I Can't Lose You [Eren Yeager x Reader]

20. Destruction in Stohess District

This will be my last chapter for this story. I'll explain why in the thank you chapter after this one

As I emerged from the tunnel I saw Mikasa already trying to cut the female titan down. She's good. There's no way I could measure up to her.

I landed on a roof next to Jean. "What's the plan now?" I asked him.

"I- I don't know..." he replied. "Let's just try to keep her occupied until Eren finally gets his ass up."

I looked at Mikasa and the female titan again. The female titan swung her arm at Mikasa, causing the buildings to collapse... on top of the tunnel.

Jean and I immediately flew over to where the tunnel is, or was. We saw Armin trying to lift up a big piece of concrete. "Armin what happened?!" I said, landing on the ground.

"It's Eren! The buildings collapsed on him!" Armin replied.

I looked at Eren's lifeless body under all the rubble. I immediately helped Armin try to get everything off of him. "Eren! Wake up please! I can't lose you... again!"

The female titan was coming this way, the soldiers tried their best to get her to go the other way, but it was no use.

"Listen you two," Jean said. "Let's get out of here, there's nothing we can do for him."

Armin stood up and said, "He's right Y/n, let's just give Eren some time."

"No!" I screamed. "We can't just leave him here! We have to help him!"

Jean grabbed me and tried to get me away from Eren. "There's nothing we can do! Y/n let's go!"

"No! Please we can't be doing this!" I screamed.

Jean picked me up, slung me over his shoulder and ran away from Eren.

"I'm sorry Y/n but this is for the best!" Armin said, following Jean.

I lowered my head, not bothering to resist anymore. What's wrong with me? I can't just leave him behind...

We flew up to a roof, and Jean put me down. "Sorry Y/n." he mumbled.

I slowly stood up and said, "Let's just go." I flew towards the female titan. I looked for Mikasa but she was nowhere to be seen. Where is she?

I followed not far behind the titan, hoping to find Mikasa. Then I saw the same arrows from before being shot at the female titan once again. The female titan fell over, and soldiers placed a net over her. I saw Hange and Moblit on one of the rooftops and flew over to them.

"And they said having a plan C was nothing more than just being paranoid," Hange said. "Erwin, you did it again."

"Wait, there was a plan C?" I asked.

"Yup!" Hange replied. "And it worked perfectly!"

Hange flew down towards the female titan and held a sword up to it's eye.

"What do they plan on doing to her?" I asked Moblit.

"I don't know... I'm guessing lot's of crazy experiments." Moblit sighed.

"Sounds like Hange alright." I said.

I then heard a creaking sound. I looked at the female titan, she looked like she was trying to escape. Eventually, she broke through the traps.

"Damn it! We didn't set enough traps!" Hange shouted.

The female titan started running towards the wall. Is she planning to escape? Doesn't she need Eren?

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind me. I looked in that direction. Could that be Eren?

Armin then landed next to me. "What happened? Did Eren manage to transform?" I asked him.

"I think so... though, I don't know what sparked him to do it." Armin replied.

"Looks like he finally came to his senses."

I looked behind me to see Mikasa. Jean was holding her up.

"Mikasa!" I cried. "There you are! What happened to you?!"

"Nothing, I'm fine now." she said, pushing Jean away.

Before I could say anything, a titan ran past us and towards Annie. "Is that...?"

"It's Eren!" Armin said.

Eren punches Annie, and she falls into the church behind her. Annie immediately got up and got into a fighting stance.

"Do you think... Do you think he stands a chance?" Moblit asked.

"I don't know... Annie is a pretty great fighter." Jean said.

"He can do it," I said. "I know he can." I held my necklace to my heart.

Annie kicked Eren into a building, as the building crumbled to pieces. Eren bit on
her leg, as she tried to get him off. She continuously bashed his head in until he let go of her. Then, Annie made a break for the wall.

"She's getting away!" Hange shouted.

We followed Annie to the wall. She started climbing it.

"She's going to escape!" Armin said.

"Not on my watch." I said.

Before I could do anything, Eren ran past us once again and clung onto her legs, trying to get her down. He looked different.

I decided to ignore that and flew over to Annie. I cut off her fingers and landed on her forehead as she was falling. "Goodbye Annie. I'm sorry."

Annie then fell onto the ground and Eren landed on top of her. He hovered over her and roared. He bit her nape, just enough so we could see her.

"Oh no! He's gonna swallow her whole!" Hange said.

"Eren no!" I shouted.

All of a sudden, Eren stopped. He just stayed there, looking at her.

I landed near Hange and everyone else. "What is he doing?" Mikasa asked.

Just then, another flash of light appeared. This time, a blue one.

"They... they're merging!" Armin shouted.

"Meriging?! But how?!" Jean said.

I watched as a crystal formed around Annie. She's trying to protect herself! I looked closely at her and noticed the tears flowing down her eyes. So that's why he stopped...

I flew over to Eren as the titan bodies started to disintegrate. He looked sort of peaceful. I hugged him tightly and said, "What is wrong with you?! I can't keep losing you like this! This is the third time Eren!" I sobbed, while burying my face in his neck.

"Shit!" Jean shouted.

I looked over at him. He was hitting Annie's crystal with his sword. All that did was shatter his sword.

"Annie! Wake up! I know you can hear me! What the hell?! All this destruction and death... and we get nothing out of it!" Jean said, still trying to break through the crystal.

"That's enough," Captain Levi said, grabbing Jean's hand. "It's over, there's nothing we can do."

Was all this... really just for nothing?
