Chapter 1
'…This is for your protection…'
A young child whimpered and tears fell from her eyes as she watched the needle break her skin as her father injected the serum into her arm. She could feel the thickness of the cold serum enter her bloodstream. And as soon as it had begun, it was over.
'Was that so bad?' her father asked as he placed a hand against her cheek and wiped away her tears. 'It is only to protect you from the outbreak.'
'…but I thought I was leaving to go train with the Cadets."
'You are, but this is just to make sure that nothing evil ever befalls you…'
She slowly opened her eyes as a single tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped the tear away as the memory of her father faded from her mind's eye. What she would not give to remember more about her father and even her mother. Did she have any siblings? Where had she grown up? Were her parents kind people? Yet all of this only raised more questions.
Questions she could not answer on her own. Then there were the other elusive memories that would come and go from time to time –
Running for her life from something or someone…
Stumbling in darkness…
Finding protection in the arms of young man with grey eyes who vowed to always protect her…
Perhaps someday she would be able to unravel the mystery to who she was and what had happened to her.
So until then, she would just have to go by what she already knew.
She was Alena Vagner and as of yesterday, a major in the Garrison Regiment.
And as of today, she was a major in the Survey Corps.
AN: I know that this is simply the first chapter to a story. But please give it a chance, it does get better! I promise! This is my first Shingeki no Kyojin fic, so please be nice. And the only thing that is mine is Alena. It's setting is around the end of issue 70. I hope that helps!
Please let me know what you think! I promise that later chapters will be longer!
