Ch. 5
I don't know why everyone was so surprised that Eren was joining the scouting legion. I mean, that was what he was going for in the first place. The look of determination in his eyes should be enough to not even ask but the cadets did, of course. I looked over to see Jean sitting there, looking all blue. I smiled a little bit and sat across from him. He looked at me but still kept his palm on his chin.
"Alright Jean, what's wrong?"
He looked away and blushed a little.
"Nothing."
"Mmmmhmmm, and do you think I believe that?"
He gave me a shocked look and I giggled at him.
"We've been here for three years and you're still shocked at my straightforwardness."
He huffed and took a sip of his mug.
"How, in god's name, did I get ranked under Eren? Tsk!"
I nodded and leaned on the table.
"Ahh…so that's why you're pissed. Listen Jean, training is over and so the rankings so really matter anymore. You made the military police and you're the best of the best. So just forget about it, okay."
He smiled a little and nodded.
"Are you insane!?"
Everyone turned to the crowd surrounding Eren.
"How many people have died!? We're talking a fifth of the population here! If that doesn't paint a picture for you, I don't know what does. This is our life now. We can't beat them."
Everyone stayed silent until I stood up from my chair and made my way to the crowd.
"Yeah? So what!?"
I could feel the sense of Eren making a scene. I stepped in quickly and spoke for him.
"If we don't believe we can beat these bastards, then we can't! They aren't like five years ago when we barely knew anything about them. We've made progress and we shouldn't let that go away with false hope. Besides, you'll have me on your scouting team as well."
The cadets gasped and went silent except for the blonde in front of me.
"But…..you're a commanding officer! What about that, huh!?"
I waved him off.
"You do know I'm the same age as a lot of you. My Dad trained me to fight Titans and that's what I'm going to do! If I die…then…..that's life."
They all just stood there with wide eyes. I walked to the front door and turned around to face them.
"Tonight's the final night I will say this to you cadets and might even be the last time we see each other. But I just want to say…..that…I've loved every minute of it. I've never made friends like you all before and I know I have been harsh on you during training. And I'm sorry for that. I never knew what having friends was like until you all came and I am thankful for all of you who stuck with me throughout the years…..So the last thing I'm going to say is…goodnight."
I said with tears forming in my eyes. They all stared at me with a shocked expression and I couldn't take the gaze anymore. I flipped my hair and walked out of the mess hall for the final time. I walked outside, into the clear sky night, and looked up. The stars burned with as much passion I had. The comets soared through the sky with a trail left behind them. I looked towards the wall and smiled,
"Wall Rose, here I come!"
The next day was my day to scout the walls of Wall Rose. I was a little nervous but at least I would see Eren there. If I go with my gut, Armin and Mikasa will be there too. They always follow him. But today was the last day in my dorm and I had really grown to love it. I looked in the mirror for a few minutes and just stared.
"This is you…..This is for Mom…..You made her a promise…"
I shook my head and brought together my lengthy blonde hair into my usual ponytail with green ribbon on top. I opened my front door and turned around. The room was dark without me there. It looked like it wanted me to stay but I couldn't so I shut the door for the last time.
I made my way to town square to see a huge crowd greeting the returning scout regiment. I looked for my best friends and found them, not too far ahead. I ran to them and greeted them.
"Hey guys! How's it going!?"
Eren turned to me and smiled,
"It's great! It's like the crowd just as a different energy now!"
I smiled and nodded.
"Well we are going on five years without incident. Seems like a good omen,"
Said a ginger right next to us. The guy beside her smiled,
"You should check out the cannon upgrades! This side, alone, will be enough to scare them off!"
"That's the truth!"
I looked at them suspiciously. They were hiding something but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was like they were a….
"You're in denial because you're a couple, what's that about!?"
I smiled as Eren spoke my thoughts. The ginger just denied it furiously and the guy just blushed, hehe. I decided to join the fun.
"Soooo when you guys going to….you know…..get it on?"
They both denied furiously this time and Eren and I smirked. I looked to see my father waving at me to come to him. I turned to Eren and Armin,
"Hey, I need to go talk to my Father, so I will meet you guys on the wall."
They just smiled and waved at me as I left them. I ran to my Dad and he smiled. I hadn't noticed that I was almost as tall as him now.
"Look at my little girl, all grown up."
"I'm not little girl anymore, Dad. I'm going to kick those Titan's asses!"
He just smirked and gave me a hug.
"Your Mother would be proud of you, Robina. You did all of this for her and you never gave up."
I could feel the tears well up in my eyes and I looked up at him.
"I'm not just doing this for her. I'm doing this for all of us. And I'm not going to let you and Mom down, as long as I live."
He looked at me with a 'proud' look and patted my back.
"I know you will. Now get to the wall or you will be late. You can't let your teammates down, can you?"
I shook my head and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Love you, Dad."
"Love you too, Robina."
I walked away from the man who had trained me for this very moment. The moment that I would become a member of the scouting regiment and kick some Titan ass! I practically ran to the wall and never stopped. It was like a flowing energy that was built inside me just let itself opn up in my veins and I was thankful for it. The stairs we're a bitch though….I kind of just walked/jogged up the stairs because that son of a bitch is fifty meters high! I'm sure even Eren just walked up them, as well. I made my way to the top and just tried to catch my breath. I looked around to see Connie cleaning the dust out of a cannon. I kind of shrieked a little bit but walked over to him. He didn't notice me and I leaned to his ear.
"Soooo little Connie decided to join the scouts?"
He jumped and looked at me with a frightened face. He went down to his knees and brought his hands together.
"Please don't bring that name up again! It took me two years to make it disappear! And yeah I am joining the scouts."
I smirked and patted his shaved head.
"Good for you, Con."
He just glared at me and went back to cleaning the inside of the cannon. I saw a lot of my friends on the wall and it really relieved my nervousness. I saw Eren and grinned a wide smile. I ran and gave him a tight hug and he returned it. I always wanted to do that! His warmth was so inviting and it brushed against my soft skin. I didn't want to let go but it would be awkward if I didn't….I looked to see that he was blushing and I giggled.
"I'm…g-glad too see you here, Robina."
He said, but cursed himself for stuttering.
"It's glad to see you here, Eren. Especially when you're blushing, hehe."
He blushed a even darker red and started waving his face. I just laughed and punched him in the arm playfully.
"So guys, Connie said he was joining the scouts!"
Said Mina. I grinned a little bit but decided to not bring back the nickname he had for those awful two years.
"Yep, I didn't think he would do it. Because….."
Mina caught my drift and laughed hard while Eren just stared at me, confused. I laughed and pointed to my crotch. He went 'oh' and laughed with us.
"Good thing you don't have that problem, Eren?
I said with a flirtatious tone. He blushed and looked away from me.
"It's not like he's the only one."
We turned to see Reiner standing there and blushing.
"Are you serious!? Oh my gosh!"
I ran and hugged Reiner. He just blushed and didn't have the courage to hug me back. I smiled at him but noticed a figure behind him. It was Sasha and she was bending over with something in her hand.
"Can you guys keep a secret!?"
We all looked at her in confusion.
"Because I totally just helped myself to the officer's pantry."
We all gasped in disbelief and I banged my head on Eren's shoulder as he yelled,
"Sasha! They could throw your but in the dungeon for that!"
"Seriously! What is wrong with you!?"
"What isn't wrong with her?"
I stopped banging my head and walked to her. Everyone looked at me weird and I waved them off.
"It's okay! I steal from my Dad's pantry all the time!"
They smiled but had a 'scared' face. I turned to my right to see Sasha drooling and hyperventilating. I screamed and ran back over to Eren and Mina. Sasha put the meat in the crate in front of us and I glared at the guy across from me. He looked like he needed to say something.
"I would really like a slice please!"
"Hey if he gets one, so do I!"
So that's that guy, Connie and…Mina…ugh…..
"Me too! I want one too!"
Eren and I just looked at each other and stared at the group in disbelief. They all just suddenly got back to work and left us hanging. Bastards….
"See you guys at lunch time."
Said Mina as she left the two of us alone. I picked at the dirt with my boot a little and he grabbed my hand.
"It's finally here, Robina. The time when we take back what was ours and hold our own."
I blushed as his hand touched my gloved one. I nodded.
"Yeah…And we're going to this together no matter what. We can do this."
He blushed and it looked like he was about to ask me something when a flash of light appeared behind us. We turned around slowly to see the Colossal Titan just staring at us. None of us could move because of shock. Eren and I finally gasped and steam pushed us off the wall. That steam was fucking hot; I'm not going to lie. I screamed and brought my 3d Gear back up to the wall. One of the scouts fell and I screamed.
"Sasha, he's falling!"
Sasha's training kicked in and she started running down the wall. She shot out a wire and it just barely made its way to the scout's leg. I sighed in relief and looked to Eren.
"That was way too close."
He looked as frightened as I was but we became even more frightened as we looked down. There was a giant hole in the wall, just like Wall Maria.
"What the hell!? Not again!"
All I could hear was Connie's screams,
"Their gonna get in! Their gonna get in! Their gonna get in!"
I looked to the Colossal Titan's face and suddenly remembered my mom getting eaten. I looked to the other cadets and yelled.
"This is no time for panic! Let's just focus on getting the colossal bastard while we still have a chance!"
I looked to Eren and he nodded.
"This is it, people! Do or die!"
We grabbed our swords in unison and made our way up the wall. We flew up in the air in opposite directions and landed on the wall. Him on the right side, me on the left side. The Titan looked at me as if he knew me and then at Eren.
"You…..It's been a while…."
This was it! This was our chance to kill the Colossal Titan, once and for all.
I wander what my Dad is thinking about right now…..
