Mikasa and Annie walked down the long flight of stairs leading to Eren's basement.

"Let me guess Ms. Ackerman, you forgot your swords in the car."

"Yep."

"Well, to late now."

Annie stopped at the basement door.

"Ms. Ackerman?"

"Yes?"

"There's no key hole."

"Then open the door, I want to see what's inside!"

Annie already knew what was inside. Though, she wanted to humor Mikasa. Annie opened the door to the familiar snarl and snap of jaws from one side of the room. She flicked on the light and just what she expected, Eren's five-year-old wolf, Rooger.

"Hey Rooger buddy." Annie keeled in front of the large animal as it nuzzled it's head and rubbed against her, whining softly.

"A wolf?"

"Yeah, this is your brother's wolf, Rooger."

"Wait, how did you know he had a wolf?"

"I'll explain later."

Annie and the wolf were very familiar to each other, Eren seldom let Annie go on a mission without him or the wolf.

Mikasa found a small wooden box in the middle of the room, she knelt down and took out the key from her pocket, opening the box. There was nothing inside but a note. Annie walked over and stood next to Mikasa as the oriental woman read it.

"It says, 'To whoever found this, your screwed.'" Mikasa read aloud.

"Well girls, fancy seeing you here."

They both turned around, kneeling on one knee next to Rooger, was Eren, petting the large animal.

"Snooping around eh, and Annie, you'd better of kept your mouth shut."

Eren grabbed Annie and lifted her by the collar of her shirt.

"Let her down!"

"Wow Mikasa, did I miss the memo when Mom put you in charge? Oh wait, your not even my real sister, not even family, huh, SIS?"

Mikasa looked at him with horror in her eyes.

"Say Annie, I've got a new mission for you by the way, would've called you, but, I thought you were dead."

"If there's one thing I've learned from you, it's 'Never get caught'."

"Good, I DID get something in that blond head of your's." Eren told her, rubbing her head with his hand when he let her to her feet.

"A-Annie what is he talking about?"

"I'm sorry Ms. Ackerman."

"What?"

"Remember how I told you I've had to kill people?"

Mikasa still couldn't believe that someone so loyal could even harm a fly.

"Do you still have your murderous touch?" Eren asked Annie.

"As much as my hair's blond, sir."

"Good, I'm glad I picked someone this loyal as my second in command."

"Annie?"

"I'd keep my mouth shut Ms. Ackerman!" Annie snapped warningly.

"This is my leader, the leader of the group I was in, the only person I'm loyal to."

Eren gave an evil little grin.

"Go wait in the car Annie, take Rooger with you, we can't leave someone like Mikasa to rat us out."

"Yes sir."

Annie looked into the rear-view mirror, she saw what normally happened to the people they took hostage. Their hands were always tied back, ankles tied together, blindfolded, and a cloth around their mouth to keep them from talking. Like they normally would, Eren gently placed Mikasa in the trunk of the car. He sat in the driver's seat and fired up the car.

"Wait." Annie murmured before Eren could pull out of the driveway.

"Yes?"

"Who do you even want me to kill."

"A lady named Petra Ral."

"What? Hell no! She's my friend!"

"Fucking suck doesn't it?!" he yelled at her.

"Sorry sir, I didn't mean to object."

"Enough with the 'sir' shit. You call me 'master' from now on."

"Yes Master Jaegar."

"Much better."

They pulled out the driveway, and after about five minutes, they were in Petra's.

"Now Annie, you have to be careful."

"Why? It's only Petra."

"No, she's not the only one who lives there. A man named Levi Heichou lives with her, and he's protective."

Fuck, I have to kill two of my friends...

Annie tried to look as poker-faced as possible, this wasn't her first kill.

Eren handed her a sword.

"Good luck."

"Master Jaegar?"

"Yes Annie?"

"What if I fail my mission, desert it even?"

"Then you can forget seeing Mikasa again."

He'd kill his own sister?

"I'll be back."

"Good."

Annie left the car and walked in the house. The lights were all out, it was quite easy to find the bedroom, she could hear Petra's very soft and quiet snores. Annie slipped swiftily and quietly into the bedroom. Annie raised her sword, ready send it crashing down on the sleeping couple. Then, she couldn't. She watched as Petra slept curled up to Levi, her cute face resting at the crook of his neck, his arms wrapped around her waist. Annie bit her lip, she felt as she would cry. Annie set the sword on the floor and began to shake Petra, urgently trying to wake the small strawberry blond.

"Huh- Annie! What the hell are you doing here?!"

"Petra you have to listen!"

"Leonhardt! This is a home invasion!" Levi scolded, holding tighter to Petra.

"Shh! Just listen! I'm begging you!" Annie begged on her knees.

"Alright, we're listening." Petra murmured sitting up, Levi sighed, clear irritation in his eyes, and sat up too. Annie just ruined his night of sound sleep.

"I was sent to kill you Petra."

"By who?"

"Not aloud to tell."

"What are we going to do about it then?" Levi asked.

"I'll kill the man, but I'll need help from you guys."

"Yes?"

"To stay quiet and never in your lives, and I mean NEVER talk about it."

"We promise, right Levi?"

"Tch, fine."

"Also, if I don't come back in twenty minutes, call the cops."

"Got it."

"Thank you." Annie sobbed. Petra got up and hugged her tight. Annie began crying softly over Petra's shoulder.

Annie wiped away her tears.

"Wait, Petra, do you by any chance have red nail polish?"

"Yeah, why?"

"To make it look like there's blood on my sword, so it looks like I did it."

After a while, Annie returned outside to Eren.

"Are they dead?"

"No, and they won't be."

"Why?"

"This." Annie muttered darkly, stabbing Eren once in the side. He fell down to the ground, coughing up blood and fighting to breathe. Annie dropped her sword and fell to her knees, laying with her head on his side, tears flowing silentl from her eyes.

"Annie..."

"Yes Master Jaegar?"

"You remember how we and the rest of the group decided how we bury the fallen leaders?"

"Yes sir."

"No more need to ever call me that."

"Right."

"You take leaders' chain now."

Eren pulled a fine rose-gold chain of his neck and tied it around Annie's like a hankerchief.

"You're the leader now."

"I'm honored."

"Glad."

"Any dying wishes?"

"You- you must bring back who is left from the group, we kinda scattered. When you bring back the live ones, have them help you fulfill my hit list, it's in the trunk of my car."

"I will, I swear."

Annie did the group salute that they came up with, a simple fist over the heart.

Eren gave her a weak smile.

Annie wiped back the tears.

"Don't cry for me." Eren murmured, wiping away the remaining tears on Annie's face and kissing her.

After a few seconds, Annie pulled away, surprised by his actions.

"I've always wanted to do that."

"What, kiss a girl?"

"No, kiss you, Master Leonhardt." Those were his final words as he closed his eyes, and stopped breathing.

"Eren? Eren no!" Annie cried into the rain, then burrowed her face into his shoulder, mourning for her leader. Annie got up, went inside to tell Petra and Levi she was fine and went back out, wrapping Eren in a blanket and placing him in the trunk of the car after taking Mikasa out and untying her. Mikasa felt tears running down her own cheeks. Yes, her brother had done some awful things, but he was her brother, and she loved him no matter what. Annie got in the front seat of Eren's car and Mikasa got in her own, following Annie to their house.
