!!VORE WARNING!!

Plain: Mikasa
Italics: Eren
Bold: Armin
Bold/Italics: Jean
Underline: Connie

There was a titan in front of me, looking down with a smile. But I don't care anymore. Eren is gone, and he'll never come back. I try to launch my ODM gear. Nothing, I'm out of gas. It swipes, I dodge. It reaches for me, I cut its fingers off. Why am I still trying?
"MIKASA!! Get up here!"
I see Armin looking at me from the roof.
"MIKASA!"
The titan turns and looks at Armin, forgetting me. I take my chance. I stand up and sprint away, before I hear the worst sound in the history of humanity.
The sound of the ear splitting roar of a titan. I hear it walking, slow and methodical.
"Armin?"
I call, no response.
Then I hear a scream. It's Armin.
"No don't eat me don't...."
His voice fades. Armin's gone. And the titan that ate him is coming my way. I sprint off to the left, before I see it. A 15 metre tall titan, with black hair, green eyes and pointed ears. Looking straight at me. The other titan faces it, and stops.
Damn.

Mikasa!
MIKASA! She can't hear me. The other titan..... titan....
I'LL KILL YOU!!

The titan closest to me suddenly launches at the other and swings a punch, spraying blood all over the walls of the alley. It flies back and slides hundreds of metres on the cold stone floor. What just happened?
I look up and see the obviously Abnormal titan standing over me.
It seems familiar.
It's strangely silent. It runs to the limp form of the other titan and crushes it.
Over... and over... and over. Completely silent as it pounds its own kind to dust.
A titan is killing another titan.
It stops, and stands up, the sunlight hitting its angular face.

I stare down at the remains of the monster I killed.
I finished you.
I FINISHED YOU!!
And I will finish you all to save humanity.
Mikasa?
Where is she? Did I hurt her?
Armin?
I'll let him go when I don't need my hands any more.
I have to get Mikasa.

The Abnormal turns to me. Walks up to me. I start running.
It wasn't saving me, it was just making sure it had me all to myself.

Mikasa? I'm trying to save you.
Come back.

It roars quietly, as if it's pleading. That's not possible. I pause in confusion, and it notices. In a split second it runs up to me and grabs me. I can barely breathe. Its grip is as tight as iron and its height is astonishing. It brings me to it's face and seems to study me.
Those eyes.
So familiar.
It grunts softly before throwing me into its mouth.

Mikasa, Armin.
I'm so sorry, but I have to get you to HQ, and I need my hands.
Something shoots by, but not fast enough for me to miss his face . Its Connie. His eyes are wide and his blades are ready, so I harden the skin around my neck in case.
Oh no.
A bald titan a couple of metres away grabs Connie while he's distracted. His arms are pinned to his side.
"Let me go! Someone help!" he screams, but no one else is around.
I'm his only chance.

The bald titan has me, I'm going to die. Tears run down my face and I start to sob as the titan places my head in its mouth. I feel it close, but I'm not dead, but still somewhere I don't want to be.
In a titan.

The Abnormal opens its mouth and Connie flies in screaming. I see a glimpse of the outside world, before our window shuts. "Connie?"
"Armin, Mikasa. What are you doing here?"
"We don't know. I was captured on the roof and Mikasa was captured in an alley by this same Abnormal, but it's not eating us."
"I can hear it running, where is it going?" interrupts Mikasa, and I fall silent.
