There Christa was, sitting on her balcony that over looked her garden. She sat there, with a serious look upon her face. She was thinking of that girl, the rude and distant girl that stood in front of her that night. It has been three days since that strange encounter. And no matter what Christa was doing, she couldn't get Ymir, out of her head. Christa sighed to herself. She felt a bit stressed out from the fact her wedding was soon approaching, and the fact … she couldn't get that girl out of her head. She sat there, and kept staring in the direction of which Ymir had run off in. Soon her deep thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Sasha's voice yelling something up to her from the ground below.
"Young Mistress, I'm going into town for about an hour so I can go get more fruits and vegetables for dinner tonight, and to stock up on food. Please be safe while I'm gone"
"Wait Sasha! Please may I go with you?"
"Christa, you know you're not allowed to ever leave the Mansion without the company of either your parents or Reiner now."
"Please Sasha! I feel like I have been trapped inside the house for ages. The last time I left it was three months ago when Reiner allowed me to go out shopping with him. Please Sasha, I beg of you, I shall not tell anyone, and if we are caught I'll say that I left without permission and you came to find me." Christa said this with a sorrowful look on her face, along with a look of desperation.
Sasha sighed, then looked up at the princess and nodded. Christa's face lighten up with happiness. She grabbed her beige cloak with a hood on it, and put in on over the simple pastel pink dress she had on. She soon put on her white purse that went vertically across her body, and then she slipped on her beige flats which exposed her big toe and the toe next to that. She quickly ran out her room, shutting the huge door behind her.
As Sasha and Christa walked around in town for about an hour they finally hit the food market district, Christa's feet got really tired and sore. She was not used to all that walking. Sasha noticed Christa slowing down, she turned to Christa and asked "Christa if you want you can sit on a bench and rest your feet, and I shall come back for you when I'm done getting a few fruits and vegetables."
"Well if you wouldn't mind, I would love to rest my feet."
Sasha smiled at the blonde beauty and walked her over to a bench by a bin with multiply fish inside of it. "Be good, and stay put till I come for you Christa, don't talk to any strangers, I shall take no longer than forty minutes." Sasha said, as she turned and walked off. Christa sat there for what felt like hours, but in reality when Christa looked up at the huge tower a few meters away from her that had a large clock in the center at the top; it showed only five minutes had passed since Sasha left. Suddenly, Christa had a massive headache that seemed to have come over her, probably from the smell of raw fish beside her, along with the many other smells in the food market. Christa couldn't stand the smell anymore; she soon got up and walked off a bit. Sasha wouldn't really mind, I don't think, as long as I'm back before she gets back, she never has to know. Christa hadonly been walking for around ten minutes when she soon came to the horrible realization that she was lost. She had never been out in town by herself before, and only allowed out a few times; so she didn't really ever have time to pay attention to her surroundings. Christa became frantic and started run around through all the streets and side alleys hoping she would find something that seemed closed to were the fish were, but the more she ran around, the farther the huge clock tower seemed. She soon ran out of breath and sat down in a nearby alley way. Scared and confused, Christa just kept praying for Sasha to show up out of nowhere. She pulled her legs close and hid her face in her knees, gently crying to herself.
Suddenly, Christa found herself slowly opening her heavy eyelids. Had she fallen asleep? She asked herself this, before letting out a small gasp of pain. The back of her head was killing her; it felt as if a huge pressure was directly in the center pressing down. Christa reached to touch the back of her head when she came to the disturbing realization that her hands were tied together in front of her with thick rope. Christa looked around in a panic and didn't know where she was, but she could tell she was in an abandon factory of some sort by the looks of old boxes and crates everywhere. Christa soon heard the voices and conversation of two men coming towards her.
"Oh I see the girl is finally up"
"I wonder how much she'll sell for on the sex market" One of the men said as he harshly grabbed Christa's chin and moved her face side to side. "No shame in testing out the product. Both men chuckled loudly and evilly then the one that was grabbing Christa's soft face suddenly pushed her onto her back and pushed up her dress while ripping it slightly at the bottom. The other man went around restraining her upper body. Christa thrashed around pretty hardly trying to escape. But it was no use; the men were too strong, and Christa had a kid like body so it was hopeless. "Please I beg of you! Let go of me! No Stop! Don't! Someone Help Me! Please! " Christa pleads only made them more determined to rape her. "Don't worry little one ... we won't be to ruff with you" As the man at the lower half of Christa's body slowly start to move her silk panties down, he soon fell over to his left side; for he was kicked hardly in the right side. As Christa slowly reopened her eyes which were a bit misty from tears, she was speechless because Ymir was standing right there in front of her. The other man quickly stood up and swung his fist at Ymir, she simply caught it in her own hand like it was nothing, and twisted his arm behind his back till she heard a loud popping sound over and over, ignoring the man screams for help. She smirked and tossed him so he would land on top of his buddy. Ymir turned to Christa and helped her to stand up onto her small feet, Ymir bite at the ropes tightly tied onto Christa till they eventually fell off. Ymir then noticed the torn spot in her dress and anger soon engulfed her.
"Did these fucking bastards touch you?" Ymir said as she picked up a long skinny metal rod beside them. She ran to the men and started beating them with it. Christa happy sorrow of being rescued by Ymir turned into fear. Christa started trembling as she thought Ymir was going to kill them with how hard she was hitting them and the puddles of blood that started surrounded them. Christa couldn't take it anymore and she ran up behind Ymir and hugged her tightly and said "Ymir! Stop! They didn't Rape me! That's enough please stop! You have done enough!"
Ymir coming to her senses stopped and dropped the rod which made a resounding noise throughout the factory. She turned to Christa who was slightly crying, she then grabbed her hand tightly and walked with her slowly. They were both silent while walking hand and hand. They both had a lot on their minds but scared and worried on what to say. Both their hearts were beating in tempo as one. Soon Ymir broke the silence by saying, "I'm sorry for scaring you." Christa didn't respond and remained silent. Ymir a bit pissed that she didn't respond then shoved Christa to the ground and raised her voice "Is that the damn thanks I get for saving your worthless life?" she walked over to Christa and grabbed her shoulder to shake her, but Ymir couldn't; noticing that Christa was already shaking herself. Ymir said in a soft and distant voice "I'm sorry" as she stood up to walk away she felt a tug at her cotton black pants.
"Ymir … thank you for saving me. It's just … It was scary … all of it … at once …"
"I'm still sorry"
When Ymir said that, Christa wrapped her arms around Ymir's neck and gently kissed her. Why did I kiss her just now? Stunned by this, yet satisfied, Ymir kissed back with more passion while locking her arms around Christa's lower back. They stayed like this for a good five minutes till Christa broke away from the passionate kiss and looked up at Ymir and asked "Ymir why are you a criminal? What was the crime you committed?"
Ymir stunned by the sudden question then simply replied by saying "You saw the type of monster I was back there didn't you? I'm just a natural born killer I guess."
"Ymir … you're lying to me..." Christa said in a strong confident voice, as if she knew she was right.
"What?"
"I can tell that you're lying to me"
"Oh? There you go again, acting as if we are friends!"
"No it's just … I remember your eyes from somewhere, and I remember when those certain eyes lie, I can tell, those eyes of yours … I seen them before Ymir … I know it might sound crazy, but I think I may know you from somewhere."
Ymir gave out a nervous chuckle and said "So you do remember me eh?" Ymir smiled brightly at Christa. Christa smiled back but had a confused look on her face.
"Ymir? What do you mean by that?"
Ymir keep smiling yet said in a teasing way "Ha-ha well you see you little brat … back then … we … well God … where should I begin …"
As you Ymir was thinking to herself, Christa admired her handsome beauty in the evening sunset. Christa heart started to beat faster and faster. As Christa was about to speak out, the sound of horses running came closer and closer. Then suddenly the sound of Reiner's and Sasha's voice came.
"Young Mistress? Where are you?"
"Christa! Where are you!"
Ymir leaped to her feet when hearing the sound of them getting closer. She helped Christa up to her feet, and then hugged her tightly before climbing up a nearby tree. Soon Reiner, Sasha, and what seemed like around ten members of the Garrison made it to her. Reiner jumped off his horse and ran up to Christa, with a look of anger on his face; he soon said in a harsh voice "Where have you been Christa?" Christa froze and looked over to Sasha who was crying. Displeased that she didn't answer right away, he grabbed her wrist tightly and asked again. Christa in a bit of pain answered "I-I … I went out for a walk while Sasha went o-out to the store … a-and got lost"
"Christa! Do you realize how dangerous that is? That's it! You can never leave the Mansion again! Not even with me! I shall have you watched 24/7 and someone will accompany you all the time! Do you understand?" Reiner barked at Christa which caused her to tear up a bit. He basically dragged her to a horse and helped her up on to it. In a matter of five minutes, they began to ride out. Christa tried to balance herself on the bouncing horse while crying to herself. Christa was quiet the whole way home. When two Garrison Members took her to her room, and she realized they sat there, outside her door, she became sad, not at the fact she couldn't leave the mansion ever again … but the painful fact she'll never get the chance to talk to Ymir again. She held her small right hand over her chest. Ymir … I wish... to see you again. Christa only thought of Ymir as she drifted off to a painful sleep.
"Who the hell those that bastard think he is? Grabbing her like that? I should have just … ugh!" Ymir yelled out as she sat there high in the tree she climbed up to escape sight earlier. "That asshole! … Ughh … never let her leave the mansion eh? Well if she can't leave … then I'll go to her. I most see her … and this time, I'll tell her everything I need to tell her. And expose Reiner for what that fucking asshole did so many years ago." Ymir then laid there on the hard branch and looked up at the crescent shaped moon that seemed so lonely in the night; just like how she internally felt. She let out a small sigh and said "Christa … will you wait for me? Like that promise we made … so many years ago?" With that last line Ymir fell into a deep painful sleep.
