Wherever I Go

Chapter Thirty-Three

Third Person POV

"Ugh..."

The one first to wake up was Eren. Opening this turquoise eyes, he took in his surroundings.

"Huh?"

He looked down to see his ankles tied to chair legs and his wrists tied together behind the chair. The room was dark, the only light that illuminated the room was the few windows and the large computer screen on the opposite side of the room. Next to him was a still unconscious Mikasa, in the same condition that he was in.

How long have they been here? Where the hell were they? he pondered, the memories of what happened before coming back to him. "Mikasa...!" he called to her, trying to wake her up. He tried moving his legs and arms around but the rope was too tight.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door creaking as it opened behind them, then it shut.

"You're awake." a low voice began as the lights above him cut on. Eren turned his head to the side as much as he could to try and see who was speaking. "Woah there, don't break your neck."

"Who the hell are you?" Eren hissed as he heard footsteps coming closer until the man came into view.

"The name's Zeke." The man informed him. Eren studied his profile. He looked familiar to Eren, but he didn't know why. "Wow, you don't look like your father that much."

"How do you know my father?" Eren asked, noticing the man's similar looks to his father. It's like they were brothers or something.

"Doesn't matter." Zeke said as he scratched his stubbly beard, looking down at Eren.

"Well let us go!" Eren demanded, struggling against the tight ropes.

"Why would I after I worked so hard to get you?" Zeke asked him, as if he expected an answer.

Both boys turned their attention to Mikasa as she let out a groan. She slowly raised her head up and opened her gray eyes to look around.

"Anyways," Zeke started, turning his attention away from the girl, "My stupid apprentices couldn't get you, so I did it myself."

"You mean Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie?" Eren questioned after hearing the word 'apprentices'.

"Yes."

Eren glared up at the man, "Why would you send them after me? Why do you want me so badly?"

"What's going on?" Mikasa quietly questioned, really confused on this whole situation.

"Shut up for now, little girl." Zeke said to her, briefly glancing in her direction. Mikasa just glared up at him.

"Hey don't talk to her like that!" Eren growled, "and answer my damn question!"

Zeke sighed, "Your special abilities."

"What?!" Eren spoke up, "But Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie are just like me, why do you-"

"They're not like you, Eren." Zeke cut him off, then continued, "You're the original. They came from you."

"How..."
