I love all of your support and urge you to stay with me through the thick and thin! This story is almost done so give my other stories a read! :D Well finally, here is the chapter!
Ch. 33
I decided to wake up early today for the plan that we were commencing. It was Sunday morning so most people were either in the safety of their homes or in church. I remember when our family went to church every Sunday but that was before everything wrong happened. We just didn't have the time to go anymore and it would've probably brought up some heart-breaking memories... Right now, I was sitting at my table drinking sipping some water from my glass. Levi walked in and sat next to me.
"You ready for this?"
He asked me. I sighed and nodded.
"Yes, but I hope you won't think that this plan will be a success. If I remember correctly, Annie is a very smart and intelligent girl so if she suspects anything we're fucked..."
I replied with another sip of my water. He crossed his arms and propped his boots on the table; typical Levi...He stared at me for a good long minute while I pretended not to notice. Why was he doing that?
"Why are you staring at me?"
I asked him; not even looking at him while I did. All he did in response was snort and lean back in his chair. Geez, he's fucking crazier than I thought he was...I snorted myself and rolled my eyes. If this is how the day was going to go I might as well just go find Armin so we can start it. I stood up and passed him my glass of water in which he took gladly. I waved my hand at him and left the room to find my blond friend. I walked in exploration for about five minutes before I saw him...with Krista. I gasped silently and hid behind the wall to see what was going on.
"I hope the plan does good...I don't think I could bear to see you...I mean...any of you hurt..."
Krista said as she blushed and brushed some of her golden hair out of her face. Armin smiled softly at her while he was reading something from his notebook.
"You shouldn't worry. I would like it more if you were your cheerful self again. Happiness fits you like a bee to a flower."
Armin said to her gently as he looked at her with his light blue eyes. I covered my mouth from laughing and shook my head. Did he just fucking use poetry to compliment her? Only Armin...I managed to calm myself down and watch them once again. Krista smiled a little at his words and her face went red again. She stood up, pulling her book close to her chest, and walked over to the almost identical boy next to her.
"Well maybe a kiss will make me feel better..."
She said quietly as she kissed his soft cheek. He instantly froze and his eyes went wide as she smiled at him and left the room. I hid behind the wall as she passed me; not knowing I was right there. I peaked my head at Armin and he still had the same facial expression he had when she kissed his left cheek. I couldn't even believe the boy I knew since I was ten had finally found a crush; It's about damn time...Coming into his full view, he stiffened again and looked down at his notebook quickly.
"So...what was that?"
I asked him with a smirk. He went crimson immediately as he looked at me nervously.
"What are you talking about?"
"Armin, I know that you know what I'm talking about so you don't have to act so shy. I think it would be a great idea if you and Krista got together. I mean, you two even look alike so it would be perfect!"
I exclaimed in happiness. He shrugged slightly and looked down at the table.
"I don't know...I've never felt love before..."
He said shyly. I smiled and rubbed his back.
"It's wonderful and if you give her a chance maybe you two can be together forever."
I said. He nodded after some thought and suddenly stood up; closing the notebook in front of him. He walked over to the window and sighed.
"I think it's time to start the plan. I assume Levi has already told you what will happen?"
He asked as he turned his head towards me. I nodded and walked over to him.
"Yeah he did. Who will be the fake Eren though?"
I asked him. You see, the military police wanted Eren back because we had failed our previous operation. So we were going to use this opportunity to get Annie since she was the Female Titan. But we had to be secretive about this though. Today was the day that Jean would pretend to be Eren as they took him to the capital building to be contained. He should be fine...or at least I hope so...
"Does Eren know that Annie is the Female Titan?"
I asked. I hadn't seen him in a day or so, so I had no idea what had been going on. Admin looked at me and shook his head.
"No, I don't think so."
"Should I tell him?"
I asked the blond boy next to me.
"No, I think it would better if he were to find out on hand own. You know him, we don't need him throwing a temper-tantrum before the plan even begins."
He said with a laugh. I nodded in agreement and sighed deeply. With all of the shot that has happened before all of this, the plan was probably going to be a failure. I swear our luck as humans is horrible; scratch that, terrible!
Click!
The both of us turned to see even and his sister come into the room with their hoods on. I smiled and gave Eren a soft welcoming kiss in which he returned gladly.
"I missed you."
He said with a sad smile. I nodded and grinned at him.
"I missed you too Eren. Are you guys ready for this?"
I said to the both of them. Mikasa simply nodded at me with a blank expression and Eren gave his signature determined grin that I loved. Armin nodded and pulled his hood over his face.
"Well then let's go."
He said as we all headed out the door. We all made sure that we stayed in the dark alleyways and away from any guards. We were right about not a lot of people being in the streets today. The process was slow though, we had to travel to the point where Levi had shown me yesterday but we had to stop at each alley way to make sure we were still hidden.
"Are we almost there?"
Eren asked me as we walked quietly. I nodded slowly and put my hand in his hand to keep him distracted from talking...and I really wanted to hold his hand...Don't judge me! He gave a small sigh as we intertwined our fingers together and I could tell Mikasa was smiling slightly behind us. We suddenly stopped and Armin turned around to look at us.
"Okay Robina, Annie should be around here somewhere. If I'm correct, I think I saw her around the corner or close by. You know what to do."
I nodded and walked to the end of the dark alley way. The three behind me stayed behind the corner as I left them to find Annie. I reached the end of and looked around the corner to see Annie's Military Police convoy making their way past me. Annie was one of the last ones so I took that to my advantage.
"Annie!"
I whispered as quietly as I could. She stopped for a second and looked at me. Her eyes went wide for a second before she jogged over to me and wiped some hair out of her eye.
"Robins, what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be with the scouts?"
She asked as she looked at me. I looked around to see if anyone was near us before I answered her.
"Listen, the 'MP' wants Eren after our failed operation and I'm helping him escape the capital. Annie, you're the best person I know who could even come close to matching my skill so I need you to come with me and help."
I said as I looked into her crystal-blue eyes. She wrapped her rifle around her back and looked at the ground in thought.
"I don't know...I'm with the scouts now. I just don't think..."
"Please Annie. Nobody else will help with this besides Armin and Mikasa. I know you're a good person Annie and I need your help right now..."
I said as I began to form fake tears in my eyes; I was really good at acting...She leaned on one leg and sighed in thought again. I brought my hands together and touched my chest with them.
"...Okay I will. But only because it's you. You wouldn't ask for my help if you didn't need it..."
She told me. I smiled softly and wiped the fake tears out of my eyes. I turned around and saved my hand at her.
"Well good, follow me then."
I said. I then turned around slightly to see that she was putting on a ring of some sort. I'm not for sure but I think it had a pointed edge to it; which meant that if she drew blood at any time on her own free will, she would transform. I came around the corner and gave Armin a look that expressed my thoughts. He nodded and greeted Annie politely as she came up behind me.
"I'm glad to see that you're helping us Annie."
He said with a relieved smile. She nodded at him as we began to walk to the underground tunnel. She stayed close to me the whole time which kind of made me suspicious but I never questioned it. Melissa watched her closely with an invisible glare that could be seen if you looked hard enough. However, Eren had no idea what this woman had done in her life so he still felt like she was a companion.
"Here we are. Let's go."
Armin said he led the way in the underground tunnel. I started down the steps but stopped when I saw that Annie wasn't coming with us.
"Annie come on. Let's go."
Eren and I said to her quietly. She stared at us for a second before shaking her head.
"There are no civilians around...and you all were acting strangely around the civilians that were seen..."
Fuck...she was getting suspicious now...she was smart so I wasn't surprised but to notice all of that so quickly was impressive. I glanced Mikasa to see that she was barely taking out her swords. Admin cursed under his breath and stepped forward.
"Annie, I know that you're the Female Titan by the fact that you have Marco's maneuvering gear. Also...why didn't you kill me during the expedition?"
My eyes went wide at his sentence. He saw her in her from earlier as well? Annie gave him a blank look.
"...If you knew, why didn't you try to stop me then Admin?"
"I didn't want to believe it...but if you follow us, I know your not the same blood-shedding creature that day in the past. Please Annie..."
Armin pleaded her. Eren, next to me, looked horrified at the sudden news of Annie being the Female Titan. He was shaking slightly next to me and I grabbed a hold of his arm. Annie laughed sadly at us and shook her head.
"I guess you've won your bet of exposing who I am, Armin...but my bet has just begun!"
She screams as she lifts her hand to her mouth. Admin quickly shoots a flare into the sky and a few of the survey corps members rush at her. I grabbed Eren's hand and pulled him deeper in the tunnel with Armin and Mikasa following us. I wasn't going to let her have him again, damn it! I turned around to the scouts tackling her and gagging her mouth but then I saw it. The ring. The edged part stuck out like a needle and she cut her thumb with it; drawing blood from her body.
I didn't even have time to react before the familiar smoke of her transformation appeared behind us...
And that is the end of the chapter! Again I'm sorry for not updating as fast as I would like too but that's life for ya. I need to get a new hard drive for my laptop and its like $50 maybe. Using really know but for now, I will have to use my tablet as a way to write to you guys. Please review the story because it's hard to write a couple of chapters every week, even on a computer. Give me a reason to write by giving me your support :D thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you guys! P.S I totally learning how to speak and write Japanese and how about that Armin and Krista? Lol
