My Warrior

Chapter 5

It was somewhere between 5:30 AM and we were all in our groups. Instructor Shadis was calling roll and when he was done we were dismissed to go where we were suppose to.
It was starting to get hot and hummid already. The mountain where we were suppose to head to wasn't even walking distance. My stomach started to rumble.
"Was that your stomach Y/N?" Reiner asked.
"Y-yes"
"We can stop to quickly eat a ration cracker if you want."
"No! Let's keep going. I'll be fine."
Something strange about Bertholdt was that he was quiet ever since we left like he hasn't said a word. I wonder why.

Bertholdt's POV

I don't know where to start. She's here, who know's what's about to happen but knowing Reiner he will start making all these kissy faces at me. I kept looking Y/N to make sure if she see's anything that might trigger her memory. So far she looks good. The sun was starting to rise up and I knew Y/N was hungry and I could see she really wanted to take a break but she must think if she does she'll slow us down and will get a bad grade.
"Hey let's all quickly take a break." I said.
"I agree." Reiner said.
I could see that Y/N wanted to object but I stopped her.
"Y/N it's okay. We barely started. Everyone is probably taking their break already I mean it is hot and hummid and we can't keep going without eating anything. So were taking a break."
She reluctantly sat down with us and as soon as I gave her a ration pack she quickly started eating it. Sometimes I wonder if her and Sasha are sisters. She too is always hungry like Sasha and they both enjoy meat.
"C-could I have another one please?" She asked.
"S-sure here." I say as I hand her another one and then again she qucikly started eating it.
Once we were done we started walking and we reached the mountain. We were suppose to go climb down to a house. The sun was already out and about.
"Hey haven't we already pass by this trail?" Y/N asked.
Me and Reiner looked at each other. For some reason he gave me a smirk. I really wasn't in a mood.
"No Y/N. We barely got here silly." Reiner said as he chuckled a bit and ruffled her hair.
"Oh my mistake it's just for a second I thought we did."
"No worries." Reiner said.
We kept walking then Y/N stopped and she looked frozen. Oh no.

Your POV

We continued to walk and then I stopped. I saw a river. Oh that river me and my brother and dad would always come to splash our faces and drink from. A bunch of memories came back and some of them were from when my parents were together and we all came up here. Tears were now streaming down my face and I heard Bertholdt walking up to me so I quickly dried my eyes.
"A-are you alright Y/N?"
"No. You two go on ahead. I'm heading back to base. Don't worry. Instructor Shadis know's how good you and Reiner are so he won't punish you two but if he says otherwise I will tell him I will take your punsihment."
"Wh-what? Y/N you can't just leave-."
"Don't touch me Bertholdt!" I yell.
"Whoa Y/N are you okay? What's has gotten into you?" Reiner said coming towards us.
"Nothing I'm going back."
"Y/N you can't-" Reiner started.
I made a run for it and I heard they were running after me. I heard Reiner dropping the backpack he was carrying.
I was trying to get far away. I didn't want to be here anymore. Just being here brought back family memories and it made me wish I had died that day the Colossal Titan broke the wall.
I should have listened to Bertholdt. I should have not come. Why did I when I knew something like this would happen? I should have told Instructor Shadis about this. I'm actually scared of dying now. If only I had died back then I would have never had this fear of dying and I would be with my mum, my brother, and my dad.
Not paying attention I triped over a rock and thought I was about to meet my fate. I thought I was gonna fall off the mountain until I actually felt strong buff arms catch me in time.
I was breathing heavily and crying.
"Hey Y/N it's okay it's okay. You're safe."
Reiner said.
"Reiner let me go I don't wanna be here!"
"Hey Y/N look at me. Look at me." Reiner said as he turned me around.
"Whatever it is that your going through me and Bert are here for you. Ain't that right Bertholdt?"
"R-right. Y/N..." Bert said walking towards us and started grabbing my hand.
"We will complete this assignment together. We need you."
For some reason after Bertholdt grabbed my hand I had calmed down a bit.
"Let's go Y/N, me and Reiner will be here."
Bertholdt was still grabbing my hand and he was blushing but I didn't care. I just didn't want him to let go.
We continued and I was getting tired. I kept asking Reiner for the map and it looks like we were getting close but my mouth was getting dried and I became extremely thirsty and I asked Reiner for the water we had and I was drinking fast that Reiner actually had to take the water away from me worried something might happen for drinking the water to fast and I was starting to have rapid breathing.
"Reiner Y/N is not looking good." Bertholdt said.
"Yeah we should-"
All of a sudden I fainted.
"Rei..." Was all I heard from Bertholdt before he catched me in his arms.
".e nee. t. hurr.y" I heard Reiner say and I felt my weak body getting carried and placed on Bertholdt's back.
