NINE, FIGHT TO WIN

SILENCE HAD BECOME Fleur's new enemy as she stood anxiously by a rough concrete wall beside Armin who was still in a state of conflict with himself. The unwelcomed stillness took over the atmosphere accompanied by grey skies and the malodorous aroma of death that completely overwhelmed the girl's senses.
The familiar smell put her in an odd mood, she couldn't quite explain it - a mixture of irritation and perhaps, resentment too. Irritated because she was growing impatient with herself and the other cadets for accomplishing very little. The resentment was rooted in the way her life was structured for her. Living in a prison and having to fight for her survival, it simply made every bad emotion in her veins overflow.
Who's to fault her for feeling this way? She was surrounded by her comrades who were drained of any hope they had left in humanity; they didn't want to take a chance at fighting back because in their heads it all ended with them being dead. This could be a possibility considering their dilemma but it wasn't set in stone. Nothing was unless you let it be.
Fleur believed they had a chance if they could play their cards right. If all of them could conceal their terror for a bit longer, show a little bravery even if it was fake, and find a way to win against the Titans, then yes, she believed they had an opportunity to finally defeat them. It would be a small short-lived victory and a step closer to peace. But then again, the girl thinks about their situation, most of them needed their gas tanks refilled - without it, they wouldn't survive a second. And the ones assigned to that job have completely surrendered to fear.
With that understanding, silver eyes darted around in a panicked manner, everywhere she looked Abnormals were scattered making their way towards the Headquarters ready to devour them all. At the scene, her heart began to beat a little faster than usual afraid of what the outcome of today might be.
Most of their people were barricaded in the buildings surrounding the Headquarters and she can only assume they were scared out of their minds. They needed to figure out a plan as soon as possible. If not they'd all perish which was not something Fleur favored - no way was she going to give up after all these years of training and preparing for this.
