Not The One Who Dies ⇀ Attack on Titan *Original*

Part 21: Run, Boy, Run

Logan sat in the wagon with Historia and Eren, trying to stealthily make their way across Trost as Levi and the others acted as a decoy.

"Will it really work again? With that horse face of his, we look nothing alike." Eren asked as he sat anxiously with Historia who was looking forward.

"It'll be fine, keep your mind off of it," Logan mumbled as he looked to the girl in the wagon, she hadn't been the same since Ymir.

"Historia, you alright?" Logan asked her causing her to seemingly snap out of her trance as she gave him a small nod and a smile.

"Logan... What do we do if they find us?" Eren asked the boy who leaned back in his seat on the bench and took a deep breath. While he had never wanted to cross that line, he knew he would protect his two friends.

"I'll deal with them," Logan said as he ran two fingers over his knuckles, he closed his eyes as he felt his instincts kick in when he felt the wagon stop. His mind seemingly started going wild, his hair on his arms sticking up as his eyes snapped open as a gunshot rang out through the air followed by another.

"Both of you stay down, understood?" Logan asked as he heard people scream in the distance. He shrugged his jacket off to reveal his ODM gear on his waist, he crouched down in the wagon, prepared for the incoming attack.

Logan watched as the cover was ripped from the wagon, revealing the three teens. Logan watched as people began to fly over them. ODM Gear? What the hell?

Logan felt wind fly past him as two darts flew through the air and hit his two friends in the necks, the boy's eyes widened as the two fell unconscious, Eren weakly grasping the boy's hand. The driver tried to get the horses to move faster but he was shot off the wagon as another person flew from the side and kicked the boy from the wagon.

Logan quickly attached his ODM gear to a nearby building as he saw Levi fly overhead. The man seemingly slowed down to check on the boy but Logan shook his head.

"THEY GOT EREN AND HISTORIA! GO!" Logan shouted as Levi nodded and continued to fly as Logan began to fly towards the enemies on the wagon before more ODM wearing people began to fly after him, firing shots at the boy.

Logan felt a sharp pain as a bullet flew through his side with a grunt. Logan flew through the air before using a move that Levi had taught him as he used a building to turn himself around mid-air and face the enemy. With a sickening grunt, Logan's claws shot from his fist as he dove towards the soldiers who were chasing him, swinging his claws with rage as he cut their arms from their bodies causing them to fall to the ground with screams of pain.

Logan quickly flew around the city, seeing Jean and Armin land on the wagon that held a sleeping Eren and Historia. The boy tried to get closer before his line was cut from the building it was gripped on. Logan's eyes widened as his body flew into a building, the back of his head smacking against the brick.

He quickly scrambled his way to behind a stationary wagon, breathing heavily as his wounds began to heal quickly.

"Oi! Come out come out little monster!" A voice shouted from the street as many people ran past the boy. Logan's eyebrows furrowed as he stumbled to his feet, he peeked over the top of the wagon to see a blonde man who looked around Levi's age holding two guns.

Logan walked out from his spot behind the wagon, cautiously eying the pirate, his claws still sticking from his fists. The man's eyes lingered down to them with an almost demented smile before they traveled up his arm to his face.

"Such a disappointment, You would've made a wonderful warrior, one of the best." The man spoke causing Logan to look at him, confusion covering his face.

"Oh, you don't know do you? Interesting that the old man never let you in on the secret hm?" The man said causing Logan's eyes to widen, if he was talking about who he was talking about, how did he know his father?

"What're you talking about!? Are you talking about my father?" Logan asked, His claws beginning to shake with anxiety. The man grinned once again, this time as his own claws rose from his hand.

"Oh, Logan. You have no idea do you?" The man said as he rushed Logan. The boy was stuck staring at the man, both in shock and in horror. He watched in slow motion as the man's claws pushed their way into the boy's chest, straight into his heart.

"Tell your father that I won, I beat the family... I beat you." The man whispered into the boy's ear as he ripped the claws from the boy's chest before the man was stabbed through the chest.

The man turned around, seeing a short man with rage flying through his eyes causing the man to smile before trying to thrust his claws into the man's head. Levi quickly dodged and began fighting the man as Logan took deep, labored breaths. The boy tried to stop the blood coming from his chest with his hands but couldn't, there was far too much damage for him to instantly heal it. The boy stumbled into a wall behind him, trying to get the strength to prevent the man from killing Levi.

Before the boy could reach the two, he was snatched from the ground and carried through the air. He tried to fight back but his body seemingly wasn't on the same page. Even with the boy's fast healing, the man had pierced his heart and that seemingly took longer to heal. The man dropped the boy from the air into the wagon as he landed with a thump. The boy's eyes began to fall heavy as he felt a prick in his neck, a dart flying into his skin as they had to Eren and Historia. The last thing the boy saw was his two friends passed out in the wagon.

-----------------

"Historia! I can't tell you how sorry I am..." An unfamiliar voice spoke out as Logan's eyes fluttered open. The boy looked around weakly as he tried to get his bearings on where he was. The boy quickly spit the gag he had in out of his mouth as his head snapped to the two people on the floor before he spotted Eren in the bed across the room.

"And who in the hell are you?" Logan groaned out as he threw his tied legs over the side of the bed and looked to the man who was pulling away from Historia. The man stood up as he looked at the girl.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing young man, my associate says you're the last standing pillar in one of the strongest families from the old world." The man said as he pulled a knife from his pocket and taunted the boy with it. Eren began to try to talk through his gag to no avail.

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about..." Logan grumbled out before his eyes traveled to the knife in the boy's hand.

"What're you gonna do with that?" Logan asked, his eyes traveling back up the man's body and to the man standing in front of him.

"Did you know that over twenty percent of your body is covered in scar tissue? Burns, cuts, different things covering your skin like armor." The man said causing Logan to lean back as the man held the knife to the boy's throat.

"You plan on adding more?" Logan asked, his voice rough and seemingly tired. He refused to let the man scare him, after everything he had seen within the past twenty-four hours the man was nothing. The man didn't answer, he just plunged the knife into the boy's thigh causing a grunt to escape the boy's throat and his eyes to water at the pain. While he healed, he still felt every bit of the pain.

"Let me ask you something, Your claws. How do you suppose you got them?" The man asked causing Logan to stare into his eyes as he shrugged.

"Father! Please stop this! He hasn't done anything but protect me!" Historia yelled causing the man to pull the knife from his thigh and wipe it on his pants.

"Historia, I understand these are your friends. But there are things you don't know about the monsters they truly are. We need the other one, but this one? This one can rot as far as I'm concerned. I knew his father, he was a coward and a monster. I assume he is the same." The man said as Eren continued to squirm and try to talk through the gag. Two MPs opened the door as they looked to the man.

"Okay, I've gotten what I needed. Take him." The man said causing the MP's to walk into the room and grab the boy by the arms as he struggled away from the soldiers, Logan's eyes snapped to Eren who was looking at the situation with wild eyes.

"I'm gonna be fine! I'll find you! Don't worry about me! Eren I'll come back!" Logan yelled as he was pulled from the room.
