Scars to Your Teacup [Levi Ackerman x OC]

Ch. 32 - Blink

Scarlett's POV

There I laid in Titan's stomach, the acid burning my skin. I felt like I was in a pot of boiling hot water, already feeling the burn blisters forming. I could feel the dead bodies all around me. The grim hands touch me, despite being able to see in the dark. I heard the squishing sound of a body part as I stepped on it to get a higher elevation. I could sense another human was here with me since they were crying.

"You injured?" I ask. I hear and feel the stomach acid moving as the person follows the sound of my voice. I could feel hands grasping all around my uniform.

"Ma'am!" I instantly recognized the voice, it was Finn. "My fingers from my right hand have bitten off." I feel him tighten his grip on my uniform, "We're gonna die, aren't we?"

"Not while I'm here. Do you have your blades?" I feel one of his hands removed from my body, as I heard him patting his pants, trying to get a feel.

"Yes."

"Okay... We're going to get out of here. We're going to hack our way out of here for God's sake, right through this fucker's gut, you hear me?"

"Wouldn't it regenerate?"

"There's two of us. If we are quick enough, we will make it."

"Okay, Captain." I could hear the tremble in his voice.

I reach my hand down my uniform to grab my blades, he does the same. With one arm wrapped one another, helping each other to swim past the stomach acid to the lining of the stomach. "Lunge!" We lunged our blades deep, dragging it down slashing. We could already feel the steam regenerating, "Faster!" We kept lodging our blades over and over, shriveling ourselves an opening.

I pulled Finn by the waist, as I tightened my grip on him. My other hand pressing the trigger of my ODM gear, releasing my grappling hook; praying it hooks on anything. I pressed on the ODM gas once I thought the hook was secure, and we burst out, flying out of the Titan's guts with our feet. We propelled to a tree as we looked to our left, many Titans were chasing Reiner, Bertholdt, and Ymir, who was retreating.

I dropped us on a branch, both of us panting, trying to regain our breaths. I start coughing because of my broken ribs, and I groan from the pain. We watched as the Titan fell, beginning to regenerate itself. On the far right corner, we spotted the soldiers retreating back to the wall. By their direction, they are riding to the Trost District.

I undo a button on my cloak. I bundle it up and start to wipe the acid away. Despite this, there are burn blisters all over our naked flesh. I throw my cloak to Finn, "Use my cloak to wipe the acid, that should ease the burns." He nods and does as he is told.

As the Titan stands up again after regenerating, our gaze is drawn to it. In addition, five additional Titans have lost interest in the traitors and have come to our location. "Captain!" Finn calls out, panic in his voice. We lean our backs onto one another, our hands fasten on our blades.

"Can't we have a break, fucking hell!" I snarl in pain, as I try to hold in my cough. Two hands are already trying to reach out for us, we both slice off their fingers before they could grab a hold of us. We continued defending ourselves, the best we could, with barely anywhere to go without a horse or any trees to use our ODM gears.

As if pure fucking luck, I heard the neighing of a horse... Not just any horse, Midnight! I immediately whistle to inform him of our location. Finn sliced another Titan's hand while I performed this action. I quickly grab hold of Finn, by the waist once more. "Hold on!" I scream out, propelling my ODM gear on a Titan's back, dodging the other Titans' bodies and hands, I land us on Midnight's saddle.
