I get myself ready to leave, saddling up until Commander Erwin startled me with his hand on my shoulder.
"You won't be needing your horse, we'll be going by carriage." In some ways I felt relieved, I hadn't felt right, I was feeling erky in the stomach.
"Alright." I turn to see the Commander get into the carriage, I step in taking a seat next to Levi, opposite Hange and Erwin.
"How is Eren and that getting to Stohess?"
"They will be using their gear." Hange informed, I remained quiet trying not to look over to Levi. He had worn formal pants and shirt, a suit jacket covering his shoulders, implying he was to take time off. The ride was silent, Hange and I were dropped off around somewhere in Stohess, whilst Erwin and Levi were to go to the courts with the other carriage, which had Jean as Eren.
"Hange, I think we should set up a decoy, just in case."
"You're not wrong there sis, I was thinking the same thing we did in the forest." I nod. Hange and I received help from those who lived within Wall Sina to help set up her weapons. Although Hange is crazy, she's very smart when it comes down to it.
"Did you hear that?" a loud noise had appeared after the striking yellow light flashed.
"She didn't make it down, quick! Everyone on the rooves!" I yell, I had grabbed my gear heading on top of the roof, I could see Annie from a distance.
"This is not happening!" I run in her direction.
"Emirī no!" I leave, I see Mikasa attempting to fight her, leading away from the collapsed building.
"Annie stop this!" I yell, she gives my one look and almost swats me like a fly.
"Mikasa! What's going on?"
"Eren couldn't transform, we have to lead her away!"
"Over here you bitch!" I throw my blade at her slicing a part of her face. I begin running alongside Mikasa, Jean and Armin leading her into our trap.
"Now!" Hange fired her weapons, making her fall to the ground. She glides her way down to face the Female Titan. Hange started interrogating her showing her sword right in her eye. Annie managed to kick the weaponry away, standing up and dashing off.
"She broke free?"
"Damn it! We didn't have enough time to set enough traps! Don't let her get away!" I instantly go after her, as with many others from the Survey Corps that had already been at Stohess District. Out of the corner of my eyes, I see Eren heading for Annie, I get out of his way. They run anywhere and everywhere destroying buildings, possibly taking lives of innocent people. They fight each other, Eren gets defeated by Annie, and somehow Eren takes Annie down yet to be kicked away as she attempts to climb up the wall, until Mikasa slices her fingers, falling.
"It's over Annie, now fall." Mikasa pressed down on her face with her feet. Eren got back up, running towards Annie before ripping off her nape.
"Oh! Oh no! He's going to devour her whole!"
"Eren! Back off!
"Don't do it!" I soar to Eren on the ground, I make a slice in Eren's leg, Annie had turned crystallised, now comatose. Eren and Annie's Titan form began merging.
"Stop it Eren!"
"It's not a good to eat our key evidence! You idiot!" Levi had sliced Eren's nape as he had been free from his Titan form. Levi took Eren to the ground, Mikasa and Armin had made sure he was okay, as Jean stood there yelling at Annie trying to chip the crystal, Levi stops him.
"What did I tell you about getting close without thinking?" Levi glared, instead of being sorrow, I walk away. I look back in shame before continuing to go on.
I was with Hange and Levi in the dungeon of the Survey Corps, we had returned home. Chains covered her, Annie's facial expression looked sad, I could tell she was crying, something must have been dark for her, that she must know about the Titans. For now, Eren has the key to his father's basement.
"There's so many questions I want to ask." Hange sighed, I walked away leaving her and Captain Levi to think. To think Annie was the Female Titan, who could possibly be the Colossus? Or even the Armored Titan? I bring myself to the dining hall, I look over to Bertolt and Reiner; they must know something.
"You guys close to Annie?"
"Well not close, but we all came from the same place."
"Right," I felt intimidated by Reiner "do you think the Armored and the Colossal Titan could be here too?" Bertolt went red as Reiner cocked an eyebrow, something was odd.
"I can't say you're right for sure, I'm not even sure myself, could be anyone." Reiner spoke.
"Did you see them?" Bertolt nodded to my question.
"I remember seeing the Colossal, how huge he was." Bertolt spoke.
"He?"
"Well I didn't see it having breast." Reiner had a smug expression.
"I guess, but I just don't understand, how Annie could do this you know?"
"There's always a reason, Annie had a rough time growing up, no one knows why, but I believe that there's something we don't know." Beyond his quietness, Bertolt was intelligent.
"I guess you're right." I walk off. Something seemed odd, the whole place felt cold and icy. Out on the ledge I sit watching the sunset go down, things weren't right, but I wish they were.
"Hey." Connie came out, this time it was by himself.
"Hey." Connie sits next to me, his body very close to mine.
"I have to tell you Emily, you are very beautiful." I was shocked by his words. Out of all people, Connie Springer had complimented me.
"Thank you." I sigh.
"I wish this world was a better place, that way I could be with you." Connie placed his lips on mine, I backed away straight away.
"Connie, what the hell?" I look over to see Sasha staring with shock, until she ran off with tears in her eyes.
"Sasha wait!" I run after her, but she had slammed her door in my face, "Sasha…"
"Go away!"
"Sasha it wasn't like that!"
"I can't believe you! Leave me alone!" I slide my back down her door.
"Sasha he kissed me…"
"I don't care, you still technically kissed!"
"I'm sorry Sasha." I cry, I don't hear a response.
I stay for hours, falling asleep here and there until Levi came in my direction.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to apologise to my friend Captain."
"What for?"
"It's complicated Captain." I couldn't tell him in front of Sasha's door, she might hear me talk to Levi.
"Brat, get over yourself." He grabbed my wrist dragging me up until we reached my room. My face was damp with tears that had dried.
"What's going on?"
"I was out on the roof, and next thing you know Connie kissed me."
"Springer did what?"
"He-he kissed me." I cover my face, I expected Levi to yell at me, but he removed my hands.
"And Braus must have feelings for him right?"
"I swear I stopped it straight away, I wouldn't do that to her… or you…"
"Don't worry, things will be fine tomorrow."
