The sound of rattling wheels could be heard a few feet away and Eren could only guess that his ride was an old fashioned carriage. As it came to a stop, a light, almost inaudible thump followed. No words were exchanged as the newcomer grabbed his arm in a firm yet gentle grip and pulled him into the carriage, closing the door after. There was muffled voices outside then the carriage was on the move.

Eren tugged at his wrists, but he knew it was futile against handcuffs and twisting his arms to pull the hood would cause unnecessary pain, so he resulted in doing what he did best. Cause a racket. Though he couldn't see through the hood, he aimed his legs against the seat in front of him and kicked, effectively bringing a curse out of the driver. He continued, but if he was annoying the man, he didn't know. After a while of more thrashing, he was tired. Slumping on the seat, he wondered how long was the ride going to be, it has already been fifteen minutes. He was getting tired of the condition he was in. The hood was stuffy and the handcuffs were starting to dig into his skin. With a sigh, he thought back to how he got here. He had been sitting in alleyway with a few other kids, they were slightly older than him and when he was younger they used to bully him, but when he started stealing things for them from the orphanage, they stopped.

A beer in his hands and a cigarette between his lips, he listened to the other three talk about some girls they fucked the night before. He didn't care, he knew long before that he wasn't into girls nor anything sexual for that matter. At times the guys made fun of him for not being able to get it up when they spied on chicks from the red district, but he didn't care, he just played along.

As they kept talking, they didn't notice the two figures that stepped into the alley. "Eren Jaeger." A deep voice called out and all four jumped up dropping their beers and smokes. The three looked at Eren and back to the men and a heavy hand fell onto his shoulder. "Well, Eren, it was nice hanging out with you. See you around." And they were off before he could complain. Looking back at the men, they had taken a step toward him, but before he could dwell on that, he took off as well, surprised grunts coming from the men as they started the chase after him.

This wasn't new to Eren, the orphanage often sent people after him whenever he ran off. Though, these two were different from the ones that they usually sent, he didn't dwell on that. He just didn't care to be caught by them, after all he just wanted freedom. However, this time he didn't get far. He knocked into a tall man, looking up he immediately recognized him, Kenny the Ripper, know for his ruthless way of slicing his victims' neck open.

Eren immediately was paralyzed, he only saw the flint of metal before a hood was pulled over his head and felt a sharp pain at the of his head before everything went black. When he came to, he was cuffed and in a car and he could hear muffled voices through his dizzy mind. The voice soon cleared and he knew they were talking about him.

"Another kid, huh?"

"Yeah, and another 6 months from now. I doubt it'll ever end."

"But I doubt anyone even knows this is still going on."

"That's probably for the best. We don't need the citizens to know that vampires exist. It would cause unnecessary panic."

Eren eyes widened at the word vampire. He had heard rumors about vampires living in the outskirts of the city, but it was mostly used to scare small children when they misbehaved. No one, as the two men had said, no one really believed in those kind of creatures anymore. Even if he heard this now, it was hard for him to believe it. He wouldn't believe it and even if he did he wasn't about to give into these men or wherever they were taking him.

The sound of the carriage doors opening and the breeze that came in roused Eren from his light nap. The driver pulled him with the gentle firm grip again. Eren didn't know how far they were from the city, but it must have been far. He could hear the tree leaves swaying in the close distance. There wasn't any visible trees for miles of the city. With a soft push, the other led him where he guessed was the entrance of the residence. The footsteps changed from shifting dirt to a sharp click of his companion's boots and the soft tap of his Vans.

"Corporal, I' back with the newcomer." A soft caring voice said as he gently pushed Eren to his knees.

"Who is it this time?" Responded a bored, distant, and cold voice.

"It seems they are starting to give us kids with no families or record of relatives."

A small growl emitted from the other man, "Humans are such a stupid race. Don't you think, Armin?"

"We were stupid once too, Corporal." This Armin guy answered.

"Once, but not anymore. They cast us away, so they are nothing to us."

Moments of silence followed, before retreating steps were heard and others neared. "It seems that they no longer care about who ever they send here." The cold voice said and he felt cold finger tips touch his wrists, that sent a shiver throughout his body, then with a crack the cuffs fell off. The hand followed up to the base of his neck sending more shivers before the bottom of the hood was in between his fingers.

The moment the hood came off Eren had to close his eyes because of the sharp light coming through. He was surprised at how bright it was, he thought vampires would be creatures of the dark. Looking up, he noticed the brown boots in front of him, black jeans followed, and a beige buttoned up shirt. His features were stone cold but what threw him off the most was the confusion staring down at him, and he responded with his own confusion when the man gasped out his name.
