Chapter 3:

HEY! Sorry it took so long for me to update~ It's been kind of crazy...but anywho, here's the next chatper! There's A LOT more action in this one! Hope you like it! Reviewing and Favoriting is appreciated! ^-^

Flying past the buildings I was able to take down yet another titan.

Looks like I'm on a roll.

I've been at this all day. It was starting to get dark. No doubt that Roy is looking for me. All I can do is hope he's ok. Glancing down at the ground, as I flew across it, all I could see was blood and dead bodies.

I'm already too late…even after all the titans I've taken out…but what could only one person do?...I could have done nothing except maybe save some of the lives that may have been lost today…but not them all.

Wincing, I bit my lip and looked ahead, refusing to look down anymore.

I have to keep on going. There are still people I can help.

"AHHHH!" I heard someone scream up ahead.

Squinting my eyes, I saw someone on the ground running away from about a 4 meter titan. For some reason he had no gear. Maybe it broke and he left it behind.

"HOLD ON!" I called out as I lowered myself closer to the ground.

As I got a closer look at him he appeared to be a trainee. Advancing forward I got closer to the titan's neck. Both swords up and ready, I was about to slice the titan's neck that was chasing him, but out of nowhere a titan's hand swung at me. Navigating myself out of the way I landed on the rooftop beside me, but not all too lightly. I was so distracted by the trainee that I was not paying attention to my surroundings. Rolling over, I growled at my own actions.

I'm getting careless….and tired…better make this quick.

Standing up, I ran as the 14 meter class titan tried to grab me with his hand. I needed to save the trainee before I dealt with this titan, otherwise he would be dead by then. Jumping down below, I flung myself near the trainee. Big booming foot steps could be heard from the 14 meter titan not too far behind me.

COME ON…COME ON…

Glancing down below, I saw that the trainee tripped and fell on the ground, probably due to exhaustion. Who knows how long he's been running.

GREAT…WHAT DO I DO NOW!?

I had to kill this titan NOW. Using my 3D maneuver gear I swung myself around the titan and into the air and came down right on his neck, killing it. Landing on the ground I skidded to a stop.

"ARE YOU OK?!" I called out to the trainee who was still down on the ground.

Running over to him I saw he was trying to get up.

"Come on we have to get out of here!" I said helping him up glancing back at the 14 meter class titan who was still coming after me and now him.

Grabbing onto him I swept us both into the air trying to get away from the titan. Usually I would have had no problem doing this, but I was at my limit and had been fighting titans for hours, not to mention I just recovered from injuries. Glancing behind me I saw the titan was going to make a grab at us.

I need to move NOW!

"HOLD ON!" I exclaimed to the trainee as we were nearing clock tower.

"BRACE YOUSELF!"

I shot out the little grabbling hooks to attach to the tower so we could swing ourselves around in the other direction. Sadly the hooks didn't go in deep enough and came out as we made the turn.

No.

I shot out the hooks again, but by the time they shot out and started to pull us up, we weren't high enough and where the hooks grabbed onto wasn't high enough either. Skidding across the ground, I released him not wanting to roll on top of him. Roughly landing on my side, I rolled over multiple times across the stone ground. Lifting my head up, I saw the trainee was not too far away from me. Franticly looking around I tried to devise a plan. This is when my instincts took over. Glancing over I saw another tower and it appeared to be taller than the titan pursuing us. Getting up I sprinted over towards the trainee.

"Come on! We have to get to that tower! OK?! YOU HAVE TO GET UP!"

He seemed to understand me and helped me get him on his feet. As I helped him up I winced. There was a shooting pain going up my left arm.

OW….oh no my arm…I must have broken it.

"You're hurt…Just leave me behind…save yourself….I'll only hold you back…we can't lose a survey corps member…I'm not worth-," I heard him rasp out as I picked him up.

"I'm not leaving you here! Just a little more! Come on, you can make it!" I said ignoring his comment.

Snapping my head behind me I saw the titan was not far behind, but neither was the tower. I ran to the tower at full speed and right before the titan could grab us I shot out my grappling hooks. We were able to quickly make our way up to the tower. As we slowed to a stop on the side of the tower I saw the titan clawing up at us, with his mouth wide open.

"See I told you we would-"

I heard some mechanical sounds coming from my gear…and it didn't sound good.

I must have damaged it when I skidded across the ground!

Putting all of the trainee's weight to one side of me I tossed him up to where there was a ledge.

"What are you doing!?" He yelled as the cord from the grappling hooks started to lower me at a quick pace.

He quickly reached down and grabbed my wrist stopping me from falling. Although, he would eventually fall if he kept his hold on me. I could tell he didn't have enough leverage to keep it up.

"I'M NOT-UGH-LETTING YOU DIE….NOT LIKE THIS!" he said grunting trying to keep a hold on me.

He's in no physical state to pull me up…he couldn't even walk or pick himself up. And I think I broke my left arm so I can't climb my way up….and I need to save my energy for what I'm about to do next.

"You need to let me go!" I said looking up at him.

"WHAT? Are you crazy!?"

"Yes!" I choked out with a small smile.

Before he opened his mouth I had to say what needed to be said before I would fall.

"I'm the only person who can survive this! If you don't let go you'll fall too! I WILL SURVIVE!"

I felt his grip slipping.

"THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL SURVI-"

Cutting him off I yelled out, "YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR ME! TELL MY SISTER TO LOOK FOR ME! KIWI! SHE'LL KNOW! JUST STAY THERE! STAY ALIVE! IT'S THE ONLY WAY!"

Almost losing his grip he tightened his hold…but it was no use.

"PROMISE ME YOU'LL TELL HER!"

"I PROMISE!"

Looking deep into his tear filled eyes I whispered, "Good."

He lost his grip….

Screaming up to him before I fell in the beast's mouth, I said, "TELL HER TO FIND ME!"

And with that I curled up into a ball and titan swallowed me whole. The last thing I remember is the screaming cries of the young trainee.

Don't worry kid….I'll be back.

DUN DUN DUUUN~ Sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger buuut I had to leave off somewhere! As always an suggestions or comments are appreciated and welcome! I'd love to hear what you guys think ^-^.
