Bang!
A truck crashed through the walls of the house and stopped just behind them. Debris flew everywhere. Something red fell out from behind the truck. A man jumped out from the driver's seat.
It was Kenny.
'Historia, I am very disappointed. You broke our promise. So now, it's the consequences you have to bear.' He lighted a match and threw it at a large group of explosives in the truck.
'Run!' someone shouted, and they did.
The explosives exploded. Flames surrounded them instantly, but also pushed them out of the house, into the air. They flew for a few seconds, and fell in the lake beside the house, which helped them put out the fire on them.
The teens floated to the surface quickly. They helped each other and swam to safety. Most of them had burns on their body, but nothing serious.
'So, horse-face, do you still doubt that guy now?' Eren said mockingly.
Jean ignored him and lied down on the grass.
'Hey Reiner, what do you think your mother and father will say?' Bertolt stared at the house that was now crumbling and burning down to ashes.
'I don't know. Your mom and dad probably won't mind, though. They have so much money that they can buy hundreds of houses like this.'
The teens either lied on the grass or stared at the night sky.
'Say, isn't it dangerous here? I mean, Kenny literally blew the house up and we're still here.' Armin finally said something.
'Yeah true, but where could we go to?' Eren walked over to him.
'Probably Hange's.'
xXoXx
A few moments later, they arrived at a relatively large house. Hange was standing at the door, smiling. She had brown hair that was messily tied up into a ponytail. She also wore a pair of goggles. She wore a white lab coat with a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
'Hey there! Wow! I never had so many guests at once! And that they brought exciting stories with them! I can't wait to hear about what happened back there! Armin told me that something had happened. I bet a massive UFO crashed into the house! Or the-'
'Hange, could you not see that it is two in the morning now and we're drenched?' Eren frowned. His clothes are soaked with water and sticking to his skin uncomfortably. 'And how did you know we were staying at our friend's house?'
'Oh, my apologies! Come on in!' Hange moved aside. The teens stepped in and Hange closed the door.
The room was quite big. Some couches sat at the middle of the room. A television was hung on the wall. A hallway at the side of the room led to more rooms and a staircase.
'Okay, you're soaked, so you all need a bath and a change of clothes. The bathroom is the first room to the left of the corridor there. You can get some clothing upstairs in the storeroom. When you're done, just sleep at the couch. We'll talk tomorrow,' Hange stated.
'Hange, you still haven't answer my second question. And are you sure that the clothes in the storeroom aren't covered in dust?' Eren sat on the couch and glanced at Hange.
'Erwin told me 'bout that. And Levi cleans like the world is ending. I doubt that you will even find a speck of dust in my house.'
'Oh. Right. I forgot you three live together. I kinda feel sorry for Erwin. Poor man lives with a clean freak and a crazy woman,' Eren said.
'I'll take that as a compliment. Now go bathe and we'll talk tomorrow,' Hange said and walked up the stairs.
xXoXx
'Are you sure that you want to hear what happened? You really might die, you know.'
Everyone had gathered at the living room. Erwin and Levi had joined them too.
Levi sighed.
'Shut the fuck up and fucking talk.'
Armin, who was chosen to by the teens to speak, took a deep breath and told the adults what happened. Hange and Erwin said nothing. Levi's face was as white as a sheet of paper, and he was no longer sitting on the couch but standing, a knife in his hand.
'Whoa, whoa, Levi, calm down. '
'Historia, are you sure the fucker's name is Kenny?' Levi turned his head, as if he was searching for something. Historia nodded.
'We're dead,' he simply said. 'We're going to die. There's no way out.'
'Levi, do you know this man?' Erwin said. 'And besides, if he came, you can fight him. Aren't you the strongest here?'
'Do in know him? Yes! He's my fucking mentor! Before I left Sina, he taught me how to fight! He taught me how to hold a knife! And you want me, to kill my teacher? He can fucking take on a whole army by himself with only a knife! Tell me, Erwin, tell me, how can I kill him when I can't even fight him? Tell me!'
Armin was speechless. How can it be like this? Is there really no way out of this situation?
'Reporting this to the police is the only thing we can do now.' Erwin walked to the front door.
'That won't be much of use.
Everybody turned to the terrifyingly familiar voice.
'It was quite fun to see my dear student giving up, you know. After going through so much, he gave up at the mention of my name. Am I that terrible?' Kenny laughed.
Levi grabbed the knife and charged towards Kenny, only to be tripped and fell on the floor. The knife fell out of his grasp. He tried to get up but Kenny stepped on him and picked up the knife.
'The student can't beat the teacher,' Kenny said as he sliced open Levi's throat. Blood gushed out from the wound as he gasped for air. More air. And he died.
The teens quickly ran to the front door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. They turned around. Hange and Erwin was fighting Kenny.
'Run!' Erwin shouted as Kenny stabbed Hange right in the heart, ending the woman's life.
Kenny watched the teens screaming and running away from him. He laughed like a maniac. 'I'll find you!' he yelled, and snapped Erwin's neck.
He turned around, preparing to search for the teens. They would not escape his trap. He saw Historia standing there, trembling. Ymir was pulling her hand.
'Well, well, well, what do we have here?'
'Don't you dare hurt her! I'll kill you!' Ymir snarled.
'Come on. Give it a try! Maybe you'll succeed,' Kenny challenged.
'Ymir, don't! He'll kill you!' Historia whispered.
Ymir turned her head to look at Historia. 'Historia…'
'I like you. You know when to give up.' Kenny walked to them and knocked the girls out with a swift punch.

Sasha ran to the kitchen and hid in a cupboard. She cried silently and hoping that the crazy murderer wouldn't find her.
She heard a creaking sound, and turned around. There was only utensils and plates there.
'Found you.' She heard someone whisper. Something hit her head, and everything went black.
xXoXx
Connie ran upstairs with Reiner. They checked the windows one by one, but all of them are duct taped-shut.
'Smash it! Smash the window!' Reiner whispered as they ran into a bedroom and locked the door. Connie took a chair and hit the window again and again, but not even a crack appeared.
'It won't break!' Connie said as the chair broke in two.
'Find something else! Quick!' Reiner scanned the room quickly. He spotted a baseball bat under the bed.
Just as he was about to tell Connie about that, he heard gunshots. He felt pain. He stumbled, and the door flew open. He felt nausea. More pain. He fell to the ground. The world started to fade around him. He can barely make out a tall figure pointing something at Connie.
More pain. A gunshot.
Black.

Annie and Bertolt ran into a room and locked the door. The room was empty except for a small vase at a corner.
Annie and Bertolt sat down. A wave of hopelessness washed over them. Annie thought about her friends. Sure, she may be apathetic, but they were her friends. She cared for them.
'I'll go help them.' Annie stood up.
'W-What? Annie, are you hearing yourself? The guy, Kenny. He'll kill you!' Bertolt grabbed Annie's hand.
'If I we're to choose between living with the guilt of letting my friends die by themselves or die with them, I'd choose the latter.'
'B-but, Annie, I know this is not the right time to say this, but I l-love you! I have money! We can live together! I-I can't live without you!' Bertolt cried.
'But I can.' Annie pushed Bertolt away. She grabbed the vase and unlocked the door, only to be greeted by a fist that knocked her unconscious.
'Selfless girl and selfish boy. Who would I choose to kill?' Kenny smiled and took the vase Annie was holding.
Bertolt was afraid. He will not die here. Screw Annie, he would step out from this massacre alive. 'Please, kill Annie! Don't kill me! I can give you a lot of money!'
'I like the selfish boy. He begged for his life,' Kenny said. Bertolt smiled.
'That's right. Choose Annie and I'll give you money.'
'Nope.' Kenny smashed the vase into Bertolt's face. It broke, and the part he was holding was jagged and sharp. He then proceeded to swing the broken vase on the boy's face.
Bertolt was screaming in pain. His face was bloody, and he can't see. 'Why? I can give you anything you wished for! Why didn't you choose me?!'
'Because, she is brave. And I like to leave the best 'till the last.' Kenny dropped the broken piece and took out a dagger from his pocket. He brought the blade across Bertolt's neck slowly, enjoying the boy's agony.
The light in Bertolt's eyes slowly faded away.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin hid in the bathroom and boarded up the door with some cabinets.
'God, that guy's lost it! He's freaking insane!' Eren leaned on a wall, panting.
'Thank god he can't get in here for now.' Armin sat on the toilet.
Mikasa tore down a towel rack. 'If he came in, I'll kill him.'
The trio sat together, waiting for the cabinets to tumble down. Then Armin realised something.
It was too quiet.
He quickly searched for a ventilation fan, only to find a square metal board screwed tightly in its place.
'What's up, Armin? You look like you saw a ghost.' Eren and Mikasa stood up.
'We're trapped. The vent's sealed!' Armin exclaimed.
'Fuck.' They quickly pushed the cabinets blocking the door aside. The door's gaps between the door and the wall had been covered with wet rugs. They tried to open the door, but it won't budge. Then, they heard gunshots.
'Oh god. Why is this happening?' Eren started to panic. He kicked the door.
'Eren, keep calm. Breathe slowly. Don't talk.'
Eren nodded. After what seems like forever, they began to feel dizzy.
'Armin, are we going to die?' Eren asked.
'I don't know,' Armin replied.
More time passed. Breathing seemed to be more difficult for the three teens. Spots began to litter their vision.
One by one, they fell on the floor.
The last thing Armin heard before fading into unconsciousness is the sound of a door opening and laughter.

Jean crouched behind one of the couches that is nearest to the wall. He saw Ymir and Historia being knocked out by Kenny. Sasha was later carried out from the kitchen and thrown on the couch.
Kenny then went to the second floor. After a little while, he heard a thump sound, then gunshots. He nearly shouted out loud.
Then, what he saw terrified him: Connie and Reiner lifeless bodies rolling down the stairs, with bullet wounds on their bodies, Kenny following them.
He quickly ducked down behind the couch. He feared that Kenny might have saw him. Just as he was going to peek, a bone-chilling scream came from one of the rooms in the corridor. Then footsteps, something hitting the floor.
He recognized the scream as Bertolt's. He must be dead already. Jean thought.
He finally dared to look. Sasha, Ymir, Historia and Annie are propped on the couch. Reiner and Connie's bodies are lying on the floor. Bertolt's body is the most horrifying. His face is mutilated beyond recognising, and his throat his slit.
Slit throat. That's right, where's the bodies of the three adults? He looked around the room, but he didn't see them.
'When did you get there?'
Jean froze. Kenny had found him. He forgot to hide. Now he's going to die.
He turned to look at Kenny. The murderer is carrying his three unconscious friends, a confused expression on his face.
'Never mind. Seven is enough.' He pulled out a pistol and fired.
Jean stared at the bullet that was fired at him. Time seemed to slow down. He can clearly see the bullet flying towards him.
Why don't I dodge? Jean thought. He still didn't move.
The bullet went through his head and killed him immediately.
