Chained (Ereri AU Sequel)

The Rest of Eternity

"Your boyfriend Levi.. Ah... Lets sit down for a bit, shall we?" Eren's mom motioned them to a tree, sitting down in the shade. Eren knew that she had him sit down to try to ease the fiery temper he had. Meditating mentally, he prepared for the information she was about to throw at him.

"I saw what happened to Levi. He died in the hospital, after a car wreck, when you pulled the plug two months later, am I correct?" She kept her voice soft and gentle, considering the delicate situation being shoved onto the emotionally unstable teenager.

Eren nodded slightly, feeling his mind get flooded by the dreadful images of his Levi, not responding to the kiss he gave him. Eren wished that fairy tales were real. Because the true loves kiss in Sleeping Beauty left Eren saddened, over a fictional story. An almost glittery tear rolled down his cheek, and his mom pulled her son closer, as she has before.

But when she hugged him then, it was over the littlest things, Eren recalled. Now? He needed that hug so much right now. The warmth his mother radiated pumped hope and courage through him. He was scared. Given the situation, Levi wasn't anywhere to be seen. There wasn't a single human in the horizon line. He and his mom were the only ones.

"Well, What I DIDN'T see was him come into Heaven. Eren, believe me when I say this, but, Levi isn't an angel."

"He is serving the rest of eternity in Hell"

Eren felt his heart crumble into even tinier pieces. His mother only tore through the newly bandaged scar tissue. He knew she was happy now, but Levi? What torment is he experiencing right now? Hell is bad, right? I want to be the hero. His hero. [America from Hetalia anyone? lol!] He wished for a happily ever after, only to have his sunken eyes absorb even more tears. Tears of such a large amount, it soaked through his bones and drowned his heart.

The two relatives chatted on and on, about how Eren's friends found him dead with blood splattered all over the room. Hoe they are still mourning his death. Eren yawned, as he huffed out a heavy breath of air when he felt his legs numb and buzz to the tiniest movement.

"Time flies up here. What is only a minute here, is actually five down on Earth. And that four minute time difference, adds up." She explained. noticing the implied hint from the boy next to her.

Sure enough, the clouds turned into beautiful pinks, oranges, and reds. As light rays shone through the spaces in between. The air appeared to be like a translucent metallic curtain. Sheer and delicate, when the sun radiated it's veil of light on the shadows. Scarlet and tangerine hues lit up their faces.

A sunset to ensure that the day is over. soon to be leaving you in the dark with little detail and distraction, so you can determine your choices for the next day.

"Eren you are a strong young man. I love you. And we will meet again, as soon as you fulfill your destiny, that will grant you unlimited access to Heaven, which is where you are now."

Eren understood everything now. As his surroundings faded, he wanted to throw himself in his long lost mothers arms, but found that he couldn't. everything was ethereal. He felt like he was sleepwalking, in a confusing lucid stage. It hurt so much to leave his mother, again. The world was huge. Even bigger than he thought. A whole new realm existed, and his own very mother was in it. Not only that, but Levi was somewhere doing whatever. This thought made Eren's mood sink.

How could he possibly find Levi in such a giant world?

He blinked slowly, as he rubbed his temples in frustration. and as soon as he opened his eyes to absorb his surroundings, he noticed he was on...

...Earth?
