Armin's P.O.V.

Levi shielded Elise's face from the gruesome sight on her abdomen, and I guided my horse in between Eren's and Elise's carts as the insults began as soon as we enter the town.

"Look where our taxes have gone." One whispered.

"Looks like we fattened up the Titans before they break through Wall Rose." I could feel anger engine my heart in fire as they insulted our bravery. I'd like to see them try to do what we do!

Yet, at the same time, I see the perspective they come from. They're scared, and even though they criticize us, they are truly happy for our efforts. I looked over to Mikasa who was helping Eren sit up.

"Eren!" I exclaimed, riding closer to him. He looked in horror over at all our comrades, bloodied and beaten.

"How...what happened..?" He asked through shocked pauses. He seemed to be searching for a specific person. He then grasped Mikasa's shoulders with a dark sadness in his eyes. "Where is Logan?!? An-And Elise?!??" I gave him a dark look, feeling tears prick at my eyes. Mikasa helped him into my horse so I could ride forward a bit to her bloody form.

"Hanji!! Get more of the damned stitches!!" Levi snapped angrily while he gripped Elise's face gently, but it was contorted into a grimace. Eren almost fell from behind me as he saw the extent of her wounds. He jumped onto the cart, startling me a bit, but I composed myself quickly.

"Jean!" Eren set a hand on his shoulder, and I could see his face told everything. He was about to break. "What happened?"

"Why don't you explain!!" He yelled back at Eren. Tears could be easily seen in his eyes now as his voice broke the silence and ruptured the air. "You were with her, Eren, what the hell happened???!?" Eren's face went pale and he diverted his eyes to his knees as he sat. Elise squirmed from her spot and finally awaking. I could tell she immediately feel pain as she began to scream loudly as tears flowed like a river down her cheeks. Through the fight between Jean and Eren, I could see Levi whisper softly into her ear, seeing her nod through biting back a scream.

"Oi." Levi turned to the two, making them immediately freeze. His eyes were scarier than usual, and he looked about a liquor bottle away from murder. "If you two don't stop fighting while Frost here is bleeding to death, I'll not only make you regret the day you joined the Survey Corps, but you'll be in a living hell."

"Y-Yes sir!!" They both exclaimed, and I was ordered to bring Eren back to his own cart. He didn't say another word from the whole trip; instead he lay on his back, silently crying as we moved along.

~~~~~~~~~

"This is horrible." I reminded all of us sitting at breakfast at HQ the next day. Elise was saved, but in such a frail state, she hasn't even woken up yet. Eren shut himself in. He only opens up his room door to hear news about Elise.

"Yeah, without Logan and Elise it's really dull." Sasha pushed her food away, and Reiner and I were sure the world had stopped spinning at that moment. But all of us here, Mikasa, Reiner, Berthold, Sasha, Jean, and I; we can't help but feel hopeless.

"Did you hear what the King ordered himself?" Jean changed the subject quickly. Ever since we came back, he's tried not to think too much about the two. We were told only last night that Logan was murdered, and it seemed all of us are still under shock. "He wants us to hand Eren over to the Military Regiment."

"That isn't happening." I promised him. Erwin and I have talked about this irregular titan, and I think we've come to an agreement that there is another titan shifter among the Military Regiment. Honestly, I think it's Annie. The signs all show; she recognized Eren's nickname; something only the 104 Scouts would understand. Berthold slammed a fist into the table softly.

"Damn." He cursed quietly. "When did all this shit fall down?"

Elise's P.O.V.

A numb feeling, that's all I knew. I lolled my head to one side, but the skin on my shoulder tightened unusually. I groaned at the sharp pain it drew out, and quieted down to hear a chuckle to my right.

"So you're alive, Shit White." A stuck up voice broke the silence. I once again groaned and turned my head back to the shortie.

"Why couldn't Mikasa, or even Hanji be my bedside nurse?" I questioned as I tried to sit up. Levi had gotten up and made his way over to my bed now, where he sat next to me and pushed me back down by my head. I saw the inches that parted our bodies, and I blushed slightly.

"Too bad shit head." He replied coldly. "And you're staying in that fucking bed wether you like it or not." I sighed and allowed my shoulders to relax. The situation I was in finally processed in my head, and I sat up with adrenaline.

"Where's Logan??" I could see a bit of sadness flash in his eyes before returning to normal, and he shoved me back onto the bed harshly, but with no pain. I awaited his answer, but he said nothing. Instead, he made his way to the door; slipping on his small tan jacket and stopping in the doorframe.

"He's sleeping right now." He finally answered, and a weight lifted from my chest. A small smile made it's way onto my face, but he simply glared at me. Levi then walked out to leaving me alone to sleep.

...Logan....
