Sociopathic Killer [Ereri/Riren Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Analysis Five

Eren had woken up to the beeping of a heart monitor and all the while his eyes were adjusting to the brightness of the lights and the light colours around him. His body was numb and when he tried to move anything it hurt him so much.

" Is this what it's like to get shot? Hurts like hell... !"

" Oh good, you're awake! Don't try to move just yet, it's only been about an hour since you were brought here. You sure were lucky, I'll tell you that."

" What happened while I was out?"

" You'll have to ask the Chief of the police investigation that. I'll go tell everyone that you're awake and get you something to eat, so you stay put and don't try to move."

The nurse had left and Eren did as she had instructed since he didn't even want to move due to the pain. When she came back in the room she had a tray and behind her Erwin, a couple police investigators, Armin, and Mina. The nurse set the tray down on the table next to the bed and spoke to Eren again.

" I'm going to adjust the bed so you can talk with them, so this'll hurt for only a few seconds."

He nodded and felt the bed underneath him move. Eventually he was facing everyone in the room and the nurse had set the tray onto his lap. After she left Erwin was the first to ask questions.

" Why did you do that? Do you have any idea how much of a risk you put yourself in?"

" I'm fully aware of that but meeting him was completely coincidental!"

" Why would you bother to hold him down then?"

" What was I supposed to do?! Just let him kill me?! No thanks pal, I had to try to do something to get him remotely close for you to catch him!"

They stopped there mainly because it was straining Eren's throat, but Erwin said one more thing.

" Well I do have to say that what you did was the closest we've gotten to him. He was still in the area about two miles from you, but we couldn't catch him. He paralyzed three of our men; one using his gun and the other two by throwing a blade at them. He's certainly changing how he does things but we will apprehend him. So thank you for your attempt."

Erwin bowed his head, stood, and left. One of the police investigators followed him while the other stayed in the room with a notepad. Armin was almost unreadable with his expression but Mina was easy to read. She was clearly worried out of her mind and on the verge of tears.

" Mina, could you come here?" Eren motioned for her to do so with his fingers as to spare him from moving too much.

She did what he asked and he slowly moved his hand so it was touching her cheek. She was so warm, so full of life, and yet she couldn't live it to the fullest. He smiled ruefully to himself and opened his mouth.

" I know I'm not the best at this whole idea of dating but I'm trying my best. I don't mean to worry you so much, but I just don't want to lose you..."

The brunette moved his hand to the back of her neck and pulled her in for an embrace. He could feel her petting him in an attempt to calm him, but frankly it was only adding onto the stress he'd been feeling. After Mina removed herself from her boyfriend she sat on the edge of the bed and helped Eren eat. The three of them shared jokes when Armin finally decided to join the two love birds in their lively banter, until the topic changed back to the incident. Armin had asked Eren about what the killer looked like and who he was, but Eren only made excuses. He didn't want to share the new information he got with them just yet, and not with the police investigator in the room either.

" Eren why won't you tell us what he looked like?"

" I'm sorry Armin, but when he shot me it was almost as if I was too focused on the wound that I had forgot about his appearance."

" If you say so. Crap! What are we going to tell your parents?! They'll be angry won't they?"

" It's nothing I can't handle bro, besides I won't have to live with them soon. I found a nice little house that I'm going to buy, so it'll be fine this time."

And with that the conversation was over. They continued to talk about other things like school and their jobs until the nurse came in to send Armin and Mina off. He gave Mina a quick kiss on the cheek before she left and gave Armin a bearable hug with one arm. He waved goodbye and watched as the police investigator had left the room. The nurse came back into the room after about ten minutes and cleaned up the room a bit, then readjusted the bed so Eren was lying on his back. Eren had one more question for the nurse.

" Do you think the killer will come after me?"

" ... I don't like being put on the spot with questions like th-"

" Just tell me, I won't care what you tell me. Joining the police is just a stepping stone, after the police I'm joining the military."

" If you say so. Since you slipped through his fingers twice I'd say the third time won't be as easy to escape from. So I bet he'll keep coming after you until you're done for." The nurse breathed in then out and turned to the teenager in the bed, " Well anyway, I hope you get a good nights rest! I'll see you tomorrow morning!" After she spoke she left the room with the cleaning supplies and tray.

If anything the brunette wasn't going to get a good nights rest, but somehow he was able to fall asleep soundly like a baby with ease.

The alleyways were cold, damp, and dark but that wasn't what was bugging the teenager. What was bugging him was how his prey was able to do that to him, if he hadn't said anything back at him he wouldn't have been able to escape before the police arrived. When he got back to his so-called "home," he took out his gun and replaced the live ammo with the plastic bullets made for target practice and started shooting at his target with the image of the brunette.

" How could he have remembered me?! I left that school unnoticed and yet he knew about it?! That damn brat!!!"

Eventually he ran out of bullets but he was still breathing hard and fast. His eyes were wide with amusement and his mouth wore a huge grin on his face. He closed his eyes and lowered his gun, letting out a heavy sigh as he did so, and started to laugh. He couldn't control it but he found the whole event hilarious, he just had to laugh about it. He had calmed down a bit but the images of what had happened about two hours ago kept popping up.

" He seems like someone I can use, aheh. He knows me, he has great defense, and a great sense of what will happen next. I'll need to test his combat abilities though." The thought sent shivers down his spine, " This'll be fun!"

AN: Here's chapter five, now things are going to get hectic. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one!!!
