(Wow, that picture doesn't fit the theme of this chapter at all.)

Just like the last chapter, there will be blood and gore in this chapter. I kind of feel guilty for killing so many characters.

(Jk, this Author-Chan is evil ;)

(Reiner's POV)

"Reiner?"

The terrified female voice made me stop dead in my tracks. I knew that voice. Of course I did. We had been in the training corps for almost three years now.

I recognized her without even needing to turn around.

Sasha Blouse.

"Reiner?" She repeated, her voice trembling. "What...what are you doing? Why is...who is...." she trailed off. "Did you...k-kill them?"

Everything went silent. I couldn't help but smirk.

Already, a plan was forming in my mind. I hadn't intended to kill her today, but I was almost like she was begging for it now. And besides, if I let her go free, she'd tell everyone, including (Y/n), and then she'd be scared of me. I'd lose my perfect angel.

No...I can't let her leave. Sasha must die.

"Did I kill Mikasa?" I asked, running my fingers over the hilt of my blade. "Did I stab her to death? Did I tear into her with my blades, slicing and stabbing, until her stomach was nothing but a bloody pulp, and her face was almost unidentifiable? I don't know, Sasha. Why don't we find out whether or not I'm a killer?" I pulled out my blade, just one this time.

She took a step back, her brown eyes huge. "W-Wait, Reiner, please. We...we can talk this out, right? What's even the point in killing me? I didn't do anything to you, right?"

"You're (Y/n)'s friend. You're taking her attention away from me. That's enough of a reason for me."

"Stop!" She cried, throwing her hands up, as if that would somehow stop my advances. "Please Reiner, be reasonable! Killing me isn't going to make (Y/n) you! That's crazy," she stood a step back, then another, until she was back against a tree. "Reiner, this is insane! Aren't we friend? C'mon...I promise I won't tell anyone! Please, stop!" She cried, tears streaming down her face.

I held up my blade, ignoring her pleas. "So long, Sasha Blouse. It was a pleasure being your friend, but now I have my precious (Y/n), and she is more important than you. She's more important than anyone. She is the only person I'll ever need."

With a swift stab in the gut, I caused a string of screams and sobs to spill from her lips. I pulled out all of her blades, and looked once at her pain-filled eyes.

"Rest in peace," I growled, and with her six remaining blades, I used them to pin both of her legs and arms to the tree behind her. The last two I used to impale her vital organs, guaranteeing her death. One was stuck in her chest, straight through her heart, and the other went through her forehead, piercing her brain. She hung limping, the blades the only things keep her upright. She looked like she belonged in one of those morbid butterfly collections, pinned to the wall.

I smiled at my handiwork.

It was beautiful. Not as beautiful as (Y/n), of course.

What's she doing right now, anyway? I need to see her. No, I need to clean the blood off my hands first. I can't have them figuring out it was me. Then I'd be separated from (Y/n) forever! That can't happen. She belongs by my side, no where else.

I clicked the trigger on my gear, propelling me forward, away from the two female corpses. Someone would find them eventually. Right now, I had to wash up.

Then, I'd find (Y/n).

(Your POV)

"Seriously, where is Mikasa?" I asked out loud to no one in particular. I was in my bed, alone my dorm. Everything was silent. My only roommate was missing. The other girls that used to be here all dropped out, so now it was just me. What had happened to Mikasa? She wasn't at dinner, and I never saw her after training. I knew there was no way she had dropped out. She was at the top of the class.

Had she been hurt? Was she hanging out with Eren, and hadn't realized how late it was? I knew I was worrying over nothing. Mikasa could handle anything.

There was no way anything bad had happened to her.

I was still uneasy.

The next morning, I found Reiner, who was talking with Bertholdt and Annie. "Hey, Reiner? Can I talk to you, please?"

Annie looked at me, her eyes cold, like usual, but I thought I could see a flickered of amusement under her icy blue gaze. Bertholdt's lips twitched in a grin. I went red when I realized that Reiner must've told them about our kiss.

"Sure thing," he said, standing up.

"Don't be too loud, alright?" Annie said in her monotone voice.

My blushed darkened. "I didn't...we're not...!"

"Knock it off, Annie," Reiner scowled, and grabbed me by my hand. He dragged me away, and I could've sworn I saw Annie wink at me as we walked away.

Once we were far enough away, he turned me around. "What is it, (Y/n)? Is everything okay?" Concern laced his tone.

"I don't know," I admitted. You see...Mikasa is gone. I haven't seen her since training. And now I can't find Sasha. Connie is in a panic. Why are people disappearing? Do you think they dropped out or something? It doesn't make sense...they're both in the top ten."

He pulled me into a comforting hug. "I don't know, (Y/n). I'm sure they're fine, though. Don't worry about them so much. You have me, don't you?"

His hug was so warm, I couldn't help but hug him back. I could feel his muscles through his shirt, and when I pressed my ear against his chest, I could hear his heartbeat. I smiled to myself, letting out a content sigh.

How did he managed to calm me do so quickly? His embrace was so comforting. I wanted to stay in his arms forever.

"(Y/n), do you want to start our date now? We can sneak out into the forest and hang out. No one will bother us."

I smiled up at him. "Sure."

Don't go into the forest! Sorry, I shouldn't be yelling at her. I wrote this, so I technically made her agree to that.

Also, I'm sorry, but no question today. Author-Chan is running out of ideas.

Keep an eye out for the next chapter, since it should be out soon. I'm kind of busy over the weekend (Easter, you know?) so it might take a bit longer than planned, but I'll do my best. Speaking out which, happy early Easter everybody! Eat lots of chocolate eggs for me, okay? Just don't get sick! (My little sister has done that many times in the past.)
