Chapter 21: Darts and Bullets

Start from the beginning
                                    

"It's pointless to resist! Surrender already!" she yelled.

Sweat drops rolled down my forehead. I had one way out of this situation. I could stop struggling and direct my arm holding the knife on my left flank. If I was fast enough, I could avoid the blow and my blade would then hit the wooden floor of the cart. But then I remembered Historia. She was next to me. If I did that, she would end up getting stabbed. I could not let that happen.

The blond woman had had enough. She grunted and pushed harder. My arms started to shake, they could not hold on anymore. The blade sunk into my left shoulder. I screamed because of the pain but I did not let that destabilise me. I head-butted the woman in return. She moved backwards and brought her hand to her bleeding nose. I got on my feet and removed the blade from my shoulder. I let out a small cry and breathed heavily. I was still able to fight.

"I've got to admit, you are one badass bitch." she chuckled while wiping her nose.

I frowned. She pointed her gun at me. I knew a dart would not be coming out of this one. I threw myself onto her and grabbed the barrel in my hands to divert its aim. She pulled the trigger and the bullet hit my left thigh. I let out another scream and my left knee dropped to the floor. It was so damn painful! The blond woman punched me once in the face before I blocked her arms with both my hands.

I ignored the pain and gathered all my strength in my legs. I slowly stood up and started pushing her. My goal was to make her fall off the cart. My opponent looked at me, astonished. She was surprised I kept on resisting this hard despite my injuries.

My bleeding shoulder and leg were terribly painful. My whole body was aching. It was begging me to surrender. I could literally feel my energy escape from me but I had to keep on fighting. We could not lose Historia and Eren. I did not care about me, I had to save my comrades. I loudly grunted, fought her off and made her step back.

Suddenly, I heard a hissing sound. Two red darts landed in my right leg.

Fuck!

But I kept on pushing her away with my arms and continued gaining ground. She looked terrified. I forced her to step back even more. The sedative of the darts started to affect me. I shook my head in resistance and kept on advancing. I could not give up, she was almost at the edge!

I felt an uncomfortable pinching on my neck. My limbs suddenly went numb and I lost all my strength. Against my will, I stepped away from the woman. I touched my neck and removed the foreign object stuck in my skin. I was holding a dart in my hand. I looked at it and instantly fell on my knees. I could not fight anymore. My body was not responding. My vision became blurry and I abruptly fainted.


Levi's POV

I was fighting off and killing Kenny's men. Kenny... What the hell was he doing in the Military Police?!

I was trying to reach Eren and Historia when Y/N appeared and saved me from a man who was about to attack me. She then flew to the cart and took control of the reins. I had to cover her. The other members of our squad arrived on the scene.

"Don't think just act! Go for the kill! We need to protect the cart!" I ordered them.

They were all startled except for Mikasa, who did not hesitate to kill our enemies.

I ended some more men's lives. But more kept on coming. I frowned and looked around, searching for Kenny. Something told me that he could pop up again at any moment.

All of a sudden, I heard a scream. I turned my head and saw a blond woman on top of Y/N, who just got stabbed.

"Y/N!" I yelled.

I was about to reach her when, as I predicted, Kenny got in my way. He bumped into me and pushed me away from the cart.

"Tch!"

"Oi Levi! Are you displaying emotions now? You've gotten soft boy!" he mocked me.

I grunted, furious. I went in to attack him but he dodged and fired another bullet at me. I hid behind a chimney.

"Don't waste my time boy! Don't make me kill you!" Kenny shouted.

I readied my swords but when I got out, he was gone. I did not try to find him, I needed to reach Y/N. I raced to catch up with the cart. I heard a gunshot and another scream from afar. I recognised the voice of the woman I loved. Rage was throbbing through my body. They would pay for hurting her.

I used more gas and I finally caught up with the cart. Y/N was laying next to Eren and Historia. Her eyes were closed, her left shoulder and leg were bleeding. The sight of her being hurt made my blood boil.

"GET THEM NOW!" I yelled at my squad.

I got into a furry and killed all the soldiers I encountered. I needed to get her back. I needed Eren's blood to heal her. They couldn't take her away from me. Not again.

Armin and Jean reached the cart. But they were attacked by more enemies. A woman was about to kill Jean, who was too stunned to move. Thankfully, Armin pulled the trigger first and saved his friend in extremis.

There were too many soldiers for us to fight. The two boys would get killed if they didn't exit the cart. Sasha and Mikasa grabbed Armin and Jean and got them off before they would get shot.

Despite our efforts, we lost Eren, Historia and Y/N. I landed on the ground and breathed heavily. I witnessed, powerless, the woman I loved being taken away from me.

"Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!" I swore.

Mikasa landed next to me, completely distraught.

"EREN!" she screamed.

She tried to pursue them but I stopped her, it was too late.

"Don't do it! Fall back! It's too dangerous!


Y/N's POV

I slowly opened my eyes. I felt groggy and my head hurt a bit. I was seated and tied to a chair in a small room. I coughed a bit and took a good look at my body. My previous wounds had disappeared which meant that my abductors knew about the effects of Eren's blood on me.

I wondered where I was. There was a window in the room. It was nighttime. And from what I could see through the glass, I was in what appeared to be a farm.

I was looking at my feet which were also tied and tried to think of something, anything, to get out of there. But my train of thoughts got interrupted when the door of the room opened and footsteps approached me. I was still looking down.

"Good, you're awake. It's been a long time, kiddo."

I gasped when I heard that familiar voice. The voice of a dead man. I never thought I would hear this tone again. I slowly lifted my head. My eyes widened when I saw who was standing in front of me. I just couldn't believe it.

"Boss?"
