OK that was a long hiatus, sorry sorry sorry.
But since chapter 8, after reading the reviews I had changed a little bit of my writing styles.
You can't see much in Breathless much you can check out Forever & Always ( Collection of AU oneshot of EreMika)
Now enjoy the long wait. Really sorry.
The plan quickly set off.
Eren, as soon as he had reached the right distance, bit his hand.
The steam came out once again.
He fully transformed this time, not just skull and bones anymore.
Mikasa jumped on a nearby rooftop, attempted to lead Eren to the boulder.
But suddenly, out of nowhere, an arm swung at her.
With her skills, she was able to dodge it, avoided instant dead, but some pieces of broken rooftop flew pass her face.
The scratch under her eye started to bleed.
"Fuck! - She cursed at the out of control boy. "Fuck, we're screw."
She hooked the gear to another building to keep a safe distance.
The rogue titan messed around before hitting itself and felt down.
"Shit!" - The commander of the team said.
Riko shot the smoke gun to give the Mission Failed signal.
"Let's retreat." - The woman said.
"We can't leave him here." - Mikasa refused.
"Not like we can bring him back. He will attack us."
"But still..."
Mikasa argued with the glassed woman for a while, until the commander made his decision, that he and the others would keep the titans away from Eren, and Mikasa would stay to keep an eyes on him.
"Take care of your boyfriend." - He said before leaving.
"He's not -" - Mikasa blushed.
She struggled, not knowing what to do with him. Then she saw Armin trying to get Eren back to mission.
"Useless." - She thought at first. How could you talk to a Titan.
But the moment the titan moved and lifted the boulder on his shoulders, she gasped in surprise.
"He did it...he actually did it..." - She couldn't believe her own eyes.
She snapped herself out of confusion and followed Eren, wiped out the titans around him.
Eren, inside his titan form, caught sight of Mikasa running on the ground.
"Is she suiciding? Or...is she... protecting me?" - He thought in realization. "I...must not fail this mission, I must not. If I do, not only me, but Armin...and Mikasa will get involved...and..."
He stopped his train of thought. An image appeared in his mind. Mikasa covered by blood, blades stabbed in her body.
He didn't know why that image, why blades. Wasn't it suppose to be Titans that killed her?
Blades... It meant...human...human would kill her, not Titans.
"No, no!" He opened his eyes. "I can NOT let that happen. I'll protect her, I must protect her."
He used all of his strength to place the boulder in front of the wall.
A big noise made everyone's hearts skip beats, dust flew everywhere.
"He did it!" - Armin screamed in joy.
"Yeah... Amazing." - Mikasa admired the scene "Truly amazing."
"Let's get him out first!"
Armin and Mikasa ran with all of their energy and reached the titan's neck.
Mikasa cut the burning flesh, and Armin started to pull Eren out.
Suddenly, a huge titan appeared, mouth wide open. To make it worse, behind it, there were two more.
"Fuck!"
It was too sudden that Mikasa could not react right away. And they were on the ground, next to the boulder, no place to hook the gear to escape.
Armin, whose arms were still holding Eren, widened his eyes, his whole body trembled.
"We'll die here?" - Armin thought.
But their fate had not reached the death point yet.
A fast figure flew from nowhere, cut the titan's neck and swung around. He took no time to kill the other two behind as well, then landed on Eren's steaming titan body.
Eren slowly regained his conscious. He caught the sight of the man's flowing green cape.
Most beautiful was the symbol of the Scouting Legion, wings of freedom.
In front of him was humanity strongest solider, no doubt. The famous short but mighty solider.
The middle-aged man slightly turned his head back.
"Kids, explain what is going on-"
He stopped for unknown reason.
Eren and Armin stared at him. Mikasa, also stared at him, but with different eyes.
It was not an admiring stare, not a first-time-meeting stare.
She stared at him in surprise.
"Levi?" - She said, making a guess who he was.
Eren glanced at Mikasa, so did Armin.
The man looked at her, remained silent for a while, then spoke up.
"Mikasa, so we finally meet again."
Eren woke up. He found himself locked in a dungeon, hands and legs were chained.
"What is this..." - He murmured.
"Oh, you're awake."
Eren looked up, seeing a blond-haired man sitting in front of the cell, with a short man standing next to.
"What happened?" - The boy asked.
"I'm Erwin, and this is Levi." - The blonde introduced.
Eren remembered who they were. He had heard about them. He felt honored to be able to meet them, but then again, in a situation like this, his joy went down right away.
"Did the mission succeed?" - The boy asked.
"Unexpectedly, yes." - Levi answered. "You would die if I came late though."
"I see..." - Eren recalled. "Did Mikasa and Armin get hurt?"
"They're fine. Now let's get to the point, shall we?" - Erwin cut in.
Erwin explained the story. Eren would be taken to court, and his life would be decided, to die or to join Scouting Legion.
With the will of Eren, Levi decided he would try to get this brat into his special team.
Levi left the dungeon, he caught sight of a girl waiting for him.
"How's Eren?" - Mikasa asked.
"Fine, not killed anybody yet." - Levi replied.
"More like not get killed yet." - She spoke in sarcasm. "So, about -"
"Save that later. I have to find a way not to let them kill that boy. Court is tomorrow."
"I know. I was asked to be a witness."
"Don't say unnecessary things." - Levi crossed his arms.
"Like what?" - She asked in annoyance. "I know what to say and what not to."
"Good then."
"Mikasa." - She was leaving when she heard her name called. "Remember what I told you? Feelings are just -"
"Hindrance" - She cut in Levi's words. "I remember."
"Really? Cuz you seem to have forgotten it." - Levi left right after finishing his sentence.
Mikasa punched the nearby wall, with all of the strength she had.
"That midget!" - She mumbled, looking down at the ground.
The court came.
The room was silent, Eren was chained up in the middle.
Mikasa stood next to Armin and the previous annoyed-white-haired woman. "What was her name again?" - Mikasa tried to recall. Then the noise of the bumping hammer caught her attention.
"We are here today, to decide the fate of Eren Jaeger, who was reported to have a strange power that could effect mankind future." - The head judge said.
There were only two options: go kill or get killed.
She hoped Levi would make a move soon, but he didn't.
"It is written here, when you turned into a titan, you tried to kill soldier Mikasa. Are you sure you can control this power?"
"I tried to kill Mikasa?!"
Eren stared at Mikasa. His body trembled.
"I tried to kill Mikasa? I tried to kill her? I'm a monster..."
He fought with his inner self. Should he give up and just get killed? Because if he couldn't control it, he would end up killing everyone.
And especially, Mikasa! He swore to protect her, yet he could have killed her.
Mikasa glanced at the white-haired woman.
"Bitch, I told you not to report that." - Mikasa thought, looking at the woman with a death stare.
"Lying won't help him." - The woman told her, avoiding the scary stare.
"Court, if it counts, he saved me 2 times before in his titan forms." - Mikasa returned to face the judge. "I own him two lives. So-"
"Don't listen to her! She's lying to help him!"
A familiar voice cut in. It came from a rich man that Mikasa scared the shit out of when he blocked the gate with his full-stock horse cart.
So probably now, he wanted to revenge.
"Kill them both!" - The old man continued shouting. "They are all threats to mankind!'
"God made human and titans. God made the wall to protect us. That boy right there is not human, not a titan. He should be killed to prevent any future consequences."- A priest said. "He dared to change fate, to fill the holy wall with filthy rock. An insult to God."
"Just kill them both!"
Eren, who couldn't stay silence longer, spoke up.
"I may be a monster but Mikasa has nothing to do with this!"
Mikasa widened her eyes.
"And what do you know about Titans! Have you even seen them before?! Have you?! Don't talk like you know everything, because you don't. You guys are just cowards who live like caged animal behind the walls!"
"Stop, Eren! Stop!" - She thought, wanting to run down and shut him up, but she knew she couldn't.
"You guys say it's wrong for me to block the hole of the wall and fucking protect you, but it's right for titans to destroy it?" - He continued.
"Stop Eren! If you say more they'll kill you. Stop!" - Mikasa's mind was sunk in despair.
Suddenly, Eren's head twisted, a tooth flew out. Next to him was Levi, who just sent a kick to Eren's face.
Then Levi continued on beating Eren. Bruises started to appear, blood was coming out.
Mikasa stood in silence, her eyes never left Eren. She felt a slight ache in her heart somehow.
"Must be painful." - She thought, watching Eren suffering.
But she understood this is what Levi must do. He already told her.
And everything went as planned. Eren was allowed to join the Scouting Legion.
Mikasa sighed in relief.
Like a weigh lifted in her heart.
Urghhh I don't remember exactly what they said so I just wing it. Make up the lines myself.
It may sound stupid and unreasonable :cry:
My writing is still somewhat weird, I'll try my best to improve.
It's not my native language and I don't take extra English class.
Thank you for reading.
