago.

Thump, Thump, Thump

The echo of footsteps pattering against grew louder and louder until a familiar 'click' was heard.

Noor, who was holding a baby bottle, dropped the contents in her hand as her eyes met mine.

"I thought you where dead," Her voice was hoarse from what I'm guessing was tiredness as tears swelled up in her eyes.
"Oh, Stormy!" She cried as her arms enveloped me in a hug.

"Nice to see you too," I croak trying to contain the tears that where just waiting to have a reason to explode. I swallowed the lump in my throat as we continued our embrace.

We pulled away and she lead me into her apartment. As per usual, her house was spotless. {such a neat freak}.

I almost jumped out of my skin as a shrill noise erupted through the living room.

A baby crying

No way...

Noor instantly bolts from her spot and into the room where the noise came from.

I stood there in shock and wonder. Has it really been that long?
The tears that hid behind my eyes once again threatened to spill through my lids. I swallowed them down as I heard footsteps coming towards me.

I gasped as I saw Noor return; however, she was not alone.
She made her way over to me, with the little bundle of joy in her hands.
Peering up at me was the most gorgeous baby girl I ever seen; her skin was porcelain (of course from Noor) she had a heart shaped face with the chubbiest cheeks I've ever seen. What stood out the most was her eyes; they where the shiniest blue (from Luke) along with hazel and red specks around the rims. She was one of a kind.

"Do you want to hold her?" She asked gently as the little girl started to babble. I nodded eagerly which caused her to laugh.

We walked over to the sofa and sat down. Finally, she settled miss precious in my arms.
Her fascinating eyes met my blue ones. I smiled down at her and she returned a crooked smile.

"What's her name?" I ask, not taking my eyes off of the child.

"Thunder Stella Hemmings."

I finally tore my eyes off of Thunder and looked at Noor.

"After her honorable and brave auntie."

A goofy grin spread across my face when I heard the similarities between our names. Just as I was about to speak, another cry was heard. I instantly looked down upon the infant in my hand; she however continued to babble about.

Noor once again bolted from her seat and into her room.
I continued to play with Thunder as I waited for her arrival.
My eyes widened as Noor returned with another blanket.
Okay Storm, stop acting like you haven't seen children before.

"You had twins?!" I ask. She nodded sheepishly while rocking the baby in her hand.

"This is Thumper Nicolas Hemmings."

"Thunder and Thumper," I say; testing the name roll off of my tongue. "I like the sound of that."

We continued to chat about the most randomest of things. It was nostalgic to talk and laugh and joke like this. Thumper has now slept on Noors shoulder as Thunder fights the sleep and keeps her eyes on my moving mouth.

"So, Noor, what's been happening lately?"  I ask after remembering Uriah and his loud mouth self.

Noor has aged since I last saw her. Her bright blood red hair was now dull and lifeless and her brown eyes with red and gold specks where now a dark chocolate brown. She has lost a tremendous amount of weight. I mean, she was thin before but now it was to the point where her jaw line and collar bone where dangerously prominent.

"Wait..Luke didn't say anything?" I instantly knew the blood in her veins started to boil as the red sparks in her eyes started to show. Her anger soon faded into sadness and tear eventually started to run their race.
I adjusted Thunder who was still in my arms and scooted closer to Noor, engulfing her in a hug.

We put the two twins in their cribs and returned to our spots so I could ask the million dollar question.

"What happened?" I ask quietly, already afraid of the answer.

"L-l-Luke," She stumbled with her words. For a few seconds she remained quiet;  gathering herself and her words. "He cheated." She said with just above a whisper.

I didn't need to hear anymore words.

I engulfed Noor and in an instant she fully broke down.

'Some people just can't contain their emotions; they either burst through actions, words, or tears.'
This was yet one of the quotes in my book by my most adored author/quoter.

I managed to contain everything, didn't I?

"It's all going to be okay." I tell her in a soothing tone.

"What did I ever do for this to happen?" She sobbed into my shoulder.

I've always asked myself that same question everyday. Different situations however. I replied as though I was replying to myself.

"Eventually, everything will come to pass."

And from there, we did what any two teenager would do after heartbreak, Eat all the ice cream and sweets that where stored in the fridge

Unfortunately, our time soon came to an end.

"Let me know if you need a babysitter!" I holler as I was walking out of the door.

"Okway!" She yells with a mouth full of ice cream.

Now it was around noon; I slightly felt bed about spoiling Noor's lunch.

Oh well.

I made my way to the canteen where I was suppose to meet Lilly after not seeing her yesterday. My heart stung slightly knowing there was one person that I really yearned to see; Eric.

I'm still getting my head screwed back on with the transmute serum's effects. Who knows when it'll get out of my system.

I walked through the massive gap of the Pit and finally entered the canteen. As I walked in I was greeted by a face I did not want to encounter in Dauntless.

"Hi Stormy." Tessa greets with a sickening smile. I awkwardly smiled back, not wanting to cause anymore trouble.
Confusion was clearly evident in my features because she continued to talk.

"How was your trip?" She asked.

"Good?" I tell her in a question form.
Did she really just say trip? As though I went there voluntarily.

"Stormy." Luke's warning voice was heard behind me.

"Luke!" Tessa exclaims while running up to him and enveloping him in a hug

Wait, what?

'Last night was amazing, love"

I couldn't even believe the information that I've previously processed was done by the person in front of me; especially what I've heard just now.

"Storm I can exp-" Luke begins. I, however, didn't let him finish.

I finished it with one hard smack to the face.

No ones POV

Tessa stored over to the group with a satisfied grin plastered on her face.

"You did well, child."

She nods before walking away to do her everyday necessities
