The video above provided the mood for Eren's first POV. also this chapter will have some gore in the first part. Just a heads up(: Sorry for the really slow build up, It will get better soon I promise!   

Eren's POV

I was exhausted by the time Mikasa left. Her visit was pretty normal, a ridiculous amount of questions and some reminders from her and Armin. I sighed and collapsed into my bed. Without a doubt the worst part of the conversation was our discussion of the last few weeks. 

Flashback begins 

I turned around the corner on my way back to my apartment. Was it just me or did it smell something strangely metallic here. I frowned. I knew that smell but I couldn't put my finger down on it. Whatever, I would be back in my room soon enough enjoying Netflix and eating leftovers. I turned the last corner and stopped cold. Oh my God OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod. What I saw before me I will never forget. 

A man lay sprawled on his stomach on the pavement. The smell from earlier was blood. It pooled around the man's (at least I think it was it man. It's hard to tell when their face is smashed in) head and spilled into the street. Shards of skull and brains smeared the buildings on either side of the alleyway . His hands and feet had been cut off for some reason. It was overkill in all senses of the word. I leaned over resting  hand on the wall and threw up. "It's just a dream" I whispered. Just a dream, just a dream. I tilted my head back and started counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on and on to calm myself. 

. . . . . .Time skip about 5 days(still in flashback). . . . . . 

I picked the manilla envelope on my coffee table. That was weird it only had my name on the front but there was no address or return address. Or stamp.  My heart hammered in my chest. This had to do with that night didn't it. I slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the crisp white letter inside. 

Dear Eren Jaeger,

                   Exactly five days ago at 9:45 you came across the death of a man named Flagon Turret who had seemingly been killed by a blow to the head. So far you have mentioned this incident to nobody else. As you can understand secrecy in a world such as ours is vital. Therefore the threat that you may report this incident will be eliminated. As you did not purposely uncover this murder we collectively chose to give you a fair warning. However, your death is unavoidable. If there is anything else you would like to complete in your short, tragic, meaningless life I suggest that you do it quickly. 

The Survey Corps 

If you couldn't tell this letter was written by Levi. He's so nice (;

End flashback 

I groaned again and slunk back into my bed. Whoever was coming to kill I hope that they hurry the fuck up. I'm really sick of waiting to die. I glanced over at my bedside table. Thats weird where did my picture go?

Levi's POV

I have a problem. I may be a talented assassin but even I have guidelines. One of which being I won't kill a child. Well, then again Eren isn't exactly five. He looked around fifteen in the picture. Maybe the picture was taken a while ago. I removed the picture from the frame and scanned it again. There, in the corner was a date! I read it then groaned and rubbed my temples. It was taken a month ago. I had made it aback to my apartment and was now sitting on the couch obsessing over the weight of my life's problems. Wait. I had the picture in my apartment. I took the picture from his apartment. 

"That's it" I growled "I'm done" and promptly stormed out to take a shower. I guess in the letter I originally wrote I really meant short. Ahhhhhhhhh what in the name of god was I going to do. Contacting Eyebrows was out of the question. Hanji wouldn't be able to help me at all. And there was no else with my level of skill and intelligence that I could ask. (not to brag or anything)I had no choice to go through with it. "Well, I'm going to be mentally unstable for the rest of my life" I mumbled. 

Time skip to tomorrow (sorry for all the time skips lately) 

I closed my eyes and breathed through my nose. Then opened them. I've killed to many to count. How could this be any different? I stared at the sleeping child in front of me. Get it over with while he's sleeping I guess. I pulled out my SIG Sauer P320 pistol, cocked it and aimed at the kid's head. 

The kid woke up at that moment and opened his eyes. I've never seen eyes like that before and I've seen a lot of people. 

I can't do it, I can't do it. I cannot do this.
