Beyond The Walls

Chapter 032

Safe?

I slowly open my eyes, only findind myself on a forest. How did I get here? "You're awake already?" A familiar voiced said. I turn around to see who it was, and it was Leone. "Leone? What am I doing here? Where are the others?" I asked him. Gustav then handed me a cup of tea before heaving a sigh. "The district was attacked by titans. Both the armored and jaw titan. We took you here since this is the only option to keep you alive." Gustav said as he pats my back. But why didn't they brought Yukan and Amir with them? "Where's Yukan and Amir? What happened to them?" I asked once again. Leone stood up before putting some firewood on the camp fire. "They left you, Jiro. They were busy minding the shifters than protecting you." He replied. His words were like dagger in my chest. I tried to stand up but I was still too weak. "That's not true!" I shouted. Gustav just sighed before patting my back. "I know it hurts, but it is true." He said before standing up to get something from a box. He handed it to me. It was a piece of paper with handwritings on it. "We retrieved that from the jaw titan shifter. We killed him when we found out that he was carrying you." He told me. I nod before standing up with Gustav holding on to my arm. "Let's go back to the Lev district. I know they are looking for me." I told Leone. He stopped what he was doing before angrily turning to face me. "We can't! We're both lost here, Goddamnit!" He bursted out. I was quite shocked but soon comforted him. "I wish we can really get you back there, but we lost the map." Gustav said with a sad tone. I nod at them before taking a seat. "How are we supposed to go back then?" I asked. They both shrugged their shoulders, until a man came. "Oh, Rocco. Did you got the information?" Leone asked. This Rocco guy seems familiar. But I can't pinpoint where I saw him. He looks at me before smiling. "You must be Jiro? I'm Rocco Schmidt. I live here. I saw Gustav and Leone bringing you here." He told me. I then smiled at him before thanking him. All I am thinking right now is how are we supposed to go back?
