The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 25

In The Forest With Squad Levi

Danielle's PoV

Eren Crosses His Arms and Asks, "How Could They Keep Even Seasoned Veterans Of The Corps In The Dark?" Oluo Groans and Snaps, "Shut Up, Would Ya?" Petra Glares At The Boy and Asks, "What Are You Trying To Say? That The Commander and Captain Don't Trust Us?!" Eren Shakes His Head and Stammers, "N-No But That's What It Amounts To!" Petra Growls and Oluo Yells, "Petra! Rip Out That Guy's Teeth! Then Shove Them Back In Backwards!" Everyone Stops Yelling and They Look At Me When I Sniffle.

Eren Looks At Me Concerned and He Asks, "Danielle? What's Up?" I Look Down With Tears Spilling From My Eyes and I Whimper, "I.... I Shouldn't Have Left Her Alone...." Oluo Sounds Genuinely Concerned When He Asks, "Who? Your Girlfriend?" I Nod and Grin Softly.

Tears Drip Onto My Pants and The Paper In My Hands and I Say, "She's 16, Alone In Stohess and...." A Whimper Cuts Me Off and Petra Asks, "and???" I Open My Eyes and I Say, "She's Pregnant." Eld Grins and He Says, "Whoa! Congratulations!" Gunther Pats My Back and He Exclaims, "Holy Shit Danielle! This Is Huge!" I Grin and Eren Gasps, "Danielle.... You're Gonna Be A Father" I Nod and Reply, "I Know But... I Don't Wanna End Up Like My Dad. That Bastard Beat Me For Years."

Oluo Smirks and Says, "Hey Kid. Trust Me. That Boy Or Girl Will Grow Up To Have Your Brains and Brawn. They Will Make You So Damn Proud and Nobody Can Tell You Otherwise" I Send Him A Weak Smile and I Say, "Thanks, Oluo But I Don't Think I Can Do This. I'm Only 16 and Not Cut Out To Be A Father" Eren Shakes His Head and States, "That Is Not True" Petra Nods and Agrees, "Yeah. You Learn As You Go Along." I Nod and I Run A Hand Through My Hair.

I Smile At Them and I Say, "Thanks. I Just Hope I Survive This So I Can Get Back To Annie and The Baby" Eren Grins and Asks, "Any Ideas On Names?" I Shake My Head and Answer, "No. The Baby Wasn't Even Planned But I Think I Would Like To Name The Baby After One Of My Grandparents Or My Godparents. Anyway, Enough Worrying About Me. What Eren Said Might Be True" We All Look At Eld.

Eld Nods and Says, "But Think About It, That Trap Wouldn't Have Worked Without Quite A Few People Knowing About It Before Hand. I Think The Only Ones Who Knew Were The Survivors From Five Years Ago. Or I'd Like To Think That" Oluo Nods and Says, "I Get It. Yeah, That Has To Be It. See, Eren? That's What It Is." Petra Nods and Points Out, "Right! They Had To Do It That Way. They Must Have Assumed That The Spy Started Working On The "Inside" When The Wall Was Destroyed, Five Years Ago.... So, The Commander Narrowed Down The Suspects To Anyone Who Joined After That"

"Five Years.... Is There Really A Spy?" Eren Asks. I Nod and Answer, "That Would Be The Most Logical Explanation" Eld Strokes His Chin and Says, "I Wonder If That's Who Killed Sonny and Bean" Petra Hums and Gasps, "Oh! That's When The Commander Asked Me That Question!" Eren Nods and Answers, "He Asked Me Too. So That's What That Was About" We All Nod and I Hum Quietly.

Eld Grunts and Replies, "Maybe If We'd Been Able To Answer, He'd Have Let Us Work On The Real Mission Though I Don't Think Any Of Us Could Have" I Shrug and I Point Out, "I Knew The Answer But I Wasn't Informed. Probably Because I Was A Rookie" Oluo Crosses His Arms and Asks, "Hey, I Knew The Answer! It's Just... I Didn't Dare Say It. You Guys Know Why?" Petra Rolls Her Eyes and Asks, "Why?" Oluo Smirks and Boasts, "What, You Really Don't Know? Well, As Your Level I'm Not Surprised. Why DO You Think You Don't Know? It's Because None Of You Compare To Me" Petra Glares At Him and Snaps, "Are You Still Trying To Imitate The Captain? Because Captain Levi Doesn't Talk Like That"

I Sigh and Say, "Oh My God. Seriously? Petra, Oluo Like You. He's Trying To Imitate The Captain So You Will Notice Him. It's Not Hard To See That" Oluo Looks At Me and Yells, "Not True, Rookie!!!" I Laugh and Scoff, "Liar! You're Trying To Look and Act Like Captain Levi To Gain Her Affection. To Be Honest, It's Pathetic. Just Be Yourself, Girls Don't Like It When You Try So Hard To Be Someone Else"
