Hello, we continue our fucked up story with another Rape Trigger Warning. Please remember that if it triggers you, do not read. Also, the act itself is not described, but the direct aftermath will be. You have been warned.
Alice's POV
It was awful just sitting in my room. I couldn't do much of anything. I went through the notes I had in my room, because I always make sure I have copies, and tried to look at them from different angles to try to figure anything else out. And I meant different angles. I would literally tilt the page, or change my position. I laid on my bed with my head hanging off once. When I wasn't doing that, I was cleaning what I could or doing physical muscle training and yoga. Sasha brought me my food and would tell me what had been happening. And everything was generally okay for a few days, minus my need for social interaction. A few hours a day with Sasha was not enough.
The social interaction I got a couple days later was not the kind I needed. I had been cleaning the room, when I heard my door open. I turned, confused since Sasha wasn't supposed to be bringing me my lunch for a few more hours. What I saw, was a Military Policemen. I froze. I didn't remember seeing him at the meeting. He smiled when he noticed I saw him.
"Hello, Cadet Zoe, am I correct?" He asked, taking a step forward as I stepped back. "I'm here on a request from one of the higher ups, not as high as Commander Nile, but pretty important. I'm sure you can understand that this is something I have to do." He pulled a small bag out of his back pocket that jingled slightly. "I'll give you everything in this bag, if you can give us any information that would say that the titan kid is unstable and needs to be taken out." I froze as I just stared at him. This man apparently wasn't updated on mine and Eren's relationship status. "I'd ask Squad Leader Zoe, but they won't take a bribe. I'm hoping you can understand." He jingled the bag again. I just slowly shook my head, making him cock an eyebrow.
"No? Cadet, this is a good sum of money you're turning down. A simple written statement saying that the titan shifter is unstable and this is yours." I shook my head again. The man's face changed then, from slight confusion to rage. "Listen here, I need to get this done, so you can either do it willingly, or I can force you to do it." I shook slightly, but shook my head once again. He growled, dropping the money and coming at me. I tried to dash around him, but he still got ahold of me. In the struggle to get him off me, we fell onto my bed, him pinning me down, and my entire body locked up as my mind went blank.
When I came too, the man was on the floor, holding his gut and Hange was next to me, careful not to touch me, worry clear in their eyes. Erwin and Nile were outside in the hallway, in a heated debate while Levi was glaring at the man on the floor.
"Alice... are you okay?" Hange asked carefully. I opened my mouth and found it was dry, that I was cold, and my legs hurt. When I looked down, I noticed I was naked, clothing torn off, and bruises on my legs in the shape of hands. When what had actually happened clicked in my head, I began breathing hard and crying, hyperventilation was next.
"Alice, Alice honey listen to me. His punishment is being determined as we speak, you don't have to testify if you don't want to, we can move you to a different room if you need to. Just breath for me." Hange said, but I couldn't hear them, I felt filthy, I felt violated.
"Where the fuck is she?" I heard after a few minutes. My mind wasn't sure what was going on, but the rest of me did.
"Eren!" I cried out, the first actual word I spoke since coming too. He was pushing past Nile and Erwin and was by my side in seconds, rage and worry flashing through his eyes. He looked like he wanted to touch me, hold me or my hands, but conflicted. He wasn't sure how to help, he'd never been in this situation before, wasn't sure how to make it better or worse. My body moved on it's own though, pulling him to me as I buried my face into his chest and wailed.
Eren was obviously confused, but slowly moved, like I was a frightened animal, which wasn't far from the truth. He wrapped his arms around me and made shushing noises saying 'I'm here now I'm here now. I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise' and rocking me slightly. As I calmed down, his grip on me tightened. As soon as I had stopped crying Eren turned to Hange.
"What now?" He asked carefully, mindlessly rubbing my back, careful to avoid my lower half. Hange sighed as they stood, crossing their arms.
"I need to check her out, see what damage has been done. Then we wait, see what Alice wants to do. She'll be on medical leave for a while. She has a lot of healing to do, physically and mentally. I don't know how bad this will mess with her head." Hange said, gently petting my head. "I'll need to take a sample of the... fluids. After that we can clean her up." Eren nodded slowly before looking down at me.
"D-Do you think you can walk?" I shook my head as I felt the pain in my hips as I tried to move. Eren looked at me before sighing. "Hange, can you take care of her for a second, I need to do something." He turned back to me and gently grabbed my wrists. "I'm not leaving the room Alice, I'll be right back." I nodded as he went over to Sasha's bed, grabbed her blanket, and came back, handing it to Hange as he took his jacket off. He then looked at me again.
"Alice, is it okay if I..." He motioned to what was left of my clothes, afraid he might say something that would trigger another meltdown. I nodded again as Eren slowly began to remove what remained of my clothing before quickly wrapping me in Sasha's blanket and placing his jacket on my shoulders. "Can I carry you?" He asked again. I just nodded as Eren picked me up bridal style, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Come with me." Hange said, and they lead Eren and I to their office. They cleared off a table and had Eren place me there, telling him not to leave my side. As Hange did what they needed to, they asked what happened. I answered up to when I blanked out. Hange nodded then.
"Your mind shutdown to protect you, but the fear froze your body so it couldn't react to actually protect you." Hange sat back. "I can't really tell you the damage yet, we need to get you clean." Hange said, looking at me seriously. "Who do you want to help you bathe?" I clung to Eren and Hange sighed. "Alice, I don't think-"
"Not to bathe." I said, voice a little better since Hange had gotten me water. "Just there." Hange looked to Eren, face completely serious.
"Are you okay with that Eren? Alice may want you there, but what you want is important to, and there is a high possibility of seeing Alice's intimate parts in a less that ideal setting, in a less than ideal state." Eren looked between Hange and myself.
"You don't have to." I said, mind a little more my own. "I would just feel a little better if you were there." Eren gulped, then nodded.
"I-I'll go with you. I want to support you." Eren said, seemingly more to himself to reassure himself he would do this. Hange smiled lightly.
"Alright. Let's get you to Levi's bathroom." Once we had entered Levi's room, the shorter man was already there, bath ready and cloth in hand.
"So she invited you to come as well?" Levi asked Eren, before turning to me. "Hand her here." Levi said as he stepped forward, arms out. I was passed to Levi and clung to him. "I was really hoping I'd never need to do this again." He said as he brought me in and put me on the side of the bath. "Do you remember what to do?" I nodded slowly as Hange and Eren walked in, closing the door behind them. "If at any time you're uncomfortable-"
"State it." I said, taking a deep breath before spreading my legs, allowing Levi to clean me with the cloth. I saw Eren in the corner, blushing, but glaring at Levi at the same time.
"Why is the Corporal cleaning you Alice?" Eren asked, voice a little irritated. I swallowed briefly before speaking.
"He did so when I was little, the first time that happened. I would rub myself raw and bleeding, and Hange isn't the most gentle, and Erwin feels uncomfortable doing it, so Levi's the only option I really have left."
"So unless you want to be cleaning some sick fucks fluid out of your girlfriend's lady bits, shut the fuck up and let me work." Levi snapped, glaring as he worked. "That mother fucker's glad Erwin held me back, I was about to fucking kill him." Levi paused for a second. "Remind me to give your roommate extras at dinner tonight." I blinked down at Levi.
"Sasha? Why?" I asked. Hange smiled.
"She's the one that found you and ripped that asshole off you. She had kicked him in the groin a few times and was down right promising him death at the top of her lungs when Levi, Erwin, and I came to your room." Hange explained.
"Erwin went and got Dok, brought him and started yelling at him to learn to control his men, I had found the money on the floor with their factions insignia on it, and that started another discussion. Sasha didn't stay, said she had to go find Eren." Levi continued.
"Yeah, she was literally screaming, crying when she found me with Mikasa and Armin, telling me I had to hurry to your room because something awful had happened. Mikasa said that Erwin, Hange, and Levi should be enough to deal with it, then she punched Mikasa in the face, and then told me what had happened. I think they're still fighting." Their was a soft knock on the door after Eren finished speaking.
"Alice? It's Sasha, are you okay?"
"There's not enough room for a fifth person unless you're climbing in the fucking tub." Levi snapped.
"I will!" Hange said, taking their boots off, rolling up their pant legs, and climbing into the tub, standing happily as they invited Sasha in. Levi groaned.
"My fucking bathroom has become a damn brat center." He said as he finally leaned back. "I'm done. Switch places with foureyes so that we can finish washing you up."
"Alice..." Sasha asked gently as she watched me. She looked so upset. I gave her a smile.
"Thank you Sasha. For all you've done for me today." She smiled back as tears ran down her face, running towards me and hugging me, gently pushing Hange and Levi to the side.
"I will never let those fuckers touch you ever again." She cried, afterwards grabbing a cloth and washing my skin. "I'll kill them next time." She said firmly. Eren growled then.
"Not if I do first." He said firmly. I looked at him and smiled softly.
"Still don't know if you can shift because of rage, calm down a little."
"No!" He barked as Levi and Hange shuffled out of the bathroom, watching from the doorway as Eren came closer and kneeled next to me. "They fucking touched you! They had the nerve to enter your bedroom and try to bribe you, and when that didn't work, did this." Eren motioned to a bruise on my waist. He then grabbed my face, angry tears in his eyes. "No one should touch you like that. Ever. Not only that, but I broke my promise that I wouldn't let them touch you." Eren shook a little as he continued to stare into my eyes.
"Eren." I said, about to move, but Eren did, pulling me into a kiss. It was hungry, but it didn't scare me. But I still gently pushed him back, and he did so, backing off completely before he looked at me with wide eyes, quickly burying his face in his hands.
"Oh my Walls, I can't believe I did that after what happened. Alice I-"
"Was acting in a possessive fit of rage." I said, still smiling softly. "I don't blame you, and you didn't upset me." I glared at the other three in the room. "I will repeat myself, he didn't upset me. I am fine, for the most part. Eren has every right to kiss me. Now let's finish cleaning me up and get me some food. I'm fucking starving and Hange still needs to check the damage." And so Sasha and Hange washed me up while Levi sassed Eren anyways.
I want to apologize for how my Trigger Warning at the beginning was phrased. It's just, everything was so dark (on accident, there's something wrong with me I swear) and for some reason, I decided to phrase my warning like that. If it upset you, I would like to apologize. I'm not trying to make light of the situation that took place in this chapter. It's a horrible action that should never happen and those who force others to do things for their sick, twisted pleasure should be the people we're testing our experimental medical practices, medications, beauty produces, etc. So please understand where I stand on this matter, and that I am not trying to make light of it in any way, shape or form.
