I Love You... In Every Universe (AOT Alternative Universe)

73. Counterfeit

AUTHOR'S POV:

Gabi and Falco were in their cell.

Gabi laid on her bed, jerking around with wide eyes while she let out audible noises.

"Gabi! Hey! What's wrong?!" Falco asked, running over to her. "Hey! Get hold of yourself!"
.

A guard rushed over to their cell. "What's wrong? What happened?" He unlocked the cell.

"She suddenly started wailing in pain." Falco said and stepped to the side as the guard went to Gabi concerned.

"Hey. Young miss, are you okay?" The guard asked.

Suddenly, Gabi hit the man with her jacket against his head.

A brick was wrapped in it.

The guard fell to the ground, his eyes were wide of shock.

Gabi hit him again and again until Falco ran to her. "Gabi, that's enough!"

Her jacket fell to the ground, revealing a brick.

The guard laid dead on the ground while she was panting heavily.

Gabi and Falco ran away from the prison.

"What are you planning to do running away from here?" Falco asked.

"They would've killed us eventually." Gabi replied.

"That person was worried about you." Falco said.

"Are you really going to believe those devils?" Gabi asked. "We can't believe in Zeke either. We can't believe in anyone!"

Reiner woke up in his bed with a gasp.

He stared for a moment at the ceiling before he sat up, panting.

"Got bad dreams or something?" Porco asked, sitting on a chair with a bottle in his hand, beside him and Pieck was sitting on the other bed. Porco held up the bottle. "If only it had all been just a dream."

"I heard Gabi and Falco's voices." Reiner told them. "Where are they now?"
.
.

Gabi and Falco were by a river.

Gabi was washing her face as Falco stood behind her and looked around.

His armband was gone.

"We've made it pretty far. We ran all night after all." Falco said and turned to Gabi. "Hey. You should take off your armband. It stands out."

Gabi stared at the river in front of her. "Regular citizen won't know what this armband means anyway."

"But the soldiers would." Falco told her. "Just take it off already."

"No soldiers are walking around in a rural country side like this." Gabi said.

"If you keep it on, people will find out eventually." Falco said. "We don't have any clue on how to get back to Marley."

"I'm not going back." Gabi said. "I just want to find Zeke and ask him before I'm captured and killed. Did he really betray us? Did he betray Marley? And why did he do that? You can do whatever you want." She stood up. "You don't have to go along with me."

Falco looked down. "Is that so." He walked up to Gabi. "I'll accept the offer, then." He grabbed her armband and pulled it off. "I will toss this away for you."

Gabi grabbed him by his collar and pushed him to the ground. "Give it back!"

"Ugh!" Falco said looked up at her. "Why? What good will this thing even do for you?"
