Enemy ~Closed RP~

Why didn’t he look away, why couldn’t he? That was his friend in the hand of that Titan, his friend who had been cut up and made to be fed to a pure Titan. That was Bertholdt, squirming and struggling as he had no way to free himself, no way to shift. His pleas were falling on deaf ears, or so it seemed. The others simply watched, seemingly as horrified as he was, but none of them could see how much Israel wanted to spring into action, slice the nape of Armin’s titan and rescue Bertholdt.
But he just watched, like he was frozen to the spot. Watching as he was placed in the mouth of the Titan, listening in a frozen stupor. He made eye contact with the warrior, staring into the eyes of a man who was truly afraid, someone who knew he was at the end, and denied it with every fiber of his being. Once the screaming stopped, Israel shuddered, falling to his hands and knees. The others quickly rushed to free Armin from the Titan body, but Israel couldn’t move.
His body rejected the string of emotions flowing through him, and spit it up in a physical form, leaving Israel breathing heavy and shuddering, eyes watering as the stomach acid escaped him. That was his friend, his ally. He had watched him die without doing a damn thing about it. How many people was he going to let die to keep his own secret. How many more times was he going to let himself be controlled by his fear.
After calming himself down and taking time to breathe he made his way up the wall, finding Armin laying with the others, unconscious. He stayed well away from them all. A boiling hatred built in his gut for the blonde. He shook his head, freeing his head of the homicidal thoughts flowing through his mind. He took the time to sit himself down at the edge of the wall. He had more pressing matters to worry about. Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and Hanji were about to head to Eren’s old home, and what they’d find down there frightened Israel. What secrets would they unveil down there? What would this mean for him?
