Deadly [Attack on Titan]

Chapter 3

Blairs POV

I was once again being chased through the streets of the underground city, at least I can say I was right about the whole 'not giving up' thing though. Although I was kind of hoping that I would be wrong at that time. Sadly this time I couldn't really think of a plan, I didn't have any gear so I was on foot and I didn't start from a high up place this time and by the time I would be able to get to somewhere higher up, it would be very likely that they would've caught up. Because of the way the streets were set out it was definite that I would end up and at a dead-end eventually, so basically I'm screwed.

I could hear them chasing after me, the sounds of the gear really didn't help them that much stealth-wise. Sadly my time of being able to run was coming to an end as I reached a smooth wall of an alleyway, I looked around, trying to catch my breath and also looking for a way out as I could already see the people at the entrance of the alley, the only way out would be to fight them, however, they were now in a large group of around 12 people and the only weapon I had on me was my knife. There was also the fact that I had no idea how these people fought, with the guards before I could observe their fighting styles before having to actually fight them, with these people that was not the case.

The three from yesterday landed in front of me whereas the rest of them stayed and blocked the entrance. While they all seemed stoic, I could see the hint of caution in their eyes as they approached me once again. I stared as they approached, not taking my eyes off of them for even a second as after all I was trapped and I have almost no idea what these people are capable of, it appeared that they shared this sentiment as they stared straight back at me. Erwin stood in front of the other two.

"I'm sure you already know why we're here so I am just going to skip to the main part of this, we already know that you are the one who murdered those military police soldiers, so you have two options"

He paused in his speech to take a breath and look me dead in my eyes.

"You can either be handed over to the military police where you will most likely be executed for murder or you can come with us and join the training corps and, by extension, the scouting legion when you graduate"

I began to consider the two options, while I don't like either of them, I'd rather not die again, although it doesn't scare me either and there's always the slight chance that I could escape the military police that would be rather difficult, even if they are all a bunch of lazy bastards. The second option doesn't seem all that great either, I'd just end up dying in few years in the military rather than straight away with the execution, there's also the fact that I hate following orders. I thought about it for a few more seconds before sighing and opening my mouth to reply.

"Personally, I think I'd rather go to the military police"
