The desperation .. Mikasa drew her blades and charged towards an abandoned building, slicing deep into the thick nape of a 6 meter class titan as she landed roughly on the roof of the building.

"Eren! Eren! Answer me!"

She ungraciously picked herself up, covering a deep gash on her arm with a hand, the tears that were welling up in her eyes gradually slithered down the sides of her delicately formed cheekbones, and etched themselves in the folds of her red scarf; the precious gift that Eren had given to her when they were younger.

"Oi! Mikasa!"

"Armin?"

Armin's blonde hair could be seen from a mile away as he carried himself swiftly away from the hungry jaws of a 8 meter class titan and tumbled down beside Mikasa, nearly hitting her with his gear. She glanced at Armin with a pleading look in her eyes as she took hold of him by his collar.

"Tell me, where have they taken Eren? I have to save him. I will kill those damned traitors! " She snarled, holding back her tears. Now wasn't the time to be emotional. For all she knew, Eren had been forcefully taken away from her very sight, and the last image that had resided in Mikasa's memory was the look of pure horror crawling across his face as he was dragged away by the collar.

Armin wasn't really helping, was he?

"Mikas—" Armin gritted his teeth as Mikasa ignored him, launching herself back into the air.

Eren struggled and attempted to escape, but to no avail. The metal bars clanked shut , leaving him alone to fend for himself in the darkness. He could barely make out a board-like figure well-tucked in at the corner of his cell, in which he assumed was a bed. "What the hell.." He frowned and shook the metal bars furiously, a wild look creeping into his eyes. Where the hell was Mikasa when he told her to follow behind him? If only she had listened, if only she had been there, this wouldn't have happened to him! Should he turn into a titan and break free? No, that would probably be risky.

A glimmer of soft, yellow light penetrated through the darkness as Eren lifted his head up to meet the sharp, unforgiving glance of a man he didn't know.

"Who the heck are you? Why did you lock me up he—"

At that instant, the man shoved his boot directly into Eren's face and the impact sent Eren flying backwards against the wall.

"I believe my name is Lance Corporal Levi, Brat."

Eren clenched his fists, as the anger in his eyes grew rapidly.

This man .. He's a beast. A fucking monster..
