Slight description of violence. Eren practically slipping of the rails for like the 100th time in this book.
Friendly reminder I'm too lazy to proof read xox

Eren

"I don't care about him."

The words played in my mind like a broken record. Over and over and over and over again.

I ran. I ran far away from the place I called home. The place that was home because he's there. The place that was home because I was happy there.

I took note of the sharp pain in my chest. As soon as I thought of Levi the pain in my chest ramped up, all the way to searing, blinding agony faster than I could blink.

Rejection.

I'd heard the stories of rejection. How it feels like you've lost a part of yourself. That you'll feel the physical pain your heart, as you've lost a part of it. Levi hasn't directly rejected me...but saying he doesn't care about me was enough to begin the process of rejection.

This whole situation set off something within me that I'd felt before.

"Y-You're a true blood, Eren."

The night I first fed. Killed.

A low growl escaped my throat as I thought back to that night I lost my humanity.

"Blood."

I stopped running. I analysed the area around me. For some reason I'd subconsciously returned to the place I fed before. Maybe some part of me believes that feeding on bad people, makes feeding a little more bearable.

Bad people do bad things. What's the harm in eliminating the bad people?

But I knew it was still wrong. I feel guilty. Not a day goes by where that scene doesn't replay in my head. The moment I killed those men. The moment I let go of my humanity. The moment that made me scared to protect Levi. In case I hurt him.

"Excuse me sir, are you okay? You seem upset."

Blood.

Before the man could even wait for a reply from me, my eyes shifted bright red and my fangs emerged. I rushed over to him, using one hand to expose his neck. I pierced my fangs into his neck, the feeling of euphoria overwhelming me.

I drank and I drank, draining every ounce of blood in the mans body. As I finished and ripped my teeth away from his neck, his body fell to the floor.

The sudden guilt hit.

I dropped to my knees, my vision blurred from the tears that fell from my eyes. I muttered to myself tearfully. I did it again. I'm a monster. I'm a killer. A murderer.

Levi;
Something isn't right. I have this feeling the cant exactly be explained. Like some sort of connection to something- or someone- that leads to believe something terrible is going to happen...or has happened.

It had been lingering for around an hour or so, after my talk with Erwin. I heard Eren sob, and I saw him run off before I could ask him what was wrong. Had I said something to upset him?
