What's left of me

Summary:

All Eren has ever known is the four walls of his empty cage. He can’t remember how he got there and who brought him, but he only remembers his mother’s plea to run and hide. He’s been haunted by her words for years and constantly reminded of his failure with every passing day. With the only break from experimentations and torment is a friendly nurse, who can see past his monstrous abilities and promises to help him escape, he can only hold onto a slither of hope that his pain will end soon. When his nurse finds a way out, Eren finds himself wondering what his life could be and if he could ever experience anything but pain again.

Notes:

I'm soooo late hopping on this train, but this is my first work and I'm a little nervous to post it but I've had these ideas running through my head for more than two years and finally have the confidence to write everything down and post them. I mostly am going to only upload once on the weekends but depending on how much time I can put into writing, I may upload twice a week! Hope you enjoy!

Comments are always welcomed!

Chapter 1: Mother's Words

Chapter Text

Eren... Eren! Shh, I need you to- please listen to me, baby! You’re going to hide and be quiet, understand me? Don’t come out. No matter what you hear or see, we’re playing hide and seek, remember, don’t move. If they find you, run… Baby, we’re playing tag too, you can’t be tagged… Sweetie, please don’t cry, I know you’re scared but we need to play our game, understand me?... You need to promise me something, can you do that for me? Keep running, even if you don’t see me, run to grampa’s house and nowhere else. He’ll take care of you until-... until I can come get you… What are you talking about silly goose? I’m not crying... Before the game begins, tell me what I told you...Yes, that’s good, baby, remember that exactly. My special, brave boy. Now hide! I’ll see you when the game ends, remember that. Eren, I love you...I love you so much.
