Alright guys, it's time for another chapter of my Attack on Titan fanfic. I am so sorry for not updating sooner but I was really into my other story that I'm working on because a lot of people seemed to like it, haha. I mean, a lot of people seem to like this one but it's harder to write if you know what I mean. But yeah, I really want people to review! I have 23 followers for this story so I would like 23 reviews please! If I do, the next chapter will come out sooner. So here is the story and thanks for reading guys!
Ch. 10
(Robina's POV)
The plan has begun and all of the cadets get onto the lift. Mikasa and I get on the rafters and get ready for the plan to go in place. As I wait, my gloved hands begin to sweat under the brown leather. I don't know why I'm nervous. I've killed lots of Titans, maybe even hundreds. But I guess it's the sheer fact that everyone's lives are in stake here. If we fail, everybody dies.
The lift begins to descend into the room and the cadets get their attention. The Titans began to walk towards them, every step matching my fastening heartbeat. The cadets stood there and my arms began to shake. The Titans stopped right in front of the cadets and then the shooting began. The bullets were flown from their firearms in a second to none and blasted through the Titan's eyesight. Now was our chance.
"Now!"
I yelled as I took out my Titan, slashing the nape of his neck. I looked to my right to see a domino effect as the other cadets took out their Titans, one at a time. But then when it came to Sasha and Connie, they missed their mark. They fell to the ground and the Titans gave their attention to them. My eyes widened and my legs began to move but Mikasa was closer and got there first. She killed the first Titan and Annie killed the second Titan. I gave a sigh of relief and crouched down. Everyone started to cheer and I couldn't help but smile at the success of Armin's plan. I stood up straight and put my hand on his shoulder,
"See, I told you it would work. Great job!"
He blushed and smiled at me.
"Thanks Robina, I'm just glad everyone is okay and breathing. Now let's hurry up and get some gas in our tanks."
I nodded and began refueling my tank. Just the feeling that you didn't have to worry about your gas running out anymore was awesome. Once fueled, I stand up straight and address everyone.
"Alright guys, since we are all fueled up and all of the civilians are in the safety of the inner wall, we should probably start heading there too. Try to avoid a Titan as much as possible; we don't need to lose more cadets."
They all nodded and we started to head out of HQ. We all began to fly through the air and everything seemed okay. Mikasa flies right next to me and slightly nudges my arm. I look at her and she nods her head in a certain direction. I turn my head to see the rogue Titan pinned down my a few Titans. I gasp as I realize that I had forgotten all about the rogue Titan. Mikasa and I land on the nearest roof and so do some of the other cadets. Jean walks over to us with a confused expression.
"That rogue Titan there. It helped us on our way to HQ and never attacked us. I really think we should help it get back on its feet and use him to our advantage. It could really help us with the other Titans and how they work."
Jean blinked but then got into an angry stare,
"What!? Are you out of your fucking mind!? That thing is a Titan. A Titan killed a lot of our friends, even Eren…"
I gasp at the name and then look away with a saddened face. Jean's eyes widen and then he touches my arm softly,
"I'm sorry; I know I shouldn't have said that."
I take a deep breath and then give him an 'it's ok' smile. Annie walks towards us this time and sides with Mikasa,
"I agree with Mikasa. It could be a potential ally if we aid it now."
Armin's eyes widen and he points at the Rogue Titan. His arms were off but he was using his mouth as the next best weapon. He grabbed a hold of the Titan's neck and then flings it to the side to kill the other Titans surrounding him. Jean snorts and leans on one leg,
"Are you sure he needs help?"
I giggle a bit at his remark but then turn my head at the rogue Titan as he gives a long loud roar. He falls to the ground after and we all just stared at it, not saying anything. Jean begins to leave but I grab ahold of his wrist and he grunts. I point toward the rogue Titan as a figure begins to emerge from the nape of its neck. I squint my eyes at the figure but can't seem to figure out who it is by all of the smoke. The smoke begins to clear up and I can see the figure clearly now. My legs began to move on its own as my breathing as stopped and my heart beats. I had to be dreaming! I had to be because it was Eren….The Eren who had got eaten after protecting Armin from certain death. But I just had to get close to him. As long as I can see him…..I land on the ground and realize that Mikasa got there as fast as I did. We both run over to him and crouch down. We both look at each other with widened eyes and no words can make it out of our mouths. But I find the one word that matters,
"Heartbeat….."
She nods with shaking muscles and we both put our heads to his chest. There was silence for a second but then there it was.
Boom boom…..boom boom…..
We both grab ahold of him and start to cry. The only difference is that my cries were long and silent and Mikasa's were short and loud. I never imagined that she would show this emotion but I was too happy to care. I tightened my grip on his chest and rest my head there, listening to his on-going heartbeat. He was alive. That's all that mattered. This had to be a sign. A sign that gave me another chance to tell him how I feel. But now that I had lost him and now have him back again, that feeling has grown even stronger. The others quickly followed and just stared at us as we cried our hearts out, our tears hitting Eren's soft skin gently. Armin walked over to us and grabbed his hand, crying as well. The group was back together and we all knew that Eren was a central part of it. I stopped crouching and just leaned down, leaning on his leg. His leg? I looked down to see that both of his legs and his arms were attached. I looked at Armin through my blurry vision and it seemed that he recognized the same thing. Jean stared at us in shock but then looked at all of the Titans Eren had destroyed.
"So…..Eren did all of this?"
None of us answered as we relieved our happiness on the boy. A few minutes later, a huge group of soldiers surrounds us and I began to get worried. Jean, Annie, and the others decide to leave the group to us and catch up with the other cadets. I look up for a second before looking down again at Eren's words. He was muttering something. It sounded like,
"I'll kill you."
My head snapped back in surprise and he opened his eyes slowly. His eyes wander from me to the group of soldiers in front of us. They all began to mutter something but I just ignored them. I brought my head to Eren's neck and kept it there for the warmth. He slowly put his hand on my back and started to talk,
"Robina…what's going on?"
I leaned back and looked into his eyes.
"I don't know. They all just surrounded us."
I turned around to see Captain Woerman. I glared at him and he glared back with his beard swaying with the wind a bit.
"What is the meaning of this? Why are you helping him!?"
I stood up and yelled at the commander I had known and hated.
"Because he is our friend and you misunderstand him!"
His gaze never left us.
"Is that so!? Then Cadet Eren Yeager, I will give you a choice. You can sit there, not moving an inch, and prove to me that your one of us. Or I can fire the cannons and kill all of you…!"
Eren nods slightly and waits for his first question.
"Are you a Human or a Titan!?"
Eren tilted his head at the Captain.
"What do you mean?"
I could see the Captain was running out of patience by the grim look on his face.
"There were numerous witnesses that saw you coming out of the Titan, which in effect, makes you the enemy. So answer carefully because I'm considering I should kill you, now that you're in human form."
Mikasa steps forward and yells,
"If you harm him, I will kill you! And it won't be a fast death!"
One of the soldiers right next to Woerman leans to his ear and tells him some information on us.
"Sir, That girl is Mikasa Ackerman. She was at the top of her cadet class and it would be a horrible loss if she died here. The girl behind her is…"
"I know who SHE is. She is the daughter of commander Shadis and is the only soldier who can take out a Titan with a single gunshot. Her skills rival up to that of Scout leader Levi. But if she helps the boy then I have no choice. Now I'm going to ask again, are you human or a Titan!"
I turn to Eren again and give him a look that said, 'be careful with your answer.' He slowly nods and gives thought to his answer. I put my hand on his hand and he blushes slightly, giving me a reassuring smile.
"I'm Human!"
He yells at the top of his lungs. Everyone went quiet as we waited for the Captains response but he just seemed to be staring at the ground. There was no telling what this man would do, he was mentally unstable but only a few people knew that. I just hoped that his brain was giving him positive signals. He lifted his head and started to yell again.
"Cannon's ready!"
My eyes go wide and I stand up quickly. Mikasa follows my action and picks up Armin. We both start to push the boys and both yelled frantically,
"Go! Go! Go!"
The Captain lifts his arm up and then drops it for the last time,
"Fire!"
And that is the end of the chapter. Ugh….I started like at 10 in the morning and now it's 2 in the afternoon. I told you guys it was hard to write this story but I just have to stick with it and not give up on it. If I do that, then I am a quitter and I'm not a quitter! It would really help if you guys reviewed more and told me how to feel about the story. Those who have reviewed are awesome and everyone should follow your example! Well that's it for me and tune in next time for the next chapter of The Commander's Daughter!
