Oh and to "your biggest fan" / "your best fan", Chapter 16 will have more romance than this one.
She saw Eren, tied to Bertholdt back.
"Eren!" - She cried in joy. She missed him, she missed him so badly that saving him was the only thing in her mind.
Then she saw his burning limbs.
"I'll fucking kill them!"
She shot the gear to Eren. It was a half-hearted decision that she didn't realize a titan right behind her.
It grabbed her as she widened her eyes. Eren stared in horror.
"Mikasa!" - He wanted to scream but the fabric in his mouth blocked it.
The titan squeezed her tightly and pain was all over her face. Eren watched as if his own heart was being stabbed.
Then Jean appeared, cutting the flesh of the titan. It cried out in pain and released Mikasa.
Eren sighed in relief. He knew he owned Jean so much right now.
Armin appeared soon after that.
Eren couldn't believe in his own ears. Because Armin said such scary, horrible words about Annie's capture.
He said so confidently and Eren believed every word, and he could tell Bertholdt and Reiner believed it too.
"You fucking morons!" - Bertholdt shouted. This young man liked Annie after all.
And in his impulse moment, Bertholdt's chest was cut by Erwin, whose one arm had been bit off.
The strings was cut and Eren felt down. Mikasa, although with her bones broken hard, tried her best to swing through and caught Eren.
She held him tight as they rolled down on the ground.
"Retreat!" - Erwin ordered seeing Eren taken back.
The legion quickly changed the directions of their horses. Reiner pissed off as he started to throw titans towards them.
More and more people were killed.
Mikasa tried to get Eren to her horse, but her broken bones stopped her. She became helpless and she cursed herself for that.
She turned around and saw Eren, eyes widening, looking at a certain titan.
That titan had blond hair, thin and tall. And it hit her mind.
It was the titan that ate Eren's mom, as he had told her.
She drew out her blades but soon realized she couldn't fight in this condition.
"Mikasa! You can't fight like that! Cut my tie!" - Eren shouted.
Mikasa cut the tie on Eren's arms. She realized his arms and legs were still steaming and he couldn't fight like this.
"We're going to die." - She thought, looking around and seeing everyone had their own problems to care.
The titan moved closer, and by instinct, she lied on top of him and shielded him with her own body.
"Mikasa, what are you doing!" - He looked at her.
"At least one of us has to live. And you're humanity last hope!"
"There's no point in my living if you die!"
The titan lowered his hand, attempted to grab its prey.
But Hannes showed up just in time and cut the titan's hand.
"Stay back kids! I'll handle it."
"Hannes-san!" - Eren was surprised at the man's appearance.
"This is my chance to fix my mistake!"
He attacked the titan non-stop. But Mikasa could tell, he would fail.
And when he did, the titan would turn back to her and Eren.
"This is...our last moment." - She thought.
And she turned to Eren, gently took his hands.
"Eren...there's something I have to tell you."
Eren, who one second ago just saw Hannes being eaten by that disgusting titan, turned his face to Mikasa. His eyes were full of tears.
"I'm...powerless. I couldn't save you, I couldn't save Hannes. I'm useless..." - He muttered.
"Eren. Listen. You're not useless."
"I am!"
"Just listen to me... Thank you...for teaching me...how to live..." - She sobbed "For giving me hope, warmth, and...love..."
He looked at her, unknown what to said. Her face was so haunting that to him, the world seemed like it was dying.
She leaned closer.
"And most of all...thank you for wrapping this scarf around me..." - She grabbed her scarf tightly as if, the worse case, if she died, she wanted to die with it.
He got all figured out.
This was not time for him to be a fucking coward like this.
Even with his legs still burned, he used all his strength to stand up.
"It's just a scarf." - He said "I'll wrap it around you anytime you want."
His arms and legs suddenly healed right away.
"Because...from today forward...We'll be together forever!"
He half-hearted punched the titan with his own hand. The small fist obviously didn't give the titan a single scratch.
"Thank you Eren...even if I die here...I'm still happy." - She thought and smiled.
The titan shoved the boy away and aimed for the girl.
His entire body felt numb. He tried to stand up but it hurt so fucking much.
He glanced and saw Armin holding Jean threatened by a titan, struggling on the ground. And screams of horror, some could be last words of his fellow companions.
All of those scared him.
But not as much as the scene in front of him. Mikasa trembled before that blond titan.
He swore to protect her, damn it. And he swore to tear that titan into pieces.
Now, he seemed to unable to do both.
Tears were on Mikasa's face as she turned to look at him as if it was the last time.
Then she closed her eyes.
"ARGHHHHH!"
The shout shocked her. Her eyes shot wide open.
Eren, standing there, arms and legs fully healed, with a death stare, looked at the titan in an anger that no words could describe.
Suddenly titans from everywhere came and fought the blond one.
All the titans left the weak human preys and started to beat the shit out of the blonde, til the point that its body was just small pieces and took no time to dispose.
"The fuck just happened..." - She stared at the scene.
"That isn't important now. Get on my back. We're retreating." - Eren ran to her side.
"Are you sure you can ..."
"Yes. Get on."
She wrapped her legs around his torso and he held her thighs tightly. He started to run and stopped when he found a horse.
He gently, but hurriedly, placed her onto the horse, then turned back to check the legion.
He sighed in relief seeing Armin and Jean got on a horse, so did Connie and Krista.
The Armored started to throw titans at their direction to stop everyone from retreating.
"Fuck!" - Mikasa cursed "Eren, we can't let him continue!"
"I know. Let me think-"
"Use that what-so-ever power!"
"I don't even know what is it about!"
"We'll find out that later. Just try. We got nothing to lose now."
He looked down in hesitation.
Then he felt her hands placed on his. He looked up and saw a small smile on her face.
He couldn't resist it now.
"Fine." - He growled and took his hands out of hers.
"Titans! Listen to me! Attack the Armored Titan! I repeat, ATTACK THE ARMORED TITAN!"
The titans changed their aim right away and started eating the Armored Titan.
"It works!" - He couldn't believe.
"I told you so."
"Retreat!" - Erwin ordered.
"Let's go!" - Eren said and climbed up the horse.
Mikasa hugged Eren tightly from behind as he rode the horse.
She lied her head on his firm back.
"I'm glad..." - She mumbled.
"Connie, Krista! Where's Ymir?"
"She came back to Reiner. I don't know why." - Krista said.
"That fucking traitor." - Eren murmured.
"Hey! She's not!" - The blond girl grunted at Eren.
"Eren, about that power..." - Armin wondered.
"Save that later. Let's get out of here first."
"Ok..."
I tried my best. sorry if it's... boring? I don't know I never think my writing is good enough.
anyway, thank you so so so so so so much for for 40+ reviews, 70+ followers, 12000 views and 50+ favorites. I love you all so much. You guys are the reason why I can beat the sleepiness and write. my phone is pretty shitty and play much games, but I'm glad I can write there. I carried my phone everywhere and write and write.
So as I said I will be busy next week but I'll try to update asap. Since I'm a reader myself, it's really frustrating to see fics not updated, I mean like my Alert Story list is so long but many of them just not update at all. wait everyday for a new chapter.
If you guys have time and want to read something until I update, check Born To Die by atinsybitlost , The Assassins of Yggdrassil of , and stories from deathmakesapoet and HighQueen ( though I think they are already famous, no need me to recommend).
well that's it. have a nice week.
