Chapter 48
*First person pov*
I look around anxiously, trembling a little. I was trying to look around for the impostor Levi... "Basil!" I snapped my head to Petra. "Are you okay?" Petra asked me, concerned. I gave her a closed eyed smile. "Yeah, I'm okay..." I said but then continuing to look around. I spot something to my left and I whipped my head towards it. It was her. "Captain Levi?" Gunther asked. I fumble with my grips, trying to trigger the gas and propel me to them but... I was shaking too much. "No, it's not! WHO ARE YOU!?" Gunther yelled at the figure. The figure turned around and I scrambled to try to pull the gas trigger. MOVE!! PLEASE!!! I DON'T WANT ANYBODY AROUND ME TO DIE AGAIN!! NOT THIS TIME!! I COULDN'T SAVE FRANZ, I COULDN'T SAVE ANYONE!! PLEASE!! The figure hooked onto a tree the right of me and propelled to Gunther. "NO!" I yelled and again. Another live I couldn't save. She sliced Gunther's head off until there was only a little piece of flesh left connecting his head to his body. "GUNTHER!!" Eren screamed. Gunther's limp body slams into the tree he was connected to, upside down his head hanging. Blood was everywhere. The figure keeps going on 3DMG, putting some space between us. Eren went to check on Gunther but it was too late. My breathing was ragged and uneven. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" I screamed as tears formed in my concealed and visible eyes. "Don't stop!" Erd said as he grabbed me and kept going, same with Oulo and Eren. "Onward!" Oulo yelled as he threw Eren so he can take over. I look behind me to look back at Gunther but Erd turned my head back forward. "Don't look back, we got to keep going, understand?" Erd said sternly and I nodded. Erd let me go so I can maneuver myself. "Who are you!?" Petra asked the figure, I didn't even realize she was right there next to us. "Damn it, what do we do!? Erd, where should we go!?" Oulo yelled, turning back to Erd. "There isn't enough time to reach the horses! Head for the HQ, as fast as you can!" Erd announced and we changed directions. We watch as the figure go somewhere else. "Is it from the female titan? Or is there more than one?" Oulo yelled. "Damn... how dare you!? COME AT ME!! I'LL DEFEAT YOU, EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!" Petra yelled at the figure. Wait a minute... if the other female titan with the ear plugs was eaten, then that means she doesn't have the ear plugs! That means I can just command her! Unless... she..! I squint, trying to look under her hood to see her ears. Dammit... she's wearing ear plugs herself. That means if she transforms, the ear plugs will still be in her real body's ears and she won't hear anything in her titan form. I think. All of the sudden, she just disappeared. There was a huge lightning bolt and hit behind a tree. I cover my ears, it was so loud. "I knew it... It's coming! The Female Titan!" Erd announces and the Female Titan emerges from the shadows. We kept maneuvering through the trees while the titan was hot on our tails. "Damn... how dare you!!! This time I'll defeat it!!" Eren shouts as he brings his hand up to bite. "Stop! The three of us will kill the Female Titan! You two will continue to head straight for the HQ at top speed!" Erd commands us, halting Eren's actions. "I will fight too!" Eren shouts. "Same here! Let me help!!" I yelled too. "No! This is the best move! Eren, your power is too risky! Basil, your power is useless since she can't hear your commands!" Erd denies. "What!? Do you doubt us!?" Oulo yelled. "Do you, Eren? Basil? Do you find it that hard to trust us?" Petra yelled. Eren looks down then turns around and zooms away. "I believe my squad will be victorious! Good luck!! C'mon Basil!" Eren shouts over his shoulder, but I stayed with the squad, looking fearfully at them. "Basil! What's the matter!?" Oulo shouts at me. "Do you not trust us!?" Erd yelled at me, looking at me in the eye. "I-" I was about to say but everything just happened so fast. The Female Titan just started accelerating and was right there in front of us. She lifted up her arm. "SCATTER!!" Petra shouts and went into a direction, with the others. I inhale sharply and went a different way, to the left. The Female Titan followed me with her eyes then went after me. "BASIL!!" I heard Eren shout but there was no way I could turn back to regroup. I was stuck, and if I stop I will get caught. The Female Titan kept swatting the air, trying to get me. And she's so close, her hands were only like 4 inches away. "BASIL!!! THIS WAY!!" I heard a voice yelled, but I didn't know where it came from. I looked around for the familiar faces of my squad members but they were no where to be seen. The thumping of the Female Titan's footsteps get louder. I hear something slice the air, making a howling sound and clamp around my waist. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed as I pound on her fist as she kept running. She dangles me by my hood, then rips my gear off of my body. I look up at her and her gaze burns into my skull... such killing intent. "Ah...AHHHH! SAVE ME!!! STOP!! PLEASE!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! DON'T KILL ME!! PLEASE!! NO!!!" I screamed as tears spring into both of my eyes. Why.... Why am I pleading with her? The Female Titan lifted me up to her mouth. What... what mercy does she have...? "BASIL!!! WE'RE COMING!!!" I suppose.... I suppose this is my punishment... For not telling everyone... Everyone's going to die because of me... and now I'm going to die... The Female Titan opened her mouth and I glanced behind her. Everyone was rushing to come save me. Not a very fitting death in my opinion... but I guess this is what I get.... I'm sorry guys... and goodbye. I was dropped into her mouth, banging my head on her teeth, knocking me out.
