Annie woke up a weak later to the same routine, not being treated fairly, the chain that connected her collar to the wall so short that she couldn't stand, a loaf of bread that she had to make last for a week, water was given to her but not clean, she wasn't aloud to get up, the store owner who had possesion over her for the time being brought friends, just because they wanted to see a titan. His friends would sometimes bring their children, to warn them about titans. Annie never spoke, she rarely made eye contact with anyone and would just sit, hugging her knees to her chest and resting her head on them. She was never brought a blanket or anything warm. She just sat there. Waiting. Waiting. Annie had given up all hope in humanity. Staying down here broke her spirit.
Waiting.
Waiting.
That's what she did, waited for Eren to bring her home, fix everything, keep her company, and ease the perpetual pain and greif knawing away at her. She sat in pain, she didn't know if she was going to be killed.
Blood.
Pain.
Blades.
Those were all running through her head. The searing pain that went through Annie time to time was happening now, but she kept her mouth shut, she ignored her pain, and her eyes kept dull. The feisty sparkle in her eyes were drained away and replaced by depression and darkness.
Murder.
Murder flashed through her mind. Mostly the murder she had commited. Death.
Death ran through her head, her baby's death, the death that was in the palms of her hands, the death she might reach. "So that's the titan eh?" asked an unfamiliar voice. "Yeah, that's her." the store clerk agreed. They stopped infront of her and she didn't look up. Annie's heart stopped for a moment, the man had never come this close. She didn't show the fear in her eyes, she just closed them and sighed. "Does the titan talk?" the unfamiliar asked. "Yeah, but I think staying down here broke her spirit. She sure put up afight though to get that collar over her head." the owner replied, laughing. They both laughed. "Well Annie, do you talk?" the unfamiliar asked. "Answer me." he commaded. Annie didn't open her eyes. 'This can't be how it ends.'
"Here, this will start her up." the store owner told the unfamiliar, Annie didn't here. "What about your baby, aren't you excited to see her?" the store owner mocked, just so that she would talk. "Shut up!" she yelled at them. The unfamiliar took a step back, surprised."How much would you sell her for?" the unfamiliar asked.
'Sell me?' "Depends on how much you offer." the unfamiliar thought. "One thousand." he finally spoke. "Well, I'd excpet but to own a titan around here is the cat's ass. So I'd rather keep her." the store owner replied. After a while the unfamiliar went away. "Now that I finally got you to speak, how are you?" Annie didn't answer, he sounded like he was mocking her. Annie's eyes were still dull, the hints of rage finally drained away. "Answer me dammit!" he yelled at her. "Cold, so cold." she murmured. Annie woke the next morning, it was dark. 'S-So cold.'
Annie still didn't understand, what was wrong with her? She won in court. Annie heard two men walking down the basement steps and saw that one of them was Eren. Eren had come to bring Annie home.
