Eremika Fanfic : Remember Me!?
Previous Chapter link- Chapter 3
Stirring a spoon in the bowl of stew....Mikasa glances at Eli from the corner of her eyes....from the kitchen.
Eli was being quite than his usual self....like he has that sadness and guilty expression on his face since he woke up from that bad dream of his...
It was night by now....Mikasa is making their dinner while Eli was just sitting in the dining space....staring at the book infront of him...
But Mikasa could clearly see through him....Eli was just lost in somewhere else but had no concentration in the book...
He was just 5 but he was a school going boy too....though he was in nurseries they did have some sort of studies and exams! Eli had a brilliant mind most probably it was because he was half Ackraman too....he is sharp and intelligent even the school authorities knew that....but due to the rumours of him being the child of the last holder of founding titan who almost crushed the whole world ....Eli is treated very differently! Mikasa knew that well but she doesnt care about the people around her....for her , Eli getting adequate knowledge from school matters the most.
Eli came out of his trance as soon as he heard Mikasa calling out his name....
Mikasa placing a bowl of soup infront him- Eli....You seem lost!
Eli stares at his mother shocked but then composes himself- Huh...What?
Mikasa raises her eye brows as she sat opposite him – Hmmm....you seem to be thinking about something else! Cause I dont see you studying for real!
Eli was confused about what to answer....it was true he wasnt actually studying....he was thinking about his dream and that stranger....but he cant let his mom know that!
Eli confidently as he argues back – Mommm....Can you stop overthinking ? Alright? I was....just feeling sleepy okay!
Eli tries to give a fake yawn and acts sleepy in his childish voice - aahhh....I am hungry! M..moomm...Lets get...done with the dinner!
Eli was about to take the empty small bowl and pour the soup into it when Mikasa holds his hand stopping him and says “ You....are Red! It means you are hiding something form me! What is it?”
Eli feels heat travelling through his round cheeks....he started to feel nervous & embarrass at same time.
He shrugs off her hand as he angrily says- Heyyyy Whats The Problem! Seriously? Why do you always suspect me of hiding something!
Mikasa rolls her eyes as she takes her seat- Always? Nope....you rarely hide something from me! Isnt it? Cause you are really bad at hiding anyways...so whatever it is you can tell me...I am your Mom after all!
Eli frowns at Mikasa and was just about to say something but she interrupts “ You can take your time....I am not forcing you Okay! “
Eli stares at his mom a bit stunned while Mikasa continues softly- You think I am just an annoying over protective stupid mother right? I am sorry about that....I just cant stop caring about you (pauses a bit as she stares directly into those green eyes) You are the only one I have now!
Eli could feel the sadness in his mother voice....he feels bad....as he realises he has somewhat made his mom upset! And he feels bad about it now...his mom is not annoying...yeah she kinda gets into his head at times but he loves her!
Eli with guilt ridden eyes and broken voice- Mom I didnt mean to hurt you by any way...
Mikasa looks at Eli a bit stunned as Eli says “ You know I Love You! Please dont say that you are annoying....”
Mikasa sighs seeing those eyes & the puppy face...
He resembles him so much....thinks Mikasa!
Mikasa smiles lightly- So you want to say something?
Eli lowers his eyes....he wasnt really sure about how his mother will react knowing he didnt go to school today rather ran off a bit far away without her ...he never really get the chance to roam around the city like other kids do. He is always stuck in his home, occasionally Mikasa just take him with her to market place...
Fearing his mother's reaction....Eli thinks maybe this isnt the right time....moreover if he actually tells about meeting with a stranger who kind of matches with the person he sees in his dream....his Mom gonna freak out a big time.
Seeing Eli being silent, Mikasa realised he was hesitating....but rather asking him again Mikasa calmly says “ Its Okay...You can tell me some other time! Let's have our dinner!”
Back of the mind, Mikasa was pretty much sure something was wrong....and she needs to find it out! If Eli doesnt tell her, she will find it out by herself!
Walking across the corridor of school, Eli heads for his class...his head was lowered as his gaze was fixed to the ground.
He was completely in guilt mood for still hiding about bunking the school day before.
So today he swore to himself....he will never do that again...
Today he will concentrate only at his studies and wont care about what people tell him...or joke about him...
Eli enters the classroom as he gazes upwards and finds other kids staring at him awkwardly .... same weird looks at him....
His green eyes rolled in a dull way as he heads towards a seat...
He could hear whispers around but this time Eli decided to be unaffected!
Eli was about to take a seat in the 3rd bench when a boy ran to him and pushed him aside while occupying the seat at the same time...
Eli looked at him with a scowling face while that kid simply showed him tounge sticking out...
Eli decided to ignore him as he walked to the last bench and sat there alone with annoyance on his face....while that boy just smirked at him evilly...
Eli sighed, he just doesn't understand why these people are so problematic towards him...
He just shoves off the whole feeling of being hated at that moment before it could take over his mind....just when the teacher entered the class and everyone stood up to show respect including Eli....
The Class got over as the bell rang...it was break time now...
Eli takes his back pack on his back as he starts walking out silently with a tiffin box in his hand. Just when he suddenly tripped off at door making him fall on the ground with thud as the tiffin box slipped of his hand and fell a bit far as it got opened with the sandwich falling out of it...
Eli was completely shocked by the incident as he just kept on laying flat on his chest staring at the falling sandwich on ground which his mother made for him....while the corridor echoed with laughter all around him...
Eli found someone with huge chubby legs standing infront of him as his green eyes travelled upwards to check who it was....
As soon as his eyes met with the huge chubby faced kid , Eli narrowed his eyes at him as the kid opened its big mouth “ Hellooooo....Titan Baby! Whats up ha? Didnt say Hi yet to me??”
Eli sighed heavily as he finally got off from the ground and stood on his feet....ignoring the huge kid infront of him Eli dusts of the dirt from his shirt as he passes by him with his head high....moves ahead to pick up the sandwich and tiffin box.
Watching Eli ignoring him like this surprises the kid, as he immediately kicks away the tiffin box bit far while picking up the sandwich himself.
Eli stares at him shocked as annoyance took over him immediately.
As he turns his hands into fists, Eli hears the kid telling him- Oi, What so hurry? We need to talk....
The huge kid shows the sandwich infront of Eli's face as he speaks sarcastically- Ooowwo Titan Baaby....Are You Hungry ? Want Some?
Eli glares at the kid furiously as he looks upwards at him, while his hands rolled into fists “ Put that sandwich back into my lunch box! “
The kid smirks evilly as he says “ Ah....Ordering me? You stupid little brat! You know what...this sandwich looks yummy and guess what! I want it for myself, you have any problem?”
Eli was completely fuming within himself as he tightens his fists trying to control his rage...while he says in his mind “ Calm down! I should just ignore him....and not react at all! Mom told me these jokers are not worth at all of any kind of reaction! Just calm down”
Eli softens his expression as he says with low but prominent voice “ Listen....kid! Stop these nonsense of yours....it only makes you look like a looser! Give my lunch box with that sandwich into it....I need to hurry okay! I dont have any free time to waste on you “
The kid evilly smiles as he immediately takes bite from sandwich and says while munching “ Yummm....This tastes good! So Titan Boy Your Mom Makes Really Good Stuffs...Ask Her To Make Some More For Me”
Eli was angry now but he needs to control it , without saying a word Eli walks toward his tiffin box and was about to pick it up when that kid stomped his foot over it leading a crack on the box....while Eli gasps in shock hearing the sound of crack...as he glared furiously at that huge kid.
The Kid in disgust “ You....Son Of Monster! ( eating rest of the sandwich) I dont think you need this box anymore as your food is finished and is in my stomach...all you need right now is run off your ass”
Eli green eyes shone brightly as he glared at the kid with rage....Eli's small hands were back to fist but he was trying hard to control his anger...
As the kid went on “ Honestly Why do you even come here? What fun do you get by being insulted everyday ha? Oh wait you actually deserve to get insulted! Thats your birth right “
Hearing this the other kids who were watching this drama for quite some time bursts out laughing....
Eli was damn done with this kid as he clenched his teeth and spoke with sharp dangerous voice “ Shut The Filthy Mouth Of Yours “
The huge kid stopped laughing as he stared at Eli shocked “ O wow! You have guts to talk too...do you even know....”
Eli screams loudly as he interrupts the boy “ SHUT UP DAMN IT “
The kid was shocked now to hear the intensity of Eli's voice....he kept on staring at Eli's rage filled eyes while rest looked at them completely horrified.
Eli while gritting his teeth “ Move your foot away from the box and hand over it to me.... & get lost from my sight! “
The kid was shocked for few moments and then suddenly he started laughing as he says “ Hahaha...What a fire! I mean seriously....no wonder my mom and dad keep on saying that you will be same just like your father when you grow up! A Titan....! “
Before the kid could say anything further....he felt a crushing punch on his chin which felt so hard on him that just made him fall on the ground.
Everyone around them was terrified as they watched Eli swiftly giving a punch on the chin of that chubby kid....
Eli couldn't hold himself back as he barked on the kid who was laying flat on the ground looked at him in shock as blood came out from his teeth “ KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! DONT WANNA HEAR ANOTHER WORD FROM YOU! AND DONT YOU DARE CALL ME A TITAN...I DONT KNOW WHAT IS IT! BUT ALL I KNOW I DONT LIKE THIS WORD AT ALL....UNDERSTOOD”
Saying this Eli kicked hard at one leg of the kid who winced in pain immediately!
Eli picked up his broken Tiffin box and put it in his bag while he could feel all the kids eyes on him in fear....he could simply care less about it...he was about to leave when he felt a punch on his face which made him fall the ground....in return everyone hooted all around in excitement.
Eli looked upward in anger as he found the chubby kid with blood in his mouth staring at him angrily “ Son of a bitch! Dont you have manners while talking to your seniors! How dare you raise your hand on me....I am gonna make you suspend from this school and throw you and your mom out of this town “
Before he could do anything....Eli all of sudden made a move and punched hard straight on the face of the kid....who immediately pushed with such a force and fell hard against a pillar leading him to immediate unconsciousness!
Everyone gasped in horror at the sight....while Eli who still didn't realise the consequences of his act until someone freaked out frighten “ Guys....Why! Why is he not getting up?”
Eli gasped in shock as he came out of his anger and stared at the fallen chubby cheek at far....who was completely motionless at the moment....
Eli was terrified suddenly....while everyone started gawking at him as few kids ran to call the teacher..
Eli walked towards the kid as he said nervously to the people “ He just got hurt badly I guess...nothing much “
He wasnt having any good vibes from this environment around as he spoke infront of the chubby kid who was still not in his senses “ Hey...Wa...Wake Up! Look...this...isnt time to joke! Get....up dude! Others are misunderstanding me! Hey...”
Suddenly Eli heard a kid coming back with someone while saying “ I dont know Sir....I think he is just unconscious or maybe....the way that titan boy punched him....I dont know maybe....he is in more serious condition “
Eli looked around in horror as he heard some saying what if he is dead....
Eli was completely terrified! He needs to go to his mother. As everyone got indulged in whispering Eli took the chance and immediately ran away from that place in opposite direction through the corridor...
It was raining heavily all around....thunders strike in the sky....
A boy with a back pack over his head sitting on the ground behind a huge garbage bin while trying to hide as much as possible from the people around....
A huge thunder strikes as flash of light fell on his face while making him shiver in fear....his green eyes shone in the light of thunder....
Eli was shivering due to cold as well as fear of darkness & people finding him...
Eli in his broken voice “ Mom Save Me”
Suddenly he felt nervous and guilty as he remembered what just happened back in the school....
He didnt intend to hurt anyone so much that will lead to death....period he didnt even want to kill him or something! Was it his fault completely? Did he do wrong by loosing his self control again!
Infact he was pretty sure that bully boy wasnt dead but unconscious but then why wasnt he moving?
Eli started to weep now as he trembled while it started to rain more....
Suddenly Eli found a huge amount of people with torchlight coming in this way....
He gasped loudly and got up from there...
He could hear the voices more close now “ That BASTARD Child! He must be hiding here somewhere! This time we are gonna kill him , cut into pieces and throw him in fire! He is nothing but just like his father....A Murderer! Who knows...what if he also posses titan power!? And then we will kill his mother that bloody Ackraman!"
Eli blinked his eyes in horror “ Mom? No....I wont let them do anything to my mom...I need to get out from here before they catch me”
Eli quickly got up and started to move upwards slowly as the place where he was hiding was bit sloppy....the place was pretty old and much far from his house....most probably no one really lives in this place...Now...
He was hurriedly walking upwards while glancing backwards time to time wondering if they already spot him or not, suddenly he tripped over a pebble and slipped as he winced in pain while falling...
Eli was terrified as he puts hand on his mouth so that no sound comes out...
But he was already late....as he turns around and find those gang of people were now speeding up their pace towards him as one of them falls the light on his face & shouted “ HEY....THATS HIM....”
Eli was scared as he began to shake again in fear, he quickly got up and started running upwards but he couldn't increase his pace as he was slipping up now and then due to heavy raining and his feet fingers were kind of hurting now....
They were quite close to him...Eli was in panic as he was gasping trying to catch breath while running...
Suddenly he got a pull on his arm....before he could react someone pulled him aside swiftly behind the wall of a house...
Eli was highly shocked at the sudden action as he couldnt understand what just happened...those people were close, he could hear them...
But he was still in shock that who just pulled him in...he turned his head around and just when the lightening stroke again revealing the face infront of him....
Eli eyes widen as he was about to say something but before that his mouth was forced to shut by a strong hand as Eli started to fidget under the hold in fear while the graspy deep voice wishpers ”SSSSH....CALM DOWN”
Just then both of them could see bunch of silhouettes near by....as the voice says “ Dont say a word....they are hear...”
Eli was completely in shock stage at the moment and was frozen at the spot while his wide green eyes were on the man infront of him...
They could hear those men saying “ Where did he go? “ “ I Saw him I swear...I guess he escaped from here” “ Lets hurry”
They were there for few more minutes...and then left from there hurriedly....
As both of them could hear their foot steps and voice fading away....Eli finally finds the hand away from his mouth as he says in deep manly voice “ Gone! You can breath now....”
Realising he was actually holding his breath for a while now, Eli finally breaths as he starts coughing slightly to get air...
Just then as the reality strikes....Eli widens his eyes and stares at the person infront of him, while he says “ Ah....So We met again? What a coincidence!”
Just then the thunder strikes again and lightening falls on that long hair person....Eli could see the face more clearly....he was none other than that stranger and the person possibly who was in his dreams...
The difference was there were no bandage on his head nor even that cane in his hand like the last time, though his half of the hair was falling on one of his eyes completely...
Eli finally finds his voice as he says in child like voice while trembling a bit “ You....Again?”
Just then the reply comes “ Oh...You can speak....back then I thought you were mute or something “
