Blush (Mikannie)

Chapter 3: Skeptical

Mikasa's POV

She hadn't seen the girl give off any emotion...ever. Just that blank, un-caring stare. What was she crying about...

Mikasa's thoughts were thrown about in her mind. She tried concentrating on her book, but all she could hear were tiny whimpers.

She had to. She had to ask. Even if the girl would see her differently. As weak.

"Are you okay?" She asked dryly, kind of harsh.

Immediately the whimpers stopped. Mikasa heard rustling sheets and the girl had gotten up. Walking across the room, she quietly said, "ya, I'm fine", and left.

-Flashback Ends-

Bright lights shine as Mikasa tries to open her tired eyes. She groans a small bit, as she feels a sharp sting in her head.

"Don't try and get up." A adolescent voice demands. It's Eren.

Suddenly, she remembers everything. The Titans. Eren. The woods. The flashback. The abnormal reaching for her.

"Eren!" She jumps up and hugs him. Her body aches but her "brother" is safe in her arms. Out of harms way.

"Are you hurt? Why did you change?? You could've been killed!" She cries.

"Mikasa, I'm okay. I'm okay." He chuckles a small bit. His deep green eyes look at her with sympathy.

She lies back down, relieved. "They didn't get her..." He says under his breath after a few moments of silence.

"Her? So Armin was right?" She asked. "Yea, same thing with the Armored Titan. We think it's one too."

Mikasa remained silent. Why do I remember her grabbing for me. Is that what actually happened?

"Eren..." She started. He tentatively looked at her. "What happened after I got hit.."

She looks up at him. At his one of a kind, emerald green eyes. "Well...I was unconscious. But what I've heard was that the Female had grabbed for you as you were falling....except Levi swooped down and saved you before that could happen. Why would the Female do that?"

Mikasa just stared straight ahead at the medical equipment at the end of the bed. So it was....

-Flashback-

We had Friday afternoons off of training and no work until late afternoon Saturday so, the girls in the dorm decided to have a party.

A party to them was; Ymir would steal a few drinks from the Commanders office, Sasha would get snacks, and they would all make up scary stories or play games.

Mikasa minded her own business in her bunk and maybe drank a beer or two, listening to them have fun. Occasionally, the group would get her to laugh a little and enjoy what little free time they had, until Ymir started to read.

Half way through the story, the itchy, crawly feeling of eyes settled on Mikasa's shoulders. Glancing up, at the other side of the room, the girl makes eye contact and immediately breaks it. Why..? Is she trying to get my attention?

"So then, the girl started to eat her own friends. The witches had possessed her and made her a cannibal. The end." Ymir concluded, already on her 3rd bottle.
