The Plague

Chapter 2: the beginning of the untold legend

    My breath is heavy and raspy as I run from an unseen enemy as a screech echoes down the narrow alleyway. I stumble again as the claws cuts through the empty air behind me.

I couldn't run any more so I quickly turn the corner and duck into the closest, empty, house. the creature whisks by the non-existing door, that is in splinters on the floor, letting out a blood curdling screech.

Relieved that it didn't see me I collapsed to the ground and wonder what happened and what went wrong, were we just not meant to be free. Were not meant to see the outside of the walls.

I remember a few hours before when we defeated the titan threat. We were free to explore the outside world as we pleased. it was just me, and Eren as we were prepared to go outside the walls

"I can't believe we it's finally over." Eren said shaking as he packed his bag. I to was to very excited and scared

"Yes it's very exciting." I said looking at him with a grin.

*Slam*

The door burst open and standing in the doorway was mikasa. we froze when she berst in. She had her pack ready and she has the fierce look on her face but she looked a little betrayed.

I slowly turned to Eren and said. "Eren were you going to leave without mikasa?"

"I just didn't want her getting hurt that's all." he replied nervously

"So you lied about her wanting to come. How could I be so stupid! I should have know from the start"

"It's not your fault armin." Mikasa said coldly as she walked into the house closing the door behind her. Then she looked at Eren and end the convocation in a few cold words. "And Eren I can take care of myself, it's you, you should be worried about." Eren was about to shoot back but he thought better of it, which I think was wise.Me and Eren continued packing in silence with mikasa as the quiet guard making sure we don't leave without her.

That was nine hours ago and as I reflected on the floor trying to be as quiet as possible. I didn't want to fall asleep but as the sun was setting over the wall and out of exhaustion I drifted to sleep.

I remember Eren Mikasa and I were going through the destroyed remains of are old neighborhood. I don't know what they were arguing about but I was glad that they were back to normal.

As we walked closer to the gate I saw menacing silhouette at the gate I tried to tell them but the argument turned into a flirt fest and they were a giggly mess, there was no reasoning with them.

As we neared the gate Eren finally notest the shadow " ha-ha-hay Jean. come to see us of." he said between laughs. there was no reply. There is a familiar smell that made me want to run but I could not remember where it was from. I looked over and Eren and Mikasa caught it to.

"Jean?" Eren repeats. There's a sickening ripping sound that replays for it then glowing eyes open followed by a screech that makes me stumble back.

Jean lepted and pind Eren to the ground then the right side of his ripped open one side of a flower, each petal of skin lined with razor sharp teeth. his hands when hands they were claws like the claws you see on crabes his legs were bent in a ode fashion like the hind leg of a dog. Eren screamed out as Jean bit him on the neck.

Mikasa was about to beat Jean to a pulp when two more fell from the sky. Sasha and connie had changed as well, Sasha arms had become pair of feathered wings and her legs bent like Jean's. Connie's feet had turned into talons his hands resembled the front limbs of a praying mantis he had gand a tail tipped with a blade and he had a pair of insect wings. All their mouths were filled with serrated edged teeth and snake like tongues

he pounced on mikasa but she countered him instantly. I was frozen to the spot entel mikasa yelled for me to run. When I snapped out of it sasha came at me but I jumped out of the whey. I ran as fast as I could, stumbling over rocks, ants, even my own shadow, never looking back the screaming monstrosity still in close pursuit.
