Blades Of Love
Chapter 12- Annie
After telling the story of how I made it back I was awarded with smiles and tears of joy. It was strange how everyone had a thought of me dying so easily. I was not going down like that and I promised myself that.
I had filled myself with food everyone had bid each other farewell we had scattered as we made our way back to our rooms. Waiting at my door was a figure, Mike?
"Excuse me Mikasa Ackerman the Commander has called for you." I nodded my body had felt slightly exhausted but I'm sure it wouldn't be long if it's a conversation about everything I am sure to thought he would let me get sleep tonight unless it is important.
When I had gotten into the office only Commander Erwin and Mike were there, I had straighten my position looking at them.
"Mikasa, I am very glad to have you back and alive." I held my lips into a tight smile, I had seen the book on top of Commander Erwin's desk placed on the corner of it.
"If you had not noticed Annie Leonheart has transferred to the M.P." I raised an eyebrow, Jean had not mentioned anything about that to me.
"It was right after the expedition she only transferred. We had gotten an idea of who might be the female Titan." I clenched my fists dropping my composure.
"Tell me, So I can kill her myself." My fingers clenching the ends of his desk crushing it within my fingers. I gritted my teeth looking at him, He understood my pain I felt.
"She was right under our noses, No wonder she had knew of the position Eren and had tried to escape with him." It had to be someone in the regiment but who?
"It was Annie Leonheart." He looked at me with calculating eyes, He was joking right. That means she kill most of the Scouts that had trained us, I mentally had a bitter laugh. Oh well so be it I have a reason to kill her.
"Right under our noses." I muttered, I stared at him. I planned to avenge the fallen ones who died by the person they are suppose to trust.
"We have a plan on to prove if she truly is the Titan." I hated to admit it but he was right, I shouldn't kill her because I simply want to.
"If you managed to get her underground with Eren and Armin she won't be able to transform and than only we will be able to kill her."
"Seems like you almost got as good at me." Captain Levi hummed he sat on a chair with tea in his head his clutches resting on the ground.
Today was a day off training for everyone expect Captain had ordered me to train instead of resting, By now my body had gotten use to the exercises he had given me within the weeks.
"So, Ackerman want to tell me why you kissed me and whispered sweet loving words." I froze my brain causing the sudden thoughts to flash in my eyes.
"I love you, Heichou."
I blushed lightly trying to brush the feeling off and deny it. "I-I don't know what your talking about." I brushed the sweat above my brow, thought it was a day off Scouts seemed to be around the area talking with there friends.
"Bullshit, You think I didn't hear that." He rested his hand under his chin looking at me crumble to pieces. "I-I didn't." I looked to the ground digging the tip of my boot into it, Blushing I didn't dare look into his sharp eyes.
"Ackerman you truly are an exotic creature." He bit his lip looking at me with a slight smirk, "am I dismissed?" He titled his head looking at me. "Should I?" I rested an arm underneath my breast squeezing it close to me. I was trying to find a way out.
"Your dismissed." I walked away fast heading toward my room, I could feel Levi's eyes glued to me as I escaped quickly.
I made it to my room sitting on the bed I sighed, last night Commander Erwin had discussed about Annie and how the plan had to go to prove she is in fact the female Titan.
Where we have to get Eren to try and get Annie underground since she won't be able to transform into a Titan and would be under a disadvantage, If not Eren would have to fight her and be successful this time.
"Hey," Sasha said as she poked her head through the door. I sighed laying my back against my white sheets. "Tired?" She asked with a light laugh looking at me as she walked further into the room sitting on the corner of my bed.
"Yes and no." She raised any eyebrow looking at me, I laid my hand over my forehead what am I gonna do?
"Care to explain?" I licked my lips.
"It's hard enough to know I love three people." She froze, Suddenly she jumped happily up and down looking at me.
"One is Jean you can't forget Eren but who is the last one. . .?" I bit my lip looking at her, She wasn't going to believe this.
"Levi." She froze, Her mouth opened largely the drops of her saliva dripping on to her pants. "Seriously. Your into sadistic short people." She gave me a blank look.
I blushed lightly, Though he may be short and very rough at times. It was something about him that I couldn't stop thinking about whenever I was alone.
"God, Mikasa you truly got yourself in a mix." She sighed laying beside me our eyes focused on the grey wall above us.
"I know." I sighed dreamily.
"Well, I can't tell you who to be with but only you can decide. When desperate times comes the one you love will truly be there for you." She spoke softly.
"Your one to talk, How are you and Connie?" She blushed, her figure scrambled up as she looked at me with a flushed face. "I-It's not like." She claimed softly trying to hid her trembling voice.
"I-I don't know how to tell him." I gave her a hard look, She was playing me like she thought I wouldn't know. "Oh your dating him already?" I laughed as I got up.
"W-What! H-How do you know that." She narrowed her eyes at me, I smirked at her. "You just told me." I laughed as she groaned looking at me.
"Don't tell anyone." I nodded running a finger over my lips promising to not say a thing.
Later that day all the Scouts had met in the mess hall, We were going over the plans for tomorrow, Pixis had agreed to this, The idea was to have Eren escorted into the inner walls, But Jean would be Eren while Armin convinces Annie to come met him and Eren.
Of course I am with them but I will be covering my face from her seeing me.
If she comes underground we will be able to take her down, If not Eren is going to have to fight her. I will be there in case I am needed since I am capable of protecting me and Armin along with Eren. Hopefully everything will go planned as we think it will and I don't need to kill Annie.
I rested my hand underneath my chin looking at Ymir and Krista, They held each other tightly. Looks like there going out. I made my out the mess hall before walking outside I had noticed a older woman looking around.
She was confused on which direction to go and looked around hastily. "Excuse me," I said as I made my way to her, She smiled broadly looking over to me, She held a basket of apples. She probably is visting someone from the regiement.
"I am sorry to bother you young woman but do you know where my son Jean is?" I smiled looking at her, "in fact I do. I am one of his friends, Mikasa Ackerman it is a pleasure to meet you." She gasped lightly cupping her mouth before looking at me.
"No wonder, You are more beautiful in person." I smiled lightly taking the basket from her fingers holding it, "I will hold this for you." She laughed lightly brushing the strands that dangled from her eyes.
"Not only beautiful but also kind." I smiled, Jean was beyond lucky to have her as his mother, Her eyes were a bright brown a dazzling color to stare at all night. Jean no doubt inherited it from her.
I opened the door for into the mess hall, She passed countless Scouts who were indulged into there conversations. Going to the back of the room I seen Jean he had sit with Reiner, Eren and Armin along with Bertolt.
"This way ma'am." She followed into my steps, I stopped at the front of the table causing Armin to look up with a curious glance, "who's this?" I gently pushed Jean's mom in front into his view.
"Jean." The two toned haired boy looked up, His eyes widened as he locked eyes with his mom. "Mom." He wrapped his arms tightly around her, The tears evident in her brown eyes.
I smiled at the small reunion, I could only imagine the thoughts she had when she had received the letter for when regiment her son had chosen and after going on the recent expedition.
I had sat on the table with the boys, Jean had taken his mom away. I had forgotten about the basket and had left it on the table, Soon everyone had grabbed an apple eating it. Was it for something important? I hope not cause there all gone.
I had held the basket as I made my way to my room, walking outside I had looked for Jean or his mom I had caught sight of him standing with his mother they looked like to be having a lot of fun, Catching up after all the time that had been gone.
"Excuse me," I said shyly she looked towards me smiling lightly.
"Hello again dear." I held the basket up, My fingers wrapped around the handle. She smiled taking it in her hand, "uh everyone had already eaten before I could stop them."
"I had brought them for that reason." She turned to Jean one last time, She hugged him tightly before gently kissing his cheek.
"I will be back again." Jean smiled lovingly at his mother, "come back as quick as you can." He yelled as she started to walk away, She had been escorted by a few Garrison back out to her home.
"It's good you treat your mother right?" He raised an eyebrow as he looked at me, I smiled dearly at him.
"You have something other people don't have." I claimed softly before leaving him to understand my soft words.
I made my way back to my room the moonlight dancing through the creaks of my window, The cold soft breeze blowing against the white curtains. I had took a warm shower and made my way into bed, I had wore a large shirt I had gotten due to Commander Erwin had extra shirts I gratefully took it.
I laid against the bed covering myself with the sheets as I dug my head deeper into my pillow. I had fallen asleep my dreams consenting of my childhood.
"Everyone has the plan set." Captain Levi reminded everyone I nodded as I made my way with Eren and Armin. It turned out that Jean was dressed as Eren during for this mission.
Captain Levi was going with Commander Erwin, His leg was fine now he was able to be more active with his gear but he was going with Commander Erwin who was going to escort Eren(Jean) while we tried to take out Annie or expose her.
Annie had met us here her blond hair tied back like usual, Her light blue eyes looked bored as always, I had my face covered in a mask disguising my face mostly.
"Come on Annie." Armin looked back his eyes was wide was this the moment were we exposed her? I felt my breath caught in my throat her started to burst out laughing her eyes filled with pure deadly vibe.
"Why aren't you coming?" Eren asked his voice trembling, His green eyes challenging hers.
"Oh dear Armin, It's strange to think a single person has not been in this area. But Armin I am glad that I could have been a good person to you." She smiled with a evil glint.
"Eren. . .Armin." I watched her face glowed with a deadly glow, She raised her finger to her mouth to cut herself, Armin had shot the black flare with quickness, The people who had hid as the civilians ran out and gripped her body holding it back.
She smirked looking down at us, I gritted my teeth I grabbed the back of Eren's and Armin's hood with all my strength I threw them, "Mikasa!" Eren reached out to grab me but missed as I leaned back, Hearing the loud explosion.
I turned around as I watched Annie turn into her Titan form my breath became very hast, I jumped down the flight of stairs my feet touching the ground my hand touched the ground I lifted myself propelling my body as I flipped over, I watched the muscled arm reach for me.
"Mikasa!" Armin shouted, Eren gritted his teeth gripping my shoulders he clenched them glaring me in the eye.
"Don't. You. Ever. Do. That."
"Did plan A fail?" Two other Scouts asked all a sudden without a warning I watched the two men crushed underneath the foot of Annie's Titan form. I glared at her foot she would try and kill us like this. .Hell I was going to kill her.
"Eren you need to transform." Armin demanded his fists clenched at the sight of the fallen Scouts my heart clenched as I watched Eren bit into his hand I walked towards him, The blood decorating the floor. Tear flooded his eyes.
"We can't stay here forever." Armin muttered I nodded getting on to my knees I held his bloody hands into mine, Smiling at him I watched him become more feared of what I was thinking of doing.
"We have to keep her distracted until you can transform." Armin nodded, I sighed running a hand through my hair.
"Something is wrong you have to many things on your mind about everything. Until you clear you mind I will be out there." Eren body froze his lips quivering.
"N-No! Y-You can't! Annie knows the techniques of all of us." I titled my head smiling my bangs dropping into my eyes, I ran a hand gently through his hair. Armin had turned around giving us privacy, I leaned my head against his.
"I will and I can. She is strong but I had taken her down before and I will again." His cold fingers touched my cheek at that moment it felt like we parting forever. I leaned into the comforting touch of his hand enjoying the feeling.
"P-Please, I-No." He cradled my cheek, I felt the moment I held his cheek in my hand as my lips touched his they were gently and lingering feeling. He gripped my clothing th tears crawling down his cheeks.
I pulled away brushing the tears, "don't worry it will all be done before you know it." I gotten up, I was smiling at him brushing the hair from his eyes.
"Armin." He turned towards me, I nodded. I looked down to Eren who cradled my hand dearly. I tugged it away and made my way to the other opening.
"Mikasa! Please, d-don't go!" He shouted his voice sounding merciful. I clenched my jacket my heart thumping with need to comfort him
"I'm sorry, Eren."
Awwww. . .Mikasa is protecting Eren but is thinking the worst.
Captain Levi is really into being a sadistic person. .Well I think we guessed that.
Jean is well a mama's boy expect in the OVA episode he wasn't.
Well hope you enjoyed until than.
