Yo Peeps!
I'm back before a month has passed. Or more than a month for most of the latest updates. There's like 10 more days left.
But anyways after I posted the last chapter became very inspired or not as lazy. And wrote a lot for this story, so now that I have some free time. Since my band camp is over and it's a weekend let's update this story.
Disclaimer-I don't own Shingeki no Kyojin in anyway, but I'd be SUPER HAPPY if I did.
But I don't.
SOoooooooooooo here's the second chapter!
(Recap)
"You're going to accept it aren't you?" He said looking me into my eyes.
I smirked, but my eyes softened, I heaved a heavy sigh and said, "You know I would do anything Kyle. This place is a prison, confining me forever in the dark. I won't survive much longer in the dark, I promised my sister that I would survive and live on. But I also promised that I would fight, and if I did die I wouldn't die in for nothing."
"I-I have to do this," I stuttered.
"I- I have to do this," I stuttered.
He grinned a little, "I understand, Karen and I will always be here for you. Don't do anything foolish to get yourself killed."
I chuckled and said, "I'll try my best, but knowing me I can't guarantee that I won't."
"I guess I can't, can I?"
I shook my head.
We had arrived at the throne room, and I turned to Kyle and hugged him. He and Karen were my best friends in this hell hole. And I truly didn't want to leave them, but I had made my decision. I released Kyle and faced the doors. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, preparing myself for the challenge. That waited past the set of doors.
I confidently knocked on the door three times with my knuckles. The doors swung in to reveal the king sitting high above his throne. I spied Karen sitting next to him and also Commander Erwin on the sidelines. I approached King Spencer and his entourage of nobles (or whatever they are, I have no idea. Ministers?).
"Your majesty," I spoke bowing my head, my blonde and pink hair falling over my shoulders. I never was the type of girl to ~cue shivers~ curtsey.
"Airi Cross," he began his voice commanding the entire room, "are you aware of your presence here today?"
Of course I already knew the answer, "Yes your majesty, I am aware why I was called here in front you," I answered politely.
"Well them Airi," he stated calmly, "you know that I can't afford to lose one of my best soldiers. "
"Yes sir I have already taken that into consideration,"
King Spencer smiled thinking that would turn down Erwin's offer.
Not by a long shot. I smirked, "However there's no way that I'm staying here." I swiftly bring the dagger that was hidden in my jacket to my throat.
The guards stationed in the room tensed and stepped closer to the king. Pfffff he wasn't in any danger, why would I even attempt to kill the king. Only an idiot would do that.
"You won't do it," the king said sounding certain that it was a bluff. Though I could clearly hear the worry in his tone of voice. The king and I weren't on the best of terms, but we didn't loathe each other. I mean if he hated me I'm sure I never would've met Karen.
"Ohhhh," I said innocently, "are you sure about that, your highness." I pressed the dagger into my skin, drawing the first signs of blood. It did hurt and sting, but this was only a small price to pay for freedom.
"This won't get you transferred Airi, pulling a stunt like this."
"Hmmmmm, well if this isn't enough are you saying that I'm supposed to die without making a contribution to humanity? That I'm supposed to die protecting you and not your precious citizens? My, what a selfish king you are, cowering inside your castle behind your walls, while soldiers are risking their lives to protect everyone, tsk tsk tsk."
His expression immediately darkened, he is getting agitated.
"How about we add another variable in, shall we?" I asked in a mocking tone.
I heard a guard gasp, "Princess?!"
The king's eyes widened and his head snapped over to his daughter, who was sitting beside him. And if it's even possible his eyes became even bigger at the sight of his beloved daughter holding a knife willingly to her own throat.
"Karen," he yelled, "what are you doing?"
With an apologetic look she replied, "I'm sorry father, but if Airi truly wants to transfer then I'll make sure that she gets her wish."
He looked at his daughter with a hurt expression. He dropped his head staring at his lap reconsidering his original decision.
"So your majesty, are you willing to let your only daughter slit her throat." I said seriously narrowing my eyes.
"You are free to do as you wish." He mumbled quietly but I still heard him loud and clear.
But since he made this process so difficult I decided to mess with him, as revenge.
"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that your highness. Would you repeat it?"
He looked up and met my gaze. "You may transfer if you wish," He said this time in a strong clear voice.
I beamed at Karen holding up a victory sign with my fingers (a peace sign). She returned the smile and lowered the knife that she held at her throat. I did the same, but when I did I saw quite a few drops of deep crimson blood left on the silver blade.
"Shit," I said as I lightly touched my throat and felt a warm liquid slowly running down my neck and over my collar bone. Now I had to visit the infirmary to get this sanitized and bandaged. Why couldn't he just have spared me all this trouble?
I groaned in annoyance, and then took my handkerchief out to wipe the blood off the dagger. The white cloth was dyed a deep red as I returned the dagger to my jacket pocket. I carelessly crumpled the fabric into a messy sphere in my hand, and began to walk towards the infirmary. Gently pressing the cloth to my neck to prevent any blood from accidentally dripping.
I'm going to call this chapter done for now because if I continue the next "acceptable" stopping point is a long way away. And I have already taken a few hours to type this up.
Hopefully this isn't to bad of a place to I'm sorry that this chapter didn't have much to it. It was mostly just Ai trying to get transferred. -
Umm, thank you Savitron9001 for reviewing on the first chapter. I actually started to write more on this story after reading your review. I was like why not write more so I sat my butt down at my desk and focused on writing. And now I have progress to post!
