Trigger warning: Mentions of gore

Eren's POV:

"I'll take on Tybur." I said, spotting him in the crowd of people.

I saw Tybur heading backstage along with a few others.

"Uh guys? We have a bit of a problem.." Sasha awkwardly said.

"The Willy Tybur guy escaped. I find him by the security cameras. I think he left the building.."

My eyes widened, sprinting across the huge room. I entered the backstage to find it empty.

"DAMN IT!" I shouted, leaving the room.

"Is there anyone else who was able escape?" I asked.

"Hmm. I don't think so. Permission to turn on the electricity?" Sasha replied.

"Sure." I said, furrowing my eyebrows.

As soon as the lights turned back on, I took off my night vision goggles.

"EREN! BEHIND YOU!" I heard Jean shout.

After hearing that, I turned around and was met with Tybur pointing a gun at me.

"How bold of you to show up here. I thought I killed you.." He muttered.

I stayed silent, glaring at him.

Footsteps could be heard, getting louder and louder as it got closer.

Armed men started to surround the others, pointing their guns towards them.

"Great ambush you did." Tybur said, clapping.

"One flaw, though. You're outnumbered." He grinned.

I reached out for my handgun, pointing it at his head.

As soon as I did that, the men grasped the others firmly.

"Put the gun down, or your friends get hurt." Tybur said, giving me a sly smile.

"Don't you dare." I bellowed.

"One wrong move and your friends die. Now, put the gun down." He said, pointing a gun at me.

"It's your choice. Your life, in exchange for theirs." He smirked.

I was furious. I looked at my friends, at Mikasa, at the people who I brought into this whole mess.

This is all my fault that they're here. Their lives are being endangered.. because of me..

I could hear them shouting at me, but I didn't listen to what they tried to tell me.

"What will it be, Eren Jaeger?"

I lowered the gun.

"Great choice." He grinned.

I couldn't bare having them die because of me. Even if I end up killing Tybur I won't be able to live with the guilt.

I dropped the gun, looking at the people I brought into this whole mess with sad eyes.

They looked at me with a bewildered expression, while I stood there, feeling defeated.

"Any last words, Eren Jaeger?"

"Don't hurt my friends." I muttered.

Am I even allowed to call them my friends after the way I put their lives in danger, over and over again?

They deserve to live, and to be happy. Things that I don't deserve to have.

"That's it? 'Don't hurt my friends'?" He laughed.
