Cold Colours (EDITING)

A little insight (2.O)

Eren's POV

(To all of my readers who have been around since the very beginning of this book... this chapter is completely new. There wasn't enough story in the original to explain things, so... enjoy!)

"...You're sure?" His voice echos in the empty space around him, his hand gripping onto the wooden ledge so tightly his knuckles turned white.

In front of him stood a perfect view of the world. A city untouched by pollution, a starry sky hanging upove the world. Behind him, music flooded from an apartment that lit up like a light.

"Yes, I'm sure. More than sure actually... just... watch her ok? She's not safe." A voice as familiar to him as the back of his hand leaked from the phone, cold as ice yet laced with care and compassion.

Eren's head turned to the side as a sigh left his lips. He didn't want to do this...

"Why don't I just bring her to you? Can't you watch her better than I can?" He mutters, looking at the forest surrounding his house.

"...Me? Watch her? Eren you and I both know you are both more capable and more accepted for the job. So shut up and make sure (Y/N) gets through the night alright?" Levi huffs from the other side of the line, his hands gripping onto his phone as tightly as Eren's was.

Levi's eyes scan over the same lines on his monitor again and again. Checking and re-checking the information being given to him from around the city.

He had spies everywhere, and they were all giving him... alarming news...

They were changing. Their regular behaviors... the way they act and the way they feed... it was changing. It was shifting. And that wasn't a good thing.

"...Yes sir..." Eren's answer made Levi nod, and without a second thought he hung up the phone. One more thing taken care of.

Eren sighs as the line goes dead. With an eye roll he closes his phone and stuffs it in his pocket, leaning against the railing.

This was getting bad.

The whole situation at work wasn't getting any better. The past week they had had five lab accidents... three scientists had been sent to the hospital and four rooms had been blown to pieces.

He himself was completely over his work, and wanted nothing more than for the scientists to make a breakthrough and send them all home.

But... that wasn't ever going to happen...

Eren knew it, Armin knew it, Annie knew it, Levi knew it... they all did. Yet the scientists keep on giving their tests and the subjects kept on breaking under the pressure.

And now... (Y/N) was in danger because of his work. If Levi wasn't the head of this... if the man had just dropped everything the second things had gotten out of hand, (Y/N) would have nothing to worry about. She would be living her life and perhaps have a soulmate that could be trusted. But... because of who they were and what they worked for... neither (Y/N) or (F/N) was ever going to be safe...

It ate at Eren...

"Baby?" Eren jumps at the voice, turning towards the house with a forced smile.

"Oh! (F/N), what's up?" (F/N) frowns, her hand slipping from the door and allowing it to close behind her. Eren hadn't noticed her open the door... that was never a good sign...

"... nothing, just checking on my man." She came to stand beside Eren, looking out at the city for a moment before her gaze shifted up to Eren. "How is my man doing? He seems a bit off."

Eren doesn't pay a lick of attention to (F/N), instead looking out at the city beneath them. He looked as though he was in peace at the moment, but he was quite the opposite.

He was thinking... should he tell (F/N)? She doesn't even know about Levi and (Y/N) yet... but she should. He also had to keep (Y/N) here somehow... and (F/N) was the only one who could convince her to stay.

But how? (Y/N) could be very stubborn sometimes...

Eren's mind flips through memories of (Y/N), trying to figure out what he should-

"Oh! Of course!" He jumps up suddenly, his eyes lighting up and a smile appearing on his face. (F/N) blinks in surprise, looking up at Eren like he had just spoken Latin.

"...what?" Eren raises his hand in a praying position before turning to (F/N) and grabbing her shoulders.

"Remember the most recent attack!" He almost shouts at his lover, his body buzzing with the solution to his problem. (F/N) furrows her brows, even more confused by his outburst.

"...Yeah, the crazy cannib-"

"Well do you remember what street it was on?" (F/N) blinks once more, trying to piece together Eren's stream of words. She opens her mouth to answer only to be cut off. "It was only a few blocks down from (Y/N)'s House! We have to keep her here, meaning she can't go home and I make Levi happy by keeping an eye on her!"

Eren pulls away from (F/N) in his excitement, pacing back and forth.

"All we need to do is get her to watch the news clipping and then she'll be scared into staying here with us for a few days! Its brilliant!" He laughs and turns to (F/N) once more, his arms raising in victory. "Yes! It's a perfect plan!"

"Wow wow wow." (F/N) steps forwards and grabs Eren's arms, forcing them down by his side. "Perfect plan? Keep (Y/N) here and watch her? What are you going on about?"

Eren looks down at (F/N), a smile still on his face as he took ahold of his lover's hands and held her close.

"(F/N) it's perfect! (Y/N) is being hunted and Levi can't watch her himself, so he told me to keep an eye on her. All you need to do is show her the attack and then we'll be set!"

(F/N) blinks, her head shaking in a 'no'.

"Eren you're making no sense! What's going on?"

"(Y/N) is Levi's soulmate." Eren explains, causing a gasp to fall from (F/N)s lips. "And She is in danger."

(F/N)'s eyes were wide, her body frozen. "S-she didn't tell me... but she told you!"

"No, no baby I was there when they saw each other for the first time. That's beside the point. The point is (Y/N) is being hunted for being Levi's soulmate and we need to make sure she stays safe." Eren explains, holding onto (F/N)s hands tightly. "Please... please help me here..."

(F/N)'s haze falls to Eren's chest, her mind running a mile a minute.

"I... I guess we don't have a choice do we?"
