Chapter 8
Author's Note: Hey everyone! I'm super sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time, but I've been really busy with school. I'll have the next few chapters done, and posted before October the 26th. Thanks so much for your continued support! Thanks for waiting guys! I've been super busy with school~Uggghhhhh. I've decided that since I've been really busy, I'll make a couple of chapters this time, instead of only posting one, so here's one of them. I really hope you like it!
When you woke up, your head was lying on your computer, your eyes all crusty and dry, and your head spinning. Confused about where you are, you open the computer up, and much to your dismay, episode 6. You were so enraptured by what was going on with Armin that you almost forgot about Eren, but then came to your senses. Connie looked genuinely concerned for Armin, which you thought showed true friendship. As Armin recalled the events earlier, a lump formed in your throat, making it hard to breath, and when you saw Armin freaking out, you felt a stab in your chest from the guiltiness of not being able to do anything, for the guiltiness of not being there. You're mouth opened wide because of what Yimr said to Armin.
Your heart just empathized with Hanna so much because you could feel what she was going through. You knew exactly what it felt like to lose someone near and dear to your heart.
Then the scene switched to the scene where they're trying to get that big cart through the gate. You felt an unpleasant feeling coming up in your throat, telling you that what they were doing, wasn't such a great idea. The titan foot steps made you shiver, showing the scene where it kicked a soldier. Seeing Mikasa provided you with hope, showing how she defeated the titan, but you got cold as the man continued to speak in a way that would very much annoy the living daylights out of anyone. The way Mikasa told the selfish man to let the citizens go in front of the cart made a little bit of your heart light up because it showed how caring she was towards others.
Outside of your house, it is sunny, but in your room, it's raining, washing the smoke of the dead titans away. You had always loved the way the show had the information on the gear because what if you wanted to make some yourself?
It then revealed Mikasa's mother's and father's face, displaying the wonderful household she was brought up in. You also saw Eren, and his father, Grisha, his father who you weren't sure if he was alive or not anymore since the titan raid, and you were sure that the people who had knocked on the door were them. Eren, you thought dreamily, remembering the few actual talks you had with him, and how much he meant to you. You poked the screen, hoping he would be able to see you again, like before, but this Eren was different. He didn't respond, only look off into space. When they opened the door, splashes of blood and evidence of a robbery were everywhere. You recognized Eren's eyes, however they weren't looking at you. A scene with Mikasa lying on the ground, with thoughts of what had just gone on, passed on the screen. Her description of it, displaying a bloody scene with her mother getting hacked on the head, and a knife through her father's lower body. You were close to tears for Mikasa, with the way her parents had died, while you were lucky enough to even have parents. With Mikasa, lying on the ground, and Eren at the doorway, you saw a little Eren, killing mercilessly, stabbing the kidnapper over and over with a dagger, and it was like you could smell the scent of death in the air. When the third, and unknown kidnapper to Eren came in, you wanted to tell him to watch out, but it was a little too late as the man started choking Eren, as he was shouting war cries to Mikasa, telling her to "Fight or die." She just then had a flashback of her happier years where she saw insects eating others and her father holding a dead bird, with the words "We live in a cruel world," stuck in your head like a record on repeat. Your heart filled with mixed emotions about this event, and your mind swirling with thoughts like a bottomless pit. You could see the feelings swirling around Eren as he showed concern for Mikasa, and you felt warmth spread through your body, but a hint of jealousy spread through your mind. You couldn't tell if it was more of a friendly concern or a more than that concern, yet at this time you pushed it away knowing that this was not the time to be worrying about that; although you had it all the way in the back of your mind, you still couldn't keep from thinking about it a little, as Grisha offered their home to Mikasa, and especially as Eren took hold of her sleeve. The scene ended with her forming tears, tears of joy; the next, where Mikasa is killing another titan, divulging her belief about victors and their prey. The final scene of her "flying" away to her home, Eren. You were close to tears, knowing that she would not find her home again, not now, not ever.
