Levi's POV:

I burst into my room and rushed over to the bed. I jumped on it and immediately pulled Eren into a hug. I buried my face into the side of his neck and kissed his soft skin.

"I'm back," I whispered.

I cradled his body and stroked his hair. As I gently moved my hand across the back of his head, I could feel his tears drop onto the shoulder of my shirt.

"I'm sorry," I apologized, "I'm back now. Everything is alright now. You don't have to worry anymore."

"I was so scared!" he cried.

He grabbed onto my back and dug his fingers into  my shirt.

I felt so horrible.

I had left him without saying a word. I just got up an left him all alone. God knows what was running through his head during my absence. He was still so fragile and weak. If I ever left him alone again, something bad might happen. He might hurt himself or do something stupid.

"I can't loose you," I whispered.

I pulled away and looked into his beautiful teal-green eyes. They were so gorgeous yet so empty. Just looking at his pained expression made me feel awful. I hated to see him that way.

He didn't deserve to feel like that. It wasn't fair for him.

It was all my fault.

"I'm sorry," I said again.

He closed his eyes and let his head fall onto my chest.

"I'm just glad that you're back," he whispered.

Me too.

Eren.

Me too.

We slowly fell down onto the bed and held each other close.

I would always stay with him. Never again would I leave him alone.

Daisha's POV:

"I can't take this anymore!" I shouted.

I balled up my fists and slammed them against the table top.

"Fuck!" I screamed.

I sunk to my knees and buried my face into my hands. As I sat there, Elle rushed over to me and gave me a hug.

"Hey, hey, hey," she said in a calming voice, "It's going to be just fine. We will get out of here. I promise you that."

I shook my head and refrained myself from lashing out again. I knew it was impossible for us to escape. There was a good chance that the Survey Corpse had killed all of my friends.

We would be next.

They didn't need us. To them we were just scum, we didn't deserve to live. All we ever did was steal from innocent people. Not to mention, a while back we had killed a few of their people. I mean, it wasn't on purpose, but we still killed their own.

"Why don't they just kill us?" I asked aloud,"They have no use for us."

"They have no reason to kill us," said Elle quietly, "we didn't do anything wrong."

We did do something though. We knew about Eren and what Kieran was doing to him. We could've helped and stopped it, but we didn't. All we did was keep quiet and let Kieran do his thing.

We were at fault too.

We needed to escape before anything bad happened to us.

"How much longer till Armin comes in with the food?" I asked.

"Should be about half an hour," responded Estelle.

She stood up and held out her hand. I grabbed it and let her pull me off the floor.

"So," she said, "the plan. What do you have in mind?"

"Okay," I began, "here's what I have..."

Armin's POV:

"Hey Sasha!" I called out, "Is the food ready?"

"Ya!" she exclaimed, "It smells soooooo gooood!"

I smiled and walked over to where she was preparing the meals.

On the counter I saw two plates full of delicious food. They each had grilled chicken, baked potatoes, a roll and some cooked vegetables. Just looking at it made my mouth water.

"Thanks Sasha!" I said happily.

"Sure thing!" she said with a smile.

I pulled out a tray from the bottom cupboard and placed it on the counter top. Sasha put two glasses of water on the tray then set the plates full of food right next to them.

"It's nice of you to do this for them," she said, "I don't think anybody else would be this kind."

"They didn't do anything to Eren," I replied, "so they don't deserve to be treated like criminals."

I picked up the tray and left the room after giving Sasha a smile. Heading down the hall, I began to think about how long Daisha and Elle would have to stay here.They were innocent, and they seemed like really nice girls. Especially Daisha, I liked her.

I just hoped that they could leave soon and go back to their normal lives.

After a few minutes of walking, I arrived at their room and set the tray down. I reached into my front pocket and pulled out the key to the door. I slid it into the lock and turned it until I heard a click. I pushed the door open then placed the key back into my pocket. I bent down and picked the tray back up. Walking into the room, I saw both girls sitting down at the table.

"Hey," I said walking over to them, "I brought you guys some dinner."

I placed the tray down and set the plates and glasses next to each of them.

"Thanks Armin!" chirped Elle.

"Ya," added Daisha, "thank you."

"I hope you like it," I replied.

I smiled at both of them then turned around and headed towards the door.

Before I could even take a second step, something hit me hard across the back of my head and I collapsed to the floor.

Elle's POV:

"Did you kill him?" I asked.

"No!" shouted Daisha, "Why the hell would I kill him?"

"I don't know," I said shrugging, "no witnesses?"

"Hah!" she scoffed, "You're crazy. I'm not a killer, and besides, I sort of like him."

I smiled at her and winked. I grabbed the tray out of her hand and tossed onto the table.

"Are you sure you didn't kill him?" I asked again, "You hit him pretty hard with that thing."

"Just shut up," she shot back, "hurry and eat, then let's get out of here."

A/N:

No yaoi, sorry. I just didn't feel like it. I might write some for next week though.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

I love you all!
