Summary
"Four years old with my back to the door. All I could hear was the family war…" Cyrena has watched her family fall apart, now she plans to hold together the only pieces she has left but if she can't let go of the past, there is no way she can move on to the future. Not to mention, her family might not want to have anything to do with her. After befriending the all-around sweet heart, Armin Arlelt and his unpredictable, seemingly psychotic friend Eren Jaeger, also their Amazonian accomplice, Mikasa, Cyrena might have a new definition of family. Just as soon as Cyrena is sure of this, everything starts to slip away.
Hi! So this is my first fanfic and I'm super excited, please read and review, otherwise I might get bored and stop writing. Then again, I might not, I'm a mystery like that. I made up a few things about the show to fill some grey areas, though I obviously don't own the show so I don't think I need a disclaimer. ArminxOC ErenxMikasa but also sort of ErenxOC. And here's the preview...
Preview
The flames illuminate our faces, turning Armin's fair hair into a glowing halo around his face. The fact is inevitable: we were born to die. Ash and debris are floating around in the air, polluting whatever struggled breaths I manage to catch. My lungs are fire. My chest is fire. Everything around me is engulfed in flames. But still, at this moment everything is so beautiful. The titans are swarming at the bottom of the foyer, their moans are collecting in the high ceiling and then echoing back. The smell of burning flesh is as ripe as Fall harvest. This is the end. I know I've said it a million times before, but this is it. There is no escaping, there is no avoiding. Even now, though, that fact doesn't scare me. Armin takes my hands and my heart starts to race faster, his eyes are wide and intense, but soft and forgiving.
Tears roll down my eyes.
I'm going to die. I think. Oh God. Armin puts his other hand on my face and wipes the tears from under my eye, and in that moment everything clicks. All the scattered pieces fall together in a flash before my eyes.
I'm seeing who I am.
