CHAPTER 17 —kill her
too many emotions surged through you at once. your eyes widened is disbelief as you glanced over to one lifeless body to the next, each body a painful reminder of the bond you all shared. they were more than just comrades—they were family to you, each one thread woven into the fabric of your life.
but seeing petra's body struck the deepest cord in your heart. the once beautiful memories you shared was now tainted by the harsh reality of loss. you were an idiot to think that the two of you would live happy in the comfort of the walls. the sight of her formed a wave of sorrow and you felt as though a piece of yourself was being ripped away.
you couldn't comprehend the emptiness left behind. the future you would never share with her.
how could the world be so cruel? petra was the one person who's soul was still pure—she was beautiful.
the battle hadn't ended and eren was captured by the female. mikasa, without any hesitation went after him, gripping her blades so tight that her fingers would bruise and bleed.
but you, you froze—you panicked.
your heart was pounding outside your chest, but your eyes dull and hallow reflected nothing but shock. and just like that day, everything felt muffled. like if you were being trapped in some sick nightmare. you refused to accept the brutal reality in front of you.
"hey petra..." your mind raced as you desperately searched for signs of life. "wake up, please." you knelt beside her, hands trembling as you reached out to touch her, begging her to wake up. "petra please.."
behind you mikasa was chasing after the female titan and you knew she needed some type of support, but you couldn't even bring yourself to move. you stood helplessly over petra's body; heart shattered and eyes everything of everything but grief.
soon enough the cold truth seeped into your bones. there was no way any human could survive an attack like that.
finally out of your daze you flew over to support mikasa, but now levi was there with her.
"(y/n)." levi glared at you for a second, "you must always be there for your comrades. never lose sight of your mission."
in that moment you had been consumed by rage. prepared to sacrifice yourself if thats what it took to kill the female titan, but levi's sudden words stopped you from making an stupid decisions that were sure to get you killed. instead, you followed close behind mikasa and levi, overhearing their conversation about some type of plan they were coming up with to escape.
*clearly its not trying to eat eren. it's keeping him safe, but why? what's their goal?* you took a small detour into the forest, separating from mikasa and levi and going forth with your own plan.
you repositioned your blades, gripping them tight as you fired your ODM gear toward the titan's nape. it was clear to you that the titan was too preoccupied with trying to escape, oblivious to the three of you closing in. seizing the moment, you propelled yourself toward its vulnerable spot, determined to kill, but before you could make contact, it saw you.
quickly pulling away and flying back into the air, tossing your now broken blades and replacing them with fresh new ones. not even ten seconds later you flew back towards the titan and you realized cutting it nape was not a possibility. so instead, you sent sharp stabs throughout the rest of its body. there was no time to wait. you wouldn't give her the opportunity with leaving freely,
ten, twenty, thirty cuts.
none of it was enough to avenge the deaths of your friends.
"(y/n) what the hell are you doing?! those weren't your instructions!" levi angrily yelled out, watching as you strategically attacked the female titan. in the moment, he knew you lost control of all your sanity.
luckily, you were able to land countless strikes behind it's knees, ankles, arms, and it's jaw. helplessly, the titan feel to the ground, revealing eren who was sleeping and covered in different fluids.
mikasa quickly grabbed him and flew up to a far tree branch with levi. "he looks okay. filthy though but, it's time to pull back. cmon (y/n), pull yourself together dammit."
before leaving you couldn't help but look back at the female titan. you noticed it was crying, but it had no right to. how could the titan—the titan who took hundreds of lives cry. it made you furious and you felt your blood boil as you retreated.
if anyone was going to kill the female titan, it was going to be you.

"the female titan is annie." armin declared. "we have to kill her."
