Souls Of Sorrow || Eren Jaeger X Reader

Chapter 19 - Eren

Alright guys, for the purpose of the plot I did need to change one canon crush. You probably already know who ;)

My punch is strong, throwing Reiner's face into the wall and holding him there as I drag him down with me. Pieces of the wall and small shards of armor fly in every direction. 

Dirt erupts from the ground as we land, too thick to see through the cloud. Steam still flows from the colossal titan's body at the top of the wall, I can practically feel the heat from here. A shrill sound escapes my throat as I try to stand, but I only get about halfway before I get thrown back with a heavy shove, crashing into the trees as the armored titan glowers at me. 

I can't move, my body in shock from the suddenness of the forceful hit. I expected I would feel hurt by this, or maybe sad, but I just feel angry. How could they...how could they do this to us?

Reiner...you stupid piece of shit.

Always going on about what it means to be a soldier, to have honor. Played us all for fools. 

I always thought you were such a standup guy, calm under pressure, always focused. I would have given anything to be half as strong as you.

I hear footsteps drawing closer, echoing throughout the ground as the armored titan gets closer to me. I force myself to move, just in time to receive a hard punch right in the face. I stumble for a moment but I regain my composure, throwing hit after hit right back at him. He doesn't even flinch, the armor is too tough. A soldier is trying to slice at him with their blades...Y/n? No, it's Mikasa. I can see her more clearly now. Whilst I'm grateful for the aid, her swords don't seem to be doing much either.

I punch Reiner so hard my hand gets destroyed. He throws me back again with a hard shove of his shoulder, sending me flying. Shit. I land on my back with a hard thud and memories flash through my mind. Shiganshina, the attack, the titans. My mother.

Berthold, Reiner, I hope you fuckers are pleased with yourselves. I bet I could scour through the history of mankind, and never find someone a fraction as evil!

I slowly rise again, a high pitched scream coming from my titan body. Mikasa is gone again, her blades probably too damaged to keep up. I throw a punch towards Reiner, but he catches my fists and slams me back into the ground. My breath gets thrown from my lungs and I feel the steam collecting as I heal.

A sharp breath and screech leaves me and I writhe around a bit on the ground, trying to get this stupid body to move again. The armored titan's footsteps pick up again, fuck, he's going to kill me at this rate. No, he wanted me to come with him, he needs me alive. Though who's to say, if I put up enough of a fight he might not even hesitate to end me right here.

"Come on, Jaeger. Is that the best you got?" Y/n's voice rings in my ears as my eyelids flutter closed. She's not here with me, but I hear her clearly. A memory surfaces vividly as I will myself to stand.
