The Cocky Conquer

Chapter 4

{Edited}

Valorie's POV

I hear the door closed as I chuckle quietly to myself. They're such idiots to not even realize I was here. I slowly crawl away from under the bed Mikasa was in.

I take out my sharp, yet shiny knife as I hover over the girl. Quickly, I point it at her throat as her eyes widen in shock mouth open ready to scream.

I cover her mouth with my finger waiting for a minute then take my finger off pushing it against my lips making a shushing noise smirking.

"I wouldn't scream if I were you. Your best bet is to shut up and listen to what I have to say." She glared daggers at me which I wasn't phased by.

"You're a part of the Ackerman Clan right?" She nods in response slowly which I chuckle to and continue to speak. "Good, I need you to come with me and help fight for my people. We need the strength of you in order for us to survive."

Mikasa had a furious look on her face. "I would never go with you to fight with your stupid people. You're on your own it's not my problem and never will be."

I laugh at her response and forcefully push the knife against her knife which she winces in pain. "You're in no state to disagree with me Mikasa. Either accept my request or watch the ones you love get beaten up to a pulp."

"You know, I'm smarter than I look. How could such a frail little girl like me simply just threaten you, the person who's worth a thousand soldiers, to come with me without having a small group of my soldiers to help me?" I get closer to her face as she tries to get away from it.

"They're waiting on my call to attack Mikasa. So whatever little puny stunt you try to pull off you might as well think twice about it.", I say in a cold stern yet evil voice.

Her expression changed into a worried one as I remove my knife from her neck leaving a small scratch. "Once you've made your decision, I want you to come into the woods at night time. There's a small cabin with my group of soldiers and I will be waiting for you. If you dare to tell anyone what we've discussed be prepared to have their blood on your hands my sweet girl."

I wink at her as she makes a look in disgust. I walk to the door placing my knife in its sheath. I smirk at her curving the side of my lips as she glares at me. I walk out and head to my room to pack up my things.

Making sure no one is in the room, I quickly gather all my belongings putting them in a small bag. Too interested in what I'm doing, I didn't hear the door creaking open.

"Valorie why are you packing up? Where are you headed to?" I stop in my tracks at the voice.

Shit...it's Christa.

I hurriedly come up with an alibi and turn face towards her. "Oh I'm not going anywhere, I'm just putting all my things in my bag so I could have enough room on my side of the room."

"Ah I see, well carry on then!" She closes the door and I sigh in relief. Damn that was a close one.

I finish putting my weapons in my bag leaving the room through the window with a small cocky smirk on my face.

I head to the cabin in the woods making sure the close is clear so anyone won't know I'm gone.

Mikasa better come or she'll have a hard time scrubbing blood of the floors.

Mikasa's POV

-later on in the night-

I quickly get out of the bed and head to my room sneakily. Once I make it there, I change my clothes and put on my scarf that Eren gave me. I squeeze it tightly letting a stream of tears fall out my glossy grey orbs.

I'm sorry Eren, Armin, and others. But I have to go I don't want you guys to be hurt..

I leave the room looking back once more and quietly close the door sneaking out the place. I head to the woods as Valorie told me to. Once I see a small light in the distance, I take a quick moment to pull out the small trench knives and put it in my secret pockets inside my pants on each side. I make sure that it's not easily noticeable or not able to be felt through my pants.

I take a deep breath and walk up to the door seeing horses tied up by the wooden rails close to the side of the cabin. I raise my fist attempting to knock on the wooden door but fail to reach it as someone opens it pulling me inside roughly.

I fall to the floor groaning a bit at the roughness. 7 pairs of feet laid in front of me. I look up to a bunch of men and women looking at me with cold stares. Valorie's stare stood out the most.

"I'm surprised that you accepted your fate." I growl as I get up to my feet glaring at her. "I didn't have much of a choice."

She chuckles at my response. Even the sound of her makes my insides churn. "Tie her up now." The soldiers that were beside her did what they were told. One of them pushed my knees down making me kneel as they tie my hands up tightly in front of my stomach with some type of special rope.

"Is it really that necessary to tie me up and I can't do anything?", I say in sarcasm. "I don't know what you're thinking. You might have a scheme to try and kill me. So I rather to be safe than sorry."

I clicked my tongue in annoyance. A soldier pull me to my feet as we head outside towards the horses. They put me on one with another soldier.

"You won't hurt them right Valorie? I did what you told me to do and didn't tell anyone what we'd discussed."

The next thing I heard was a shrieking cackle that made me flinch.

"Oh my Mikasa. I never said that I wouldn't hurt them if you came with me. How foolish you think I'll take you while they're in a good shape to come and try to rescue you once they find out you and I are gone."

My eyes widen in fear and I breathe heavily. "I want 4 soldiers to head back to the camp and burn them all! Kill whoever you want or take them as a prisoner!"

4 soldiers start to ride off towards the camp as I yell in anger. "NO!! DONT YOU DARE TOUCH THEM!"

I felt something hard hit the back of my head as I black out. The only thing I could hear and feel were the horses moving as their hooves thump against the ground before I finally knock out.
