Chapter 2.
Eren gulp softly as he looked at the school building he was seeing, he took a shaky breath and continued with his way. He tug at his hood so it would hide his bruised face, it doesn't matter what he think or want, after all his life was not his anymore.
Keep your head down.
Don't look anyone in the eyes.
And always do what they want from you.
Simple rules that Eren followed and will continue to follow until he die or be killed, was it from the school bullies for his sexuality, or his family for being an ungrateful child, it doesn't matter to him, he just HAVE to follow them.
Eren Yeager, that was his name. (or the name that the ones who were civilized enough called him with.) He was sixteen years old. (which surprised him how many years he was able to survive.) He stood at six feet (You would think that being tall might scare the bullies off? Then think again, because God know when his bruised body would have time to recover from them beating him daily) Eren just sighs at that. he have a dark brown hair, and teal eyes, and pale skin. The pale skin being from him always been locked in the basement if he had done something wrong, which was always.
Eren just held the strap of his bag tightly heading to his locker. As soon as he throw his stuff there he could head to the class and save himself the bullying that will follow. Eren reached his closet and roll his eyes at the words that were written there. 'Die!', 'Faggot', 'Bitch'. And so on and so on. Nothing was new really. And no matter how much the principle talk with the students his locker was always drawn on. In the end the principle get tired from talking and let it be.
Eren took a calming breath at that and open his locker, only to jump back with a shout as he saw a dead cat in it. the students around him laughed and point at his shaky form, but it was a usual day, it always was.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" yelled Petra. One of the only teachers that still give a fuck about him. after all even the teachers had given up on him. "Eren..? are you OK?!" she asked him softly as she came near him.
NO! he was not OK, he never was and never will. Eren just point a shaky finger to his locker making Petra look at it and gasp in disgust. "EXPLAIN THIS?!" Petra yelled and looked at the students who were whispering, some snickering at the sight.
"Well, teacher. It seems like Yeager doesn't know what respecting the dead mean." Said one of the football players and the ban of Eren's existing. Jean Kirstein.
Eren just bite his bottom lip at that, he was already a half way to his grave, and Eren was sure that the dead are the only ones who even pity him at this point. Petra on the other hand was glaring at Jean with a red face from anger. "Well then, I think that you won't mind another day of detention this week." She said as if it was every day event. Which was ironically an every day event.
"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I HAVE A PRACTICE TODAY!" Jean yelled. Throwing Eren his most hateful glare, like Eren was the reason of his misery. Which unsurprisingly he was.
"It is your problem, Mr. Kirstein. Now unless you want to get this cat out of here, then it is final." Petra said coldly. Making Jean glare at the floor and Eren to fidget softly behind her. looking at his feet like they were the only interesting thing in the whole school right now.
He wondered what kind of beating he will get after school's ending today. Eren then felt Petra soft hand taking a hold of his and dragging him to the nurse office. And like always, Eren didn't raise his head, he didn't know what Petra will do if she saw his face, but he have enough beating and death threats, he didn't want more to be add to the list.
Once Eren was in the nurse office, he saw the school nurse Rico raise her head to look at them, she then rolled her eyes at that. Eren didn't even felt insult by it, after all visiting Rico's office was a daily chore by now, and he was sure that Rico get tired by that too.
"What happened this time, Petra? Someone kicked him? punched him? other things I should be aware of?" Rico asked in a bored voice making Petra glare at the woman before her. "Hey! Don't look at me like that. what am I supposed to do when he come here three times a day." The nurse grumbled making Petra held the bridge of her nose and shook her head at that.
Eren just looked down fidgeting softly at that, he wanted to get out of here. Eren heard the school's bell ring out loud making him press his lips into a thin line. He can't offer missing a class in school or his father will flip. "Mr. Petra, can you write me a note, please?" Eren asked in a soft voice making Petra look at him with a soft frown.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay here for a little while?" Petra asked softly hoping that Eren will stay here until she talk with the principle about doing something to stop the bulling…. Again. Eren shook his head a 'No' at that making Petra sighs softly. "Alright then." Petra said and turn to Rico who had already wrote a note the second Eren had asked them.
Eren took the note and thanked them, then head to his class. He wondered when his life had start had start heading down to hell. Probably since his mother's death. But as always Eren just shrug it off, and tug at his hood until it covered his eyes. It doesn't matter anymore, he knows that he will die soon anyway.
With that Eren head to his class.
EXL
When Eren had enter his class he could feel all he eyes on him and he just swallow at that. Nanaba, his English teacher looked at him and raise her hand, waiting for the note she know that Eren have, Eren give her the note and wait for her to read it. he was never late for class and unlike some of his classmates, he was always on time for school, never slacking or skipping. School was the only place he was allow to be in other then his room if he wasn't locked in the basement.
Nanaba then sighs after she finished reading the note and nod her head to Eren to take a seat. Eren nod his thanks and walked to the back of the class to sit in the only sit available, near Annie Leonhart. They weren't friends per se, but Eren liked to think that they were. After all they talk from time to time and he help her with their classes if she had a difficulty. (They have all of their classes together) that and Annie had thought he was a emo like her from all the black the two of them liked wearing.
Eren took a seat and sighs softly as he took his notebook and dropped his bag to the floor with a soft 'thud'. He then blinked as he saw Annie holding a small piece of paper to him. Eren narrow his eyes and took it opening it to read what was there.
'Where were you?'
Eren hummed at that then sighs softly, should he tell Annie? He was sure that by now the news had traveled all around the school. But it won't hurt to tell Annie.
'Nurse office.'
Eren wrote and passed the paper to Annie and looked forward, mainly to not have Mrs. Nanaba suspicious. But she won't care about what he was doing in the back if he didn't disturb her class. She wasn't afraid of him slacking a little in class, after all he was a straight 'A's student.
Eren heard the rustle of paper and looked down at the paper that Annie had passed him. he smile at that a little, maybe they could be a real friends.
'Jean?'
Eren frown at that name and grunt with a nod making Annie give a soft sigh at that. Eren then looked at another paper Annie had passed.
'Should I kill him?'
Eren's lips twitch up at that, a small smile but it was the first real one since his mother's death at the age of ten. No one had ever care about him other then few, and to see a fellow classmate come to his aid was kind of refreshing.
'I don't want you to hurt yourself.'
Eren pass her the paper and smirk at her raising her eyebrow. He know that Annie have a black-belt in karate and martial art so if she really want she can clean the floor with Jean's face.
'Why? Because I am a girl?'
Eren blinked at that question, he had never thought about that when he had told her no.
'No, that is not the reason. You know that Jean don't fight fair.'
And that was true, after all when Jean fight all of his minions fight with him. Eren had learn that the hard way, when he had fought with Jean one time.
'I would like to see him try.'
Eren give a soft chuckle at that and he saw from the corner of his eyes how Annie smiled softly. After that they turn their attention to the class. And for the first time Eren thought that today may not seem as bad like he had thought.
EXL
After the classes had end, Annie stood up and dragged Eren out of the class, Eren blink at that but followed Annie anyway, they have a free period so what's the harm? Though Eren froze as she dragged him to the lady's bathroom.
"Annie! What the fuck?!" he whispered/shout at her making Annie shush him softly and open the door of the bathroom and looked around. After seeing that no one was there she dragged Eren to the bathroom and close the door locking it.
Annie then looked at Eren and sighs. "Did Jean cause the bruises on your face?" she asked making Eren tense at that and look away from her at the bathroom mirrors, Eren just shrug making Annie sighs once more. "Do you want me to hide them for you?" that made Eren look at her and cock his head to the side in confusion, how would she do that? Annie smiled at him softly. "Makeup." She said and Eren bite his bottom lip at that. should he?
In the end Eren nod his head at that, making Annie smile. He then sit on one of the stalls and lower his hood, making Annie press her lips into a thin line at the condition of his face. but she didn't open her mouth to question him. she just get her makeup out of her bag and throw it near Eren's. with that she got to work.
"Wow, you're hot." Annie said after she finished the final touches, she blink once more as she took Eren's face in her hands. she was able to hide all of the bruises that were on Eren's face thankfully his lips and nose weren't busted or broken.
At that comment Eren snort and shook his head. "No I'm not." He mutter making Annie give him a disbelieving look and drag him to the bathroom's mirror. Eren blink as he saw his face in the mirror and he had to hide his gasp. He look just like his late mother. That thought made him smile a little, Annie was able to hide all of the bruises on his face with the makeup she had, thankfully her skin was pale like him so the makeup wasn't that noticeable. She even styled his shoulder-length hair into a small ponytail at the base of his neck.
Eren hum at that, sadly this was the first time he saw his face without bruises for three years. Even if it was a makeup the hard work that Annie had put into it count, it was the first time someone did something nice to him. "Thank you." Eren mutter as he look at Annie with a grateful smile. That made Annie smile at him in return and nod her head.
EXL
Eren looked at his exam paper with a shocked face, gulping softly in fear, he didn't know what to do, he can't show his face to his father with this grads! His father was going to kill him! Eren took a shaky breath trying to calm himself from another panic attack that was going to happen. Maybe his father will forgive him this time?
"So what did you get?" Annie asked him as she grimace at her paper then throw it at her desk. "I got B+ though it was a miracle consider that the questions were from hell" Annie then sighs at that.
Eren gulp and give her his paper making her blink at that. "A-! Wow, you are probably the only person in this class who had got an A. other than that, everyone had got B or C." Annie said calming Eren down slightly. She was right, he had got an A and that's all it matter.
…
….
…
After the end of the third period Annie had dragged Eren again to the dining hall, Eren usually head to the library in the lunch hour to study. But he didn't know what to do when Annie start dragging him around today. He didn't even know if friends do that. he had never had friends before. Will other then Jean who was his friend once upon a time, but that was before the bastard had changed.
"Yo! Annie you are late!" Eren heard someone said and he raise his head to look at the people sitting around the table. Eren fidget at that, he didn't know what to do. Maybe he should tell Annie that he had to go.
"Yeah, yeah. I had to bring my friend with me." She said making the rest look behind her at Eren. Eren just smiled nervously at them and waved. That made them smile back at him and Eren to sigh softly in relief.
"So, that is Eren you had been talking about." A freckled woman asked making Eren blink at that and looked at Annie who nod her head with a smile.
"Yeah, that is him, but only now did he accept coming here, I had to drag him though." She mutter the last part making the others chuckle at that. Annie then dragged Eren to sit on her right side when she took a seat next to coconut head. Eren flushed in embarrassment as Annie kissed that coconut hard making him moan.
The freckled woman saw that and laughed at him, making Eren grumble and tug his hood to hide his eyes. "You will get used to that. they usually go at it worst then rabbits." At his horror struck face she laughed harder. "Well then, I guess it fell on me to tell you who we are. I am Ymir, and this is Krista, Marco, Sasha, and the two making out are Armin the blond coconut and Annie." Eren nod his head as Ymir point at everyone she introduce.
"Eren Yeager, nice to meet you." He said softly making Armin break his kiss with Annie and look at Eren. Annie grumble at that but was happy that Eren was finally making friends.
"Oh, now I remember, you always sit in the back of the classes we share together." At that Eren looked at Armin hard. Ah! They had chemistry and physics together. Eren nod at that and hummed. Armin smiled at that and then nod his head, he wasn't happy about how Eren was treated by their fellow classmates and other peoples in the school, but every time one of their gang try to stop them from bulling Eren, Eren was already gone by the time they reach him..
"So Ymir. What kind of a story are you going to tell us today." Marco asked making Eren look at him in confuse. At that Marco smiled. "Every week Ymir tell us a horror story at lunch, be it a legend or not, we do it every Monday." Eren hummed at that and nod his head for them to continue.
Ymir smirk at that and looked at them all. "I am going to tell you a story about…. Bloody Mary!" that made Armin gulp in fear and Eren blink in surprise. Bloody Mary? His mother had told him that story once when he was a child.
"You mean the woman that appear after you mention her name three times in front of a mirror?" Eren asked making Ymir pout at that and nod her head. "My mother told me the story when I was a little. Though I don't believe that she is real." Eren muttered making Ymir grunt at that.
"You are no fun!" Ymir whine at that making the rest laugh at them. Eren give a soft smile at that, maybe today wasn't really that bad.
"OI! Gayger what are you doing here?" as soon as Eren heard Jean's voice he had lost the smile on his face. the people around the table glare at Jean and his gang. Eren growl softly as he felt Jean pull his hood away, making half of the dining hall gape at his face, Eren clinch his hands into a fists as he saw Annie push Jean away only for that bastard to try and hit her.
Eren snap at that and stood up punching Jean's face hard making him slam into another table. The dining hall was silent at that as they looked at Eren with shock, Eren had never hit anyone before so for him to attack Jean that had shocked them quite a bit. Jean's gang (Reiner, Berthold, Connie, Marlow, Hitch, and his girlfriend Mikasa.) all looked at Eren's face. it was really the first time that anyone had saw his whole face without something covering it up.
"Stay away from them." Eren said coldly as he glare at Jean and his gang. He didn't know from where this courage had came from, and it was actually scaring him more than anything else. Eren then give a shaky sigh as he raise his hood over his head once more and head outside of the dining hall.
EXL
"ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?!" Eren wince at his father loud voice and look down on the floor, not daring to raise his head. He could head his stepmother Dina sighs and his brother Zeke snort at him. Eren just bite his bottom lip and clinch his hands into a fists, when his father is like this it's better to leave him to rant as much as he want or his punishment will be worst. "A-! a fucking A-!" Eren flinch as he heard his father's loud voice near him.
"You locked me in the basement, I told you I had an exam that night." Eren muttered softly hoping that his father didn't hear him, but as always his father did.
"What did you say?" Grisha said as he crumble the paper in his hand. Eren just looked down without opening his mouth, he had already cause himself more trouble than he can bear today. "I don't care if you had to sleep with your teacher! If the next time you didn't get a full mark then you won't live another second in this house!" Grisha yelled and Eren had to hide his disgust at what his father had said. How could his father say something like this! like losing his virginity to a pedophile was nothing?!
Eren heard his father take a long breath trying to calm himself, Eren just waited for his punishment, if he move an inch he know that he was doomed. "Zeke, me and your mother are heading outside for the night. You are in charge of the house. As for you, you piece of shit! You are going to stay in the basement until midnight." Well… that was a light punishment. Usually Grisha will throw him in the basement for a whole day, sometimes two if it was the weekend. Maybe something good had happened to Grisha, maybe that is the reason why he was in such a good mood today.
Zeke nod his head and held Eren's arm tightly. "Let's go. I don't know how much his good mood going to last." Zeke grunt dragging him to the basement. Eren didn't do a thing, he just followed Zeke like he always do. At least he won't sleep with an aching body today.
When Eren entered the basement he heard the door slam behind him making him grimace and walk down the stairs until he was in the basement. The basement was filled with nothing but old and useless things. That Eren always wondered why they were in here in the first place. Eren just sighs at that and sit on an old couch that Eren was sure was here since the world war two. Eren just sigh as he lay on it closing his eyes, maybe sleeping will make the time run faster?
And maybe not.
EXL
"Ok Eren, I am going to tell you a really scary story!" his mother said raising her hands in front of her and yelled a soft 'Bo!' to scare him making him giggle softly at that and nod his head fast. "It is the story of….. Bloody Mary!" she said making Eren gasp at that.
Then Eren scrunch his nose at that name. "Who is Bloody Mary? Did you know her?" Eren asked softly, he had never heard of that name in all of his nine years old of life.
Carla smiled at that softly. "Bloody Mary was a beautiful boy. He was a carrier." At that Eren 'oh'-ed and nod his head urging his mother to continue. "But one day he fell in love with a farmer and together they married and had a beautiful child." Eren smiled at that and waited for his mother to say more. "But one day! An evil man had show and he had hurt Mary and his family, Mary had saw how his family had been hurt as that evil man took him away because of his beauty!" Eren gasp in horror holding his mother tightly at that. "But it seems like the Gods had took a pity on he. Because later when Mary had been hurt, they Gods case a curse on him!"
"Oh, No!" Eren shook his head in horror making Carla smile sadly at that but nod her head at him and continue with the story.
"Oh, Yes! The Gods curse him to be in a world full of mirrors! And when someone had to say his name three times, he had to show them his face." at that Eren frown at the poor boy, what can Eren do to save him?! "But when Mary find his husband that the evil man had took. Mary will finally be free! But until then Mary will live in that world full of mirrors."
Eren nod his head sad about how the story had end. Poor Mary, he was still in that cold world all be himself! "Who had told you that story, Mama?" Eren asked looking at his mother.
Carla hummed at that with a smile. "Bloody Mary!" Eren gasped once more and looked at his mother for an explanation. "When I was nineteen, me and your Godmother wanted to meet our future husbands. An its says that if you repeat Mary names three time in a dark room in front of a mirror with a candle in your hand. He will show you your husband or wife. So the two of us decided to do just that!" Carla said with a soft smile making Eren nod his head for her to continue. "But Your Godmother had fallen sick the day we wanted to do the ritual, so being the energetic girl I was I did it alone." At that Eren gape at his mother. Wasn't his mother afraid from monsters? "And I met him!" Carla give a sad smile at that. "He was hurt and scared, he told me I look like someone he had known from a long time ago. He then told me his story, and because I looked like a person he knows he show me my future husband, your father. After that I never saw him no matter how many time I had done the ritual." Carla said making Eren hum at that. "OK! Time for bed sweetie. Goodnight." She said kissing his forehead making Eren smile at that.
"Goodnight." Eren mutter as he snuggle into his bed. His mother's story running through his mind.
…
….
…
Eren blink awake at that and sighs as he sit up. He then dry-washed his face and give a soft yawn. Hadn't dreamed of his mother in years, Eren smiled at that softly. He really missed their time together when she will tell him a story. Though in the end she died because of his father, the person she loved the most.
"Bloody Mary…" Eren hummed at that and looked around the light basement, the only thing he was thankful for, was that the basement was light making him look freely around this dump. "It won't hurt trying. I have an hour before Zeke get me out of here." Eren mutter as he look at his hand-watch. With that Eren give a soft smile at that thought and start looking around the place for the items he want.
Eren cough softly as he push some junks full of dust out of his was and he grimace. Maybe this weekend he could clean this place, God know if this place had a dead body hidden in here. Eren give a shout as he tripped on something and he moan in pain as his head hit the wall in the far corner. Eren stood up and massage the spot where he had land just a second ago cursing at the pain.
Eren stood up and looked around the place and blink, it was the first time for him to see this place. He stood up and dusted his clothes and looked around. What he had tripped on was a small flight of stairs which was strange, but what was weird was what lay a little farther away from him. there was a full body mirror that was cracked in one side, but what was weirder the candles that surrounded the mirror. That made Eren blink, it was like a scent from a horror movie, the scent that the witch light all of this candles and start to chant a weird ass words to lay her curse on this land.
Eren just snort at that and shook his head. Yeah, right. Eren then walked closer and get his lighter out of his pocket. He then light a small candle near the mirror. Then he frown, something was missing. He hummed as he back away and carefully head to turn of the light. He snort at how the candle had practically light the whole basement. Maybe he should stop using the lights and start using the candles in here.
Eren then head where the mirror was and look at it especially the cracked side. Was he really going to do this? well he really didn't have anything better to do. And Zeke was late! It was now midnight and Zeke didn't even open the door for him to get out so he doesn't have anything better at this moment.
Eren give a sigh and look at his reflection in the mirror. "Bloody Mary." Eren said slowly and then roll his eyes at that. "Bloody Mary." He shiver as he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on its end. Eren just frown and continue to look at the mirror hard, maybe he should stop, but this was only a game….. right? He gulp at that and give a shaky laugh, he wasn't a scary cat so why was he acting like this now. "Bloody Mary." Eren said fast then sighs as he didn't see a thing. He then turn around as he heard a sound from upstairs it seems like Zeke had return.
Eren then turn to blow the candle but he froze in horror at what he saw in the mirror. In the mirror stood a person other then him with a long raven hair drench in blood. A gray face of a corps, the corps were full of bruises and cut pointing his cut hand at him with the other holding a knife. "E-Eren…?" he heard that hollow voice call him and it only took that for Eren to give an ear piercing scream as he back from the mirror.
Eren trip on the stairs and crawl away. But what happened next made him shrike in horror. The corps lean on the mirror until it get out of it and start crawling to get him. "Eren!" the smile on the corps face as it said his name, was a horror by itself. He didn't know how but he was able to dash to the basement door. He didn't know how he was able to climb the stairs but he did it. "EREN!" every time the corps call him he shiver in fear at the cold breath on the back of his neck.
When he reached the basement door he start bounding the door with his fists. "PLEASE! PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE! ZEKE! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!" Eren didn't care, he continue to bound the door until his hands bleed. Tears were running down his face as he look at the stairs only to see that corps half way throw them. Eren's heart nearly stop at that, he saw the frown on the corps and his heart did stop for a second as the corps point at him, it seems like it only took that for the shadows in the basement to start heading his direction. Eren sob at that and turn to the door, maybe he could break through. "PLEASE!" he screeched.
Only for the door to open a moment later. Eren didn't think, he just pushed whomever opened the door and slammed the door shut. "WHAT THE FUCK?" he didn't hear Zeke's voice, he just locked the basement door as fast as he can and crawl away from it. "Eren?!" Zeke said as he looked at him only to jump as he heard the basement door being bound on.
He was about to head to it only for Eren to hold him back. Zeke jump once more as the bonding continue, but what made him give a terrify squeak was the ear piercing scream coming from behind the door. At that the door cracked in the middle making Zeke fell next to Eren, who was shivering and sobbing softly at how the house's light start flicking. "EREN!" with that the screams vanish into thin air, leaving the two brothers shivering violently at that.
"W-w-what t-the f-fuck w-was t-that, Eren?" Zeke stuttered and looked at Eren, only to see his brother holding his hands on his ears and chanting something rocking himself back and forth. "Eren?!" still nothing, the only thing Eren had done was raising his voice louder and louder until he was screaming what he was chanting. "EREN!" Zeke slapped Eren harder at that making him stop and look at his brother in shock. Eren look at Zeke shakily making the older man shook his shoulders. "What was that?!" but Eren didn't answer him, because after the shock had left his body he pass out, making Zeke curse at that and run to the phone to call for the ambulance.
The sound of a breaking glass went unnoticed.
What do you think?
Oh, shit. Eren was going to lose his mind after that.
And Wow! What a great way to welcome your husband after centuries, Levi.
Never been so proud.
