Vien's POV

Ugh, I can't stand this filthiness anymore. It's making me sick

Ever since the other two left, the ones left behind kept playing with cards. They also kept glancing at my direction which made it harder to slip my hands out of the rope

"What are you looking at you damn scout lady?" Laughed one of them

One glanced at me "If only you gave Captain what he wanted then it would've been easier for you"

I bluntly spoke "Are you that desperate to learn about us?"

"Of course, so desperate that we could die" The two of them burst into laughter at his so-called joke

Seriously, these two look pathetic

I couldn't assume that both of them were amateurs from mere glance, but the fact that they were only slacking around just confirmed it

When both of them were deep into their game, I curved my fingers up and began untying the rope. And I was a single move closer to slipping my hands out, but accidentally touching the dead leaves behind me created sounds that caught some of their attention

They both eyed me for a second, and resumed with their card game. I took the chance to untie it and was finally able to slip my hands out. But when my wrists unknowingly fell freely on the pile of leaves, my heart stopped when it caused a sound louder than before

"Oi!" One yelled "Don't you try any funny business with these experts"

Experts? How evident I rolled my eyes, and averted my gaze away

"Since it's my turn, you go and strengthen the tie on her wrists"

What he said alarmed me, but I didn't show any signs of it. One of them stood up and began walking towards me, and the confident smirk on his lips made me want to smack it off. He came, closer, closer

The man bent down to my level, and pushed my head down to take a look on my wrists. He immediately realized it was taken off so he yelled "Oi, this bitch unt-"

I cut the guy's sentence midway by arching my head backwards. The impact of it on his forehead took his guard down, so I stood up and jabbed his forehead with my elbow

A wince escaped my mouth when someone grabbed my hair from behind "This bitch" He glowered

When the man's attention was all on grabbing my hair, I reached my arms out and tried grasping his hair. But he was fucking bald, how did I forget that at a time like this?

I used my arm to jab his stomach, and when he fell backwards, I stepped on his neck with my boots' heels to stop him from moving

"The confidence you two idiots exude disgust me" I harshly glared

After another minute of dealing with two dunderheads, I managed to tie them both on the same spot I was sitting on. A knife was retrieved from one of their pockets, so I utilized it for threatening them

"Tell me boys, who's your Captain and what does he want? Are you working for the Military Brigade?"

I could sense both my eyes flaming in anger just by seeing their faces. They were clearly after our squad, and their intentions weren't nice at all. So if he was part of the system, I'd have no choice but to erase him

"Too slow, sweetheart" I whispered

The other man gasped loudly, and his eyes twitched in fear when I slit his chest without hesitation. He dropped dead in a minute, and that's when I pointed the blood coated blade on the next one's neck

"I'll ask, you" I smiled "Who's your Captain, why's he after the scouts?"

He was vigorously shaking, but the only thing audible from him was his whimpers. I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up to Levi at this rate

"You monster" He angrily muttered

I simpered "Cute. But this is just another day for the Survey Corps"

"This is why I hate scouts. Doing these won't result to anything except your executions. Starting from the most guilty man of all, Commander Erwin" He scowled

When he mentioned my brother, my eyes widen. Not in shock, but in disbelief when this man talked about Erwin's death so easily, right in front of me. I went speechless

Without sparing a millisecond, I gouged his chest with the knife. All the light from his eyes faded away, and the sound of his heavy breaths gradually stopped. He exhaled one last time, before he dropped dead

My dead gaze flicked down to the same man, as I glowered at him

"Keep his name out of your mouth"

After wiping their blood off, I took my sniper back from their bag and tried looking for 3DMG. They had none, but how were those other soldiers able to fly across the trees?

I found another sort of gun in their possession so I took it out. This, it was the same as their Captain's awhile ago. But unlike any other gun, there was another hole under the trigger. Since the hooks look similar to the ones we used, I took them along with my sniper as I headed for Trost District by myself

Vien draped their hooded capes to get passed the town entrance. As if the huge weapon on her back wasn't already suspicious, keeping a low profile was easy enough when the whole town was in panic

She saw familiar corpses both on the ground and roofs. The bullets on the road were similar to what she took from the men too. So something already happened, and Levi knew someone was after them

Not far, she recognized the same gang circling a town bar. Without hesitation, Vien pulled her sniper and began taking people out by the head. Right when she was caught, their Captain fell out of the bar. The others began going after Vien, and the others dealt with the man who shot a bullet at their Captain

"Shit, why's there so many of these scums?" Vien complained quietly

It made her assume that she'd be dealing with them all by herself, but surprisingly the other corpses she saw on the roof were people she haven't even touched. Was there someone who fought with me?

Not a second later, the sound of 3DM gear was heard approaching. And Vien was pinned to the roof tiles. She heard the sound of a blade being drawn, but all that came after that was a gasp. Taking the chance, she kicked him over and pointed the knife on his chest

"Vien?"
