Taken

Trial

"DAMN IT!" Eren screamed as he punched the wall for the tenth time. The rest of the gang had found him and they were in an alleyway. Eren's bloody knuckles dripped and he went to punch the wall again but Hanij stopped him. She understood that Eren was pissed but he didn't need to get into the habit of punching things.

"Eren, it's not your fault-

"Yes it is!" Eren yelled, everyone was quiet,"I promised him. I promised him that I would protect him!"

No one said anything. They knew Eren was right, he had promised he would protect their captain. They would never blame him for this though. Levi sacrificed himself to save Eren and to stop people from getting hurt.

"We need to save him!" Eren shook Hanji by her shoulders.

"Eren, we can't break him out if thats what you're saying. We don't even know where he is" Armin cut in.

"We have to try something!" Eren fell back and sat on a chair. It had been hours and they couldn't pinpoint Levi or Mikasa. The tall male ran his hands through his hair. He needed to find Levi, or at least make sure he was alright so they could save him.

"Eren I know you want to save him but we have no choice but to be here." The small blonde was referring to how they were also being held captive. There were guards outside of their door not allowing them to leave. They were awaiting to be questioned, for Levi's trial. They all agreed they would refuse to say anything incriminating that they actually knew. This situation was very sensitive because Mikasa was looking for any way at all to get rid of Levi.

"Well we have to come up with a way to save him at the trial."

Meanwhile with Levi~

He laid there locked in a cage like a slave. He had cuffs on his hands and feet that restricted him to the wall. The effects of the antidote weren't kicking in yet so he was still tired and in pain from the bruises that hadn't healed. He hadn't eaten at all for the past two days through all the craziness. He was up all night not being able to get sleep from being uncomfortable and worrying about his friends- well the people who saved him anyway. He blamed himself for everything. Eren could be hurt, any of them could be hurt. He had already cried himself bare of tears and his face was streaked from where the tears had fallen. At this point he was just awaiting his trial. He didn't care if he died anymore, he didn't deserve Eren. Eren deserved someone so much better, he thought. His train of thought was interrupted by sounds outside of his cell block. The wooden door creaked open. He then realised this must have been what Eren felt like being held like some kind of monster behind those bars. Levi felt the same way. Footsteps made their way towards him but he didn't bother to take his eyes away from the ceiling he lay staring up at. The footsteps stopped and a voice rang out instead.

"Are you going to get up or are we going to have to drag you?" Levi didn't respond. He simply laid there and closed his eyes. The guards burst in the next second and dragged the fragile captain to his feet. They made sure his hands were tightly locked in the cuffs and chains before shoving him along to the courtroom.

When they arrived Levi stood at the door finally looking up. The guards behind him shoved him against it.

"Don't act all scared now that we've finally got you, little captain." Her voice had much Malice in it. Levi couldn't understand why they could hate him so much. Sure people disliked him and now didn't trust him but it seemed this random soldier had something personal against him. Levi had never met her in his life. He opened his mouth to say something but he was pulled back and shoved again but this time to the cold floor of the courtroom. The room went silent and Levi didn't dare to look up. The guards dragged him again to the middle and chained him to a pole much like Eren had been. He had to admit, it really did suck being treated like a monster. And it was worse that people acted with hate rather than fear. The judge walked in.
