In an Alternate Reality IV

Suspicions

Night past and morning rose. Mikasa woke up and immediately felt something was missing. She usually wakes up cuddled up with Eren, but today she was hugging a pillow instead. She instantly sat up and searched the room but saw nothing. She continued to search the room with great vigor until low yet soothing voice played in her head.

"I don't want you to panic...I know this is very sudden, but I promise I will explain as much as I can to you later...Bye."

Mikasa felt at ease and let out a sigh of relief.

"Just don't get hurt...Eren."

The night before the Squad went out for dinner at Niccolo's restaurant. Sasha had already made reservations, so she invited everyone out.

They sat around a table and enjoyed an assortment of different seafoods and other dishes. As they ate, Jean brought up the situation with Zeke.

"Have you seen the reports? What made the Military Police think it was a good idea to throw Zeke in a jail cell?!"

"I don't know. They were the ones who didn't want Zeke here Paradis. I thought they would've put him elsewhere far from any city." Armin said.

"I thought as much too. What could be going on?" Jean questioned.

"Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see."

The night continued. Everyone was holding their own conversations, but Eren was silently eating with you guess who right beside him. Eren had a feeling something was going to happen.

"Something's off I can feel it...Yelena came up with a reckless plan for us to retrieve Zeke from Marley. We killed a great many of soldiers, children, and innocents. She's planning something..."

He looked around the room and noticed that members of the Military Police were drinking the wine Yelena imported from Marley. He also noticed that his table was the only one who wasn't being served the Marlyean wine.

"Your motives are still unclear to me, Yelena. The Marlyean wine was spiked with Zeke's spinal fluids which means that he can easily turn everyone in this room into Pure Titans. Shit...This is bad. What does she think she's doing? Perhaps she's trying to destroy Eldia from within? History won't repeat itself. And for that, I will still need to pretend to cooperate with her plan for Zeke and me to finally come into contact and put an end to all this."

"Eren....Eren." Mikasa said.

Eren turned to look at her and noticed everyone getting up to leave.

"It's time to go, Eren."

"Yeah" He said as he got up and walked toward everyone else.

They all walked out the doors of the restaurant and bid each other goodbye.

On the way home, Mikasa asked Eren about earlier. He seemed very tense and spoke next to nothing.

"Eren, is something wrong? You didn't seem like your usual self earlier."

Eren let out a sigh.

"Man, she's the only person who can read me like a book."

"Well, yeah. There is something wrong.... I have a feeling everything is going to go terribly wrong. I just exactly pinpoint why."

"That's all? Well, you're never wrong when you have that feeling...Anyways, let's go get some rest."

"Yeah."

Back to the present, Mikasa sat up from the bed, and got ready for her day. As she did so, she began to think about what exactly Eren had a bad feeling about.
