Everyone was still processing what they had just seen, Mikasa's hand was still hovering over the bag, in shock. Eren finally regains feeling he had seemingly lost in his legs and crouches down near the bag. He opens it fully, taking out it's contents carefully, as if they were bound to explode spontaneously.
Each set of gear was intact, not a scratch on them. There was an eerie silence before faint stomping was to be heard and all of our heads immediately turned to the far off noise and there was a collective and silent agreement made.
Eren swiftly but carefully handed each person a set of gear, putting his on after. No one said anything as they each took off and started for Wall Maria, no one could. The titans behind them were long gone. They kept our eyes open for Sasha and Jean, to see if they had fallen or gotten hurt. Nobody saw anything for about two miles.
Finally, they heard something. Unfortunately for them, it was Sasha's screaming.
The scene they had walked in on was gory and gruesome, Sasha's head was bleeding, as if it had gotten hit very hard on something, she had a large gash going down her leg from where the titan's nails had dragged down into it as she struggled against it's grip. She had gotten picked up by a 4-5 meter titan, her left arm in it's mouth, about to bite it clean off. Jean stood on a tree, too shocked to move as he watched the horror in front of him unfold. Mikasa was the one to move first, she went down to slice the nape of the titans neck, she easily achieved her goal as she slashed the titans collar, practically severing it's head off.
Sasha let out a strangled choked cry as the titan's head took half of her arm with it. Her words were shrill and deafening as her forearm got mercilessly ripped off, her blood was spraying in a way that, in a sick way, resembled a fountain as she screamed and wailed in utmost agony. Sasha was hysterical and had short, fast breaths. She was soaked in her own blood along with the titans. It had fallen backwards and loosened it's hold on her. She scrambled to get out of the grip without her left forearm and below gone. Levi dove down and grabbed her unharmed arm and swung her off the titan's corpse.
Wall Maria was still distant, but not too far. Sasha only ceased screaming because she was bleeding out so much, instead she was holding her head in her unscathed arm and frantically started trying to form words in a disoriented fashion. She attempted to get up yet her coordination failed her as she fell, Mikasa caching her. She laid Sasha down on the grass in front of her and tried to calm her down as Sasha cried in her arms. "I.. don't want.. to die Mika." Sasha said in a panic, she tried to look down at her severed arm but Mikasa tilted her head up again and shook her own head. Sasha's eyes slid in and out of focus as she kept trying to speak, her skin was as white as marble by now. Mikasa felt her rapid heart rate and weak pulse. Mikasa silently cried as she watched Sasha struggle to keep living, her rapid and shallow breathing getting slower and slower with each passing second. Mikasa was soaked in Sasha's deep red blood, the color imprinted on her mind. The blood was spread everywhere, the forest was eerily quiet as Sasha took her last breaths, as if it recognized her pain and suffering.
Armin had gathered some wildflowers, and as Sasha finally drew her last gasp of air, he laid them around her as he cried. Mikasa closed Sasha's frigid, dead eyes and placed her arms resting at her side. Levi stepped foreword and said in a quiet voice, "Thank you for your service, you won't be forgotten." Eren's face was ashen as he looked down at the floor, nauseous. The only thing that disturbed the silence was their tears. Jean cried the most, he blamed himself for not being strong enough to help Sasha.
Bright Sasha, so brave and bubbly. Now all she was was a cold, empty, shell. The way back to Wall Maria was silent, and as they reached it there was a team of people waiting for them, questions spilling out of their mouths so fast they couldn't answer a single one. The voices blended together and the group rode on their horses provided to the inner circle of the city.
When they got there, they all silently yet collectively made the choice not to speak of that day. Hange waited for them to get back but when she saw their expressions she chose not to speak to them quite yet.
A crowd was gathered in front of their destination, a bar. No one in the crowd stuck out to any one of the group but Eren.
Eren caught someone's eyes. Red eyes.
A/N: I'm so sorry this took so long to publish, I promise I'll get chapters out faster, my grandfather died recently and we weren't exactly close but I had to help my family for awhile, first it was finals week and I have a lot of academic pressure from my family and my school as the workload is very demanding. Then I had to leave for freaking weeks after that to Utah to visit more family and then I attended his funeral and after that I was forced to go camping. I didn't have access to my computer for that amount of time and I don't have a phone so I couldn't do anything for a long time, for that I apologize.
Anyways enough sad stuff, I hope you guys like the new chapter! I'm sorry it's a bit short, I have some writers block lmao. Please leave feedback on how it was or any mistakes I made!
Stay hydrated and eat some food :]
