The Bloom Titan (1/2)

CH.5: On the Run

"But we need you're strength!"Hanji protests.

They have been arguing with me about it for the last five minutes, begging me to join the cadets because it will profit humanity's victory.
Erwin sighs and stares me dead in the eyes. "Miss Ezlyn, if you don't do as we say, we will have to hand you into the military police for you're crimes."

"What crimes?!"I slam my hands on the table, standing up.

"Oi, sit down."Levi says pushing my shoulders back into the seat.

I huff and glare at Erwin with my green eyes. "What. Crimes?"I ask again.

"Well you may not know but, you're fathers gear is stolen and so is the gas and blades."Erwin informs me.

Stolen?! I never knew that, but why am I getting the punishment for it? Papa is dead. Unless...
"But I never committed those crimes... why would I be getting punished for them?" I question eager for an answer.

"Well it's simple kid, you used the stolen gear and you're fathers dead so you have to pay for his crimes." Commander Shadis spoke.

"But that's not fair."I say with anger seething through my teeth. "I still don't want to join the cadets."

"Well I guess we are going to have to hand you over to the military police." Shadis announces.

I had a wicked thought that could get me into serious trouble. My body is telling me to do it, same with my gut and heart. I stood up.

"Well before you do you're gonna have to catch me~." I say teasingly.

"Wait... what do you mean?" Hange asks as I adjust my cape.

"Good. Bye." I smile.

I start to charge towards the window full force bracing for impact.
"Oi! You're on the fourth floor you're going to die!" Levi says running up to me attempting to grab me.

I smash through the window at full speed. The pieces of window glimmering in the sunlight. I spun around so I'd land properly. They confiscated my gear but not my skills.

I landed on the ground with a thud I and done a backhand spring and landed facing the window I came out of and smiled at the three shocked faces.

I hid the fact I had hurt my ankles and ran off down the path I came.

I managed to get back to Maggie before long and try leave as fast as I could. Without my gear I can't do all my tricks so I remembered inside my rucksack is my old bow with more than twenty arrows. As I was riding away I flipped the rucksack in front of me so I could access the inside. I let go of Maggie's reins and rummaged through the bag for the long bow and the arrows.

I found the bow easily but the arrows were the complete opposite. I managed to get about a dozen arrows and put them in a quiver on my back.

I heard hooves behind me, and I looked to see the three I was running from on horseback, I kept going though. I grabbed an arrow off my back and pulled it back on my bow then released it. It went flying past Erwins face, just millimetres off his skin, but the noise was enough to scare his horse. It reared up and Erwin fell backwards onto the ground.
