The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 23

Location – Forest Of Giant Trees

With Squad Levi

Danielle's PoV

We Ride Faster, Trying To Lose The Female Titan When Gunther Yells, "Shit! We Can't Get Away Just Galloping Straight Through The Forest!" Eld Looks Back and Yells, "It's Fast! It's Gonna Catch Us!!" Petra Looks At Levi and Yells, "CAPTAIN!!" Oluo Does The Same and Pleads, "Switch To Vertical Manoeuvring!" I Hear The Whizzing Of ODM Gear and I Turn My Head To See Reinforcements Come From Behind To Fight The Female Titan.

Petra Looks Back and Cheers, "Reinforcements From Behind!!" I Turn Away and I Hear The Satisfying Screams Of Pain and Terror As The Female Titan Annihilates The Reinforcements. Petra Turns Away and Screams, "CAPTAIN! ORDERS?!" Oluo Gulps and Shouts, "Attack! That Thing Is Dangerous!!" Eld Nods and Agrees, "We Should Take It Down!" When The Captain Doesn't Respond, Eld Pulls Out His Blades and Growls, "I'm Gonna Chop It Into Pieces" Eren Whimpers and Yells, "Captain Levi?! Give Us Your Orders!!" Levi Pulls Out A Flare Gun and He Commands, "Everyone, Cover Your Ears." We Do As He Says and He Fires A Sound Grenade.

"A Sound Grenade?!" Eren Asks, With Terror Lacing His Voice. Levi Looks Ahead and Snaps, "What's Your Job? To Give In To Whatever You Happen To Feel? I Don't Think So. No, This Squad's Mission Is To Keep That Little Shit From Getting As Much As A Scratch. Or Die Trying" I Nod and I Tighten The Grip On My Reins and Growl Under My Breath.

Levi Places His Gun Away and Says, "We'll Depend On The Horses From Here On. Got That?" I Nod and Reply, "Solid Copy Sir!" Petra Nods and Answers, "Roger!" Eren Looks At Levi and Shouts, "Huh?! Depend On? How Far?! That Thing's Right Behind Us!" The Whizzing Of ODM Gear Informs Me That More Reinforcements Have Arrived.

Eren Turns His Head and Yells, "Again?! Back Up!! Hurry!! If We Don't Help, They'll Be Crushed Too!" Gunther Growls and Snaps, "Eren!! Face Forward!!" Eren Looks At The Older Male and Yelps, "Gunther?!" Eld Nods and Says, "Don't Break Step!! Keep Going At Full Speed!!" Eren Looks At Him and Yelps, "Eld!!"

I Let Out A Growl Of Frustration and I Bark, "Just Fucking Do It Yeager! The Whole Of Humanity Is Counting On You. At This Point, So Many Of Our Fellow Comrades Have Died! Do You Want Their Death's To Be In Vain?! Do You Want Your Mother's Death To Be In Vain?!" He Shakes His Head and Stammers, "N-No! But...." I Shake My Head and I Snap, "No Fucking Buts Yeager! Just Keep Going and Don't Look Back!"

Eren Looks At Me and Asks, "Why?! Who Can Stop That Thing Other Than Squad Levi?!" I Hear The Crushing Sound Of Someone Being Squished and Eren Yells, "Another One's Dead!! But We Could've Saved Him!" I Glare At Him and Snap, "For Fuck Sake, Yeager! Enough!!" Eren Ignores Me and Continues, "There's One More Still Fighting! If We Go Now.... There's Still Time To Help!!" I Groan In Frustration and I Say, "Petra! Help Me Out Here!!" Petra Nods and Says, "Eren! Face Forward and Keep Moving!"

Eren Looks At Her and Asks, "You're Telling Me To Look Away From The Battle?! You Mean Leave Our Comrades To Die and Run?!" Petra Nods and Answers, "Yes, That's Right! Follow The Captains Orders!" Eren Shakes His Head and Yells, "I Don't Understand Why We Have To Leave Our Fellow Soldiers and I Don't Understand Why Nobody Will Explain The Reason!"

Oluo Growls and Snaps, "It's Because The Captain Has Decided He Didn't Need To Explain!! You Can't Understand That Because You're Still A Rookie!! If You Get It Now, Shut Your Mouth and Obey!!" Eren Looks Down At His Hand After A Few Moments and He Lifts It To His Mouth.

I Realize What He's Trying To Do, and I Yell, "Yeager! No!" Petra Looks At Him and Yells, "Eren?! What Are You Doing?! That's Only Allowed When Your Life Is In Danger! You Promised, Remember?!" Eren Looks At Petra and I Hear, "Eren. You're Not Wrong. If You Wanna Do It, Go Ahead" Petra Looks At Levi Horrified and She Asks, "Captain?!"
