ALL TO SEE THE WORLD | AOT x BLIND READER

chapter twenty-one

I'm falling.

Isn't this wonderful.

I'm positive i'm gonna die for the upteenth time, until a huge, hard fist wraps around my body.

Fucking shit.

Reiner. Or should I say, the Armored Titan.

This day just can't get any better, can it? Geez, someone fuck off and let me relax for once. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as Reiner tightens his grip on me, not a lot, but enough to try and get me to pass out. Why the fuck do they want me anyways? I'm just a blind girl, nothing too special. If it was my fighting skills they wanted, then they would have takes Levi instead, right?

I struggle to keep my head level and not sink into the darkness, which is looking pretty good at the moment. I don't even try to kick out of his grasp, knowing it's useless. Might as well keep some of my energy to try to keep my eyes open.

"Y/N! EREN!" I head Mikasa and Armin yell. I look up to see my friends staring at us. Even Sasha isn't eating any food, in shock. I know Mikasa is about to come down, but Hange holds her back. Hange is smart. She would make a really good commander, although it would kill her. Not physically, but mentally. She would her childishness and change.

But, I didn't have time to think about anything else because at that moment, everything went blank.

~ time skip because i'm lazy and everyone knows what happensss ~
I feel my consciousness coming back to me as I groan slightly. What the heck? Where am I? I don't even bother opening my eyes (since it won't make a difference) as I sense Eren struggling to get up, running towards me, then dropping to his knees.

"Y/n! Are you okay? How do you feel?" Eren starts to bombard me with questions.

"Eren," I say, holding my head and he stops to look at me.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." I hear Ymir laugh from off to the side and Eren just huffs, glaring at her. Ymir puts her hands up in mock defeat.

"Hey, she said it, not me." Eren just pouts, then remembers me and begins asking questions again.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he starts and Ymir laughs at me rolling my eyes.

"Eren. I'm fine. And by the way, did Reiner or Bertholdt do anything to your hearing?" I ask. Ymir already knows what's coming and she stifles a laugh. Eren furrows his eyebrows in confusion, oblivious as usual.

"No?"

"Then I believe I told you to shut up. So, Eren, shut up." I say and he walks away, leaning his back against the tree trunk. That's when I notice something. "Eren, where are your arms? And you too Ymir!" I ask them. I know Ymir lost some of her limbs, but not all four of them. Eren suddenly glares, facing another tree in front of us. I didn't realize the two innocently standing up there, listening in to our conversation.

Reiner and Bertholdt.

"Ask THEM," Eren says, hardening his voice. Reiner sighs and Bertholdt just seems scared. I turn my head to face them, glaring as hard as I could. I should have trusted my blind instincts or whatever you call it.

"Fuck, I KNEW it." I mumble under my breath, cursing at myself for not being more careful. Now Ymir and Eren are caught too.

"Look, we didn't want to hurt you guys, I already explained this to them." Reiner starts.

"Mhm," I reply. "Guess you didn't mean to kidnap me or give me this wicked headache either."

Reiner sighs again.

"Y/n, I-"

"Don't give me any of this 'I didn't mean for this to happen' bullshit. Don't even TRY it." I say, glaring. Reiner recoils a bit and I'm happy that I made him scared.

"What I don't understand is why you took
Y/n." Ymir interrupts. That gets me thinking. She's right. I'm not a titan, I've been hurt multiple times and not healed on my own. I don't think I have any 'special powers' unless you call echolocation a sixth sense or some shit like that. I'm blind which is a setback. Why did they take me?

"I'm actually not sure. It might just be because she's a really good fighter and a setback if she's not on our side." Bertholdt says. I shrug.

"What do you mean 'i'm not sure'? Does that mean you have instructions from someone to do this? Also, if you wanted a good fighter, you should have taken Levi." I say. The two of them freeze up. I know that I'm right, I must have hit a nerve.

"No, we are doing this on our own." Reiner says, a bit too sharply.

"As for the Levi thing, he wasn't there. You were the next best thing." Bertholdt finishes.

"Wow, I'm flattered." I say before adding something else. 'Also, if you're gonna lie, at least make it believable," I mumble, rolling me eyes. "Because that was a pathetic excuse for one." Reiner growls a bit, and Bertholdt holds him back by whispering stuff in his ear. Now, a normal person wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying, but who said I was normal?

"Don't forget you're a warrior, Reiner. After we take them home, we can be free. Free. Be a warrior, we have no choice but to die soon either way." Bertholdt says and Reiner nods. What does that even mean? Are they going to be killed or something? All of this thinking and echolocation is making my head hurt even more than it already does. I decide to inspect my surroundings instead. We're in the forest where Annie attacked us. Since Reiner was running in his titan form, he needed to rest. I already know that the others are probably coming after us. They can't bear to lose Eren to the other side. There are also titans around us. They're standing on the ground, trying to get over to us. I cringe at their nails scratching on the tree bark.

But, I cant help but to feel something else.

What if I'm not who I think I am?
