AOT: Forget and Forgive

Waking Up

Mystie's POV

I woke with a start in a weird place, it looked like an old-fashioned house, and one made of wood with old stuff.

What happened? Where was I?

All of a sudden, it came back to me, everything, what's his name.... Armin explained. How he was part of a hidden world. I also remember someone hitting me in the back of the head. Leena!

At that time someone walked into the room, it was Armin.

"Hey," He said, nervous. "How are you?"

"How am I? You explain something completely crazy, and then nock me out! What did you do to me? Where am I?"

"Right, sorry, my boss got mad at me, and he takes stuff seriously and a little violent, I'm sorry on his account. And, as to where we are, it's an old house we found, a pit stop till you wake up; you need to be awake to walk into our safe place."

"What about Leena? Where is she?" I said, because I had no idea what to say to what he just told me.

"She's next door, don't worry, she's fine, she woke up yesterday, she's been waiting for you." He said and before either of us could say anything else, I was out the door and heading to the only of door in the hallway.

"Leena!" I yelled as I walked in.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Physically, yes, mentally, not so sure." I said sitting in a chair, the same chair that was next to my bed in my room. "Did they explain anything to you?"

"No, you?"

"No, I woke up not 3 minutes ago."

"Wow," Was all she could say.

"Ladies, now that you're both awake, change, get your things and meet us in the living room in 5 minutes." A guy said from the doorway, it wasn't Armin, it was a different guy, this guy was taller, had black hair that framed most of his face and stood as if he was the leader, which I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

"That was Levi, our leader, the one that knocked you out." Armin said after, Levi, left.

"Wow, I couldn't tell, I thought he was the runt of the team!" I said sarcastically.

"Sarcasm, well, bye, I'll see you in a bit." He said and left.

"Well, I'm gonna go change and pack, meet you in the hallway?"

"Yeah, bye." She said and I left. I ended up changing into jeans, a plain purple t-shirt, and my tennis shoes from, however long ago. I ended up packing my book, a jacket and a couple of my clothes they had around the house. I also packed my brush, deodorant, and perfume, and I didn't want to know how they got my stuff.

I walked into the hall to see Leena already there, I hadn't noticed it before, but she hadn't had her hijab on, now she did, and it was different one from the other day.

"Where did you get that?" I asked, knowing the answer, they had some of her stuff.

"They had some of my clothes." She said as I followed her to the living room.

"Same, plus other items, honestly, I don't want to know how they got it."

"Same," She said as we reached the stairs. We walked down into the living room to see Armin and Levi waiting for us, but also another boy, about Armin's age, and a girl.

"Let's go," Levi said sternly and started walking out, the other boy and girl following him, Armin, however, walked with us.

"Who are they?" I asked, curious.

"Oh, the boy's Eren, and the girl, that's Mikasa, I wouldn't mess with either of them. Mikasa, she's protective of Eren, they were raised together, as brother and sister, not blood related though. Eren, he's not too good at fighting, not as good as Mikasa, but he's still good and he will go at you if you make him really angry."

"Hmm, so, tell us about you." I said and as we got into a car.

"Usually we take horses, but, we figured you guys would be better, and more comfortable, with a car." Armin said, getting in after us. We were in a mini-van. Levi and some other dude were in the front seats, Mikasa and Eren were in the two middle seats and me, Leena, and Armin in the back.

"Anyway, me, well lets see, I'm the runt of my team, and I was never good at fighting and was never fast. To be honest, the only reason I agreed to join was because Eren wanted to and Mikasa went to protect Eren, and I wanted to protect them both, even though I'm not very good at it."

"Oh, stop being like that, Armin, you are important, you're the brain of the team, we need you." Eren said.

"Really?" I asked, "Me and Leena are both nerds."

"Yes, really."

"Wow, cool."

It ended up being an hour or so drive. When we arrived, it was nothing like I thought it would be. The building was incredible, the life was insane and what we have to do is even more insane, and maybe even dangerous and impossible...
