Ch 10- The Female Titan

"Eren, eyes back on the road! Keep going!" Petra's voice is now the one that rebuts Eren's. "Are you telling me to look away? To abandon my comrades and run?!" Eren's voice is full of disbelief. "Yes, that's right!" Petra replies without hesitation. "Obey the orders the Captains have given!" But Eren continues, despite her words, "I don't understand why we're leaving them to die! Or why the Captains won't explain! Why?!" You grip the saddle as you continue to push [h/n] down the trek as now Oluo's words join the fray. "That's because they decided the reason should not be explained. You just don't understand because you're still green! If you get it, then shut up and obey!" A brief silence takes over as you hear Eren sheathe his sword, and you instantly know the thoughts that cross his mind: he wants to use his Titan power. "What are you doing, Eren!" Petras's voice shouts out sharply, "You're only allowed to do that if your life is in danger. You promised us!" A brief silence takes over before she shouts out again, "Eren!" Silence takes over before the man beside you speaks.

"You aren't wrong. If you want to do it, do it." You turn slightly to see Levi's eyes shine with certainty as he mutters the words to Eren. "I can tell. He's a real monster. And it's nothing to do with his Titan power. No matter what power you use to suppress him, no matter what cage you put him in, he will never submit to anyone." You think back to our first encounter with Eren and his words to us, realising Levi is right. I just want to slaughter the Titans. "Eren, the difference between your decision and ours is experience. But you don't have to rely on that. Choose. Believe in yourself. Or believe in the Survey Corps and me." No one ever knows how it will turn out. "Choose for yourself whichever decision you'll regret least." Silence takes over as Eren contemplates Levi's words, as the last Scout moves in the air by the female Titan.

"Eren! Have faith!"

[Flashback]

"I found a way to half-kill you," Levi spoke up as you leaned on the same desk Hange sat on, observing Levi talk to Eren. "I said I'd only be able to stop you as a Titan if I killed you. But this method would only badly wound you. Of course, it relies on the squad's skill." Levi pauses, drawing out a picture of a figure supposed to be Eren on the blackboard and marking it with two dotted arcs that intersect the figure's limbs. "The idea is to cut you right out of the Titan's neck. We'd end up cutting the ends of your arms and legs off, but they'd just grow back like a lizard's... Creepy, really." Levi finished with his deadpan stare, glancing at Eren. "Wait," Eren said hesitantly, "I don't know how they grow back. Is there some other way..."

Levi's eyes narrowed sharply at his words, "So you're saying you don't want there to be any danger or sacrifice?" Eren looked taken-a-back before replying, "N-no." Levi's glare remained, "Then just resolve yourself. We will, too. The danger for us is that you might kill us. So don't worry," he said as you looked around the room at the other squad members who were also present. "Yes... understood." Eren, albeit hesitantly, nodded. "Th-Then, I can do experiments?" you turn to your side, sweatdropping at Hange's sudden ominous look, glasses shining under the light from the windows. "It's very risky," you sigh, getting up, before turning to Levi, who catches your eye, "But that doesn't mean that we can't use him to investigate." He nods to me, agreeing.

"I can be in charge of planning this, right?" You turned back to Hange, who still sat in the same position. "Eren, if there's something you don't understand, learn to understand it. It's well worth any risk to our lives."

.....

We found ourselves by a well several meters away from headquarters. Levi, Hange and you stood around it, our horses also nearby as we looked down. "Ready, Eren?" you ask. We had lowered him into the well, readying for the worst after he transformed. "When it's prepared, I'll use the smoke signal to notify you." Hange said, looking at Eren, "After that, any decisions are up to you." Eren saluted the two of us, "Roger!" You smiled kindly at him before turning to Hange, who again had a strange look masked on their face. "This dried-up well could hold even a mindless Titan... Probably." You sigh before slightly smiling; despite Hange's antics, many people overlooked their smarts because of the way she acted. You dragged Hange away from the well as Levi followed us. Making sure we were at a safe distance, Hange set off the green smoke signal in the air.
