Fire and Ice

26. Red Scarf

"Maybe we can sell her. She's the last of her kind." Mikasa slowly opened her eyes to men have conversation. The one standing up put his foot on her and moved her so he could see her face. "She's to young.  Wouldn't go for her myself." He moved his foot and looked at the other man. "Well it's a good thing you're not our buyer. We might have been able to make more if we had the mother." The other man said. "She was going crazy, alright!?"

The there was knock. The man standing up opened it. There was a little boy with a red scarf on covered in water (it's raining) "What do you want?" The man asked. "I-I got lost. I saw your house a-and wondered if I could stay here for a while." The man looked to his conrad who nodded. "Sure. It's not safe for you to be in the rain like this. Come on in-" The man was cut off when the little boy put a knife in his belly. "Like I'd fall for that. You're a monster that deserves to die. And this will be the last face you ever see." 

When the boy took out the knife, the man fell to the ground. "Hey!" The other man said. The the boy closed the door. The man ran up to open it but the boy was gone. The he came out of no where with a spear. "Ah!" He yelled as he stabbed the man. Mikasa watched as if it was on loop. When he was done, he walked over to her and untied the ropes. "Mikasa, right? I'm Eren, Doctor Jaeger's son. It's okay, you're safe now." As she looked at her rope free hands, she thought about what happened to her parents. "Where's the third guy?" She asked. "Huh?" The guy came form the back. "What the-!" Eren tried to reach for the knife but he kicked him. The man grabbed him by his neck and started to choke him. "D-Do....it! K-kill..him..." 

Mikasa stood up and grabbed the knife.  "I-I don't know if I can!" She started to shake. "F-fight! I-I...It's the...only way to....l-l-l-live..." Then a rush of energy went through her body and she wasn't afraid. She stopped shaking. She pushed down her right foot and broke the floor board. "Ah!!!!" She ran up to him and stabbed him in the heart from behind.

Mikasa stood by a small fire outside as Eren and his father talked. "I couldn't have waited! They would have taken her by then!" His father knelt down and put is hands on his son's shoulders. "That's not the point! I could have lost you!"

"Um...Dr. Jeager? Can you tell me how to get home? It's cold, and I have nowhere to go." Eren took his scarf and walked over her. He wrapped it around her covering up half her face. "There, that should keep you warm." She looked down at it. "Y-yeah. I think so." Dr. Jeager stood up. "Mikasa, why don't you come live with us?" She responded with, "Uh..." Eren grabbed the sleeve of her nightgown and softly pulled her. "Come on, don't think about. We need to get home. She was silent. "Um, okay." She finally said. "Let's go home."

Tris jolted awake. But she wasn't bleeding. "That's where the scarf came from." She looked at the left where her weights, treacle, pull up bar, and punching bag was. "Where did all this stuff come from?" Then she turned to the right to looked out her window, which was right next to her bed. "Uh...6:52. Still got time." She got out for bed, quickly got dress, then went outside. When she got there, there were arrows on the ground. She followed them and ended at the back of the building. There was a what looked like a new latter with a note on it. She pulled off the paper and read it.

Sorry for flipping out, what you did was amazing and you should know that. I got this made for you so you can watch sun rise like at home.

                          Love,

                                       ~Dad~

She playfully rolled her eyes. "Love you too." She put the note in her pocket and climbed the later. She was shocked to see who was waiting for her. "Well, well, if it isn't the wing hero-" She sat next to him on the lead of the roof. "-Hawks." She smiled at her. "At your service." He handed her a coffee. "Long time huh?"
