It took 2 days to sail the endless salty seas towards Marley. Before arriving on the docks of Marley, the whole ship was searched to make sure there were no traces of any military symbol any of the sort or anything that could tie back to Paradis . Pulling up to the docks, all the eyes of the soldiers guarding the sea lines were beyond intimidating.
"Hold up right there" once of the soldiers called out as your ship slowed towards the docks. "Where are you pulling in from?" He asked keeping a hand on his gun in case he needed to.
"Up north sir" Erwin suddenly spoke emerging towards the front on the crowded boat. He then continued to state a place in which none of you have heard. The soldier stood there for moments before clearing his throat.
'Very well, any weapons aboard?" He asked as he watched some of the other neighboring soldiers docking the boat.
"Just some swords for our protection along the seas." Erwin smiled. All your odm gear was stashed within the build of the ship. Some place that couldn't be found unless you were to disassemble the boat so there was no chance of them finding any of it.
"You will leave those abroad yes?" The soldier spoke as he helped the wooden ramp place onto the edge of the dock.
"Of course! No need for them here." Erwin smiled as he was the first to take a step.
"Welcome to Marley." The soldier finally smiled extending a hand to Erwin. As everyone started to leave the ship, Erwin stood off to the side of the ramp waiting for you. Once your eyes found his in the mess of heads squabbling around, he smiled and extended his hand out to you.
"Where are we from?" You asked lowly trying to figure out how Erwin came up with such a place.
"It exists, no need to worry." He chuckled lowly as you resided next to him.
"How did you know?" You asked furrowing your brows.
"Hoover's memories" Erwin said slightly blunt. You nodded and watched as the scouts parted ways towards the buildings of Marley.
"You're not gonna tell them the plan?" You asked quickly turning your head to look at at Erwin who now had a smile plastered on his face.
"They already know the plan." He spoke softly and you raised your brows.
"We'll I don't so enlighten me on why I don't know?" You asked quickly turning your full body towards Erwin. He huffed light before parting his lips to speak.
"There are reasons you weren't told" Erwin spoke calmly and it infuriated you.
"You've got to fucking joking?" You snapped. "What's the reason this time you're keeping me from doing my job correctly?" You growled and Erwin quickly raised his hand to begin to interfer but a voice caught your attention.
"Language brat." A voice erupted from behind you causing you to whirl around to greet Captain Levi. He stopped a few feet next to Erwin and turned his full attention towards you. "You are kept in the dark for various reasons. Our biggest reason being Reiner-" you cut his off rather quickly.
"Excuse me?' You spoke in disbelief. "You're basically saying you don't trust me to not run off to find Reiner and suddenly feel the urge to tell him our plan?"
"Y/n listen-" Erwin began but you turned and lifted your hand halting his Sentence.
"Nope, I'm done with this conversation." You shook your head walking away from Erwin and Levi to catch up with Connie, Sasha, and Jean who were not too far waiting on you.
"Are you okay?" Sasha asked quickly noticing your displeased look.
"Never better, now can we go get food, I'm starving?" You asked dropping your shoulders quickly leaning your head against Jean's shoulder.
"No harassing the people who are selling the food Sash." Connie warned as you all began walking towards the crowded streets. Sasha just rolled her eyes and focused her attention on the large booths and the wonderful smell that lingered the air.
—————
Sasha dragged the three of you around the streets of Marley for hours. We were each displayed a certain amount of spending money and Sasha of course spent it within the first hour. Then she begged us to borrow some of ours for all the new foods she wanted to try. Connie was the only one who didn't give in. Smart man. The sun started to lower from its height in the sky as it neared the evening. Connie had taken Sasha to find somewhere to nap as she had put herself into a food coma where as Jean offered t0 stay with you. You two sat at a bench table slightly placed on the outside of the chaos. You both faced the streets seeing the happy, enthusiastic energy every gave off. They had no worry, no stress, none of what everyone had on Paradis. Jean quickly stood up when his eyes caught sight of Mikasa with armin.
"There she is! I'll be right back y/n!" He basically hollered taking off into the crowd.
"Go get ''em tiger." You chuckled as you spoke out but obviously Jean was too far gone to hear. Your eyes fell onto a small group of 4 young kids around the age of what? Maybe 12-13, gawking over the booth of sweets. Behind them stood the very blonde who was the one person you begged yourself not to see Reiner Braun. You gasped and your body tensed up when his eyes started to wander the crowds. You bolted up from a sitting down and almost fled but he had saw the quick motion out of the corner of his eyes. He turned almost pale like he saw a ghost when your eyes met his. Without hesitation, you broke the gaze and booked it down the nearing alley as fast as you could.
Your heart wanted nothing more than to jump out of your throat, it was beating so fast. You quickly took the opportunity to look behind you mid run and in doing so, you suddenly crashed into a hard body that appeared quickly. Their hands gripped your upper arms as they pulled you to the side of the neighboring building. Once you're eyes processed the body, you started thrashing giving no second look at who had you.
"What are you doing here!?" The voice spoke and your body froze, letting your eyes trail the body up to see their Marleyan warrior uniform and to match a very grown up close Reiner. You heart felt like it fell into your stomach.
"I-I.." you couldn't find words to leave your mouth. You had one job to stay in the low and you get caught by the very person that could threaten the whole plan Commander Erwin had. You were fucked and you may have just corrupted everyone who was considered 'undercover'. What was gonna happen now?
