Her laugh. It echoed in his head. Even after nine months he still couldn't get that laugh out of his head. "Armin i'm glad I could be a good person to you." her face was flushed as she smiled at the top of the stairs. Then there was darkness. He shot up in a cold sweat panting and nervously looking around. He was in his room. A knock was heard at the door and it was cracked opened. "Hey armin you up?" eren questioned as he poked his head in. "Y-yea, what are you doing up? Its still dark." armin questioned.
"Dude you were screaming and woke nearly everyone, they sent me to come check on you." eren rubbed his eyes tiredly. Armin looked down guilty. "I-i'm sorry i'm just gonna go get some fresh air." armin mumbled and slid on a shirt and pants. He walked past his best friend and into the night air. He walked around listening to the night time sounds. He looked at the ground as he walked. He stopped when he soon ran into a hard object knocking him onto the ground.
He looked up and noticed the wooden door. It led to where SHE was. It had bin nine months since the incident. And her laugh and face haunted him every night. Slowly reaching for the handle he slowly opened the door surprised to find it unlocked. He looked into the room where lanterns were hung over head to light the path to the basement. For some reason he found his body moving and he walked down the narrow staircase. What felt like forever he came face to face with another door.
This door kept them apart. He stared at it for a long period of time. Sighing he turned away from the door but stopped when he heard a sound. Something cracked. He slowly turned his head. It came from behind the door. That couldn't mean. He heard it again and this time there was a loud crash like something hitting the floor. He quickly grabbed the handle and twisted it not surprised to find it locked.
He did the next thing he knew was best and tried to bust the door down. He ran and hit the door over and over again till it finally caved in. He looked up and his eyes widened. It was breaking. The crystal. He watched as the blue glass fell off her and onto the dirty floor. That was when she opened her eyes and locked with his. A small smile crossed her lips as she starred at him. "Its good to see you again...Armin." she whispered with her sweet voice. He chocked on words and only starred back "Annie." was all he manged to say as she stepped out of the broken prison and made her way over to the blonde boy...
