chapter 14

Reader POV

When I woke up I was in pain. My legs were the worst, I felt like I was about to die. My arms felt numb and my eyes were only just opening up. It took me a minute to remember what I had just gone through but when I did I started swinging my arms legs and head around. "LET ME OUT!" I yelled. "I'm sorry Y/n I can't do that." I heard a voice say.

I kept swinging my arms and legs but it was to no avail. When I finally saw who it was my eyes opened. Bertholdt and Reiner were standing in front of me along with Eren and Ymir. "But... Why? Why did you hide this from me, from us?" I whispered. They looked at me again. "I looked around and took in everything I would need to know. I had one thing they didn't know about.

" Bert put the cloth on her mouth please." Reiner said to Bertholdt. We came over to me and stuffed my mouth with a piece of cloth.

I noticed that the rope was tied carelessly and I could easily get out. I pulled my arms out slowly letting the rope fall to the floor. They never learnt how to tie a real know did they.

I slowly brought my hands to my chest and pulled out a knife. I brought the knife behind the tree again and waited for my perfect chance. One thing Levi taught me was how to hold someone hostage.

I never thought I would be using that skill but here I am. When Bertholdt came back over to me I pulled the knife out and brought it to his throat. I held his head back a bit just far enough back that I could cover his eyes.

Reiner looked at me and started yelling "TAKE THE KNIFE AWAY, HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?"

I kept myself strong and held on. Ymir and Eren looked at me. "How did she?" Ymir whispered. "Ill stay here until nightfall if I have to but you could just ignore all that take off the ODM gear. Now or else." I pushed the knife farther into Bertholdt's neck.

Of course Reiner took of his gear but from here it was a difficult position. I took of Bertholdt's gear. "Kick it off." I said. "Wait what?" Reiner mumbled. "KICK OFF YOUR GEAR." I yelled. He didnt , he looked me dead in the eyes and said "no". I looked at him while slowly pushing the knife into Bertholdt's throat. He began to bleed and I said it again. " kick. It. Off." I told him.

By this time Bertholdt had something to say. "Why? You always cared so much and now your stabbing me." I stuttered. "Wanna know why, I'm surprised you didn't know already. Its called a betrayal of trust. And one more thing. Did you or did you not send Marco into is own death?" I asked him.

Bertholdt let out a sort of confused noise. "How did you know that someone had sent him to his own death?" Reiner asked.

"Now I'm not the smartest person in the world but I know when something is off. Marco had no ODM gear on." I told them. "Now answer the question did you or did you did you not send Marco into is own death?"

"So what if I did!" he yelled getting defensive. I hadn't realized it but my grip on Bertholdt had slipped. I wasn't holding him anymore he had gotten away. I had his ODM gear on so he wasn't able to go far. Reiner had grabbed Bertholdt and they were now on a different branch.

"Yo Y/n when did you become such a badass?" Eren asked. All the attention directed to him and I was finally able to relax a bit. To be honest at this point I was just wasting time.

The scouts would be here soon so I just had to stall until they arrived. Not that hard right?
