Chapter 5
Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm back from China, and I super sorry for not updating. Here's another chapter, and I hope you guys like it.
Soaring around the Colossal Titan, Eren started shouting, consumed with revenge, completely ignoring all of the looking that his team was giving him. He ran across the titan's back, trying to get the perfect position to kill it.
Smiling, you looked at Eren with determination and confidence, and you hoped he could feel it.
He felt a little pound in his chest and he knew it had to be you. He got in position, and was getting closer to it, as everything seemed to go in slow motion. When he got close enough to the titan, he swung his weapons, but then smoke overwhelmed everything, to a point in which he couldn't see anything, just the image of the Colossal Titan disappearing through the steam. So shocked and stunned, he couldn't get anything through his mind, except that he had failed not only his mother, but humanity.
You could see his shock about everything that was going on, and you couldn't believe it too. You were stunned, but kept assuming the best, that maybe Eren had killed it, or that maybe it was too afraid of him, but you knew that the damage had already been done. The gate was broken, and so was Eren's mind at the moment.
Eren heard his teammate call out to him, and ask if if he had defeated the titan, and he felt so ashamed when he responded that he didn't. Eren was petrified, and felt that it was all his fault. 'What am I thinking?! I trained so hard for this, but I blew it! Now everyone's in danger because of me!'
You were looking at Eren with concern, and then it switched to a scene that almost broke your heart, where the villagers were running through to get to the other gate. They were trying to use the cannons on the wall, but you knew that it would work all too well. Poor Armin, you thought, as you saw him struggling to get a grip. Your heart was pounding by now, and you were scared for everyone, especially one special guy.
'I know what Armin's going through, and I want him to know that we still have a chance! We won't give up easily this time! We will prevail!' Eren thought to himself. He thought that the gate guards could have already been defeated, but then shook his head, wanting to assume the best. He could feel Mikasa's presence behind him, and knew how worried she was, just like the rest of them.
You knew that Mikasa felt the same, and tried to give some comfort into both her and Armin, and you hoped that they would be able to do something to fix this. You saw the scene where the titans had broken through the wall, and felt serious dread for everyone. You then saw Pyxis, and was glad that he didn't give into that lord, who was being very selfish.
Eren couldn't feel your presence for a little bit, and got worried again about where you were. He was positive that you would be fine, but that didn't keep him from looking around him for you. Eren felt that you could see him again, and felt a bit relieved, but once he had heard the news that the titans had gotten in, and that the armored titan could break through another wall, he got stiff, but tried to keep calm. Everyone was so scared, even to a point of throwing up, but he pushed on, even when Jean was about to give up, he talked to him, yelling about when they were training, and about how Jean couldn't give up, not yet. Eren was surprised that Mikasa wanted to protect him, even when they were in different squads. 'What is Mikasa thinking? I can take care of myself, and protect Armin too! She shouldn't worry about me and start freaking out like everyone else! She should worry about other things!' Eren thought.
When Mikasa grabbed Eren's hand and told him not to die, you thought it was really sweet, but there was a something in you that made you feel slightly jealous. 'If Eren could only come into this world,' you thought, 'Then I could show him everything that he is want to see and more.' How much you wished he could be here with you, and out of danger, but you knew it couldn't happen. You heard your cell phone ringing, and you decided to pause it because it was your friend calling you.
Eren was on the roof with the others, when he felt his body starting to become paralyzed, and he had no control over it, but the screen wasn't turning black like the other time. 'What's going on?' He thought to himself. He tried looking around, and noticed that everything was paused, even his squad didn't move a muscle, and now he was getting scared.
You came back to the screen, and noticed Eren's face on it, and you stared at him for what seemed like ages, but only a few minutes. His cute hair, and his beautiful eyes, and not to mention his sculpted face. You kept looking and admiring him, and something in your chest hurt, but you couldn't figure out what. It pained you that you two would never be together, but you still hoped.
