Chapter 6: Dead as a doll

(A/N: Okay so for a word of warning, there is some slight attempted rape in this chapter. If this offends you all or makes you uncomfortable in any way, then I truly apologize. And like I said, questions and critiques are welcome!)

When Armin had quietly crept back to Annie's house he had noticed that both of her parent's cars weren't there. "They must be at work" Armin muttered to himself. Walking up the stairs to Annie's room, he had seen that she was still knocked out in bed asleep. 'She's so beautiful.. " He thought making his way over to his owner. Getting ever so curious, he pulled the sheets back for a moment, revealing her topless form underneath.

Armin blushed as he watched her pink nipples perk up at the sudden gush of air hitting them. He didn't know why, but he was getting the sudden urge to suck on them now. Leaning over, he had gave one of her large breasts a little lick. 'She tastes so...good!' He thought licking his lips. Getting on top of the sleeping Annie, the doll latched his mouth onto her left nipple, giving it a little suck.

His hair hung over his face as he attempted to shtuff the entire breast into his mouth. He licked kissed and sucked on it until he took it out his mouth and started doing the same to the other one. His hand trailed down her muscular tummy to her panty covered crotch. He rubbed soft soothing circles there as he continued to suck on her.

God he wanted more of her. Armin soon started to place a trail of soft kisses from her chest, to her collarbone, all the way up to her neck and face. Leaning over, he gave his sleeping beauty a kiss on the cheek, then on the lips. He let his mouth linger there for a moment. The doll didn't care if she was asleep or not, he was enjoying every moment of being able to kiss and feel Annie like this peacefully.

Armin felt Annie squirm a bit and looked at her face to see her still asleep but her cheeks had a faint pink flush to it now. He felt her underwear dampen a bit under his soft dainty fingers. 'She must be getting aroused in her sleep' he thought rubbing her lovingly some more. Removing his lips from hers, he let them roam back down to her breasts.

As he did this, the hand that was massaging her nether regions slowly crept past the waistband of her panties. His eyes widened a bit in surprise when she felt how soft and smooth she was down there.'lovely hardwood floors Annie..'Armin thought blushing. He smiled a bit when he heard a soft moan come from Annie's mouth. He let his hand gently roam around the outside of her Rose for a bit before he heard loud knocks and banging at the door.

Armin quickly stopped what he was doing, got off of Annie and scrambled back into Annie's closet, quickly but quietly shutting the pink double doors behind him. 'Just who is banging on the door like that!?' Armin thought pouting angrily. Sitting in his cozy spot next to , he played dead sitting perfectly still like a good doll. Annie groaned as she woke up and heard the frantic knocking at the front door. "ANNIE! ANNIE WAKE UP!" The familiar voice screamed. 'Is that Mikasa?' Annie wondered. 'What's she doing here?'

She had noticed a rather damp spot on her underwear but ignored it when the frantic knocking grew louder. Slipping on a giant T-shirt, she had scurried over to the door and opened it, revealing a very shaken up, and very frightened Mikasa. In all the years she had seen Mikasa, she had never EVER seen her like this before. Whatever it was that had disturbed her so much it must have been bad. Stepping aside, she let her in the house.

"Mikasa?" Annie started. "What-" "HE'S DEAD!" Mikasa screamed."REINER IS DEAD! HE WAS MURDERED!" Armin's face paled from inside the closet as he overheard this. 'Who is this girl' he wondered. "H-He...Reiner is what?" Annie gasped in disbelief. "Annie..he got beaten to death at the softball field behind the school by this kid! I couldn't see his face that good because he was wearing a hood, but he looked like he was around our age"

"No ..you're lying...Reiner isn't dead...he CAN'T BE !" Annie replied shaking. "It isn't true.." She cried "It isn't true!" Her entire body felt cold now and she wouldn't stop shaking. She just SAW him last night! He was perfectly fine and now he's dead?! There was no way Mikasa would have bothered to come all the way over here just to pull her leg. She had to be telling the truth.

"Show me" Annie said quietly. Mikasa nodded and told Annie to get dressed. Annie quietly walked silently to her room with tears running down her face as she made her way to her dresser and slipped on some grey sweat pants and a hoodie. "A-Annie?" Armin asked poking his blonde head out of the closet. "What's the matter? " Annie turned her gaze to her beloved doll,her eyes red and wet with tears. "Armin I- I'm sorry but I have to go" and with that she walked out the door before the doll could say anything else.

Armin was now alone inside the closet pale as ever. That pretty girl with the black hair saw him? He thought for sure that he was alone!Even though he made sure his face was concealed she still saw too much. As much as he didn't want to, it looked like he was going to have to do something about Mikasa. What, he wasn't sure, but he knew that something had to be done before she started to suspect anything else.

It didn't take long for Annie and Mikasa to Arrive at the empty high school and everything appeared fine at first glance, but when they made it towards the softball field it was an entirely different story. The entire area was surrounded in "Do Not Enter" tape preventing anyone from entering. police hounds were sniffing around for any trace of evidence while a couple of policemen were talking and examining what appeared to be a body near the bleachers.

"Oh my God..." Annie said in disbelief. She truly didn't want to, but she had to know for sure if Reiner was truly dead or not. Willing herself to move forward, she stepped closer to the crime scene before her. It truly was a grim one at that. Whoever this person was, his face was covered up with a blood soaked tarp, preventing anyone from seeing it while his body laid still and sprawled out on the ground. His big buff build, and visible short blonde hair however, was all Annie needed to see.

"No.." Annie whispered. Her body grew cold as tears ran down her face. This couldn't be happening! It can't be happening! The platinum blonde's body racked with small sobs as the whole gruesome reality of the situation sunk into her head. Reiner's battered corpse laid in front of her dead and there was no bringing him back. One of the cops, a short but attractive raven haired male walked up to the two ladies with a tall handsome blonde cop tailing right behind him.

"I'm sorry ladies, but I'm afraid you can't be here" the dark haired cop said. "Christ Levi I'm your cousin for God's sake, I think I'm strong enough to atleast see what's going on, and after all I was the one who called you and officer Smith over here" Mikasa replied darkly. "Annie.." She said gesturing to the silent girl next to her. "She wanted to see for herself if it was her boyfriend who got killed" Levi's expression then softened a bit as he turned his gaze to Annie.

"A-Annie was it?" He asked her. Annie could only nod her head in response. "Shit.." He muttered quietly as a more sympathetic look spread across his sharp features. He then turned his head to his partner, officer Erwin Smith. "Let me see that wallet again for a moment?' Levi asked quietly. Erwin nodded and handed over some of the evidence they had gathered. " we can't show you his face but we had found this on his person" Erwin said pulling out a wallet with a photo I.D of Reiner and showing it to the two girls.

"Does he look familiar to either of you?" He asked. Mikasa and Annie both solemnly nodded their heads confirming Reiner's identity. "Another thing" Levi said reaching in his uniform pocket. " I think..this was meant to be given to you" pulling out a black little case he handed it over to Annie. Annie carefully took the little box and opened it, revealing a beautiful silver necklace with Her name engraved on it in cursive. More tears welled up in Annie's eyes as she ran her fingers over it.

"Forgive me miss but we're going to have to question you for a moment" Erwin spoke up quietly. "Standard procedure" after a few minutes of asking if there was anyone who might've had any grudges against him or may have wanted to hurt him they had allowed the two girls to go. "Thank you Levi..for coming out here" Mikasa said before leaving. "No problem" Levi replied. He looked at Reiner's corpse then back to Mikasa. "I'd be careful if I were you when going out by yourself, there is definitely some sick as hell bastard creeping around out here" He warned. "Whoever did this to him ended up fucking his face up really bad"

Mikasa nodded and then walked Annie home. Once they were there she walked Annie to her room to make sure that she would be okay. " Annie...will you be alright?" Mikasa asked. Annie was silent for a moment but managed to croak out a small yes. "I'll be fine.." Annie replied. " okay, well if there's anything you need, just let me..." Her voice trailed off when her gaze shifted to Annie's closet. One of the closet doors were open, revealing Armin sitting limp and motionless with his eyes closed.

Mikasa vaguely remembered seeing this doll for the first time a very long time ago when she was little. It was around the time her and Annie was in third grade, and every Friday everyone in the class had to bring something in for show and tell for a grade. Annie had somehow managed to bring Armin in for her show and tell and needless to say she got an A+ that day. Most of the girls wanted him as their doll, while most of the boys in class was a bit creeped out by him. Everyone kept asking Annie if they could brush his hair or play with him.

Mikasa eyed Armin some more taking in his current appearance. It wasn't really the doll itself that was starting to unnerve her, more like what he was wearing. Aside from the fact that his hood was down and showing his face, it looked like the exact same outfit the killer wore when he beat Reiner to death. 'But that's impossible...' Mikasa thought 'A doll can't just get up and kill anyone, that only happens in movies' turning her attention back to Annie, she had stayed with her for a little while longer and until she heard Annie speak up." Thank you..for comforting me Mikasa..but i think I would like to be alone now" Mikasa nodded in understanding and left. Annie needed some time to grieve after all.

A moment after she heard Mikasa leave and shut the front door, she slowly made her way over to Armin and knelt down in front of him. Reaching a hand behind his back she winded up his silver key and waited for him to turn on. A minute later he sat up and opened his eyes, surprised to see Annie sitting there in front of him with tears running out of her eyes. Her body was shaking and she was very pale, Almost as pale as he was. "Annie?" Armin asked wiping a tear from her face." Why are you crying? " he asked .

"A-armin..." Annie whimpered "R-Reiner..he.." Annie couldn't even speak. Crawling into the closet with Armin, she curled up next to him and broke down into heavy sobs right then and there crying into his hoodie. Armin wrapped his arms around the girl tightly bringing her closer into his lap and patting her back."shhhh it's okay Annie, I'm here" he said rubbing soft circles into her back ." please stay with me Armin, please don't leave me alone right now" she sobbed.

"It's okay Annie, it's okay" he cooed running his hands through her hair. "I'll always be here to protect you" he said holding Annie. "Always.." He replied. A small sick smile formed on his face as he felt Annie's arms wrap around him tightly as if she was afraid he would disappear somewhere. He breathed in her scent as she cried herself to sleep in his arms. Kissing her on top of her forehead, he dozed off to sleep with her.

(A/N: wow...Armin you are a sick sick little puppy... And oh Annie if only you knew..well that's it for chapter 6 stay tuned for chapter 7!)
