Timeskip: Home ( 3 A.M. )
Eren couldn't sleep at all. He was staring at the gadget he held in his hands. He decided that he'd check the settings out; perhaps there was something that could explain the weird things that had happened.
'' There it is again..'' Eren thought. After he had pressed the icon called 'About' he read the name again.
''Levi..?'' Eren whispered. The screen flickered once when he said that name. Eren sat up onto his futon and felt his heart beat faster. Was his IPod really possessed?
'' Why are you in here? '' He waited for an answer yet he didn't receive anything. Eren sighed softly and tried it again.
'' Why are you in here… Levi?'' He could feel the gadget in his cool palm turn warmer for a millisecond. He knew that it was reacting to him. Was there something stuck in his IPod? No, that couldn't be. There was no way that—
The IPod started to slide through the homepages. It stopped at the third one, and selected an icon called 'Voice Memo'. The red button called 'Record' was being pressed by an invisible force.
Eren felt the dryness in his throat. He was not able to do anything; he only stared. The recording suddenly stopped. The recording was 5 seconds long. Eren kept staring for a few moments before he decided to check out the recording. He felt his index finger tremble as it slid across the screen in a swift movement. What was he expecting?
'Play recording'
'' …Eren t—''
A deep voice was heard by Eren. Eren threw his IPod across the room and hid beneath his blankets. There was no way that just happened. There was no way that his IPod was possessed. There was no way that the being in his IPod was intelligent. There simply was no way, was there?
'' Stupid brat..'' Levi whispered. He had wasted a lot of energy just to record a message, and that kid was not even listening to half what he'd said. He hated kids, especially wimpy ones like Eren.
'' Get back here, stupid retard'' Levi cussed. He knew Eren couldn't hear him, but what else could he do? He needed Eren in order to escape this electric prison. He sighed and closed his eyes. Somehow he knew that whatever he did, would result in the same thing; nothing.
Eren was scared. He closed his eyes and started to wish for it to go away, something he'd always do when he was scared of something, for as long as he could remember.
'' Go away, please, leave me alone!'' Eren whimpered. He closed his eyes shut and pulled his knees against his chest. He was afraid. Who or what possessed his IPod?
Eren felt his heart almost stop when he started to hear the IPod emit a sound. It was a gentle tune, something that sounded as if it was trying to comfort him. Eren felt his heart slow down as the tune flowed like water through his mind. It was a beautiful piece of music that calmed his mind. Even though he didn't forget about the creepy gadget, it still soothed his fear.
Eren raised his head from beneath the covers and watched how the abandoned IPod lit up in the dark. The song kept playing, as if it was making sure that Eren would keep calm.
'' Are you.. Trying to comfort me?'' Eren whispered, feeling his throat tighten. He didn't know what to say. The Ipod was conscious of its actions, and even reacted to them. Was it possible that Eren had hurt the feelings of whatever being was in there?
'' Y—You're not going to harm me are you?'' Eren said, feeling a bit afraid.
The tune stopped, and the light of the IPod dimmed before it went black.
Timeskip: Next morning, Weekend day
'' I broke the screen…'' Eren whispered as he kneeled next to the IPod which he'd thrown against the wall last night. He didn't mean to break it. Somehow, he felt guilty.
'' Sorry '' Eren muttered as he gently placed the IPod into his palm. He didn't know why he apologized, he simply felt that he had to.
'' I didn't mean to harm you..'' Eren gently tried to wipe a smudge off the broken screen The IPod was still functional; the cracks weren't that bad. As his thumb moved across the cracks, he noticed that a clear red liquid leaked out of his thumb. He had accidently cut his thumb with one of the cracks. The blood traveled between the cracks, and disappeared, though Eren didn't notice.
Timeskip: 10 minutes later
'' This will do it'' Eren sighed softly. He had cleaned the cut and placed a pink Band-Aid on top of it. He had no other choice, Mikasa refused to buy another color.
Levi had opened his eyes for the first time that day. He felt a few drops of liquid fall onto his pale skin. He groaned, and tried to stretch his limbs, but it was no use.
'' I am still stuck in this fucking hell..'' Levi sighed deeply. He fell asleep last night after he had used up all his energy. It was hard for him to try to communicate with the kid. He had scared the shit out of the bright-eyed brat, which made it even worse.
Levi crinkled his nose as he tried to remove the ticklish feeling the heavy drops of liquid caused. He could feel the heavy drop slide down his cheek towards the corner of his mouth. Levi was a curious type, thus he made sure his tongue would catch a slight bit of the liquid, and so he did.
''…'' Levi's eyes widened as he closed his mouth. His eyes shot up to take a good look up at the huge square window; he could see the cracks, the ceiling of Eren's room and something more. Dark red transparent liquid had divided itself evenly in the cracks, which was dripping into the black mass where Levi resided.
Levi tasted the metal liquid in his mouth, spitting it out immediately. Before he started to think about hygiene, he could feel something burn inside of his body.
There was something awfully wrong.
So there is going to be a lot of plot twists, character introductions, and side pairing stuff going to happen. I don't want to rush this story so please stay by me whilst I update this shizzle lol. I have great plans for this fanfic!
