Chapter XXVII. And the Sky Turned Red

Shiganshina District August 16th 11:40 AM

"Levi..." she whispered seriously, she had never seen his expression so confused. He immediately held the serum to his chest.

"Captain! You said you are going to use it on Armin!" Theia frowned at Eren's scream. Her eyes shifted to the boy's burnt body and she couldn't believe that he was still alive.

"Of course I'll use the serum on Erwin," Levi announced, but Theia heard his voice from a distance, not reaching her darkened thoughts. She wondered what was taking him so long, what he was thinking about, why he hadn't done it already. She could feel it from a distance. His doubts, but she is willing to cut them all to the pieces. She was annoyed that Levi was even listening to Eren's words, she didn't understand why he was debating with him at all. Just stand up and inject the fucking serum into father immediately. Suddenly, Levi hit Eren with the box to silence his pleas, which provoked Mikasa to draw her blades, ready to attack Levi. Theia jumped in her way almost immediately to stop the attack. The surroundings deafened the unpleasant clash of blades and Mikasa pushed Theia with brute force until her body hit the chimney hard. Theia didn't hesitate and pulled out her dagger which she used to slash Mikasa's thigh, elbowing her wrist to loosen the grip and kicking her in the ribs to point the sword in her direction again.

"What the hell do you think you're doing," Theia hissed in a low voice, glaring at Mikasa's surprised face until she was pulled into Hanje's arms. "Levi, what the fuck are you waiting for? Don't want to piss me off and inject the serum into my father, now," she ordered while coldly looking at Mikasa who was struggling to get out of Hanje's grip.

"Captain. Armin respected you so much. It was you and him, who figured out where Rainer was hiding, you talked together about the stars. After all, it was you who saved him so many times. Against bullying, against the titans. You promised his grandfather that you would take care of him!" After Eren's pleading words, she looked up at him and smiled softly.

"Eren. If you think that words work for someone like me, you are wrong. Tell me," she looked at the blue sky, through which many birds were flying. "If your mother was lying here now instead of my father, how would you decide? Would you choose Armin anyway? I'm the last person your words will reach," Eren looked down unhappily.

"Armin, he is important to humanity. He is..."

"Fuck you with the humanity! My father is lying there! Do you even understand this?! He is important to me!" She screamed. "And that serum will be used for him. Even if I have to take care of a simple decision..." she turned the blade in her palm and walked over to the motionless body of Armin.

"No!" Desperate, Eren reached out in her direction just after she put the blade to Armin's burned chest, determined to end his life with her own hand.

"Get out! Everyone! I'm the one with the serum and I decide who to give it to!" Levi intervened in the tense situation with a firm voice. "You too," he looked into Theia's face, who stood motionless for a few more seconds until she hid the blade in its place.

"This decision making is ridiculous," she said, bypassing Levi, who pulled out the body of Bertholdt to move it next to the lying Erwin.

"I told you not to go anywhere, stupid old man," Levi grumbled irritably and knelt down next to his body. "Everyone is only looking for their own business. Over and over. You're really pissing me off, everyone," he took a needle out of the box and attached it to the serum section.

"Did you ever wonder when it started? When did everything change to just black and white. When did we allow millions of questions to poison our minds? How is it possible that my heart can't take it anymore? I don't know...when did it all get so complicated. I can't anymore. I wish I could find a way out of this hell."
