You're Not Alone

•11•

I continue to HQ. There are Titans surrounding the entire building. I'm not sure the fuel I have will get me there. I turn around to see if the others are behind me.

They aren't. A little ways away, I can see them on top of a building. I guess they're regrouping. I don't have time though, we need to get the gas for our ODM gear and go save the people in the supply depot.

I notice Jean standing, staring at something. Two cadets jet down to the ground and I no longer see them. I hope they are coming up with a good plan, because I need back up. I'm good, but I can't take out all of these Titans by myself.

Screaming enters my ears. People are dying near the group. How is that happening? There's cadets everywhere, Annie, Jean, all of the them could be helping. What's going on?

Is Mikasa and Armin okay? Her state of mind is not good right now. Eren is dead and that means her reason to fight is gone. I believe in her though. She will find a way to survive. For him.

I look at my ODM gear and see I'm using the last of my gas. I'm not going to make it the HQ. Damn it! Why did this have to happen now? I'm so close!

Eren... I'm sorry. The last thing I want is to disappoint you. You were my hero. You still are. No matter what, I'll survive.

"Shit!"

My gas runs out and I begin to fall to the ground. If I hit the cement, I'm done for. I close my eyes and let my body relax. See you soon brother...

I feel hands grab under my legs and my back. My eyes open and I find Jean holding onto me. He looks down and smirks at me. Before I can say anything, we crash into a buildings window and topple onto the floor.

My hands try to break my fall, but I end up rolling and colliding with a desk. I see spots and my vision is blurry, but I manage to shake it off.

"That was close," I tilt my head back and take a deep breath. Jean gets up and looks towards the windows.

The other cadets break through the glass, joining us.

"H-how many of us made it?" Jean gasps for air. I watch as he holds his head in his hands.

"Are you okay Sophie?" Marco comes over and helps me up off the ground.

"Y-yeah," I stand up. "Are you good?"

"Yeah, Jean really came through for us and got us here safely. He's a true leader. Sucks he wants to join the Military Police."

I turn my head and find Jean talking to...a desk?

"Hold on a sec. You guys with the supply team?"

"Yeah..." I hear a males voice come from under the desk.

As soon as he speaks, Jean grabs the guy and pulls him out. I watch as Jean punches the man in the face and he falls to the ground.

"Jean! Stop!" Marco runs over and holds him back.

"You cowards! You left us out there on our own!" Jean screams. "People are dead because you didn't have the guts to do your job!"

A girl kneels down to her friend, screaming back at Jean. Trying to defend her actions. But there is no defending the death of my brother and my friends.

"The Titans were coming at us from every angle! They overran the supply room, okay?"

I stomp over and get in between Jean who Marco is still holding and the two people on the ground. I face the supply team members.

"It's your job to deal with it and back us up anyway! We managed to get here and not all of us did! You fight no matter what!"

I hear a sound come from outside and Reiner yells for us to hit the deck. All of a sudden the wall is hit and a Titans face appears in the hole that was made.
