Enslaved IV

Disclaimer: I do not own Attack on Titan.

Author's note: Ok, I know I've been a way for a LONG while, and that I need to finish the last two of these fics… however I reread them and realized I need to rewrite them all. In the meantime, I'm making this one. I will be focusing on Erwin and Levi with their "slaves" but I will be mentioning others. It makes it easier on everyone since there are so many characters and so many characters' die. Also, there will be spoilers. Specifically, from Chapter 84. However, I will not divulge in what actually happens… only because it's too tragic and if you don't know you should read… I will also be saving lives because you know if someone from our world ended up there… some lives would be saved.

Distraction

It had been two weeks since the most depressing chapter of Attack on Titan was revealed to the fandom. At least according to cosplayers Mia and Kay. Chapter 84 was the worst chapter the two had ever read. Both of them refused to show their faces on social media and any source of the fandom. Why was this chapter so horrible to them specifically? Mia cosplayed Levi Ackerman (Revaille) and Kay cosplayed Erwin Smith. Not only this, but they both felt deep and emotional bonds with the characters they cosplay.

In real life, the two also shared many personal and emotional traits with the characters. Their connection was the strongest than any other. The two worked in the local police force which ironically gave them similar positions. Kay worked as the Commissioner while Mia was captain of her own task force to help clean the streets of Philadelphia. Kay found Mia when she was a troublemaking teenager with no parents.

Kay's past was very similar to Erwin's. Her father was killed under strange circumstances from a corrupt police force. That was exactly why she insisted on becoming a policewoman. She wanted to bring order. She made many mistakes on her journey to becoming Commissioner and lost many comrades on her orders.

Unlike Levi, however, there was no uncle to take care of Mia after her mother died of cancer. In fear of being put into foster care she decided to live on the streets and live on her own. She was only 16 when Kay found her and arrested her. She gave Mia two choices. Go to a juvenile detention center, or have Kay, who was only 21 at the time, take her in. Unwilling to go to juvey, Mia decided to go with Kay. By the time she turned 18, Mia had gained a diploma from an online high school. Despite her lack of attendance, she was extremely smart and was able to graduate on time. Mia decided that she also wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement because of how Kay had influenced her, and joined the local police academy.

The two women continued living together and had obtained a very close bond. During their careers, they began watching anime and getting into the hobby of cosplaying. They even traveled all over the country for conventions.

At first, it was all for fun until they came across the anime/manga Attack on Titan/Shingeki No Kyojin. The moment the characters of Levi and Erwin came out they were enthralled and hooked. Previously, they had cosplayed for fun and did not go all out. But this series really made them break out of their shell. When they cosplayed these characters they felt as if they were truly the female versions of these characters. They created their own 3DMG along with commissioning special versions that were of live, lightweight steel. The steel was only able to be used with private, local photo shoots, but it was well worth it to look as close to the characters as they could.

They followed the manga every month as the newest chapters came out. Their coworkers always thought that their obsession was ridiculous, but it gave them closure to their own messed up lives. Sure the world they lived in was much different from the one shown in the story, but they truly related to the characters they cosplayed.

When they first became cosplayers, they never really thought much about Yaoi. A few years into it they started to get bolder with their fan service when people asked for pictures or if they went to photoshoots. The moment they laid their eyes on Erwin x Levi fanfiction and fan art and doujins, the two of them were so close that they were even able to kiss on the lips with each other. However, the two of them knew deep inside that their feelings for each other were similar to what the fans feel are real between Erwin and Levi. The two were just too stubborn to admit it to each other.

One day, the girls were given a special invitation to a very special anime convention. They were given privileges to open carry their live steel 3DMG around the convention. Everyone was 18+ for that reason specifically. This convention was so special that travel, hotel, and convention fees were paid in full by the hosts. It seemed to be something that was very much too good to be true. The two trained policewomen thought it over, and decided that maybe this convention was not such a bad idea. They would go but keep their guards up.

A few months later, the girls attended the convention. Nothing seemed suspicious. In fact, it was actually very interesting. There were no doubles of anyone running around. It seemed that this "invite only" deal meant that there would be no one cosplayer who was the same. There was an entire room dedicated for photoshoots. Every fandom had a scheduled day and time of two hours to take as many poses and photos as they wished. When they attended the Attack on Titan photoshoot, it seemed very strange that there were no cosplayers who played the main character of Eren, and most of the new recruits of his class. The only exceptions were maybe that of Annie, Bertholt, and Reiner. There were many cosplayers of the Levi's team along with random characters who live and die.

Despite this strange fact, the girls went on with their fun. Finally, the convention was over, and they went back to their hotel room for one more night.

"Well, that was different." Kay said with a smile taking off her 3DMG and laying on her bed. She had no wig because she enjoyed having her hair the same as Erwin's.

Mia, however was forced to use a wig because her hair was naturally curly and could never stay straight without using a straightener every single day. "Yea. I don't know if I've ever heard of something like that before. Still, the lack of main characters at that shoot really bugs me," she said laying down next to her after taking her 3DMG off. She didn't bother to take the wig off.

"You worry too much Mia." Kay sighed as she laid out with one arm to pull Mia in for a cuddle as they always did after a long and tiring convention.

"Mmhm…" the younger sighed rolling over to hug onto Kay. "I still can't believe they had fake blood waiting for you… that part of the shoot was horrible."

"Yea… don't remind me… Especially when I had to tie my arm behind my back too. That position was so uncomfortable." She sighed. She was trying so hard not to give in to the tears that always came when she remembered Erwin's fate from the previous chapter. Why did that photographer want to do something so horrible that was so fresh in their minds?

Before they could think of anything more, the lights suddenly went out. The two suddenly got alert. They went for their 3DMG only to find it missing.

"What…their gone…" Mia said confused. That was when she felt someone grab her from behind. She struggled and yelled as she was soon muffled by a rag laced with chloroform.

"MIA!" Kay called only to be knocked out from behind and dragged off as well.

"Mia… Mia…" Kay whispered urgently kicking Mia's leg gently.

"Wha…where the fuck are we Kay?" she asked weakly.

"I…I don't know… the others from the photoshoot are here… except for the ones who were the shifter titans…"

"Why would they be missing?"

"I don't know… but… it looks like we're in some sort of dungeon…"

As the two whispered back and forth they heard guards entering. They stayed silent as they attempted to watch the scene taking place. For hours they watched silently as a pair of twin girls who cosplayed Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry, two different groups of Kingdom Hearts cosplayers, and finally a group of D Gray Man cosplayers were taken by the guards with sacks on their heads.

"Where are they taking them?" Mia asked Kay.

"I…I don't know. But I have a weird feeling it has something to do with the convention and our cosplays. Look, they have all our weapons up there. Once they grab a group of people they take the weapons associated with them." She explained pointing to the group of 3DMG hooked up by their cell.

The two kept keeping watch as the rest of the cosplayers slowly woke up. When Mia looked over she realized they were cosplayers cosplaying the team that Levi had that Annie had killed.

"Hey, you cosplay a male version of Petra right?" she asked the man next to her.

"Yes, my name is Peter…"

"Mia." She introduced. "I know it's weird since we were not allowed to use our real names during the convention.

"It's fine… I just wish I knew what was going on."

Before they could say more, guards burst in. "Your turn." The head said grabbing Peter and the rest of the former team's cosplayers.

"Hey! Where are you taking them? Why are you not taking us?" Mia yelled angrily, but was met with a harsh slap in the face.

"Shut up. You'll know soon enough. Once you see them again you'll understand. That is… if they survive." He said with an evil smirk.

"Survive… what…"

"Mia… quiet. They'll just hurt you more…"

"Tch… their pissing me off…bastards…" Mia said angrily laying back. "How much longer are we going to live in this dirty place? You know how much I hate it…"

"I don't know… But they took the 3DMG belonging to them on the way up…"

"Great…" Mia sighed.

They waited a few more hours until the guards finally came back in and grabbed Mia and Kay putting sacks on their heads.

"Quiet or you will be punished. Understand? Slaves?" the guard warned.

"Hmph… fine…" Mia said angrily. She wanted so much to give them a piece of her mind, but this was not the right situation to do so. She did not know what it meant by slaves, but whatever it was did not bode well.
