Angel [Ereri/Riren]

Chapter 3- Eren

I'm soaring through the forest. I didn't even know I could move this fast.
With my line anchored in a tree, I propel myself forward, my blades in each hand, held down by my waist.
I can hear the slicing of the air, someone else floating alongside me, but I can't quite see them.
I hear the footsteps, heavy against the ground and foliage beneath me. They hold unimaginable violence.

It happens even faster than I can move. A man about 200 feet away from me is falling, his gear having failed.
I hear someone shout something, and then realize it came out of my mouth. I'm not in control of my body. I immediately change targets, moving towards him.

I shout once more, "LEVI!"

I am fast, but gravity is faster. He plummets. A being that resembles a human, but is anything but, waits beneath him, it's mouth open wide and it's teeth protruding haphazardly. He's within 6 feet of it now.

I shoot up in my bed. I'm breathing heavily, and my sheets are soaked in sweat.

"What the fuck." I whisper.

I walk into the bathroom and splash some water on my face. I cup some in my hand, and scoop it into my mouth and swallow.

I turn the bathroom light off as I head back towards my bed. I crawl back in, thinking about the dream. It's one that I've had a couple times before, but it's getting more incessant– like it's trying to tell me something.

It's too early for this shit. I curl up on my side, and drift back to sleep.
