Chapter 1
Mikasa walked alongside Eren Jaeger and his father, Dr. Jaeger out of the woods. She was cold, her head throbbing in pain from being knocked out by one of the traffickers. Mikasa buried her nose into the crimson colored scarf. She felt dizzy, and wobbled down a hill.
"Are you alright?" A voice said.
"She's in shock, and she has some minor injuries, but we'll get her fixed up when we get home." A deeper voice said, Dr. Jaeger's.
Home. Mikasa shuddered at the word. Is that what he called it? She couldn't possibly call it home. The only home she ever imagined was safe in the arms of her mother and her father. It was unbearable, the whole damn thing. The world is a cruel place…
Lost in her thoughts, Mikasa didn't see herself standing at the foot of a door. It was a small house, nothing special, but neither were any of the houses around this one. Mostly made out of wood, but they all seemed cozy. Better yet, they were far away from that cabin she'd now call hell.
Dr. Jaeger opened the door. Mikasa smelled a delicious aroma of soup. She'd recognized the smell; it was the same soup that her mother would make after her father came back with a bird he had called groosling. It was delicious, and they would all eat in the small table of the dining room, and afterwards she'd go to sleep after being tucked in by her mother…
"Hello darling…" A woman said from inside. Mikasa looked up at the lady, who looked almost exactly like Eren. She seemed horrified, and then Mikasa remembered that she was looking at an Eren covered in blood, the worried expression of Dr. Jaeger, and a strange little girl with her face bruised up.
"Grisha, what is this? Has Eren been in a fight? Who's the little girl?" The woman began to question Dr. Jaeger incessantly, glancing at Mikasa and then back at Eren. Grisha looked at Eren and Mikasa.
"Eren, show Mikasa to your room while I talk to your mother."
Mikasa looked at Eren, and he grabbed her sleeve. "Come on now."
Mikasa and Eren walked down a hall into a small room. It was similar to hers, but now it was dark, and the wind blew inside the room. She shivered, and Eren shut the window.
"I guess you'll be sleeping here with me since we hadn't really prepared a guest bedroom." Eren laughed nervously, and Mikasa stared at the floor. Eren examined her face.
"Nothing that can't be fixed. I'll get you a cloth for your head." Eren disappeared through the dark hallway, leaving Mikasa alone with only the dark room and the muffled sounds of Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger along with running water.
