There Comes A Time

Chapter 8: Manipulation

'It's been a couple of Hours already since me and Armin got here, our task was to stop Eren from fleeing with them. But that isn't the case anymore, especially if those two are in control of Eren. I don't know what they used on him but it's something I've never seen before, who are these two anyway? Why do they want to capture Eren so badly? What are their intentions with us?' Mikasa thought.

Mikasa and Armin were still tied up from when Eren knocked both of them out. They were taken outside of Erens Broken Home and were dropped to the ground, once they regained consciousness they were in a confrontation with Reiner and Bertholdt, the two were still staring at them and grinning at the same time. Eren however shifted his gaze somewhere else and wasn't even focusing on them nor giving them attention. But once Eren was called over by Reiner he didn't even hesitate he walked over like he was their servant.

Reiner: "Yeager you know what you gotta do.........."

Eren ".............. I know what I must do" Eren said.

He approached Mikasa and Armin with both of his blades, he didn't even flinch once, or get fazed, he walked up to them ready to take two more souls, his oura was very dark as well as his will, he didn't even stop once to look at who was in front of him, Mikasa and Armin on the other hand were just staring at him, hoping he would retreat his steps.

Mikasa:"Eren pplllease stop this" a half stuttering Mikasa said. Tears started rolling down her face.
Mikasa: "This isn't.....you... Please Eren stop this, we're your friends, remember the time you saved me back home.

Once Mikasa said that Eren started to flinch as if he was waking up from the mind control, or taking back his body from their control, he gradually slowed down his walk. But he still was fixated on the two, he had no emotion on both of his eyes either. However Armin on the other hand had a small idea, hoping that it would he work he said,

Armin: "Eren Yeager, you are Eren DAMN YEAGERRR, are you going to let them take you without a fight? Remember you saved me as well, I was that close to deaths door, but you sacrificed yourself for me........"
Once Armin stated that he immediately had flashbacks, he was that close to being dead if it wasn't for Eren, he ever started to cry from his own statement.

Once again Eren flinched in his steps and slowed down even more.

Reiner:" What the hell are you doing?............." a pissed of Reiner said.

Reiner: "Finish the damn cleansing, or else I'll kill you and them myself"

Eren stopped in his tracks and started to quiver, he was at a Tug of War between two of his best friends on one side and the enemy on the other.

Armin: "Eren fight it........... Break whatever it is they done to you and let's go home."

Mikasa: "Eren please, please I'm lost in this world without you"

Reiner: "Eren you better finish the job NOWWWW, if you don't then I'll kill you......."

Eren started to gradually move forward just a little bit, but it was at a slow pace,

Armin: "Remember what you said to me.........remember what you promised me, that we'll go out and see the Ocean ourselves" a teary Armin said.

That instantly stopped Eren again, he instantly dropped the blades and put both his hands on his head, he was retaking control but struggling at it, on one said Mikasa was screaming at all the times Eren saved her, while on the other was Reiner shouting his lungs out.

Eren: "Arr....Min....... Mii...... Kasa" a sturdy Eren said, he appeared to break from whatever control Reiner put into him. Mikasa and Armin saw the entire thing and kept on shouting at Eren, telling him to remember his role as a Rival Titan and who his enemies were.
