Wherever I Go

Chapter Twelve

Mikasa's POV

After me and Eren had done some of the games and rides, we decided to go ride the Ferris Wheel before it was time to leave. The sky was growing dark and the lights on the rides and booths were beginning to shine. Me and him waited in line, ready to get on.

While the line moved forward, I noticed two familiar people standing in front of us. I elbowed Eren, trying to get his attention. "Hey!" he yelped, then looked at me.

"Sorry." I quickly apologized. I didn't mean for it to hurt.

"Huh?" Annie turned around from in front of us, "Mikasa?"

"Oh, hi." I greeted her, and looked up at Bertholdt who was standing next to her, giving a small smile.

"Oh hey guys." Eren also greeted the two.

"Next in line, please." the staff man informed us, motioning for us to move forward. "All four of you in a cart?"

"Want to?" Eren asked the other two.

"Sure, why not." Bertholdt answered, looking at Annie, who just shrugged her shoulders, not seeming to mind. Then, he allowed all four of us to step in the cart, me and Eren on one side and Bertholdt and Annie on the other. Then he closed the door, moving our cart forward so he could seat the other people.

"Wow, it's very clear out tonight." I commented, gazing at the stars that could be seen clearly above us.

"Yeah." Eren agreed, looking up as well. Bertholdt did as well, followed by Annie.

"So, you're Mikasa's bodyguard?" Annie asked Eren, "Because you have a healing factor, and she's wanted by human traffickers?"

"Yeah." Eren replied, "Why?"

"Just wondering." Annie answered, then glanced downwards, "I remember you talking about it at breakfast today."

Eren just gave a nod. Then, the carts began moving again, this time it didn't stop, so there must be enough people on. The carts continued to move until ours met close to the top, then came to a slow stop.

"Those people look so small from up here..." Bertholdt pointed out quietly, looking over the side, watching the people walk around.

"Hey... fireworks." Annie said, glancing below. She was right, people below us on a hill were setting up fireworks, about to launch them.

"Oh yeah, I heard it was the last day of the fair so they're setting off fireworks." Eren said. We watched as the fireworks were launched, then shot into the night sky, exploding into colors.

"Pretty..." I quietly commented and watched the colors burst, then fall to the ground.

After that, we all met up and left the fair, then went back home. When we got to the lobby, Eren was looking around, while the others were going up to their apartments.

"Hey, Armin!" Eren called, catching up to the blonde who had just walked through the door. I just followed behind him.

"Oh, Hey Eren." Armin greeted.
