Wherever I Go

Chapter Twenty-Seven

(That image is perfect XD)

Mikasa's POV

"Ugh..."

With a throbbing headache, I slowly sat up in my bed. The sun was shining brightly through my window and it was hurting my eyes.

Forgetting about everything else at the moment, I got up from my bed and made my way into the bathroom to find some medicine for my headache. After getting a glass of water and swallowing the pill, I decided to lay on the couch to rest for a short while.

I sat up and looked at the clock, which read that it was 12 in the afternoon. I knew Levi was probably at work. Looking down, I realized that I was wearing what I wore yesterday. My memory was sort of a blur at the moment. While I was collecting my thoughts, I got up and refilled my glass with water.

I remember going to the party yesterday, and me and Eren went to get soda for everyone. What happened after that? I wondered. Speaking of which, I don't remember going to bed last night... how did I get back home?

"I need to take a shower real quick..." I noted, feeling gross in my clothes. I headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

When I got out, I put on some clean clothes and started drying my hair. Grabbing my hair brush from my dresser, I went to the bathroom and began brushing my damp hair out.

Looking in the mirror, I noticed something different. "What the hell...?"

There was a yellowish colored bruise on the very top of my forehead. Like an instinct, I pressed down slightly and felt the pain it left. Then last nights events flashed through my mind. My heart sank in my chest.

"Eren..."

I dropped my brush and ran to the living room, quickly slipping on my shoes and then I grabbed my key and left my apartment. Instead of going to Eren's apartment, where I knew his dad probably was, I decided to go to Armin's place.

"Hey Mikasa!" Sasha greeted me in the hallway as she came out out her apartment door. I quickly pushed by her, "Hi." I replied, heading for the stairs.

I continued to jog towards Armin's apartment, which was on the floor below. When I got to the door, I started knocking on it. He answered a few seconds after I knocked.

"Oh, hi Mikasa." he greeted with a smile, but his smile disappeared when he saw my worried expression. "What's wrong?"

"Eren was kidnapped last night." I answered, trying to catch my breath, which didn't take long. His eyes widened slowly, then he moved to the side so I could come through his door. I came in and he closed the door behind me.

"How?" he asked, "Is that why you and him never came back to the party?"

I nodded. "It was Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie who did it."

He paused for a moment, "Really?"

I nodded. I watched as he walked over towards a chair where his clothes was laying, then he pulled something out of his pocket. "I knew this was suspicious..."

He walked back over to me, then showed me a small device. He extended the antena, then pressed the button to turn it on. "Yesterday this fell out of Annie's pocket, and I wanted to give it back to her, but she left the party and I couldn't find or contact her after that."
