~Chapter 15 - Attack~

"Sayram! Don't move! I'll get you out of there!" Fragon yelled from the ground.

He was sitting on a horse riding away from a 3 meter class titan that had been chasing him for a while. Sayram was in the mouth of a titan; his legs were inside the mouth while his torso, head and arms are outside. Blood formed a thin stream that dripped from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were tearing.

"Squad leader! Don't come any closer! Please, just get out of here!"

"SAYRAM!"

"Take care of yourself! I'll see you on the other s-"

Before Sayram could finish his sentence, the titan smacked his hand on his mouth and squished Sayram.

"SAYRAM!" Fragon shrieked as loud as he was able to.

Blood was smeared onto the titan's grinning face as he bent down to get Fragon.

Isabel, Farlan and I were riding on our horses as close as we could to each other. Fragon in the middle, I was to the left and Isabel to the right.

The fog grew thicker and made it harder to see. And suddenly, a titan appeared right in front of us.

Isabel and I turned to the sides but Farlan was stuck. He pulled onto the rope desperately trying to make the horse turn, only resulting the horse to fall onto its side. Farlan's left leg was stuck under the horse and the titan was nearing.

As the titan reached out to seize Farlan, I quickly jumped off of my horse and ran to Farlan to try to push the horse off of him while Isabel took care of the titan. Isabel sliced of the titans fingers and aimed for the nape.

She missed.

The titan jumped up to its feet and the movement caused Isabel to slip. The hook kept her attached to the titan on its back.

Farlan and I sat on the muddy floor as we saw another titan approach Isabel.

The second titan bent down and opened its jaws.

"Bi….Big…Bro-"

She was quieted down by the titan.

"Isabel….Isabel….Isabel….ISABEL!" I started off whispering my deceased friend but I ended up yelling.

I rose to my feet.

The second titan had pushed the first one onto the floor and were now both starring straight at me and Farlan. Blood smeared all over its face.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!" I shrieked with anger as I pulled out my swords. I activated my 3DMG and flew towards the nape of the titan within one second; I had sliced out the nape. I did the same to the titan underneath.

When I looked up again I saw Fragon. He was facing Farlan and didn't notice the titan behind him.

"BEHIND YOU!" I screeched, but it was too late.

The titan behind Fragon had token hold of him and Fragon's head was now between the teeth of the titan.

Farlan and I stood and watched as Fragon got devoured. None of us had the bravery to move and stared at Fragon's killer like hypnotised.

"FARLAN!" I yelled when I saw a titan behind him on the way to grab him.

Farlan activated his 3DMG, but it malfunctioned, leaving him helpless in front of the titan.

Farlan was raised by the titan, he didn't struggle a bit. His horror filled eyes and my scared eyes met and for a short second, his dry lips turned into a smile and he waved slightly to me.

His body was lowered into the titan's mouth, only the legs were outside.

Suddenly, out of the fog, Levi came out and sliced of the titan's hand. But it was too late; the titan had already taken a bite and Farlan's lifeless leg fell down to the muddy ground.

Anger bubbled up within me which gave me new power. I pushed the thoughts of Isabel and Farlan away for the moment, Levi was here. He'll help me. He'll save us. He has come back for us.

I turned around and saw around 4 20-30 meter class titan loiter around searching for preys to sink their teeth in.

I'm going to kill you all; you are all going to die by my hands…

I shot my hooks towards the closest titan. The hooks landed on either side of his face. I prepared my swords while I was zapping through the air and shoved the blades straight into the titan's eyes. As it roared in pain, I attached new blades to my handle and flew to the next titan and sliced the nape of it.

As I was slicing the second titan, the third reached its hand to me. I shot my hooks to his neck and swirled in a circle as I cut of his fingers and made wounds from his arm all the way to the neck. I made a quick turn to the right, still twirling, and cut of his nape. His head slacked down to the nape due to his neck muscles were broken.

One titan left, it was the one that I had shoved blades into. I fastened my pace as I walked to the titan. He was covering his injured eyes with his palms.

"Hey, asshole! How does humans taste?" I asked. "C'mon, were they tasty? Did you enjoy eating them?" I was standing on the titan's nape now. I gave a few hard kicks with the heel of my boots onto the nape and the titan whimpered. "Answer me you shit-faced bastard."

The titan continued to whimper and made painful noises. Tired of seeing the titan alive, I sliced out the nape and rode the titan on its back as it fell to the ground face-first.

I jumped of the titan; steam from fallen titan's built a barrier that prevented me from seeing where I was.

The rain was still pouring, but not as much as it used to be.

One thought circled around my head, more precisely, 3 names.

Isabel, Farlan, Levi…
