pro·voke

/prəˈvōk/

verb

stimulate or give rise to (a reaction or emotion, typically a strong or unwelcome one) in someone.

Naturally, Dr. Ackerman telling me not to do anything shitty gave me the urge to do exactly that. Maybe it's just my rebellious nature but I also, definitely, just want to piss him off.

If he isn't afraid of me then I shouldn't be afraid of him. It was time to take my defenses down and begin offence.

He wants to see me break, to lose composure. Well, I want to see him break too. He acts all emotionless and collected but I've seen it a few times, like when he shoved me into the wall after I cracked it. He isn't a robot and I can get to him.

I'm curious to see how far he'll let me push him before he finally gives in and puts me in my place like he's been claiming he can. I don't care how much he hurts me, I want to see who he really is under his mask.

I scootch over to the button and summon Ryder, already forming a plan. He comes quickly, tucking a stray hair behind his ear while the rest of his long, brown locks are up in a bun. "What do you need?"

I smile charmingly. "Food."

Ryder nods and leaves, locking the door behind him. I wait for his return. Dr. Ackerman hates messes so what I'll do is leave a huge mess behind for him to find.

Ryder returns and hesitantly sets the plate within my reach. "Here you go, Eren."

I glance at the plate which is void of silverware, then at the nurse. "Are you going to take this off?" I ask, shrugging my shoulder within the straight jacket.

"N-no." Ryder stutters. "I have orders to keep you restrained."

I glare. "Then how am I supposed to eat?"

"With your mouth." He says and looks away.

"Like an animal, like a dog."

I growl lowly. This is humiliating but I want to get a few bites in before I proceed with the plan. I lower my head slowly and take a bite, unable to stop my cheeks from reddening slightly. I eat about half the meal before stopping.

There is only one way to do this right, I need Titan. I lower my head. Dr. Ackerman basically already knows how I do it, it doesn't matter if I show him now. I bite into my hand hard and fast while Ryder rushes forward to stop me.

He's too late.

I can feel myself changing, a laugh rising deep within my gut. I feel an adrenaline rush and it's exhilarating. I look up through Titans eyes and zero in on the only target in the room. I lunge at Ryder and roar, snapping my jaws like a rabid wolf. Ryder jumps back quickly and scoots out of reach before I can grab him. Still, Titan is tearing at our feet to get to him. We might even break our ankles if it means we could tear into his sweet, sweet flesh and taste his blood.

Ryder gets up and runs out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him. We roar loudly and start gnawing on the floors and walls. We take the plate and slam it against the wall. It doesn't break since it's plastic but the food goes flying, coating the floor and walls.

We continue to scream and wail until we finally exhaust our body and I can feel Titan draining away. I lie down and pass out.
