-Eren P.O.V-

To say getting around the past 500 years was hard would be an understatement. There were many times I wanted to return and ask for Levi's forgiveness. Except I chose this myself and I will not turn back. Everything did get a bit easier when I took in Mikasa. I remember the day I met her. I was walking down the sidewalk looking more like a zombie than a living being, when I saw her. Five years old and begging for food. I walked to her and asked "why." Her answer shocked me the most. "Three men came to my house and killed my parents. I wasn't strong enough to save them, but I did save myself," She said. "What is your name," I remember asking. After she answered I asked the question that would change my life. "Would you like to come live with me," her answer shocked me more than her back story. "Yes."

It has been ten years since then. Mikasa is fifteen and going through High School. She's also made some good friends. Armin, Marco, Christa, and Sasha. They are pretty much inseparable the way they always have sleep overs. Before you say anything, I trust Mikasa and she has had incidents at school where she beat people for harassing her. Hence, why I trust her.

Crap, I almost forgot that the last payment for the mortgage is due today. I still have  half an hour before the agent is here to pick it up, I better get it ready. I closed my eyes and imagined what I needed then snapped my fingers. Two thousand dollars and some appeared stacked neatly on my desk. I took four $500 stacks and bagged them for the agent. I set the rest in one of the multiple hidden safes leaving $300 out for snacks and anything the kids needed. What can I say it's a sleep over night. 

After the agent left I started setting up for them since they'd be home any minute. Just as I set the potato chips down the door opened and as I went to greet them I felt wind rush past me. My eyes widened as I turned back to the bowl I had set down not even one minute ago. God damn it Sasha. The bowl was empty.

Sasha walked in with the others looking innocent but I knew the truth. "Hey Sasha how were the chips," I asked smiling. "They were great," she breathed out before she paled realizing what she had said. I just smirked. Armin, Marco and Christa started chuckling. "Mikasa what do you want to do for the sleep over this time," I asked. "I was thinking we could head out and watch the waves. You know have a campfire," she said back. "Okay," I replied heading out to grab some fire wood and make a pit for it. I know what you may be thinking, you ran away from the ocean and now you live next to it. What are you thinking? Well I've lived here for 500 years. If someone runs away from something the last place you'd think to look is near the thing they ran away from in the first place.

Mikasa and the others came out and sat on the sand watching the waves as I set up the fire. "Eren, you look pale. Well, paler than usual. Are you feeling alright," Mikasa asked. I just smiled and nodded. I changed my appearance too. I was no longer tan skinned with brown hair. I was pale and had black hair. I couldn't change my eye color though, it was one of the things he loved most about me. The other's talking soon became background noise as I watched the ocean. I still miss you, Prince Levi.
