Chapter 6: Payback Is A Mother!
Caroline shot up in bed as she was woken up by bloodcurdling screams. "What's going on?" She wondered to herself. Her hair was down instead of up in her usual pigtails and her makeup was off leaving her face completely bare. Her see through teddy swished about as she got up, slipped on her house shoes and went over to her door.
A chill crept up her spine as she slowly peeked out into the dimly lit hallway. "Rose?" Caroline called out. No response was heard. "R-rose? " the blonde Maiden called out again. Again, no response.Caroline was starting to have a very bad feeling about this. Rose should have came up here by now.
Working up the courage, she stepped out of the room in search for the maid. It was only when she made her way half way down the stairs did she hear a voice from somewhere in the house. "Mommy.." The voice spoke in an ominous tone. "Where are you?"" Caroline's blood ran cold freezing her in her tracks "A-Armin!?" Caroline wondered to himself. "No..No that shouldn't be possible..he shouldn't be able to move" Caroline whispered shaking to herself. There's no way Armin could have left that room!
"Mommy?" The woman heard making her blood chill over again. The child's voice was then followed by the faint sound of a chainsaw rumbling. Fearing for her life, Caroline ran upstairs to the fourth floor, dashing into her workshop. Her eyes widened in fright when she didn't see Armin's body lying on her work table.
"Oh my God..." Caroline trembled shaking hysterically. Where was her Doll at? Her thoughts were cut off when she suddenly felt a presence behind her. Turning around, she saw Armin fully clothed and standing in the doorway looking at her smiling and looking up at her with big sparkly blue eyes. His now dirtied chainsaw was dangling in his right hand, dripping blood on the attic's hardwood floor ."There you are Mother! " Armin said. Caroline stared at her new Doll in horror.
"What's wrong Mommy?" Armin asked smiling coldly at his mother walking towards her. "Are you alright? You look so scared!" Caroline couldn't even look at her new creation she was so frightened. "A-Armin..s-s-weet pea..." She stammered. "Please put down the chainsaw for Mommy?" She said trying to reason with the doll. "But why Mother?" Armin replied faking another look of innocence . "I was having so much fun using my new toy to play with Rose!" He said holding up his chainsaw in the light for his mother to see."But I got bored and wanted to play with you, so here I am!" He said giggling and smiling psychotically.
Caroline was officially mortified. Her Entire body racked with frightened sobs. This was not her sweet boy anymore, she had created a monster! "Armin baby please!" Caroline shrieked trying to get through to the doll."I'm Your MOTHER! "She cried."don't you remember!?" She didn't realize she was backing away from her son until she had felt the worktable bump up against her.
"Yes Mother I remember.." Armin said smiling. "I remember that you were the one who killed me and took my fucking life away!" He said slamming his look alike down on the table. Caroline looked up into her beautiful doll's face to see that his eyes were glowing a bright blue and looking at her full of hatred. "Let's play a game mommy" he said in a dark tone. "It's called cut the limbs' he smiled.

Eren was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of some light tapping at his window. "Hmm? What is it?" He said looking towards the source of the noise. White fluffy paws, ears and whiskers could be seen shining in the moonlight. "Snowball?" Eren asked recognizing the Animal sitting on the windowsill. Walking over to it, he opened up his window and let the rabbit in.
"What are you doing here?" He wondered picking up the bunny. It was extremely rare for Snowball to go wandering about without Armin near him...wait a minute..Armin. The same terrible feeling that he had earlier about Armin was slowly starting to creep up on him again. "Snowball?" Eren asked looking at the rabbit."did something happen to Armin?" Snowball bounced out of Eren's arms and hopped towards the window. The boy watched silently as the rabbit just stared at the boy with waiting eyes.
"Do you want me to follow you?" Eren asked again. Snowball responded by twitched his nose and pointed one of his long ears towards Armin's house."I'll take that as a yes" Eren thought. " okay Snowball, take me to him!" He said putting on a black coat over his silky black and green striped pajamas and a green scarf around his neck. November nights were quite chilly. Quietly stepping out of his window, he followed Snowball to the Arlert mansion.

Caroline screamed as her left arm was chopped off. Her right arm and both of her legs laid in a bloody pile on the floor. Armin hummed to himself as he sat cross legged on the floor playing with his mother's limbs listening to his mother weep on the table. Her nightgown was torn and ripped to shreds, and all that remained of her limbs were short little bloody stubs. "Armin..." Caroline croaked in her painful haze. " please stop" she begged.
Armin got up and looked at his mom putting her hands down on the floor. Why yes, this game is getting a bit old isn't it Mother?"he said. "It's cold in here tonight don't you think? Maybe I should warm us up" and with that he grabbed a can of gasoline and dumped it all over his mother making her scream in pain. The strong smelling liquid stung her open wounds making her scream and wail miserably. He then splashed some more gas on the floor and on some of Caroline's other dolls.
Taking out a match and lighting it, he let it fall on the floor setting the room ablaze. He watched as the flames slowly crept up the numerous shelves of Caroline's workshop, burning her doll's and giving them a hellish look. The flames licked at the the work table's legs making their way towards Caroline. Caroline screamed in agony as she slowly started to get burned alive.
"ARMIN!" Caroline pleaded reaching her stub out to her precious Doll "ARMIN PLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSE!" Caroline screamed through the flames coughing."I CREATED YOU! I've GIVEN YOU A NEW LIFE! I GAVE YOU A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL GIFT!" She howled. "PLEASE SWEETIE I LOVE YOU!" She cried. Armin just looked at her with a cold icy glare.
"I'm sorry mother but..you have to pay.." Armin said watching her scream for mercy. "Have fun with dolls in Hell" and with that he took one last good look at his mother and shut the door, leaving her to her horrible fate. Within minutes the entire house was nearly in flames, giving the mansion a nightmarish appearance to it in the dead of night.
Armin stood outside from a safe distance sadly staring at his once beloved home burn. Black thick smoke rose into the night sky as embers and ashes scattered about. His body trembled for a moment before completely breaking down into heavy quiet sobs." Gone.." Armin thought crying to himself like a little child on the cold ground. "It's all gone..!" He whimpered. His life, his humanity,his mind and his family..all gone..
Now what will he do? He had nowhere to go, no home, no other family members that he knew of and he was doomed... doomed forever to spend life as a living doll. Armin wandered around the area shivering and crying bitterly to himself in the cold November air. "Please.." He said to himself. "I just want to die.." He whimpered. A moment later,he felt his walking slow down making it difficult for him to move. He was beginning to feel very drowsy and his eyelids got heavy, threatening to close.
Armin fell to the ground with a very loud "thump!" With his wind up key stopping.

Eren and Snowball finally arrived to Armin's house only to find it engulfed in flames. Eren's bright green eyes widened In alarm. "ARMIN!" Eren screamed running up the porch. It was hopeless. At this point it was impossible for the messy haired brunette to go inside and look for his friend without him dying in the flames as well.
Snowball then tugged on the bottom of Eren's pants leg with his teeth and pointed his ears towards something on the ground. "Foot prints" Eren realized . maybe Armin had managed to save himself and escape the fire! Following the foot trail away from the house, he saw something silky on the ground and picked it up. It was one of Armin's ribbon chokers. "Armin!" Eren called out praying for a response. "ARMIN!" He called out again.
Snowball caught Armin's scent and scampered off with Eren following close behind him. Within minutes, Eren found Armin. He was lying motionless on the ground with at least five or so crows pecking and crowding around him. "Get off of him!" He yelled shooing the birds away. Kneeling down next to the blonde he shook him violently begging and pleading with him to wake up.
.
"Oh my God..." Eren's gaze shifted towards Armin's legs making him gasp and stare in horror."Oh my God Armin...!" Eren croaked in disbelief at Armin's legs. "What happened in that house? What..what did they DO to you!?" He cried as he cradled the lifeless young man in his arms.
