WARNING: INTENSE SCENES IN MIKASA'S POV. NOTHING FRICK FRACKITY IN A WAY YOU'VE BEEN WARNED AND I'LL NOT HAVE ANY SASS !

~Bertholdt's POV~

It's been hours of hunting, and still nothing! There were two baby deer, too small to take and too young as well. Besides that, there was nothing else. I caught one rabbit only, but I needed something more for at least the entire week. I caught a few fish in the lake, after 5 hours, and then began to quest for more game.

Three hours later, absolutely nothing. Nothing at all! Ugh. I guess today just isn't my day and I could try again tomorrow, plus I shouldn't be too negative because that attitude can go out into the atmosphere and worsen things for tomorrow. I might as well start going home to skin the rabbit and salt this bundle of fish.

I walked slowly and paced, it was such a quiet day, besides my rumbling tummy. I missed both lunch and breakfast. I began to walk a bit faster for the sake of food haha. I wonder what Mikasa's doing right now? Maybe sharpening her blades, or picking at the garden again. Maybe even looking in the basement at old photos and knick knacks haha. I have some rather embarrassing photos from childhood. . . like baby ones in the tub or my first day of school outfit. . .let's just hope she doesn't find those ones. . . .

There was some rustling on the tree besides me?

"Kyiah!" I felt a hard kick to the neck, I was plopping down to the ground before I could ever even turn my neck!

"Uhgmmxjcjfj. . ."

"Dummkopf" I heard a familiar voice whisper under her breath.

"Ah-Annie?" I didn't dare get up. My face was to the ground and my arms were in a push up position.

"How can you even wear that cape? Don't you feel sickened, ashamed?" Annie scoffed and spat to me, her phloem landed right near me, but it didn't touch me.

"Ah-annie. . . I didnt know! It. . ." I paused, trying to recollect my thoughts. "I--I didn't know until Mikasa snapped me out of it. . ." as I spoke, I began to sit up, bent on my knees.

"You sound so pathetic." Annie's visual expressions were constant and unwavering, like a bold hardened statute was piercing through my very soul right now, especially with her cold and icy blue eyes.

"I'm serious! You think that I-- I!? Ha! That I Bertholdt Fubar would do such a horrid thing and allow such horrendous events be inflicted unto thousands of people! Human beings, living breathing, human. Human beings. Humans like you and I!? If so, you and I were never really friends to begin with!"
