Pov/Reiner:

"Are you an idiot?" Annie hissed at him. "If we don't kill the Titans they captured, then they could learn about them. And if-"

"And how would you suggest we do it then, even if you don't get caught they'll start suspecting there's a traitor among them.," he said aggressively, cutting her off.

"Not if we use ODM gear, they'll think it was just a soldier who hated Titans who killed them," she hissed.

"This won't help getting the Founder," he said, trying to reason with her.

Her eyes narrowed. "If you wanted to get the founder, you would have broken more than three walls already. If you wanted the founder you wouldn't have let one of the walls get sealed."

He sighed before speaking. "Well, you can kill them if you want to, but I'm not getting involved."

"Fine," Annie said beginning to walk off.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Don't blow our cover."

She pulled her arm away, breaking his grip with minimal effort, then walked off into the night. Dammit, Annie, you're going to get us caught. But then again... I think Eren already suspects we're traitors.

It had to start eventually, He clenched his fists drawing blood while he stood still delving deeper into his thoughts.

Damn you Marely. Damn you for sending me here.

Change pov/Eren

The old scout headquarters came into full view, the castle had once been the headquarters for the Scouts but had been abandoned long ago, the scouts had instead moved further inside the walls and left the castle to rot.

Even now he remembered his days here with the Levi squad, trying to figure out his Titan power. Things were simple back then, there was no Marley, no other Titan shifters. There was just us and the Titans.

Oluo road up next to him and leaned close to him and spoke to him in a hushed voice.

"Don't get cocky rookie," he turned his head slightly to look at Oluo.

"You shouldn't speak while riding a horse," his eyes narrowed at the statement.

"You won't be so cocky after you spend a week with-" he was cut off as his horse stumbled causing him to bite down on his tongue, sending blood onto his cheeks and down his throat.

Oluo tried suppressing a yelp but failed, drawing everyone's attention to him. He grabbed his tongue which was bleeding profusely and tried to stop the bleeding while the scouts nearby were stifling their laughter.

Oluo rushed over to the well as soon as they passed the gates and was quickly followed by Petra.

Blathering like that on a horse, of course, you bit your tong."

"I was making a first impression," Oluo responded holding a cloth around his tongue.

"That rookie was quaking in his boots."

"I think he was just surprised by what a fool you are," he left them to their banter, walking towards Levi and the rest of the squad who stood before the gates which like the rest of the castle had fallen in to disappear. Moss and ivy grew all around it, while the wood itself was chipped and slightly rotten.
