Chapter 24 - A book

Last time in I was reborn in attack on titan as a bender

"Jack are you still in there" Mikasa's voice brought me back to reality

"You scare me there,I thought you die"She said with with tear getting out of her eye

"What do you mean you thought I die"I asked a bit confused

"Your eyes went white in your body fell to the floor, I don't want to lose you too," she said with tears in her eyes.

I wrap around a scarf around her neck saying" I won't leave you l promise"

I spent the rest of the day comforting here

Now we continue where we left off.

It's been a week in those vision just keep on going,this is not good for my mental health.

"Jack, are you awake" I heard the familiar voice of Mikasa say.

"Yeah, I am," I said tired of all those migraines,

"I thought you were hungry so I try to make you something..."She said in a scared voice.

'I don't like the sound of that'I though.

"Is it done?" I said hoping that what I'm thinking is not true.

"Mikasa why do I smell smoke," I said picking up the scent of something burning.

I got out of my bed in rush outside the room opening the door.

"I try to make you something but it caught on fire," She said with in a teary voice.

I went to the kitchen to see a fire had started in my kitchen," How did you manage to make such a Big fire" I said amazed by the size of the fire

" I wanted the food to finish quickly, so I made more fire," She said looking down

I used my air power to remove the oxygen from the fire in therefore killing it,

"At least you didn't get hurt that's what's important," I said checking her body for scars or burn marks.

"You are not mad at me," She said in a low voice

"Are you going to this again?" I asked

"No," She said looking down

"Then no I'm not mad at you, but if you want to know how to cook, I can help you," I said stretching

"How are you so forgiving," She said in a questioning tone

"You didn't mean do what the point of getting mad at you," I said shrugging my shoulder

The sound of the door of my house being knocked was heard inside the living room.

"Did you invite any friends over?" I ask sarcastically

She looks at me with eyes that are asking me if I'm an idiot.

"Calm down, sheesh, I was just joking don't need to give me those eyes," I said as I started to walk to the door to see who was behind it.

She held unto me, in stayed behind me while I was walking toward the direction of the door.

"If you don't want to be seen by a stranger why don't you hide," I ask curiously as the sound of the knocking kept on going.

"It would mean getting away from you," She said

"Why that be so bad," I said

"The closer I am to you the safer I am," She said in when I look at her I could see that she meant every word,

I smile before opening the door to see a familiar figure.

She was tall and had long, smooth, dark hair; stopping well past her shoulders. She had large blue eyes and a rounded face and was wearing a simple dress and skirt. Her eyes were

differentiate between light and a dark vacant,

"Not to sound rude of anything, but how did you find out where I live Frieda" I said a bit weirded out.

"What can't I just visit my brother in law" She replies

"My question still remains not many people know where I live so how did you know," I said ignoring a previous statement

"Historia told me the general direction and I followed it," She said before noticing the little girl hiding behind me.

"In who is she" She looked at Mikasa

"That Mikasa she scared of strangers," I said

"Cheating already, my poor sister going to be heartbroken," She said in an exaggerated tone.

"I'm 10 years old, you think I'm married, what else are you going to say, I had a past life," I said a bit exhausted

She visibly flinches at the mention of the last thing I said.

"I just remember that I didn't give you a present for your birthday, so I brought you a gift," She said handing me a book that looked so ancient it might as well be a family heirloom.

"So you gave me an old book," I said trying to process what happening

"Yes," She said with a smile

"Uh-huh," I said not believing a word she just said something here is wrong.

She seems to remember something before saying" Do you randomly have random migraine or see stuff that aren't there"

I started to blink to make sure this was actually happening.

"Something about this feels weird, I feel like I'm getting extorted, "I said with a bit of cautious.

"Are you not going to invite me inside for some food?" She said completely switching personality

I saw an aged man with long fair hair and a thick beard, behind Frieda holding her in chains.

"Yeah sure but the old man staying outside," I said opening the door for her to get in.

I felt Mikasa's nail on my skin like she was telling me not to, I turn around in patted her on the head saying" She is a nice person so you can trust her"

She looked a bit reluctant.

"What old man you talking about" Frieda asks curious

"The one that holding you in chains, tell him he is not allowed inside my house," I said but

For some reason the second I said that, the chain in Frieda's body disappears, and the old man vanished.

She enter the house with a smile on her face like she was released from something.

She went to the kitchen in sat down on one of the chairs.

She noticed the burned kitchen" what happen here" She asked

"Some accident happen, because someone decided to cook unsupervised," I said looking at Mikasa

She just looked away but that gave Frieda a general idea of what happened.

"I need to put a defense system if people can just come inside my house" I mutter to myself as I started to look for something I could give my guest.

Long story short she didn't come to give me a present but to eat.

"My house is not an all-you-can-eat buffet," I said as I watch as she devoured all the food on the table.

"You act different from how you normally act," I said noticing on how she went from acting like a noble to a normal teenager.

"You could say that I'm no longer in the chain when I'm here, that I can be myself," She said shrugging before finishing another plate of bacon.

"You should probably read that book when you have free time," She said

I looked at the book in the title was 'the slave, the knight in the king'.

I look at the book then back at her at the book then at her.

I open the first page of the book in started to

read it.

I close the book after reading the first page.

"So what do you think, this a great present right"she said finally finishing to eat her food.

"Decent but its getting late in I don't want you sleeping in the house, so could you kindly leave my house"I said noticing the sun going down

"Why did I do to hurt you so much you don't want me to stay," She said fake crying

"Frieda I'm supposed to be working on a project that is a secret in it's going to stay a secret, so I can't work on it while you're here," I said before she make up some weird scenarios to embarrass me.

She sigh a bit before muttering something under her breath" Why.....she...him...." was all I manage to heard the rest was blank.

I open the door for her to leave before she went out" Jack please protect my sister for me when I'm no longer around," she said like she knew she was going to die.

"Sure" I reply in a confident tone.

"You a nice person"she said before her eyes looked like they were possess.

The old man was back along with the chains.

'Wait the chains in that old man is that King Karl the one that made the vow to renounce war'I thought as she walk off into the distance

"Jack I'm hungry can we get anything to eat" I heard Mikasa's voice as she was also tugging my sleeves

"Didn't you eat while I was serving food"I said tilting my head to the side a bit

"The lady ate all the food and took some of the food in her bag"Mikasa said

It then hit me, she came into the house with an empty bag on her, then left with a full bag.

"How did I not notice that" I muttered realizing what she did.

"Are you fine with fruit as dinner?" I said to the hungry girl.

She nod her head yea in I went inside to give her food with her following closely behind.

A/N timeline we are around a month or two after the kidnapping.
