Hey guys! I'm actually typing this on a bus lol so I might just get car sick or something. Anyway, I read the next manga chapter so I'm ready to make a chapter for the story. I need to read more chapters since one chapter isn't enough but it will be okay. I'm starting to this on Monday so let's see what day I get to before I finish it. Hopefully it will be today. Please vote in the poll on my profile and give me a review or comment! If you have any ideas, I'm all ears! Well, thanks for reading and here is the chapter!
Ch. 43
Eren looked at me with tired eyes and a frustrated expression on his face. His face looked kind of scaly in a way but I looked closely to see that it was sagging a bit. I slowly sat up and rubbed my head a little. My eyes searched my surroundings to find a not-so-familiar forest. The trees were very tall seeing as how we were sitting on a huge branch of one of them high up above the ground. Eren continued to look at me as I looked around and opened his mouth but then closed it again.
"What?"
I asked him.
"A-Are you okay?"
He asked; his voice seemed slightly shaken up. I nodded and got to my feet. Right beside us, Ymir was sitting there looking exactly like Eren. Her skin was also sagged and I think it was a Titan thing. Both of them were probably exhausted.
"So you're awake too huh?"
On a branch above us, Reiner and Bertolt stared at me with dullness in the light of their eyes. I glared at them but it softened when I realized they had kept me alive. But why? I had so many questions to ask them but I knew what my first one would be; why did they bring me here?
"W-Why did you bring me here with you? Why didn't you just kill me?"
I asked them. Reiner's face turned into a gentle one and he shook his head.
"Robina, I may hate those stupid humans inside the wall, but I'm not cruel enough to kill a kind pretty girl and her baby. And I heard you have vision powers so you could help us a lot with that. Plus, you are one of the best soldiers out there and of we were to come in contact with a Titan, we could really use your skills to kill them."
He said to me; smirking a little at the end of his sentence. Well if that was his reasoning, maybe he wouldn't try to kill me if I did something out of line. I turned back to Eren to see his body slightly smoking and I jumped back in surprise.
"Eren! Your arms!"
His eyes went wide and he looked down at the steaming bandaged stubs that replaced his arms. He started to panic but stopped when Ymir rolled his eyes at him.
"Calm down, they're just recovering from the Titan fight you just had. Your body is physically exhausted and needs time to heal so chill the fuck out."
She mumbled. It looks like she wasn't in a very great mood...
Eren looked back at me and I could tell he was about to do something bold. I always had that sense by the way he moved his body and how his eyes burned.
"Reiner!"
He screamed as he bit into his displaced arm. I expected his Titan steam to come spraying out but it didn't. He kept biting and I had to force him to stop. He whimpered and I think my soul broke in two. You can't tell me that that face wouldn't make you cry when he is sad! Wrapping my arms around him, I gave him a hug and stared up at Reiner.
"You couldn't change back into your Titan form even if you tried. Even if you could, the Titans surrounding us would just eat you alive and then this would all be useless. Keep that in mind Eren."
Reiner said without any expression what-so-ever. Titans surrounding us? I looked around to see a multitude of large trees and branches. But below them, I could see all kinds of Titans walking around like they were bored or something. Others were looking at us like we were meals. Ymir noticed I was scanning them and she nodded her head in the right direction.
"Don't you think that one over there is cute?"
I followed her gaze to spot a Titan hiding behind a tree looking at us. He looked very shy and I don't think I've ever seen him before during Titan raids. He didn't stare at me with blood lust, but I'm sure he had the same deadly intention as the others.
"Not so much cute, more like shy I guess. Umm...Ymir, do you know where they're taking us?"
I was still curious about that part. Ymir closed her tired-looking eyes and sighed.
"I think they said something about bringing us to their hometown. They also mentioned that they would take us by force if we showed any resistance so we're fucking screwed. Hehe..."
She laughed like it was just some joke. She could have gone mad or something, but she would probably be laughing hysterically. All I know right now is that I have to get Eren and myself out of here quickly. Eren walked over to me and spoke out my thoughts to me.
"Robina, we have to get the hell out of here. If we don't, there's no telling what they would do to us. Although, I'm glad they don't intend on hurting you and the baby. We have to think about him or her too."
"Yeah I get what you mean. We can't do anything risky enough to where it would put it in danger. Eren, I really don't want to lose this baby so please calm down and think before you transform."
I lectured him; like any girl would do out of love to her man. He looked down at the ground in regret and I gave him another hug.
"S-sorry...I should have thought about the baby before transforming into my Titan form. I don't know what goes on in my head anymore. It's like I lose all control and I feel the need to use my powers. Robina, I think I need you more than ever."
He whispered, laying his forehead on mine. I 'shhed' him and shook my head.
"It's okay Eren. I'll never let you go. I don't blame you for wanting to turn into your Titan-form. I mean, we are just sixteen so we don't think we just act."
He tilted his head and narrowed his turquoise-colored eyes at me.
"Sixteen? But were still fifteen. Right?"
I shook my head and giggled dryly.
"No, our birthdays happened a couple of weeks ago; I just remembered. We were just too busy with all of this shit to even notice. I figured it didn't really matter anymore what age we were. But, I still think it's cool that our birthdays are so close together; even though you're older you meanie."
I joked. He smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Yeah, but the guy should be older than the girl. We don't want to have to bury you when we get older because that would cause us too much pain. We leave that sad job to the girls. And anyway, I'm sorry I didn't say happy birthday. I must be a pretty bad boyfriend huh?"
He always thought bad of himself, but to me he was like the best guy I could ever have! Of course I shook my head and kissed him back.
"You're not my boyfriend, you're my husband now remember? We haven't had the time to have a wedding..."
"Get a fucking room!"
We both turned to Ymir as she rolled her eyes at us. Her face showed that she had been watching and hearing us the whole time and by now it had gotten gross to her. Well when she gets a guy, she'll do this all the time! Her disgust for us actually snapped me back to reality and I got back to the main topic.
"We got totally off-topic Eren. We were planning on how to get away from here."
His eyes widened and I almost laughed at his facial expression. Damn him, I was trying to be serious!
"Right...what do you think we should do?"
He asked; clearly wanting me to find an answer since he didn't have one. Okay the. If we tried to resist, we probably wouldn't get very far. Eren still hasn't healed his arms yet and Reiner is really strong; much stronger than either of us. Or, Eren could try to turn into his Titan form again and sprint out. Again, another problem. The Titans in the forest would just capture and eat him. So that leaves plan C; stay here and gather information until the time is right to escape safely and quickly.
"Eren, I have thought of everything, trust me, and I believe we should just stay quiet and try to gather information. If we do that, maybe a chain of events will help us escape and we will be able to tell the commander what we have learned."
He smiled and kissed me on the lips with all the strength he could. I moaned in his mouth and he pulled back.
"W-what was that for?"
I asked; still breathing hard for running out of breath.
"That's for being the smartest girl I know. I honestly didn't have any idea what we would do. So I'm going to try to ask them anything I can. You just sit back and you can count on me."
He said smiling. I knew he was determined but he didn't always get his way...obviously...but I nodded and sat back down next to Ymir while he asked Reiner and Bertolt any question he could come up with. The two guys easily worked around them and he was left screaming at them in rage and frustration. I sighed and turned to the still-steaming girl next to me who still looked pissed.
"So...you're a Titan...Hmmm?"
"Yuuuup...and you've got a bun in the oven..."
"Looks that way..."
Oh gosh dammit this is so awkward!
"Hey Robina?"
She was thinking and suddenly wanted to ask me a question. If it got us out of our silence, I would do anything for her.
"Yeah?"
I replied.
"Did you see that giant monkey?"
I stared at her and tried to think. A monkey? I might have but my mind is still groggy from that encounter with the two guys Eren was currently screaming at. I tilted my head at her and slowly shook it 'no.' Maybe she could elaborate on him.
"Well he is this giant Titan that looks like a monkey. It looked like he was leading the others. I just wanted to know if you knew who that thing was..."
She trailed off and the sound of Eren filled our ears again.
"You don't know?"
She rose her eyebrows at me and almost felt like a glare. Now, I can start questioning her because I knew that that was a sign that the person new something. Her voice even sounded like she was bored because she already knew the answer. But before I could interrogate her, Eren came walking back to me with a most frustrated face.
"Son of a bitch. Not even answering me. I'm gonna kill then both if it's the last thing I do. God, go fuck yourself. Damn it!"
He was muttering insults to himself again. I found it pretty cute but I was used to him doing that. He sat next to me and sighed deeply.
"Didn't get any answers?"
"N-no..."
"My hero!"
I yelled sarcastically; getting suspicious looks from Reiner and Bertolt from above. They really needed to loosen up.
"But I will Robina. You can count on me. I'll find out everything and get us out of here."
And that was the last thing Eren said before he went silent and rested his head on my shoulder...
And that is the end of the chapter! Lol I kind of made them way less mad than they should have been. Well...not Eren. It is now ten at night on Wednesday. I mean seriously, that's ridiculous. I would have gotten an update faster but I had to deal with some reporters. I'm not gonna say anything other than just look at my blue exorcist story's review sheet and you wi see what I mean. You will hate them already lol. I would delete the reviews but I want ppl to see it for a change. Anyway, the poll is still up on whether the story should continue until the end of the manga series or end short in my own way. It was just a thought for me but we have six 'yes' and two 'no.' So vote! Please review or comment on the story and I'll be happy! Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time. I DO NOT OWN ATTACK ON TITAN! I WISH I DID THOUGH!
