Pick a side {Chapter #8}

Start from the beginning
                                        

Her face twisted into a scowl; staring at me like she never knew me, like I was one of them.

What did I do?

My head snapped back at the man who stood before us, his hand raised and his ears covered.

My eyes widened and my pupils shrunk as his hand flew forwards, signaling the canons to fire,

I felt something wrap around my waist as I got pulled towards the left, Mikasa and Armin dragged along with me;

"Ere-!!?"

Before I could finish my sentence he bit his thumb.

BANG

I felt a rush of heat and steam hit my skin as my body flung sideways, crashing onto the hard dirt floor.

Darkness

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

I rubbed my eyes in an effort to look at my surroundings

Mikasa and Armin sat by my side; their orbs huge with shock and disbelieve

I directed my head towards whatever they where looking at,

My dry lips parted to speak, but no words came out.

We where sitting inside the rib-cage of some monstrous thing; only half formed from the waist up, skin and muscle clung to the bones like fabric.

"Eren...?" I whispered; barely audible

"Did you do this...?"

Smoke covered our vision; blocking out our view of the threat behind it, but also allowing us to be hidden.

I could hear the muffled cries of the terrified souls beyond the steam,

"Mira... Armin...Mikasa...? Are... are you guys ok?"

I whipped my head around to see Eren, is eyes filled with anger and worry

"Um..." I mumbled, cocking my head to the side, allowing flickers of my brown locks to gently travle over my eyes; "Besides sitting in the middle of some thing's rib-cage and people trying to kill us, yes I'm fine."

I crossed my legs and let out a shaky sigh, a weak smile spread across my face as my eyes teared up a bit.

Why am I crying?

I don't really know

Maybe it's because I need some sort of exit; and exit from all this shit piled up on my shoulders

My mind snapped back as Eren gently placed is hand on my shoulder, letting a warm wave of reassurance to travel through my body.

"I don't really know what to do now, but we need to think of some sort of plan."

My blurry gaze landed on the blond that was speaking, his eyes reflected determination; but also doubt

"Armin" Mikasa said, her voice flat and emotionless

"What ever you have in that complex brain of yours use it."

Armin shuffled his feet around, droplets of sweat started forming on his forehead, yellow tresses covering them. "I'm... I'm not sure it would work..."

I placed Eren's hand onto the floor beside me and walked calmly towards the flustered boy

"Armin. Please."

I looked him deep in the eyes; dark blue contrasting with light.

"Our life's are depending on you, and the smoke is clearing, which means we're running out of time... Whatever you have in mind... Say it. Whatever the outcome, we will believe in you."

I felt his shoulders relax at the words spoken, he nodded briefly before turning on his heal and running towards the clearing, dust kicking up behind him.

Lets just hope whatever the choice you make is a good one

Armin ran towards the front of the steam barrier, is fist held strongly over his heart as he looked at the man with passionate eyes.

"Sir please hear me out!"

The man; still dazed by Eren's transformation lowered his head and cringed,

"What must I hear from a traitor like you!?" He shouted, tears of fear and rage glazed his eyes

"Your on the titans side! I have no right to listen to you!"

"Please sir!" Armin pleaded, his eyebrows furrowed. "I have a plan!"

"The hole in the wall can be plugged if Eren transforms and lifts the bolder! If some members of the Garrisons could assist us then even better!"

The soldiers surrounding us started to loosen up a bit, some even lowering their guns, "Sir?" one of the asked, turning towards the man.

The man lifted his arm so that it was above his head, a smile of fear crept its way across his face,

"PLEASE SIR!" Armin shouted

The only words that came out from the his mouth was;

"Traitors don't deserve to live"

It felt like my life slowed down as I watched his hand start to move forwards; I saw Mikasa move towards me and Eren, her blades where held in a fighting stance.

Like that would help us deflect cannon fire huh?

Maybe I shouldn't of picked this side...

Maybe I should of picked humanity?

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