The blonde Titan made her way over towards them.

"Come on, Mikasa. Wake up!" y/n continuously shook Mikasa's unconscious body.

Y/n and Eren both look up in fear to see her get closer and closer.

Y/n was still regenerating while Eren was somehow still regenerating as well.

The blonde Titan then swats her hand down to grab y/n and Eren.

Y/n loosens her body and closes her eyes while having a sly smile.

Maybe it's time for me to rest, she thought I am exhausted. I want to see mom and dad again.

And just as the smiling blonde Titan was about to grab her, a Garrison Soldier comes and guards all three of them.

"Hannes!" Eren calls out and y/n now knows that that Garrison Soldier's name is Hannes.

He then slices the Titans wrist away. Hannes then smiles at Eren while chuckling as well.

"What are the odds of this?! Check it out! You just watch. I'm about to avenge your mother and butcher this thing!" Hannes declares.

He then goes in and fights the Titan that killed Eren's mother.

"Hannes!" Eren calls out.

And for the most of it, Hannes was doing really well. He was getting the upper hand in the fight. He was slicing and cutting and he was definitely hitting the weak spots.

"Y/n! Untie my hands!" Eren yells.

"Why? It's not like you can do anything." y/n asks.

"Yes, I can. I don't want Hannes to kill that thing. I want to. I have to be the one to do it!" Eren answers.

Y/n sighs in defeat and bends down to untie his cuffs. He then stands up,

"It's time to settle the score!" Eren yells.

He bites down on his hand, making blood squirt, but nothing happens.

"Huh?!" Eren yells.

Y/n just looks down. She felt defeated. Given up.

If only I could've protected the Founder, to protect Eren. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten into this situation. The whole Scouting Regiment wouldn't have to die for us. If only I could've killed Bertolt and Reiner sooner. y/n thought as she looks down in defeat.

Eren kept on biting his hand over and over and over but he couldn't transform.

Eren and y/n then looked up in horror to see that Hannes was now grabbed by the blonde Titan.

Eren kept biting and biting while the blonde Titan slowly made Hannes go to her mouth.

Right now... I need to become a Titan! Or it's all for nothing! Eren thought.

Y/n and Eren see the blonde Titan ruthlessly chomp on Hannes. Everything seemed like it stopped. Almost like your favorite character from a story died in the worst way possibly imagined.

Y/n has only just met Hannes but from the reaction and odd instinctive feeling from Eren, she knew Hannes was someone important. At least to Eren.

And for Eren, he looked up at the same Titan that had killed his mother, kill his friend. No, not friend. More like brother or uncle. Maybe even drunkard father.

Eren dropped to his knees and y/n made her way over to him.

She didn't know what to do. She knew exactly how it felt, to lose someone important, but all she could do was let a few tears drop from her eyes.

Eren then started crying on all fours. Y/n could see every year drop from his eyes. Y/n flinched a little at every blood hurdling scream that came out of his mouth.

Y/n then pulls him off of the ground and hugs him. Eren was a little caught off guard from this but slowly sunk in into her embrace and started crying on her shoulder.

Y/n put her chin on his shoulders while breathing in the smell of his nape while Eren was burying his tearful and puffy face into the crock of her neck. Y/n felt all the teardrops rolling down from his skin to hers but she didn't mind.

The way they hugged felt like connecting the last two puzzle pieces together.

After a moment of just hugging each other and hearing Eren's cries and yells, Eren broke the silence.

"Mom... I... can't... I still... can't do anything at all." Eren mumbled.

Y/n then started to shush him. She was rubbing his back but made her way to his nape to rub it. At first, Eren stiffened and flinched at the sensitive touch, but immediately melted into it because he loves it. Even some sniffles and teardrops stoped because of it.

Y/n chuckled quietly.

"Do you like it?" she asked sweetly and Eren nodded while still burying his face into the crock of her neck.

Y/n then pulled away from the hug and put her hands on Eren's cheek/neck while using her finger to rub his nape.

Eren looks into her e/c eyes while y/n looks into his turquoise orbs.

Y/n breaks eye contact and turns her head over to see the blonde Titan making it's way over to them.

Y/n smiles and turns her gaze back at Eren.

"You know Eren... I am really exhausted. Maybe it's time I rest." she states while still smiling and tears falling from her face.

"What... do you mean?" Eren says with a concern eyes.

"I am just so tired, Eren. But I guess when you're around, it makes my life a little better. You, mom, dad, Connie, Sasha, Mikasa, Armin." y/n rambles.

"Y/n..." Eren mutters.

"Eren. Thank you." y/n says.

"What do-"

Eren was cut off by a kiss from y/n. She deepened her soft lips into his. Eren and y/n lips connected perfectly with each other. All y/n could feel was paradise. It felt euphoric and magical, but comfortable and warm. Just like the first time she felt Eren's skin. Eren was, again, caught off guard by the kiss but slowly sunk into it like how she rubbed his nape.

Y/n leaned into Eren, making their kiss deepen and Eren snaked his hands around her waist.

Eren felt as if the whole entire world stoped and there was finally peace. Eren's soft lips tendered into y/n's and they were like that for awhile.

Then, they both felt a huge hand grab them. All of a sudden electricity shocked both of them. Eren was a little confused by it but didn't let it bother him but y/n was so shocked by it, it made her break the kiss and look around with wide eyes.

Eren then looked at the blonde Titan who was holding both of them.

Eren felt a surge of energy and power he has never felt before. He then let out a war cry; a powerful scream.

The Titan then let go and they both dropped to the ground.

Eren turn his head around to look at y/n who looked like a lost puppy of confusion.

"You're not tired. Get up. Be strong! You told me!" Eren yelled at y/n who looked at him with confusion. Eren looked back at the Titan who was about to grab him again. "You told me, that this is how strong people fight!"

Then suddenly a wave of small memories flashed over y/n who was now even more confused to what was going on.

Eren then screamed and punched the Titans hand. While doing so, electricity sparked within Reiner, Bertolt, Ymir, Y/n, and even Eren.

All of a sudden, a Titan tackled the blonde Titan to the ground. Soo after, many other Titans started attacking it while tearing it to shreds and eating it to pieces.

Eren then grabs Mikasa who was still unconcious. He looks over to y/n who was staring at all the Titans with pure confusion on her face.

"Y/n! What are you doing! We need to go!" Eren yelled while having Mikasa on his back.

Y/n then started running with Eren while they both looked at the Titans with pure confusion.

Then they both look over to see the Armored Titan running towards them.

Eren stops which makes y/n stop too.

"GET AWAY FROM ME! YOU PIGS! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" Eren yells and electricity sparks once again through Eren and Reiner.

Suddenly, all of the Titans started going after Reiner.

"Eren! Y/n! Get on!"

The both look to see it was Armin who had two horses with Jean on his back.

"Armin!" Eren calls out.

"Hurry!" Armin orders.

Eren gets on with Mikasa on his back while y/n was struggling to get on the saddle.

"Hey! Are you alright?" Eren asks y/n.

Y/n only nods but still has a face of confusion and like a toddler seeing the outside world or a weird aquarium for the first time.

And Eren took note of that.

Weird... he thought.

~*~

Everyone finally made it back to Trost. Hanji, Captain Levi, and all of the remaining of the 104th cadet recruits of the Scout Regiment were all circling around y/n.

"So she knows the secrets of the Titans and the walls and who our enemies are?" Levi asks.

"Yes. Her and Ymir." Eren says.

"This is all I've been dreaming of since the day I got here. I am so excited!" Hanji cheered.

"I've lived with you for two years and you didn't say a thing? I know I didn't know you that much but I didn't think you were this secretive." Connie scoffed in annoyance.

"Everyone! Quiet! We still haven't heard from y/n!" Armin hushed everyone.

Everyone looked at y/n but something was weird. They know that something was off about y/n and the way she was looking at everyone. She was looking at them like she was uncomfortable and this was the first time seeing them. And her personality was snarky or stoic but like a shy little girl lost in a market.

"How are the Titans made?" Levi asked straightforwardly.

No response. Just y/n looking like a newborn puppy.

"Hey. Answer the question." Jean demanded.

Still no response.

"Come on, y/n! People are dying just to know the truth! You can save our comrades! You can save us all!" Sasha said but there was still no response from y/n.

"Don't tell me she's trying to keep the secrets hidden." Levi said in annoyance.

Eren then grabbed y/n's shoulder which made her flinch and look at him with fear in her eyes.

"Y/n... Are you okay?" Eren asked.

Everyone was now looking at y/n with concern.

"Yeah speaking about it... When we finally got back you've been off. Did Reiner and Bertolt do anything to you?!" Jean asked.

"Yeah, have you've been emotionally traumatized?"

"Maybe they are threatening her not to say anything."

"She's obviously keeping it a secret. She's a threat to humanity."

"Why would you say that?! She has helped us a lot."

"Hey! Say something!"

Y/n looked at all the faces crowding her with fear. She trembled and flinched whenever someone would raise their voice in the slightest.

"Hey!"

Eren broke the tense atmosphere and silenced all of them.

"Give her a break!" Eren yelled at all of them.

Eren then turned his head over to y/n.

"Are you okay?" Eren asked you.

There was a pregnant silence and everyone was waiting for y/n to talk, eagerly.

Y/n tried to talk but nothing came out. She was so scared the people surrounding her could feel her trembling.

"I'm sorry but... Do I know you guys? I don't know what I am doing here." y/n finally squeaked.

Everyone looked at her with confusion plastered on their face, even the usually stoic captain Levi.

But the one who was in the most fear and confusion, was Eren. Especially after that intimate kiss on the battlefield. He then again felt like he lost something.

"What... What do you mean 'do I know you guys?' We're your comrades." Eren told y/n with pain in his voice.

"No! Please get away from me." y/n then swatted Eren's hand off her shoulder. "I don't know you! I don't know what I am doing here!"
