~ Shatter me ~ Lindsey Stirling, Lzzy Hale

*********

The rain grew heavier with every passing second, making it more difficult to adjust my vision. With my hood sheltering my face, it wasn't enough to cover from the strong winds. With expeditions like this one, always left me standing on edge. I may be strong, but sometimes we all have weaknesses.

"Captain Akira!"

Turning around slightly my little brother picks up the pace right beside me, holding his reigns tightly. He held an expression of concern, assuming it's the weather I gave him a firm look.

"Everything is gonna be alright," I assure him, when the distance bellowing of the titans echoes around the valley.

Swallowing thickly Erwin Smith's squad disappears from sight, causing my eyes to slightly widen. Darting my eyes around I couldn't make out where to find him, or to even look in the matter. My heart was pounding heavily, feeling like my rib cage was gonna burst.

Should I continue straight? What should I d--

"Captain Akira!"

Lifting my head I turn to Lena who seemed alarmed, making me turn more properly to notice one of my squad members missing. My eyes slowly widen, before looking at her then to my little brother.

"Where did Jonas go?" I question sternly.

"I-I don't know, for a moment I saw him and then......."

Clenching my jaw I wasn't sure how to go further with this situation, especially in this condition. All I felt in the moment was sudden instinct to survive, remembering my past mistakes as a rookie. My eyes glazed with so much concern for my squad member, when I notice a squad up ahead.

That must be Flagon's squad....gathering from our formations being a little closer

Flicking my reigns I pick the pace up, trying to remain close by to the squad. Soon as I make it Flagon notices me, "Akira!" he calls out in surprise, the rain showering down so heavily that it muffled our voices.

Looking at him sternly, "Have you see my squad member, Jonas?!"

"What?!"

"Have you see--"

"Captain lookout!!!!!!" I hear Mia cry out, causing ourselves to pull on our reigns before seeing Titans ambushing from all around. Our horses skid across the muddy ground, the water soaking through my clothes making it difficult to move. Suddenly I saw a few of the soldiers horses skid across the mud, tumbling down upon their owners.

"Ahhhh they're coming!!!!!"

The thundering footsteps made the earth tremble, while I try to maintain my horses balance. Without a second thought I activate my ODM gear, noticing a soldier about to be devoured. The voracious beasts maws open wide, salivated and hungry.

"Noooooo!!!!"

Flying high the rain pelts down making it difficult to adjust my vision, but locking in one point I dig my grappling hooks into the flesh before clicking the holder. Within a few seconds i angle my blades, and spiralled down slicing the nape with the blood showering upon everyone accidentally. Yet that soldier was unlucky, having his torso ripped apart with his innards falling out.

Feeling sick to the stomach, my eyes narrow upon another titan not far.

Yet there was so many my eyes were widen with sudden fear, watching many titans devouring everyone in sight. My breath wavers from the sudden realisation that this is reality I'm in, yet what I'm seeing is deja vu all over again.
