Jean Kristen

Chapter 7

Reader POV

I stood back up and thanks him. "Thanks Jean, sorry about that. This is the second time." I sighed.

   "I really shouldn't have to be saving your ass every five seconds, but here I am." He joked back. We laughed for a second then looked back down.

  Titans were still trying to climb up the trees. I was about to start talking to Reiner and Jean but it was stopped by a huge bang. Cannons? But they never brought any cannons in? How? No other machine makes that noise. We looked at each other.

"W-what?" Armin said from behind my back. I turned around to look at him. Was this a trap to capture the female Titan that was following us? I thought about it for a while. Then one very important fact came to mind. This wasn't something that anyone from the scouts could have done. It has to be someone who has ties.

  So Jean and I were right... There is a mole. I looked over at Jean, he was definitely thinking the same thing. If what Armin said was right then the person inside the Titan must have ties inside the scouts. If they didn't then one they wouldn't know about today's mission and two someone must have told them where to g-.

   Then we heard a loud screeching. The Titans that were just at our trees were running in, ignoring us completely. "Take them down!" I yelled. I took down a few but then I heard the signal to retreat.

We lowered down to our horses and got back on. We rode out a bit farther. "What do you think happened? Did they get the person steering the Titan?" I asked. "I'm not sure." Reiner answered. We rode out a bit. "Guys, do you think any of the Titans will come back out of the forest to get us?" One of them asked. "Let's just hope we are long gone by then," I replied.

  I pushed myself out a bit to try and leave some space between myself and Reiner. I slowed my horse and tried to think of everything that had happened in the past year and a half. I also kept my head ahead to try to make myself look like nothing was wrong. I shook my head at all the options that I had come up with. When I finally got myself back in the real world I went towards Armin and Reiner. "You ok?" Reiner asked. I nodded quickly although I knew something was up.
