High School Casualties (Boyxboy)

Chapter 17

Eren felt like his entire body was falling apart. Hell, he couldn't even feel his hands.

'How am I going to survive like this?' Eren asked himself.

He tried to look around to see where he was but it was so dark that he couldn't tell the difference between closed eyelids and open eyelids. He wanted to go to sleep and never wake up but he knew that he couldn't leave Levi. Eren tried to sit himself up but let out a sharp cry when his broken body protested. Outside, he could hear foot steps getting louder and louder until there was a lock being undone and the door flew open. Light flooded the room and Eren closed his eyes against it. Shadows danced across his eyelids and he felt a foot connect with his already broken side. He screamed in pain and slid backwards. Jagged pieces of rusted metal dug into his back and tore up the flesh more than it was before. Eren felt the blood pour out of the wounds on his back and tried to concentrate on something other than the pain around his body. Maniacal laughter filled the room.

"Oh Eren, it's wonderful seeing you in this much pain. If only your mother was here to see you suffer too. Better yet, I wish she was here to suffer with you. But no! You just had to push me to kill her, didn't you? Part of me wants to leave you here to bleed out and rot. Another part of me wants to stitch you up and give you a little time to heal before I do it all over again. And last, but definitely not the least, another part of me wants to watch you get ripped apart by wild animals. Oh yes, that would be truly incredible. Too bad I want to practice new torture techniques. You know, I'm really glad that some of your classmates tipped me off on where you've been hiding out. I mean, I would've been able to find you but they made my job so much easier. Once I've taken care of you, little gay boy gets to di-"

"You will leave Levi out of this!" Eren shrieked.

The surprise was evident on Grisha's face. That surprise turned to anger in about 2.2 seconds. Eren watched him hold his hand out and someone handed him a knife. Grisha slowly walked over to Eren and examined his battered body.

"Don't worry boy. All I'm going to do is make you a little more uglier. Just enough that gay boy wouldn't want you."

Eren's breath caught in his throat. His eyes watched Grisha prowl around him like an eagle ready to swoop in and catch it's prey. Eren steadied his breathing and heart rate and regarded his father carefully. Grisha noticed Eren staring at him and stopped. An evil grin spread across his face.

"Perfect. That's perfect. Oh Eren, you just ruined your own life."

Grisha slowly got to his knees and grabbed Eren's face. He jerked it upright and looked into Eren's oceanic eyes.

"Oh yes. No one will love you now."

Grisha brought the knife up to Eren's face. He made little cuts here and there until he reached Eren's left eye. Eren realized what was going to happen and tried to get out of the grasp on his jaw.

"Keep moving and I'll break your jaw." Grisha told him.

Eren stopped struggling and shut his eyes.

"Eren. Open your eyes. I want to see the pain you feel. I want to see the panic in your eyes as the knife gets closer and closer until finally I can have a present to send to your little gay friend. Just imagine the look on his face when he receives a package in the mail. Just imagine the horror on his face when he opens it and sees your eye all dressed up. Just imagine it and open your eyes boy. Don't make me ask again."

Eren slowly opened his eyes and stared up at the man who apparently created him. Grisha had a wicked smile spread across his face and Eren shuddered. The knife was brought up to his eye. Closer and closer. Eren was mentally preparing for the immense pain he was about to feel. All of a sudden Grisha shoved him backwards.

"I have a better idea." He said grinning.

He snapped and two men stepped forwards. One was bald and very buff while the other one had a full head of hair but was somewhat lanky. The buff man took him by his arms and the lanky man took him by his legs. They hoisted Eren off the ground and carried him out of the box he was staying in. They made their way down the steps and Eren took the chance to look at what was containing him. It just so happened to be a very rusty train car.

'I'm going to need so many shots when I get out of here. Well, if I even get out of here.'

The men carrying him were not careful when they carried him around. They tried to hit him against everything and swore when they didn't. Grisha followed behind them with an evil grin spread across his face. The bald man grunted and jerked his head to the right. Lanky man nodded and shuffled backwards into a room. It was completely dark until Grisha turned the lights on. The men carried Eren to a big metal bed. They tossed him onto it and Eren's teeth almost immediately started chattering. Grisha snapped and the men tied him down. Grisha stepped forwards and smiled down at Eren.

"It's sad how pathetic you are. I have never recognized you as my son and I never will. Oh how I wish your friends were here to watch. I know! I'll kidnap them too! I'll enjoy hur-"

"Boss! We have an issue!" A voice from down the hall called.

A man with a snake tattoo crawling up his bulging arm ran into the room.

"Paul and Raul are on the chase after two kids who were spying on us. What are your orders?"

"Bring them back here so I can kill them." Grisha said and then dismissed snake man with a wave of his hand.

Snake man nodded and left.

"Now then, where were we? Ah, yes. I remember now. I was just about to cut your pretty little eye out. Well then. Shall we?"

Grisha stepped forwards and looked at Eren. His greasy hair flopped down into his face. He pushed the pieces behind his ears and motioned to someone to hold Eren's head down. He leaned over Eren and brought the knife to his eye again. He brought it down slowly and giggled at the fear in both of Eren's eyes. The knife touched Eren's skin and Eren let out a whine. Grisha started digging out Eren's left eye and laughed as Eren screamed out in pain. His eye was pulled out and the nerve cord was severed. Blood pumped out of Eren's empty eye socket. Grisha set the knife and eye on a dirty table and smiled in satisfaction at Eren's current state. Snake man ran in to the room again but this time he was hauling to people in who looked about Eren's age. Eren turned his head slightly and looked at the two.

"Eren!" the redhead yelled.

"Isabel! Shut it!" the blond boy said.

"Eren! Levi loves you! You need to stay strong! Help will come! I kno-"

She was abruptly cut off when a knife shot out of nowhere and hit her in the throat. Blood bubbled up and out of her mouth. The blond man screamed and tears ran down his face. Grisha walked over to him and grabbed his jaw.

"Now then. What's your name?" He asked.

"F-F-Farlan..." He sobbed.

"Well, Farlan. If you tell me who you work for, then I'll let you go free. Well, as free and you'll be with some dire injuries. So what do you say? Information for freedom?"

Farlan clenched his jaw.

"No. I'd rather die here with Isabel than give away my people."

"That can be arranged."

Grisha snapped and held out his hand. Someone handed him a knife and stepped back.

"Any last words?" Grisha asked him.

"Eren, stay alive. He's comi-"

Grisha slit his throat. He stood up and wiped his bloodied hands on his jeans.

"Well, there has been a lot of excitement going around today. I think I'll take a little break from torturing you, Eren. Rest up, you'll need it."

Grisha turned and left the room. His men filed behind him and shut the door behind them.

'Am I going to be able to survive? Is Levi really going to come?'

Eren squinted with his one eye and tried to look around in the dark before his body gave up and he fell unconscious.
