** I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS, BUT HOPEFULLY I'M DOING SOME SORT OF JUSTICE. AGAIN, GOMENASAI FOR THE EXTREME DELAY ON THIS CHAPTER. **
Levi ran for what seemed like hours. Jumping from one building wall to next, sprinting rooftop to rooftop at top speed with Eren holding on for dear life.
"Why are we not using the multi axial gear?" Eren asked in-between trying to catch his breath.
"Because the gas would give us away. you ever pay attention?" Levi started to get annoyed at the fact that he could have saved up so much energy and time if he had used the manoeuvre gear, but he was right, the gas would give away their position.
They reached the back entrance of the library within two hours, hiding behind some bushes. Eren tried to get off Levi's back but Levi gripped him tightly.
"Wait, there are Military Police at the door. Stay here. I'll take care of them, as soon as I give the signal run to the door." Eren nodded in agreement as Levi removed him slowly off his back.
Levi stalked up to the door, the two men fully aware of who he was immediately saluted, he walked up to them, grabbed their heads and smashed them together, knocking them out temporarily. Levi glared back toward Eren and he started running for the door as fast as he could. The moment he reached the door Levi grabbed his arm and pulled him inside shutting the door behind him.
"We don't have much time, so no questions OK?" Eren nodded, not really understanding, but fully trusting in Levi's order.
Eren lifted the hood of his jacket over his head and kept his face low and hidden. Walking through the library he noticed that it wasn't much of a library as the shelves looked almost completely bare. There was dust everywhere, spider-webs covered dark corners and the air was damp in the dimly lit environment they were walking through. They stopped at a very old looking door after winding through sections of the library that felt like a maze. Levi pushed the door open to reveal a staircase that led to another door. They walked down and reached the door stopping abruptly Levi looked at Eren with a serious expression on his face.
"Remember, no questions." Eren nodded slowly, he had no idea what was going on, the gears in his head were on overdrive trying to figure out how this person hidden underneath the library was going to help him.
Levi sighed seeing the look on Erens' face. He took out a key and unlocked the door, pushed it open and ushered Eren in locking the door behind him after he entered. He took Erens' hand and walked him over to an area of light in the darkness. There was an operating table and some medical equipment on a small table next to it.
"Take off your shirt and jacket and lie down, I'll be back shortly."
Eren did as he was told and laid upon the unclothed table, shivering as his skin met the ice cold steel. He lay completely still, staring up at the ceiling. He clutched the key resting on his chest thinking of his father, his heart ached as he wondered if he was still alive. Suddenly the image of the day the Behometh's first appearance came into his head and wandered toward his lasts moments with his mother. His eyes started stinging as the tears were forming, he tried to bite back a sob, but his heart was so smashed at the red images that flashed through his head.
"Eren…This is a friend of mine." Levi pointed to a dark figure standing behind him.
He immediately snapped out of his depressing memory of his parents and tried to make out who was standing behind Levi.
The figure walked up to him and grabbed the stethoscope to listen to his heartbeat. He grabbed a needle and took some of his blood and examined it for five minutes at another table. Erens' mind was racing with questions, but remembered that Levi basically told him to be mute. The figure got up and walked over to examine his eyes. He took a scalpel and cut Eren deeply on his left arm and held a watch to see how fast Eren would heal. After three full minutes the cut was barely a scar anymore and the figure walked away writing away at a piece of paper. Eren was getting restless, the table he was lying on started to feel uncomfortable and he was really hungry. He was also very curious as to who this person was that never seemed to show his or her face as they have always managed to keep it out of the tiny amount of light that floated through the dark room. He watched as Levi strolled over to the figure and tried to make out what they were whispering but couldn't hear anything as he dared not get off the table without Levi's permission.
"Ok Eren you can put you your clothes back on. Go wait at the door for me once you're done" Levi said from across the darkness.
Eren grabbed his shirt and buttoned it up slowly watching Levi and the figure disappear behind a wall. He grabbed his jacket and made his footsteps sound like they were heading toward the door before he tip toed as silently as he could to stand behind the other side of the wall.
"Levi, you need to keep him safe. Right now he is fine, but his molecules are unstable and he might transform and wipe out the half the city and its civilians again. They are still trying to recover some of the bodies from the rubble but for now keep him calm as anything that could upset him deeply could trigger him to transform."
"What about me…" Levi trailed off.
"You'll be fine. Just make sure that you keep taking your medication. The episodes should stop after a week. You should be able to control your abilities fully from then onwards. The injection was a very diluted version of what I used on Eren."
Erens' blood ran ice cold. What had he just heard.
"Tou-san?!" Eren gasped, but he did it too loudly. His heart was racing at an extremely fast pace by which time Levi had noticed and rushed toward Eren and tackled him down.
"Eren, look at me, calm down."
The figure walked in and injected him with a strong sedative. Eren felt his bodily functions switching off and his vision blurred as Levi picked him up and headed for the door. Eren saw a glimpse of the figure in the dim light. His heart stopped as the blurry image of Grisha Yeager stood there before he was swallowed by darkness.
