Running From You

The taking

Eren's P.O.V

He ran back through the trees sticking to the shadows, so it was less likely for the brunet to be seen. Anything could have happened while he was away as Eren neared the bushes near his encampment he slowed a tad, he couldn't run into a unknown battle. Many years of war had taught him that, so the brunet climbed up a tree to scout out the problem, he could hear the clash of steel and a sickening slick as the steel found purchase. As he found a study branch to stand on he clutched his bow. he crouched and peered through the trees. "Knights." Eren spoke to himself as he saw the emblem on some of their shields. He looked over around camp, spying Annie first, her broad sword was drawn, her face gave away nothing, but Eren's trained eyes saw the small shake in her arms, that told him everything, next he saw Ymir, who was throwing her daggers at her adversaries, some finding purchase, other times they did not. She was relentlessly trying to dodge as the knights came to close to her, she picked up the fallen daggers as she went along. She also kept the knights from sneaking up on the others.

A blonde mass caught Eren's attention, Reiner held his shield and his sword, he sent people flying back with the force of his blows, Reiner's shield to had an emblem, two wings crossing, he meant it as a mocking, but they soon picked it has their own. Bertholdt was standing his back to Reiner, they were best when together, they always knew how the other was going to move, Bert swung his staff around, the staff was as tall as the giant and was sharpened at the ends, making it effective.

Through they fought hard, they were outnumbered. Eren sighed and took aim with his bow, he shoot a knight through the neck, he dropped like a stone, but Eren didn't stop he kept raining down on them.

"The tree, Gunther the kid is in the tree." Eren knew immediately who that voice belonged to, because in the whole kingdom only one man called him kid, that was knight captain Levi., quickly as he heard his position being given up, was as quick as he moved from branch to branch. As the brunet his the ground he tucked and rolled, getting on one knee he shot at the men with bows, they stood no chance against him or the constantly moving targets. Eren had training the five thieves as he did he soldiers, to always keep moving when you faced against archers, that way it was less likely to get shot.

"We must fall back!" Eren called as he wove between trees

"We can not fall back Eren!" Called Annie back, Eren sighed, and followed as Annie said, through he knew the chances of them getting out of here unscathed was a bit slim, but he trusted Annie. She parried with a knight, their swords above her head as the man was tall and she was on the short side, she reached down and grabbed her smaller knife slicing at her adversary's arm

"Fine, then we fight with all we got. Ymir, take to the trees, do not stop moving!" Ymir reacted quickly, she might give him problems but she followed his orders, she dodged away from her chasers. climbing a tree

"Archers take them down, we can't let them get to higher ground!" Came Levi's yell

Eren shot at the archers who raised their bows "Try it shorty! Its fun to watch you get angry!" Eren laughed "Your archers are pathetic." Eren watched as the shorter man glared at his direction, for all Eren's bravado he was still scared of the captain, he said to be the best and he use to be part of the underground, anyone who survived there was meant to be feared.

But Eren's eyes were drawn away as he saw a flash of red, 'Kasa was moving toward Annie. Now, he knew Annie could hold her own against Mikasa, but he couldn't risk it, Annie was becoming tired after facing so many. He raised his bow aiming at her leg, he didn't want to kill only cause her to withdraw. But as the brunet drew his arm, he forgot to watch his own surroundings, a sharp pain came from Eren's right side, he stumbled back a shield had hit him, a tall man with a shaggy hair, he was about tall as Bert. Eren was caused to drop his bow as the tall man stalked toward him, like he was prey, the teal eyed man knew this man, he was known as the tracker.
