Running. That's all the Eren was doing. Running for his life. He looks over his shoulder, eyes going wide in fear. He looks forward, urging his legs to move faster. Something was chasing him. Eren believed this was no human but a monster in disguise, no one could be that short and fast and have a thrust for his blood. Panting, Eren skids round a corner seeing his ray of hope bloom in front of him. He crashes through the doors and takes a deep breath, his lungs starved of oxygen feeling like they are on fire. Armin whips his head up from his lunch and gasps.

'Eren are you ok?' Armin asks, making his way towards his best friend.

Eren takes a deep shaky breath and replies in a whisper: 'I may have committed a sin and now death himself is out for my blood.'

Armin smiles and pats Erens' shoulder: 'Eren I'm sure what you did wasn't that bad.'

Eren whips his head back and tries not to laugh, not because what Armin said was funny, but due to the truth of what Eren knew his actions would cost. Mikasa who has been watching the events unfold approaches Eren and looks Eren in the eyes. Eren gulps knowing his time is running short, he needs to hide or heaven itself will have no mercy on his poor soul.

Mikasa nods and ushers Eren under a table next to a wall. Eren blinks in surprise, it's amazing at how she can tell what I need ...no, wait it's a bit creepy... Eren snaps out of his thoughts and crawls under the table. Mikasa tells Armin to sit down so he is in front of Eren. Armin nodes and sits back down. Mikasa takes her seat next to him and whispers,

'Act like nothing has happened, we have not seen Eren.'

Armin nods returning back to his food, however losing his appetite due to the commotion. Mikasa turns her attention to the door, knowing who it is that Eren is running away from. She sighs and turns her attention to the rest of the room. The rest of the Survey Corps continue on like nothing has happened but she knew better than to simply let her guard down.

She knew how loyal they were to their little demon and had to make sure she was on high alert in case they tried to rat out Eren. Eren shifts uncomfortable under the table, Mikasa tuts and Armin whispers:

'Eren stop moving or you'll give yourself away'

Eren stills at this and holds his breath, the doors swing open and Jean, Connie, Sasha, Ymir, Reiner, Bertolt and Krista walk in. Jean spots Mikasa and Armin and waves. Armin waves back and whispers to Mikasa:

'The more people around the table the less likely to spot Eren.' Mikasa looks at Armin considering his view and sighs:

'Ok but it they attract too much attention then I will beat them and...'

'Mikasa calm down' Armin holding up his hands, sweat dropping at Mikasas' death threats. 'We need them to help hide him and if they make too much noise then we have to bear with it. As long as they don't know Eren is here then it won't look too suspicious.'

Mikasa nodes and Armin turns his attention to the rest of the 104th Corps Graduates, 'Hey guys just getting a bit to eat or coming in for a break?'

Sasha bounds over, drooling slightly:'Hey Armin are you gonna finish that bread?' Armin blinks then looks down at his plate and smiles.

'Erm no, you can have it if you want Sasha.'

Sasha snatches the bread and plops herself down on the other side of Armin. The rest of the 104th Corps Graduates begin to also make their way around the table, dragging chairs over. They begin to chat and Armin begins to think of a plan on how to get Eren out of the dinner hall unseen. Eren shifts as he sees more legs and feet surround the table and smiles. Good idea Armin now he will defiantly not see me, maybe... Eren gulps nervously and leans against the wall and closes his eyes and begins to relax some what.

The doors swing open again and everyone turns silent. The happy atmosphere disappears and Eren snaps his eyes open and freezes. Mikasa turns her attention towards the door and raises her eyebrow. Armin gasps and the rest submerge snickers. Humanity's strongest soldier walks through the door, with a dark aura surrounding him. His pristine white shirt was now covered in pink streaky patches. He walks slowly over to the table holding the 104th Corps Graduates. Armin begins to panic and Mikasa keeps her face neutral. The rest begin to sweat and wonder what Corporal Levi wants.

Levi stops in front of Mikasa and stares down at her with no emotion showing on his face.

'Where is Eren.'

Upon hearing the Corporal speak Eren begins to sweat in fear and prays that he will fall for it and leave. Mikasa looks Levi in the eye and replies:

'He is not here sir, we haven't seen him.'

'Ho is that so Ackerman.'

Mikasa glares and Levi turns his attention to Armin. He raises a brow seeing the state Armin is in. They've hidden him somewhere, probably under the table, teh brats, I'll play there little game.

Levi turns on his heal and marches away. Armin sighs in relief and Mikasa even though showing no emotion physical relaxes.

'What was that all about?' Jean asks scratching his head.

Connie shakes his head smiling, 'Knowing Eren he has probably done something stupid to piss him off and by the state of his shirt...'

'Well it looks like he's not gonna bother looking for him any more' Krista says while slicing her bread and handing half to Ymir.

'Yeah maybe' Armin says while turning his attention back to the group.

They begin to chatter again, all the while Eren was trying not to fall into a wallow of self pity, one thought running through his mind, He knew I was here and I will suffer a fate far worse than death when caught, great spirits just take me now.
