Estella's POV :
An eternity seemed to have passed since I awoke, my hands firmly bound under the watchful gaze of Bertholdt, who eyed me warily, fearing any retaliation against Reiner and him.
" You could at least untie me; these ropes are killing my wrists". I grumbled.
" We can't do that. We don't know if you could perform magic even without your wand". Bertholdt retorted.
I rolled my eyes," Do I look like Dumbledore ? I'm not advanced enough to do that sort of thing".
" Sorry, princess, can't do". Reiner said firmly.
" Or you can at least let her stand next to me". Ymir chimed in with a raised eyebrow.
" We don't trust you". Reiner stated.
" What do you expect me to do ? I'm in no state to do anything". Ymir retorted, displaying her missing arm and leg.
I couldn't help but find these Titan powers quite convenient in this situation, but I also felt relieved to see that Ymir seemed to be in better shape than before.
As the duo remained silent, Ymir spoke up once again," Maybe you could tell us why you brought us here ? And why take Estella with you two ? It's not like she has Titan power interesting to you".
" We'll explain everything when Eren wakes up". Reiner responded curtly.
Ymir and I shared an annoyed glance, irritated by their secrecy now that they had kidnapped us, something I found utterly ridiculous.
As we endured what felt like an eternity of boredom, I finally heard a grunt as someone seemed to be waking up. I looked up to see Eren sitting down, looking a little lost.
" Oh, Eren. You're up". Reiner said.
Eren's eyes widened as he looked at me in the middle of Reiner and Bertholdt before turning to the two boys with anger. But then confusion and panic set in as he began to wiggle under a Survey Corps jacket.
" What's going on ? My arms...". Eren muttered with panic.
I was now more thankful than ever that he had his Titan power; otherwise, he would have bled to death.
Ymir quickly interjected as she saw him panic," Eren. Look, I'm in the same situation as you, and Hawkey is not better than us, unable to use her hands at all. Guess today's a rough one for the three of us".
I scoffed," Tell me about it".
" Ymir... Stella... Why don't I have arms ?". Eren muttered.
I smiled reassuringly," Don't worry, Eren. It'll be okay".
" Ah, sorry about this. I did that. I was in a hurry... I bit your neck while I was panicking, and I missed both of your arms in the process". Reiner chimed in nonchalantly.
Eren stayed silent for a moment, seeming defeated at first before speaking up again," I see... so I lost...".
But the defeated look quickly vanished, replaced by a fierce glare at Reiner and Bertholdt, causing Ymir and me to exchange glances, wondering what Eren had in his mind. But knowing him, he would only think harshly.
And it seemed I was right as Eren began to bite what was left of his arm in an attempt to transform.
" Eren ! Stop !". Bertholdt demanded.
Ymir quickly grabbed what was left of his arm to stop him," Just wait a second, Eren".
" Jay, you can't think harshly... Look where we are, and let me tell you that it's a mess". I added.
