Do Reiner and Bertholdt know something about me that I don't know? Or was it just their orders to get me too? I kind of ignore it and decide to stall time and give the others enough time to reach here and save us.

"So that's it? All of these years fighting together, fighting for each other, was for nothing? There's no way." I say, hurt evident in my voice. I feel a wave of sadness from both of them, and I know I hit a nerve.

"I-" Bertholdt starts.

"It's not like that, Y/n." Reiner says.

"Yeah? Well that's what it seems like. Did you even care when they all died? When Petra, Oluo, Eld, and the rest of Squad Levi died? When my squad died? When Marco died?!" My voice gradually becomes louder. I feel immediate guilt when I said Marco's name.

They didn't...

They didn't kill him, did they?

Even they wouldn't stoop that low as to kill a friend? Jean's best friend?

If Annie could kill my squad, they could kill Marco. But, I need to make sure.

"Oh god... you guys killed him, didn't you?" I say, horror in my voice. I can basically SEE the guilt pouring out of them. And I cant even see.

"I-" Bertholdt started to panic.

"No." Reiner says, trying to lie. "We didn't." (bitch, who're you tryna fool
🙄✋)

I just glared at them and turned away, refusing to talk.

*time skip through all the stuff with ymir cuz i'm lazy :)*
Soon enough, we are on the move again. I sigh as I roll my eyes at the irony of them putting a blindfold on me. I mean, bitch, i'm already blind so this ain't doing shit. I'm tied up in the corner, Eren and Bertholdt next to me while we are in the Armored Titan's arms. Ymir went with them last minute, but I know it's because she wants to protect Historia. Then, I hear something in the distance.

It's them.

They're here.

I really hope none of them die trying to save us. But wait, they're run the trees. How are they going to get here without horses? Then, I smell something else. Or should I say SOMEONE else.

Commander Erwin.

With horses.

I also smell Trigger with them. I start to smile, happily fidgeting at the thought of my lovely black stallion coming to save me. I sense a wave of confusion from Eren. I already know what he's thinking.

"Why are you so happy?" Bertholdt asks for him and he nods to confirm the question. I stare at him blandly until he gets the hint. "Oh wait, you're gagged." he finished sheepishly. I glare at him, for making it sound like he's mocking me, even though I know he isn't trying to. You can act like you're friends, but you can't fake your whole personality. Not for this long.

Then, people land right outside where the three of us are right now.

"Eren! Y/n! Are you guys okay?" Mikasa asks. My face lights up in happiness as I string out a plethora of noises trying to form words and rant to the others about what happened. I just sense confusion. I think being kidnapped has made me significantly dumber.

"Bertholdt, let them go," Armin says.

"I can't." Bertholdt replies, getting nervous.

"Why would you guys even do this? Was all of this even real?" Armin asks, hurt evident in his voice.

"WHY WOULD WE CHOOSE TO DO THIS?!" Bertholdt suddenly yells. "Why would anyone WANT to do this? It wasn't our choice! We were forced to! Our times as cadets with you guys were the best years of our lives! So if we were really your cadets then SHOW US THE WAY! HELP US DO THE RIGHT THING! Help us, please..." Bertholdt finishes his speech, leaving everyone speechless (those probably aren't the right words, and i'm sorry for that haha, but i was too lazy to check for the real ones). That was probably the most amount of words he's ever spoken in his life.

"Give them back." Mikasa quietly says.

"I'm sorry. I cant." Bertholdt replies, and Eren goes into a frenzy, kicking around like a baby throwing a tantrum. "Wha- what are you doing?! Stop it!"

"Have you MET the guy?! He's the most stubborn motherfucker in the world, he won't just stop if you tell him to!" Jean says, actually sounding proud of Eren for once. All at once, people from the outside start going for Reiner, causing him to forcefully move his hands. Titan surround us as well, causing everyone but Armin to go and fight. I'm about to drop, but Bertholdt grabs me before I can.

God dammit.

"DONT DIE!" Connie and Sasha yell as they depart. I roll my eyes.

Suddenly, I sense a weird sensation from Armin. He- he's gone... crazy?

"So you're really gonna do this?" he quietly starts, making it scarier than it should be. I never thought i'd be remotely scared of a cinnamon roll, yet here I am. "You're gonna leave Annie behind?" I feel Bertholdt freeze. "After all's he's done for you? She's your comrade! Your friend! And you're just going to leave her like that? I can hear her screams at night. They sound so painful. They're going to kill her if you don't get her out of there, yet here you are, abandoning her." I can practically see the crazed look in his eye. Then, out of nowhere, Mikasa attacks Bertholdt, causing him to drop both me and Eren. Mikasa catches Eren, while I'm free falling. Then, I sense Jean catch me and cut off my binds, also taking of my blindfold and gag.

"Are you okay?" he asks and I nod.

"Perfectly fine. Bleh, talking feels weird." I say, moving my mouth around to get the saliva in the dry places.

"THATS what you're worried about right now?" Jean asks in disbelief.

"I couldn't live if I couldn't talk. Plus, you'd miss my amazing voice too much." I reply.

"I think you hit your head somewhere." I hear Jean mumble. He then puts me on the ground, away from titans. "I'll get you some extra gear, stay here." he says.

"HEY THAT RHYMED!" I yell at him as he flies off. I sense him roll his eyes and I chuckle a bit (i'm not the only one who used to say 'that rhymed' after stuff like that, right?).

Then, I sense something.

Something that's not good.

"COMMANDER ERWIN, WATCH OUT!"
