Erwin's Pov:
We were all sitting there listening to everyone's conversation I was in charge of Levi's, Eren's, and Mikasa's wires. I was listening to Levi talk about the best type of tea. When I heard an urgent voice on the other line of Levi's wire. For some reason Eren's was probably malfunctioning because I wasn't able to hear anything from his side in over an hour.
"Eren?! What's wrong?"
"L-Levi... my wire...isn't working...Erwin...warn him.." I faintly heard Eren panting over Levi's wire.
I tried to figure out what he was trying to warn me about when I looked over to see Hanji clutching her stomach and start coughing, then it all clicked.
"Farlan! call for an ambulance now!" I rushed to my fiance and grabbed the trashcan just as she started vomiting. I could hear footsteps rushing through the hallway as the door burst open and Levi and Eren stood there wide eyed.
Eren's pov:
I looked over the picture and tried to talk to Erwin to give me a sign if he heard me but nothing happened, I clutched the picture and ran with all my might to Levi. He saw me coming as did everyone else and he immediately stood up.
"Eren?! What's wrong?" He grabbed onto my shoulders and looked me over.
I clutched his shirt trying to catch my breath, "L-levi...my wire...isn't working...Erwin...we have to warn...Erwin..." I shoved the picture in his chest and took off running towards the principals office hearing Levi mumble under his breath and run after me. As I turned the corner I got a quick glimpse of everyone following Levi and ran faster.
"please be okay please be okay..." I saw the office up ahead and burst through the door Levi right behind me.
I gasped and put my hands to my mouth watching Farlan on the phone with 911 and Isabel and Erwin holding Hanji while Pixis cleared a spot for her to lie down.
"Oh Hanji...I'm so sorry..." I walked towards her as she gave me a pained smile and took my hand.
"No Eren, this isn't your fault, I ruled out the possibility that he'd hurt any one of us up here. I promise I'm okay." Levi went to the overturned coffee mug and took a small drink before spitting it out.
"Hanji how could you not taste this!" I looked at Levi as he explained. "It's been heavily poisoned, but it shouldn't be that dangerous for you so why is it affecting you this way?! Erwin and I have witnessed you drinking things far more poisonous than this."
Erwin met Hanji's eyes and realization suddenly hit everyone. "It's not affecting her...it's affecting the baby..." At that moment Hanji clutched her stomach and started crying.
"Erwin...she's bleeding..." Erwin looked to where Isabel was pointing and we all saw blood between her legs. Hanji looked at Erwin and reached for him as we heard sirens pulling into the parking lot.
The paramedics arrived shortly and allowed Erwin to go with her, we all followed them out of the school and to the ambulance as they drove off. I looked at Pixis and he looked at me and my friends.
"Well what are we all waiting for? One of our family members is in trouble and she's going to need us let's get going shall we?" None of us hesitated as we ran to our cars and waved goodbye to Pixis.
By the time we got to the hospital (Levi and I were the first to arrive) we saw Erwin with his head in his hands crying. I ran up and pulled him into a hug as he sobbed into my shoulder. By the time he pulled away everyone else had arrived and were filling up the waiting room. Levi was busy trying to calm Erwin down as the doctor came in.
"For Hanji Zoe?" Everyone stood up and waited to hear what she would say.
"We did the best we could and Hanji is fine, however..."she looked at Erwin with sad eyes, "It's hard for me to say this but...she had a miscarriage...I'm truly sorry. " With that she turned and walked away as I watched Erwin fall to his knees now broken.
"I-I'm...s-sorry Erwin..." Erwin looked up at me and slowly rose, before I knew what had happened Erwin had me pinned against the wall tears streaming down his eyes...
"IT'S YOUR FAULT! IT'S YOUR FAULT MY BABY IS DEAD! YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM US EREN! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" It took Levi, Bertl, Annie, Mikasa, Connie, Jean and Marco to pull him away from me as I slunk down to the ground tears falling down my face.
I saw Armin and Sasha start walking towards me and I shook my head standing up trembling. "Stay away...I'll only hurt you guys... please just stay away..."
Hanji had apparently woken up and heard the ruccus as she made her way to the waiting room and saw the whole thing break out in front of her eyes. I saw her start walking towards me with her hand raised and I flinched back.
"I'm sorry Hanji...s-so sorry..." I had one hand covering my mouth and one hand clutching my chest as I stumbled backwards before turning around and running out of the hospital.
"Eren! wait!" I heard both Hanji and Armin yell but I ignored them and kept running, I ran until I couldn't think anymore, I ran until I wasn't even in town, I ran and ran passing the parking lot that Levi had parked in once. I stopped and ran towards the tree house and climbed up. By the time I got to the top I curled myself into a ball in the corner and cried my eyes out. After what seemed like hours I heard my phone ring and I slowly answered and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello Eren."
"What the fuck do you want?!"
"now now I wouldn't talk to me like that if I were you. Afterall you wouldn't want what happened to Hanji to happen to someone else now would you?" I shivered at the voice and bit my lip. I heard Reiner chuckle, "Now that was a fun game wasn't it?"
"That wasn't fun Reiner...what do you want?"
"You know what I want. I want you dead. Nothing more and nothing less. You know, it's actually pretty amusing watching your boyfriend run around like a chicken without a head."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh that's right you ignored everything and took off running, well your boyfriend ran after you but of course he has no idea where you are. But I do."
I quickly stood up and looked around scared, I slowly crawled and looked for something to protect myself with. I found a baseball bat.
"Don't worry Eren. do as I say and I won't hurt you or your friends again." I heard creaking that meant someone was climbing up the ladder. I tensed and got ready.
"I'll call you again Jaeger." With that he hung up I held my breath and raised the bat.
Levi's pov:
Stupid Erwin, stupid Eren, stupid everything! My heart hurt badly...I couldn't believe Reiner would pull something like that...I couldn't believe we didn't catch it fast enough..
I was busy running around town looking for places for Eren to go. After seeing the look on his face when Erwin attacked him...I felt his pain more than saw it. Poor kid was already beating himself up for it and Erwin made it worse.
I went back to the hospital to see everyone's faces fall in disappointment when they didn't see Eren with me.
"I hope he's okay...I didn't...I didn't mean what I said...I regretted it the moment the words left my mouth..." I looked down to Erwin and nodded.
"His face...I keep thinking of the way he looked...he felt betrayed..." Hanji was taken back to her room and we were all still in the waiting room.
"Did you check everywhere? Any place that he would go to because he thinks it safe?" Armin looked up at me worried.
I nodded and froze. "There's one place I haven't checked." I stood up and ran out to my car. I got in and drove straight to the tree house. I quickly jumped out of my car almost forgetting to put it in park and ran to the steps.
"Eren?!" I yelled up but heard no answer so I started climbing. I heard a small movement and stopped before climbing faster.
"Oi Eren are you up here?!" I peaked my head in and quickly ducked as I saw my baseball bat heading towards my head.
"OI! SHITTY BRAT KNOCK IT OFF!" I slowly looked in the tree house again and saw him drop the bat. I climbed up and slowly knelt in front of him.
"Are you okay?" He looked down at his hands that were trembling.
"H-hows Hanji? a-and Erwin?"
I nodded and sat next to him. "Their fine everyone is worried about you, including Erwin."
"no he's not...he said it's my fault and it is... it's all my fault..." I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him close
"no one thinks that, not even Erwin. He was just really really upset over the loss of his unborn child." I felt his shoulders start to shake and i pulled him close as he cried. After a few minutes I kissed his forehead and encouraged him to go back with me.
Eren's Pov:
I slowly climbed down the tree house with Levi we got into his car and were at the hospital way too soon for my liking. I felt my hands starts to shake violently as we walked through the doors and made our way to the waiting room. As soon as we got there I heard a chorus of "he found him" and "he's okay" I slowly looked up to everyone and bit my lip as I saw them relax.
"s-sorry for running out like that" I watched their smiles grow and was surprised when Krista and Ymir were the first two to get up and pull me into a hug. After about 5 minutes of hugging and welcoming back I heard someone clear their throat.
I looked back and my smile instantly faded, Erwin was standing next to Levi as I slowly lowered my eyes to the ground and felt tears form again I rubbed my arm slightly.
"Eren..." I heard his pained voice and I couldn't help but tense up. "Eren...I'm sorry..." I felt big strong arms wrap around me and I looked up to see Erwin trembling slightly and hugging me.
"I'm sorry...so...sorry..." I clutched to his chest and felt my tears pour out as he tightened his hug and rubbed my back. I kept apologizing and crying while everyone else was smiling and tearing up at the sight.
When we finally pulled away Erwin ruffled my hair and sat down. I looked around and took a deep breath.
"u-um...I have something to say... "I got everyone's attention and told them about the text messages Reiner had sent during class and the message and threat he made during lunch.
"Eren... it's okay you were trying to protect us both times, we forgive you for keeping it from us." Ymir responded and I got multiple nods from the rest.
"U-um... he...c-called me...and w-warned me n-not to say anything..." I looked up at Levi and bit my lip "H-he's close by but I don't know where...h-he was watching you run around looking for me Levi." Levi looked shocked and I rubbed my eyes.
A couple of hours later after telling every one what happened I got a phone call. We were now at Levi's house and I was sitting on Levi's bed as Levi showered. Everyone decided to spend the night with Farlan and Isabel this time around, with the exception of Erwin who stayed with Hanji, and they were more than happy to have a full house.
I looked at my phone and didn't recognize the number so I was scared to answer but I finally did.
"So you went against our rules Jaeger. Not the wisest choice I might say. Lucky for you I give second chances. Here's yours."
It was silent over the line until I heard a cough and then someone speak, "Hey kiddo...Looks like we're both in a real pickle here aren't we? Listen whatever this guy wants..don't give it to him because an old geezer like me has lived a wonderful life, there's no reason for you to get yourself in more danger." I almost dropped the phone and felt myself stand up walking towards the living room writing a short note for Levi.
"Hey gramps...hang in there for me yeah?" I heard the phone switch and Reiner come back on.
"I noticed you're closer to the blonde coconut than anyone else so I decided I'd hurt you by ruining your friends happiness. But like I said I give second chances Jager. Here's yours."
"What do you want me to do." I grabbed Levi's keys and stood by the door.
"Simple, leave your phone where you are and come to your old house. Not the one you lived in before you moved in with Levi. No be at the house your parents died in. No later than 10:30 p.m. Get here by yourself. and I'll let him live."
"I understand." I hung up placed my phone by the note I left for Levi and ran out to his car. I jumped in and sped of to what might be my last night alive.
"Heh...at least I left Levi a not with my feelings..." I wiped my eyes and sped through town, it was 9:45pm and the drive to my old house took almost an hour. I stepped on the gas and kept my eye on the time.
"Hold on for me gramps...I'm on my way.."
