The day has finally come and before I even left I went over to (p/n) and went to Mrs. Jeager's home. As I went up the door I stood and knocked on the door. She opened it and then smiled.
Mrs. Jeager: "it's nice if you to see me before you leave.."
Me: "you're not gonna watch us leave"
Mrs. Jeager: "I can't bare to watch.."
Me: "don't worry, they'll all come back alive as long as I'm around"
Mrs. Jeager: "please make sure they stay alive"
Me: "yeah. So I was wondering if you can take care of (p/n) for me while I'm out"
Mrs. Jeager looked at the bunny just noticing.
Mrs. Jeager: "oh yeah.. I can"
Me: "Thank you. Just give him vegetables when you feed him. He'll fall asleep right after."
I handed her (p/n) with the shirt I had covered around him.
Me: "he likes sleeping on that shirt just put him somewhere where he can be comfortable"
Mrs. Jeager: "No problem"
As I backed up I looked at her and smiled. She looked a bit shocked, but went with it anyway.
Me: "Take care Mrs. Jeager"
Mrs. Jeager: "you too"
I left keeping her smile and back. Everyone was already at the front gates. I had to walk all the way towards the gate and get to my horse. Everyone's horse looked similar so I knew which one was mine.
Erwin: "you're ready?"
Me: "yeah"
As the gates slowly opened I looked over at Eren who was next to me. I still questioned why him here out of all the 104th cadet corps. What makes him so special? As I was staring at him, Eren was looking over at two kids through a home window. I stared at them too. Their smiles were bright as they knew we could do it. Eren smiled at them and I looked forward soon as Eren did too.
The gates were opened and Erwin started yelling as the mission had begun. We started going through the gate and I looked up at the sky as it looked so different than it was inside. It has been long since I've seen the sky like this. It gave me a different presence.
My (h/c) hair flowed back. We were almost close to getting to our formations or groups or whatever. We had to be with Levi separated with Erwin and Hanji. We got to the point and we soon started to separate. We road our horses towards the forests as others went around. We had the stealthy part, but most of everyone else was just, out there.
As we were close to entering the forest we have achieved some red and black smoke flares. Only a bit of green has showed.
Me: "shouldn't I?"
Levi: "no."
A straight up no from Levi has left his mouth and it was cold too. I couldn't believe that others thought I was gonna save them. I thought so too. Was that just to boost up their confidence in joining and that they won't die as I'm around? Was it all I and they just needed more soldiers?
Erwin's words and promises run through my mind. I looked down as I started to feel guilt. Though I barely feel that. All I could do was sit out and go along with the mission. At some parts I was confused of what we were actually going for, what was our main goal? Again thoughts were launched. Hanji's words were said, "you'll see"
We finally entered the forest and soldiers were already up at some trees. I looked at the tall trees and it seemed that the previous soldiers were ready to give there own lives for something. They were preparing. I looked at Levi and he didn't seem to be bothered at all, and so as the others. It seemed that they knew exactly what was going to happen and as for Eren, he seemed clueless about the whole thing. He thinks this is just another "normal" mission outside these walls.
