Book 1: Where did I go wrong (Stuck in Attack on Titan fanfic)

Chapter 46: I'm a what?

 A sharp pain in my entire body caused me to slowly wake up from the weird dream. As soon as I was conscious again, the rusty smell of blood filled my nose, and the sound of something burning filled my ears. I opened my eyes slowly, trying to get a small look at where I was. My eyes widened once I was able to figure out where I was. I was under a giant skeleton that was slowly disintegration. I tried to sit up, but I was in to much pain.

I sighed and looked down at my hands. They were both holding something golden, and I immediately recognized it. It was my pendent. I was about to move my hand, but stopped when I heard faint yelling. I couldn't tell who was yelling, but I knew the voice was familiar. It was also coming from behind me.

After a few minutes, the yelling grew louder. I started hearing footsteps as the yelling grew louder. I started to recognize the voices as they grew closer. They were calling my name, so I tried calling back. But my throat was sore and dry, it hurt just breathing.

I closed my eyes, hoping that I would wake up at home in the real world again. But I knew that was just wishful thinking. I've been here long enough to know that this isn't a dream. And if it was then I'm probably in a coma right now.

After a few minutes the footsteps grew louder. Loud enough that I knew they were really close. Suddenly, I felt someone wrap the arms around my body and lift me up slightly. As the person holding me started to speak, I immediately knew who it was.

It was Armin.

Armin held me close to his chest, causing my cheeks to feel slightly warm, and called out to someone. I heard even more footsteps coming closer once he did. After a minute, I could hear another voice close by.

"Armin!" a voice that I knew was Eren's yelled.

The footsteps grew closer until they stopped right next to Armin.

"Is she alright?" asked Eren.

"I don't know," said Armin.

"It's just like the rest of them," said another voice that I immediately knew was Mikasa.

There was a short silence before Eren spoke up.

"Are you serious?" asked Eren," You don't really think....?"

"I do," Mikasa interrupted.

There was another silence before Armin spoke up.

"W..w..we can't just assume that," he said with disbelief in his voice," There must be some other explanation."

"Armin," said Mikasa," I know it's difficult to think about, but it's probably true."

I heard Mikasa turn around before speaking again.

"I mean, who else could have been that thing?" she asked.

There was a moment of silence before she spoke again.

"You guys don't have an answer, do you?"

There was more silence before Armin spoke up.

"But if that were true, then..."

"We need to make sure only a few of us know about it," Eren finished.

"Mm-hm," Mikasa agreed," And if the government can not know any of this."

There was a little more silence after Mikasa said that. I felt Armin's body shake a little, as if he was afraid. But why would he be afraid? Was it for me?

As I thought about it, I remembered that Ymir pointed out that I wasn't as dense as she thought. Does that mean...?

"But we can't do that," Armin nearly yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts," Hato probably doesn't want to be kept hidden for the rest of her life."

"Armin," said Mikasa," We understand that you love her, but we need to do this for her protection."

Armin stopped shaking. Now I knew exactly what Ymir meant, and it wasn't just a small suspicion. And I'm pretty sure I am blushing right now.

"That's true," said Eren," We had to do this from the start anyways. Remember, she was a survivor of the Fall of Wall Maria. Not only that but she was able to see the outside would and live through you know what."

I heard Armin sigh before a small pause in the conversation.

"Not to mention this," said Mikasa.

"What even was this?" asked Eren," Is she a titan shifter too?"

I nearly opened my eyes in surprise. I was a titan shifter? How is that even possible?

"I think it's more complicated then that," said Mikasa," But I'm not to sure of that."

Suddenly, I felt something wet come from above me. I heard Mikasa turn around to look at us before speaking again.

"It's probably best to leave it to Hanji," said Mikasa.

I heard Armin sigh.

"Fine," he said.

Suddenly, the sound of people running could be heard from not to far away. After a minute, the footsteps got really close to us.

"GUYS!" a familiar female voice yelled.

Nobody spoke, and I'm pretty sure they were all looking at the girl who was coming.

"There you are!" she beamed.

"What do you want?" asked Eren.

"I'm here to tell you that we're about to retreat," she said," And Captain Levi wants to make sure we've found Hato."

The girl then paused for a second before speaking.

"And it looks like you've found her already," she said," Let's get going then."

I felt Armin get up, with me still in his arms. He started to, or at least I assume, follow the girl with Mikasa and Eren. I felt his gaze come down onto me as he continued walking. Then, he did something that caused me to faint.

He pecked my cheek.

Now, I was in another weird dream, and it was pretty similar to the last. The only difference was that I never got out of the bubble, and there was once silhouette. And this one silhouette tried to kill me multiple times. This dream made me realize that things were going to get a lot weirder from now on.

And maybe magical.
