*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
He looked at the loud mechanism awakening him from his sleep , '7:45 December 3rd' it read with (descriptive).
"Ffffuck", he thought, rising from the comfort and warmth of his bed, it was still dark out and a sudden chill wind caused him to shiver violently.
"Dammit" he said as he looked towards the open window on his right. He scrambled out of bed, finding yesterdays shirt and jeans in a crumpled pile on the floor and just like same routine as every morning, he dragged himself to the bathroom and quickly showered, before brushing his teeth in front of the mirror and shaving off the poor excuse for a beard and moustache that had been growing over the week and as usual, he nicked himself with the razor. After he had finished he looked up towards the mirror, staring at himself for a few seconds, his eyes were somewhere between green and grey, he sighed and ran his hand through his mess of wet hair, spiking it. Between his long commute and working overtime, he hadn't had much of a chance to bother with appearance, but today was his day off, and he was going to enjoy it. He made his way downstairs to the kitchen...
"Hey Dan", he heard as he entered the small tile floored kitchen. He turned to the right and saw his housemates, one was Chris, a tall well built bloke, always cheery, another was Oskar, a quiet Swedish guy, who'd moved to Manchester for education and work, and the final was Louis who at this moment was slouched over the table they were sat at, a faint moaning coming from his mouth.
"Hey," responded Dan, "How late was Louis out last night?"
"He got in an hour ago" someone answered,
"Jesus, you'd think he would learn after last time..." said Dan as he browsed through the cupboards looking for something edible. He settled on a boxed sandwich and can of shop-brand coke.
"Really...?" he heard Oskar muse, "...for breakfast?"
Dan paused, "We ain't got anything else edible", just as he said that he felt something rub against his leg, and upon looking down, he saw a black cat staring up at him with huge yellow eyes. Without breaking it's stare Dan asked "How long have we had a cat?",
"Oh we found him outside this morning." responded Chris "he looked cold so we let him in".
"You fed him?"
"No..."
Dan took the ham from his sandwich and gave it to the cat, who looked almost grateful, and walked off towards the living room .
After he had finished his 'Breakfast', he explained to the others that he was going out. He grabbed his MP3 from its dock, and his headphones from the drawer, before slipping on his Hoodie and stepping outside, closing the door behind him. He pulled on his headphones and made his way towards town, losing himself in his thoughts. Then he felt a sudden force hit the right side of his body accompanied with a crushing pain.
...dup-dup...dup-dup...dup-dup...dup-...
Dan opened his eyes, looking down he saw the ground far below him, and on the ground he saw a body contorted and broken. The snow dusted ground around it covered in red, a small van on the right side of the body, bumper dented inwards, driver side door wide open, and a man standing over the body. He saw an ambulance and a police car driving towards the scene, everything was moving faster than normal, like when someone fast-forwards a VHS tape. Now the body was being covered with what looked like tarpaulin and being loaded into the ambulance. Then he saw something else, something staring at him with big yellow eyes... Dan didn't know what was going on, suddenly the floor began to fade into darkness, the red and white turned black. The darkness seemed to be getting closer, then the sky began fade, soon everything was black. Almost everything. Two yellow circles were still staring at him, and they were growing, getting closer, growing, getting closer, and soon they were right in front of him. Then they were around him, he closed his eyes to hide from it, then he felt a chill wind on his face, and cold on his back. He opened his eyes and the sunlight almost blinded him, when he regained his senses, he saw houses, like the ones from history books, made of wood and Germanic in appearance. He stood up, something felt off, he felt small, he looked down and the ground seemed closer. His ears felt hot, he reached up to them and found his hair covering them, his hair hadn't been this long since he was thirteen, snapping out of his thoughts, he looked around amazed at his surroundings, he had never seen anything like this before and it left him scared and confused,he noticed that he was holding his breath, he exhaled loudly and took quick breaths to try to get oxygen into his body. After taking some time to collect his thoughts, sound began to creep into the vacuum of silence he was in, people talking, shouting, laughing. He noticed that he appeared to be in a side alley, and behind him was...was...a huge wall alabaster in colour, it seemed familiar somehow, but he had no idea why. There was no way to continue behind him, so he proceeded to move forward. He began to walk, although he stumbled at first, it felt as though he hadn't moved his legs for a long time. He walked out of the alleyway and something smacked into his side, nowhere near as hard as...as what? He couldn't recall. As Dan fell, he saw a flurry of blonde hair, before landing on his arse. He looked up to see another boy, across from him, who had also fallen. The blonde boy must've been who ran into him, and as he caught his eye to make an apology, he saw two other people leaning down to help the other boy. One was a brown haired male, with green eyes, and one was a girl with long black hair and a red scarf covering most of her face.
"Armin... are you okay?"
Dan heard in a language he both recognised and didn't, the blonde looked towards the speaker, the brunette boy, "Yeah, I'm fine Eren". Armin turned towards Dan,
"Sorry i wasn't looking where i was going, are you alright?"
