Disclaimer: I do not own Attack on Titan nor its characters, only my OC(s).
Not sure when I'll update, maybe if enough people ask I will. It also will loosely follow ideas from the Manga. Mainly, just my OC's story, which will transition back and forth from flashbacks, if it gets confusing let me know. Constructive criticism, is always welcome. I hope you enjoy and let me know if you're interested in continuing this story.
I awoke to my parents arguing again.
"You're putting us all in danger Ryuu, get rid of those books and stop speaking such nonsense, if you're not going to do it for me do it for Fay", I heard my mother say.
"The truth needs to be uncovered, Alida. I just need to make sense of what these books are trying to tell me. Could you imagine a world without Titans? I need to make the world a better place, especially for Fay and you. I want to leave this world knowing she can finally live her life free, without fear, without being confined by these walls!" Papa retorted.
"The titans have taken over the lands, you need to stop putting those ideas in her head. It's bad enough you're going insane about this, but not Fay too, she's only 7! That world is over, she'll never see life outside the walls, we're safe here and that's all that matters, but not if you keep those forbidden books and crazy theories. That's treason, you know the punishment for that!" She exclaimed.
"These were my familiy's and I'll be damned if I were to throw these away. My father left these for a reason and I'm going to finish what he started." I heard my papa argue.
"Alright, Ryuu." I heard her say defeated. "You win".
My parents have been fighting for a while now, ever since grandpapa died. Momma is always upset and doesn't really talk to anyone. She sleeps a lot and I hear her cry sometimes at night too. Papa always makes time for me though and reads to me from the books grandpapa left, those were my favorite.
One day momma was just gone, it was after that argument they had, I heard her shouting saying, she couldn't handle it anymore. That she was living with a traitor and that it wasn't worth getting killed over. She always blamed Papa for not thinking our little family was enough, but I think she just wanted a way out. I just hope she's happy now, wherever she may be. I do miss her sometimes.
Papa put down the lantern as he was putting me to bed he asked, "Fay, you ever wonder why you look different than most of the other kids?"
"It's because I look like you papa!" I said happily.
"Yes, honey, but my mother and father both looked like us as opposed to your mother", he added.
"I guess, but I got mommas eyes!" I said.
His face fell, I knew he missed her, the expression on his face every time he looked into my hazel eyes, showed it. All his research in what grandfather left him made him obsessed with finding out the truth of our existence. And momma couldn't handle it, she thought it was treason, that he was going against the king. He meant well though, he said he did it all for me and I'd never forget that.
"Yes, well we're what you call oriental, the last of our kind", he added.
"Of course Papa, the last of humanity", I grinned.
"No, sweethear-" he was cut off by a banging on the door.
"Military police, Ryuu Hisashi, we have a warrant for your arrest!" I heard a man say from outside the door.
"Faylinn, I'm going to need you to hide, you know where? He asked.
{He never said my whole first name, he always called me sweetie or Fay, something was wrong}
"Yes Papa, but why? Who are those people?" I asked as I followed him towards the door.
"Coming!" He yelled.
"Faylinn, just go hide and if I don't come back, just know I love you and always will. Go to the Adler's house once everyone is gone, make sure everyone is gone though. The Adler's will know what to do. He whispered.
"I don't want to go Papa I want to stay with you." I pleaded.
"Faylinn just do as I say" he added.
"OPEN UP, OR WERE TAKING YOU BY FORCE", the guy said again.
Before I knew it, I heard people breaking down the door and saw them tackling him to the ground.
"Papa!" I yelled.
"Fay, go NOW!" He yelled.
My legs grew weak, I started crying and felt like I couldn't move. I didn't want to, what were they doing to him, he did nothing wrong. He was just being Papa. First momma, now they're taking Papa away from me?
"FAY!" I heard him shout.
"I love you Papa," I whispered.
I ran towards my room, grabbed the lantern and got in my closet, the door to Papa's private study was located in there. I opened the latch and once I was inside I set down the lantern, and locked the latch behind me, just how Papa showed me. I leant over to pick up the lantern when I slipped on the steps and ended up falling down them hitting my head on the floor beneath. I wasn't always the most graceful.
To be fair those step were slippery.
I awoke on dirt and not in my father's study. My back ached and then I realized where I was, I tried and mustered up as much strength as I possibly could and realized my left arm was in immense pain.
I readied my 3d maneuver gear, when I felt the land move.
"Shit, shit, shit," I thought to myself. I tried moving my left hand at least, but it just wasn't budging.
"One grapple hook it is." I settled on.
You see, a titan was coming and it was either, end up regurgitated by one of those monsters or end up dangling from a big ass tree and look like an idiot. I chose big ass tree and life. If by life, I meant hoping someone else would fly on by and notice me or hope that the titan would get bored with me and walk away, ( Survey Corps' finest). Neither would probably happen, but was still hoping the first could. In the mean time I had to figure out how I was going to at least get back to being right-side up again. I need to get to much higher ground. Thankfully, it was just a 7 meter titan, of course no titan at all would have been best.
"I could swing onto the branch, or try to climb it with one hand," I thought to myself.
"Swinging it is!" I said to myself.
Just as I start to swing I see someone coming through the branches of the other trees. This person glided with ease and was easily able to take out the titan. The titan fell to ground and vapor started pouring out from said floor titan. I saw a figure make it up to the branch i was dangling from.
"What are you doing, idiot?" He asked.
"Well, dangling from a tree, kind of stuck here," I answered.
"I see that," he said simply.
"Well, if you see that could you help me up?" I half asked.
"I take down this titan for you, and not even a simple please, tsk?" He scoffed.
"Nevermind Levi, I'll just do it mah damn self!" I exclaimed.
"You don't hav-", he was cut off by my shrieking. I ended up loosening the grapple hook, and before he could finish his sentencing I was falling, again.
Before I hit the ground I managed to send out the grapple hook again, but didn't take into account how much I was flailing. I ended up hitting my head on the trunk of the tree and everything went black. I never said I was graceful.
