Hey guys! Yes, I know that I haven't updated this in a while and I'm sorry haha. You can come to my house and beat me up but I'm still going to update. You know, just a thought, but I update faster when I see someone review the story. That lets me know that people are still interested in it. I'm not even kidding. For those who do review, I'm sorry that you have to hear this every single time. Well, I'm tired of going with the canon so I'm going my own way and might stay a little bit with the story so it makes sense. Well that's all I have to say right now. Thanks so much for taking your time to read this story and here is the chapter! Warning: Some stuff in this chapter may seem a little gross so read cautiously!
Ch. 50
Levi and the others came back a few hours later with a few extra people. These people looked like they were scared out of their lives; probably because Levi was whispering something in their ears. He left their side to walk over to me and hand me a pair of pliers. I blinked at the tool and he stared at me real hard.
"This is your 'special treat'."
He said nonchalantly. Seeing as how I wasn't getting it, he pointed at the closest frightened man to us. He looked up to see us staring at him and began thrashing around like a mad man. If I had to guess, he wanted me to….TORTURE HIM! HELL YESSSSSSSS! I started jumping up and down in excitement but ended up getting sick and throwing up in the trash can next to us. Levi patted my back and sighed.
"If you knew that would happen, why the hell did you jump?"
"...I was excited…."
I said while wiping my face. Eren handed me a wet rag to wash my face because he was pretty much used to it by now.
"Well….WITHOUT jumping, lets torture this son of a bitch."
He said as he forcefully grabbed the man by his arm and slung him in a chair. Before the scared man could escape, Levi and Hanji strapped him to the chair and stuck his feet to the ground. As I have said before, My Dad taught me all of the torture techniques that he knew, but I have never been able to actually use it until now. Levi, looking as serious as ever, turned to the others.
"You all need to go downstairs to the basement so we can do this. I doubt you all have the stomach to see this kind of shit so go. Now."
Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Connie, Sasha, and Jean all groaned and slowly obeyed his order. Once they were out the door, I tightened the gloves I had on and clutched the pliers.
"So what am I asking him?"
I asked Levi.
"You leave that to me. Just do the torturing. I nodded and placed the pliers at one of the man's fingernails. He gasped and started screaming. Yeah, screaming.
"No! Why are you starting with those!? Please don't!"
I shook my head in annoyance and yanked the first finger nail off his finger nail. Blood splattered on the ground and our ears were filled with the ear-killing screech of this man's pain. Hanji stood next to me doing the same thing and she felt her heart for a second.
"Wow. This is my first torturing so I never knew how much of a rush it could be!"
I couldn't help but smile at her comment before pulling another one. This time, I got blood on my face and wiped it off in disgust. She was right though. This was pretty fun; besides the screaming of course. Levi started asking the questions once every fingernail was out and the man immediately squeaked out answers like the pussy he was. The questions ranged from what the capital was planning to what the King was doing right now.
"What was that?"
Levi asked the man when he smarted off to him.
"I said-"
He didn't finish. His face was too busy getting punched by Levi. It made me realize how good it was to be a girl because that looked like it really fucking hurt. I doubt he would punch a lady; at least with not as much force as he did with this guy. He then grabbed his nose and physically broke it. I cringed at the sound of his nose cracking. The man tried to breathe through his nose, but all that came out was blood and the sound of crossed nasal ways. The not-so-tall man cracked his knuckles and nodded over at Hanji and I.
"Teeth."
Levi said. Hanji and I knew what that meant as we grabbed our pliers again. She looked at me and let me do it first. The pliers clung to his front tooth nicely as I began to pull. The smell of bloody gums and teeth filled the air as I pulled the tooth straight from his mouth. I laid the pliers down and set the tooth on the table along with the pulled fingernails. It was gross, yes, but it had to be done if we were going to get information from this bastard.
"Let's take a break."
Levi said to the two of us after an hour of torturing. I had to say….My Dad taught me well. I didn't so much see it as brutality on my part, but more like skill. We all left the man in his heap of pity and walked into the sun-lit room. The birds chirped outside and the clouds danced along. Even though it looked like it was about to rain, it still looked very peaceful outside; unlike what was going on inside. We all sat in silence. The only thing you could hear was the whispers of the others from down stairs in the basement. There was no way they couldn't have heard that man's loud voice begging for mercy. Levi kept glancing at Hanji before turning to me.
"Robina….Let me talk to you for a sec…"
Levi said; breaking the silence between the three of us. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Hanji was frowning and sighing like she was disappointed in something. They didn't think I was a horrible torturer did they? I nodded and he walked the both of us outside. You could hear the thunder in the distance and the clouds were starting to get dark as they danced together. The trees blew with the storm's wind but it was still quiet.
"I need you to sit down because you are not going to like this."
He muttered over to me. I gave him a weird look but listened to what he had said as I sat on a tree stump.
"What is it Levi?"
He rubbed the back of his neck and darted his eyes at me like he was nervous. What did Levi Ackerman have to be nervous about?
"Well….We've talked about you being pregnant…."
"Yeah….So?"
"Jaeger and I have been talking with one another as to what to do with you once you get….too pregnant...and well….You basically have gotten too pregnant Robina…"
He trailed off. I rose an eyebrow and crossed my arms.
"What do you mean? I'm barely showing Levi."
"I know."
"And you know I can fight still."
"I know but-"
I started to get angry because we were having this conversation yet again! How many times did I have to tell them that I was fine with fighting on their side and being pregnant at the same time. I promised myself I would stop at three or four months, but they're acting like I was at nine months!
"And you know I would do anything for the team and help you defeat the Titans!"
"Robina!"
He yelled. I stopped and widened my eyes at him. He grabbed my shoulders and sighed deeply.
"You're finished."
My voice froze and came out in a stutter.
"W-What?"
"Look...I don't even want to have this talk with you. You and I both know that you WANT to help us and I know you can but since you're pregnant, all of that is over. It's just too risky for you to be doing all of this. So..."
He stopped and thought about what he was going to say.
"I'm putting you in a safe house by yourself until everything is over and alright..."
What the hell did he just say? I would slap him but I was too shocked to do it. I stared at him in disbelief as he stared back into my eyes. We stood like that for a minute before my face began to get red. I was angry and he knew it. When I say angry, I mean I was about to shoot somebody's fucking head off. It may sound weird to someone as to why I was so mad. I think the only people who understood were Eren and Levi. I made myself go through all of this not for myself or humanity, but for Eren and Levi. I loved them both and would put my life on the line to protect them. But now...They were putting me away like some kind of prisoner!? They weren't even allowing me to protect them anymore. Yes, I get that I'm pregnant, they've made that clear a thousand times but that doesn't change my willpower and personality. I opened my mouth to scream at him and put his hand over my mouth.
"Stop."
He told me. He didn't say anything else as he grabbed my arm gently and started moving towards the street. I barely resisted. I think I just gave up at that point. I bowed my head and my eyes began to water. I can't believe they're doing this...I continued to think about it before I felt someone wrap their hand in mine. I looked up to see Eren looking at me.
"It's for your own good Robina. We are about to overthrow the king, and I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt."
He whispered. Levi stopped at a tall building and took the both of us inside. Four soldiers stood inside with their arms crossed as we entered the room. he sat me down in a chair that was in the middle of the room. There weren't any windows in the room but the walls weren't exactly sound-pact. I sat in the chair and looked around depressingly.
"These soldiers will make sure you are okay at all times, feed you, give you new clothes, clean you up, and talk to you. If you need anything, just ask them okay?"
Eren said to me. I looked around again and started crying. I couldn't even keep the tears in. I didn't like it in this boring place surrounded by soldiers. I wanted to be with Eren and my friends. and what's even worse is that I will probably be here for months at a time! I might go insane! Eren gasped at my sobbing and hugged me quickly. He wiped the tears from my eyes and I brought my hands to my eyes.
"I-I...I don't want to stay here Eren...Please..."
I coughed in between tears and he rubbed my back as Levi painfully watched.
"I know...I know...And I'm so...So sorry that I'm making you do this. Just keep the baby in mind okay? I'm the Dad of that baby so I will protect it as well as you because I love you with all of my heart. I'm doing this because I love you. You do know that right?"
He asked as he tilted my head up. My crying reduced and I sniffed a couple of times.
"Y-yes..."
"Then please go with it. I promise I will visit you whenever I can and when you have that baby, we will live together and be a big happy family!"
He grinned. I smiled a bit and sniffed once again.
"You always say that..."
"Because I know it will happen and I'm looking forward to it. Look, it will only be for a few months. If I can, I will come here at night and lay in bed with you. Would that make this place a little better Robina? I know you don't like it but I will do anything to make you feel comfortable."
He was so sweet. I wiped the last of my tears away and nodded with the little hope I had left. I stood up from the chair and gave him a death-gripping hug. He winced at the tightness of my hug but hugged me back nonetheless. He pulled back and kissed me lovingly for a long time. Haha, Levi had to ply him off of me. I also gave Levi a hug because he was like my brother. I brought my mouth close to his ear and whispered,
"Make sure you protect him."
I said. He nodded with that expressionless look of his and turned to leave. Eren hesitated and his teal eyes began to water as he kept looking back at me.
"I don't want to leave..."
He told Levi. Levi rolled his eyes and grabbed him by the collar as he hauled Eren out the door.
"Too bad Jaeger. Suck it up, you will see her soon so shut the fuck up."
I giggled but then got sad again as their presence left me. It was just very sad; I don't know how to explain it. Looking around, I saw a bunch of book shelves. The building was kind of big so I wasn't surprised to see so many. In the other corner was a simple kitchen that didn't stand out much. Next to it was the bathroom. I have no idea why they put the bathroom next to the fucking kitchen. Sounds kind of retarded to me...Anyway, the rest of the giant room was filled with furniture like my bed. There was only one door; the front one. Two guards stood at that one while two stood in the back of the room.
"ugh..."
I groaned as I got up out of boredom. I walked over to one of the bookshelves and scanned the books. Most of them were about fairy tales that you would read as a kid. I was sixteen now so why would I read them? For memories I guess? The other bookshelf contained books that were all about government. As I looked through them all, I realized that each bookshelf had a different topic or genre. None talked about the outside world of course, but I wish it did. Now that I think about it, could there be life outside the walls? Like a civilization like ours? I guess that's why we had to overthrow the king...To obtain all of these secrets the higher-ups have been keeping from us...No! I can't think about it! It will only make me depressed if I think about the mission...That I really wanted to be on...Quit Robina! I clutched my hair and basically pounded my palms against my temples. One of the guards gasped and stepped forward with his white gloved-hand stretched out to make me stop.
"Robina, Are you okay?"
He asked. I stopped almost instantly because I had heard that voice before. I looked at the soldier to see a familiar face. His dirty blond hair barely went over his blue eyes and his height was still greater than mine by an inch or two.
"Alfred?"
I asked him as I looked him up and down. If you remember, he was one of my instructor friends back at the cadet camp. We were the same age so we became friends quickly as we both loved torturing the cadets with laps around the field. Alfred smiled brightly and nodded.
"Yep. I'm here to protect you."
He said; matter-of-factly. I gave him a weird look and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Why?"
"Well...They told me to and you're my friend so why not? And..."
He blushed real big and that really made me giggle. He didn't do that often so something was up.
"What Alfred?"
His cheeks burned furiously as he rubbed his cheek.
"Since you have a guy and you're pregnant and all, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. To be honest, I kind of had a stupid crush on you back at the cadet camp hehe..."
He said. My eyes widened slightly before I laughed. I patted his shoulder and shook my head.
"No way? Really? Oh my gosh that's so funny. I never even noticed!"
I said out loud. He sighed and mumbled,
"I noticed...But it's all good now because I know I will find someone else. There are a lot of pretty girls in Trost so I will find one sooner or later. I'm only sixteen after all! God, I sounded like a middle-aged fart just now didn't I?"
He asked out of embarrassment. I brought my fingers together real close.
"Just a bit. But I am glad you are here. It gives me someone to talk to for the time being."
I told him. Even though I really hate staying here instead of helping the others, maybe it won't be as bad as I thought…
And that is the end of the story! Yes I went away from the canon because I said I would didn't I!? No, she will not stay in this house forever so don't worry. Yes, her friend Alfred is there to keep her company but he will play a role in her fight to-...nevermind. You will have to wait for the next chapter. Again, even though most of you don't care, please review and comment the story! It brings more readers to it! It's true, it's been proven by scientist from Norway! Finally, thanks so much for giving your time to read this and I will see you next time!
