Peaceful. There's nothing perfect to describe the place you were looking at. Stohess District. A place where most rich people live and where the Military Police base is.
Little kids on the street below play around. Having the time of their lives. A slice of life that you wished you had more time experiencing. Their parents laugh, enjoying the warm, peaceful sunny day. You watched with a bit of jealously inside.
Squad Leader: Y/n. Still with us?
You turned to the Squad Captain whom you were assigned to during the mission.
Y/n: Yeah. I'm still here.
He puts a hand on your shoulder.
Squad Leader: Can't have you zoning out on us. Especially now, given the mission we're on.
Y/n: Sorry, sir, won't happen again.
Squad Leader: See that it doesn't soilder. Stay sharp.
You nodded.
???: This all could have been avoided if you weren't such a coward.
You let out an angered growl. The voice you recently been hearing had returned to torment you once again.
???: I don't get it. You have the power. Why not use it? You could have saved them. Petra. Eld. Gunther. Oluo. Their deaths on your hands cause you were too weak to do what needed to be done! How many more most die to ensure your secret is kept?
You looked down at your hand, invisioning blood on it.
Y/n:(Quietly) Shut up.
???: You're too scared to end up like Eren. There's a difference between the two of you, he's not a coward like you. Maybe that's why she pays so much attention on him and not you. You even messed it up.
Y/n:(Quietly) I said shut up.
???: It's sad really. The girl you love only cares about him. Eren this, Eren that. And now, you're going up against the one person who was willing to hear your problems. She taught you how to fight, and this is how you repay her?
Y/n:(Angered) Why can't you leave me alone!
???: Like it or not, I'm a part of you. The monster you keep buried down within. He's angry! And he wants out!
Y/n: I SAID, SHUT UP.....!
A loud ringing sound shot out across the area. Your Squad Captain immediately jumped down and headed over to where the sound originated from.
You took action and followed him as well, using your ODM gear to safety descend on the street level. You ran with the Captain. Other scouts that were posted nearby joined up with your squad.And what you saw, was a sight you'd never forget.
Annie Leonhart. Your friend. Teacher. Was being retrained by Scouts who disguised themselves in civilian attire. They wrap a cloth around her mouth to prevent her from transforming.
Watching her struggle made you second guess the plan you were following, making you stop running with your Captain. Annie, who was still fighting against the Scouts, noticed you. Standing away from her with a look of uncertainty.
She swiped her thumb down on the ring on her right hand. Revealing a secret compartment that housed a small spike.
Y/n: No....
Knowing what she'll do next, you instantly turned and ran.
???: Running away. As usual.
