Armin's POV -
12:16pm - Arlert's Crib
I quietly peeked through my room's front curtains, I made sure that none of them will notice me. I sighed and closed it afterwards, "Guys, we can't go down in this window." I told them. There are like six of them down there and it's too dangerous. We need to get away from here quietly.
"What about your grandfather's room window?" Mikasa asked me. Looks like she just came back from our kitchen where she took some weapons for us to use. So overall, we collected 8 usable weapons. My father's gun,2 kitchen knife, baseball bat and 4 darts. The only problem is my gun don't have bullets in it. We can't find them anyways .
"Alright, let's try the window there." I nodded my head as I agreed with my Asian best friend. We went try grandfather's room which is just right in front of my room. Something inside of me ached as I felt like tearing up, where is my grandfather right now? Is he even alive? What about auntie Carla and uncle Grisha? Are we even gonna survive? What the heck are those things anyways.
My thoughts were interrupted when Mikasa gripped me by the shoulder, I winced in pain. She didn't really intentionally hurt me, maybe she just wants me to snap out of it. She's really sharp. "It's clear here." I heard my brunette best friend, Eren said as cooed us to take a look. Mikasa and I went near him, I looked at them straight in the eye, "This...this...this is it, guys. It's now or never." I whispered as my whole body trembled in fear and nervousness.
I gulped and took the chain of blankets from my friend's grasped and tied it to my grandfather's canopy bed. "You sure it can support our weight? It looks so old." Mikasa asked me with a shrug. I nodded at her, "Yes, it's made of a hundred year old sturdy tree." I replied as I tied the blankets in there securely.
"I should go first, I'm the heaviest." Mikasa raised her hand as she stared down the ground. "No way!" Eren took her arm and angrily yelled at her. Oh snap! That was close, they almost heard him. I silently hoped that they wouldn't fight now, the last thing I need is a bickering Eren and Mikasa. "Guys, please...don't fight." I beg them desperately.
The two of them looked at me and then sighed, Eren tapped Mikasa's back and looked at her seriously, "Please Mikasa. At least this once let me be a man alright?" his voice almost sound desperate. Eren...he cares about Mikasa so much, sometimes it makes me wonder if it's because she's part of his family or because he has special feelings for her? But I know that this is not the right time to talk about romantic feelings.
Mikasa had a surprised look on her face, it's likes he don't expect to hear these things from Eren. "A-alright. Be careful Eren." she smiled softly before squeezing the hand that was resting on her shoulder wihich belonged to my other best friend Eren. Shameless married couple. I mean, this is not the right time for this guys! "Don't worry, I doubt that these infected people will realize we're escaping from them. Let's just avoid making too much noise." I reminded them.
Mikasa and I then helped and guided Eren as he went down the chained blanket. He was carrying one bag behind him and me and Mikasa also have our own. Inside each of our bags are supplies that are very necessary for surviving this virus outbreak. Mikasa quickly followed quietly and I went down last. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I gave a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it managed to support our weights.
But we shouldn't be rejoicing just yet. Actually we should be crying right now,heck were done here! We're literally in hell! Cannibals are almost everywhere! "Guys, let's be quite..." I said to them in a hushed tone, I can feel my whole body tremble and my voice stutters every now and then. But it know at least this much, now is the worst time to be panicking and crying, how can we save out love ones if we're scared ourselves? Grandpa I hope you're alright...you're my only family left...
The Shiganshina mall is pretty far away from our home. Estimated, if we walk towards there we'll reach it until 2 days from now. Of course considering because we have to sneak in and keep quiet. "Eren, Miaksa... let's go." I nodded at them as I felt determination filled our eyes. I was about to walk when I felt Mikasa pulled me back to her. She glared at me and said, "Armin...weapons remember?" she said quietly as she gave me a kitchen's knife. I gulped but gripped it tighter as my hand trembled and started sweating. I'm gonna kill someone. I'm gonna kill someone!
I looked at my two best friends and they looked at each other and at me. "...We have to. We have no choice." Eren muttered as he walked in front of us
Somenody please. Help us!
Sasha's POV
1:09pm - Shiganshina Neighborhood
"Jean. I think they're going away." I muttered as I sighed and looked at the man beside me. Currently were inside the car from earlier. Weve been here for hours. Jean has finally calmed down and I explained to him the current situation we're in. Why now of all time? I'm here in Shiganshina to enroll in a high school and yet.
When I was on my way to Shiganshina High School to submit my form suddenly an old guy stumbled in front of me. Of course upon instinct, I tried to help him. When he was about to grab my hand he looked at me, heck! I was so surprised! The skin that's supposed to be hiding his teeth is gone! His skin is freaking open! I screamed then shoved the old guy away. Then he advanced towards me and I ran away, I stumbled into an archery store.
The store was empty yet the lights were on. That was when I noticed there are blood sputtered all over the floor behind the counter. Then...it was horrifying! The customer was freaking eating the cashier! I swear I saw it with my own bare eyes, I cried then and the customer looked at me then tried to eat me! I screamed for help but nobody arrived, instead the cashier came back to dead and attacked me too. I quickly grabbed the nearest bow and arrow. I tried to...I tried to warn him! Them! I said don't come near me or I will shoot!
They did not listen... so I did shoot them. Strike through the head. They died. I killed them, I'm a criminal. But it's self defenses!
I felt the back of my eye started to burn as I held the tears that are threatening to slide down my eyes to my face. I wiped my eyes and hugged my knees. Jean continued trembling with me as we silently hoped that someone would find us.
Is this...what life is like in the city?
