A Little Bit Human (Erwin x OC)

51: Separated

Song: Make it out Alive   by Tanner Usery, Jessi England 

A/N: Please don't judge this song because it's country. It's SO Good. Also yeah, I know I'm posting this way outside my normal posting time. I could not stop thinking about how excited I am to post this, so I did it early. But don't worry, the normal Monday chapter will still come out tomorrow. Love you all!!!!

Reiner threw his head back, leaning more into the blade in his neck, triggering his titan transformation. Lillian, Levi, and Armin all clung to the wall as the yellow lightning shot out in front of them and a wave of heat washed over them. There was only a second of silence before the sound of more lightning came crashing down behind them.

"What the hell was that?" Lillian gasped.

"My guess is either the furry bastard, or the tall one." Levi said. The three of them began to climb back up the wall, but as they did it shook from the impact of the boulder. They were confused for only a second, but after they made it to the top of the wall and saw the Beast Titan and a pile of rocks at the entrance of Shiganshina it all made sense.

Lillian took her spot back next to Erwin, and Levi took his spot of the other side of Erwin as they looked out at the scene before them. The Beast Titan and many other dumb titans were now surrounding them, barricading them.

"Commander." Levi spoke up. "He's about to climb." Behind them the Armored Titan was in a crouched position, ready to pounce at the wall any moment. Then he did. His hands and feet had been crystallized, making it easier for him to climb.

"Soldiers!" Erwin yelled. "You are not yet to engage the Armored Titan! Maintain a safe distance." Instead of scattering or moving at all Erwin stayed and surveyed everything in front of him. "They have one more intelligent titan. It's that quadruped type. Though there may well be others."

Lillian narrowed her eyes at the ugly thing. Just like the other dumb titans it was just standing there. But it also had cargo on its back. You definitely couldn't do something like that with a normal titan, unless they were like Eren and possessed the Founding Titan.

The Beast Titan roared and smashed his fist into the ground. With the signal, the titans that were around four meters and under started to run towards them.

As the Armored Titan came closer, the Scouts on top of the wall became more restless.

"Sir, what now? The Armored Titan is almost up!" Armin announced. "Bertholdt hasn't shown up yet, but he must be nearby!"

"Yes, I'm well aware." Erwin didn't speak again for a while after that.

"You finally ready to say something, Erwin?" Levi asked. "Been waiting so long I could've made breakfast."

Breakfast sounded good. Bread with some butter and some eggs. Even bacon sounded good, although Lillian knew she would throw it up in a second due to how greasy it was. But bacon was always worth the risk.

"Dirk Squad and Marlene Squad, too! Join Klaus Squad and protect the horses at the gate! Levi Squad and Hange Squad! I need you to take down the Armored Titan. Employ the thunder spears at your own discretion. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objective! This is our moment. Our chance to strike. The fate of humankind depends on this battle! Lay down your hearts and lives one final time, for humanity!"

One final time, Lillian thought. This would be her final time, and hopefully Erwin's.

"Commander." She stood in front of him, making his attention be on her. "You didn't give me an order."

"Hold on you two!" Erwin ignored Lillian for a moment and called Levi and Armin back. Once the two had stopped running and turned back towards Erwin he turned his attention to his wife. "You will take over Levi's squad."
