Chapter 3.
No More Suffering.
"Quick get in!" Jenn rushed as she hopped through someone's window with no glass, it was common in the underground to have just a whole in the wall acting as a window.
Angel didn't lag behind as she quickly followed her sister, vaulting through the window before raising a brow at Jenn arguing with a couple who resided in the house.
"-Yes yes I understand we are sorry! Ok whatever keep yelling bye," Jenn waved her arms in frustration as she grabbed Angel's hand and ran out the door.
"Where are we going?" Angel asked.
"Honestly I have no clue, maybe somewhere narrow and crowded. These guys fly around, they can spot us easy so we need to go somewhere with a lot of cover," Jennifer explained.
The two continued to run down the alleyways, heading deeper and deeper into the slums part of the underground. Angel couldn't help look around at the how corrupted this part of town was, bodies lined the path, some dead and some starving to death. Pale from the lack of sunlight. Jenn kept her head forward, dragging Angel through the paths, keeping an ear out for their pursuers.
Suddenly Jenn could hear a distinct sound of someone using the gas on the manoeuvre gear behind her, "Angel! Give me my knife!" Jenn yelled, sweat started to form on her brow.
"H-here!" Angel replied whilst trying to catch her breath as she reached behind her and gripped the metal switchblade before taking it out from between her hip and her pants and handing it to Jennifer, all this whilst being dragged around by the older woman.
Suddenly Jenn stopped when seeing two wires attached themselves to the wall in front of her and swiftly she side stepped so that she went in between two buildings before hopping through yet another window of a grubby building, luckily an abandoned building, and stopped to catch her breath. Angel also put her hands on her knees and took the time to catch her breath.
"Angelina, after I run out of this building, I want you to go to the farthest part of town and hide there for a while, here's the money," Jenn managed to huff out as she shoved a bag towards her, "That should last you until next month, I should be back before then."
"W-what? What the hell do you mean be back before then? I'm sticking with you!" Angelina gasped at her sister's proposition.
"Angel seriously! Don't argue with me right now we don't have the time!"
Angel rarely glared, but now was the time she deemed an appropriate time to glare at her sibling, "Don't give me that bullshit!" She shouted at her whilst giving her a shove, catching Jenn off guard as she held onto a nearby wooden beam to get her balance back, "You do this to much! We're sticking together you ass hat!"
Jenn narrowed her eyes but before she could reply the undeniable sound of wires and gas surrounded her and Angel, without saying a word Jenn reached for Angel's hand before scampering through the building and quickly hopping out another window.
But as her foot landed on the other side Jenn instantly felt a hard rock of a body tackle her to the side, as it in reflex she brought her feet up and pushed them against her attacker's chest, effectively pushing him off of her. She barely had time to regain herself before he charged at her, pulling out two long swords making her eyes widen. She quickly took out her knife and pushed it against one of his blades and trying to punch him with her free hand.
Jenn quickly assessed the situation she was in, time slowed down as she pushed him back and took a few steps to regain her posture, she quickly noted that he wasn't exactly attacking. His blades could have easily chopped off her head right now but he didn't. That meant only one thing, they intended to capture.
She took a quick glance around and noted another thing, there was actually three people standing and watching them with Angel cowered behind her. Jenn stopped attacking and stood back, the four members of the survey corps stared back with one of them breathing heavily from the short fight she had with him.
"I'm glad you took the time to see what kind of situation you're in," The tall blonde with huge ass eyebrows said to her. If Angel seemed like she was scowling she was actually biting the inside of her cheek to stop herself from bursting out with laughter, never had she seen such majestic eyebrows.
"What does the Survey corps want with me?" Jenn asked, trying to get straight to the point.
"I think you very well know what we want and why we are here," The man said as he stared at her. Jenn felt the sweat drip from the palm of her hand as her heart rate increased.
"I didn't kill that survey member," She calmly replied, her arms coming down to the sides of her but still holding her switch blade.
"Then who did?"
"I don't know, they were dead when I got there," Jenn answered, it was best to just state the truth at this point, hopefully they believed her, "I don't have any reason to lie!"
"Then tell us everything that happened," One of the men with a black undercut said as he slouched against a wall.
"I was hired to retrieve some documents, apparently, they were important enough that they didn't tell me what it was about or who the contact I was supposed to meet looked like. When I arrived, the person was already dead. They promised me money and above ground citizenship, they also paid me a large portion of the money in advance so I thought it to be true," Jenn glanced back at Angel for a moment, "I was desperate, so I jumped at the opportunity. My mistake."
"And now this mistake could cost you your life," The dark haired one bluntly said, Jenn glared at him.
"Well either way it seems the outcome is the same," Jennifer countered.
"So you didn't bother to track the person to see if the deal was real?" He asked with folded arms.
"He gave me half the money up front, my only concern was getting medicine."
The one with the majestic eyebrows cleared his throat, as if letting the other one to shut up, "So this man offered you money and above ground citizenship to retrieve documents off another contact within the Survey Corps headquarters?" He asked and Jenn nodded, he looked over to the dark-haired man, "Remind you of anyone?"
"Seems like the same tactics Nicholas Lovof attempted, only he's in the military jail."
The blonde nodded before looking back to Jenn and Angel, "We'll take you into our custody and conduct a full investigat-" He got cut off.
"I told you we're innocent!" Jenn gritted her teeth, "We haven't done anything wrong!"
The dark haired scoffed, "Right now the only thing you have to support your case is your word," He pushed himself off the wall and walked up to Jenn, who turned out to be a few inches taller than his short structure, but as always he was still intimidating as heck, "For all we know you're a shithead who really did kill that cadet, so you're not in any kind of position to make demands. The best thing you can do for you and your girlfriend is work with us and prove you weren't the ones."
Jenn swallowed a thick nervous lump down her throat before her eyes narrowed and she pushed the short man away, "Get out of my face, shorty"
"Jennifer!" Angel finally piped up, "Let's just go along with them, we don't have a choice."
The short man wiped off the imaginary dust off his shoulders before glaring back.
"Fine," Jennifer decided, "We'll comply."
Read if you can be bothered for my explanation of my absence from this story. if not, see you next chapter cadets!
Ok, first off I want to say IM sorry! I completely lost interest, the thing is AOT last year I was addicted too for like months, but I always restrained myself from writing fanfics off of my addictions cause they don't usually last that long and I go off into another fandom. So, considering my addiction to AOT had been going on for months I was like, heck frick a frack ill write this bloody thing cause I cant contain the STORY! And theeeen it just so happens that like a month after I discovered undertale, and that unfortunately broke me out of the AOT fandom and into the undertale fandom (which didn't last long) so after undertale I kind of didn't have a particular fandom to get all fangirly about again for a while, plus I had so much uni work to do (I still have loads to do but procrastination).
Then I decided to buy the AOT game because why not! And you 'no it wasn't all that bad, it obviously wasn't as dramatic as the anime or manga but the visuals were pretty nice and the characters looked really good, better than the fricken Naruto games that's for sure. Plus actually flying around with 3DM gear is great. Also, Levi is the best character in the game no surprise there.
As I got back into AOT I also found out the AOT Manga Colossal edition number 3 had finally come out HUZZAH and JEZUZ SO MUCH TO FANGIRL ABOT. So here I am again attempting to make some progress in this story.
The only problem with me and fanfics is that I can think of the beginning and the end and some events that may happen that will be like OMAGERD! But the middle coverage is pretty much made up on the spot lmao. It plays through my head lika anime or manga I guess and that's how I write it. Anyway sorry for the long ass wait fricken over 1 year since I updated, hope peeps are still around. I'll try to keep writers block far away and avoid other fandoms and try to keep this story going.
Thanks for reading (if you bothered this is a hella big as authors note) and I hope you review and shout at me for my absence.
Hope you stick around 3.
