Looking at Ymir's expression, he had guessed more or less what she is thinking. It's the same face girls have when they meet a guy with a not-so-good track record, seeing the clear look that is saying what an actor he is now, and what kind of trash he will grow into. But it doesn't matter what she thinks; who cares about the thoughts of an unknown girl?
Seeing Ymir is an unknown surprise to him. In this silent forest with the camp far away, when someone screams, it's hard to get noticed. And she, a girl, and Eren, as a boy, are alone.
"You know what happens when a girl and a boy are alone in a silent, beautiful place like this where no one can see them?" Eren said, diverting his gaze from the moon to her.
Question marks appeared on her face. What the heck is he saying? Ymir thought. But without giving her any time to answer, he continued.
"You know, in this situation, the boy makes the girl fall, and then eats her completely."
After those words, there was a silence between them. But then, after a few seconds, Ymir pursed her lips; they blew up like balloons, but in the end, she couldn't control herself. Covering her face, she burst into a loud laughter. She was laughing so loud that she covered her stomach, and a tear came out of one of her eyes.
"So, this is the good quality Krista was talking about that you have? I have to say, you have quite the way with words. But do you even know how to eat? Did your mom teach you how babies are made? And besides, you are not my type of man," she said, and leaned back, supporting her body with her hands on the ground behind her.
"Although I know how babies are made, you are also not my type of girl. But still, I am going to make you fall for me and then eat you alive," he said. His tone was a little joking, but his eyes were becoming colder and colder.
If he managed to get his hands on the Jaw Titan now, he would have one less enemy in the future. Although it wasn't in his plan to make a move on Ymir now, he thought it would be good during a Titan expedition, although Armin and Mikasa will know that the one who ate Ymir is not an abnormal Titan. But this type of opportunity will not come often; he had to take this chance, as he won't always obtain this perfect timing.
While Eren was thinking of literally eating Ymir, Ymir still didn't take his words to heart. These cliché lines would have worked on some naive girl, but not on her. Although her mental age is not sixty like her body, it's still as mature as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl's.
But to her shock, just as she didn't take Eren seriously, he also didn't take her seriously and grabbed her hand. Feeling a hand grabbing her wrist, she became a little stunned by this move and couldn't think for a moment. But Eren didn't miss that chance; for a Titan transformation, he also has some rings. Wounding his hand, he grabbed her from the waist.
"What... what are you doing, Eren?!" she tried to shout, but he clasped her mouth with his hand and, with her, jumped from the edge.
"Didn't I say that I will make you fall for me? Look, you are falling," Eren said with a laugh.
The air was whistling against their ears, but she still heard what Eren just said. What is he trying to do? Doing a double suicide, why? But she can't think anymore in this situation; survival is the priority. Although she had no thought of doing this, now she has no other choice: she has to transform, otherwise this would truly be the end of her.
But then, something that she didn't even think of happened, to her horror. The transformation started, but she is not the one who is transforming. Eren, in mid-air, let her go as a spin followed, and flesh and muscles started to form. Eren, within seconds, had transformed into the Attack Titan. In his daily training, he had mastered the Titan transformation and can transform without making much sound and without wasting any extra energy.
Ymir also had bitten her tongue and was in the middle of the transformation, but Eren can't let that happen. Although this place is far from the training camp and everyone would be asleep by now, if two Titans started to fight, it will create a large commotion, and if she, in the Jaw Titan form, decided to run, he could only watch her disappear in the woods.
Thud. A heavy punch landed on the generating skull of the Jaw Titan. By now, they had fallen into the water. With a heavy crash, the water flashed upward high, even soaking the Attack Titan's hair. Eren grabbed her head and shoved it into the water; muffling sounds started to come, along with bubbles from the surface of the lake.
With one leg, he pinned her to the lake bed, and with his free hand, he grasped her hand, which had its sharp claws scratching at the Titan hardening on his leg. With a heavy pull of the hand, spreading flesh pieces in the water, it got torn off from the shoulder. He grabbed the other hand, and the same action followed with the left and right legs.
Reduced to only a torso, Ymir inside the Jaw Titan can't understand what is going on. Just a moment ago, she was sitting on the edge and talking like it was a normal day, and now she is in her Titan form.
By now, she understood what Eren meant when he said he is going to eat her. But how had he learned that she is a Titan shifter? No one should have known this secret—she told no one. So how does he know this, and why is there another person who can transform into a Titan?
Her heart was filled with panic; she can't grasp the situation at all. The panic and pain she is feeling started to overwhelm her mind. Although they say a Titan host can't feel pain, it's only half true; Titan shifters can feel pain, and the closer the injury is to their nape, the more pain they can feel. Most shifters over time start to ignore this, but Ymir didn't have much practice and experience with the Jaw Titan.
Eren, growing hardened claws on his hand, grabbed the limbless torso's neck and punctured the nape so she can't talk. By now, the torn-off lips and blood in the lake also started to turn into steam. The lake water started to look like it was boiling. His hand punctured the neck further, and grabbing Ymir, he pulled hard; the skin on her cheeks pulled away.
Who... why?
Maybe she wanted to know who he is and why he is doing this, but she didn't get to know the answer. Before she could even finish the question, he put her into his mouth, and with one bite, her life ended and he swallowed her.
His Titan eyes glowed green for a while before turning back to normal. Ymir is dead; he can feel it, his teeth and the claws of his Titan becoming harder.
