Hey everyone! First of all, I'd like to thank anyone who contributes to this story, or even reads it, it means a lot! And also, thank you Natuur18 for reviewing this, you wouldn't believe how much that made my day :3 and yes fireygummybears, Eren was a bit crazy. But, he was unstable.
Also, I try to update as soon as I can, so thanks for reading! This chapter isn't that exiting, but the next one has some more Eren/Levi than usual. How long should I make this? I was thinking about 15-20 parts, but I don't know. Anyway, hope you guys like this story and chapter!
Again, so late -.-
Eren.
His thoughts were filled with the deep voice that had haunted him forever. The restless nights, the killing sprees, the screams that hanged in his throat.
Eren.
"Stop it." He ordered, slapping his head playfully. He had ran home, right after the incident at the cafe. He felt kinda bad for calling the girl a 'bitch', she probably didn't mean any harm. But when she mentioned something like that... The words just slip out.
Eren.
"I thought I told it to stop." He spat, opening the door and slamming it shut. This startled Mikasa, and about said something till she saw the furious look on Erens face. She knew it would do no good to talk to him now, and let him go to his bedroom.
Eren swung the door open, held his head, and started to sit down on his bed. He hadn't touched it since he got back, and realized how soft it was. Reality hit him, and he noticed how tired he was. How long it had been since he last slept, how long it was that he'd given a chance for the nightmares to come once again. He sighed, and slowly laid down on his pillow.
Eren.
He shook his head violently. "Get away. I don't want you here." He whispered in his mind, gripping his fingers to make marks on the sides of his face. His teeth gritted, and she turned into the pillow, breathing shallow breaths into it. His breathing slowly turned into a peaceful one, and accidentally fell into a slumber.
"Eren. " A deep voice spoke, towering over him. "When I let you out into the real world again, I need you to remember one thing..."
Petra was shaking in Hanjis arms, Hanji whispering comforting words to her. This was usually Erwin's job, but since he wasn't here, she was the second person.
Levi was trying to pull out the knife out of the back of the bench, and succeed, using much more force than he thought he needed though. He had called over Hanji right after Eren left, so he could get answers to what she meant when Petra stopped shaking.
He himself was a bit shaken, but had kept calm the whole time. Though, Erens skills in hand-to-hand combat had even amazed him a little bit. For a brat, of course. He could take down only slightly worse than Levi, which in itself is a accomplishment in Levi admitting it.
"Petra," he started, kneeling down in front of her.
Her eyes were heavy and shaken. She looked up at Levi, shivering. "Y-Yes..."
He sighed, and put a hand on her shoulder. His head turned over to Annie, who was being investigated. "Never mind. I'll give you a few more minutes." He muttered, quickly standing up and going over straight to Annie. He slammed his hands down, Annie not moving one inch.
"You're Annie, right?" He questioned. Annie just nodded, no emotion coming out. "Tell us how Eren used to be when you knew him, if anything else." He commented, wanting to know anything about him. Not for the case though, which was a first.
You could spot the smallest of smiles upon her face. "He was an idiot." She started out. "He'd be ridiculously happy all the time, no matter what. He was an okay student; he got Bs and Cs, but sometimes he'd get As, and the whole group would go out for ice cream if that ever happened. " her smile turned more noticeable. "Though, he'd always do good in PE, but could never beat Mikasa, which pissed him off all the time. "
"Who's Mikasa?" He started, wondering her relationship with him.
"Mikasa was his sister. She was the perfect student and better at everything. She sorta ticked me off too, but Id never tell that to Eren. That would break his heart." Her lips formed a flat line again. "Anyway, the one thing I remember about him most his will. He never gave up, never gave in, and would always try. When his friend, Armin, was beaten, Eren would go over and try to hurt them. Though, in the end, he'd be the the one getting beat up. But that wouldn't stop him at all. He'd still fight until Mikasa came over to kick their ass." She paused for a moment. "He'd come the next day, like he wasn't covered in bandages, and laughed and smiled through the whole day. Who knew he'd become that good of a fighter."
"Whose this 'group' you speak of?" Levi questioned, getting more intrigued by the minute.
"The group? A combination of some of the greatest people I've meet, though I'd never tell them that. It was the boys, Jean, Marco, Armin, Bertholdt ,Reiner , Connie, and of course, Eren. The girls were Sasha, Mikasa, Christa, Ymir, and I. We we're inseparable. There wasn't a moment that wasn't exiting." She commented, the smile forming again.
"So, how did you guys figure out Eren was gone?"
That was the wrong question for Levi to ask. She frowned, and stood up. "I'm done with this interview. I'm just a waitress, so see ya." She said, turning on her heels and walking away.
Levi sighed, knowing not to go after her. He was amazed she had talked in the first place, since she looked unsocial, and could probably just beat the shit out of everyone. He decided it would be a good time to go over to Petra and ask her at least one question.
"Petra, what where you saying on the way in?" He asked calmly, touching her shoulder.
She looked over at him, eyes full of fear. "Eren Jaeger wasn't a runaway; he was taken."
"Eren!" Mikasa yelled from the kitchen, waking Eren up. He gasped for air, panting heavily. His hands were a bit shaky, but managed to get off the bed. He slowly walked down the hall, yawning.
"What is it?" He sloppily said, leaning against the counter.
"It's the gang. They want to get together again." She said happily, and Eren froze. The gang? He'd see them again? After all these years?
"And?"
"So I said yes. I hope you'll come with me." She said quietly. Eren sighed, sitting down.
"Sure, whatever. As long as where just going somewhere, it's fine. No bars though, I hate the smell of them." He commented.
"Really?" Mikasa said, being cheerful according to Erens book. "Were just going to a bowling alley."
"Awesome." He smiled. "I'll get ready!" He said excitedly, skipping down the hall.
I need you to remember one thing...
The smile wiped off Erens face.
You will always be a monster.
