-Kara-
"HAHAHAHAHA-HAHAHAHAHAHA" I laugh hysterically as I raise Frieda's heart over my head
I've gone and done it..
Every last one of them..
Is dead…
They must've done something so dreadful, so horrendous, to drive me to do something so.. cynical…
I mean why else would I ever go through with it?
There wasn't any other way
It had to be done…
Right?
…
-present-
Pov.
-Kara-
Sasha Braus…
"Shit" I sigh
I drop her document on the desk and I sit back
I was supposed to be reviewing her document cause she acts nothing like the locals in the area she supposedly grew up in
But man…
I've been so out of it this week
It's been about three days since they left
They should be on their way back to Ehrmich District by now
…
It's so… quiet
Why is it so… quiet?
Not having anything to do has given me a lot of time to think..
About back then…
I was blowing smoke rings into the ceiling fan when the door suddenly opened
"Goodness gracious" Krista gasps
Goodness… what?
Did she really just say that?
"Come get some fresh air you must be dying in here" she picks up the ashtray
…
I follow her out back where she tossed the ash into the garbage bin
After she hosed down the tray she was about to head back inside
I wrap my arms around her waist and I drag her over to the grass
"Wuaaa?!" She gasps as I pull her down with me
"Where are the girls at?"
"Annie went to see if they're done with her room. And Ymir ran off after I asked her to help me with the dishes"
"Huh… is that right?"
"Yeah…" she sighs
"Guess that means we got the house to ourselves"
"Oh… y-yeah, guess it does" she blushes
…
-3 days later-
"Cmonnn, why not?" I peck at her neck
"B-because I said so" she pulls the blanket over her head
"You're just being a scaredy cat" I grab her hips and I thrust my hips into her ass, jerking my cock in between her thighs
"I am not a fraidy cat, you are!" She pouts before I finally bust all over her chest
"Ugh" I groan "you're so annoying"
She's too much of a chicken to actually do it
I pull the blanket aside as she slowly sits up
"You told… Annie we were trying to…"
Her legs were still trembling and her face had gotten beat red
"Oh…" I sigh
"I was just… all I said was that we were 'brainstorming' baby names, or whatever. I said you thought Marley was a good one, but you know… I just wanted to get a reaction out of her"
"Oh.. b-but… is that why you wanna…"
"Wh-what? Look, I just wanted to get a reaction out of her…"
"Oh… so you don't want to.. you know, one day maybe… have kids?"
"That's not what I said…"
"Oh.. okay…"
…
"I-I'm going to shower" she breaks the silence
She carefully gets out of bed and tip-toes to the bathroom
I lay back for a couple of minutes before deciding to go out for a bit
All I've been doing is practicing my hardening and trying to figure out who our enemies might be in the 104th
I brought home a 24 pack of beer, a few bottles of whiskey, and a box of Sweet Janes
I was putting everything in its place before heading back upstairs to see if Krista was still in the bath
I open the door where I found her sitting on the bed in a bathrobe, fidgeting with her fingernails
"I… I told you I'm not scared, okay? You just… you have to be very careful!"
I set my cigar down on the counter
"You serious?" I join her at the foot of the bed
She nods before crawling over to me
I toss my shirt aside as she carefully pulled my joggers down
After licking and slobbering all over my magic stick she turns around
"Careful, o-okay?"
"Y-yeah, yeah I know" I nod
She hides her face in the pillow
Using my tail I lead myself to her pussy as I spread her ass as much as I could
"It's still gonna hurt, okay?"
She nods
"Alright" I take a deep breath
…
-the following day-
What if I do die just like everyone else
Annie's words reminded me just how much Krista meant to me
I sit up
Krista was curled up inside the blanket
Maybe I should leave something behind before it's too late
Would that give my death any meaning?
But…
I mean…
I've really only known her for a couple of years and the most I've seen of her was on that ship..
So… why?
Why do I feel like she means the world to me?
"Ready?" She asks
I nod
She turns the shower off and we hop out
After we get changed she picks up the blood stained sheets
"We should buy red sheets, I don't want to keep throwing these out." She says as she dumps the sheets into the garbage bin
"It was your first time" I light up a cigar at the kitchen table
"Yeah, but what if it happens again?"
"Again?" I ask as she joins me at the table
"W-well.. yeah, I mean… s-sorry I thought…"
"Hehehe," I giggle "c'mere" I pull her head in
"H-hey, that isn't funny" she pouts
"C'mon, they should be back soon"
…
We found a restaurant and sat at a dining table just outside that gave us a perfect view of the gates
"Wh-what do you mean?" She asks
"Look, Krista I… I just want you to stay at home, alright? You're not.. you weren't meant to be fighting… titans, you know? That isn't for you"
"B-but I trained. I… I'm ready. It's why I was gone all those years, so I could train a-and be at your side if you ever need me"
"I'm fine Krista, really. Especially now with…" I look around "you know, Frieda's power" I whisper
"Oh… yeah b-but"
Before she'd say another word the bells began ringing letting the Military Police at the bottom know to open the gates
By the time we paid our bill they were passing right by our table
I look around for Levi
I spot Petra's dad hovering over him
"I'll be back" I tell Krista
"Okay" she nods
I push through the crowd until I reached Levi
"How'd everything go?"
…
He doesn't respond
"Where's everyone?" I look around for the rest of my squad "they stay in Trost, or what?"
He doesn't answer
I wave Krista over and we follow them to camp
"What's up with Levi?" I ask Isabel who had her arm wrapped in a bandage
"He didn't… he didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" I look around
Where's the rest of our squad?
Eld, Oluo, Petra… Gunther
I finally find the commander by the time we reached camp
"We have to gather everything and head to Stohess immediately" Erwin tells Hanges squad
"Erwin! What the hell happened out there?!" I shout from across the room
"It wasn't his fault Kara!" Armin steps up before I could confront him
"What are you talking about?!"
"The female Titan ambushed us… on our way back. She tried kidnapping Eren."
"What? Erwin said…"
I watch as he heads into the next room
Erwin said there's no chance of an attack if I stayed here in the capital
I push Armin aside
"Kara don't!"
"Erwin!" I follow after him
"What the hell, man?! You said there was no chance of an attack!"
"There was no reason for them to attack us. We thought they had no use for Eren, until the other day"
"Then what the fuck is this shit?! Where's my squad?! Tell me what the hell happened?!"
"I'm not sure"
"The important thing is that they didn't get Eren" Mikasa says
"None of them died in vain, Kara" Armin adds
…
No…
What the hell are they talking about?
There's no way they're all just…
"Petra… Gunther… Eld… Oluo" I hear Eren behind me "th-these brave five died on my behalf… It was my fault, Kara. I couldn't… I couldn't protect them!" Eren sobs
I turn around
He had his forehead to the ground begging for forgiveness
Eren…
"Get up before I kill you, boy" I whisper
Where the hell was he when everyone was slaughtered?
"I said…" I raise my foot read to stomp on his head
"Stop!" Armin pulls Eren back "Open your eyes, stop getting blinded by your emotions for once, Kara!"
"Everyone is dead, why's it even matter?"
"We know who the traitors are!" he shouts
"You what?"
Armin looks around making sure no one heard before coming inside
"It's… Annie" he whispers
"Wh-what are you talking about… Armin?"
"May I ask why that is?" Erwin asks
"It's a hunch sir" Armin says
"A hunch?!" I growl
"I-I mean it makes sense. She had to be the one that killed Hange's titans. I mean sh-she had Marco's three-dimensional gear."
"How do you know it was his?" Erwin asks
"Cause it was, I know it was. I used to help Marco fix every little thing… he liked keeping it spotless without even a scratch if he could." Armin says "but besides that she reacted to the name our close friend group knew Eren by in the 104th. Plus… Eren faught her. He can tell you."
"Well… Kinda I'm not too sure but the female Titan did resemble Annie's fighting style.. a lot, actually…" he says
"Very well, we'll have an ambush ready for tomorrow" Erwin says
Annie… what?
No way…
I let her into my home
Near my woman..
I convinced myself she…
"She was stationed in Stohess yesterday after she called in sick for four days"
Called in sick?
Guess that was a lie too, wasn't it?
"Annie has two shifts. The first is from 5-11am. The second one is a little shorter from 4-6pm" Armin says
…
"You got it, Kara?" Erwin ask after we reviewed our plan of attack
"Yeah" I lie
"Alright we'll go over it once more once we get to Stohess"
…
"Wh-what is it ?" Krista asks
"C'mon" I pull her away
We go back home where we gathered our things before heading for Stohess on Odin
"You okay ?" She asks
"I'm fine, why?"
"I don't know… you just seem kinda… off"
"I'm fine" I smile
"Okay" she sighs
I found us a place to stay for a couple nights
After we got those red sheets she kept nagging me about we had a couple drinks before getting in bed
"I… I love you so much, Kara" Krista huffs in my arms
"I… I'm almost.." I dig my head into her chest as I buried myself deep inside her
"Ahh?!" She gasps as I relieve my pent up stress and.. and sadness into her womb
"Oh… God, Kara…" she quivers
I lay her back as I carefully pulled myself out
"Inside?" She asks
…
I lay back
After a couple seconds she sits up
She crawls over to me and wraps her arms around my waist
"It's… it's okay to be scared, Kara. It's okay to be sad, to… to grieve" she whispers as I brush my fingers through her hair
…
"Good night, Krista"
…
"G'night… Kara" she sighs
-morning-
I sit up after I had the same dream again
Sometimes I wish they'd go back to being tortured by… him…
I look over at the clock
It's just about 5am
I slept too long
I carefully move Krista aside
I put on black joggers and my Survey Corp cloak
I jump downstairs where I grab my katana just as the bedroom door creeps open
"Mikasa told me what happened…" Krista peeks through the little crack
"Go to sleep" I head into the kitchen for a cigar
"Was it really… Annie?"
…
"F-fine, just… be careful"
I stop at the door
"Yeah…" I sigh
I made my way to Annie's ground
Sure enough she was patrolling this entire block
All I had to do was wait for her to walk by the underground tunnels entrance
I flick my cigar aside
And from there…
I jump off the ledge
I swing across the street before slamming my feet on her back knocking her inside
"Agh wh-what the?!" she gasps
…
I tilt my head
"Nghk" she crawls away "K-Kara ? Wh-what are you doing here?" She asks just before I slit her throat
"Agh?!" She coughs and gasps for air
"Who said you can speak?" I smash my foot into her gut
"Nghh" she folds from the pain "wh-wha.." before she said another word I slam my knee into her face
I smile widely
"Transform, I dare you"
"H-how'd you…" she mumbles as her throat finally healed
But just then I slit her throat again
"Agh?!" She gasps as I pin her wrists onto the ground
"What is it Annie? Scared?" I watch as she wastes all her strength on closing the wound at her throat
"A-agh sh-shtop it p-please do-" she tries wiggling free
I crouch down
I draw my Katana as she tries crawling away
I grab her ankle and I drag her back
"Agh, stop it!" She gasps
I press the tip of my katana where her right kidney should be
"Tell me Annie." I force my katana through her stomach and into the ground. "How exactly did you kill Petra, huh?"
"Ahh?!" She gasps "y-your crazy, s-stop it!" she grabs the katanas blade trying to free herself as I dug it deeper and deeper
"Tell me what about Eld, huh?" I grab her throat
"Mgh!" She looks me in the eye
And I could see it
What she fears most
Yes of course..
I'm going to rip this pride of hers apart
"I'm about to put you through worlds of pain, An-nie…" I whisper in her ear as I spread her legs apart
"I-I can't.. why can't I…" she groans painfully as I rip her clothes aside
"G-gguh sh-shtop it!" she chokes as I shove two finger into her mouth and I grab her jaw
Petra…Gunther… Eld… Oluo
I giggle
"God, I'm going to enjoy tearing you to pieces"
