My mind was racing. "Freedom, Y/n. Freedom." I was still unsure as to what he meant. I knew it had something to do with whatever was up with him. I waited for him to continue, but he didn't. It was almost as if he deliberately wanted me to ask him more questions about this whole thing.

"I'm lost." I spoke. He let out a soft scoff and started the car's engine. He put his arm behind my seat and turned his head, so that he could pull out. I felt myself wanting to chase for answers, but I knew he wouldn't give anything up all too easily.

"Eren, tell me." I demanded, trying my best to look intimidating and serious. His lips pursed for a second before he opened his mouth.

"You can be like me." He sighed, focusing on the dark road ahead of us. It was nearly impossible to see anything. Even with headlights turned on. If Eren meant what I thought he did, I most definitely didn't want to turn into... that.

"No. Not a chance. No way." I refused. He scoffed yet again, followed by a smug expression smeared across his face.

"I knew you wouldn't understand. You're just like Hange." This guy...

"Look, I knee you were emo... but this?" I scoffed louder than the scoffs he'd made. This caused him to roll his eyes in annoyance. Some time passed as we sat in silence. Neither of us had much to say. Not that we wanted to. Suddenly, Eren tapped my shoulder and pointed to the backseat. Turning around, my eyes caught the sight of a pack of cigarettes. He smokes... your face contorted.

"Can you hand me that pack of cigs?" I glared at him before reaching behind to get them. When I got ahold of them, I turned back forward and opened the window. Eren gave me a confused look at mouthed 'What?' With that, I threw the pack out the window.

"Uncool." He said, surprisingly calm. I didn't expect that.

"Emo." I replied to his comment. He lightly punched my shoulder with one hand, keeping the other on the steering wheel. The two of us laughed a bit until it became totally silent again. Only the sound of the car was evident. I noticed it was way past midnight. My eyes were fighting an uphill battle, to stay open at that point. I eventually lost. I felt my heavy eyelids finally close, as I drifted off into a deep slumber.

Y/n • Dream state

Pieck held my hand. She was scared. I could feel it by the way she almost dug her nails into my skin. I wanted to tell her she would be okay. That she would get better... but that would be a lie. When I let go of her hand, I watched as a tear streamed down her cheek. A certain wave of sorrow washed over me like a hurricane. Hange came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder, comforting me in their own way. I felt them softly push me back, as they neared Pieck. She started screaming my name. Over and over. Hange strapped her in a chair with leather restraints. I covered my mouth with both my hands as I stared in shock. Pieck growled and screamed. She wanted Hange to let her go. I just stood there. Powerless. Not knowing what to do. Hange injected a yellowish substance into Pieck's arm. She slowly calmed down. Until she was in a vegetative state. Pieck...

"Pieck..."

"Y/n."

"Pieck."

"Y/n!"

"Pieck!"

Eren's POV.

Y/n had fallen asleep. Perfect. Just perfect. That meant I had to wake her up, so that I could go get some sleep. I had exams to worry about the morning after. She looked sort of scared. It got weirder when she started mumbling. At first it was incoherent, but as more time passed, I could hear her more clearly.
