Without You

Then why didn't you? (Chapter 8)

"What the?!" Mikasa muttered in a low tone, yet an angry one. She saw him reach down to grab it, and later sat down in his bed...just looking at it. Many questions were in her head like: how did it end up there? How did he get his hands on her scarf? Did she not lock her locker, and how?

She quickly turned to Erwin and ordered him to take her to his cell, or wherever he is. No one-and I mean no one touches her scarf. She doesn't give a crap if the man who has her scarf is the most dangerous man in the world. She promises if next time he grabs her scarf, she would give him the most painful beating he's ever felt in his entire life.

"What's the matter?" Erwin asked calmly, yet he knew exactly why she was mad. Levi had something that belonged to her. Something that is really precious to her. "He has something of mine! I want it back" she says.

He chuckles, which made her even angrier. "Mikasa..." he started off, "You clearly don't seem to understand, or know who that man was, and his brutal history in this hospital" he continued, "And let me tell you this...he's not friendly"

Mikasa's hands later curled up into fists, "Just take me to his cell.."

Erwin chuckled at her stubbornness. But, he was also curious to see of what would happen if he lead her to his cell. Most people would predict that Levi would seriously injure her. However, Mikasa isn't like other women.

She has the strength of 100 average soldiers combined, as said in her Military days. In this case, she's strong, right? Erwin thought.

"Mr. Smith!" Mikasa snapped impatiently.

He looked up at her, and saw that fire in her eyes. She seemed ready to release all her anger on Levi. Erwin is now curious.

"Alright then. But don't say I didn't warn you" Erwin turned off the T.V and walked out the room, followed by Mikasa.

After both of them were outside the room, he closed the door and locked it.

"I wonder why that scarf means so much to you..." he faced her, "I mean it's just a long piece of cloth"

Mikasa glared at him, "Keep talking and I'll break your skull"

"If you do, then you wouldn't get your precious scarf back"

Mikasa wanted to punch him so badly, but she controlled her anger and decided not to. She let out a small sigh. Erwin smirked and began walking through the hallway, followed by Mikasa, who stayed quiet.

Eventually, Erwin stopped in front of a steel door that had a sign that said "Do not enter"

Erwin dug through his pocket and got out his keys. He unlocked the door and opened it. It had stairs leading down. It was dark and barely functioning light bulbs. It was pretty creepy.

Erwin opened the door wider for both of them.

"Watch your step" he told her and started to head downstairs. Mikasa followed cautiously.

Soon, the stairs lead down to another hallway, but darker. Erwin waited for Mikasa come downstairs.

When she was finally off the stairs. Erwin's arm stretched into the direction of the dark hallway. Telling her that his cell is at the very end of the hallway.

"Good luck" he told her, and began to walk back upstairs. Leaving Mikasa alone.

Mikasa cracked her knuckles and started walking down the hallway. She looked at the crack walls, and noticed some old blood stains on them.

So, Petra was right...Mikasa thought as she recalls being told about his brutal behavior. Including his attitude towards Hanji earlier.

"He's a monster!"
