~*A week later in the cell*~

*Reader's POV*

I kneeled there in the middle of the cold room, chains around my wrists and ankles. My wrists chained above my head, my body weight making the manacled dig into my skin. The manacles around my ankles were rusty and rough chafing my skin raw. I tried to keep my head down to prevent the metal collar from cutting into my skin, it's chain connected to the floor. I looked down at the tattered blood covered clothing I wore. I smiled softly at the thought that I wouldn't give the MP's what they wanted, and my chapped lips split open. I carefully licked my lips desperately wishing for water I'd never ask for.

A shadow passed over my bars and once again came face to face with Nile Dok. "Where are the children?" he demanded. Instead of saying anything I spit in his face. When I looked into his eyes I knew that I had a very small chance of surviving this encounter, but knew if I did I'd have several more scars wither they be internal or external I didn't know. I felt the presence of several people in my cell and knew that if I wouldn't tell him what he wanted he was going to try to beat it out of me. And with the knowledge of death in my head as well as in my heart I spoke "I won't tell you anything."

I was sure that this was hell, because time didn't seem to exist here. My head was bent as blood dripped from my split lips onto the floor. My body hurt and when I shifted even the smallest amount it was like liquid lava running through my blood. I heard the cell door open and then close. I looked up and I suddenly saw Eren in the cell across from mine. His teal eyes widened as he saw the state I was in and asked if I was alright. I rolled my eyes and he winced before saying "Obviously I can see that your not, but are you ok?" I carefully nodded my mouth so parched and dry that it was hard to form complete sentences. Suddenly Nile was standing in front of my cell giving me a sadistic evil grin.

"Oh look you have an ally. I thought you incapable of making friends. What with your history and all" he said laughing as he unlocked and entered Eren's cell. He walked around him and my throat felt like dry sandpaper as I croaked "Don't hurt Eren." "Now now L/N I have no reason to harm a single hair on his head. Besides the fact that he's a monster, but then again you knew that didn't you?" Nile replied. Eren's eyes widened even more as he asked "What is he talking about?"

Immediately after Eren's question Nile gave a few MP's a nod and they walked in using the chains I wore to drag me out of my cell. "Hurry before the Scout's arrive to talk to the monster, we don't want them to see her. And get someone to clean the cell she was in" Nile ordered. I bit my lip to keep silent as my muscles screamed in pain. They unchained me and the last thing I heard before they tossed me into another room was Nile telling Eren to keep his mouth shut about me or he'd be sorry. The door was locked behind me and when I looked around I saw a tub full of steaming hot water, as well as a small table with food and water, and a pair of clothes.

I eyed everything in the room trying to see which need was going to come first. Then I finally decided that the water in the tub wouldn't stay hot forever and carefully began to strip off the tattered remains of what had once been my uniform. I stepped into the water and gently submerged my broken body. I washed my hair and then my body more than once, and felt clean and refreshed for the first time since the MP's brought me in. When the water began to cool I got out and dried off with a rough cloth. I carefully made my way towards the table and noticed that amongst the food was a needle and thread and another bowl full of clean water.

I grabbed the clothes putting on the matching bra and underwear, then the pants. Then I sat down in the chair by the table and began to clean out the wound on my side. When it was nice and pink and completely free of dirt I began to stitch the ragged wound on my side once again. Once that was done I put on the tan sleeveless top that zipped up the back and slightly resemble a corset. I ate and drank slowly trying not to rush and hurt myself. When I was done the door opened and I saw a woman. Who met my eyes then waved in Nile and his MP's.

Nile smiled as they attached manacles around my wrists, and a collar around my neck. A chain was attached to the collar I wore and like a dog on a leash was led to the court. Once I arrived I noticed Erwin, Levi, Mikasa and Armin. Both Mikasa and Armin gave me identical looks of shock and curiosity. I was chained to a pole in the middle of the room. The judge looked at me and asked "Miss L/N you've been accused of being the Ghost, do you deny the charges?" I nodded and said "I do Sir." The judge raised a brow and said "And what right do you have to deny the evidence against you?"

I met his gaze and said "The evidence is based on blueprints matching a canister found at the scene correct? While in Shadis's command I rarely locked my door except a night when I was sleeping. Any body who knew my habits could've snuck in during the day and hidden the blue prints in my room. If you require witnesses you can ask the Cadet's standing next to Commander Erwin and Captain Levi. Then there's the fact that a canister was dropped something that only an amateur would do, and then there just happened to be blueprints that matched the canister's design found in my room? In my eyes that's not just a coincidence."
