"Eren, what do you think you're doing!?" I ask and I try to get up from the ground. I groan when I feel the stinging pain in my leg. I look back at my leg; it's covered in blood. My blood.

"Are you okay?" Eren kneels down next to me and tries to help me. "What happened.

I close my eyes and try not to focus on the pain.

"I'm fine."

I try to push myself up another time, this time it works out better than the last time. I push my hair from my face and look at Eren. He was stupid to come in here. We need to survive until sunset, we don't have ODM gear, I cannot run and Eren has never even seen a Titan. We are in danger. We can't stay here.

"We have to find a save spot," I whisper.

"Why?"

Wow, he's stupid.

"Because Titans will find us if we don't find a save place where we can stay until sunset," I explain and Eren frowns.

"Why would we?" Eren asks. "I'm just going to kill all the Titans that get too close."

I sigh and look down at the floor.

"Look, Eren," I say and I try to limp into the forest so we can maybe climb in a tree or something like that. "These Titans are about three to five meters big, you have no ODM gear and even if you would, you wouldn't know how to use it. We have to get save."

Eren takes a deep breath and rolls with his eyes. He takes a few steps towards me and we slowly start walking into the forest.

It's quite dark underneath the trees and I can't see it when Titans are coming closer.

After limping through the forest, I stop.

"What's wrong?" Eren asks.

"Be silent."

I hear rustling next to me, followed by a loud noise of footsteps.

"Titans!" I yell and I try to run. I fall onto the ground and yell from pain.

Shit, I'm dead if I don't get up.

I hear the footsteps coming closer and I fear the worst.

"Eren, run!"

Eren doesn't listen and walks towards me.

Is he going to help me? He shouldn't. We'll both die.

"No, get up!" Eren yells at me and he tries to pull me up.

I push myself upwards, but the burning pain in my leg tells me that I probably bruised it. I fall back onto the ground as soon as I'm on my feet again.

The Titan appears in the distance and I know we'll only have one or two more minutes before it reaches us.

"Get up!" Eren yells and he pulls on me another time. "Come on, Levi! Try!"

I try another time, but my leg is too weak to hold me up. The wound started to bleed again by now.

"Just run," I say and I look at the Titan in fear. I know this Titan. It's ugly, glowing red eyes. It's bent over towards the floor, running on both feet and arms. Its long brown strings of hair cast a shadow over its meager face.

Tears start to run over my cheeks and I feel anger boiling in me. I know this Titan. It killed Farlan.

My body freezes while I angrily stare at the Titan as it comes closer. I hear Eren yelling, but I can't make words of what he's saying.

I see how it takes Farlan's body and moves him is his mouth. I can hear Farlan's shrieks above the growls of the Titan.

That time I froze as well and I will not freeze again. I told myself that day, but I this time froze anyway. I can't move, can't think. I only see Farlan's body flying through the sky over and over again.

I feel how some force pulls me back when the Titan gets closer.

I get pulled off of the ground and my legs drag through the mud as I get pulled away from the Titan. Within a few minutes I feel how I get dropped down against a tree.

I sit upright and see how Eren runs towards the Titan.

He's yelling something at it.

"Stop, Eren," I say, but I'm clearly not loud enough, because he doesn't reply. "You can't beat him."
