Attack On Titan: Zero

Seasone One: Chapter 34

Y/N'S POV
"You placed your bets, Armin." Annie looked at him, then me, her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes holding a scary look to them, "Then I'll place mine. Let's see how round two goes!" Annie swiftly brought a finger to her mouth. Armin immediately pulled out a signal gun and shot a flare to signal the civilians.

The people of Sina came running from their hiding spots, grabbing Annie's arm's and immobilizing her, "It might actually be working."

"Don't get our hopes up. Anything can go wrong." On que, a small blade popped out of Annie's ring, "Shit..." She quickly brought her finger up to it, cutting herself as a flash of yellow lightning struck down where she stood.

"Come on, we're going!" Mikasa grabbed Armin and I by the collar and dragged us down the stairs, "This is a lost cause. We can't reason with her. It's over." Mikasa's voice echoed through the tunnel. She stopped and put us down, believing we were far enough from Annie.

"Not like I planned to reason with her anyway." I brushed my jacket off and looked at the two, furrowing my brows "No more talking to her. We're killing Annie." The two of them nodded.

RAYVON'S POV : Two Hours Prior
I sighed and walked into Ariel's room, her quickly looking away, small whimpers coming from her. I shook my head and walked over to her.

"I know that I'm probably the last person you want to see, and that you probably don't even wanna talk to me, I understand. But we need your help." I said to Ariel. She just sat on her bed, knees up to her chest and head facing the window, "Ariel?"

"Why did they send you? They could've gotten someone else to get me." Ariel said, her voice cracking.

"No one sent me. I'm here because I want to be." I walked over to her and knelt down, "Listen, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I shouldn't have left you when I did. I should've stayed with you and helped you, but I didn't. All that time I spent with you, it meant the most to me. If I could go back to those days, I would. I'd leave all this behind and be with you for the rest of my life. I know you probably can never forgive me for it, but just this once," She was now looking at me, "Can you help me?" I grabbed her hand and nestled it in between my palms, "We need your help. I... Need your help..." Those words were felt like a huge weight to carry around, and finally saying them to her was a relief.

Ariel's eyes began to water and her lips started to quiver, instead of a frown that I was expecting. She smiled, "A- Alright, Rayvon. I'll help you." She tightened her hand around mine.

I smiled at her as tears trailed down her face, rolling off her chin to her lap, "Thank you... Ariel..." I stood up and rested my hands on her face, my palms on her cheek as she leaned a bit, her eyes looking at my lips, "We should get going. We can't waste too much time." I let go of her and held my hand out.

She nodded and took my hand, standing up, "O- Oh yeah. L- Let's go."

RAYVON'S POV
"When do we get there? I'm getting tired of sitting and not doing shit." I sighed and leaned my head back in the seat. Acting as Y/n's double wasn't anything fun.

"Shut it, you monster. We should've known a human turning into a Titan was a bad thing to keep around. They should've just killed you when you first transformed." The soldier beside me spat, his friend spitting on the floor.

I looked at the spit in grimace, "How disgusting. Although, I didn't expect anything clean from a pig." I smiled and looked at the two.

"W- What's with the tone?! Don't you know your superiors!?" The man stuttered out, not expecting the 'monster' to talk back to him.

"Like I care." I sighed and looked off to the side, noticing the sky had turned yellow with a huge lightning strike, "Well that's interesting."

The carriage suddenly stopped and the driver looked at us, "S- Sir! A T- Titan! There's a Titan in Wall Sina!"
