Chapter 4 here we go
We need to go, we need to go, we need to go.
That was all that was running through my head.
We've never been into close contact with them! What were we thinking, coming here?!
We didn't have experience when it came to talking to them, we're researchers we sit and study them from afar.
He read my memories. He read my motherfucking memories. Who even is this kid?!
Eren, I think that was his name.
I sent a message back to the lab to try and look into a kid named Eren.
"Extraordinary..." Hanji said.
"Extraordinary?! He read my memories! This kid is dangerous! We have to go!"
"Now Levi, calm down. We were told weird things like this are bound to happen. We just have to ride through it and move on. We have two weeks here, we'll make it through."
"Calm down. Calm down. Calm down?! Are you insane! I'm going, I'm not staying here. I want to go home where my memories remain in my head!"
Erwin gave Hanji a look and she stood forward and slapped me across the face.
"Shut the fuck up short stuff. We're here for a reason and we're not going to just leave because of one kid!"
I sent her a glare but I shut up.
"Now, I say we go into our own rooms and get a good nights sleep to wear off the shock. We're all going to be fine, okay?"
I mumbled out a good night and left the room.
Once in the corridor I looked around carefully making sure nobody was there.
I carefully made my way across the corridor, every few seconds checking around to make sure nobody was there. My heart was pounding and my hands wouldn't stop shaking. In all of our research we had never come across anything like this. We'd never heard of any of these kids being able to read memories, they were different because they could kill with just a thought. That was what made them different and that was what throughout the years scared people. But reading memories? This was a whole new thing entirely. I was scared, no I was terrified. Normally with these kids I'd hold my head up high and show them that I wasn't scared of them. But this time I was.
As soon as I reached my room I quickly unlocked it and ran inside. Shutting the door as quickly as possible and locking it.
I slid down the door and sat there until the pounding in my chest calmed.
I stood up and was just about to get into bed when I heard footsteps again.
"We could just take them you know."
"Jean, no. Eren's already said were just gonna let them do their thing and go."
"Who made Eren leader?"
"You wanna go against his word then be my guest, although when your beaten and bloodied I will most definitely tell you I told you so."
There voices faded as they carried on walking.
Eren. I needed more information on him. He was clearly a leader among these kids, but because of fear and power. I was already planning on calling for more people to come here, that way there would be more hope of capturing a kid and maybe even taking them back to study. I know that what I say sounds horrible but with these kids you can't treat them like an equal. They'll kill you the first chance they get. This kid, Eren, seemed no different. Our whole world lives in fear of these kids, these kids that seemed totally harmless but weren't at all.
We first became aware of it when the murder rate started increasing rapidly, specifically in London. More and more people were getting murdered, particularly over the age of 30. So people were sent to find out what was causing these murders and what we found blew them away. Kids. Just kids, normal kids just sat there laughing. After speaking to some of the weaker, more vulnerable ones we found out that these kids had no clue what they were doing. Just that when they got mad they found the people opposite them getting hurt and often being killed.
Eventually the kids that would talk we're killed, and we had nobody to give us information. When some idiots decided to spread the word all across the world that kids were killers, people went into hiding. They lived in fear of their own flesh and blood and that's what I find the most saddest thing through all of this. Mothers turning their backs on their sons and daughters, fathers taking their mothers hand as they walk away and not looking back. Now I haven't got any sympathy for most of these kids, I have pity for the ones who didn't like what they could do and didn't want it. I pitied them because their parents didn't listen to them and just walked away. But unfortunately those kids were killed by the others. Acrding to them this power was a gift God has up entrusted them with and that they were meant to cherish it and use it how they wish,
I still held hope that were kids out there that were willing to help put a stop this, whether that means using their powers or not. Everyone hoped that this phenomenon would soon end but at what cost? The human race becoming extinct because couples were too afraid to have children? A huge war would break out and, if we were lucky, the adults would win and the kids would all be killed? There was no right or wrong, people just waited and hoped for something new to happen, hoped for something to save them.
But whilst we scientists tried our best to help and figure something out, their brains were just too complex and too advanced for us to even begin to understand how they worked.
I sighed. Our world was a tragic and sad place but we still lived and still tried to hold hope.
I changed into a more comfortable attire and got into bed.
I eventually drifted off and fell asleep dreaming of green eyes and murder.
"Make it stop..."
Happy new year everyone! Sorry this is late I've been kinda busy:/ but thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing it really means a lot. I'll try my best to write when school starts:) also I do plan on lengthening the chapters so i apologise if there short at the moment. Thanks again! :D
