The Day I'd Never Forget

Chapter 7

We had made it back to Karanes District right before it hit ten o'clock.

"Ah, finally. felt like the longest ride ever..." Sasha stated while hopping off her horse.

"...FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!" She then yelled loudly before running inside excitedly.

"Holy-" I started to say.

"Ah...dammit she's gonna try and get all the food first if we don't hurry! C'mon!!" Connie exclaimed, before running inside the dining halls with Jean and Historia. Armin, Hange, Levi, and Mikasa stayed behind, letting Jean, Historia, and Connie deal with Sasha.

"Jeez..hope they can manage her. She's a full blown demon when it comes to food.." Armin truthfully stated.

I snickered a bit, now sitting up in the wagon. My legs didn't hurt as much anymore so I assumed I could walk at least enough to get inside.

"Eren, can you walk yet?" Mikasa asked, looking back at me. 

"I can try."

I was still a bit sore, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

"I'll be good...you guys go ahead inside before Potato girl eats everything."

"Eren, c'mon hop on my back." Mikasa demanded.

"I can walk well enough to get inside. It's fine, trust me..."

It gets old when your half sister is always so worried about you. I was grateful to have someone like her in my life but sometimes I'd wish she'd lay off..

I crawled out of the cart slowly at my own discretion.

Standing on the solid ground, I stretched and proceeded to walk towards Mikasa, Armin, Levi and Hange who were all still outside. Hange was busy putting the horses up.

"Let's go..I'm honestly starving like hell." I complained.

"I'll help Hange with the horses, we'll be inside in a bit." Levi informed us all.

"Yes sir." Armin said.

The three of us then made our way inside the dining quarters.

"What. The. Fu-...."

I stood there with my eyes widened and mouth hanging open only a bit. Armin had the same expression, and Mikasa kept her usual blank stare, not surprised by what we were all seeing..

The dining hall was a total mess!

Sasha had gone rouge..again. I guessed that nobody was able to stop her in time.

There was food scattered all over the table, and Connie had Sasha pinned down on the floor at the other side of the room. She had a piece of meat in her mouth and layed there, squirming on the floor like a maniac.

"I hate it here." Jean said with an annoyed look. He was cleaning up the tables with Historia. They fixed up the decor and placed the food as it was before.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! HELP ME!" Connie yelled at the three of us, still struggling with Sasha.

I didn't have the strength to run and help. Armin and Mikasa made it across the room and helped the best they could and I remained in that same spot, rolling my eyes.

"Sasha, we talked about this!!" Armin shouted at her, trying to keep her still. "We-..ugh! We all need to..e-eat too y'know!"
He struggled with her as she started to overpower him. She was growling like some sort of wild animal, and had wild animal strength.

"Armin, Connie, move." Mikasa said from behind them.

She looked down at Sasha on the floor with a sort of devious, not-so-nice stare. Armin and Connie moved out of harm's way and both fell back on a bench behind them that went to one of the tables.

Mikasa took the meat out of Sasha's mouth by force and proceeded to put her in a choke hold.

"H-hey! Don't kill her!!" Connie shouted at Mikasa. 

"I'm not. What kind of barbarian do you take me for? I'm just putting someone to sleep so the rest of us can have a good meal." She said with her blank, yet murderous stare.

Sasha was tapping on Mikasa's arm saying to let her go.

"Will you calm the hell down?!"

Sasha nodded vigorously, just wanting it to stop. Mikasa then let her go slowly. Sasha began coughing and breathing heavily.

"Ugh-!" She exclaimed in agony. She then looked up to see everyone staring at her in anger and annoyance. "Eh heh..s-sorry..."

Jean facepalmed. "What are we gonna do with you..."

"Someone get me a rope." Mikasa demanded.

Connie looked to his right and saw a rope in the corner of the room. I was still by the door we came in from, watching everything happen. I decided to sit down at one of the tables. I was so tired from that day that all I wanted was to eat, shower and go to bed.

Connie ran to get the rope and tossed it to Mikasa.

"Don't try anything. I won't hesitate to knock you unconscious." Mikasa casually said to Sasha while tying her up against a pillar in the room.

"Thank god...I thought we'd never get to eat." Connie sighed, relieved.

Jean and Historia managed to finish fixing the table and cleaning up the floor without anyone noticing.

"Look, I'll give you your food, but don't get crazy again. If you're gonna go crazy it better be at killing titans."

Sasha nodded and drooled, still hungry. Mikasa took a tray from the table and placed it on the floor where Sasha was tied up.

"What was all that noise just now??" Levi called out from behind me, causing me to jump. It was as if he came out of nowhere.

I looked behind me to see him and Section Commander Hange standing in the doorway.

Everyone instantly began to have mini-freakouts, nervous that Levi would scold them for any mishaps.

"N-nothing sir. We handled it, sorry." Historia spoke up to say. She then pointed to Sasha in the corner, who was munching on her food like a lunatic.

"Tch..shoulda known huh."

"Let this be very clear to all of you. I won't hesitate to cut up your little friend if she doesn't learn to control herself."

He gave a stern look indicating he wasn't kidding around, but I knew Levi well enough. Yes he's cold hearted, but he wouldn't kill a comrade over something so foolish.

He was bluffing, just trying to scare them into keeping her under wraps.

"Y-...yes sir.." Jean said, now afraid.

Luckily though, they managed to clean up before Levi and Hange walked in, or else it would've been a bigger problem being the cleaning freak he is.

Not long after that, we all were able to sit down and finally eat. I eventually went over to the other side of the room to join. I didn't go in the first place simply because I didn't feel like dealing with Sasha's bullshit again.

With the horses put away, and food on the table, we all relaxed and had good conversations throughout the night. The food was great, and I grew more sleepy by the second because of it.

About an hour and a half later, the whole team finished eating, and some had already gone to bed. Sasha had fallen asleep..still tied up on her pillar. Levi untied the rope so when she woke up she could just go to her room instead of being on the uncomfortable floor all night.

Soon enough, the dining hall went silent. Everyone had gone inside their rooms after cleaning up after themselves, and fell victim to the peaceful night's effect.

All except me.
