This World is Hell
Eren's POV:
I woke up to a loud bang from downstairs. I get up and run down to see what had just happened. I look to the front door and see my father hunched over looking like he just lost a fight. I go over to help him but he throws whatever was in his hand (I couldn't tell what it was). I turn around to see a broken beer bottle lying on the floor, assuming that's what he threw at me. By the time I turn back around, my father is already taking off his clothing. I say, "Father? What are you doing?"
He responds with, "What does it look like I'm doing, brat?!" He then lunges at me as though I am his prey. He starts to strip me after he has pushed me to the ground. He is to heavy to push off and all I can do is close my eyes and wait for it to all be over. All I can think is why did this have to happen on my birthday?
As I slowly open my eyes to see why my father has stopped leaving hickeys all over my neck, I realize there is someone holding him by the neck, strangling him I believe. All I can do is watch and hope to not be next. My father's body goes limp after 2 more minutes or so. The man drops him and looks at me. I freeze and start to wonder if this is my last day in this hell of a world. He squats down to look at me eye level. He asks me, "What's your name kid?"
I answer "E-eren."
The man responds with "Alright, Eren can you tell me who this man is to you?"
I answer and say "He's my father, but he treats me badly."
The man looks at my neck and sees all the hickeys my father had just left on it. I look away, embarrassed. I look back at the man who seems to have an expression I've never seen before. It looks like sadness and worry though. The man then says, "Levi. My name is Levi. I'm 16 and your father and I had business that he didn't tend to on time."
I ask "What type of business? I know he illegally gambles and does drugs and alcohol. This isn't the first time he's come home drunk and raped me."
Levi asks with a hint of sorrow in his voice, "Then how many times has he done this to you?"
I answer with, "I've lost count."
Another Man then enters me and my father's home. He looks taller, older, much scarier than my father ever did. Levi says "Who are you? And what are you doing in this house?"
The strange man responds with, "I'm here for the kid of Grisha Yeager. He promised me I could have his son so long as I spare him his life. But I see he's already been dead for a while now. So either hand over the brat behind you or we're gonna have some issues."
Levi knocks the guy out with one good chop to the pressure point of the back of his neck. All I can think about is why would Levi do that for me even though we've only known each other for 10 or 15 minutes. As I jump back to reality, away from my thoughts Levi send a signal to whoever came a long with him.
Levi then says, "Erwin, you and the others can come in now. I've found the 2 people we needed dead."
A tall blonde male walks in through the front door with 2 others, one being very hyper and the other looking around the room.
The tall man says, "Good work Levi, but whose the kid?"
Levi says, "When I broke in I saw Yeager raping his own son, disgusting."
"How old is he?" the tall man asks.
"14" I answer.
Everyone in the room looks over to me. I move a little to keep my nerves from getting out of hand. I hate eye contact and anything that has to do with others. Mainly because my dad would always say crap like people are stupid and won't care how you feel either way. I snap back to reality and look to see Levi introducing them each.
"This guy is Erwin, Erwin Smith, next is Hange Zoe, and this guy here is Reiner, same age as you." Levi finishes and I want to ask where do I go now since you killed my abusive dad, but I refuse and wait for someone to speak. I here the others in the room talking but I can't hear what they're saying.
I debate if I should show them my ears and tail. I decide not to and wonder if that was the right call. I look up when I here Levi call my name and walk to him. He shows the others my neck and they look with sorrowful expressions on their faces. If I didn't know any better I would wipe the sorrow right off their faces.
I hear Levi say, "Eren can live with me and Erwin for the time being. While he lives with us we will homeschool him and feed him scheduled meals everyday."
Levi turns around and asks me, "Is that alright with you?"
I nod my head yes and follow the kind people that offered me to live with them.
