Chapter 20 : Nightmares

Your POV

~~Dream~~

  " Your weak!"

  "Your a monster!"

  "No one will ever love you!"

  Harsh voices are all around me. Yelling insults left and right. I'm tied up to a metal pole. My hands wrapped tightly up with rough rope. My wrist bare rope burn from attempts for freedom. What is this place? Why am I here? Who are those voices?

  "(Y/n)!" Who is that?

  "(Y/n)! Hold on I'm coming!" Is it my savior? Suddenly a hand reaches out holding a necklace similar to mine, except the stone is black. Then suddenly my body is engulfed in Dark swirls. I go to scream, but nothing escapes my mouth. 

~~Dream End~~

  "Ahh!" I sit up straight in my bed in a sweat. Luna is asleep on the pillow next to where my head was. 

  "These cursed nightmares. I've been having them recently. The same one over and over. Constant ever night. 

  D*mnit! Everything is so stressful right now! I've got Wyvern training to teach and do myself, I've got to train, I have chores to do, my secret to keep secret, and stupid riddles to figure out! I've also got to figure out who saw me at the lake. The only people who know about that lake is Levi and me, but I'm not limiting the possibility to someone stumbling upon it and seeing me. But right now, I feel like it must have been Levi. But if it was Levi, wouldn't he want to confront me about it? Or tell Erwin about me? 

  Ugh....all these stupid questions. It's been almost 2 months since the ambush and my secret being revealed. When I told Papa Snow about it, he was furious at first, but was thankful that I wasn't ambushed during my vulnerability. I should have had more control over my emotions. 

  My first expedition is within a week and I'm a nervous wreck. The survival rate for most scouts are 30% and that's for the experienced ones. It's strange. How is it that we haven't won the war against the Titans yet? I mean..we've got some really powerful magicals that could take out 5 at once. Maybe someone is making them? Keeps sending them from outside the world...making us, all of humanity, take refuge inside these walls. Now that I think about it.....Eren said something about his father's cellar in his old town. I was actually informed by Erwin that they were planning on investigating it. But first we have to seal that hole in the whole within that district. Now that we have Eren, and he's been practicing, he can actually control when he turns. He's just got to think of his goal and his motivation and then, BOOM! He's a titan.

  I just hope the job goes well. Planning on sealing the hole today, but its only 3:00 a.m. currently. And I'm alone with my thoughts.

  Which isn't always a good thing.

  "Hurry! Go help Mikasa with Eren! And make sure he doesn't do anything stupid!" Levi orders me. I take off towards Mikasa, seeing Eren in his titan form. But he wasn't responding to my orders..

  "Eren! Pick up the boulder and let's get this job done, before any more casualties occur!" He turns to us, but something was different...he wasn't....himself. Suddenly he lunges at the rooftop me and Mikasa were on. We were quick enough although to dodge. I mount onto his nape, only to have him drag me off and fling me against a rooftop, knocking all the air out of me. Through blurry images, I saw Mikasa do the same thing only he didn't throw her off. I looked at his eyes, to see that he regain his consciousness somehow...what did Mikasa do? He picked up the boulder and made his way to the hole. I was back on my feet, somewhat still out of breathe, as me and Mikasa protected Eren from other Titans. Armin joined in along the way. 

  I've finished slicing the nape of a abnormal, when I've been grabbed. I can't break loose. I've cut at the giant fingers, but they only regenerate faster. I can feel the hot breathe of the titan on my face, the horrendous stench of the dead filling my field of smell. But I didn't give up hope. I made a promise...I have to find the leverage I need. I cut the fingers again only this time, when it started to regain its fingers, I cut off it's wrist letting me fall from it's grasp. I launch myself up to it's nape and kill it with a deep blow that went to the bone. I zipped over to the rest of them, only to see Eren back to normal and Mikasa cradling him while Armin was scanning his surroundings. I rush up to him and take a look at Eren. He's got a deep cut somehow on his arm.

  "How'd this happen?" 

  "Titan scratched him before he turned back to normal. Must have affected his original body in some way." Amin explained. I take and rip off a piece of my shirt and tie it around tightly around the wound. 

  "Armin, signal the others. Send a red flare for medical attention and a green for mission accomplished." Amin starts to load the signal flare when I sense something. I look behind me, to see a titan approaching us. 

  "Mikasa, Armin. Get Eren to the top of this wall, you should be safe there, Amrin signal the others when you reach the top I'll take care of this. Go now!" They carefully take Eren and themselves, without question, up to the top as I zip to the Titan. I take it out easily as I see the flares being signaled. 

  Good. The titans are lessening by the minute. Steam is seen all across the village when I start to hear footsteps again. But before I could turn around, I'm smacked up against a wall...hard. My body lip without movement, my vision blurry, and my consciousness weakening. 

  "(Y/n)!" I barely hear, but before I could capture who was yelling for me, I loose all consciousness.
