THE ONLY EXCEPTION
ACT ONE
( season 1 )•••
"That's it? That's all I have to do?" She asked. "Protect the boy?"
"If he survives, you'll finally get what you've always wanted."
The eery silence of the room ringed in her ears. Quiet but booming. The heavy tension of her decision falling on her shoulders. From the other side of the room, a clocked ticked, chiming with a faint click. She was hesitant, though, she didn't show it. What gave her away was a clench of her jaw, subtle but there.
She crossed her leg over the other, laying her hands on her lap, and hating the confined space of an office. A desk in front of her, the man waiting as he sat from the other side. Soft breeze came from the open window. Through there, she saw a glint from the sky. Moon and stars, blanketing the surface above, painting it to be night. It was a lovely evening.
Jail. She was surprised she hadn't ended up there that the thought almost had her laughed.
"I want a lot of things in life, blondie. What makes you think you have what I need?"
"That's for you to find out."
"How lovely." Sarcasm dripped off her tongue as she didn't bother to hide her distaste.
"There's no use in declining."
The teacup in her hand was nearly finished, only a few droplets of burning liquid of tea left inside its contents as she settled it down on the small plate on the table. "Doesn't mean I'm accepting."
"Protect Eren Jaeger and you'll have your freedom."
