Chapter 10

While he was talking, Eren scowled. Armin finished and everyone looked at Eren.

"So you want to trick her, take advantage of her trust in me, and me, the only person she trusts, needs to pull it off?" Eren asked.

"That is what we are saying," Erwin said.

"I don't want to betray her! If we don't catch her, she won't trust me or anyone else again!" Eren exclaimed.

"Yes, but Eren, don't you want to find out who this is? You like her don't you?" Jean asked. Eren flushed.

"I can't explain it. I feel connected to her in a way I haven't felt before. It's insane, I don't even know who it is," Eren explained. "Also, the only black haired girl I have been close with is Mikasa and we know it's not her." Everyone nodded.

"So," Levi said. "Are you in?" Eren sighed. He opened his mouth but hesitated.

"This could cost us a lot of we fail," Eren warned.

"A risk we're willing to take if you are," Erwin said.

"I'll do it! I want to find out who this is," Eren said.

"Alright, it's settled. Now it's dinner time and we've been hogging the dining room," Levi said.

That night, Thalia couldn't sleep. She couldn't get over the fact that she may have fallen for Eren Jaeger, she barely knew him! Actually that's a lie, she knew him from training, but still. Will he be upset with her since she's the Female Titan? It sounds stupid, and it probably is, and she is never one for worrying, but she is afraid that Eren will hate her from keeping such a big secret from him and everyone else. She is mad at herself for showing so much emotion. Maybe becoming a titan opened something up inside her that she locked away after the fall of Shiganshina. She didn't realize how strong her feelings for Eren were until she saw the smoke signal, after she got Ivanna to safety. Something inside her clicked and she was hit with emotion she wasn't prepared or ready to handle. Her heart ached, longing for him, just to be in his presence. She always worshipped his determination and strength compared to the other trainees, she won't deny it.

Thalia sighed and turned to her left to her left side. When she opened her eyes she saw the glimmer of blue eyes staring down at her. She would have screamed if the person didn't cover her mouth. When her eyes adjusted she glared.

"Krista!" she hissed. "You almost scared me half to death!" Krista smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, I just couldn't sleep and you were tossing and turning so I assumed you couldn't either," she explained. Thalia sighed and moved over and Krista got in under the covers beside her. They were both on their backs facing the bottom of Mikasa's bed, where she happily slept. "So today was pretty interesting," Krista said.

"Well, I was slaying titans, don't know what you guys were doing," Thalia said.

"We were following the Female Titan around," Krista said. Thalia nodded.

"Must've been fun," Thalia said.

"Well, at first it was horrifying. We could hear her coming and it happened so fast. She came crashing towards us at full speed. The only thing all of us could think was "run"! We did, but she followed us and she was quick and skilled. She ran in front of us and stopped making us halt in place. We were all frozen in fear. She got down on one knee and stared at us. She then grabbed me and for a moment I thought I was dead. My life flashed before my eyes. I let out my fear in a sob. She looked surprised, so she wiped my tears away," Krista explained.

"Tch, softie basterd," Thalia muttered, silently cursing herself for showing such affection. Krista laughed lightly.

"Maybe, but she placed me in the wagon and put Ivanna in there. She saved the little girl. For a moment the titan stood there in silence, but when she saw the smoke signal, she took off almost immediately. She knew what it meant and went to help. We went after her, barely keeping up. She saved Eren from a pouncing titan." Thalia looked amused.

"Eren Jaeger? Saved? Impossible!" Thalia scoffed. Krista smiled.

"We explained to Mikasa, hoping Eren was listening, about the Female Titan. When we saw her being led into a trap, something snapped in Eren. He charged after her. A sense of dread washed over all of us. They didn't know that this Female Titan was different. They were going to retort to drastic measures and probably kill her. When we neared the forest, we heard the canons go off, the same thing that happened with Annie. Eren seemed to get angry. He ran faster. When we were at the edge of the forest, he wanted to barge in, but the Scouts guarding the forest wouldn't let him. It got so serious that they resided to slicing his Achilles," Krista continued. Thalia sat there listening, her heart beating faster every minute. She hoped Krista couldn't hear it.

"Eren has always been stubborn," Thalia grumbled.

"Finally, the Female Titan called for Eren and he somehow transferred his healing to one foot and stood up. He ran as fast as he could with one foot. Once his other foot was fully healed, Armin said, he did a full out sprint." Thalia knew that if she was a blusher, she would be 50 shades of red about now. "Armin said Eren freed her. Then the smoke signal went off and both Eren and the Female Titan ran towards it together and they took out the titans. They fought amazingly together. After the fight was finished, she ran off," Krista finished. Thalia looked at Krista stunned.

"Wow, sounds like quite an adventure," she said. Krista nodded.

"Eren says he feels connected to her in a way he can't explain, which is why…" Krista trailed off. Erwin told them not to tell a soul about the plan. Krista couldn't even tell Ymir.

"Which is why, what?" Thalia asked.

"Which is why I couldn't sleep, I want to find out who the Female Titan is. She seems to make Eren happy," Krista explained. Thalia nodded and Krista then yawned. "Wow, I'm tired. Might want to get some sleep, the mission continues tomorrow," Krista said getting out of Thalia's bed and she padded over to her own and fell asleep. Thalia did as well, with a serene smile over her features.

So Eren, how do you feel with having someone like Thalia falling in love with you?

Eren: *blushing* I-I don't know…

Armin: Come on Eren, we know you like her

Jean: Don't be so scared

Eren: Shut up Jean!

Levi: What's going on here! Look at this mess! Jaeger, get the mop and dusters!

Eren: Yes sir!

Levi: Stupid brats t- Who the hell are you?

Me: Uh, *salutes* I am the author, Sir!

Levi: The author? Well, hurry up and make another chapter

Me: Yes sir right away! I don't own anything
