There Comes A Time

Chapter 2: Why Me?!?

<Erens POV>

Eren was thinking to himself the whole time and was trying to figure out what he's going to do once he returns back to his home. What he's trying to find even he doesn't even know himself, but he still continues to move forward, up the steep rocky hill.

'I need to find a way back to Wall Maria, it will be tricky but there is something I need to do. I'm going to have to get my hands on a Set of Manoeuvring Gear, luckily I hid two of my blades in the forest whilst we were doing our training, I have the blades covered but the Manoeuvring Gear I need to get a hold of, since I'm on my own I'm going to have to figure a way out, either go back to base and steal the gear without them noticing'

Eren continues on foot with a huge bag full of his stuff, that includes Bottles of Water, Five Pieces of Bread wrapped in a white cloth, he had to steal most of them from Sasha who had a secret stash of her own hidden in her cabin room, a spare change of clothes and a Rifle for just in case purposes. He was carrying all of this while staying aware of his surroundings, hoping that no one followed him.

'I sure hope they don't come after me, after all this shit that I put the Survey Corps Through, Why does there have to be violence in this insane World of ours? Those damn Titans........... they take our lives, our Dreams and one of them ate my Mother, Why Meeeeee???? I can't go on like this anymore, something has to be done, whatever piece of information I find in the cellar of my home, I sure hope its important' Eren thought.

While journeying on his own he came across a long view, while looking back he saw Torches in the distant, he realises that they have already sent out a search party to find him.

Eren continued and faced forward on the task that he has to do.
Eren: "There has to be a way back to Wall Maria without me being spotted, I sure hope they found that letter". Eren mumbled to himself.

Eren kept on moving forward and came across a field and in the distance was the City in Wall Rose, Eren knew what he had to do, and that was to sneak in undetected and make his way to the Central of the town, whilst there he had to steal a pair of Manoeuvring Gear.

Eren: "This is going to be tricky" Eren mumbled, "I sure hope I can pull this through"

While mumbling to himself Eren heard some rustling behind him, he immediately ran into the bushes beside him and waited to see who it was, to his surprise it was someone who never got of his back.

Eren: "It's Mikasa........... Dammit I need to move quickly before I'm spotted," Eren whispered to himself.

Mikasa eventually moved on from where Eren saw her, she turned back into the forest hoping she might be able to find Eren.

'That's it no more lazying about I need to move now, hopefully the people in the City don't detect me doing anything, I sure hope Mikasa and Armin find that letter, it's where I sleep underneath my pillow, but I'm pretty sure they've found it.

<Timeskip>

Back at the Boys Cabin Room, Armin kept on looking around the room to see if Eren left anything, probably an answer to this mess, he searched nearly every part of the room, including breaking parts of the wooden floor, he was that eager to find out why Eren fled.

'Dammit' Armin thought 'There has to be something I can find, maybe the bathroom, no, maybe under the duvet covers, no.

Armin was about to give up until he noticed something, it was little piece of paper sticking out of Erens ripped pillow, Armin grabs the pillow and pulls out a White Rolled up paper, he undoes the ribbon attached to it and reads the letter.

'Dear Armin, Mikasa and the rest of the Survey Corps, by the time you read this letter I will be long gone, I don't know how long I'll be gone, I don't know if I can ever return, but I do know that it is the right choice indeed, you guys are expecting some answers for why I fled, but the reason is.............. I don't know, all I do know is that I can no longer be apart of the Survey Corps. I know that I hold the key to Humanities Survival, but in that case I will be giving it up, you see before I was kidnapped Reiner and Bertholdt came to me and offered me a deal they revealed themselves as the Collosal and Armoured Titan, however regarding the deal the offered me I refused it at first but then I had some time to think about it.

Regarding my situation I will be somewhere that I once called home, there's something that I need to find, the key that my Dad bestowed upon me before he died has some sort of connection, there has to be more to this overall. So that it is all old friend, tell Sasha and the others I'm Sorry and tell Mikasa that I'm glad she was my best friend for that long, it would've been nice to tell her how I actually feel but I don't think that's the case. Finally to Armin, I hope you go out of the walls and find the so called "Ocean", glad that you could fulfill your dream, and thanks for being my close friend.'

Armin had tears rolling down his face as he was quivering as well, he doesn't know how Mikasa would feel to this letter nor what she would do.

Mikasa came back into the cabin and saw Armin with Tears rolling down his face, she had the sense that somethng was wrong.

Mikasa: "What's wrong Armin?!?............."
