《Cut Deep (Eren x Reader ft. Titan Eren)》~ Chapter 23 ~
Advertisement
As I reach the outside stairs of the ballroom, I see a few groups of Scouts wandering around to get some air. There are couples kissing, some people drunk and then me, a loner on my way to the pond. I take my hair out of the bun, letting it fall down my sticky face. I take off my heels that ache my feet and throw them in the dirt and inside place my necklace and earrings. I begin to waddle to the pond, my dress being so restricted to run, when my foot steps on something sharp.
"Agh!" I spit, tears running down my face. I get up from the fall to see my foot, bleeding, probably from glass I stepped on. Blood oozes on my fingers and sticks to my white dress as I try to wipe it off.
"Shit," I shake as I ruin my dress with my bloody fingers. I wipe my face of the tears that blur my vision, and see black ink on my hands from my mascara. I rub that along with the blood on my white dress and begin to cry at the sight. My mom spent so long on this dress, and now it's ruined. I notice a loose thread at the side, and tug it, unthreading the whole seam at the right side of my dress up to my hips.
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Where are you?" I hear a frightened Bertholdt call my name. I get up, still aching and now run, my dress allowing me to. Once I reach the pond, I slump down, fat, juicy tears pouring from my eyes and into my hands. I dip my palm into the water, the ice cold chilling my body over.
I cup some and splash it on my face, all the makeup leaking off. If Eren didn't think I was beautiful before, he defiantly won't now. I look a wreck. I look into my reflection...most my makeup is off but you can still see marks of it underneath. My dress is another whole story-what used to be snow white is now covered in mascara, blood and mud. If my shoes and necklace get stolen from the stairs where I left them, there is nothing I can really do. Eren's right, I don't know if I care anymore.

I remember his hug today, the hug I thought I would be getting tonight. But no, Mikasa gets that privilege. I don't want anyone to find me here, I don't deserve support off people that aren't as lucky as myself. I then hear crunching leaves, and look up to my side...
"Marco?" I whisper, tears staining my face. He looks at me with a glowing light around him, a holy light, it is him.
"Promise me, whatever happens today...we'll stay best friends," He says in monotone.
I crumble my face into my hands and begin to cry loud, Marco, he would've danced with me. Even Jean told me earlier today...
"Why would Eren look at me?" I muttered as we were in the bathroom.
"Because you're beautiful. Marco thought so," Jean replied.
"What?" I said, shocked.
"He had a crush on you, (Y/N). I wasn't supposed to tell you...but he's gone now. He'll forgive me,"
I cry wet, salty tears and wonder how many I've got left, when I hear an abnormal crack of lightning strike the woods. I know it's not a storm, as the sky is empty, and only filled with twinkling stars.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
