CHAPTER ONE

YEAR 845

"Everything went falling in front of my eyes. I cannot bear the pain of seeing my family die in front of my very eyes. As the titan gradually lifts me from the ground, causing pressure on both of my legs, I slowly fade into the blackness, accepting death's invitation right at my doorstep, everything suddenly fainted into white"

"Ugh. Where am I?" Alexandria woke up to the rays of the sun hitting her porcelain face. Her black hair cascaded upon her shoulders, and her eyes, cerulean blue eyes with the color as deep as the ocean, gradually squinted to adjust to the sunlight. Upon scanning her surroundings, she realized that she was in a small room, with a single chair and desk to across her bed. Her right arm was bandaged up into a sling, and there were bruises scattered all over her legs, with bandages on her left hand. As soon as she saw the said wounds, everything started flashing back at her. The death of her family as well as how she was almost killed by the Titans, slowly came back, flooding her mind. As soon as tears threatened to fall down her cheeks, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"May I come in?"

"Yes, please." Alexandria responded to the female voice.

The door opened with Hanji carrying a new set of clean clothes and bandages.

"So, you're awake now. I hope you had a good rest. It must be tough fighting out there, huh?" Hanji smiled as she sat on the chair across the bed.

"I suppose so." Alexandria replied in monotone, still replaying in her mind the events that happened earlier, before a single tear betrayed her pride.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up the subject." Hanji panicked, upon seeing the girl silently crying. She comforted the girl and gave her a hug. "There, there. Don't worry, you are safe now."

Alexandria silently let her tears fall from her face, as she held on to Hanji. At that moment, she vowed that that would be the last time she'd every cry.

….

Meanwhile, Corporal Rivaille and Commander Irvin were discussing important matters in the office.

"So, how many casualties do we have after the breach on wall Maria?" Irvin asked, his voice grave.

"About more or less 10,000 casualties commander. I am afraid that the refugees would be the cause of the food shortage of those living in wall Rose, the Trost district to be exact. However, there were some lone souls who were brought to medical care, presumably those saved by the Survey Corps who just came from the mission" Rivaille replied, showing no emotion on his face.

"I see. How many were brought to medical care?"

"About 10 sir, 6 adult males and 3 females, including a little girl about 12 years old were tended to and taken care of."

"I see. Has the little one lost her family, or were they included in those who were brought to medical care?"

"I am afraid that she was the only one left alive when I found her unconscious, sir. I plan on handing her over to one of the refugees to be taken care of."

"Good job, Rivaille. With that set aside, we shall now aid to the others in helping the refugees. Please assist the others. I will be planning another expedition in a few months' time, as our recent mission has failed. It was also ordered to assemble troops that would be coming back to attempt a retake on wall Maria, along with the other refugees."

"Yes sir."

It has been a year since the fall of wall Maria had happened, with the Titans taking over Shiganshima. The refugees that were brought to wall Rose caused tremendous food shortage, by which the adults and other elders were forced to come with some soldiers to a mission to retake wall Maria. However, it ended up with more than 250,000 casualties, covering almost a fifth of the total population, with only 100 survivors, resulting in tremendous loss.

Alexandria trotted around Trost district, intent on registering to the training for Recon Crops. She had had enough of the Titans messing around with people, after a century of peace, now this. "But would enlisting in the military make me satisfied? Would it avenge the death of my family?"

As Alexandria was lost in her thoughts, Hanji popped out of nowhere.

"Oh hello, we meet again! It's been a while now, but I can see that you're in top shape!" Hanji smiled down at the girl, while patting her head.

"Oh thank you very much, miss. I had forgotten to also express my gratitude when you tended to me a year ago. I am Alexandria Drei by the way." Alexandria smiled, as she extended her hand to Hanji.

"Oooh pretty. I am Hanji Zoe, member of the Survey Corps. I am in charge of researching all about Titans you see." Hanji replied cheerfully, with a glint in her eyes as she said the word, Titan.

"Hmm… She seems pretty much interested in Titans." Alexandria thought, smiling at Hanji.

"And I am assuming that you will be enlisting to the military right now, eh? Well, good luck future soldier! I'll be expecting you in a few years' time. Do your best!" Hanji slapped Alexandria's back enthusiastically, before preparing to wander off.

"Take care, Hanji-san!" Alexandria called out, before enlisting.

It's been about three years after Alexandria has enlisted, and as they were having their practical examination, Keith Shardis, who is in-charge, is busy assessing his students. He started from Armin, up to Eren. And as he got down to Alexandria, his thoughts pondered on what kind of grade he shall give the girl. "This girl has got the skills and stealth required to be a successful soldier. Is able to dodge and block while giving tremendous amount of offense as needed. However, it is seen in her eyes that there isn't enough dedication needed by a soldier in order to fulfill his duty completely. Lacking dedication, she is seemingly like a killing machine without a heart" And at this, the top ten students were announced.

Graduation Day

Graduation has finally come; many soldiers have fallen during training, but some still prevailed. Fortunately, Alexandria was one of those who succeeded. They were deemed as the 104th batch of Recon Corps. However, she was not included in the top 10. Much to Alexandria's dismay, she simply shrugged it off and was about to walk away when Keith Shardis called her.

"Alexandria Drei!"

"Sir, yes sir?" Alexandria replied with a salute.

"Congratulations on graduating as part of the 104th batch. However, I offer my condolences on you not being able to be included in the top 10." Keith said gravely.

"It's alright sir, I am now contented that I have graduated without fail. What matters to me most is being able to contribute into saving humanity." Alexandria replied in a firm voice.

"Indeed, however it seems to be a waste. I was about to give you the first place in the top 10, however you still lack dedication soldier. Although you might say that you are determined with your goal, there is something in your eyes that hinders you from using your whole potential. And that is what I want you to discover."

At that point, Alexandria's resolve crumbled down into confusion.
