Chapter 32

Kenny

Wild wind wields around her cold body, she was losing her sanity. Elma was dead, she was dead, and all because of her. It was her fault.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault," she repeats sharply, her heart twisting in her chest as the wind howls against the windows. Levi could tell she was losing control and he had to do something before the wind would become uncontrollable.

"Everyone stand back," his stern voice calls out to everyone. They slowly step back as the wind strengthens, "(Y/n)! Can you hear me?"

He awaits a response or even a slight movement, but she simply clutches the newspaper to her chest as the world caves in on her, "(Y/n)! Hey!"

The wind dies down as the girl tilts her head upwards to look at him. She had heard his voice. Her eyes didn't have any tears, just dull (e/c) eyes. That was it, that was her breaking point. She couldn't do anything about it.

Her head slowly looks down at the paper, her eyes examining the way the artist drew Elma's body. She couldn't imagine the pain Elma had gone through. Her heart pounds in her throat as she slowly places the newspaper on the ground, "I'm sorry, I lost control."

Levi walks up to her, pulling her upwards to stand. She keeps her head down in shame. He didn't know what to tell her to make her feel better. He just didn't know what to do. He had lost control when Farlan and Isabel died, "I'm here for you."

(Y/n) looks up into his stormy blue eyes and she gives him the weakest smile he had ever seen, "I know...I won't forgive them for Elma's death. They started this war and I'm going to end it, even if it means getting myself killed."

He nods in understanding, knowing that he wouldn't be able to change her mind. Hanji runs up to them and places her hands on (Y/n)'s shoulder, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you would react like this."

"It's okay, I'm just tired" (Y/n) whispers to her and her friends slowly walk up to them.

Eren's teal eyes stay on her figure and he takes a deep breath in. He pushes Hanji to the side and wraps his arms around her. He brings her face down onto his chest to give her comfort. He didn't have to say anything for (Y/n) to know that he was giving her all his support and care. Eren leans his head onto her's.

They stood there for a few minutes and Levi looks away to give them privacy, his stomach twisting at the sight in front of him. He crosses his arms over his chest and his blue eyes become icy. He glances over at Hanji, "You have more bad news than that."

Hanji sighs and she waves her hand for everyone to get close to her. Eren separates from (Y/n), but he intertwines his fingers with her's. Hanji glances down at the ground sadly, "Pastor Nick was tortured and then murdered. I believe it's the First Interior Squad who is responsible for his death."

"One thing is for sure, Pastor Nick died without telling them anything" Levi states and he glances at (Y/n) before picking up the newspaper. He skims over the article, "(Y/n), you really got under his skin. All of your demon friends' names are on here, even yours."

"What demon friends?" Connie asks with his eyebrows furrow. 

(Y/n) sighs and lets go of Eren's hand. He gives her a confused look and she frowns, "I used to be part of the Righteous Angels with four other members, but we ceased operations three years ago because our leader turned her back on us."

"You were part of a terrorist organization?" Eren asks with his eyes wide.

(Y/n) raises her eyebrow at him, "We're not terrorists. We're vigilantes. We operated in the Red District of Stohess and what we did was punish the pigs who the government turned a blind eye to. Our targets were always people who committed atrocious crimes, never innocent people."
