Noise

Chapter 8

Noise

Mikasa's POV

I can't trust her. (y/n). She had basically fooled us all.

Yesterday, I saw the true power behind her strikes. She was as strong as me, if not stronger. Why did she hide that? If she didn't, she would be the first place out of all the trainees. 

Yesterday, I saw the way she flew. Gracefully cutting through the air and the wind. Freer than I had ever seen her. I saw her zipping past the trees, her senses alert (OR ARLERT YES I HAVE BROUGHT THIS BACK). And I saw her eyes—more like eye—harder yet more joyous than ever before.

Yesterday night, I saw her speaking to the highest ranked Survey Corps. And she shouted at them. I couldn't go closer for the fear that they would somehow spot me—they were the strongest and probably the most alert humans in these walls, after all—but I still heard their tone of voice.

And I heard her snap at the three. And them not reacting.

She had a past bond with them, I'm sure. Would it help her get into the top 10? Would she be in the Survey Corps when we graduated from this trainee school?

I didn't know. But I would find out.

Reader's POV

The Survey Corps had traveled back, as they had finished "observing" us. Mikasa had avoided me a lot today during training and everything else. And even if I didn't have a power to read someone's mind, I would have noticed.

My headache was completely gone now. The pounding in my head was nowhere, as if it was never there in the first place. But the words were still there, still loud. And they were bothering me. All throughout the day, I was spaced out. Enough not to stop Sasha from stealing almost half of my food. I think she had taken everything, and then felt bad... or nah.

Who knows what that girl is thinking? I mean, well, I do, but you know what I mean.

It was like... I couldn't control it. It was like it was getting out of hand. None of the little tips my mom had written down had helped. It was too distracting.

I needed to get rid of this thing. If this continued, I wouldn't be able to get into the Survey Corps. I would put others in danger, instead of saving them. It wouldn't be right. I wanted to save people, not kill them. And if this continued, I would kill people—maybe not intentionally, but it would be killing nonetheless.

Sighing, I tried to block out some of the noise in my head, to no avail. Of course. Nothing in my life was ever easy, after all.

"(y/n)!!" Sasha yelled from beside me, but I paid no attention to the girl. "(y/n)???"

"What?" I snapped. Whoops, didn't mean to. But either she didn't care or she, well, didn't care.

"Can we go out for a walk? Pleaseee?" She dragged out the e, and I sighed and nodded.

"Fine."

Sasha's POV

(y/n) seemed a little... distracted today. She wasn't focused on lectures (I actually understood that, sometimes they could be really boring). She just didn't seem like herself.

"(y/n)!!" I yelled into her ear, but she paid no attention. . "(y/n)???"

"What?" she snapped. See, she was a bit off.

"Can we go out for a walk? Pleaseee?" I begged, and she sighed. But she nodded, and I cheered.

"Fine."

Reader's POV

I lay completely awake on the hard mattress. The voices. They wouldn't let me sleep. Even during an unconscious state, humans continue to think. It made me wonder how I could pick out one voice from this racket. And how I could still hear people talking.

I sighed and stood up, walking to the bathroom. Nobody was in there. Gazing into the mirror, I ripped the eyepatch away from my face, revealing the plum colored eye again. And then I put the eyepatch back on my eye. And took it away.

Amazingly, my vision wasn't limited because of the leather item. It was like a one-way see through material—I wonder how I didn't realize this earlier. It would be pretty obvious if it wasn't see-through, after all.

My head started aching again, and I tried blocking out the noise in my head, tried to avoid them as much as possible. The headache wasn't getting any better, though, but somehow worse. Of course it's like me to make things worse.

I sighed and fit the eyepatch over my eye again, slowly making my way back to my bed after making sure it was secure over my face. This couldn't go on like this. I would eventually fall behind because of the lack of sleep and concentration. I couldn't let that happen.

I would find a way, somehow, to solve this. No matter what it takes.
