Eren collapsed on his knees in shock. Filled with so many emotions one moment then feel numb the next all the boy could get out was a weak "w-what".
After a few moments of looking helplessly into his friends blue pools the titan shifter managed to ask "What do you mean she's missing when did you last see her?! She was right next to us the other day was she not Armin?"
"I..I.."
"this means nothing, none of this means anything where finally free the day we've dreamed of since kids was she the cost?"
Eren kept on and on in circles refusing to believe the undesirable news, until Armin put a kind hand on his shoulder breaking him from his trance, though unable to hide tears of his own. "Eren. Listen to me, It'll be alright the fact that she's lost means there's still hope. There are search parties everywhere looking for survivors. They'll find her."
Eren nodded "Your right, I just need to trust that she's alive. Can you give me a minute? Please Armin."
The blond understood and mounted his horse "Don't move from this spot though, Levi will probably be looking for you." And with that he was off.
Eren scurried to his feet, like hell he was going to stay there, Mikasa needed him and she's never turned her back on him. Never.
He ran aimlessly through the blood-covered forest, the stench of rotting body's invading his nose. He prayed, prayed that she was safe, that the titans where really gone, that all his friends made it out, that he would never have to transform again…he prayed most of all for her though. Every ounce of his being wanted no more like needed her to be alive. What was life like without her? The titan shifter wanted no part in a life like that.
Thump
Eren found himself looking at vertical trees and a pain on his face, before he realized he'd collapsed from peer exhaustion. He had never recovered fully from the transformation.
All he could do was lay there motionless; the hope of humanity had finally lost his hope.
He cried.
What else could he do he was powerless, a person so precious to him, was gone no goodbye no warning nothing.
Gone.
He remembered her tell him once, Thank you, for wrapping this scarf around me.
What a fool he was.
He should've thanked her, he shouldn't have pushed her away so much, and he should've wrapped the scarf around her with love and care.
He cried out the part of him that was consumed by her, he was truly powerless.
Alone.
Desperate.
Empty.
Free.
"Jeager."
Immediately Erens eyes got wide at the recognition of the clean freaks voice, he didn't move a muscle though.
"What the hell Jeager everyone has been looking for you. Hell even Jean was getting concerned."
Through salty tears and a shaky throat "Sir, M-Mikasa?"
Levi knew right away the situation. He couldn't bring himself to tell the boy they've given up on the search parties, as they've found no survivors. And that she's been officially listen as lost in war.
Instead he reached in his pocket to reveal a small envelope with Eren in beautiful cursive on the back. Levi placed the letter down next to the boys face "I know sadly what you're going through Eren. I wish I could do more but, she gave that too be awhile back. Said if anything where to happen to her she'd haunt me for eternity if I didn't give it too you."
The short Akerman mounted his horse "Eren I'm sending some nurses to come get you, your body's still recovering don't you dare move shitty brat."
Eren showed no reaction.
Levi turned to leave on his stallion, muttering a soft, "I'm sorry." Before taking off.
Eren couldn't accept this reality but he willed up the courage to open the letter. Hoping that whatever was incased in the letter would lead him to her.
