AOT - WHEN HEAVEN WEEPS

CHAPTER 27: "THE STORM GATHERS"

~2 DAYS LATER~

Erwin had returned from his meeting with the Higher-ups about (Male Name), to say the least it was successful... as he enters the Castle he noticed the Careful mood around the whole Castle.

"Did something Happened while I'm away?" He asked Armin who greeted him.

"(Male Name) had a Close call last night, Commander..." Armin answered.

Knowing what Armin meant he began to worry

"Is (Male Name) alright?" He asked.

"He's fine Erwin..." Hanji came up beside him.

"What Happened?" Erwin asked.

"(Male Name) Gave us a scare a day and a half ago... we thought he had died because he had stopped breathing as I try to stabilize him..." Hanji stated as she was clearly shaken at the sight of (Male Name) dying on her hands.

"And then What Happened..."

"I did everything I could to revive him, but it all failed so I assumed him Dead. Levi was so Furious when I broke the News to him... but Miracle happened when (Male Name) woke up and tried to call out on Levi... He lived..." Hanji answered.

Hanji reported everything on what had transpired a day and a half ago while he's not around... and Erwin had told Hanji that there was an all-out order to search for Eren Yeager... after some time he went to see Levi he found his Love in (Male Name)'s room... Looking after his son who was in a peaceful sleep.

"How is he?" Erwin asked.

"He's fine, he's recovering well..." Levi stated never leaving his sight on his son.

"He really picked up your Scare tactics, you know... He nearly gave Hanji a Heart attack of a Lifetime." Erwin chuckled to lighten the mood.

Levi chuckled... and both he and Erwin chatted about the plans in search for Eren...

"We will do what we can... for (Male Name)'s Sake... we had to find Eren." Erwin stated.

"Un... we have to..." Levi stated looking at Erwin pleadingly.

~BY SUNSET~

While everyone was preparing for the night, Adair was heading to his Young Master's room to see if he's awake, just as he got there he heard a window glass break and struggling inside the room, with his sword by his side he slammed the door opened, seeing two figures holding his frightened Master on the floor...

He had seen Red... with a ferocious Roar of anger he attacked the two intruders... they did put a fight, Reiner came and grabbed the Corporal's Son, the whole area around the room was surrounded and there is no escape... Adair who was in full fury had the Darkest look that everyone thought never exist on the usually calm Servant of (Male Name)... they want to go down on their knees and beg for forgiveness... even a fully Grown warrior can't stand against Adair's temper once it showed its Face. One of the two intruders had grown courage to demand who Adair was.

"I am Adair Silverwood, a Winged Kin, Servant to Prince (Male Name) (Last Name)..." He answered.

And with that Adair moved with lightning speed, unsheathing his sword, screaming,

"How dare you touch my Master, You vile creature! You shall pay for such a crime!" His sword stabbed the Taller Man at his shoulder, the shorter one is a Coward; he followed his attack with a powerful punch to the man's jaw, making him slouching off the sword's blade, clutching his wound tightly. In a sinister tone, Adair continued his sword attack, the Taller Opponent narrowly missing his blade. "Your blood shall quench the thirst of this sword which has been passed down The Silverwood Family for generations!"

Adair had lost it! With no place to escape the two intruders had to fight back, but they are no match at the enraged Winged Servant of (Male Name) (Last Name) who was now standing behind Reiner who was looking at Adair with wide eyes...

"Wow... what a Babe..." Reiner muttered.

You looked at him oddly... then you continued watching having a fighting spree on the two intruders who tried to kidnap you while you're asleep... soon the two intruders were lying bleeding on the Floor, though Adair had sported some scratches and wounds that started to heal quite normally... he was about to advance on killing the intruders when Erwin spoke up...

"Adair, Wait... don't kill them... they might know where Eren's where about."

Adair huffed and sheathed his sword and proceed on tying the two intruders up, but he never let his eyes off the two intruders...

"I'll do the interrogation, Erwin... it'll be easy." You stated...

Erwin was about to argue, but Levi beat him to it

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Yes... I can..." You answered and turned to Adair. "Make sure no other intruders coming in."

Adair nodded and propped the two intruders into sitting position and went out of the room... the others followed suit except for Levi and Erwin and Hanji, they want to see how you deal with the interrogation...

Once the intruders are awake, you removed the cloak and Levi was shock to See his Mentor, Kenny Ackerman... but didn't say anything...

"Shall we begin the interrogation..." You stated icily.

For some reason, Hanji, Levi and Erwin shuddered when you said those words in the Most Darkest tone you could Muster... they saw how Terrified the other intruder is... your eyes glowed in all seriousness.

"Now gentlemen, Care to tell me where is Eren Yeager?" You asked straight to the point. "And don't even try to lie, I can see it clearly."

"W-We don't know!" The Cowardly one cried.

You snarled and your eyes flashed, before everyone could speak your leg lashed out and kicked the Coward Down and stepped on his head.

"One thing I hate the most are Liars, do not think of me as someone easily to be fooled... you'll regret it... now... Care to tell me, where Eren Yeager is?" You asked icily.

None answered...

"Alright, you asked for it..." You stated and took a step back.

you showed them your True Form, your hair grew long up to the knees, Darker than Black, bangs parted to either side of your face, glowing Sapphire Blue irises with slitted Pupils, you are wearing black coat, but your clothing is given red linings and is a different shape. Your sleeves have small white wings, and you bear a dark blue and black wing over your right shoulder. You bear two additional wings underneath your coat. high-heeled stiletto boots, a shower of black feathers, and sharp claws.

"You know... I head read in my Ancestral History that, there is Possibility that we winged kin devour humans on occasion... I won't mind doing so right now." You stated with your blood thirsty smile as your pupils slitted.

You knelt down in front of the Tall man and looked him in the eyes, you saw indifference and when Mikasa entered the room by accident you saw the man flinched, you knew right away and grinned evilly that everyone thought you don't have, you leaned down and whispered

"She's your Daughter is it?" You whispered and smirked when the man Flinched.

The man didn't said a thing...

"I saw it in your past... you had a beautiful Wife, she was murdered by Slave Traders and your Daughter is Missing and she had a close resemblance to Mikasa Ackerman is it?" You continued... "There is a Possibility that Mikasa Ackerman is your Daughter."

The Tall man looked at you in horror. You smirked evilly and turned to Mikasa and grabbed her which alarmed Erwin, Levi and Hanji... you were about to burry your fangs on Mikasa's Neck when

"I'll talk! Leave her out of this!" The Tall Man cried out.

You paused from your little ministration and glanced at the Tall Man...

"Hoh? So you'll talk now..."

"Leave her out of this! I'll talk!" The Tall Man called out.

"So the infamous Kenny the Reaper is going to talk now... very well... Speak." You stated as you let Mikasa go. "Why did you kidnapped Eren Yeager?"

"We are ordered to do so..." Kenny answered...

You saw Adair standing by the Balcony ready for action if needed.

"By who?" You asked icily.

"B-By Rod Reiss, the Original King..." Kenny answered.

"What is that Man Planning?" You asked darkly as the room's temperature dropped drastically.

"To Devour Eren Yeager and Gain the Power of the 'Coordinates'..." Kenney answered truthfully.

"By any means?" You hissed.

"Killing Eren Yeager and Eat him, so his Power as a Titan-Shifter will transfer to Rod Reiss himself and use it for himself." Kenny answered.

"And your attempt on Kidnapping me?" You asked icily.

"So he could have you in his command for himself." Kenny answered.

Adair snarled at that... you sighed

"Where is Eren taken?"

Kenny opened his mouth and began telling everything he knew...

~BY DAWN~

Everyone was sleeping while you're in the Garden looking up in the sky, the sky was letting out a nostalgic colour of pink, light purple and indigo of the ending night... You remembered what the Man asked you that night.

"Why are you desperate looking for that boy?"

"He is one of the Reasons why I haven't destroyed all Humans... yet... and also... He's my Lover." You answered.

You looked at the Key in your Hand... you remembered why Eren handed his Key over to you.

~FLASHBACK~

"I have something to give you."

"Alright," You said. You were sceptical of what Eren had for you in the middle of the night while you were in your bed, but it couldn't be as bad as what Hanji usually had for him.

Eren pulled out a key from his shirt and looped the chain over his head. He handed it to You, and You stared at it, recognizing it right away. It was the presume key to the basement of Eren's house, but it was also key to why Eren was alive right now, the key to Eren's life, the key to humanity's victory.

"I can't accept that," You stated.

"You have given me your heart," Eren said, refusing to retreat. "This is the least I could give you."

"Eren—"

"I've said that I would be honoured to place my life in your hand." Eren grabbed Your hand and wrapped it around the key. You wanted to pull away, but Eren's grip was firm. "You now have it."

"Eren," You began, and Eren tightened his hold on Your hand. You thought of your promise to Eren as you felt the key, still warm with the heat of Eren's body.

You were now holding Eren's life in your hand. You had made your choice, and now Eren had made his. As You looked into Eren's unwavering eyes, You realized that perhaps Eren had made his choice a long time ago, back when he had told you that he knew your Dad's violence during the trial was necessary, back when he had looked at you with trepidation, but still honestly said that he didn't hate Levi. Eren had been sure way back then. It was only now that You caught up to Eren's pace.

"I understand," You said, and Eren sighed in relief. You pulled your hand from Eren's and looped the key around your neck. "I will protect it with my life."

"Thank you," Eren said, and it was the first time that you saw him smiled whole heartedly.

~END FLASHBACK~

"Eren... I swear I'll find you... just wait for me." You murmured.

You looked back up in the sky and noticed a One Bright Red Star, you knew another tragedy will come again... you held your hands together and Prayed.

"Atlas... if you can hear my Prayer... if I couldn't find Eren Yeager on Time, Please let it be you who will find him... Lend him your strength to face the Danger that will come in this Darkest Hour that the Humans and I will face..." You prayed whole heartedly.

~SOMEWHERE IN THE LAND BEYOND THE BOUNDARY OF THE WORLD~

Another thunder flashed in the Starry Skies as the Spirit of the Missing Titan reappeared as if Hearing the Voice of his Angel. A growl rumbled at the back of his throat.

"My Little Angel..."

He let out a Long and Loud Roar as his body was engulfed by the light and darted in the Starry Skies...

~BACK AT SURVEY CORPS GARDEN~

Your eyes snapped open when you heard something from the distance, you stood up from the bench you were sitting and looked at the distant skies where you heard the faint roar and there you saw another Bright Star... a Shining White Star.

"Atlas..." You murmured.
