I wasn't going to update today, because… well… reasons. But then I looked at the reviews and I realised that I needed to be a better author, I can't just withhold chapters from you (lovely reader) just because I'm drowning (not literally, please don't freak out) so I've chosen to be the author you deserve. Thank you for sticking around, feel free to follow/favourite/comment/review.

Warning: Graphic depiction of violence.
No, seriously, if you have a vivid imagination and a dislike for blood, you should probably not be here.
While I should probably be in a mental institution…

Warning: Character death…

Erwin said that the team left just after sun set, which was at around seven o clock. It's half past eleven now and Levi isn't back yet.

"What if something happened to them?"

I ask as I pace up and down Gunther's room, anxiously wringing my fingers though careful of my thumb. Erwin is sitting at a table in the far corner, tapping away on his laptop. Gunther is trying to watch some or other sports match, but he is far more amused by my restless pacing.

"Worst case scenario? They got caught and they are being tortured for information, which they would never give up,"

I freeze, not sure what to do or say other than stare at Erwin in horror. "How can you say something like that?"

He looks up from his laptop, his eyes hard as ice and just as cold. "The sooner you get used to the fact that Levi might not come back after a mission, the better. Because every time he goes out with his team, they are all at risk of dying. Look at Gunther for heaven's sake. His lungs were almost skewered from his chest and it is going to take an age for him to recover,"

I look over at Gunther, his head is bowed low and he runs his hands over his chest gingerly.

"Man, I really wish I did a better job of cutting you up. That would have made this so much easier," a female voice says from the door.

We all snap our heads in the direction of the voice; my breath catches in my throat. I've seen her before-

"Annie," Erwin growls as he climbs to his feet.

"Sit down, old man eyebrows, my fight isn't with you,"

Gunther lunges at her from where he had been sitting on the couch. She brings her leg up at the last second to deliver a bone breaking kick to his chest and Gunther crumples to the floor. Next thing I know, the she-devil is pounding on me and I thank my lucky stars that Levi had his team train me. Though I am stupid enough to try and block her with my injured hand and cry out when her fist slams into my palm.

The blond angel and I move in a deadly dance, quick strikes and dodging kicks when Erwin takes a crack at her. His left hook connects with her jaw hard enough for her to stagger.

"Run, Eren!"

I head for the door, leaping and clambering over things when I hear a sickening thud. I look over my shoulder to find Erwin's head bleeding and Annie is on me in an instant. Her wing swipes at my head and I duck under it. I move in behind her, balling my left fist and slamming it into her back half way between her hip and the base of her wing. Her wings burst open with more force than I could imagine and her shriek fills my ears.

"Why you little piece of shit!"

She turns on me and punches me in the face so hard that I glide through the air. I hit the ground, hard, and all the air in my lungs leaves with a whoosh. I gape like a fish, trying to draw breath, but it isn't working. I ache all over but I can't afford to lie still. I struggle to move.

"You know, Levi is practically indestructible. But for some reason that I cannot even begin to fathom, he chose you. Ha, doesn't he know he is only as strong as his weakest link? And doesn't he know that you are his weakest link? You should have seen his face when I told him about all the horrible things I would do when I got my hands on you,"

She laughs: it sounds like the cackling of a demented psychopath, which she actually is. She struts over to me and straddles my stomach. I squirm and try to buck her off but she is bloody heavy.

"But now that I've actually met you, I find you terribly boring and not worth my time. So how about we finish this off quickly? I want your body to be warm when he gets back," her smile doesn't reach her eyes and she comes across as snake-like.

She grabs the collar of my shirt, leans over me and whispers softly that I am about to die a very slow and painful death as a weak human. I reach for her throat, but she easily knocks my hands away. She releases my collar with a shove and my head hits the ground. Hard. Again.

The demon angel looks down at me as she lifts her right arm above her head, her fingers pressed together for a reason I don't understand and her nails look sharp. I manage to suck in a few deep breaths before her hand comes down to my chest at lightning speed.

I hear the sickening crunch before I feel it, I hear a gut wrenching squishing sound before I feel it and I smell the blood before I see it.

Because lying in the palm of this crazy bitch's hand is a red and bloody organ that looks very much like a heart. The heat seeping over my skin tells me that it is my own heart. And maybe a part of my lung…

And that is when the first scream leaves my throat.

I hear her laugh above my gargled shrieks, breathing is getting harder and my eyes roll back in my head. I swing my arms frantically, trying to knock her from her perch. She slaps me through the face so that I focus on her again, pinning my arms above my head. I watch as she squeezes my heart above my skull and my bloody tissue drips onto my face.

My vision is going blurry and my brain is screeching at me to breathe when an arm wraps around the psycho blond bitch's neck and yanks her off of me. My head lolls to the side and I watch Erwin duke it out with the Annie woman.

It's getting harder and harder to keep my eyes open and the last thing I think about before everything fades to black is that I never kissed Levi goodbye. A tear slips over my cheek and I close my eyes.
