Sociopathic Killer [Ereri/Riren Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Analysis Two

It was another cold day walking to the bus stop, and another day since the last school shooting a couple days ago. Even though the police had reassured the students and staff not to worry, it only convicted them to do so even more. What they didn't realize was that the three students closest to Thomas Wagner had been there at the time of the murder. One of the three was waiting for the school bus when the other two showed up as well. The teen looked over and simply waved, but he could see that the other two weren't over it yet. Not by a long shot.

" Hey Eren, you been waiting long?" The blonde male spoke up to try and cheer up the atmosphere.

Eren, the brunette standing under the cover of the bus stop, shook his head indicating that he hadn't. He looked over to the girl next to his childhood friend and walked over to her. He gently placed his arms around her and in turn she embraced him tightly.

" Eren! T... Thomas is.... he's gone! He's gone...." She screamed from the pain of her brother's death, everyone thought they were dating based on the fact that they looked nothing alike.

" It'll be okay, it has to. The police will catch the guy behind these shootings and after that we can finally make peace with the world."

She shook her head in disapproval and continued to cry in his hold. He held her tightly and looked up to Armin, the blonde male, who wore a saddened expression, but he was doing his best to hold everything back for her sake.

When the bus arrived the three of them got on and sat in the very back as they didn't want anyone to ask them about anything. The girl lay her head atop of Eren's shoulder as the bus started to move. The brunette simply looked out the window replaying what he had seen the night of the murder. The four of them had gone out that night to join the others for a surprise birthday party for Thomas, but that was when the other three turned back to check on him after hearing something behind them. One minute the four of them were walking down the sidewalk and then the next they saw their best friend on the ground in agony. Eren handed the girl over to Armin as he didn't want anything to happen to her, not like last time, and rushed over to Thomas. When was close he felt something graze his cheek and after that the ringing of a gun after its shot. The three of them heard footsteps after about a minute and what came into view was the one behind it.

Though the three of them were the only ones to see him, they couldn't see his face due to the fact that they were in the park and the lights weren't on yet. Eren, however, could never forget those cold grey eyes. His eyes were the only thing he could see and the only thing he would never forget. His movements were so swift and precise that they hadn't been on time to take action when they watched the culprit use a knife to cut into Thomas's chest and cut in designs onto his body. Eren yelled for Armin to cover the girl's eyes and to get her out of there, and as they did so, the brunette remained on his knee watching the murderer manipulate his friend's body. He could see the sickening smile and hear his laughing, a true killer in the moment. If it weren't for Armin's quick thinking Eren would've been next, the police sirens were what made the culprit run off.

During the interrogation, the police had asked if he was there during the murder. As much as he wanted to say he was, he didn't. He didn't want to lie to the police nor did he want to re-live the event, so he remained silent for the rest of the interrogation. Now here they were, still alive and walking towards their unknown futures. Eren could feel the girl's, Mina's, grip on his hand tighten and in turn he did the same to let her know that he was there. Mina and the brunette were in fact dating but nobody saw it that way for some reason. She was Eren's second, the first however, well. He didn't want to remember how he could've done something but he hadn't. His first was the first killed before all the rest, which made him all the more anxious of who would be next. He never expected Thomas to be on the culprit's hit list, who would want to kill him? Sure there were the jerks who messed with him, but with the brunette there nobody dared to mess with him. Eren promised himself after the mourning ceremony at the school, that he'd become stronger so that if and when he came face-to-face with the killer again, he'd make sure he was sent to prison.
