Forty-One
[Eren Jaeger's PoV]
"She looks so peaceful," I mumble. "Even with the bruises, she looks calm..."
And it's true. She looks completely calm and collected, a small smile on her face. I'm glad she isn't having a nightmare anymore.
Levi suddenly stands up, rushing out.
"L-Levi?" I say, confused. "What is it?"
He turns around for a split second, and I see tears in his eyes. He turns around again, practically running out.
"So he does have human emotions..." I mutter, turning back to Sara.
She moves a little and mumbles something. It almost sounded like she said, "Eren..."

[Sara's PoV]
Mikasa runs to me. "Sara, come here!" she says urgently.
"What is it?" I say, panic growing inside me. She grabs my wrist and starts running. I don't know where we're going, but she's dragging me along fast.
After a few seconds, we're there. A closed door. She slams it open, yelling, "Eren!"
"I'm not going to lose control again," he growls. "I almost killed everyone. The death of one person will help all of this world."
"Eren..." I mumble. He has a knife in his hands, which are shaking. He has it pointed at his own chest.
"I almost killed you, Sara. I almost killed you, Mikasa. I almost killed everyone."
"You can learn to control it!" Mikasa protests. "Sara, he won't listen to me, please talk to him!"
I take a step towards Eren, but he puts the point of the dagger on his chest. "Not one more step," he says, tears rushing down his face.
"Eren, you can control it. I know you can. Don't do this because of one accident."
"I almost killed all of you! I don't want it to happen again! I don't want to hurt any of you anymore."
"This won't help," I say, hoping to somehow convince him to stop.
"Yes, it will."
"Eren! Don't do it!" I yell, and I feel tears streaming down my face. "You can't! You can't end it here! Don't you remember? You were going to wipe out all of the Titans!"
His grip on the handle of the knife loosens, and his hands drop to his sides. The blade falls to the floor. A small speck of blood is on the spot where he touched the knife to himself.
I walk to him, wrapping my arms around the boy. His tears turn to sobs that shake his body. He wraps his arms around me, burying his face in my hair.
I smile slightly, glad I could comfort him. His cries wrack his body, making his shoulders shake uncontrollably.
"Don't ever do that again, Eren," I say, feeling my own tears run down my face.
"I-I won't..." he says, sniffing a little.
