Is he really gone?

VIII

I opneded my eyes, it was the dream world! Finally! I looked around to find Thomas. Then I seen him on the same place with the same pose. I ran towards him. He heightened his head to see who is running. A smile formed on his face. He jumped off the wall and I ran into his arms. I-I can feel him! Oh my god! I started crying all of sudden how happy I was. I missed him so much.

"Shht, it's fine, I am here, I am here Newt", he tried calming me down. We broke the hug and I wiped my tears away. "Sorry, I was so happy that I can hug you again", I said still having this little hiccup from crying. "I am happy too, Newt, but this is only the dream world, I want to see you in real life", he added.

"I reminded myself of everything in my life", I told him. "When I was 6 years old, my parents were shot infront of me and I was taken away, I had also weird dreams lately about seeing us in some mental hospital, its so strange", I made a confused face when thinking about that. Thomas smiled like he wanted to laugh. "That wasn't a mental hospital, Newt that was WICKED, I was a prisoner there too, when they decided to take me as their assistant.", he told me. I looked at him still confused. Wait what? So these dreams I been having about my dad taking me to a mental hospital were false? That was WCKED the whole time? Didn't I just say that my parents were killed infront of my eyes when I was 6?

I started to hold my head, my memories are going completely crazy! What is true now! "Newt?", Thomas put his hand on my back, looking concerned. I started crying slowly again. "My memories are going completely crazy! I don't know what's true anymore!", I had difficulty talking. "It's ok Newt, that happens after you get the heal against the infection", Thomas comforted me. I sighed having the hiccup from crying again.

Then when I wanted to say something, everything was fading away. "Time ran out", I simply said. Thomas nodded, we hugged again quickly and I woke up.

I looked around, I was in my hut again. I sighed and stood up. I walked outside to check on the ship. Most of the ship was actually done. "Looks good, doesn't it?", Grant said proud of himself. Why was he proud? He was only ordering around, gosh this person really is selfish. "Looks good yeah, good job being a good Lieutenant General", I pat him on the shoulder. I could see how I destroyed his selfishness, he just heightened his hand making a "What the hell was that" sign. He shook his head and got back to work.

I chuckled a bit, I am sorry Grant but I do not work well with selfish people. These men are still humans and aren't slaves.

I seen Eren still on the breakfast table making a wodden knife or something in that way. He had a metal knife in his hands and the wood in the other hand and was doing movements like he was peeling a carrot with that knife making the wooden stick sharp. I mean maybe he wasn't doing that but that what it looked in my eyes.

I walked towards him and sat down. Without him even looking who came he knew it was me, I don't understand that. "Hello Newt, what's up?", he asked me. I sat beside him. "Nothing much, I am just a bit bored right now", I said looking what he was crafting. He let the wood on the table and his knife. He turned around and took another small wood out and a knife and put the items in my hand. "Use your imagination and craft something", he simply said taking the wood and knife from the table and continued his work.

I looked at the small wood and the knife. Ok Newt, use your imagination, make something. I started to copy Eren's movements. "Don't copy your homework, Newt", he simply said. "That's not my intention", I responded. "Why are you copying my movements?", he asked not letting his sight of the wood. "I don't have experience with making wood crafts", I responded. He stopped his work and put it back on the table. He looked at me. I looked confused why he was starring at me. "Yes?", I simply asked. "What do you have in mind", Eren asked me. "I want to craft a little bullet out of this wood and use it as a necklace.", I responded.

He nodded and thought me how to do that. Eren is really experienced with wood crafts, he might have a positive record I am sure. So finally I made the bullet. Wow I am proud of myself. "There ya go, you learn fast", he smiled taking back his unfinished work and continued working. "Uh sorry, but do you have any string or something to make a necklace?", I asked him. He stood up and brought back a black string that looked like it was out of leather. That's what what I needed! "Thank you", I exclaimed.

I transformed it into a necklace and put it around my neck. "Perfect", I said smiling. "What are you making?", I asked Eren. "A chest piece, I used to play chess with my dad, before he got killed in a war", Eren responded. I nodded. "I am sorry for your dad", I said paying respect. "Thanks, I can tell you more about my backstory if you like?", he asked me. "Sure, I got time", I responded.
