Hey guys! It's time for another chapter of this attack on titan story! I hope you guys don't get mad at me for doing this, but this is where the story will go away from the canon will kind of be based off of me. So get mad if this happens or that happened because it's not meant to be the actual thing. Please give the story a review or comment and tell me what you think of it! I'm so sorry for being away for so long but vacation kind of got the better or me and was longer than I thought haha. Alright, enough of me, thanks for reading and here is the chapter!
Ch. 49
Today was another day in which I thought it would include another set of exercises, from Hanji, for Eren to do. I was wrong apparently since everyone sat at the breakfast table in a weird fashion. I couldn't figure it out, but something didn't seem right. Eren, who was next to me, was just glad that he didn't have to do anything as he munched on his toast. Levi, on my left, kept tapping his finger on the table and glancing at me.
"What?"
I asked him. His expression never changed from the boring look he always had.
"I need to talk to you."
He said simply as he stood up. I sighed and gave Eren's cheek a kiss with my own before excusing myself from the table. Everyone watched us as we left the room and I got that eerie feeling again of something not being right. Once we were both around the corner and into a different room, he closed the door and crossed his arms at me.
"We need to talk."
God, again? This better not be a lecture. Okay Robina, play it cool.
"About what?"
Really girl? That's the best you could do? Levi sighed lowly in his throat and started digging something in his pocket. He finally brought out a piece of paper and looked into my eyes once he confirmed it as the right one.
"I want you to take a look at this piece of paper and then tell me how long we have before this happens."
What the hell was he talking about? I grabbed the paper reluctantly and gave him a questioning look.
"Tell you how long wha-..."
I stopped when I saw that the paper was from the Commander. Commander Irving to be exact. Basically, it said something about a next plan of action and the second part said something about getting out of the safe house. Getting out of the safe house...I stared at that part while Levi stared at me; he looked like he was waiting for something to happen. I was about to give him the paper back before a vision suddenly came into view. I swear I think I saw Levi smirked before my mind went somewhere else.
"That son of a bitch..."
I muttered as I found myself in front of our safe house. There were voices behind me and I turned to see a torch fly through me and into the wooden cabin, setting it ablaze. My eyes went wide as more guys with torches started catching the house on fire. I guess this is what Levi was talking about. These people must have just found out where we were staying. I looked at the pocket watch I always had in my pocket and gasped. We only had thirty minutes before these people came to the cabin. I blinked again to see Levi standing in front of me with his arm supporting me.
"Are you okay?"
He asked. I nodded and started packing my stuff.
"We have thirty minutes at most. Tell the others now."
I said as I tightened the knot on my bag and threw it over my shoulder. He nodded and went back into the kitchen. They would all probably flock in here in a second so I should get my ass out.
"Holy shit!"
Yelled Connie. Okay I REALLY needed to get out of the room! I barely made it out before everyone started rushing in there. Of course Eren made sure I was okay but he was the only one. I glared at Levi and punched him in the arm. He winced and rubbed it.
"What? Damn...
"You couldn't wait a minute for me to get out of the room safely!?"
I asked. He shrugged and I rolled my eyes. It took everyone about ten minutes to clean the safe house of everything we needed. We all quickly ran up the hill that overlooked the cabin and everything else. The commander and I's prediction came true as the cabin was suddenly lit on fire. Some members let out a sigh of relief while others stayed silent. The commander said that we needed to capture a powerful man in Trost; the head of the food and production department I think. But first, we had to go to the new safe house.
"Wow, this is like a warehouse!"
Connie yelled in excitement. We all gave him a look when he nearly shit his pants over hearing his echo in the house. Levi slapped the back of his head and turned to us.
"We can't stay long. We need to carry out the operation right away. Jean, Armin get in your disguises. Everyone except Eren, Historia, and Robina get ready."
He said as he set his bag down. I narrowed my eyes at him and walked up to him.
"What do you want?"
He asked coldly. I brought my head back in surprise and cleared my throat.
"Okay first of all, don't speak to me that way. Say your sorry."
"..."
"I'm waiting."
"...Sorry..."
"I accept your apology. Second, I want to go too."
I said; maybe a little too childishly...He crossed his arms and shook his head.
"No."
"Why not!?"
I whimpered.
"Because you're pregnant and I don't want you getting hurt. I know you want to but I'm not risking it. And before you protest, I will say this once and only once. I care about you and your safety and the safety of that baby so if you want to be the good Mother you strive to be, I suggest you stay here where it is safe."
He said as he stared into my eyes. Well he had a point...I was just surprised Levi could be this sincere. I sighed and bowed my head in defeat as he patted my shoulder. Just then, Armin and Jean walked past us with their umm...disguises.
"Oh come on! He doesn't even look remotely similar to Eren! And Armin isn't even a girl!"
I yelled. Levi, looking less than pleased, growled and shook his head.
"It will have to do...We will be back. I have a special treat for if you stay here and follow orders."
He said as he walked past me. A treat? What did he mean by that? Well great, now I'm going to keep thinking about it until he gets back. There wasn't really anything he could give me other than food. It better not be bread because he knows I'm craving it right now. The word "treat" would just be a tease if it was.
"Guess I will just explore the house."
I said vaguely. Looking around, it wasn't that much different from the house we stayed in back in the forest. It was made out of wood, but the floors had a better sense of an actual family household. There was a small fireplace in the center and a few room that surrounded the room I was in as of now. Who am I kidding? What is there to explore!? It's a fucking wooden-structured safe house! I can't go outside because Levi told me not. What if I wanted to do some gardening!? No wait, not my house...Nevermind...
"Son of a bitch...What do you think I should do?"
I asked the growing baby in my womb. I didn't get a response but I always liked to think I did. Pregnancy gave me a lot of weird stuff which included talking to myself.
"Talk to Eren and Historia? Okay!"
I said as I walked through the short hallways. I opened every door to see if they were in there but I didn't see them until the last room. Of course. Opening the door, I saw Eren leaning on the wall while staring out the window while Historia sat at a little desk doing the same thing. The atmosphere was a bit awkward if you asked me.
"Hey guys..."
I said softly. Eren looked at me and smiled brightly. I could tell that he was glad I came in. Historia gave me a weak smile and patted the seat across from her. I took the seat, and Eren was right beside me in a second.
"Do you need anything Robina? Food? Water? A blanket?"
He asked with special interest. I waved him down with a giggle.
"Haha, no thanks Eren. Thank you though."
I said. He grinned and nodded cutely. Historia stared at us with curiosity and she finally spoke some words to me. She hasn't talked to me much since she revealed her real identity. Her first words were more like whispers until I looked at her.
"What did you say Historia?"
I asked her. Her blue eyes scanned over my stomach and she raised her voice.
"I-I've been meaning to ask you. What is it like being pregnant?"
She asked. My eyes widened in surprise at the question before they sparkled with reply.
"It's not as bad as everyone says it is. Yes, you may get sick or have heat flashes. And yes, you may have cravings that will drive you mad. However, the thought of your child growing inside you, just waiting to be brought into the world makes all the bad stuff go away. Why? Do you plan on becoming a Mom as well?"
I asked with a teasing smirk and wink. Her face went red and she shook her head furiously.
"No! I was just curious about it. What kind of Mother will you be?"
She suddenly asked. I blinked at her question while Eren sat on the floor listening up at us.
"What kind of Mother will I be?"
I asked her; trying to get what she was actually trying to ask me. She nodded and I paused. What a weird question. What other answer was there other than being very kind and loving to your child. I then thought of her Mom. Her Mom, however, was different than most. Historia's Mom barely even talked to her and regretted having her every single time Historia took a breath from her lungs. She even hated her until the final moments of her life. When Historia told all of us er story of her Mother and childhood, I made a promise to myself that my child would never have to worry about things like that.
"I will be the best Mom ever to my child. I was always protect them with my heart and soul and I will never leave them. This is why I keep doing shit like this...Thinking I can erase all of the corruption of the world before the nine months runs out. I know it's a silly thing to believe in but I truly believe that we can stop all of this Titan nonsense before I give birth. Or at least I hope so..."
I trailed off. Eren smiled and gave me a gentle kiss while Historia hummed to herself. She gave me another gentle smile that seemed hard for her to give and her blue eyes glistened.
"I envy your child already. He or she will have a good Mom and Dad as well as a good childhood. You could say I was almost jealous...But...The thought of it is nice to think about..."
And with that, she went silent. She might be unusual, but she was just like us deep down. But one thing was for sure, Historia was definitely not Krista...
And that is the end of the chapter! Yeah, kind of a slow chapter but that's to be expected. I couldn't really change the plot much from the manga but I will in the future. The manga is getting really good haha I have to admit. But I shall not spoil it because that's what douche bags do! Except for the ones who give you warning before they do! Anyway, please give this stiry a review or comment because it's almost over. I'm being serious. I'm sorry for being out for vacation but I'm back so stop worrying. Thanks again for reading and I will see you next time!
