The cold tile floor stung my face as I regained consciousness. I tried to get up but was immediately greeted with a sharp pain. I screeched a little and covered what I remember to be a bullet wound with my hand, gasping at the pain of my touch. I slowly opened my eyes to see another meeting mine, however, these weren't familiar.
I tried to get up but was immediately pulled back down to the ground by the chains on my wrists and ankles.
"uh, so you seem to be awake 'chosen one'," the man in the chair in front of me said. He appeared to be in his thirties, he had blonde-gray hair, green eyes, and the stench of alcohol roaming from his breath.
"what the hell do you want," I snapped back.
"now now, no need to get aggressive," he replied putting his hands up, his lips slowly forming into a smirk.
"Leave her alone, you can have me, kill me for all I care. But don't you dare touch her," I hear from a voice beside me. I look over to see Eren on the floor also chained up. He had a small hole in his shirt from where he was previously shot, but no wound as his titan abilities had seemed to heal him already.
"E-eren" I said, trying to fight the tears in my eyes as the pain of my wound increased.
"it's all going to be okay (y/n)" he said forcing a smile on his face, but his eyes filled with rage.
"well I don't have to worry about killing her, she's going to bleed out in a few hours which will kill her and the little one inside her," he said calmly crossing his legs and resting his chin on his palm.
I gulped and looked down to my stomach, my baby.
"w-what" eren said looking over at me
"oh that's- awkward.. you didn't know," the man says now chuckling. "and I'm assuming you two are a couple, so then you must be the father... damn that's cold hiding it from him."
"I'm sorry Eren I was going to tell you, I was just... scared. We are so young and I don't know if I'm ready for this," I said gently rubbing circles on my stomach.
"I love you, and our baby. Don't be afraid. (y/n) we have been through so much together, you have always been there for me. I know that you are going to be a good mother. All that matters right now is that you and our baby are ok," he smiles at me with tears glimmering in his eyes. "now you sick f*ck let my girlfriend out of here she needs medical attention," Eren says as his calm happy demeanor turns into rage.
A few weeks ago when experimenting with Hange I learned that I was only able to heal others and not myself. How useful my power could have been right now. But instead, I'm dying.
The man chuckled and got up from his chair and walked towards Eren "I'd rather not" he says before kicking Eren in the stomach and blood spewing onto the ground from his mouth.
"EREN!" I yell before wincing again at the pain.
"be careful Eren Jaeger, don't want you to turn into a titan and kill your lady here, or actually that might be better for her than bleeding out, she'll die quicker from being crushed. We are underground after all," He says as he sits back down.
"what do you want with us," I say in almost a whisper whilst clenching my fists.
"well that is quite a long story but I guess I'll tell you guys since your both going to die soon," he chuckles again and straightens his back.
"a long time ago me and my wife were very in love, we had known each other since we were children and by the time we were teenagers we married. We always had this lust for power and we knew that a mere 60-70 or so years together wasn't enough for us. So let's just say we made a deal with someone from the depths of hell itself. My wife and I were gifted the power of founding titans, these titans are immortal, and with that, we were given 20 pure titans and an area of land, well hidden from the rest of the world. In the end, we had power and the chance to live together forever, however, everything comes with a price. The pure titans in order to live and to generate new titans need to eat human flesh. So we gave them access to as many humans as they wanted. however, over time we realized that we wanted control over more than just the titans but humans as well. So we created the walls, also known as a pen to keep the food for our titans in. Eventually, the second weakness of the pure titans was figured out, they could be killed easily with a simple slice to the nape. So I made a few holes in the walls over the years so they could have more food since the scout regiment was killing so many of them. The devil when making this agreement did not tell us that information, but what he did tell us was that one day someone would be born from the 'Brady' family and take our 'paradise' away. So just in case, I killed all of the Brady family, or so I thought until I met you (y/n), where you killed a sh*t ton of my titans. Anyway, you must be wondering where my wife went. Well, there was another setback to this agreement. Yes, the founding titan is immortal but its power can be taken away. Eren, your father somehow figured out about what me and my wife and done. So he made it his mission to save the people of paradise. In doing so he injected himself with pure titan serum and became a pure titan, then he... ate my wife, leading him to become a founding titan. At first, I thought she was missing or decided that forever was too long and left me. Until I saw you 'Eren Jaeger' walking in Trost District, with my wife's titan. Your father ate her then made you eat him and passed her powers onto you. Now, as to why you are here, I want revenge and to kill the only one that can end me and my wife's paradise. ,"
I could hear my heart beating in my ears, this was too much to take in all at once. I laid there dumbfounded, I looked over to eren to see his eyes wide. Unaware of what to say or do.
" 'you will be gifted the power of immortality and power, but with everything comes a price. One day someone from the 'Brady' family will be born with the power to take your 'paradise' away. But remember with EVERYTHING comes a price.' those were the exact words said to me by this devil. I may be excluding two little pieces of information but I've already said too much". he says as he shifts in his chair and looks at his watch. "oh look at the time! (y/n) was supposed to be dead half an hour ago" he chuckles again. "I'm surprised your still alive"
I look into the mirror beside the chair to see an unrecognizable reflection. My face was pale, lips blue, my eyebags were black, and there was blood all over my shirt. I'm going to die, aren't I...
I tried to generate any sort of electricity but nothing came out. My body shook involuntarily and tears filled my eyes.
"I- I don't want my baby to die. Please just let my baby and eren go," I began to sob.
The man then starts having a laughing fit. "And I didn't want my wife to die but here we are. Also even if I wanted to save just your baby I couldn't, it would be premature and die anyway,"
I slowly made my way towards eren pulling myself along the floor unil I was stopped by the chains. I reached my hand out as far as I could and I felt his fingertips touch mine. "Eren you have to leave, you have to go save everyone. I'm going to die anyway. just know that-" I was fighting back the tears but they continued to pour out again, "- that I will love you, forever and always. We never could have truly been together as your immortal and I am not. But I will always live on within you," I said with my final breath as the fatigue from the blood loss caught up to me. The darkness filled my vision as my head fell limp and my fingertips disconnected from Eren's and fell to the cold floor.
"no... no no no no..... (Y/N) WAKE UP!!"
I wonder what will happen...
