Everything was normal, on the first night in the mess hall, for the 104th Trainee Squad. Micheal was one of them. He was a quiet fifteen year old, and he was the oldest out of everyone there. He was only as high as Reiner, and he was unnaturally fit. He had a dark, and mysterious past. He never told anyone, as he was very secretive. He had a scar down his left eye, and his eyes were faintly red. They were mostly dark brown, and he was usually someone to not mess with. People only knew that, until it was too late. He walked across the Mess Hall, and every table was occupied, except a table with a flood of people around someone. he walked over to it, with his head looking down. Then Jean Kirstein said something that annoyed him.

"Hey," Jean said, after Eren Jaeger said that he wanted to join the Survey Corps, "Seems like someone wants to die." Eren got off his seat. Then Jean looked around lazily, and saw Micheal walking towards the table. "And there's Scar-Eye, joining in." Micheal stopped walking, as 'Scar-Eye' triggered him, and everyone started looking at him. Micheal looked up very slowly, in the direction of Jean. Jean looked extremely surprised, as he saw two completely brand new shiny red eyes, glaring at him, like he was a person Micheal hated. Then Jean went pale, as he saw Micheal walking towards him. He stopped right in front of Jean.

"I dare you," Micheal growled, "To say that again." Then the bell went. Micheal had only ate half his plate, as he put it down, and walked out.

After, Micheal just sat on his bunk, and looked down at his hand. He stared at a metal silver ring, around his index finger. He pushed something, and a small blade pushed out. Blood covered it, as it had not been cleaned ever since it's first kill. "Why did you do that? Back there?" Eren asked, as he looked up, at Micheal. It startled Micheal, so he quickly flicked the blade back into the ring, and looked at Eren with faint red eyes.

"I did that," Micheal said, "So people don't underestimate me." Micheal laid back on his bed, and closed his eyes.

"Do you want to be friends with us?" Eren said, completely careless about the three year age gap.

"Sure. I'll give it a try." Micheal replied lazily. Micheal opened his eyes again, and sat up. "Where?" Eren pointed at his bunk. Micheal nodded as he jumped off his bunk. he then climbed up to the bunk, and found Mikasa and Armin there too. It was awkward for a moment, until Eren started a conversation, about intentions after graduating. After that night, everything in Michael's life changed. His personality changed from depressed, to a normal state. His face started to smile more, but he still had his scary side with him. He became great friends with the trio, but he always knew that one of them were always watching him closely. He always had a feeling, that someone was watching him, secretly. He always tried to find the person who was watching him, be he was always too late, and the person would get away. Someone was stalking him, and he didn't enjoy that. He soon had an idea who it was.

"You ready?" Michael yelled, over to Annie Leonhardt, as he was paired up with her, for Hand-to-Hand combat. No injuring each other, the commandant said. Annie and Michael agreed that they would disobey that rule, unless the Commandant was either watching them, or near. Annie's eyes narrowed as she nodded. She looked really determined, to get the wooden knife off Michael. She charged, and Michael effortlessly dodged her attempt at kicking Michael in the shin, and Michael flipped Annie over, and held the knife in front of Annie's throat. He was sitting on her groin lazily, as he rested there, with her arms pinned behind her back, and the knife touching her throat. Annie sighed, as she tried resisting, but she couldn't get her hands free, and her legs were useless, because he was heavy.

"You won," Annie said, with a sad tone, "Again. You're good. Where'd you learn that?" Micheal got off Annie and dropped the knife. He looked her straight in the eye.

"I taught myself," Michael replied, "I'm independent." Annie was surprised by the answer. No wonder he was so good, she thought, he makes his own techniques, and he masters them. She was so amazed. Michael just picked up the wooden knife again, and tossed it at Annie, who caught it. They both nodded, and Michael charged at Annie, this time, and slid around her, and took her off her feet, turned around, and snapped the knife out of her hands. He put his foot on her stomach, and Annie felt embarrassed. She didn't like losing. She angrily got up, and looked at her shoes, as the bell rang to change activities. They both shook hands, and walked in different directions. Annie to Reiner and Bertolt, and Michael to Eren, Mikasa and Armin.

Eren was brushing himself off, as they met in the Mess Hall. "Last day," Michael said, starting a conversation, "Man, it's been that fast." Eren nodded, as he nervously looked at his food. The three were not looking at him.

"Michael," Eren said, "Have you been friends with anyone else?" Eren looked up slowly. Michael was confused by the question. Why would they be asking him this?

"Yeah," Michael replied, "But with not a lot of people. Well...I'd say Reiner, Bertolt, sometimes Marco, and Annie. Why?"

"Like...You could be spying on us..."

"What do you...mean?" Eren sighed. "You still don't trust me do you?" Eren slowly nodded, then Michael nodded. "Okay then. If you want me to leave, I'm fine with that." Michael got up, and started walking out.

"No, Michael," Eren yelled after him, "It's not like that! It's just..." Eren sighed again, as he just wanted to ask some questions. He sadly sat down.

"Great job, Eren," Mikasa whispered, "Now there's a better chance of him being our enemy." Eren looked at Mikasa, with a smirk.

"No, you're better than him!" Eren said, "Aren't you?" Mikasa shook her head.

"I don't think so," Mikasa replied, "He's on another level. It'll take me ages to reach his skill level." The bell just chimed, as she said 'Skill Level'. The three walked out, and were about to get ready for the Graduating Ceremony, until they saw Michael stroll out of the cabin, with everything packed, and himself already ready for it. He had his head down, like he did three years ago, with his red eyes, like flares in the night. He looked sad and angry at the same time. He walked past them, and looked over his shoulder smirking horrifically. He then moved his head forward, and took out the bloody blade out from the ring. He then walked around the corner, and was suddenly sad. He was about to cut his thumb, when he suddenly stopped. Annie walked around the corner, and didn't notice him there. Then Michael got up, and decided to let her know he was here.

"What are you doing here, Annie?" Michael said. Annie stopped, and turned around. She saw the blood, all over his ring, and saw that he was bleeding, in his leg. Her eyes widened. Michael looked down at his pants, and saw nothing. She glared at him, and kept glancing at his pants. They were getting soaked. Michael looked at his pants again, and knew she was hallucinating. Something must've happened to her. He then thought to walk away, when she ran towards him. He was shocked by the whole ordeal, that he didn't bother to move. She tackled him to the ground. Michael laid there startled, and confused by what's happening. She then punched him in the cheek, and ran away. "What the fuck was that? Fucking crazy bitch," Michael whispered to himself, as he recovered, "That wasn't even her best punch." Michael sat up, and looked behind him. Mikasa was standing there. He got up, and looked behind Mikasa, to see a normal Annie getting ready. Maybe it was me hallucinating?, he thought. Then he noticed she stole his spare ring. It was a trick. She is going to use it for something...Michael had a little clue as to what.

"What are you doing, Michael?" Mikasa asked. Michael shrugged casually.

"Let's just go," Michael said, "Are you ready?" Mikasa nodded. Just as Michael started walking, for a split second, Mikasa thought that she could see his legs in muscle. She frantically shook her head, and walked next to Michael.

"Everyone else! Look! These are your top 10! Look at them, especially Michael, because he nearly perfected all his results. He exceeded them, and Mikasa Ackerman was close behind!" The instructor shouted. Michael was first, and Mikasa was second. Afterwards, Eren started saying about what he's going to join. Thomas Wagner, started to exclaim about joining the Military Police for him. Eren said a speech and left out, with his eyes producing tears. Michael stepped where Eren was, after he left.

"Look! If he wants to join the Survey Corps," Michael shouted, "He can! You can't force people!" Michael jugged his drink, and threw it on the floor.

"What are you going to join?" Connie asked. Michael wiped his mouth, and looked at everyone.

"I'm joining the Survey Corps, too," Michael said, "It's better than doing nothing. Because if you do nothing, what's the point of being a soldier?" Michael walked out, where Eren walked out from, and sat next to Eren. "Eren, don't listen to them. They're mostly idiots." They all looked at Michael and nodded, then looked at the stars...
