Pets

Chapter 6

Levis POV

The pound was filthy, and it smelled horrible. This was worse than the lab, because I can't stand dirt; I know eren probably went back home, but what about armin? Did they take them to the pet shop again? The man had gotten my crate out and put on a cart with wheels. He rolled it towards another part of the pound and stopped at a big box. He unlocked my cage just as I made a run for it, I ran until I number in to something and fell back; I looked up to see it was another man. Great!
I looked up at the man as he picked me up, he looked like a horse with brown and black hair and hazel eyes. But I wasn't going to waste time, I didn't want to be here! I struggled in his grip as much as I could but he eventually got me in the box. It was at least 2 feet taller than me, so I had to he on my tip toes to peek out of the edge. I sighed and sat down, the floor was covered in newspaper, they'd better hope this was clean.

I looked around and saw others, one had ears like mine, only the color brown, and she was eating a bread and clinging on to it like her life depended on it.

They were two others, one with black hair in a low pony tail with black ears, and was on top of a smaller one with blond hair and ears like armin.

They all stayed in their own little world, as if they didn't know if we didn't get adopted we would be killed. "Oi?" I asked, they kept to their buissnes. They were all girls so it was obvious they wouldn't listen "Oi?!" I yelled out, finally snapping them out of their trance. They looked up at me, "don't you all know that we can die here" I say; the one with black ears nipped the bunny's ones "yes, but what can we do about it?" Asked the blond one.

"Escape, fight back?" I said "to much, we prefer to just play until someone adopts us" said the one with the bread, I mentally facepalm. Useless. "I'm levi, what are yours?" I asked "ymir" the one with black hair says "Christa" the blond one says, she kind of reminded me of armin. "Svasha" the one with brown hair, try to say, since she was scarfing down the bread. "Look, I want to get out of her, and I can get you out too, but I'll need all of you to listen" I say.

Christa and ymir give each other looks before nodding. Christa walks over to Sasha and drags her towards them, while Sasha clings on to the bread. "What's the plan?" Ymir asked "I was thinking, somehow get out of this box by making a hole and we make our way outside" I explain "hmm, oh! The trash chute" christa exclaims. All I heard was trash and immediately hated her plan, "trash shoot?" I ask "its like a slide down to the trash, it'll get us outside faster" she explains. It made sense, but I wasn't thrill in being covered in garbage. But we were talking about getting back to eren, so I was gonna do it, whether I liked it or not.

Eren's POV

I played with a chew toy mikasa bought for me, as we waited news on armin. We decided to take him to the vet because of the red spots, since I begged mikasa to keep him, since he would just go back to where he got the spots. She agreed in him staying and I was relieved; the doctor stepped out of the room and motioned for me and mikasa to come inside. Mikasa picked me up and walked inside, where I saw armin on a table with a needle in his arm, he had tears in his eyes and he was whimpering, his ears flat on his head.

I got out of mikasa's grip and walked over to him, standing on my toes to reach the table and see him. "Its just a rash from an allergic reaction he had to some chemicals, the antibiotics should do the trick, I'll prescribe some and give it to him each day, one in the morning and one at night" the doctor explained and signed a paper, giving it to mikasa. "May I ask, why he looks so sad?" Mikasa asked, the doctor glanced over at armin. "I did had to pin him down a bit to get the IV in his arm, I suppose he's had a traumatic experience with doctors in general" she explains "but I'm sure having a friend will help to cope with that" he added. Mikasa nodded, I looked back at armin and he glanced down at me with sad eyes. I didn't like him to be sad, I always wanted everyone happy. I know how much I made levi happy by smiling, so I smiled at armin and it made him smile a bit. "So when can he leave?" Mikasa asked.

"In a day or two" the doctor said and excused herself, as she left. "Hear that armin?" I asked, he nodded a little. "You get to come home with us soon" I say happily. He smiled and nod, then yawns, closing his eyes a bit. "Let's let him rest eren" mikasa said. I nodded as she picked me up and walked to a chair, sitting down and setting me on her lap. I soon saw armin fall asleep on the table, I couldn't believe he had to go through all that. Why would some people want us for that? Were pets not lab rats. I snuggled close to mikasa and later my head on her shoulder as she petted my ears. I wanted to be with levi again, feel him hold me, and I can kiss him! I yawned and feel in to a slumber full of sweet dreams.
