I look around the room with a furious glare and spoke quietly. “You people are the worst sort…” I pointed at the man with narrow eyes. “Ohh… I recognise you… you were one of those men who were taunting the Survey Corps once they arrived back inside the walls, claiming ‘OH, they’re wasting our tax money on something completely pointless! Look at how they’re throwing their lives away, becoming titan chow and wasting our money!’ These people are trying to help you selfish bastards! They don’t want to live in fear of the titans! They want to be free from these fucking walls!”

I kicked the pole that they used to restrain me; effectively knocking it over and creating a loud clanging noise once the metal hit the stone floors. I ran a frustrated hand through my hair, taking a deep breath. “Unfortunately, there will always be people like you… people too cowardly to do what’s right and discriminate those who do! You hide, you yell… but what good is any of it? And who cares if they’re using your money? Without them fighting those bastards, it’s likely you’ll be overrun by the titans and then what good is money?”

I looked up at Zackly angrily. “You will let me go. And you will let me finish my duties.”

Silence…

And then…

“Fine.”

Zackly’s agreement led to a massive uproar from the people of the Military Police to the random civilians. I glanced up to Levi and I could see a glimmer of pride in his eyes and I smiled. My gaze then  landed on Eren and the rest of my friends from the 104th Trainees Squad and they were all beaming down at me and I felt a warmth in my chest that I hadn’t felt in so long.

“—However,” Zackly interjected, effectively silencing the crowd, “I would still like to know how you plan on aiding the human race in our plight.”

“Well, I suppose, until we find out more about the titans, I am still unsure, myself.” I responded calmly,

“Then how do we trust you?” a merchant yelled out and I rolled my eyes.

“Oh for fuck’s sake…” I muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose in irritation. “For now, you don’t. So I guess you’ll just have to shut up, because the situation is not changing.”

After that, Zackly had decreed that I was free to go and the entire crowd dispersed. As soon as I left the courtroom, I was tackled into a hug by a certain insane scientist.

“(name), that was brilliant!” Hanji exclaimed as her grip on me tightened, practically cutting off my circulation.

“Hanji, please… you’re crushing me…” I gasped out until she released me. She grinned at me sheepishly, muttering an awkward ‘sorry’. My lips twitched up slightly and I let out a low chuckle, shaking my head in amusement. “It’s okay. Hey, do you know where Levi or Eren is?”

She put a hand to her chin in thought. “Uh… I think I saw Levi talking to Commander Erwin and Eren is with some of his friends. Why do you ask?”

“No reason, really. Anyway, when are we going back to HQ? I’m getting sick of being around these rich snobs.”

“Shortly, Erwin just needs to finish up some things, and then we’ll head back.”

“Great. I’m exhausted.” I said and stretched out my aching muscles.

It took quite a while for us to get back to the Survey Corps HQ, but when we did, I let out a long sigh of relief, releasing all the pent up tension that I was holding onto whilst in Wall Sina. Ignoring everyone around me, I swiftly pushed through the crowd of soldiers and made my way to my room. Kicking off my boots, I grabbed my communication device and sat down on my bed. I activated it and a projected image of a male figure wearing a cloak appeared.

“Ah, (name), time for another progress report?” he asked,

I sighed, running a hand through my (h/c) hair, “You’re not going to be pleased with this, but my cover has been blown.” I stated guiltily, “The situation is much worse than we thought and I get the feeling that titans aren’t going to be the only problem.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well… I’ve been hearing things… this voice keeps talking to me when I’m alone. The most recent thing it said was that I’m going to encounter some old enemies.”

“Hmm… that’s not good.” He muttered, stroking his chin. “Actually, we’ve been meaning to tell you that recently we received word that some Hellbeasts have escaped.”

“WHAT?”

“Perhaps that is what this voice is warning you about…”

“If that’s the case, and they’re heading here… well, I suppose it’s safe to say we’re fucked.” I grumbled agitatedly, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.

“Well, we’re not sure whether they’re actually coming for you, but it would be safe to keep an eye out.”

“No kidding, those things almost killed me last time…”

“If things turn for the worst, I’ll send your division over there to assist you.”

“That at least gives me some security. Thank you sir.” And with that, I ended to connection. There was a knock at my door and I hummed in response. The door creaked open slowly and I glanced up to see Eren poke his head through the gap. “Is there something you needed, Eren?”

“I guess I just wanted to see you. Talk to you one-on-one, you know?” he sat down next to me on my bed. He breathed out a long deep sigh, running a hand through his messy brown hair.

I placed my hand on his knee, squeezing it gently. “…Eren…”

“(name)… what’s going to happen now?”

“I don’t know, Eren. I’m sorry, but I really don’t.”

“I’m scared of losing you…” he admitted quietly, his cheeks turned pink.

“Eren, I–”

“I know that you’re going through a lot… I just don’t want you to leave me.”

“You’ll still have Armin and Mikasa.” I tried to reason, but he only shook his head.

“Yeah, but it’s just not the same…”

“Can I tell you something, Eren?” I asked quietly, his turquoise eyes stared at me as he nodded. “I’m scared, too.” I admit, “I don’t want to go… and I don’t want to pick between you and Levi because it hurts too much.” I clenched my fist on my knee, gripping the black fabric of the trousers I was provided with earlier. “But I know… either way… in the end, someone’s going to end up getting hurt.”

It was silent between us for a while, before Eren spoke up.

“Then let’s just make the most of what time we have left.”
Sorry for the delay. Long story short - school, therapy, and antidepressants can suck it.
