Hi guys! I so very sorry that I didn't update like in forever! Please don't kill me! *Runs behind Levi.* I also know this is a short chapter. They will be short from now on. Sorry... *Hides under Levi's bed in side of a immensely guarded castle.*
Anyways, please follow, favorite and review!
Or not.
What if he abuses me? What if the only reason that he wanted me was to use me to make pups? What if he doesn't see me as his wife/husband but as a toy? Questions ran through my head like wildfire, bringing that voice back up.
You still have a little chance of escape. Do it NOW.
"Ok, I'm going to go pack now." I said with caution standing up. One of the guards, the one with the glasses and the crazy grin, stepped forward toward my stairs. Well, more like sprinted there.
"Um, can I like… pack up myself… You should know that I am perfectly able to pack my own stuff. If you didn't know, we do things by ourselves here." Sarcasm dripped like venom in my words. Erwin looked at me strangely, looking at my eyes than at my ears before nodding and motioning upstairs.
"We will wait here. Hanji leave him be." The guard, Hanji's, smile disappeared and fell back in the ranks with her fellow Royal Guards. I quickly turned and ran upstairs to Armin and Mikasa. I knew exactly what to do, even though this would be hard and will hurt me more than King Levi, I had to do this.
"Armin, Mikasa! I need your help." I whisper-yelled as I burst through the door. Armin looked at me strangely while Mikasa had that face that said 'I-know-what-to-do-you-don't-have-to-tell-me'. Instead of waiting for me to explain what I needed their help for, Mikasa grabbed my backpack and started throwing stuff in: snacks, clothes, money, and the friendship/family necklace that we all made for each other.
I was definitely surprised and wished that I was like her. "Eren, I know you don't want to marry King Levi. Take Crystal and get out of here! You should go into the forest at day and travel through the city at night. Ride to Armin's Grandfather. He always helps us out. You don't have much time. We all love you. Don't say good-bye; we'll see each other again." Tears threatened to fall at Mikasa's speech. Now do you see why I love her so much? With a sniff, I pulled them in together for a group hug and swiftly escaped the house through my window.
The night was dark; only the moon light my way to the small horse stable that we owned. I plucked several apples from the basket in the entrance of the stable. There was a reason why nobody could ride on Crystal; she would buck anyone off if they didn't give her an apple. So, it's best if I take several. Yes, Crystal is a pure white horse with a black diamond on one of her ears. She's pretty cute.
I quickly approached her, just tossing that apple into the air. She caught it and munched on it loudly as I swung myself on her and gave her a quiet kick on the side, urging her to run. She responded like lightning to the command. Without a sound, she quietly sprinted through the fields near the Royal Guards' horses and into the forest. But before we could reach the dense trees of the coniferous forest, a chestnut brown horse neighed loudly making the other horses neigh with him. God damn it no. I hope Jean doesn't neigh with them.
I stirred my horse into the other direction. I decided to take Mikasa's advice and travel through the city. Now that I think about it, even though its night, plenty of people still try to sell their products and many more costumers buy them. Anyways, there are about the same amount of people buying stuff in the day as in the night.
I pushed my milky white horse faster, finally reaching her speed limit. If I press her to go even faster, she will definitely pass out before I can shake the Royal Guards off my tail. I turned around to see that, sadly, the Guards were right behind me. What?! How did they catch on this quick?
"By the command of His Highness King Levi, we order you to stop this instant!" Bellowed the all-mighty Erwin. As I raced through the neighborhood, I saw lights flickering on and adults coming out with torches in their hands. I spotted Horseface [Jean] a few meters from me. He just stood there with a smirk on his face in front of his wooden house. Suddenly, he tossed a perfectly red apple. And of course Crystal, the appleholic, zipped after it. The only problem was that the apple was thrown towards the Guards, not the other way around. Thanks a LOT Horseface.
I was forced to jump off of Crystal, earning a painful ache in my ribs from the fall. Black pools started to cover my eye-sight. I just wanted to stay there, basically inviting the Royal Guards to take me to His Highness. But I couldn't.
I forced myself back to my feet and started sprinting toward the market. I glanced back at the Guards again, to see that they have slowed down of the crazed horse. Crystal still couldn't find the apple. Thanks Jean?
Sometimes I would still fell that ache on my left side and God was it painful!
Suddenly, I heard a gunshot. I haven't heard that sound in a while! The last time I heard it was when I was a small pup and a serial killer was shooting random people, including me.
Without looking back, I pushed myself to go faster; the adrenaline that rushed inside me caused me to forget the terrible aches that infested my body. Fear had stricken me like a lightning bolt. That gunshot could only mean two things: that the Royal Guards slatured Crystal or they could've tried to slow me down by shooting me. I don't like either of those two options.
Tears flowed down my face like a river. Crystal can't die.
"By the order of King Levi, we command you to stop immediately!" Erwin screeched again, "If you do not fulfill that order in the next minute, we will be forced to take military action!"
Military action!? Seriously? I'm not a criminal! What are you going to do, kill me? I don't think they can hurt me; King Levi would be furious. But then again, he's probably already furious that I ran off, twice. I mean, usually everyone fears him and follow his orders. I, on the other hand, fear him and don't follow his orders.
I heard the hoofs of the horses get louder and louder. Obviously, a werewolf in human form running is no match for a horse. My lungs burned for extra air. I will surely pass out if I don't start.
Hearing a loud whine on my left, I shoot my gaze forward to see a black horse next to a small man in black robes. It was just ahead of me, just grazing on some grass with his reins just laid the on the ground. The man in the black robes was sitting with his back to me while sipping on what looked like tea in this very weird way.
Sizing the opportunity, I skillfully and quickly mounted the midnight black horse and zipped away towards the river on the other edge of town. Damn, this horse is fast, but then again, the Royal Guard's horses are fast as well. Sorry black-cloaked owner! I'll let him go when I reach the forests!
Bam! The sound of another gunshot rang in my ears. So I was correct. They meant to shot me.
I dug my heels a little deeper into the horse's side to order him to run faster. All the people in the market flattened themselves to the sides of the streets to not get trampled by the obviously strong hoofs of the horses. I'm really happy they did that. I'm not that heartless to kill or even injure people. I can't do that even if I tried.
Soon the sound of hoofs hitting the ground lessened more and more until I could only hear the gasps and screams of the town folk. And then finally, FINALLY, I reached the river a little into the woods.
Slowing the horse to a stop, for the first time, I looked behind me. Nobody was there; I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. They're gone.
Kicking the horse's side lightly, he or she started to trot toward the long-forgotten crystal-clear waterfall. Armin, Mikasa and I discovered it when we were chasing Crystal a long time ago. A few months later, we uncovered a cave [A/N: I know, I know, its cliché] in case we need to get away from everything. Over the years, we filled the cave with dry food, clothing, and other necessities. I got off the midnight black horse with care and gave her one of the many red apples. I then led the horse away from the cave and smacked the horse on his or her behind. Quick as lightening, the horse reared back on his two hind legs and took off towards the town.
Tiredly, I sulked into the cave, wetting my clothes [A/N: Not like that, you dirty-minded people!], but then quickly changed into dry ones. I spread out the soak ones on a wooden rack Mikasa built. I then snacked on an apple and as soon as my head hit the flat pillow on the straw bed, I was out as a light.
Ha...
I have a feeling that some of you are disappointed about my style of writing... But hey! This is prof that I wrote this and not someone else!
Ugh, I feel so stupid right now...
