Nothing But A Freak (An Ereri FanFic)

Chapter 24

Hey guys! Kinda early update? Yeah, I know. Listen, I did a really stupid thing and I got in trouble, but my dad didn't take my phone away? Don't know why, but whatever. I'm not complaining. Anyways, read on!!

"This is it?" Mikasa asked as they looked up at the old house. It was tall with red shingles on the roof. Vines were creeping up the side of the house and the grass grew tall. Weeds covered the lawn and the paint was chipping on the walls of the house.

"This is it." Mr. Pixis, who they've come to call just Pixis, nodded.

"This is the one place Grisha has left to go. That means if Eren isn't dead, he's in here." Jazz, also known as Mr. Sizzle, said.

"What if he is dead? And he came here for nothing?" Jean asked, sounding nervous and worried.

"He's not dead." Mikasa growled, her voice betraying her anger as it wavered. Jean only looked away as she turned back. "It's only been two months. I know he'll survive. He's waiting for us." Mikasa said, determination clear in her voice. Jean said nothing as they looked at the house.

"It's now or never." Armin said quietly, a fire in his eyes. They crept towards the house, ducking low in the tall grass and moving as silently as they could. They got up to the porch of the house and Jazz peaked up before hopping up. He glanced quickly into one of the windows before looking around and saying it was clear. He called beckoned everyone else up and they all looked in the window.

"From what I see," Pixis started off in a whisper. "There's going to be a second floor, maybe an attic, a few rooms and a basement." He explained, pointing to a staircase. "I want Connie, Armin, Marco, Sasha, Petra, Jazz Hanji and Erwin to go upstairs. Jean, Levi, Mikasa and I will go downstairs." Pixis directed. Everyone nodded as Jazz pick the lock on the door open. They all went inside and split up. Mikasa's group checked the first floor first, finding it so far to be just a normal house in the mortal world.

"Okay, here we go. He's most likely to be down here, so be ready." Pixis explained as stood in front of the door that led to the basement. He opened the door, revealing a dark staircase. They all went down it, being careful on creaky stairs. When they got to the bottom, they glanced around a corner and saw Grisha standing in front of a metal table with a hunk of bloody flesh on it.

'I'll take care of him.' Pixis mouthed, pulling a knife out of his pocket. He slowly crept up behind the demon who was cutting open the hunk of flesh. In one swift movement, he wrapped his arm around Grisha's neck and pressed a knife to his throat. Grisha yelped in shock, trying to spin around as Pixis struggled to press the knife down and slit his throat. Grisha elbowed Pixis in the stomach but that gave Pixis just enough time to slit his throat. Pixis dropped the corpse, stepping away as he began bleeding out.

"He would've been stronger if he was healthier." Pixis explained as Grisha twitched, his nerves shutting down as his blood spilt onto the floor, staining the concrete. The group nodded as they walked over to Pixis, stepping over the thin, dead body of the demon. Pixis walked to a door, grabbing the handle and twisting it. Their nerves rolled in their stomachs as they pushed open the door into the dark room. It was plain with light grey, concrete walls, concrete floors and a concrete ceiling. In the middle of the room sat a chair with a brunet half life strapped in.

"Oh my God." Mikasa breathed, her eyes widening.

"I'm gonna be sick." Jean muttered, turning away with a hand to his mouth. Armin's eyes watered as Levi and Mikasa ran into the room. Pixis turned on a light, finally showing Eren. He was covered in open wounds, some scabbed over in dried blood and some fresh.

"Eren!" Mikasa cried, holding him upright as Levi untied him. Pixis rushed in as well, Jean and Armin coming into the room and helping. "Oh God, Eren." Mikasa whimpered, hugging him close and burying her face into his blood matted hair.

"Armin, go get Jazz and call the school's ambulance." Pixis ordered. Armin nodded, flying off as fast as he could. A few moment's later, Armin returned with Jazz and Erwin, the rest of them having stayed outside to watch for the ambulance.

"We've got to get him outside." Jazz carried him out, ignoring Grisha's body as they brought him outside.

"Oh my God." Connie whispered as Sasha and Marco gasped. The ambulance showed up, taking Eren back with Jazz and leaving the rest of them.

"We've got to get back. If he's in the mortal world too long he won't heal as fast." Petra explained, trying to comfort Armin and Mikasa. Everyone nodded as they headed back.

Okay, wow. Short with a lame fight scene. I'm so sorry, how about another update? *Grins* see you guys in a few!
