The first person you spotted as you rode into camp was the tall blonde. "Jean, wait." You called out as he immediately jumped off his horse, heading towards Reiner. "What the fuck happened to you?!" Jean yelled, grabbing onto Reiner's collar and pulling him close.
"The lawmen caught Erwin! I had to run." Reiner slapped Jean's hand off of him and looked to you and Connie. "Yea, well know Erwin's dead." Jean walked away from Reiner, heading off towards your shack. "What do you mean, Erwin's dead?" Armin's voice came from the small table that he and Hange sat at.
"The lawmen got him and shot him dead." You said as you hopped off your horse and walked past Reiner. "You didn't come to the bank to help? You just ran?" You glared at him as he slowly relaxed and plopped himself down in a chair. "I don't know what to do, they were on my tail." He buried his face in his hands.
"What happened to the others?" Armin asked as he sat down with Reiner, looking up at you with tears in his eyes. "We don't know, we all just split up to try and escape." You frowned as you walked over to the butcher's table and grabbed a glass of beer out of the crate.
You felt a knot in your throat as you opened the glass and took a swig. "There they are!" Connie shouted and everyone turned to see the horses galloping into camp. The one horse without anyone on it, was Erwin's white one, which was being led by Levi. You spotted him with Erwin's body slumped over on his horse.
The man had tears running down his face as he jumped off the horse, pulling Erwin's body off the horse. You did a quick head count, seeing if everyone was there. "Wait, where's-" You began to say, but you spotted the messy dark hair slumped over, blood trailing down the horse.
Your hands began to tremble as you approached the body. "Don't fucking touch her." Eren jumped off his horse, grabbing onto Mikasa's limp body and taking it towards their tent. "Mikasa?" Armin asked as he stood up from the table, trying to get a view of her. "Eren?! What happened?!" Armin's voice cracked as he rushed towards Eren, moving Mikasa's hair out of her face.
You squatted on the ground with your head in your hands as you watched Eren lay Mikasa's motionless body on the ground. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the empty space between Armin and Eren.
"Fucking hell! We lost her as well?!" Connie shouted, collapsing onto his knees. The tears began streaming down your face, cloudy your vision as they dripped onto the ground. "It's ok." Jean walked up beside you, sitting down on the grass and wrapping his arms around you. You sat there crying silently as you buried your face into the crease of his elbow.
You could feel his cold tears trickle down your neck as he leaned his head on the back of your head. "You're ok." He said as he left a sloppy kiss on your neck and rubbed circles into your.
First Erwin, now Mikasa. Maybe if you, Jean and Connie had stayed back to help them out, she wouldn't be dead.
You felt guilty as you sat there on the grass, breaking down in the arms of Jean.

You could only hear the sounds of crickets as Levi shoveled the last bit of dirt into the graves. Jean had spent the whole night carving out crosses with the names to place as the headstones. You stood silently as you watched him shoe the crosses into the dirt.
Armin hadn't spoken a word since Mikasa's death and Eren hadn't come out of his tent. 3 deaths in the past month had taken a toll on the gang. Jean finished securing the crosses and stepped back to stand next to you. His hand snaked around your torso and held onto your waist.
People began to move away from the graves and you slid away towards your shack. "It's just about time for everything to fall apart." Jean said as he opened the door to the shack and led you inside. "We need to figure out who the fuck is with the Warriors." You began to remove your clothing, throwing them to the side.
"It has to be Reiner. He left Erwin for dead and didn't think twice about us." Jean tightened his fists and hit the wall next to him. "The person to take Erwin's place is Hange, we have to let them know." You sat down on the sheets, pulling them over you and laying down.
"I'll have a chat with them tomorrow, I just need some rest and a clear head." Jean unbuttoned his shirt and slid into the covers with you. "I'm just glad you're safe." He wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close to his chest. His soft lips kissed your forehead as you began to doze off to sleep.
