Attack on One-Shots

The Point of No Return (Part 3) - Apocalypse!AU - Armin x Reader

(F/N) gave his hand one last squeeze before leaning over and pressing a small kiss to his forehead and standing up, pulling him with her as he slung his backpack onto his shoulders.

Her eyes swept across the room, doing one last check before she nodded and almost instantly they were rushing behind each other to scramble up the ladder and into the living room.

Reiner tossed a backpack to Bertholdt, who caught it effortlessly and slipped it on his back. With guns and knives in hands, the group cautiously stepped outside, listening for any indication that stiffs were near.

"Which way?" Sasha asked. Her hands trembled as she cast wary glances towards the seemingly peaceful forest.

Her question was answered not with words, but with the sudden appearance of the first wave of stiffs, an approximate number of seven emerging from the woods making gurgling sounds and dragging their feet.

"Not straight," Mikasa muttered, tugging on her arm to lead the group quickly around the house where a path lay within the trees. "I used this trail during a perimeter check once. It leads straight through the forest and to the highway. We should be able to find a few working vehicles and maneuver our way out of the area; perhaps to a bigger city where we'll have more luck finding supplies and a safe place to stop for a few nights until we can get a specific destination in mind."

Eren nodded beside her, the wheels turning in his head. "That's not a bad idea. We'll have to be careful on the highway though; we'll be completely exposed out there and who knows what we might come across."

(F/N) looked over shoulder, the knot in her stomach tightening as she saw more stiffs materializing and coming around the corner.

"Sounds great," she spoke, pushing on Eren's back with her free hand and tightening her grip around Armin's with her other. "Now move it!"

No time was wasted as they took off into the forest, trying their best to keep together and on the dirt path.

No more than five minutes later did Sasha scream as stiffs came onto the path, surrounding her, Connie and Mikasa.

(F/N) dropped Armin's hand as she shifted around on her heel, her pistol in hand and eyes narrowed.

"Connie, move!" She yelled, pulling the trigger and shooting down a single stiff that was in his way. The bald man didn't need to be told twice as he jumped over the fallen body and ran past her to catch up with Jean and the others.

Mikasa gasped as a stiff closed in on her, swiping at it with her knife and tripping over the previously shot stiff and falling on her back.

"Shit," she growled as she tried to keep the stiffs jaws away from her with her arm.

A gunshot rang out from beside (F/N), and she looked over with wide eyes as Reiner killed the stiff that had fallen on her. She grit her teeth at the fact that he of all people had to help her, but pushed the annoyed feeling aside temporarily and focused on taking down two more of the stiffs before rushing forward and jerking Mikasa up off of the ground and shoving her towards Reiner as he moved forward to lodge his knife into the back of a stiffs head that had taken a liking to Sasha.

The girl herself shrieked as blood splattered across her face and clothes, pushing the slumped body away from her and scurrying to the side as (F/N) bashed the butt of her gun into another's head.

"Are you bit?" She asked her as she clung to her arm like a life line. She shook her head, still shaken up from the bloody shower she had received. "Then fucking go!"

She nodded meekly and darted down the path, (F/N) hot on her heels. She paused beside Reiner as he reloaded his gun.

"Thanks for the help," she said, awkwardly patting his shoulder before clearing her throat and continuing on her way.
