Twelve
[Sara's PoV]
The light pours in. I yell, and it's completely muffled by the red material surrounding my face. Annie's face leers down at us from the hole she made in the Titan's neck.
Eren's eyes fly open. "Annie," he growls, though it's muffled. He pushes himself up, the red tissue sliding away with ease.
Annie reaches in, grabbing him.
I struggle, but the slick material won't let me go. Annie stops, staring at me. She reaches towards me with her other hand. She grabs my hair, yanking it.
The red tissue still wouldn't let me go. I try to shove myself up like Eren did. It fails, and I'm stuck.
"Annie, keep her out of this!" Eren yells, kicking at her hand.
Annie turns her attention back to him, still with the creepy expression. Then her eyes widen in shock.
As she slumps forward, I see that someone had slashed at the nape of her neck. The female Titan's hand fell, and Eren yelled as he hit the ground.
"No, I'm fine, get her out of there!" he said after a few minutes.
The cable shot up, the spike digging into the Titan's steaming head. Mikasa flies up, her scarf flowing behind her.
She cuts me out of the tough red material. "Thanks, Mika--"
She grabs my hair. "Stay away from him," she hisses in my ear. "Stop ruining everything for everyone." She lets me go, the same emotionless expression as always.
But something's different. She has a hint of anger in her pale face.
"Mikasa, what're you--" She grabs my wrist, shooting the cable down to the ground. She landed softly, unlike me.
"Ow!" I hiss. I leaned into my left side, since I had landed harder on my right foot. It felt like it was sprained.
"Are you okay?" Eren asks, pushing himself up. He brushes the cadets and commanders away. As soon as he gets up, though, he winces.
"I'll be fine. Are you okay?" I walk to him with a slight limp.
"Yeah, I'm good."
I raise my eyebrow. "Really? Let me see your ankle."
"You're embarrassing me..." he whined, blushing.
"I've seen plenty of injuries. Let me see it."
He takes off his boot, and I look at his ankle, immediately wishing that I hadn't. It was already swollen, and blood was trickling down from a small tear in his skin.
"All right, take him to the infirmary," I demand the officers.
"Sara!" Eren says, his face red.
