Chapter 6
"Wait, so your saying that there's giant pools of water?" He asked. "Yep! And there huge!" Armin replied back, excited. "No. Your kidding." His friend said back, crossing his arms. "No, I'm really mean it Eren!" Armin said. "Armin!" Armin mum called. "Sorry I have to go. I'll tell you about it tomorrow!" Armin said getting up and runnig off to him mum. "Bye Armin!" Eren called.
Armin woke with a start, as usual. What was he dreaming about? He then sat up and rubbed his eyes, clearing the sleep from them. He then heard a distant "Hey!" Armin looked around in confusion. "Heeeeeeeey!" "HEY!" Armin then looked up and saw 3 figures peering over the edge. There was a, apprently, a buff man, a tall man, and a cat. "Can you hear us?" the taller man yeliing asked. "Yes!" Armin called back. "Can you wake up Hat Boy!" Annie yelled. Armin got up and went over to Eren and leaned down next to him. Then he shook him. "Eren." He said in a almost soft voice. "I'm awake." He mumbled and pulled himself up. Armin then stood up next to Eren. Annie then, being the reality bender she is, flicked her tail at the ground and the area Armin and Eren were standing on was disconnected from the ground.
When the chunk of ground Eren and Armin were standing on, came to level with the ground Annie was standing on. Eren stepped off the rock and Armin followed. "Ahem." Annie cleared her thought. "Oh, thank you Annie." Armin thanked her. Annie smirked again. "Pfft. Cat." Eren mumbled. "Anyway Armin. This is Reiner." Eren continued, gesting to the buff man. "He's a scientist. Or so he says." Eren said. He also laughed under his breath. "And this is Bertholdth. He's a shape shifter." Eren continued, gestering to the taller man. Berholdth mumbled a hello, and started sweating. "Hello there Armin! You must be the new Alice. Pleasure to meet ya." Reiner said, which almost sounded like he was yelling. He then held out his hand to Armin. Armin returned the shake, but Reiner had brute strength, a probably didn't realize it, and almost crushed the poor boy's hand. After the handshake ended, Armin rubbed his hand.
"So I've seen you've met Annie yes?" Reiner asked. Armin nodded. "Unforuantly, he has." Eren mumbled. Annie then picked up a rock and threw it at Eren. "Ow." Eren growled. Annie just hissed back. There was an awkward slience until thunder cracked in the sky. Reiner cleared his throat and said. "So I guess we should get out of the coming rain." Armin nodded and whispered a sure. "Then we'll go to were me and Bert live." Reiner said. "You gonna join us Eren?" Reiner asked. "No. I have...Something, I need to do." He replied, nervously. Reiner looked shock. "Oh okay." He said. Armin looked over a Eren, almost like he was begging him not to go, for he just met Reiner and Bert and Eren was the only sane person there, at the moment. Eren looked away, not wanting to deal with gulit.
"Well we'd best get going." Bert (Yes he's going to be known as Bert from now on) said. Bert, Annie, and Armin began walking away, with Reiner about catch up with them. But Eren grabbed Reiner's arm. "Listen Reiner." Eren said, with a threat tone in his voice. "If Annie, or anyone else hurts Armin while he's with you. I will make you pay. Mark. My. Words." Eren threaten. Reiner felt a chill you down his spine. Eren was dead serious and he could tell. "Okay." Reiner replied, trying to keep a steady tone. "Good." Eren said, he let go of Reiner's armin then walked into the forest. "What a creep. But Armin's just another Alice. Why does he care about him?" Reiner said out loud to himself. "You coming or what?" Annie yelled. "Oh yeah, I'm coming." Reiner answered, running to Annie and the others.
After a little while of walking, they finally came to what seemed to be a labortory. "What's this?" Armin asked. "It's me and Bert's labortory. Or out home." Reiner said. They walked inside the bulid. "So, what do you guys do here?" Armin asked. "Oh ya know, chemistry, sometimes if were lucky, experiments." Reiner said. Armin looked confused. "Experiment on what?" He askd. "O-Oh ya know. Making medicines and such," Reiner nervously said. Armin narrowed his eyes at Reiner in suspision. "What?" Reiner asked. "Nothing." Armin mumbled and looked away. "Sorry." He said. "It's okay." Reiner laughed. "You wouldn't be the first to be suspicsous of us." He continued. Reiner smiled at Armin and Armin returned the smile witha nervous one.
"And this is were you'll be sleeping tonight." Reiner said. They were inside a small room with a bed in the corner. "Oh. Tonight? You don't have to give me shelter." Armin said. "Nah it's fine. Plus, I suppose there's no where else for you to go anyway right?" Reiner asked. Armin thought about it for a moment and realized, he didn't have anywhere else to go. He wasn't sure about where Marco lived. The Red Kingdom seems to dangerous, with Kirchstein running around. "Yeaaahhh no." Armin mumbled. "That's what I thought." Reiner laughed. Then, Armin blacked out.
