Aurora's POV
One Year Later
After another year of pouring my blood, sweat and tears into training finally it had come to an end, and as thankful as I was knowing I could improve my strengths and ability I was relieved not only for the break, but furthermore it meant
one less year to meet graduation where I could fight for my dream. As excited as I was for completing a new year, there was as one factor that struck me down.
Rico Brzenska. Rico was graduating this year and leaving the training grounds to enter Garrison which I'm sure they'll be more grateful to have a solider like her than Rico needing Garrison.
Sadly not everyone could attention the graduation ceremony of Rico's since majority of my class didn't aquatint themselves with the upper class, but that didn't stop us.
Nanaba, Hanji and myself where all standing in the grounds with the other students, all waiting in anticipation to hear who graduated the top of their class.
"First of your class is Henning!" declared Jack with a voice as strict as a decreed, scrolling through the list of names through his clipboard, while a tall white male had reached Jack's side.
"Number two is Rico Brzenska." Jack hollered his brown eyes remained on the clipboard to proceed with the following students, as the shortest female in our league stood at the front labeled as number two of her class.
That's my best friend!
A smile beams across my lips from excitement, feeling as lifted as a kite knowing all of Rico's hard work had finally been achieved, leaving me to do what I do best.
Screaming.
"YASSSSS THAT'S MY QUEEN!" I screamed from the top of my lungs, laughing in the process from excitement as my palms clapped back and forth like a fan, cheering Rico on to let her know how proud I was.
"Woo-hooo!" praised Nanaba and Hanji together like a harmonica, lips formed into a bright smile of joy while their hands passed a thumbs up of approval.
The moment I heard Rico's number I instantly tuned out the rest of the names, bedazzled how the shortest girl in her entire class managed to graduate number two.......the the names I only heard were listed shortly.
"There Ian Dietrich, fourth Mitabi Jarnach, and five Hannes."
There stood the only female in the top five, short as a shrimp and tiny as a twig with her round glasses stuck on her nose, inspiring me more to grind harder and continue my journey on being a soldier, and hopefully, I'll be something worth wild like Rico Brzenska.
I am so happy for Rico...she' s going to make such a huge change in Garrison.
My smile continues to shine across my lips thinking about Rico's achievements and accomplishments, and the longer I stared at her light blue as cool and icy like a popsicle the more dazed I was becoming to stare at a four foot soldier.
They are a lucky branch to have someone so persistent and hard working.....
Rico will do wonders for the military.......I'm just gonna miss her.
Jack had quickly wrapped up the ceremony quicker than a blink of an eye, only recognizing
strongest from his group of students......the rest would go unnoticed and undetected since in reality, only the top of the class can make a difference in this life.
"RICO, RICO, RICO! Hanji shouted as cute as a little kitten meowing, bolting herself towards Rico as fast as lightening where she found herself on top of her like a flying squirrel.
"Woah!" Rico called from shock swaying back and forth like a swing from the sudden jump, though the amount of time the four of us have spent together we all knew what to expect when greeted. Big hugs and tight ones.
"I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!" Hanji giggled as sweet as a lollipop, squeezing Rico even tighter to look as adorable as a koala on a limb, refusing to release.
"Thanks, Hanji!" replied Rico with a smile as bright as a firefly, noticing her round face started to soften like flour into Hanji's neck only instigating one thought to soar across my head.
I should do the same thing as Hanji!
Once I had reached a good distance between those two, I dive myself right onto Rico's back like jumping into a swimming a pool, latching myself onto her like moss on a tree to finding unsteady within my balance since Nanaba decided to fasten herself from the other side.
Everyone had weakly crumbled to the ground like pulling the bottom row from a pyramid, bodies weakly collapsing to the ground, slamming against the solid dirt, elbows and knees thunking it like a hammer to a nail, only to provided us more of a reason to laugh because it showed everyone how much we loved and cared for one another.
I love my friends!
Pain instantly started to ache all over me like a wildfire consuming a forest, bones spazzed with numbness and tingling continue to spark in me like a firework. We all laid helplessly on the floor like slugs our laughing continuing to escalate feeling my cheeks sizzle with pain like cooking meat on a pan from exhilaration.......and it only seemed to grow once our tongues entered the conversation.
"You guys are trying to kill me before I even start my first day on the job!" Rico playfully teased passing a chuckle to sound like an owl's hoot.
Everyone laughed once more in response, now finding my head to be light and airy as though only oxygen was circulating around my skull.
"Rico you have no idea how proud we are!" I complement, my smile refusing to flatten from all the joy cycling in me being passed through giggles of amusement .
Rico's round face soften in peace as mellow as four, light blue eyes twinkled like marbles while her lips thin as an orange slice rolled into a delightful smile.
"I'm gonna miss you guys!" softly Rico cried sounding like a little chipmunk storing nuts, hearing a muffled sniffle being passed from trying to collect her loose liquid.
Aweee Rico!
Hearing Rico breath her heart warming sentence only melted my spine from bliss, I felt as peaceful and silkily like water ........until I heard a masculine voice dance through his way in.
"What about me Brzenska?" questioned an unfamiliar male voice, though I heard snakiness and attitude spun in his voice. "Your gonna miss me?"
Suddenly Rico sprang up from the ground as quickly and fast like a toad, planting her feet on the ground where I couldn't help but notice a light blush occupying her cheeks to greet the unfamiliar man.
There standing in front of Rico was a tall slender male almost a head taller than Rico, dirty blonde hair reaching his jaw and was parted in the middle to expose his long face full of attitude.
"Shut up Dietrich!" replied Rico with a naughty grin full of mischief across her lips, tucking her arms across her chest while needing to tilt her head back like a bobblehead to see her rival.
The man's grin only increases like a balloon receiving oxygen, thrill was lit up across his face like a lantern and his eyes dazzled with excitement.
"Well don't get to heart broken, Brzenska. I decided to join Garrison after all." he replied as smoothly as hearing wine being poured from the bottle, his gaze refusing to look anywhere else but the four foot soldier.
Rico instantly raised her right brow full of intrigue keeping her stare as focused and aligned like an eagle about to swoop in on it's next meal, though I couldn't help but notice more color started to burn across her cheeks.
"What made you decide Garrison, Ian?" she questioned, taking a few steps forward where her head barely reached his sternum.
Ian's grin transformed into a smirk, copying Rico like a mirror to fold his arms across his chest though he leaned forward allowing their faces about to collide.
"Oh......" he breathed his smirk staining his lips like paint on a canvas. "Just a certain someone that influenced me to join."
Ooooh, is there something going on between them?
Rico's eyes trailed Ian up and down like a menu at a restaurant forming a smile to shine across her lips to shine as brightly as a firefly. "Interesting Dietrich, it's just a shame how hard you have worked, and your still gonna be underneath me since I'm more qualified for the leader position."
Ian's long face pumped and fused with excitement like a water balloon his lips, lifting every single muscle on his face from entertainment, while his lips only continued to smirk from interest.
"I've never had a problem of females leading.....especially someone like you, Brzenska." blew Ian as lowly as blowing out a candle leaving Rico like a leaf in the wind, provoking more color to rise in her cheeks from his sudden comment.......but I was too keen to learn about this Ian fellow.
Once Ian was blown with the wind, I gently use my elbow to nudge Rico against her shoulder to call for her attention, instantly seizing it since if I would have known any better, Rico was just a smidge fried like a chicken.
"Looks like someone is more than friends with Ian Dietrich." I teased her while slipping a a giggle from excitement, knowing well there was a spark lit from their encounter.
Rico's blue eyes cold as ice followed Ian's footsteps like glue, watching him like a picture book as her thoughts ran loose like a horse.
"I wouldn't deny it Sinclair, that Dietrich is one hell of a solider. He never gives up especially on me."
Later that Evening
The remaining of the day the girls and I spent it with each other laughing and talking our heads off I felt like a hot air balloon from all the elevation in me. The stories we told or the teases we passed about the certain men we liked only left us blushing as hot as a cherry, but the best way to end the end was with a tasty hot meal to satisfy our bellies.
The four of us all had entered the dinning room, bellies growing and snarling at me like a wolf from the lack of nutrition, and salivating like dogs to smell the warm moist air of freshly baked bread.
Yummy!
Imagining the white fluffy cloud in the palm of my hands brought me joy, but biting into the bread only encouraged me to advance faster to the line of cadets swarming the counter of food like flies towards garbage, but a certain tall blonde had swayed his way in as gracefully as cutting into a tango.
"Mike!" squeaked Nanaba as cute as a little door mouse, instantly attaching herself around his arm like moss on a tree, nuzzling her face into his bicep like a pillow to express her love. "I've missed you so much!"
Mike's lips as flat as a ruler warmed into a tiny smile full of delight looking as radiant as the sunrise, gently pulling Nanaba closer where he could embrace her side like a jacket.
"Make it up to me with dinner?" Mike proposed with a stunning smile across his lips making his long face even more handsome to stare at.
Nanaba had removed her head from Mike's bicep, tilting her head backwards to gaze upon the friendly giant instantly mirroring the same luminous smile of his.
"Thought you never asked Sniffer!" she giggled as sweet as a licorice, once more nuzzling her tiny face into Mike's bicep as thick as a rock, dispersing from the girls to enjoy some alone time with food and a lively conversation.
My eyes remained sealed onto the two blondes slowly disappearing from me like a shadow meeting sunlight. Mike as tall as a tree and build like a rock lead the way with Nanaba on his arm. She was slender as a twig, but lean and fit like a slab of meat not a single ounce of fat on her, she hung herself onto Mike's forearm like a monkey on tree limbs melting a smile across my lips to see how two blondes bring out in each other
Aweee they are so cute!
Once the two love birds had flown from their coupe, the remaining of us decided to attend to our growling bellies are fearsome as an ogre. We had piled our plates with as much food as possible transferring to a empty table with our mouths occupied either with our tongue,
or some steamy hot object softening from our saliva to turn into mush.
Hanji and I decided to enjoy the rest of the evening by teasing Rico about the boy named Ian since he was spotted sitting with some other fellow soldiers we knew of which Rico turned the tables talking about Erwin making me hotter than a chili pepper, but during our conversation the more red I got and the thirsty I became, not fully noticing that a pretty brown hair girl with skin as smooth as milk chocolate had slipped something in my drink to instantly dissolved into my water, tasting odorless as though it was just water.
I had chugged down my water within a few gulps, feeling more refreshed and eased from the fluid energizing any lost water sweated out though oddly enough the moment the last droplet drizzled down my esophagus I was feeling ease.
My brain felt as light and lifted as though it had wings from elevation, all my senses and awareness felt as though I was surrounded by clouds from ease in my bloodstream, not to mention I couldn't stop giggling from how relaxed I felt because I had the confidence and assurance I could walk on water how relaxed I felt.
I feel amazing!
The more I giggled uncontrollably the more Hanji and Rico made silly faces at me like a clown, asking me ridiculous questions such as.
"Aurora, are you okay?"
"What's wrong?"
I couldn't answer any of those questions since they didn't make any sense and sounded as muffled as trying to talk into a pillow, but more importantly something else caught my attention. Someone as tasty and scrumptious like a tart entered our conversation where all I wanted to do was eat him up since his age was attractive so was his body.
"Jack!" I giggled from bliss, immediately planting my feet onto the ground to greet the sexy devil, but my head was filled with air forgetting how to stand causing me to loose and collapse on top of him like slime.
Jack instantly thrusted his arms at my hips preventing my fall where he lifted me back up on my feet causing my breast to sink into his chest where pleasure bloomed in my blood stream from his flesh, I couldn't keep quiet from how good I felt.
"Aaahh." I lowly moaned from delight, looking straight at his eyes the color of bark finding more ease to soften me up to stare at his long face. "That feels so good."
Jack in response curled his lips into a broad smirk, feeling my body transition towards his side, using one of my arms to ring me around like a rope supporting my hip with one arm holding me up as though I've broken a leg.
"Don't worry about Aurora, girls. I'll make sure and bring her back to her cabin where she is safe."
Erwin's POV
I was sitting a few tables down from Aurora,
accompanied by Nile, Thomas, and Moblit while a plate full of food sat in front of me. Surprisingly Mobilt had held the whole conversation between us three, but what was even more jaw dropping was Thomas getting engaged and participating in the conversation.
First Moblit asked everyone if we liked to read was I was rather fascinated to hear everyone's genre........and that's when I wanted to rip my brain from my skull.
Moblit especially Thomas adored romance stories, gushing their hearts out how significance love stories are, and how powerful love can conquer all, even Nile was most intrigued with the conversation because anything mentioning females he was automatically attracted.
I wish Mike was with me, from everyone I know I would consider him my closest male friend because our interest in life are similar. Activities, achievements, competitions and strategy we both love to explore, though he was with Nanaba and I have to respect this new relationship and understand he's also a boyfriend.
There is only so much a male can entertain each other......it's the females who trump up us all since they have that precious flower to leave us breathless.
Instead of drowning in boredom there was one factor that could prevent me from falling asleep was really pretty blonde sitting a few row's down who caught my attention like a fly to a bright light.
There sat Aurora, directly facing me with a few other faces in the way, pretty round face like an angel, dazzling green eyes the color of an emerald and a smile as luminous as an evening star she took my breath away from her beauty......and her laugh full of sweetness and love I was finding myself lost in a daze to stare at her beauty.
It's been so long since Aurora and I have seen each other.
I'm focused on perfecting my strength and abilities, while she is always spending it with her friends.
Aurora continued to giggle as adorable as hearing a little pink oinking, lifting her pink fluffy lips into a smile to exposing her white teeth full of happiness......I felt my heart skip a beat from her radiance.
I have to admit........I do miss her optimistic personality and that million dollar smile.....
I wanna she her again, I'll invite her for a walk after dinner because I know how much we both enjoy our company and we love the nature around us.
A smile forms across my lips staring at the beauty a few tables down allowing my past to swirl along my gaze, remembering as children all the late night star gazing or morning walks just the two of us alone.........until I heard a dreadful cry being released sounding as disturbing as hearing shoes squeak on a freshly mopped tile.
"My favorite part of the book, is when the prince finally confesses his love for the princess." weakly cried Nile as fragile as a new born.. "It's just after all this time, they've been friends and.... and." Nile pauses using his wrist to cleanse his eyes like a washcloth. "They finally end up marrying...and not to mention how romantic it is when he saves her from the dragon!" he finalized burying his head into his palms hearing more sobs escape his lips.
Both Moblit and Thomas agreed, nodding their heads up and down like a duck, though I noticed a tall slim devil had met Aurora and was even more jaw dropping to see her curvy body fall right on top him like a blanket acting as though it was no big deal........and I sensed she liked it from the redness filling in her face?!
Strange why is Aurora so calm with Jack?
The more I witness Aurora and Jack's conversation the more uncomfortable I felt about it, her body so deeply laid on top of him like a sheet I wished it was me she was pinning herself on, but what made me swallow my tongue was to see Jack control Aurora like his own doll attaching her to his side like she was injured, dragging her out the door with a smug smirk pinned on his lips like needles jabbed in his cheeks.
No, no, this can't be good.
Watching those two exit from the dinner hall outside, I felt my heart nearly stop from stun, pumping my adrenaline and firing my strength to advance towards the two of them without any thought but to protect Aurora.
I have to make sure she is alright!
I was so determined to follow Jack and Aurora, I blew past everyone not even telling my friends where I was heading since I had intentions to find out what was going on with the pretty blonde.....until I felt a firm grasp clutch my elbow like handcuffs permitting me to venture out.
Hmm?
Taken by surprise form the sudden grip, I look over my shoulder to see a pretty brunette who I once fell head over heels from her beauty, to be wearing a face full of glum and worry as though death had entered the room.
"Erwin listen to me." called Marie in a hushed voice as low as a mouse. "I made a huge mistake and you have to help me fix it." she helplessly cried still feeling her arm around my elbow.
Marie Church.......using me only for sex.
From her sudden arrival I felt bitterness developed on my tongue feeling as though I ate a rotten egg, yanking my arm away from her touch since resentment iced my heart and closed all my reason to negotiate with a snake like her.
"Give me one good reason why should I help a woman who was more interested in my cock, than cared about me."
Marie's round instantly swelled with guilt looking as puffed as a fish from my words, cheeks redden from embarrassment, eyes soften from shame though her tongue managed to change my perspective.
"Because it's about Aurora, and if we don't stop Rafael this very moment, you can say goodbye to her virginity." she admitted with a voice as shattered and broken like glass, I sensed remorse in her veins opening my ears to listen more.
How is this possible that Marie knows what's about to happen? Is she playing some sort of game to make me feel even more foolish than before.
The more I analyzed this situation the more unsure I was becoming, but I would be lying to myself that hearing those last few words rolled off Marie's tongue like a candy wrapper left me heated and stiffen since it was two factors I wanted into one sentence.
Aurora and her flower.
Marie hastily opened the back door leading outside, while her face squirmed like a worm in between a birds beak from impatience looking as agitated as though spiders where crawling up her skin.
"Ughh! Your useless Smith!" Marie spat with anger dripped in her tone like gasoline to a fire, rushing out the door to follow Jack. "No wonder she gonna get fucked because your so slow at making decisions!"
Hold on a second.......Marie might be telling the truth, because it was unnatural for Aurora to behave so friendly to Jack.......worst of all she didn't even fight with him to go.
There is something more to this story, and I think I know what Marie did.
After piecing together this whole issue I felt as relieved as though I've finished a puzzle inserting the last piece into the picture, quickly rushing out the door to following Marie, but of course I needed questions to be answered.
"Marie did you drug Aurora?" I mentioned, finding my heart rate to be out of the ordinary started to spazz in my chest from the extension of my legs trying to sprint.
"How." she paused started to wheeze as weakly as hearing a harmonica being blown. "Did......you.......know." she gasped weakly for air, only instigating me to run faster to save Aurora.
There could be a dozens different reasons as to why she drugged Aurora.
Jealously, bargain or even pure evil......
But I could care less about Marie, Aurora needs help and I'm the only one who can protect her.
The moment I received my answer, hearing the confirmation of my assumption energized my blood to charge at speed needing no further analysis only the one thought.
I have to save Aurora!
Promptly I had reached the end of the cabin turning a sharp corner to see the unthinkable and the most sickening image I could ever witness.
Aurora was pinned up against the wall like a sandwich, Jack hovered over her like sort of frisbee noticing Aurora's blouse was fully unbuttoned to fully expose her large breast cupped in a bra the size of a cantaloupe with his dirty hands groping and squeezing each tissue while his face was stuck on her neck like glue.
"Erwin......ahhhh." she softly moaned in delight sounding as soothing as a harp from her moans, I found myself struck to see her this helpless........and was it wrong I wanted to be Jack?
Erwin focus!
I want to teach this pedophile a lesson, but beating him up won't solve anything pain isn't Jack's game, it's psychological trauma he needs.
Fused with strength to fight for the pretty blonde, I hastily charge forward reaching Jack where without any hesitation I thrusted my arms to grasp each of his shoulder blades, roughly yanking him off from Aurora to slam his body against the wood, pinning him down to the wall like a mutt.
"Ooohx, Erwin." Aurora breathed breathlessly like blowing out a candle, weakly collapsing on the ground from exhaustion as helpless as a dead left shedding from a branch. "Why did you stop.......it felt so good."
What would I give to hear Aurora say those words to me.....
Hearing her soft call as helpless as a doe dance through my ear only struck me down harder, tightening my grip against his shoulder blades to feel his skin dig in between my fingers while nailing his body deeper into the wood to serve justice for Aurora.
"Erwin!" Jack gasped in mercy sounding as weak as hearing a roach being smushed from the bottom of your shoes. "Let's not be hastily, and share her instead!" he prospered gasping in between breaths since the more I heard his voice lowered my strength from the wickedness in his blood. "You can even be the one to fuck her, and I'll watch!"
Pathetic.
A real man would do anything possible to protect the ones he loves, not weasel his way out and make a bargain.
I continued to shove his body against the wood feeling my fist grown numb from the tightness of my fist, seeing his long face splattered against the wall along with his body looking as weak as a crushed grape. It was satisfaction having to physical torment him, but verbally was more rewarding since I could scar him.
"Your foolish to think Aurora is worthy of shared." I begun now feeling his bone graze my fingernails from the debt of my grip in his flesh. "But I should have known you would resort into such matters because your a coward and no man I known takes pleasure in a woman who can't even stand on her own two feet!"
Jack remained in silence, while I continued to pin him down like a nail refusing to remove any of my grip until I've gained my reward for saving Aurora.
"When you have lived as long as me through this sickening world you'll understand why I narrowed my options," Jack stated with a bold voice as mighty as a lion, no hesitation nor remorse from his actions only stirring my pot even thicker since I wasn't break him.
That is a mere excuse.
Our actions are defined by our choices, and we are fully capable to control our emotions and thoughts.
This world may be difficult, but it doesn't turn us into deranged men who are attracted to minors.
"The only sick thing I know is you. A man with so much power abuses it to intoxicate a minor in hopes to feel something soft" I blurted forcing Jack from the wood to turn his body in full motion like a revolver, where I was able to glimpse at his long face full of fear, jamming him against the wall like a ram where my hands clutched his collarbone.
Jack's lower lip trembled in nervousness, brown eyes surged as large as a golf ball from stun and the most rewarding image was to see cold sweat drizzle down the side of his forehead from fear, granting me instant satisfaction to see him as the coward I've viewed him as.
Justice is the sweetest reward.
"If you don't' leave this scene, I"ll report this incident and make you never forget you almost tried and raped a minor." I began carelessly throwing his body onto the ground like a punching bag where his back continued to be pinned. "I'll make you wish death is a more pleasant friend than having the title of predator constantly labeled, and you'll live everyday in misery with the mistake you carelessly made because of lust."
Jack remained in utter silence looking as stupefied as though he had swallowed his tongue, only stroking my pride even more to see the snake he was weakly lying on the floor as I towered over him like a champion.
"One day you'll understand where I'm coming from......hell if I wouldn't have known any better your just like me Erwin. Stubborn, ambitious, strong and most of all dominant." he sneered with a broad grin as wide as a watermelon slice.
"Your just like every other male and one day you'll be corrupted from power.......but I'll let life throw its rocks at you and I'll see how valiant the man you've become." he ended not once breaking eye contact only to pick himself up from the ground, leaving this incident as fast as the nights winds.
Strangely after hearing his last breath, Jack left me somewhat mind blown feeling like a grenade had just gone off because the traits he listed where ones that represented me........and Jack too........but I didn't have time to analyze the similarity since I heard a shout.
"Erwin!" shouted Marie sounding as traumatized as though she witness eye sockets on a corpse without any eyes in it. "Aurora isn't breathing!"
Quickly I snap out from my thoughts like popping a bubble, rushing over towards the pretty blonde and Marie immediately trying to figure out how to solve this issue.
Just in case I can't feel her pulse I need assistance.
"Marie I want you to go get Mike, and Nile." I commanded. directly staring at her green eyes the color and shape of a cat remembering why she was so pretty. "Explain to them Aurora needs help getting into the infirmary."
Marie nodded her head like a bobble head understanding her task, right away hoping to the job as fast as a rabbit escaping a fox.
Once I had Marie gone and listened to my order it was just me and sleeping beauty all alone.
I lower my gaze to see Aurora helplessly lying on the ground. Eyelids blinding her vision, her blonde locks elegantly flowed down her body like a waterfall and some sprawled out on the dirt, but the most stunning image was to see her chest full exposed......
There rested a pink bra the color of a peony grasped against her chest to cup two juicy breast as large as a cantaloupes resting beneath her collarbone.......even the bra was getting lost from her roundness to see mostly white skin perked up from her fullness only distributing heat and other emotions to fire up my feelings.
I felt the temperate in the room increase from heat swarming my bloodstream and it only continued the longer I stared at sleeping beauty. Blonde hair the color of sunshine flowed effortlessly down her head like drapes, gazing down at full light pink like a rose.......I just wanted to kiss her.
She's so beautiful.....
I focus my stare towards her lips thinking of two things crossing my mind like a shooting star. One I was thinking how ironic it is all their fairy tale stories I hashed suddenly I'm in the position of one, and secondly desperately wanting to dive in for a kiss.
I transition my hands to cup her jaw, directing my gaze to be lined with her lips as I slowly begin to lean myself forward until I heard the pretty blonde voice echo through my ears.
"Erwin.........kiss me more." Aurora breathed as beautiful as a harp, having her eyelids remained closed like a lid hearing normal breaths being passed to indicate a normal heart rate........but that wasn't stopping me, it was the thought.
Did Aurora think she was kissing me the whole time?
