Blue Eren

Wafa

Eros had been born in Samsun, Turkey to a Saudi Arabian mother called Wafa and a Turkish father called Yousef.
They now lived in Riyadh.
Wafa was a cousin to Eren and Evie though she had never met them.
Wafa was true to her name, loyalty, she was always there for her family and did her best with an unruly son.
Yousef was no different to his name, he was prideful, to the point of spite and jealousy.
Eros' birthname was Edan meaning fire, he was angry and spiteful, his favorite cousin was Yusha, he had been told stories of how selfish his family were, the ones who had left for America and England to leave them behind poor and broken.
Eros chose to call himself Eros in the delusional belief he was loved by all women, he wasn't.
At the wedding of his mother's friend Turki, Eros had tried to pick up a girl who was promised to a medical student.
It had ended with Eros groping her and being dealt a hiding by the girl's father. Eros had left in shame only to return shortly after to shame his already embarrassed mother for his actions. His father was ashamed to for different reasons, that Eros hadn't fought back.
Yousef's smile had returned when Eros pulled a brick out of his robe striking the girl's father in the head with it. The daughter went to her father who was dazed but would be fine and slapped Eros across the face. He spat on her calling her a 'wailing dog'.
Yousef had laughed and clapped as he and his son was escorted from the wedding ceremony. The authorities had been informed, Eros had attacked a former police officer, this was a first offence and he got a suspended sentence and a heavy fine.
Yousef wasn't as happy when he asked Wafa to get her friend Turki to pay it and she refused.
"He is wealthy, let him pay, our son was looked down upon by that snotty girl, who does she think she is?"
"I will not ask him! We must pay, I saw this behavior coming from him, he needs to be sent to the army and taught real discipline."
"No son of mine will fight for Saudi Arabia, what has it ever done for me?"
"It has treated us well but you are never happy."
"While your damned cousins live in America and England getting fat off western money I live in poverty! Me, you hear? Me! I am the one who should be wealthy!" He beat his own chest angrily for effect.
Eros gave his opinion. "I want to go to America and find an American girl, they're easy."
Yousef laughed.
"Do not talk about women that way Edan!"
"It's Eros dammit mother, call me that you old goat!"
Eros was starting to get worse, he would steal and attack people smaller than him.
The shame of it all was too much for a kind mother who did her best for everyone.
The shame became too much.
One morning she hanged herself.
Eros had found her, he had no remorse or sadness, he screamed at her and punched the corpse in anger, blaming her for his downward spiral.
Yousef had given Eros a beating for it, his son saw only anger, retaliating by hitting his dad, stunning him.
Eros picked up a knife ramming it into Yousef's throat.
He died gargling and choking on his own blood.
When the anger subsided Eros couldn't believe what he'd done.
He went to bed expecting it to be a bad dream, when he awoke he knew differently.
He spoke to Yusha on social media, he talked wicked things with him about their anger for the family they had.
Eros trusted his favorite cousin and told him everything. Yusha promised to send him a first class ticket to New York with a proceeding flight to Indiana.
It was sent and booked, Eros gathered his things and with a change of clothes he successfully got the flight out of Riyadh.
Yusha had a hotel room set up for him where he would meet with him in private and set up a new identity for him.
Then one day Yusha was murdered.
His ghost came to Eros cloaked in flame, he talked of seeing the fires of Hell.
Eros found this exciting thinking himself a special human being interacting with his dead cousin.
He asked Yusha how he'd escaped Hell.
Yusha had exploded how he died a wealthy man and bought his temporary freedom from Azrael with the bonus of taking one family member back to Hell with him, he'd picked Evie. He wanted Eren to suffer, this was perfect for him. He'd demanded Eros take care of Eren, sending her to the afterlife in exchange for his help, Eros agreed.
He had seen pictures of Eren and Evie, even dyeing his hair blue, promising himself to return to his natural dark hair color when both girls were dead.
Wafa cried for him.
