Chapter 5: Tainting the red
A/n: quite an end to 4 am I right?! well I'm starting this the day after I uploaded 4 so let's see how long it takes!
Levi sat and held the cooling, lifeless body to his chest. Tears spilled from his eyes as a mixture of anger and sadness left his body.
The man sat, screaming as the tears split down his cheeks. He held the lifeless body close, whispering sweet nothings. This soldier had fallen, and its not so sure he will ever stand again.
As the Eren turned the body over, his breath caught in his throat. It wasn't Historia. He searched the whole camp...there wasn't another blonde.
There were only two conclusions:
She got away
Or
She was caught.
The boy didn't recognize the face. It was twisted in a cruel cry. As though it was stuck..Stiff.. The shape was more muscular, but the nose and lips suggested female. The eyelashes were long and dripped darkening blood. The skin was white, the body thin, but it wasn't familiar. The hair was an exact replica of Historia's, but it wasn't hers, this wasn't her. The hair was too short, the face too muscular, the lashes too long. This person looked younger, but it was a soldier, who?
Now that he thought, none of these bodies struck any resemblance to any one he met. No one looked like Connie..or Sasha... Are they prisoners? Did they get away? I just hope they're ok.
Then he remembered.
Hanji.
Eren dashed to the building and he gave a sigh of relief. It was completely untouched. Hanji must be okay. That means Corporals here. He took his time to enter. Hanji's okay..so everyone else has to be too. Right?
Of course.
If she's fine, my friends must be too. That is how it will be.
As he softly padded up the stairs, a sound hit the sadness reddened ears. Sobbing. Who would be crying? Maybe Hanji? Why would she cry?
The peace slowly quickened as the feet made small thumps going up the stairs. His heart thumped as pictures of his friends, mangled, rang through his head. Blood stained hair, tainted skin, the life drained from their eyes. Eyes that once smiled with enthusiasm, now dull and empty. Eren froze. The thought of death to people he loved...
Hurt.
Not again.
Tears slowly slipped down his cheeks as that day slipped through his mind. I could have saved her. I could have. If I tried... She'd be... We'd be... a family..
Hard , rigid breathes escaped the thin lips, as the face paled. The brunette's light steps turned into heavy stomps as he clambered up the stairs.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With labored breathing his green orbs widened as the door came into view. It, too, seemed untouched. How was this possible? There was so much blood, and..
A low sobbing echoed from the separate room. Small grunts that seems mad. A mix of emotions held into think hearty sobs, just slipping through the cracks of a door.
Too low to be Hanji's. A deep sorrowful sob, soft and barely heard. It sounded slightly forced, like it hurt for the person to sob.
Eren stepped closer, beginning to hear soft whispers. Beginning to make out the fact it was a man's sob. Beginning to fear the situation...
Ca-clump Ca-clump
The raven haired girl's horse galloped with urgency! understanding the stress its rider was under. It hurried along an uncut path, fastest to its destination. The girl stared ahead with fear, with anger filling her eyes. She leaned closer to the horse as she grasped the reigns with all her strength. Almost there.
They're ok...
A man wallowed over a body, beginning to go rigid. He whispered into it. Explaining how he couldn't be without her, how he would do anything to have her back. The sobs wracked his body as the man forced them to escape quietly... the salty water drenched his face, as it slid down the thin cheeks.
The door creaked softly as a boy slowly pushed at it.. Levi became defensive. Moving urgently to a battle position, he growled.
Get out.
The boy stopped pushing the door. Heichou... The brunette boy inhaled and held as he finished opening the door.
Unless Levi seriously hurt him...his limbs will regenerate...he would heal from any trauma he could do..
And if he did die... He'd be glad that it was his Corporal who took his life..
As the door opened, the small man pounced, death raced in the empty, gray eyes.
He could not see Eren.
He saw the disgusting face of the one who killed his beloved.
His beloved...
The soldier had stood again...
Able to stand with the adrenaline of revenge...
~~~~(this marks the end of Eren and Levi for this chapter sorry)~~~~
Grayish eyes burned with fear, raven hair held back with the force of wind, a thin pale face grimaced as horrid thoughts raced through a head. Visions of blood splashing out of her friends stomachs, crying and screaming in pain. Rendered helpless as blood sputtered out of their mouths and down their bodies.
The color completely drained from the already pale face, leaving it white and almost lifeless. Gray eyes acrid towards the horizon, finally coming upon the tall white building. The sharp eyes darted around the building, searching for any sign of blood. It seemed clean, but she was still a bit far to tell.
Just one more hill...
I'll be able to see clearly.
The horse galloped onto the hill, coming to an abrupt stop. The scent of blood and death filled its nostrils. It whinnied and stepped back, knowing the doom that happened ahead.
The riders face paled more, the veins almost showing through her skin.
So much blood.
So much death.
So many innocent people were dead.
Mikasa whipped the horses reigns, but it did not move. It didn't want to go forward any more than she smell was horrid, the sight even worse. Bodies strewn about, before her.
The ravemn haired girl dipped and began to run towards the building. Hanji. Hanji was a weakness of Levi. Hanji was targeted. So that's where they are...right?
Her family is fine
Aren't they?
A/n: I haven't talked about mikasa since the second chapter... so I thought I'd bring her back...a lot of next chapter will probably be mikasa and or armin
