I stared out of the dusty thin glass and into the rusty town of a world I wasnt apart of. I was never apart of this stupid world where humanity was threatened by giant man eating creatures. I wasnt this woman named Petra who everyone called me. I was myself. Tears gathered up in my eyes as I thought about Japan, My home. I then started to wish I had never made contact with her.
It started out one evening. I was a college student studying psychology trying to get by in life. Minding my own buisness, doing my own thing. That was until I bumped into someone. In the split second that we bumped shoulders, I realized she looked awfully like me. She had short hair up to her shoulders, wore a cropped brown vest and fainted white collar shirt along with ragged brown pants paired knee-high black boots. It was obvious she wasnt from around here. Confused, I took off my headset and turned around to take another look. I watched as she stopped walking and turned her head to look at me. Chills ran down my spine as we both made eye contact, I felt something that seemed to connect me to her. Her eyes, filled with pain pulled me closer to her. Suddenly from the side, a car had turned the wrong corner and was heading straight for the sidewalk where we stood. It all happened so suddenly, that the only logical thing to do was to help her- I was afraid she would get hit. But little did I know, that the one who was saved, was me.
"Ah You're awake", said a brown haired boy as he entered the room holding a tray of food.
His slender but broad shoulders caught my attention. His triangular face carefully outlined his figure and his green eyes glistened in the sunlight. I hurriedly wiped my streaming tears as he walked in. He could tell that I had been crying.
"Eren right? Thanks.", I gave slight smile as I accepted the plate.
I remembered his name because he took care of me for the first few days that I was here. He told me stories about how I helped him on his first day when he joined the special something squad. Stories about how I assisted some captain in attacking a titan and much more. This all seemed like a joke to me but I maintained aloof in case something were to happen. In a world I didnt have a clue about, I had to understand the situation I was in before acting rashly. I looked at the plate in slight disgust, the same old stale bread from two days ago. I reached for the stale bread and took a bite.
"So Petra, Just how did you end up out there? You know, on the field.", He asked walking over to sit across from me. I swallowed the piece of bread slowly and began to remember.
After being pulled in by that woman, I blacked out because of the pressure. When I had opened my eyes, I was already on the ground of some field filled with people dressed in green capes on horses. My bag and everything else I had brought with me had gone missing except for my clothes. And the woman who dragged me into all of this, had dissapeared.
"I dont know", I replied back to him.
I continued to eat the food until I became full. Soon after, Some people walked in and talked about something i didnt understand. Something about a meeting in the court room. They handed me a dusty uniform in which looked very fimiliar. Thats when I realized, Petra was the woman who resembled me. The woman who dragged me into all of this. Judging by her clothes, She was apart of this world and somehow dragged me in taking her place. But then again, It all seemed too impossible.
I got dressed in the uniform and looked at myself in the dusty mirror. The people here called me Petra but I knew the truth, I am Rose Yamagi. I stared at myself from side to side. My hair was way longer than hers. My skin was much more lighter, and voice was different. In the end, I didnt seem like Petra at all. But they couldnt see that. To them I was Petra who supposedly was some skilled solider.
In the courtroom, I sat still in a chair in which I was tied to. I couldnt even make a sound because of how tight the cloth was on my mouth. Confused of the situation, I looked over at Eren who sat quietly and nervously in the audience. Whats going on? Why are they doing this to me? I thought to myself as more people entered the room. After a good 10 minutes, The doors closed shut and a man stood before me.
"Now that everyone is here, We should discuss the true identity of Ms. Petra Ral", he announced. The crowd whispered and I felt the pressure seep into my skin. What was it that they were talking about?
"As you all know, The Special Operation Squad has lost some of it's members during the hunt for the female titan.. And one of the members they lost.. was Petra Ral",
My eyes widended, Lost? Impossible. I had just met her in Japan, I touched her arm. Just then a man quite shorter than me with black hair and grey eyes walked in front.
"It's true. During the hunt, In order to distract the other titans from following us, we sacrificed the dead bodies of the deceased members." He looked at me with an expressionless face and proceeded to continue.
"I watched the bodies get dumped myself. Petra was one of them that I kept a watch on", His voice had a slight tremble but he remained calm.
"Then she must be a titan shifter! Just like Eren, She hid her identity hoping to kill us all inside the walls!", yelled out the crowd. Others began to agree with that statement and started to chant,
"Kill the titan! Save the wall! Kill the titan! Save the wall!".
I looked around nervously and slowly started to panic. Was this the end for me? Was I going to die as Petra who already died once? Tears started to stream down my cheek as I prayed for my life. Suddenly from behind me a voice called out,
"Petra isnt a titan!", That voice was fimilar. It was Eren.
Eren stood up and walked towards the center of the room. He looked at Levi who seemed a bit surprised about his actions. Behind Eren, stood a black haired woman with short hair wearing a red scarf.
"If she was a titan, why would she have waited this long to destory us? She had the chance to blow everything during the female titan hunt and the fall of wall Maria but why did she wait this long? Besides, Petra never failed to stay loyal to the squad.", Eren looked over at me and gave a smile. The black haired woman then walked out from behind Eren and spoke,
"I trust Eren. Whatever he believes is right, I will agree with him. I've seen Petra train. If she was a titan, It wouldnt be that hard to kill us considering how fast her reaction time is.", She stood confidently and stared right into the judge's eyes.
"T-That's nonsense! A titan is still a titan!", yelled a priest from the side.
"Please! If Petra really is a titan who is planning to kill us, Mikasa and I will not hesitate to kill her. I will even give up being in the special operation squad.", Eren yelled out. The crowd gasped in shock. They couldn't believe Eren would go this far to prove the innocence of an imposter. He looked over at Levi who stared straight into his soul. Without hesitating, he knelt down and held right hand towards his heart. Soon after, Mikasa joined. Then a blonde haired man about the age of Eren stepped out from the crowd and knelt too.
"I-If Eren and Mikasa believe this is right, Then I will too!", He yelled. Eren and Mikasa looked over at him hesitantly joined.
I looked at the three who stayed kneeling. Why were they doing this? Because Im Petra? Were they doing this because they wanted to save me? The Judge stayed hesitant, not knowing what to do, he looked over at Captain Erwin who had been observing the situation for awhile.
"C-Captain Erwin! What do you feel about this?", He asked nervously. Erwin laughed before standing up and walking towards the center. He scanned the room then stopped at me. He then walked over and began to untie the ropes around me. Everyone in the room gasped,
"C-Captain what are you doing? This-This is dangerou-"
"If she really was a titan, She would have already turned into one the moment you all tied her up to escape. Yet she didnt did she?", he looked over at Levi then the judge who stepped back not knowing what to say. After a few minutes the judge cleared his throat and let out a deep sigh,
"It seems.. that Ral will be in the care of Captain Erwin.. and Eren. I hope you two will keep an eye on her well".
The three imediatly stood up. Eren hugged his friends in celebration. I looked over at Levi who stood there piercing his eyes into my soul. It seemed like he was going to kill me any second. Just then Eren helped me up from the seat and gave me a hug. Surprised, I stood there not knowing what to do. They werent my friends, They were Petra's.. and I wasnt her. But If Petra really is dead.. Why did she bring me here and what does she want me to do? I wish I could've ask her myself.
