Alright, I thought I might make another chapter of the Commander's Daughter because I had a little time before I had to leave Atlanta….sooo I'm like at the Airport and people keep looking at what I'm doing o I'm trying to type fast so they don't get the satisfaction lol. But yeah I realize that since I'm pretty much going exactly by the show, I thought I might change up some of the things that happen in the show and put my own little thing in there because of my OC. But keep reviewing! I love you guy's reviews and love that more people are following the story everyday…..and a special thanks for those who have given me ideas for my stories and have given me the confidence to go the whole distance. And finally, thanks for reading!
Ch. 11
(Robina's POV)
I got up from my stance and instantly grabbed Eren's wrist, trying not to lose him again. His face was a blank and I yanked it once more. My eyes went wide when he wouldn't move an inch and Mikasa had to help me.
"Eren! Go!"
He looked up at me and then threw his wrist from my grip, making me rub my hand and look at him with a confused look.
"Wait!"
He yelled at us as he looked to the left of us to see the cannons about to fire. I grabbed his jacket and began shaking it,
"No damn it! I can't lose you again! Get your ass up and let's run! Now Eren!"
He got out of my grasp again and then suddenly bites down on his hand, bringing a tiny bit of blood. I bring my head back a little, swaying my blond hair to both sides, and back away. Smoke blew up in Mikasa, Armin, and I's faces with no warning. I brought my arms to my face to block the coming pressure but was surprised that it wasn't that hot. I heard the cannon fire and I thought that that was it. It was over. At least I was with the group of friends I had had since I was about ten. I waited for about twenty seconds before I opened my eyes. I expected to see Jesus but I was met with the sight of Mikasa and Armin beside me. My eyes widened,
"Where did the cannonball go?"
They shrugged and looked to their sides. The smoke was still there so I don't think the surrounding soldiers could see us just yet. They were probably just as surprised as I was at the moment. I looked above my head to see a bony ribcage and a skull that would scare the shit out of anybody. The Skeleton started to try to move and I got on my knees. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn around quickly.
"Robina, Mikasa, Armin! Are you guys alright!?"
We all nod and I stand up slowly. He put his hand down and gives us an explanation.
"The basement of our house, back in Shiganshina, is the answer to everything! I think that has something to do with all of this."
We all look at each other as if he was crazy and look back at him,
"What the hell are you talking about Eren?"
He shakes his head and begins to walk to the end of the skeleton.
"There is something wrong with me and I have to find the reason for that. For now on, I'll be on my own. I can't put you three in danger any more than I already have. So I'm leaving now."
Mikasa grabs his shirt and pulls him back.
"Eren, there is no way in hell we're going to just leave you alone. I can't believe you would even say that. We all love you Eren and will stay with you for the long run. You're not leaving us and that's final."
"But…"
"No! We'll find a way out of this!"
Armin yells. Eren gasp and then stops talking. He looks at me and I can't tell myself to look at him. I can't believe what I am hearing right now. I just now found out that the boy I have liked for two years is alive again and now wants to be alone. He wants to be alone all by himself. I had noticed my thoughts and tried to comfort me but Mikasa put his hands down.
"Not now, Eren. Later."
She whispered. I was about to say something to them but Eren beat me to it.
"Well, there's only two ways that we're going to do this. I can either run away and go on alone…..or….If you can convince the soldiers that I am human and on their side, I'll stay."
He said to Armin. Armin's eyes widen and he stood up.
"But why are you asking me? I'm just a burden to all of you guys. You three are the best the cadets had to offer and I wasn't even able to make top 10 in training. I'm not a soldier so you shouldn't rely on me for this!"
"Armin! If it wasn't for you, we would have been devoured by Titans five years ago! We have never seen you as a burden, only a friend that we can always rely on when we are in a difficult situation. And that difficult situation is now so we all need your help if we're going to survive this."
I nodded my head at Armin to say that Eren was telling the truth and his eyes widened once more. He looked down at his hands and then back at us.
"Okay…..I will try to convince them."
And with that, he walks out of the smoke, leaving us to hope for his brain to get us out of this. I glance at Eren and go to sit beside him. He looks at me and I glance at him every few seconds. I could see that he was looking at my red wrist and he started to frown.
"Robina, I'm so sorry for hurting your wrist."
I look at him and then back at my wrist. I had forgotten about the whole incident where he threw his wrist out of my grasp. It was such a little thing to apologize for. He put his hands on mine and began to rub them slowly. I just stared down at my gloved hands as he rubbed them, liking the feeling of his skin again.
"It's okay…..but that's not what I'm mad about…"
He stopped rubbing and gave my hands a little squeeze. I looked at him to see his usual look of determination.
"Then why are you mad at me? I know you are…."
How was I going to say this without crying? The thing is, I really couldn't…..let's just hope he doesn't notice my tears,
"I'm mad because you made me think you were dead. You died right in front of me and I was so angry! I went on a rampage and killed all of the Titans I could. I never stopped thinking about you when I did this and now you're here like it never happened!"
His eyes brightened as they saw my upcoming tears,
"Why would you do that!? Why would you tease me like that!? Why did you leave and make me worry!? Why!?"
Tears began to fall down my face and I was screaming at him now, pounding my fist on his chest. He just sat there and let me express all of my emotions I still had bottled up. I stopped pounding on his chest and looked at the tears hitting the ground. They fell like the rain, fast and in order. I stopped screaming now and the brother and sister looked at me like they knew what I was feeling. I started talking again but in almost a whisper,
"You are one of my best friends….One of the first friends I ever had…..And if I lost you again….I don't know what I would…."
It was quiet, other than the faint shouting of Armin. He grabbed my shoulders and I looked up at him. He gave me a look I had never seen before.
"I promise…..I will never ever do that again….I'm sorry…"
I didn't know what to say to his words. I just stared at him with blurry eyes, my hair not moving at all. I expected him to do something but he just gave me the same look of care. I shook my head and brought my face to the crook of his neck,
"That's all…..I wanted to hear…"
Was all I said. He brought his hands close to the small of my back and we stayed like that. I realized that he wasn't going to move until I did but I knew I wouldn't. I just needed to stay like this, hugging him with all of my anger gone. For some reason, I could feel Mikasa give a slight smile as she watched us.
"I know this is all what we needed. But we still need to convince these soldiers that you are innocent Eren."
She said. I pulled away slowly and wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. Armin's got this. He's smart and dependable so I know he will find a way to get us out of the situation that we're in. I stood up and looked down at Eren and Mikasa.
"I think I'll go help him out."
I said as I walked out of the still remaining smoke. Armin was giving the salute as I walked out. The soldiers listening to him gasped as they saw me and glared at me.
"Eren is important, strategy-wise and you have to know that he is on our side! He can help us regain Trost from the other Titans!"
Armin yelled at Commander Woerman. I nod my head and yell,
"Armin is right! Eren has the same hatred for the Titans as anyone else here! You cannot kill him when he the most important thing right now. If you kill him, you will regret it for the rest of your life, Woerman! Although…..you probably won't regret for long because my father is not very forgiving."
Commander Woerman's eyes widened because he knew what I was talking about. If he killed me, my father would most certainly kill him….slowly…..He looked at the assistants beside him and then back at me. He looked like he was thinking about it for a second but then stopped thinking. He slowly raised his hand for the cannons and I cursed under my breath. Dumbass.
"Stop!"
Woerman looks to the side of us to see an old man with wrinkles. His eyes widened and he lowered his hand quickly.
"Commander Pixis!?"
"Yes Woerman. I would like to hear about their story from them. So I will take care of them for now. They will not die today and will stay by my side for the day."
"But sir!?"
"No buts! Go gather reinforcements!"
Commander Woerman shook his head and left with the soldiers following him. I looked at Pixis with a smile and walked over to him. He gave me a smile with a shake of his mustache and he hugged me.
"It's good to see you again, Robina. You always seem to get yourself in the most difficult situations."
I grinned at him and responded,
"And you always seem to get me out of them…..Grandpa….."
And that is the end of the chapter. Okay, let me make this clear. They are not together just because she was crying and they hugged. Remember, she hasn't confessed to him. She never said I love you or anything like that so they are not a couple yet. I decided to make commander Pixis her grandpa because he kind of looks like the older version of commander Shadis and thought that that would be cool lol. But yeah he would be her Mom's Dad and then Robina's Dad changed his name to her Mom's last name, Shadis. Soo I hope that clears that up. Anyways, please review the story! It will help me with the next chapter, hehe. Finally, thanks for reading and following my Attack on Titan fanfic!
