Eren gasped as his eyes shot open, the sound of bells ringing in his ears. Cal looked over from his spot on the ground, as he had woken up only moments before Eren did. Mikasa hovered over the brunette as she spoke.
"Eren, are you okay?" She asked as she gave him a worried look. "You were tossing and turning."
Eren glanced around and looked at Cal as he rubbed his eyes and kept his gaze on the floor. Cal had had a strange dream but as soon as it ended, it was like he never had it. It felt quite strange but the one thing he could recall was seeing his father and Eren's father, for some odd reason.
"I feel like...I saw my dad...a-and Cal's." Eren mumbled as he held his head.
"Same here. Ugh, my head is killing me..." Cal groaned as he reached up and grasped his forehead.
"That's impossible," Mikasa said, "It was only a dream, you two."
"Was it?" Ere mumbled as he looked down at his chest as he felt a new weight on it. His eyes widened at the sight of his father's key hanging from a thin piece of string. Cal looked at his hand and noticed his father's ring, which was once on his sister's ribbon wrapped around his mother's small dagger, was on his ring finger. It was slightly bigger than his finger so he knew he would have to grow into it.
"Let's go," Mikasa announced as she stood up and faced the pair, "They said they're going to distribute food."
Eren nodded as he put the necklace in his shirt before standing up and holding his hand out to Cal.
"Come on. We don't wanna keep her winning." He mumbled as Cal took his hand and stood up, following the pair outside to where everyone else was.
Mikasa began explaining what the place was, but Cal tuned her out as he looked at all the people that had made it out of the wall. People of all ages were rushing to get food before it was all gone whilst others were talking amongst themselves, most likely about the events that had just been accused. Two people in line were arguing since one of them had cut into the queue. It showed how desperate everyone was to get food.
"Eren! Mikasa! Cal!" Cal was cut out of his thoughts as they heard the familiar voice of Armin coming towards them. He was cradling four pieces of bread in his arms with a smile on his face.
"My grandpa got these for us kids." He said as he gave all of them a loaf of bread each.
"Thanks, Armin," Cal said as he sent the blonde boy a kind smile. Eren looked up as a garrison soldier stood behind Armin with a disgusted look on his face. He made a 'tch' sound before walking away with his hands on his hips.
