I shouldn't love him

"Pay with your life."

After hours of riding her horse Historia has no idea where she was. She headed in the direction of the village laogai. Which is where Ymir died. She wanted answers. Because no one was telling her anything. She didn't even know how she died. One day they were happily together. And the next day her father announced her death. Ymir meant the world to Historia. After her sisters death Ymir was there for her. And now Ymir is gone as well.

Historia literally had no plan though. She just wanted to get away from the palace. She would rather be anywhere else.

She stopped at a river to let her horse rest and drink some water. She looked up the hill from the river and seen a town in the distance. She looked back at her horse drinking from the river and realized how thirsty she was.

After tying down her horse out of site from others, she put on a cloak and pulled the hoodie over her head so no one is the village would recognize her.

Her father probably wasn't aware of her absence because she would go hours without anyone checking up on her but it's only a matter of time before everyone realizes she's gone. But she covered her identity just to be safe.

Historia walked into what she believed was a restaurant but instead was a bar, but she didn't know that. All eyes in the room looked at her. There were 4 men. One of them was wearing an apron, cleaning off classes behind the bar and the others were sitting around a table talking. A few smoking. They appeared to be soldiers off duty because they were laced in their uniforms.

She slowly walked over the table with everyone's eyes still on her. Do they notice me?

Historia has hardly ever left the palace let along her room. So the public eye has never seen her face much. But they may have recognized her from photos and newspapers.

There's no way they notice me...

Historia sat at a stool and and looked up at the man behind the counter. She began to feel anxious. Never ever in her life has she ever ordered anything.

"What can I get for you today young lady?" The handsome bartender smiled at her. his eyes were a bright ocean color.

Seeing his warm smile made Historia feel comfortable.

"Could I have a glass of water please?"

"Yes ma'am." The bar tender went to work and Historia still felt eyes behind her.

It began to get really awkward. The only noise you could hear was the bartender moving dishes around.

"Here's your water young lady?"

"Thank you sir!.. what's your name?"

The bartender was taken back by that question and smiled a bit. "I'm Eren."

"Thanks Eren." Historia smiled back at him once again.

She began chugging on her water when she heard someone abruptly stand up and walk over. She nearly chocked on her drink trying to keep herself composed. "Is water all you're going to drink young lady?" One of the Soilders got way too close to Historia for her liking.

"Yes..." Historia answered as she turned away from the man because he reeked of must.

"Do you know this man?" The bare tender asked Historia and she shook her head.

"She's with us, she's just being a little shy."

"Fair enough.." he walked away into the back room.

"How about I buy you a drink eh?" He put his arm around her shoulder and leaned in. He pulled the cloak hoodie from her head. "No thanks... I don't wish for you to buy me anything." Historia tried pulling away when one of the other men approached her and grabbed on to her Waist from behind. "You're a little rude bitch aren't you?"

The second man pulled Historia out of her seat still holding onto her. "Let go!" Historia tried resisting but their grips were tight and they stared pulling her away. "Help-!" Historia yelled out but one of the men put his hand over her mouth. "Open the back." The first man ordered one of them. And they were all on the way to exit with her.

"Ehem!" The bartender cleared his throat loudly and everyone stopped to look at him. "What? you wanna join in on some fun?"

"No, I'm rather uninterested. But it's quite upsetting how all of you are about to leave with your drinks un paid for." Eren looked down at their tickets and back up at them. "It would be unfortunate for y'all to leave me empty handed." He sighed.

One of the men walked up to the bartender and pointed a pistol at him.

Eren didn't look up, He didn't even flinch.

"Do you still want us to pay?" The man cocked the gun and aimed at his head.

There was a long silence.

"Yes actually, did you think my answer was going to change?"

"You bastard.."

The young man took his time and walked around the counter, every footstep was loud and hard. He walked up to the old solider who still had his pistol aimed at him. Eren was not phased. As Eren walked towards him the soldier walked back. "You won't actually shoot me, you've probably never even killed anyone. Most of you soldiers haven't experienced any combat. Y'all are are lazy pigs who think you're privileged because you have a title."

Eren looked to his side distracting the soldier for a split second. Enough to de-arm him and knocked him out. He turned around and aimed his weapons at the other two pigs who were still holding on to poor Historia. One of them pulled out a pistol and aimed at Him.

Eren didn't hesitate to shoot. Right in the head.

Bullseye..

He cracked a smile seeing the terrified look of the third mans face. "Leave her at once, and I will reconsider killing you.

Out of panic the soldier pulled Historia in front of him to protect himself and tried backing out the door behind him but Eren shot right past Historia and the bullet hit the mans head.

Historias eye were wide. She was shaking uncontrollably. She couldn't process almost being abducted and witnessing two murders.

Eren turned around and shot the unconscious man laying on the ground right in the head.

Three murders...

She fell to the ground which was now a pool of blood and started crying.

Eren on the other side of the room started laughing like a mad man. "Magnificent! My aim is as perfect as always!"

Eren started digging through the dead mans pockets and took out a wallet. His eyes widened and he smiled from ear to ear at the amount of cash in it. "How foolish, he has a grand amount of cash in here, if he paid he would've still been alive."

Eren walked over to Historia and bent down beside her. "Why must you cry? Today is a good day. They only bought a few drinks and they paid for the price of a hundred."

The joyful man wiped the tears off Historias eyes. "You aren't happy for me?"

He stood back up after retrieving all three wallets.

Eren started historically laughing. He couldn't contain his laughter. He found this all so funny. "This is hilarious. Isn't it young lady?" He turned back around to Historia and she was passed out on the ground. "Oh?"
