I try to make as much noise at possible, to get any attention possible.

I hear footsteps running.

I'm not sure if they're Kenny's or his nephew's, but I just unlock my chains and the door, hoping that his nephew isn't like Kenny.

Even though I'm blindfolded, I still know my way around the house from the last time I snuck out.

I'm crying, but I'm frantically trying to run around, finding an exit, not having time to take off the blindfold.

Kenny's property is really big, and even if I try to run, he'll end up catching me. So if Kenny's nephew hears me, he could call the police, and I would have a better chance at escape.

I've been running around the house, and I hear my footsteps echoing, symbolizing that I'm in the main room, almost to the door, but at this point I can't go on.

I fall to my knees, and I sit there crying with my hands in between my knees, and I hear a familiar voice behind me say, "You're safe."

———

I didn't have time to think who it was, I just turned around and started sobbing in their chest, and they just gently patted my head, and at this, I truly knew I was safe.

———

I wake up to a white ceiling.

I suddenly get up, clutching my head, it was aching.

I probably ended up passing out from running around and crying. There are curtains on both sides of me, and I guess they thought it was best if I didn't suddenly get exposed to sunlight after I've been in the dark for so long.

I did see sunlight though while I was there, for a little bit, when I snuck out and found a key, but I agree with them, I'd probably pass out again.

I see shadows on the other side of the curtain, and I see two nurses talking.

"What a poor child, I can't believe he was kidnapped and tortured."

"But did you hear about his dad?"

"What about him? I only hear bad about him since the kid was kidnapped."

"Well, I overheard the police, and they were saying that his dad never tried looking for him, and he actually ran away after police tried to question him. He pretended to be innocent, but it was probably his doing that he was kidnapped."

"Oh that poor child, he's been through a lot."

I hear the door open and the new figures start talking to the two nurses, but I start to zone out.

Who saved me anyways?

The two new figures come from behind the curtain, one holding a face I'm too familiar with.

"Hello Eren. I know you've been through a lot, but Kenny here insisted that he must talk with you, and if you're comfortable..."

I nod my head yes, and he leaves Kenny sitting down on a stool handcuffed, while they stand behind the curtain.

Kenny leans in, and he whispers into my ear, "You tell anyone about anything that happened, and I'll make sure your life is a nightmare."

My eyes widen, and I clutch my head in pain, memories flashing through my head, and I start screaming.

The police run back, and they quickly take Kenny away, telling the nurses something, and leaving with Kenny and his grin.

"You have a lot of scars and bruises, but they should be able to heal. We can't keep you here for long because there are many other patients waiting. Also, it seems like you might get migraines and mental pain when you think about what happened in your past. Though I don't know anything about your past, you've had it rough. You can be excused from school for the rest of the year, but you'll then have to repeat the year. If you do choose to go school, unfortunately, you'll have to attend right away, meaning tomorrow."

I nod my head, and they get me ready to leave the hospital, and I take off my shirt, about to change out of the hospital clothes.

"And one last thing, you have one last and first visitor that's from your school."

In walks Levi Ackerman.
