"Gather all the pieces?" I tilt my head back in aggravation. "Ugh another puzzle I have to solve, woopdy-frickin-doo." Lillya messes with her face as I continue trying to figure out this new text.
"So are you gonna let me in on what was so important; and what did that Rika girl want to talk to you about later? Any idea?"
"Not a clue, I've barely met her one other time, and it was pure coincidence, and actually to be honest, I don't exactly know where to start with this, I'm pretty confused myself. I'll be right back, don't leave." I get up and close the book, I head to my mom's room to ask her what I'm supposed to do in order to find out if Lillya really is my other half.
"I have no clue, hun; remember I never awakened my gift so I don't know how to go about all of this, I was told some of the stories by my grandpa and dad and stuff but he said since the blood should be dying there would be no reason to continue telling the tales; so I never really got much info on the stuff. All I know is once you meet your other half, you just 'know' it, maybe it's like a feeling you getting in your stomach, like when you talk to your crush and get butterflies in your stomach and stuff." She shrugs her shoulders and continues putting her laundry up like she was doing when I first entered, I can't blame her for not knowing much since the circumstances were out of her hands.
I head back to my room to look through the other books, but I walk in on Lillya snooping through them, "what the hell?!" I run over and snatch the book from her hands, and close all the books around her.
"What the hell kind of cult are you in, dude?" Just then the doorbell rings.
"Just wait here while i get that, and DON'T read any more of these." She ignores me and follows behind as I go to answer the door, "Or not?" I say sarcastically. I open the door and some guy is standing there, blonde hair and grey eyes with a pale complexion, probably only an inch or so taller than me, "Uhh, yes?"
"Oh my, uhh, c'mon say something." He turns his head to the side a bit and reveals someone standing behind him, hiding. He looks up at me and smiles apologetically, "we came all this way and now you're going to be shy in front of him?"
"RIKAAAA!!" screams Lillya, barely holding her voice in at all as she pushes me aside like she did before and peaks around the guy trying to catch a glimpse of her again.
"Sorry, she said she needed me to come with her, I'm Eren Sawyer."
Just then we all pause, our eyes wide; a heavy thud pounds inside my chest and I fall to my knees in pain, they do the same, gripping their chests and gritting their teeth. "No way!" I think to myself, is this that 'feeling' mom was talking about? Another hard thud pounds inside my chest, it's like my heart is punching me from the inside, "KAGH!!" I puke up blood as the pounding continues, I gasp as I try to make it stop somehow. The others are doing the same, "what do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!" I can't think straight, all the pounding and blood is blurring my vision, as I try to stay awake I watch one by one as the other 3 begin falling over in this massive pool of blood we all created, then before I know it, everything goes black and the pounding stops.
I slowly open my eyes, everything is blurry and I can't really see anything, "R-Rika..." I manage to call out to Rika, but no answer, "Eren?" same silence, "Lillya....anyone?" nothing. The pounding in my chest has stopped, and my heartbeat is normal, I can feel dried blood crusted on my chin and on the corners of my mouth. Once my sight clears up, I realize I'm seeing my rooms ceiling, "mom..." I try to call out, but my voice hurts so much I can barely speak. After I sit there for a few minutes, I'm able to muster up some strength to sit up, maybe even stand and walk around. After a few tries I get to my feet and wobble to the door, I use the wall for support as I walk down the hall, then the stairs and look around, mom isn't anywhere in sight, neither was she in her room when I walked by it. "Where did they go...?" I force myself to take a shower to get this blood and sweat off me, and once I'm out I catch mom coming inside, tossing her keys on the table. "Where'd you go?"
"We have a problem." She says a bit frantically.
"What is it?"
"You have 3 Given Handlers."
