Take It All Away (LevixEren)

So It Begins

***

It had been two days since Hanji ripped open Eren.  He had been left without food or water but someone had come by each day with that damn clipboard.  Eren’s throat was dry and sore and his arm was aching almost as badly as his stomach.  He was still strapped down and his wounds had begun to heal, an angry red square lay on his bare chest.  Pain seared up his sides and into his temples.  A headache had started raging since last night and Eren cursed at the man with the board before he left.

Eren had managed to knock the sedative IV out of his arm without the guard noticing.  He knew that at least one guard was positioned outside his cell up the stairs and past the door.  For the fifth time that night he struggled against the straps until exhaustion overtook him.  This time through, one of the sides of the arm straps above his wrist loosened.

New hope surged through Eren’s mind as a fresh struggle started.  Eren pulled hard on the strap until, after a few minutes, it pulled free.  Eren smiled for the first time in weeks as he undid the rest of the straps.  He grabbed at the tattered remains of his shirt but gave up and just tugged it off.

Eren stood, shakily, by the side of the bed.  If he could just get a weapon he could make it out of this cell.  He took a couple stumbling steps towards the draws Captain Levi always rifled through.  Taking a deep breath Eren opened the draw and peered inside.

Inside the draw were multiple things Eren had never seen.  He looked away for a moment and then looked back and began moving everything around.  He had to find something sharp.  His arm shot back as something pricked his finger.  A knife.  The black leather blade handle felt nice in Eren’s hand as he shifted over to the cell door.

Eren stealthily pushed the knife tip into the lock.  After a few moments it clicked open and Eren smiled wider.  He took a breath and quickly made his way up the stairs.  Eren could hear a storm raging outside but it didn’t matter.  He had to get out there and turn into a titan.

It’s night time as Eren creaks the door open.  He cringed as his side begged for him to lay back down.  He had to get out.  He say a short, blond guard just beside the door sitting in a chair lazily.  Eren carefully butted him in the head with the back of the knife.

He slipped out and saw that at the end of the hall was a back door.  He began to sprint towards it but three guards rounded the corner.  Eren was slow due to his injuries and the guards slammed him into the ground.  He hit both his shoulders and accidently slices above his right eye.

As Eren starts kicking, biting, struggling Captain Levi turns the corner.  Eren stills as Levi is glaring at him.  A look of murderous intent is on Levi’s face as he pulls Eren down the stairs.  He straps Eren to a bench, ass in the air and moves quickly to the draw.

“How dare you!”  Levi yells.  He pulls out a paddle and sits next to Eren on the bench.  After fifty strikes he leaves Eren in tears.Before he slams the door and shuts the light off he says,”Do that again and I will have to kill you, Eren!”
