She felt like the world was spinning. Krista felt her head throb. Her mind was a foggy mess. She couldn't remember anything for a few heart stopping moments.

Then she opened her eyes. Immediately Krista was blinded by morning light and she quickly brought her hand to her face to protect her blue eyes. Wait a minute….

Morning?!

"Ahhhhhhh!'" Was all she could scream as she shot up. Her hands gripped the fabric beneath her. It was ripped and she felt foam underneath the torn cloth. Krista's eyes scanned around and then she felt her stomach twist sickly.

The blond was in the backseat of a beaten up Chevy Nova judging by the interior. The guess was thanks to the knowledge from her father who had a knack for old cars. She felt her heart ache at the thought of her father. The event of last night playing in her head all over again. Tears welled up at the edge of her eyes. She didn't want to get married. She didn't want a husband.

Krista looked up at the front seat and felt her heart thump more.

There, Ymir, laid slouched as the freckled girl snored in her sleep. Krista scooted back in the seat and started to panic. What was she doing with Ymir? Did she….? Krista's hands reached for the door handle in a frenzy. She had to get out. Why the hell was she here? What is going on?

The door swung open as Krista pulled and she fell onto the ground with the soft impact of snow. Her hands scraped against the icy powder and she scrambled up. She swerved around examining her surroundings. What the hell was she doing on a cliff?

Krista strided quickly to the near edge and saw the town beneath. The cliff overlooked the town and she could spot cars driving to work for the morning. Why was she here? Woods laid bordered the top of the cliff, bare trees guiding a trail the car could have used. She had to get out of here.

The blond quickly started to race towards the rocky path, her heartbeat pounding in her ears. She was barely a few meters away when she heard a voice yelp her name.

"Krista, wait!"

Ymir.

How dare she use her casual name. No one was allowed to call her that expect her friends and family. Ymir wasn't even her acquaintance.

Krista refused to turn back as she heard the brunette trip out of the car and run after her. She had to move faster. Only if she was athletic.

The small blond could already hear Ymir's footsteps crunching lightly towards her as she proceeded escape.

The wind was in her face and she opened her mouth to shout a warning. "Get away from me! I'll-!" She was quickly cut off as she felt arms wrap around her. Immediately in defense, Krista wriggled in the strong grip and started to thrash. "Let me go! You-You kidnapper!"

"Dammit Krista!" She felt Ymir's hot breath on her neck as the brunette tried to keep her still.

The blond struggled some more and managed to break free. "Don't you dare use that name! You have no right!" Krista felt tears wanting to pour. How dare she? That was the last thing she wanted. The feelings of curiosity for Ymir from before were quickly diminished and all Krista wanted to do was get away from her. Ymir was the last person she wanted to be around.

"Listen, Historia," Ymir huffed. Her hands were raised as if Krista was a wild animal she was trying to calm down. "Take it easy. I didn't kidnap you."

"Why should I trust you?!" Krista shouted with a glare. She felt her tears burn at the sides of her blue eyes. It was of frustration and sadness. Her feet moved backwards.

The brunette's expression turned to genuine worry. "You hit your head hard. I found you. I didn't know where you lived, so I put you in my car to protect you from the cold. You were freezing Krista," The tall girl tried explaining as Krista tensed up in preparation to run.

"Why didn't you leave me?" Disbelief coated her voice. "I've done nothing to earn your kindness." She breathed heavily, she felt pain squeezing her heart. Her family didn't want her. She was trying to get away. All Krista could remember was her running in the snow and heading towards town. Her head started to whirl and she felt woozy.

"You're right," Ymir sighed, bringing her arms down. "But you're a Reiss for Christ sake! I couldn't just leave you, you are way too valuable."

"No I'm not." Ymir's face shadowed in confusion at Krista's statement.

"Of course you are, Princess!" Ymir tried to humor and took a few steps forward. Krista took a step back in response. The brunette paused as her eyebrows knitted in confusion. "A commoner like me should be groveling at your feet right now."

Krista looked down at the ground for a moment. "No you shouldn't." Her family was a greedy monster who didn't deserve the fame. They would go to any levels to keep themselves alive. That's why they were going to arrange a marriage for her. She was simply a pawn in their complex game.

"Don't talk like that," Ymir's face darkened and her mouth screwed up in disgust. "Whatever is going on right now in your perfect life is nothing." The change in emotion startled the blond for a moment.

Krista looked up at her and felt the tears she tried to hold pour down her cheeks. The brunette was probably right. It must be nothing compared to all the common folk out there. Her situation was probably an appetizer to the whole regulaur's meal. Her tears streamed down her face as she stared at Ymir, shading the snow it landed on. The brunette looked taken back and didn't seem to know what to do. Her life wasn't bad as the girl that stood before her. Ymir probably has more jobs than what Krista's weekly chores was.

"Wait a minute," The brunette stepped forward cautiously and approached slowly. "I didn't mean that. I'm sorry, Historia don't cry." Ymir finally reached her and this time Krista didn't run. The blonde felt how awkward Ymir must be feeling right now. It wasn't her fault. Krista had never cried in front of anyone before.

She sniffed, trying to swipe at the tears that kept on flowing. Where was Frieda when Krista needed her? She wasn't in the conversation Krista had heard. Maybe she was just as angry as her younger sibling.

"Historia," Ymir breathed and, in a hesitant way, placed a hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. Krista flinched at first but then soaked in the warmth of the brunette's hand. "Look don't cry. You're way too pretty to cry like this."

Krista sniffed at that as her tears gradually slowed down. Did Ymir just compliment her? She rubbed her eyes with the heel of her hands and looked up at the taller girl.

Ymir stared back, her brown eyes misted with feelings that Krista couldn't identify. They stood there for a few seconds before Ymir quickly let go of the blond and turned around, clearing her throat.

"Here Historia," The brunette began, slightly flustered. "Ummm….you're in no condition to go to school today. Let me take you to a coffee shop and we can warm you up."

"You don't need to do that." Krista stated. She was really surprised that Ymir wanted to bother even doing that. The short blond had never been kind to the freckled brunette, or at least she couldn't recall ever showing any act of kindness to her. "I just...need...to...go.." Her heart sank as she remembered the whole reason why she was out here. Krista didn't want to go home.

Ymir was heading towards the beaten up Chevy. "Where?"

"Nowhere."

The drive was silent, not counting the barely audible music that played from the radio. Ymir drove carefully and slowly on the icy streets. Something that also surprised Krista. But then again, only an idiot would drive crazily on winter roads. And as Krista slowly started to discover Ymir, she was realizing the girl wasn't the idiot Krista thought she was.

"Here we are." Ymir said, parking the car. "I'm pretty sure you recognize this place, right?"

Krista looked out the window and spotted the familiar text. Levi's and Hanji's Coffee Shop.

"Come on," Ymir stepped out of the car and locked it when Krista got out. "We owe you a free coffee anyways. Might as well use it to get your short ass warm." The way Ymir said that was friendly. How the brunette grinned in a playful manner. No one had ever spoke to Krista in that way unless it was to put her down. Krista couldn't help but like it. It was new.

When the two walked in, they were greeted by shouting.

"Dammit, Four-eyes keep the sink off when you're drying dishes!"

"I'm rinsing the others though!"

"Do one thing at a time!"

Crash!

"Why did you drop the plate?!"

"Your voice startled me!"

"Go get the broom!"

Krista watched as a woman with glasses strolled out of the kitchen in a hurry and went towards the closet that must of contained what she was looking for. As she grabbed a broom and a dustpan, when she turned around the woman jumped in surprise at the sight of them.

The brown haired woman quickly discarded what she held and rushed to them in an excited way, "Ymir! You didn't tell us you were coming! Huh, who's this?!" The older girl grabbed Krista's hand and smiled in a very friendly way. "Is this your girlfriend?! Awwww, she's so cute!"

"Hanji, stop it!" Ymir's face grew red and the color reached the tips of her ears. She nudged Hanji gently away from the short girl and informed matter-of-factly. "She isn't my girlfriend. She's my friend's."

"Oh you mean that Reiner, kid? Aww that's unfortunate," She pouted and looked back at Krista. The woman brought out her hand and grinned. "Hi, my name's Hanji Zoe! But I guess you already knew that."

Krista took the bubbly woman's hand and shook it with a polite smile, "Greetings, my name is Historia." She left out her last name for important reasons. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Ooooo," Hanji wiggled her eyebrows and gave a suggestive look at Ymir. "A classy one aren't you?" The tall teen hissed at the comment.

That comment made Krista frowned for a moment. She were taught the manners from her family. That they always had said that the best way to make your image great was a proper greeting. It made her sad for moment that she was trained to keep a good image on the family since she was little. And now she was just beginning to notice. Krista shook her head and brought up the smile, she was so accustomed to.

"Hanji! What the hell is taking you so-...oh," A short man, Krista immediately recognized as Levi, walked out of the kitchen area and frowned when he saw Ymir and Krista. "Didn't know we had a customer."

Ymir seemed to lower a little as Levi shot her gaze. The brunette seemed suddenly ashamed and it somewhat baffled Krista at how Ymir visabley shrinked. "Levi…we owe her a free coffee. She was one of the people who had ordered and didn't get what she wanted.."

"Ah, I see." Levi's frown didn't falter and he went to go pick up the broom and dustpan that Hanji had thrown to the ground at their arrival. "I didn't know free coffee was a good enough excuse to ditch school and drag someone down along with you."

Ymir's lips curved into a similar frown like Levi's. "Look-,"

"Ymir, I don't want to hear it." Levi said in a monotone voice.

"Why do you care?" Ymir replied in a sudden sharp way. Krista spotted the brunette's fingers curling up and uncurling. She had seen this before. Krista could remember a time in the halls when a student had started to mock her. They were younger then. Junior High, she believed. A boy had started to pick on her and the brunette had reacted negatively. Ymir had been a reactive person when they were younger. Though Krista had only seen these actions every once in awhile when she happened to be around. "It's not like your my old man or anything."

Levi sighed, seeming unaffected by the statement. The man turned to look at Krista. "What would you like to have?" Ymir snorted but Levi dismissed it.

"Uhhh-...I would just like regular coffee please," She started and caught Hanji's eye as the woman seemed to look a little saddened. Levi nodded and turned to go get her cup ready.

"I'll get it," Ymir quickly cut in with a rough tone and paced towards the kitchen. A few moments of silence passed as all three watched her go then Levi sighed wearily.

He glanced at Hanji then at Krista with a shake of his head. "I'm sorry that you saw that," Levi apologized, his face resembling slight concern and disappointment. "Ymir can be very sensitive at times."

Krista's eyes shifted towards the window as she watched a man walk by the store window. She replied, "It's fine. We all have our moments."

"She seems to have long moments then." Levi snorted.

Krista couldn't help but wonder back to the time Ymir had stopped Reiner from blowing up. She was pretty calm and content then. "If Ymir was able to stop a fight then I think she is capable of controlling herself."

"Ymir stopped a fight?" Hanji perked at the info given. The brunette adjusted her glasses. "When?"

"A….few days ago," Krista suddenly felt nervous. It wasn't her business saying this but the words had slipped from her mouth. And Levi and Hanji seemed to act like her parents even though they were obviously not. Though they did share some similar traits.

"Ah so we are improv-" Hanji quickly shut her mouth as Ymir walk back into the room. She carried 4 cups of coffee on a tray and went to go sit it down by a nearby table.

"Was it anything bad?" The tall girl asked as she took a cup and sipped it.

"What was bad?" Hanji asked with a light grin.

"I know you were talking about me," Ymir said putting down her mug and handing Levi and Hanji one. "Here. Since I know you want to sit and chat with Kris...Historia here."

"Thanks," Levi muttered and took a long drink of his coffee then went to grab the sitting broom. "But Hanji's mess isn't going to clean itself." The small man strutted off with a soft grumble.

Krista watched him go then turned to Ymir and Hanji. Both brunettes were starting to sit at the table and Hanji motioned for the blond to join them.

As she sat, Ymir pushed her mug of coffee towards Krista.

"Thank you," The short girl nodded and took a drink from the green container. Immediately Krista felt the warmth soak throughout her body making her feel comfortable. She hummed softly and took another drink. This coffee tastes better than what she had before and Krista's family uses a expensive brand.

"So," Hanji cleared her throat, catching Krista's attention. "What do you guys plan on doing today since you're both playing hookie?"

The blond paused. She hadn't thought of that. Krista had a whole day to herself and she couldn't go to her home and she didn't want to go to school. Her blue eyes shifted to Ymir as the brunette stared at her mug. The teen's fingers drummed against the table making the coffee in her container vibrate and make small ripples. As if Ymir could feel her gaze, the tan girl looked up and stared at Krista with hooded eyes.

"I….don't really know," Krista quickly turned to the older woman and shrugged.

"That's good then!" Hanji didn't take her hesitance seriously and looked at Ymir. "You two can go on a date then!"

Ymir spat out the coffee she was drinking and started to choke.

Krista tried to fight back a laugh and watched as Ymir's face grew red once again. That would be fine I guess. It wouldn't be an actual date but it's better hanging out with her then wandering the streets alone.

"Hanji she's not my girlfriend!" Ymir scolded the woman with glasses.

"Then make her be-!" Hanji was cut off as Krista started to chuckle lightly.

Both brunettes stared at her. Their expressions paralleling each other.

"It's fine. It sounds like a great idea."

Ymir seemed nervous. Uncomfortable. And though her face was straight, the blond could still feel it. Krista really didn't know why. Well she could guess but she thought that died a long time ago. Ymir couldn't still have a crush on her? Could she? Ymir had came off rough to her on all those previous encounters. The coffee shop and the grocery store. But then again, Ymir did save her after all. She would have probably froze to death if it wasn't thanks to her. As she thought about the few things she had last seen for a moment her heart skipped a beat.

"Where do you wanna go?" Ymir asked, breaking Krista out of her thoughts. The blond looked up at her then around the mall. There was a few stores she recognized and others she didn't.

"Umm," She chewed the inside of her mouth thoughtfully then found a store that caught her eye.

Nanaba's Bookstore

That could do.

"Let's go there."

"You like books?" Ymir inquired as they started to walk towards the store. "I didn't know that."

"Well...there's a lot of things you don't know." Krista came off a bit harshly and she immediately regretted it. Ymir hasn't been mean to her at all lately.

The brunette stiffened slightly and replied quickly, "I was just wondering. I never saw you as the bookworm type."

"I read a lot actually." Krista informed. When she wasn't out with her parents or doing homework, she would usually either be in her backyard or room reading. It was something she enjoyed doing and she loved Freida so much for teaching her how to read. With pang at the remembrance if her sister, Krista thought to herself. I hope I'm not causing too much worry for her because of my disappearance.

"Good to know." Ymir nodded and they both entered the store. "Well I'm going to look around for some books for Levi. Find me when your done."

Krista gave her an Okay and started to wander around. As she strided down an aisle, she found a woman as tall as Ymir restocking a bookshelf.

The older woman looked up and smiled kindly. "Hello! I'm Nanaba, the store owner. Do you need any help?"

"No thank you," Krista shook her head in polite refusal and walked past her.

Her eyes scanned the shelves for a few minutes until she came across a familiar looking book. Lord of the Flies

"Hey," Krista said not talking to anyone in particular. "I remember you. I haven't read you in ages!" Her voice hushed she grabbed the book and flipped through it and skimmed through the pages. Ah what a beautiful horrid and dramatic story about young boys.

"Yo, Historia." Ymir's voice caught her attention and Krista turned to look at her. She was gripping a plastic bag with two books. "You find something you like?" Ymir went up to her and looked at the cover of the book she was holding. "Woah, that sounds freaky."

"It's actually more sad than fr-" Krista was cut off by the store owner's voice.

"Greetings officers, how may I help you?" Krista reached on the tips of her toes to peer through the bookshelf. She spotted a missing persons poster in one of their hands.

The two officers were rather disparate from each other. One was tall and thin and the other was short and heavy.

"Have you seen a girl by the name of Historia Reiss?" The heavy one asked and raised the poster, showing a picture of Krista. She remembered that picture when it was shot. Freida had took it when she was sitting in the garden. The blond was smiling calmly and her eyes seemed to shone. Well they would have if there was color to the picture. "She's been missing for a total of 24 hours now."

Krista felt her heart pound as she watched Nanaba's expression change. Krista didn't want to be found. She didn't want to go home. Almost as if the store owner had her silent begs, she watched as Nanaba glanced towards her way then shake her head.

"Not here, sir." The blond woman said, respectfully. "I don't I would be worthy enough for a Reiss anyways."

Thank god. Krista praised the woman silently and watched the two cops nod.

"Very well," The tall one said gruffly. "If you receive any news of her make sure to inform us. Have a good day." They both turned around and walked off.

"Have a wonderful day too!" Nanaba called to them as they left.

Krista let a puff of air out and relaxed down onto her feet. She turned to look at Ymir, who was stressing out. The brunette's eyes were widened and she was running her hands through her hair as she paced around in circles.

"Holy shit," She cursed several times and then she faced the short blond. "Dammit! I should have taken you home when you woke up! Now look where that puts me! I could get arrested for damn false accusations!"

Krista puffed her cheeks at the brunette and rolled her eyes. "Calm down,Ymir." She told the girl and watched as she jumped a little. "I won't let that happen. Besides I don't want to go home."

"Why not?! I would kill to have a luxury life like yours!"

"Ymir, no you wouldn't. I ran away for a reason."

Ymir snorted, "What? Because they didn't get your shampoo right?"

"No," Krista scolded feeling irritation crawl back into her. For awhile she was fine with the brunette but now she was reminded why she had hated her-or still did. "It's none of your business anyways."

Ymir growled and went to grab Krista by the wrist. Krista yelped in protest but Ymir ignored her. "Well come on," She said pulling the girl. "We can't stay here. Also hide your face."

"Ymir, stop it." Krista commanded as the brunette finished throwing the last piece of bread onto a grouchy goose. "He's going to attac-!"

Too late. The white bird honked loudly and flapped its wings in a threatening manner. It glided away from the water and towards them.

"Run!" Ymir laughed, grabbing Krista's hand for the 4th time today and pulled her away from the goose. The male bird gave up the chase when they were a few meters away from it and went to back to the pond. Ymir snorted in a another round of laughter and blew a raspberry at the bird.

Krista couldn't help but crack a small smile. They haven't been out here long and they were very limited to where they could go but Ymir decided to buy a loaf of bread and feed the ducks to burn some time. It was peaceful for a while until the tall girl thought it was a good idea to throw the food on the ducks instead of feeding them.

"Hey, did Historia Reiss just smile?!" Ymir asked jokingly as she turned to look at her. "I think she just did! I did it, oh yeah!" She thrusted her fist into the air with a grin.

Krista's smile grew wider, something uncontrollable. "Quit it." Krista laughed as Ymir did a mini victory dance. "It's not like I never smile."

"Well, yeah. Of course you do but it's the first time you smiled with me." Ymir muttered and scuffed the earth with her shoe. The brunette's eyes moved to scan over the pond and her facial expression seemed calm and a dreamy look glazed her eyes.

Krista felt her heart drop for moment. That was true. She had smiled around Ymir but it was never because of her. The blond felt bad but she should have known better. Of course the girl knew she disliked her, that's why the brunette probably came off rough in return. Ymir wasn't stupid, no matter how much Krista's beliefs clouded the truth.

They stood there in silence for a few minutes, staring at the pond. The sun was just starting to past it's highest point in the sky. They still had a handful of hours left and Krista hadn't thought that far of what was going to happen when that time came to an end. She couldn't avoid home. It was inevitable. And though Krista dreaded the thought, she had no choice. For even if she were to refuse to return home, the police were looking for her and they would find her eventually.

"Come on," Ymir's voice broke Krista away from her thoughts. "I want to show you something." Ymir turned around and started to trudge up the hill towards where she parked her beaten up car.

"Where are we going?" Krista inquired.

"You will see when we get there."

When they got in the car, the drive was slow but comfortable. Ymir made sure to keep an eye out for cops looking for Krista even if the blond knew that the brunette probably felt like a criminal doing so. Either way she drove downtown and passed the bridge where Krista had passed out there. Looking at it now, she felt the memories flood in and she gave Ymir a worried glance. She didn't want to think of it but Krista would have to ask her eventually.

Ymir's car turned onto a trail in the woods and Krista thought she was taking them back to the cliff but the inference was wrong. As a few minutes passed of dead bare trees, Ymir parked her car onto the side and got out. Krista followed and she inhaled the crisp air. The woods seemed to contain much more refreshing and cleaner air and the blond enjoyed it.

The brunette walked into the woods and motioned for Krista to follow. Krista obeyed and tried to keep pace by stepping into the footprints she had made in the snow.

The journey wasn't long and Ymir stopped by a thick oak tree. The tall girl looked up with a small grin.

There in the tree, was a wooden tree house that looked pretty old.

Ymir grabbed a rope ladder that hung from the makeshift building and she climbed up. "Let's go slowpoke."

Krista approached the tree and looked up as Ymir continued to climb. "I don't know…I don't think I trust you." She half-heartedly joked and grabbed the rope. It felt rough and worn against her palms.

Ymir entered the tree house and peered out the door frame. "What do you mean? You can trust me," The brunette winked and disappeared from view.

Krista scoffed and shook her head. If Ymir hadn't sheltered her in her car and done so many things for her already, she would have denied. 24 hours ago, she would have refused any offer the girl had. Now…..she was sort of getting use to her.

Pulling herself up, Ymir gently helped her get onto the platform. The blond huffed as she sat on the wooden floor and looked around. The treehouse wasn't that special but it had a safe comfortable feeling too it. A red beaten couch laid against the wall with a chest in front of it as if it was a makeshift coffee table. The cutted out windows and dirty towels as curtains and a few wooden shelves lined the walls.

"You come here often?" Krista asked, getting up and dusting her knees.

Ymir flopped onto the couch and stared at her with a playful grin. "My home away from home." She kicked her boots off and laid on the couch, her hands behind her head. "Y'know since were like running away from cops like the criminals we are, I decided you should know about this place."

"Does anyone else know this is here?"

"Only Reiner," Ymir sighed and then craned her neck to look at Krista. "And don't get any ideas about bringing your high-top friends here." She pointed a finger accusingly at her.

Krista brought a hand up to her chest in a dramatically. "I am shocked that you would think I would do such a thing!"

"Don't worry, you don't have to fake around me. Be truly the person you are." Ymir said a little bluntly that felt like an stone cold arrow through her chest. The brunette was smart. The girl was observant and it made Krista feel weird.

Meeting her eyes, Krista felt a new electricity crackle through them like a static tv. Does Ymir know Krista forced a smile upon strangers? That it hurt just to stay calm to someone so bothersome? Krista turned her head away to look at the window.

As her was attention drawn away from Ymir, Krista spotted something moving in the trees. The blond walked a few steps forward to lean out the treehouse's window and she scanned the snow covered floor.

There.

A doe and it's fawn.

"Oh hey!" Ymir whispered loudly from behind her, startling the blond and making her jump. Ymir chuckled but didn't comment on her actions. The brunette turned and went to the chest and opened it.

Krista watched her curiously as the freckled teen pulled out deer feed.

"They come here often." She explained and pranced toward the door frame. She swooped down and swung down the ladder. Krista watched as somehow her feet landed gently on snow and soon followed. But she did it much more safer than the taller girl.

Krista reached the bottom with a soft grunt and looked for Ymir. She spotted the brunette creeping forward towards the animals like as if she was a wolf stalking prey. A handful of deer feed was cupped in her hands and she didn't make a sound.

The brunette stopped a few feet away from the forest creatures and tossed some of the food at the ground near them. The doe lifted it's head and stared at Ymir then slowly walked towards the food. Its ears flicked as it bent it's head down and started to take a few grains in its mouth. Its fawn stuck closely behind and waited for its mother to finish.

Krista approached Ymir carefully and watched this beautiful scene. The deer were such gentle and shy things. Something Krista admired but felt sorry for. The fact that these creatures had a season of slaughter but it was the only way to keep balance. She knew that but she hated it.

Ymir tossed more food at the animals, this time a little closer to them. The fawn stepped carefully forward and clumsily bent down to eat the grains.

"Here," Ymir's voice was barely a whisper as the girl grabbed Krista's arm and placed feed in the blond's hand. "Hold your hands out."

Krista obeyed and followed Ymir's instructions. As the doe finished it's serving it walked cautiously towards Krista.

The blond felt her breath hitch as the doe neared her every second. Then finally the distance was closed.

Krista felt slight forced as the female deer's chin bumped against her fingers and it licked up the feed. The short girl smiled as the fawn soon joined and both creatures were eating out of the palm of her hand.

And as Krista soaked up this peaceful scene, she failed to feel the warmth crawling up her as Ymir's hand rested on her shoulder as the brunette stared at her in the most loving way possible.
