Mina's POV
Nightmares are not unusual. Memories of my nauseating experiences would come and visit every time I slept, making sure to haunt every sanity that remained within me. However, the day that I asked Ymir to give some of my memories back from the rumbling, what haunted me instead was a memory of a young girl with a man hugging her.
Upon seeing her blonde hair and hairstyle, I instantly realized who this young lass was. It didn't take me a second to also realize who was hugging her small frame.
It must be her father, I thought to myself as I continued to watch their interaction.
All this time, Annie Leonhart is fighting for the sake of coming back to him. It was her motivation to keep her sanity intact while murdering countless Eldians. To her, no matter how much bloodshed she makes, it was all for the sake of coming back to her home – to her father.
How sweet... how sickeningly sweet, Annie.
"H-How," Her eyes began to tremble as I removed my blade from her shoulder. Blood instantly gushed out, something that I could ignore due to how fast her healing process was. So, instead of prioritizing her wound, I removed my cape and draped it over her body. In addition, I also lifted the hood to cover her face. "How did you,"
I hummed. "That's not important right now, is it, Annie?"
She visibly gulped, showing her true emotions. In an attempt to eradicate someone who knows their existence, she immediately lifted her hand, one that contains a ring.
I chuckled at how predictable she was acting as I immediately attacked her nape, taking her consciousness away in the process.
"Rest well, Annie," I whispered to her ear and took her ring just when her body fell limp into my arms. "Because I'll show you the true meaning of hell once you wake up."
Now, after dealing with the female titan, all that was left for me was to tackle my concern about keeping the information of our successful capture a secret. I can't have the Military Police and the Survey Corps personally decide what to do with her because I have something I need to accomplish.
And I can't do it without Annie Leonhart's help.
After lifting her unconscious body and placing it over my shoulder, it was then that I noticed how severely my hand got burned. I still couldn't feel any pain from it, but it looked so ghastly! Nonetheless, I finally stepped outside the mist, making us visible to everyone present.
"Mina!" Captain Hange's voice called out to me as they jogged their way toward my figure. I took a step forward as a compromise to meet them in between. "You reckless brat, come here!"
"You're becoming like Captain Levi, captain."
She groans. "Never mind that, let me see your hand!"
With a harsh pull, my right hand, which got severely burned, continued to gush out blood, making the other soldiers who saw it pale. However, my wound wasn't my priority, so as loudly as I could, I spoke. "Captain, the female titan froze her heart. She won't be able to wake up any time soon."
"What?" It was then that our gazes connected, letting me see the confusion in her expression. "Didn't you,"
But before she could say anything else, I intervened. "She's not going to wake up, captain. Instead of crystallizing herself on the outside, due to my interference, she was pushed to crystalize her heart instead. You all saw the blue light, right? I verified it earlier. It isn't beating."
Please, Captain.
Using my wounded hand, I slightly gripped her arm and pleaded.
Please notice what I'm trying to do.
