Attack on Titan: The New Generation

Chapter 32 Final Good Byes

"Hey, you ok?" Jen asked. I turned to face her and nodded my head.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, now looking at my feet. As the wagons were being pulled south, I noticed that there weren't any civilians around, that the whole city was completely quite.
"What happened to everyone here? It's like a ghost town." I asked, while looking around.
"We made it mandatory that everyone be inside until we get into the next wall." Said Julia.
"Are we going to just stay in this wagon for a few days?" Asked Jen, in a very mopey way.
"Maybe, most likely five days. And that only if we don't stop at all." Sighed Julia.

I lowered my head and began to complain in my head.
"If we're going to travel for five days without stopping, how are we going to get food?" I asked.
"We'll stop once a day for 15 minutes, to get food. Put it on the wagon, and go again." Sighed Julia.
"That's going to happen, then wake me up when we stop for food." Said Jen as she laid down in the bench.
"I guess it's ok to take a nap." Said Julia. So, Jen and I did.

It's been five days sense Mariana and I fought in our Titan form, and Mariana being captured. We have gotten to the underground bunker in Shiganshina, and have safely tied Mariana up. Every hour, the two cadets that watch over Mariana's back, always cut off whatever grew back from her arms and legs. Julia has ordered that we keep it like that to prevent transforming unit a Titan. And like always, I see tears falling out of Mariana's blind fold. Bobby and his team are supposed to be at the bunker in another week.

I walk across from Mariana, and look at her. She's leaning against the wall, still with a blind fold, but nothing covering her mouth. She's able to talk, but never opened her mouth.
"Hey, there."

I look over two Mariana with my eyes, and see her smiling.
"Shut up." I commanded.
"That's not very nice to talk to your friend like that." Mariana complained.
"You not my friend, and you will never be." I snapped back. Jen, Julia and the two cadets instantly whipped their heads toward me and Mariana.
"Hey, captain!" Mariana began. "You should get a recorder, your going to want to know everything I'm about to say." She laughed. Julia scowled at Mariana, then went to get a recorder. When she came back, she pressed a button, and a green light stated to blink.
"Ok." She said looking back towards Mariana.

"I'll tell you everything you want to know." Said Mariana.
"Why?" I asked
"I have nothing else to loose." Mariana said, tilting her head down.
"Fine, when did you become a spy?" Asked Jen.
"Right after I met Lilly. They given me the Titan injection and told me that Lilly Stark is an enemy not to be trusted."
"Then why did you act like the nicest person in the world?" I asked.
"I was told to be your friend. I had to act the way I did. After the Titan attack on Nishi, I was ordered to drastically change my personality, but also make it seem like I was still your friend. That's why I protected you more then act nice."
"Who reinvented the Titan injection?" Asked Julia.
"Will and Krista Stark, in other words, Lilly's parents. They wanted to continue the work of Eren Jeager's father. They then selected three kids, to be given the injection. Those kids are, me, Tom, and Lilly."
"Who's Tom?" Asked Julia. I turned over to her and said that he was one of the cadets we knew from our class.

I turned back to Mariana, and scowled at her.
"I'm surprised you never began to think of the terrible things that happened to you as a cadet, knowing how smart you are." Chuckled Mariana.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"What do you think I mean? Do you think that all those things happened to you were just coincidences? The fake death of your parents, the malfunction with your test, Michelle's death, the avalanche, Jen loosing her memory of you, and my favorite" chuckled Mariana. She began to make a sinister grin, then said "Shaun's death."

My eyes widened, and I could barely breathe.
"Tom and I thought of things that we thought would make you crack, and fall down. Time thought If physical damage would hurt you the most. But after that has failed, we began hurting you mentally. Killing off friends, having your closest friends forget everything about you. Made you feel guilty for deaths, and that you have to pay back debts." Laughed Mariana.
