Alright I'm back and I reread my whole story just to remember where I was going with it.

Nathan Matheny: Thanks man it's great to know that your still excited for my story. I really think that you are gonna flip with this chapter.

CreatorX-501: It was about time that I got back to this story. And I really want to see your story continued. It's one of the reasons that I actually decided to start writing my own story. It was one of my main influences.

Kaniel Lau: Thank you so much for the encouragement. It means a lot and trust me I'm going to have to take my time with how I'm planning on taking this story.

Eren was leading me through the city in the cold snow. I was lucky enough to grab my winter jacket before he rushed us out of the house. "Eren where are we going?" I asked in between breaths. We were running down the streets now and I was exhausted. Mikasa kept on focusing on her hand intertwined with Eren's. She felt good about it and loved the warmth it brought her.

"Just a little farther." Eren said as we rounded the corner. I finally saw a giant sign that said indoor ice skating. "Oh no you don't think that we will be doing that. Do you?" Mikasa said worriedly. All she got in return was a toothy grin from Eren.

Mikasa was worried. She's never been ice skating but was so sure that it was going to hurt hitting the ice when she falls. Eren brought her up to the front booth and asked for two pairs of skates. The man took Eren's money and asked for their shoe size. After getting their skates did Eren let go of Mikasa's hand. She missed the safety it seemed to promise her.

Eren got his skates on rather quickly before looking at Mikasa struggling to put hers on. "Do you need help with that?" Eren said in a chuckle. Mikasa nodded sheepishly. Eren bent down and help her put them on. "I'm guessing you don't ice skate often?"

"To be honest I've never been." Mikasa said. Eren looked at her disbelief, "But you live so close to it. It's literally a 10 minute walk."

Mikasa blushed and replied, "I was always too scared to go." Eren helped her up. Mikasa fell forward as Eren caught her, stabilizing her. "Don't worry I got you." Mikasa was relieved seeing Eren hold her so gently. They smiled at each other and then Eren said, "You ready." It was more of a statement than a question because before Mikasa could react he took her into the ice rink.

Eren easily went across the rink and came back. Mikasa was amazed at how good at ice skating he was. Eren then held out his hand to me and said, "Alright I'm warmed up. You ready?"

Mikasa looked at him and said,"I don't think I can do that." Eren smiled and simply said, "That's why you have me here to teach you." Before Mikasa could say anything to stop him he dragged her out onto the middle of the rink. Mikasa kept on losing her balance and almost falling if it wasn't for Eren for her to hold on to,

"Just grab my hand we will go slow." Eren said with resurance. Mikasa took his hand blushing. She felt very safe in his arms.

An hour earlier

"Wait, what do you mean Ymir disappeared?" Annie asked one of Ymir's followers. The girl shrank from Annie's death glare. Annie glared at her waiting rather impatiently for an answer.

"She went to the movies with Christa. They've been hanging out a lot more recently." The girl said shyly to the fuming Annie in front of her. Annie got up from the table she was at with the girl and stormed out of the building. They were at the school because they knew no one else would be there during that time. It's been winter break for a week now and for the whole week it felt like Ymir and Christa have been hanging out together all the time.

It's as if Ymir forgot about all her other friends. This bothered Annie so much. Those two have gotten so close and it just feels like Ymir is pushing Annie away. Annie has done so much for Ymir. She was there from the beginning. Where her mom left her to where her rivalry against Mikasa is today. She has even helped in trying to get Eren to…

"Eren…" Annie said with a sudden realization. I've been trying to get Eren for Ymir. All I wanted was her approval but not anymore. If she doesn't think she needs me then she won't need Eren either. Maybe she will remember me again if she sees me with Eren.

Annie has always thought that Eren was cute but she respected Ymir to much to do anything about that but now she realizes what she can do. Her mind was set and she was going to show Ymir that she didn't need her and get Eren for herself.

She was suddenly pulled from her thoughts as she realized where she was. She was so deep in thought that she didn't know that she had walked through the cemetery. The only reason she just now realized where she was, was because that her foot had hit something hard. She grabbed her foot quickly as the pain flooded her body.

"Ow!" she said as she looked at what she hit. It was a tombstone that had a shovel next to it. It looked as if someone had started shoveling the snow off of it but stopped midway. She then read the name on the tombstone.

Carla Jaeger

She gasped as she put a hand to her mouth. There was no way that that name had been related with him. She couldn't believe it it has been so long since she has heard her dad talk about Carla Jaeger. There was no way that this lady has been with Eren Jaeger.

She turned around and ran out of the cemetery. She was overwhelmed with what was running through her head. There just couldn't be anyway that it was connected.

She ran her house. It wasn't that far but to her it felt like forever for her to get to her destination. She really wished that she could fly her way over there or reach their instantly but she was bound by the laws of physics and had to run. She reached her house and ran upstairs to her father's room.

Annie's father was a bartender as of now. Before he was… well something less pleasant. She rummaged through his closet, pulling out all of his old stuff. Including a handgun that Annie quickly put back. She finally found a box and pulled it out. She dusted it off and slowly opened the lid. She was sweating and scared.

Then she finally pulled out something that she was hoping she didn't find. It was a folder that was titled Jaeger. Annie wasn't ignorant to what her dad used to do but that doesn't mean that she was fully aware of what he did in detail. She remembers the conversation her dad had with Ymir's dad about the Ackermans.

Sure she was little but she still remembers parts. Like how they said something about the Jaegers. She just couldn't remember what it was but she knew that they were all connected. She grabbed the folder and took it with her as she ran out of her house after putting away the box in to the closet.

No way could this be Eren's mother and father. That would mean that he's an orphan but that can't be the case. She would have known, right? She's never heard anything about his parents but certainly that's because he just didn't have to talk about them. It couldn't be that they were out of the picture.

Annie was once again pulled from her thoughts as she saw the one thing that she wasn't expecting.

It was Eren… and Mikasa going into a ice skating building. Annie's eyes let up like a fire. She was angry at the sight of Mikasa and Eren being so close together that she totally forgot about the fear of what she had just learned. She started walking towards the entrance of where they had just entered. She entered looking around for the couple.

Her eyes finally rested on the two on the ice. They were holding hands which only enraged her more. She looked through the folder and took out a picture that she was sure would start something. She ran on to the ice ignoring the guy with the uniform yelling at her to put on ice skates and to pay. She didn't care if she slipped or got thrown out, she came for a reason and she was going to accomplish it.

Mikasa felt like her world was complete and felt completely safe in his arms. She felt like nothing could ruin this moment with the guy that she first hated, who had turned into a light at the end of her tunnel.

That all crashed down when she saw a certain blonde running towards them.

"Eren!" came a scream from behind Eren. He was pulled out of his trance with Mikasa to turn around to his name being called. It was someone that he hadn't expect to see and certainly someone that he didn't want to see.

"Annie? What do you want?!" Mikasa said not understanding one of her enemies being here, at this moment, which is supposed to be her and Eren's moment. Annie ran out of breath as she put a hand on Eren. Eren was about to swap her hand off until she handed him a picture.

Eren froze. He took the picture letting go of Mikasa. It was something that he has been seeing in his nightmares for quite some time. Ever since that day.

Eren couldn't breath the world started to spin around him. He heard something just screaming in the back of his mind. He felt like everything was closing in on him. He started to hyperventilate. He was sweating. The scream was getting louder. He couldn't get a hold of himself. His eyes couldn't stop staring at the picture. The picture itself was screaming at him now. The floor was breaking under his feet. Everyone disappeared. He was alone in a dark abyss. The scream was unbearable but he was finally able to understand what it was screaming. Run.

Mikasa was looking at Eren confused at what was happening. Eren looked as if something just broke. She didn't understand what it was that Annie has handed Eren. But before she could ask anything she saw a tear drop from Eren's eyes. Then in a flash, Eren ran out of the rink. He didn't even stop to take off his ice skates. He just left the building without turning back.

"Eren!" Mikasa screamed but it was too late. She then turned her attention to Annie. "What did you do?!"

Annie snapped out of her scared expression and said, "I think I just proved something that I was hoping was wrong." Mikasa was gonna ask what she meant by that but Annie turned around and left too. And once again Mikasa was alone. She didn't know what to do so she settled on following Eren out in hope of finding him. But on her way out she saw the picture that Annie had handed Eren. She was so confused.

"It's just Ymir's dad?"
