(Annie's POV)

I woke up earlier than usual, seeing as how I slept early next to Mikasa Ackerman herself.
I quickly realized that I was sleeping naked. I took a gander at Mika'a body only to realize that she is in the same situation as I am but already asleep.

I took a look to the bedside and saw her phone vibrating with messages popping up as I heard the vibration. I reached for it and was able to grab it with the little strength I was able to muster. It was a group chat that consisted of A girl called Ymir, Jean, Krista, a guy called Connie and Mikasa herself.

"Hey." I heard a sweet voice coming from beside me.
I took a look at Mikasa only too see her greeting me with her alluring eyes.

"What're you doing?" She asked.

"Your phone was buzzing with these messages." I replied.

"Don't tell me they woke you up." She said.

"Oh no. They didn't. I woke up just before that. Don't worry." I comforted her just before giving her her phone. "Here."

She took a look at the phone before groaning and getting up.

"The gang. I wanted them to meet up with me so we can discuss whether we really should abandon the search for Eren." She said.

"Are you really willing to abandon him now?" I asked. She gave me a confused look.

"What?" She asked.

"After all that's happened. You're willing to give up on him that easily?" I asked.

"No! But it's the group, they... they really think I should stop." She replied.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I'm sacrificing life and limb for a chance to even get a glimpse at him, and yet I fail time and time again. He hid some clues on some sort of box in the form of a secret abbreviated code of some sorts that goes like this: YBMH - M." She explained.

"What's the box for?" I asked.

"I don't know. The clues are supposed to get me to what I assume is the key. Or so I've thought. They led me to a cup of Yogurt, yes Fucking Yoghurt. A cup that contained a mean letter written by Eren that I can only assume he wrote at the time he left. B stood for Bold which meant every bold letter on that goddamned letter! It spelled YOUR LOCKER." She continued, getting angrier the more she continued.

"Calm down, babe. You don't need to go into detail if it opens old wounds. Just relax." I said as I got up and started caressing her naked perfect body as we sat on the bed.

"No I wanna continue." She said.

"Okay." I said as I started kissing her neck and playing with her big breasts.

"Went there, looked around and found a notebook in Connie's room written in an odd color, it had a number on it and told us to message it, we did and it lead us to a restaurant far from here, Connie went inside and I went around the back only to be jumped by Jason himself and nearly choked to death. Connie then came out and was given a taser by whoever was in there and we both escaped. Connie was given a long binary code that told Connie that I should be warned about gangs trying to kidnap me to sell me for the highest price on the black market. And I guess that message was M." She explained.

"And what about H?" I asked.

"I'll tell you in a sec but first I have to tell you that Connie and I finally met with Jean, Ymir and Krista and formed this group of ours that was dedicated to find Eren and get some answers or anything for that matter. So we decided to work together and we developed a bond. A day or two later, I get a text that says that I should go to the school and go to the location where 'my heart' is or something. We go there in the middle of the night, infiltrate our dear school and go to the roof once again. This time Eren left us a usb. On our way out we got ambushed by a gang, or at least a few members of a gang that wanted me kidnapped so that they can sell me, since I'm royal blood and whatnot, we were able to win since they underestimated us, same way as I underestimated Jean, Ymir and Connie. Even Krista, she held herself really well, to be honest." Mikasa explained.

"What did the usb contain?" I asked as I reached my hand to her wet pussy and started playing with it.

"Ahh... a video... from Eren, ahh... god you're so good!" She exclaimed as she moaned. "He said that I... should stop looking for him..."

"And you won't." I replied.

"No I won't..." she exclaimed.

"Good..."

I pushed her down towards the bed and then went down between her legs and started consuming that wet vagina with my mouth.
She moaned as much as she could while grabbing my head and shoving it down her area. I licked, kissed and sucked her until she was ready to cum.

"I'm cumming! I'm cumming!" She moaned right before releasing her juicy cum into my mouth. I swallowed everything before I climbed on top of her and started making out with her once more.

Half an hour later we were both dressed and eating breakfast down in the kitchen.

I made some monkey bread danish.
That sticky-sweet pastry that is pulled apart to eat, preferably for breakfast. Well, in this recipe, I took that idea and made individual monkey-bread Danish. Each pastry is pieced together so it can be pulled apart, but for a twist, I always add a rich cream-cheese filling and a coating of cinnamon streusel.

I took a gander at Mikasa as I sat on the other side of the kitchen table, staring at her as she ate the breakfast I prepared for her, nervous as to how she'll feel.

"Mmm... I love it! Where did you learn how to cook?" She exclaimed.

I sighed in relief right before I started digging into mine. It really was delicious. I took a chunk of it and swallowed before answering her.

"I like cooking. I learnt this recipe from a chef called Ignis and decided to add just a little twist to it." I replied.

"Alright. That's great to hear. Annie cooking... Yea I'm gonna take my time to let that sink in." She stated.

Then Mikasa's phone started to ring again as more messages started to pop up. She took a glance at it before sighing.

"I'm late. They are nearly all there. It's only Connie that's left, besides me." She said.

"Alright then. Why don't you go now before you get even more late? Go on." I said.

"You're coming with me." She said.

My eyes shot off my plate and directly towards her.

"Excuse me?" I exclaimed.

"Yea. I want you in our gang, Annie." She replied.

"Who me? Why?" I asked.

"I want to introduce you to the gang and add an additional member into the mix the more the merrier. And who's better than my best friend/dirty partner, huh?" She asked before winking at me.

"I'm flattered. Alright then. Finish your food, I didn't waste my precious time for nothing, did I?" I asked.

"I'm already done. Look at my plate." She said before going up and grabbing me out of my chair and pulling me straight to the door.

"Hey, wait! I don't have a bike helmet!" I said.

"Oh yea... right..." she replied.

Suddenly a vision of the helmet I had from when Reiner took me on a ride a few months back was in my garage area. I told Mikasa to wait for me as I ran to the garage, grabbed it and ran straight back into the entrance, wore my shoes and headed with Mikasa out to ride all the way to the mall, where they agreed to meet at the Dunkin' Donuts since Krista somehow got Mikasa a 30% discount.

While heading to our destination, I took in the vibes and the feeling to the wind against my unprotected body. Mikasa already had the leather jacket thing all prepared.

We arrived at the mall, parked the bike and headed towards the elevator in the parking area. We called the elevator in and then we entered, all when I was on my phone scrolling through the pictures we took last night of us having sex and getting slightly turned on.

But then Mikasa shoved me towards the elevator wall and pulls the phone right out of my hand. The second I locked eyes with her, our lips locked together as well.

"That's for turning me on this morning without prior warning." She said right before shoving her lips against mine once more.

The elevator door opened and made Mikasa jolt right off, only to find out that we have arrived and no one has seen what we had done.
"I nearly got a heart attack." She exclaimed.

We walked out of the elevator and headed towards the designated store where we found Krista, Jean and the girl called Ymir all sitting together. They all looked surprised to see me.

"A-Annie! Uh... hi!" Jean exclaimed while stuttering.

"Hi Annie! Nice to see you!" Krista said all cheerful and happy!

"Likewise, Krista." I replied.

Ymir and I exchange names and greeting like any other people right after Krista and Mikasa chimed in to introduce us to one another.

Jean was sitting next to me feeling awkward and very uncomfortable especially after what I had done to him. The kid fears me to death, even though I have nothing personal against him or anything, but he did know Eren's address and I had to get it from him by any means necessary.

Our orders arrived and we began to dig in. I wasn't really hungry but I also ordered and so did Mikasa. Jean was eating silently and not really uttering any word or even making a sound.

I tapped twice on his shoulder which seemed to have startled him. He gave me a look of fear that indicates that he think of me as his predator and he's the prey.

"Why are you silent?" I asked.

"N-Nothing." He replied.

"What?" I asked.

"I-It's nothing." He replied.

"Oh really?" I asked.

"Y-Yes." He answered.

"C'mon! I don't bite." I whispered.

"Or do you?" He asked.

"I don't. Trust me." I replied.

He started to ease up and feel a little less uncomfortable by the way he looked. He stopped shaking a little bit but stayed silent.

"What can I do to... ease your mind? Get you to relax..." I whispered into his ear seductively. I wanted him to feel a little relaxed and less nervous, I thought this approach is the fastest way to do so. I wasn't planning on performing any sexual favors for him.

For that there was only one person in mind, well two. And one of them happened to be a girl who was sitting right across from me.

"N-Nothing." He replied.

"Do you want to stay all nervous and scared?" I whispered into his ear.

"Yes. I do. I like to stay nervous and scared, thank you for your concern." He replied.

I started to slowly rub my hands against his thighs under the table. Our booth was closed so nobody can see what's happening under the table, and even the rest of the gang didn't notice.

Ah, I'm such a dirty little minx, and I love it.

Jean was slowly relaxing to my rubbing. I started rubbing closer and closer to his crotch while whispering seductive words into his ears.
Mikasa, Ymir and Krista were all having a chat with each other and too busy to pay attention to us.

"Do you like what you're feeling?" I asked.

"Yes, yes I do." He replied.

"Do you want me to make you feel even more relaxed and release all this tension out of your body?" I asked, and as expected he replied with a 'Yes'.

That's when I started taking it to the next level. I grabbed his zipper and pulled it down, allowing me access to his boxers, I gently placed my hand inside his area and slowly grabbed his cock. I was surprised at the size of that thing. It was big. I started to stroke it gently while making sure he doesn't feel uncomfortable because his button is still buttoned.

"Ahh... damn that feels great." He said.

"You know what?" I said.

"What?" He replied.

"Maybe later I can give you the full experience." I stated.

"Oh yea please do." He replied.

"For now let's just relax and enjoy each other's company." I said right before pulling his zipper back up and rubbing his cock from the outside one last time.

After all that he had finally relaxed and started to feel comfortable around me. I was taking a big risk with what I did but it was the fastest way to get that boy to calm down. We both jumped into the conversation the three were having but not long after that, a bald kid arrived and was panting really hard.

"Mikasa... Mikasa... you won't believe what... just happened..." he said.

"Breathe, Connie. Breathe." Mikasa said. So that's Connie.

He pulled out his laptop as Jean and I scooted over for Connie to sit. He placed his laptop on the table and showed Mikasa a website that made her gasp all the air in the room.

"That's..." She trailed off.

"Yes... say it... say it..." Connie exclaimed.

"The necklace of the Ackermans!" Mikasa exclaimed.

"What's that?" I asked.

Connie turned towards me and said: "The necklace that is passed down in the Ackerman family from generation to generation. This item is priceless and it was stolen from Mikasa's household a few years ago. This item is priceless! Oh and nice to meet you, Annie."

"Likewise." I replied.

"How did you find it?!" Mikasa asked.

"Remember the number that was written on one of my notebooks? The one that sent us the location of that restaurant? Well it contacted me again and told me that this particular piece is being auctioned at a hotel a few hours from here. It's a remote place in a resort of some sort or something. I only have photos after all.

"Auctioned. But that's a stolen item! They can't auction that, can they?" Krista asked.

"No they cannot." Ymir said "let's go get it back!"

"Hey hey hey! All of you wait a second!" I said. "If it is a legal auction it would have been public knowledge and you only have photos, right Connie? And I think anyone of us would check that such thing is actually happening, right?"

"Exactly. I did check and nothing matches. The photos are legit though but no auction." Connie said.

"And since the necklace is there, it could mean that this is an illegal auction and the people selling it could be there." I stated.

"But who is there? What parties are involved in buying the necklace?" Mikasa asked.

"Any more photos, Connie?" I asked.

"Yea. Here you go." Connie showed more photos. Some of them show Asian men in suits. "See? These guys are the ones that are involved."

"Yakuza..." Mikasa said. Everyone looked at her confused. "Japanese mafia, you could say."

"Oh..." Jean exclaimed.

"But how are we gonna get it?" Krista asked.

"By force. We get inside. Beat everyone up and leave with the prize." Ymir exclaimed.

"Don't take Yakuza lightly at all. These guys are trained to kill and don't mess around. These aren't your average thugs. They are well organized and prepared for any situation." Mikasa exclaimed.

"Well are you gonna just stay idly by while your heritage gets sold to some crime lord?" Ymir asked.

"Of course not. But these people are strong. They can barge into anyone's house, kidnap you and kill you without anybody realizing it." Mikasa stated.

"This is our only shot! If we don't act now, we could lose this necklace forever!" Connie said.

Mikasa sighed and stayed silent for a while before she looked at Connie.

"When's the auction?" She asked.

"In 5 days." He replied.

"We'll never make it in time!" I stated. "Plus we don't have a means of transport, which means we won't even be able to go!"

"Oh, don't worry." Jean said "I've got this handled."
Jean got up and headed towards the exit. "Meet me at my place in 20 minutes." He said. "I've got something up my sleeve."

20 minutes later we headed to Jean's place, where he had a black 2017 Mercedes-Benz sprinter passenger van ready and raring to go.

He was sitting on a chair next to the house door and waving at us. When we arrived he opened the door for us to enter his house.

"So! Everybody got their weapons, backpacks and anything else anyone might need?" Jean asked, filled with enthusiasm.

"Yes we have. Everything is here. And even provisions for the road." Mikasa said. "But once we arrive there, what is our plan exactly? What are we planning to do?"

"We go in there, reconstruct the faces of anyone who dare stand in our way, get the necklace and get out." Ymir said. Which was a very laughable statement. Too bad I find it really hard to laugh most of the time.

"That's a very stupid plan. But I believe it's stupid enough to work." Mikasa stated which made me raise an eyebrow with a 'excuse me what the fuck' look.

"They are in a remote town where there most likely not to be any disturbance, and thus less likely to be carrying firearms. They won't be expecting a group of teenagers to bust in the place and kick the shit out of them." She explained.

"Here's the problem, there would be way too many of them for us to fight!" Krista stated.

"That won't be a problem for Annie and I." Mikasa stated which made me feel a warm feeling of affection.

"Plus we brought weapons." Connie added.

"True. But one problem." I said. "How are we gonna get in there without being recognized?"

"That's where I come in again." Jean said.
"We want a way to keep them from knowing our identities, right?"

"Yes." Mikasa said.

"Well I got just the thing. Check this out."

Jean brought a bunch of balaclavas for us to wear and placed them on the kitchen table.

"These... are great..." Mikasa trailed off.

"The best. They don't come cheap these days either." Jean stated.

"They're shady is what they are..." Connie said as he grabbed the grey one and put it on. "Oooh! I look very ominous and badass!"

Krista grabbed the yellow one
"Hmm... I like this one."

Jean grabbed the green
"I always wear this one so it's mine already."

Ymir grabbed the brown one
"I like this one."

I grabbed the black one which had no hole for the mouth.
"Black has always been my style."

Mikasa grabbed the red one which didn't have a hole for the mouth either. She stared at it for a while.

"You okay?" I asked.

"You know... that red scarf I used to wear was a gift from Eren. This mask reminds me of him." She said.

"Then let it remind you of your goal. And let it give you the strength of will you need. Let it be a reminder of Eren and all the struggles you fought through to get to this point." I told her.

"I will."

"Now everyone get ready! My friend Andrew is here and he's gonna drive us to our destination. Now all aboard!" Jean said as he opened the door and headed towards the van where a guy just slightly taller than Jean and with shoulder length hair greeted us and offered to take our bags but none of us was carrying anything other than a backpack so we decided to keep our stuff with us.

Mika and I sat in the far back, while Ymir and Krista took a seat in the front. Jean and Connie sat in the front row and Andrew drove with no one next to him on that passenger seat.

"It's gonna take us 'till 6AM to arrive so everybody, I suggest you take your nap." Andrew said while driving with his eyes on the road.

"What about you?" Jean asked. "Do you need to switch later on?"

"No buddy. I was already dozed off all day and woke up just an hour ago so don't worry about me." He said.

In the back, I laid my head on the glass window, trying to pass the time with my imagination. But then Mikasa tapped my shoulder.

"Hey." She said. Her voice sounding sleepy.

"Heyaz."

"I brought cookies."

"I'll have some, thanks."

Her and I ate cookies alone in silence since I was already going to fall asleep at any second. I took a look at Mikasa and saw that she already did. I finished my cookies and popped up my earphones and put them on. And I started to sing along

🎵🎶 Take Me Home, Country Roads🎶🎵

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
