The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 9

Danielle's PoV

I Land On A Roof and I Look Around and The Evacuation Bell Rings and I Hear, "EVACUATION! REPLENISH YOUR GAS! WE'RE GONNA CLIMB THE WALL!" I Look Back At The Elite Squad Who Have Caught Up To Me and With A Grin On My Face, I Jump Off The Roof and Use My ODM Gear To Climb Up To A Vantage Point.

Mikasa Joins Me Seconds Later and She Says, "They Haven't Scaled The Wall Yet...Why?" I Nudge Her and I Point To HQ and I Say, "We Can't Replenish Our Gas That's Why" I Jump Down From The Tower and I Sheathe My Blades and I Hear, "Danielle?! Mikasa?! I Thought You Were In The Rear Guard!" I Roll My Eyes and Mikasa Yells, "Annie!" Annie Turns Around and Her Eyes Lock Onto The Ackerman and I Walk Over To Reiner and Bertholdt and I Hear, "I Think I Have A Grasp Of The Situation and I Apologize For Bringing My Personal Feelings Into This But Have You Seen Eren's Squad?".

Annie Shakes Her Head and Replies, "No, But Some Squads Made It Over The Wall." Reiner Rests His Arm On My Shoulder and Answers, "Now That You Mention It, Armin Over There Was From The Same Squad." Mikasa Runs Over To Armin and Annie Turns To Me and Asks, "Are You Hurt?"

I Shake My Head and I Kiss Her Forehead and I Say, "Just A Few Cuts and Bruises. I'll Be Fine" She Is About To Reply When We Hear, "In Training Corps Squad 34...Thomas Wagner, Nac Tias, Mylus Zeramuski, Mina Carolina and Eren Yeager. Those Five Carried Out Their Mission and Died Bravely In Battle...."

My Eyes Widen and I Stutter, "M-Mina?" Annie Grabs My Wrist and Growls, "Get Your Head In The Game. We'll Drink To Her When We Get To The Interior" I Shake My Head and Bark, "I'm Not Going To The Interior. I'll Do Anything To Get Us Home, Even If It Means Risking My Life" I Pull Out My Blades and I Yell, "Oi Ackerman!" Mikasa Walks Over and Says, "Yeah?" I Look At Her With A Bloodthirsty Smirk and I Say, "Let's Give Them A Good Send Off Eh?" I Hold My Fist Up and Mikasa Gets The Message and Bumps Fists With Me.

She Nods Firmly and Mikasa Walks Over To The Edge Of The Roof and Annie Grabs My Wrist and Pleads, "Danielle.... C'mon. Think About This" I Kiss Her Head and I Say, "A Comfortable Life In The Interior Isn't Me Annie. I've Been Going Over It Again and Again But I'm More Of A Frontline Person Myself. You Know This. We Have Been Best Friends Since We Were Kids. So, Annie Leonhardt, Are You Going To Turn Your Back On Me Now?" Annie Lets Go Of My Wrist and Says, "Just, Don't Do Anything Stupid. I Expect To See You On My Days Off" I Grin, and I Say, "I Promise.".

I Walk Over To Mikasa and She Says, "If We Eliminate The Titans That Are Swarming Around HQ, We'll All Be Able To Fill Up On Gas and Scale The Wall" She Turns To Marco and Asks, "Am I Wrong?" He Shakes His Head and Stammers, "N-No, You're Right. B-But Even With You and Danielle There.... Against That Many Of Them"

I Cut Him Off and Growl, "We Can Do It" Mikasa Nods "We're Strong... Stronger Than All Of You...Extremely Strong! And That's Why.... We'll Be Able To Drive The Enemy Out Of There.... Even On Our Own." I Cross My Arms and Mikasa Continues, "But I Guess All Of You Are Useless... Cowardly... Pathetic. It's Really Too Bad. Stay Here.... And Suck Your Thumbs While You Watch Us."

I Smirk and Bark, "The Only People Who Actually Have Balls Here Seem To Be Mikasa, Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie and Myself! HUMANITY NEVER BACKS DOWN!" I Stand Up Straight and I Bark, "ARE WE GOING LET THESE BASTARDS CORNER US WHILE THEY DESTROY EVERYTHING WE LOVE, OR WILL YOU RIDE WITH US INTO BATTLE AND GIVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT UNTIL YOUR LAST DYING BREATH?!"

Annie Looks At Me In Surprise and Reiner and Bertholdt Smirk and Marco Yells, "Guys! What Are You Saying?! You Mean To Engage All Of Those Titans Yourselves? It's Impossible..." Mikasa Turns Around and States, "If We Can't Do It... We'll Just Die.... But If We Win, We Live... and If We Don't Fight.... We Can't Win" I Hold Up My Blade and I Yell, "WE SHALL RIDE ETERNAL, SHINY AND CHROME UNDER THE WINGS OF FREEDOM! LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!" Mikasa Jumps Across To Another Roof and I Follow.
