CHAPTER 21

.

He was panting, his hand held the dagger it so strong that came to hurt his fingers.

Eren did not care if his arm was bleeding or not, within seconds the memory of his dead mother being attacked by animals crossed his mind and he began to tremble. Tears of anger flowed from his face. He held the dagger and ran towards the monster with his mouth veiled who was waiting with open arms to the side of the coffin.

His body smelled bad, the clothing was made of rags and yellow nails were cracked at the tips, black blood dripped down his face already half corroded by worms and flies that glided over the rotting face. The facial bones were showing, tufts of straight hair flowed like black satin. The creature had a sly smile on his sewed lips. As his rotting lips were moving the stitching fell apart, black blood trickled up from his scrawny neck.

Eren closed his eyes and slid the dagger into his neck. The monster staggered back and fell to the coffin which broke into pieces. His cry was dying and the smell of rot that exuded from his body became unbearable to breathe.

Another creature holding an incense inside a lamp removed the hood and showed his face. His face was scarred. Needles pierced both eyes, blood dripping from his forehead from a recent cut, as if the brain were being implanted within the skull. The language was divided into two equal parts like a snake. He was big and had pointy armor with blood splatters, red blood, human blood.

.

The dead man tried to grab Eren, uttering a hoarse cry as he deepened the dagger about to pierce it's throat.
The creature with armor threw the lamp in the wreckage of the wooden coffin and quickly began to catch fire, he attacked Eren with a bloody sword, punching him in the abdomen.

He felt no pain when the court began to bleed, the adrenaline and anger was such that he continued stabbing the monster without looking behind him mixing blood and bones in both hands.
Within seconds the creature fell, his head was cut off by a sharp blade.

Eren stopped what he was doing and looked forward, he trembled with fear at the sight of Rivaille covered in blood, fury etched on his beautiful face.

He quickly let go the dagger still lodged in the neck of the hissing creature, like a wounded animal and ran.

Eren felt pain in his leg but even staggering he ran away from that place, the crowd was too scared to watch him.

"How can you be so calm?" He grabbed Rivaille's arm that followed close, his bright eyes came in contact with two melted silver ones.

Rivaille had no time to answer what went through his head, instead he threw Eren on the floor and used the weight of his body as protection.

.

Seconds later an explosion occurred.

A cloud of thick smoke spread through the city. Two hands embraced him, his head was resting on the noble's breast.
He felt the rapid beating of his heart like a drum in the middle of war.

"What?"

"Do not talk! Cover your ears." He groaned in pain and it made Eren panic. "There was gunpowder inside the coffin."

The people's screams were terrifying, the shrill neighing of horses pierced his brain with a unwavering pain.

"I can't breathe." Eren coughed and said in a weak voice, his eyes refusing to open amid the smoke, he was gradually losing his senses and fainted in his arms.

Rivaille held him in a sitting position, with a pained expression he kissed him lightly, then moving on to do mouth to mouth resuscitation.

The smoke had lowered a bit. Eren gasped when Rivaille breathed in his mouth for the fifth time. He opened his eyes slowly, coughing a lot and grabbing Rivaille hard.

"What happened?

"Calm down..." He supported the cloth before covering his mouth with something wet.

"Take a deep breath, whatever happens do not get out of there."

He shook his head slowly to observe the deformed images around. His head buzzed with the noise of the explosion, struggling to stay upright. His eyes watered with dust.

He never saw a scene of destruction so shocking in his life. His bare feet stepped on a piece of broken glass, cutting and mixing the blood beneath him.

The man who stared at him earlier stood with his body bent forward, holding his intestines in his hands. When looking for Eren again he shouted, his arms fell loose and his guts fell to the ground. He fell in the middle of the casings, scratching the skin with pain to the point of bleeding.
His hands clawed his face, knocking one eye out and then vomiting blood.

.

His body was attacked by wild animals that shattered every piece of his flesh, other bodies lying on the ground was trampled by a crazed mob. Eren realized that most of them arose, mixed with chaos. Some walked slowly, as if under the influence of drugs, others bite their own bodies.

A woman sat in the middle of confusion, her hands were holding the head of a dead soldier, a piece of his brain hung on the ground, the other part was still inside his helmet. She looked at them both and smiled. One shot hit the center of her head with amazing accuracy.

Rivaille looked back once, his expression of amazement was something new that Eren rarely saw.

Eren threw the gun as if it burned his hands. The force with which he vomited made his throat hurt even more.

The survivoring guards tried to retreat the population, some archers who were disguised positioned themselves between houses with flaming arrows.

Rivaille gripped his arm tightly, he need not say anything, just run. In a quick glimpse Eren saw Petra flee within the chaos.

He pushed him to the stables and pulled the rope that tied one of the horses. Eren looked at his feet and saw a trail of blood left behind, that caught the attention of a creature that crawled slowly. The monster greedily licked the ground, grunting and shuffling with his bare hands, his internal organs were exposed to dirt and blood. His eyes met with Eren, he let out a desperate howl that stood out from the rest.

A dog came up smelling of blood and started licking and biting the insides of the dying man, tearing his flesh with sharp teeth.

Rivaille took the time that they were busy to get away, running with Eren in the opposite direction, galloping without looking back.

"Eren! No matter what you saw, you will never forget this but promise..."

"What?"

His hand was firm, his silver eyes pierced him "Promise you will not go crazy."

"No, I will not." Rivaille touched his hands lightly, Eren was shaking.

'You made a promise, do not turn back.' He thought.
