AN: I figured it was time to make one of these stories for myself. I'll be working on a similar one soon. Either tonight or tomorrow. Hope you love it!
OC's thoughts
Usually when someone wakes up after a good nights sleep they expect to wake up in their beds. Imagine Ethan's surprise when he woke up to the sound of waves, the smell of salt water, and the feeling of sand underneath his fingers.
His brown eyes snapped open to reveal the afternoon sun beating down on him. He squinted against the bright light and rolled over on the sand. It was sticking to his skin. Skin that should have been covered with clothes.
Ethan leaned his elbows against the sand and looked down at his body. He was supposed to be wearing his usual sweatpants, but they were missing. This allowed him to see the body that was supposed to be his, but wasn't.
It was leaner than it was supposed to be. His arms and legs were nicely muscled when they never had been before, and his stomach was well toned. Almost to the point where he'd have a six-pack.
He wasn't that into sports, so he didn't have the muscles football or baseball players would have. His interests were more along the lines of reading. These muscles were completely new to Ethan, but he wasn't about to complain. The only thing he was really worried about were the lack of…privates between his legs.
Like it was literally gone.
His penis was missing. It was just…gone. It was missing. His dick was GONE!
With an ear piercing shriek Ethan shoved himself up from the ground. The sudden height sent him falling backwards into the salty water.
He sat back up with an odd, wheezing hack that should have been an actual cough. But there was something…wrong. Something in his throat was preventing him from making the actual coughing sound. Whatever it was just made him hack even harder.
Ethan kneeled in the water with his hands placed just underneath the surface. The hacking was thankfully starting to settle down, and he could focus on his reflection underneath him.
What he saw terrified him. Possibly as much as finding out his dick was gone.
His ears stuck out of his dark brown hair a little more than before. Far enough to show they tapered off to a small point. His eyes were half-lidded, and his nose looked a little thinner. The thing that scared him the most was his mouth. The corners were pulled up into a wide smile, revealing rows of teeth that were as sharp as swords and just as long. The top row fit perfectly in the bottom. Like a puzzle.
Those jaws parted open in astonishment, and just when Ethan thought the weirdness level had reached its peak, his long and skinny tongue lolled out of his mouth.
Ethan touched the foreign tongue with wide eyes. There was no way this weird appendage could be his. It almost reminded him of a snake tongue, only in a more human appearance, and it wasn't forked.
He slurped it back into his mouth and locked it behind his pointed teeth. Just looking at them were starting to creep Ethan out so he closed his mouth. When he relaxed his muscles again his lips just grew back into that wide, content smile.
Not wanting to look at himself anymore, Ethan pushed himself back into a kneeling position. He unfortunately looked back down at his lap to see his missing appendage. With hesitant hands Ethan brushed his hand between his legs, hoping that maybe it had just been turned invisible, but there was nothing.
His hands were now shaking from the shock of the situation. Questions that needed answering were shooting through his mind. What happened? When? Who did this? Why would they do this? How could his penis just disappear without him even feeling it? No doubt it would have been painful, just the thought made Ethan cringe, but there wasn't any blood or anything to assume there'd been something there in the first place.
Ethan's eyes traveled up from his legs to his belly button. Only that wasn't there either. Neither were his nipples. It seemed every little detail of his body was altered in some way.
Not wanting to look at himself any longer Ethan raised his head to look at the land in front of him. He was expecting a large city with cars driving by on the road, and people giving him weird looks. Instead of that he found an empty beach that cut off into equally empty grass filled plains.
Grunting with confusion Ethan stood up from his position in the ocean. He noticed how far he was from the shore, and wondered how he'd travelled such a distance. Looking down at his feet he saw the water only came up to his ankles. By all rights, with the distance he was from the shore, it should have been up to his neck. Maybe deeper.
It only took three strides for Ethan to get out of the ocean. From everything he's just been through you'd think he'd get used to weird things happening, but this just baffled him even more.
Looking out over the ocean Ethan allowed the sound of the waves to calm him down. He's always loved the ocean. Its beautiful blue color, and the animals that loved inside of it. He always found myself scanning the sir face of the water to try and find either a dolphin or a whale who decided to breach the surface.
As much as Ethan wanted to stay on the beach and watch the ocean he thought it would be better to try and find somebody who could help him. The first thing he'd need to do before that was find some clothes. Only, Ethan looked down for a brief moment before averting his eyes, he supposed there was nothing to hide. Unless he wanted to cover his new body traits.
He chose a random direction and hoped it was the right one. There weren't any landmarks to tell him where he was, and as he grew further and further away from the ocean the more he realized how loud his steps were.
Each time his foot hit the ground a loud boom sounded over the plains. He wouldn't have given it any thought had it just been small thumps, but these were ridiculously loud.
He pushed those thoughts away when he saw something moving on the horizon.
Ethan picked up his pace so that he was running, and as he covered more and more ground it became apparent that his steps were much louder than before, and his breathing stayed the same. It didn't become labored like it usually would after running for an extent amount of time.
As he came closer and closer to the object he noticed it was really tall. But the weirdest part about that was the fact it came up to his chin. The thing also had a head, two arms, and legs.
The fact that this thing turned out to be a person sent a wave of relief throughout Ethan's body. He feels like he's been walking forever without a sign of life to be seen.
The person he was coming up to was naked. Internally Ethan wondered why, but he didn't judge since he wasn't wearing any clothes either. When he was close enough he set a hand on the strangers shoulder and tried to ask who and where they were, but all that came out were garbled grunts and growls.
His dilemma was pushed to the side when the stranger turned around to smile at him. Ethan's eyes flickered down, and widened when he saw that the stranger looked just like him. No privates, no belly button, and no nipples.
This dream was really starting to creep him out.
The strangers arms were actually disproportional to his body. They were longer than they should have been. Their ears were normal shaped, and their eyes were glazed over. There wasn't a single spark of life to be seen in those eyes. The persons mouth was set in a smile similar to Ethan's, only his teeth were more human like.
The mans mouth opened, and Ethan expected to hear them say something like hello or who are you, but instead he gave a drawn out moan. Ethan watched in disgust as saliva starting dripping down his chin.
He took a wary step away from the creature. Everything about this situation was not sitting well with him. First his dick goes missing, then his belly button and nipples, and his face gets altered into a creepily pleased look. All these characteristics match the creature in front of him.
It all reminds him a lot of…no…Ethan looked down at his boy once more for some sort of confirmation. It reminds him of the anime Attack on Titan. He had watched the first season about a year ago, and really enjoyed it.
There was only one more thing Ethan needed to know before confirming his suspicions.
Placing both hands on the creatures shoulders Ethan spun it around without any trouble. He released one shoulder to bring back his arm. His fingers curled into a fist, and with one more moment to aim he launched his fist forward to punch the creature in the nape of its neck.
The creature immediately dropped to the ground, and Ethan watched as its body started steaming before slowly decaying until nothing was left.
He shook his fist from the pain of the punch, and looked to see steam coming from his knuckles. When it cleared away any scrapes he would have had had disappeared.
That was a Titan? Ethan looked at what was left of the Titan corpse, I…am a Titan? There was nothing else that would explain what was going on. His body has drastically changed, he was really tall, and he just killed one by damaging the nape of the neck.
Is this a dream? It was very possible that this was a dream, but something nagged at him that, no, he wasn't dreaming. Usually his dreams never had so much clarity, and he could feel everything around him. He'd felt the sand on the beach and the water of the ocean. Hell, he could feel the grass underneath his feet. And weren't you not supposed to feel pain in dreams? He certainly felt some when he punched the other Titan.
The possibility of this not being a dream made Ethan feel numb. He was in another reality where giants (Titans) eat other people. A dangerous world that was never supposed to be real, and yet here he was. As one of those man-eating monsters no less!
Ethan started walking, None of this makes any sense. How'd I get here? The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in his room, and mentally preparing himself to wake up early for school. Next thing he knows is waking up on a beach in the middle of what must be an anime show. Or similar to it, anyway.
Gazing up at the sun Ethan realized it was starting to set. He hadn't realized how long he'd been walking, but apparently it's been all day. Usually after somebody walks all day they'd be somewhat tired, but not Ethan. His breathing was completely normal, and his feet didn't even hurt.
Knowing he would need to find somewhere to rest, but not comfortable with staying out in the open, Ethan kept his eyes trained on the horizon for any signs of trees that he could take refuge under. Deciding to test his limits he broke into a sprint. From the looks of things he was able to run at full speed without any effort.
If only he'd been able to do this before!
He must have been running for a good ten minutes before a group of trees began showing itself on the horizon. Ethan shifted in the direction of the large forest and continued running.
He must have covered about twenty miles before he finally made it to the trees he'd seen. His body felt fine, and his breathing was a little heavier,mouth otherwise he was fine.
It appears the body of a Titan is very fit, Ethan noted.
Ethan wandered into the forest, and immediately noted the difference between these trees and the trees he was used to. Their trunks were so thick he couldn't wrap his arms around them, and they were so tall they could've been mistaken for small skyscrapers.
When he could no longer see the endless plains Ethan found a tree thick enough to lean against. Since they were all rather big he found one almost immediately. He sat down on the forest floor, and leaned his head back against the bark.
His smile widened a little more when he noticed the thousands of stars that littered the sky. Sure if your stood in your backyard and looked up you'd see a few stars here and there, but this was breathtaking.
During his hunt for familiar constellations Ethan's eyes threatened to drift shut. He tried fighting against it, but it was all for naught. They slid closed without finding a single familiar star, and had anybody been around to see they would have been astonished to see a tear slide its way down a Titans cheek.
