I didn't even notice how late I left this chapter! Sorry that it's so short :)

Day after day, Brad came and dragged me off to be tortured. But after a week, something changed...

I just didn’t care anymore.

It has been a fortnight since Levi left to get his squad. Erwin was the only sane person left. Everyone else had given up hope, there was no way of getting out of here, no way other than death.

Mikasa and Armin stick to my side like glue, mothering me every second of every day. Sasha, Connie, Jean and the rest of the 104th, sit together and talk quietly most of the time. That’s really all we can do. Talk and wait. Wait for Levi to come and rescue all of us.
But on the 15th day of ‘no Levi’, there is a raucous outside.

Everyone races toward the single window and struggles to see what is happening. I don’t move from where I’m sitting. If it is Levi, he’s not coming back to save me, but to save everybody else.

When they are all focused on trying to see outside the window, I feel an arm wrap around me and pull me through the open door.

“You’re coming with me,” Brad hisses. I don’t fight back. Why should I? It would just end up with more bruises and cuts and pain, for me.

“Eren!” Mikasa tries to run to my rescue, but is held back by Armin. A polished knife comes into view and is held against my neck.

“Don’t come any closer or your friend suffers the consequences,” Brad threatens.

And then Mikasa, Armin and the Survey Corps are gone as the metal door separates us.
