I do not own Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin in any way or form, same goes for the characters. How ever I do own my OC Madelin.
Scream in The Name of Freedom!
Chapter 1
Armin's POV
I yawned sitting up as I rubbed my eye's glancing over to my side looking for Madelin, only to see her gone once again. Looking around not freaking out this time, I went over to the closet opening it to see her curled up in the blankets she always had laying out. In her hands was the new book she had been saving up for, for months. She was in love with the thing, it never left her side. Even though she had finished reading it weeks ago, she would always read it over and over again.
Smiling to my self, I leaned down shaking her slightly. "Madelin, time to wake up." hearing her groan softly; I laughed to my self. She never was a morning person, in truth she is very scary in the morning. When I had first met her, she was sleeping in a ally and had blood running down her arm and nearly killed me.
-Flashback-
3rd Person POV
The sun was just now rising over the walls and Armin was going to get Eren and Mikasa. They had planed on going down the river, helping set Festival up for the night. He was almost to their house when he saw a girl asleep in the ally, blood running down her arm and mud all over her dress. Freaking out he ran over to her shaking her, a little to hard. She snapped up and grabbed Armin's arm twisting it around pushing him into the ground. Pulling out a small knife she glared at him. "Don't you fucking touch me! If Dalen sent you, you can just tell him that if he doesn't leave me alone I will find him and kill him with my own two hands!" she hissed, "But you might have to wright it down..." a dark look came over her face as she said those words.
"No no no! Wait, I-I don't know any Dalen! I j-just saw that you were bleeding and wanted to help! I-I'M SORRY!" Armin scrammed for his dear life.
Blinking at him, Madelin realized he was telling the truth and now it was her turn to freak out. "Oh my god! I'm so, so, so, sorry! I-I've just had a really hard time! Are you okay, I didn't hurt you did I?!" Letting him up she looked him over for any cuts or anything, finally satisfied she sighed and looked at him a small smile on her face. "I'm Madelin!~" she said holding out her hand then she noticed the blood and freaked out again. After she calmed down again, Armin took her to Eren's father, who banged her up.
Thanking him swearing one day she'd find a way to repay him.
-End of Flashback-
"Please just a little longer~" she whined pulling the blankets over her head. Rolling away from him, Armin sighed. 'So it's one of those mornings...' he though opening the door even more he grabbed Madelin's feet and started to drag her out of the closet along with the blankets. Once he had her laying in the middle of the room, he ripped the blankets off of her, "Nuuu, Armin stop it, it's cooooold!" she screeched snapping up, her pail blue eye's in a slight death glare. Giving a weak smile he ran out of the room not wanting to face her wrath, "I'll be waiting at river!" he yelled running out grabbing a book.
Madelin blink rubbing her eye's.
Madelin's POV
Sighing I rubbed my eye's, "Well I'm up now..." I mumbled standing up placing my book on the bed, as I put the blankets back in the closet. Cleaning the house up a little before cooking breakfast for Armin's family,(who insisted I call them mom, dad, Grandfather, ect. I think they thought it would make me feel more at home or something. I didn't really care, but I did it anyways.) it was my promise that I had made for him letting me stay here; I would clean and cook. Once I was done I made a small lunch for him and head out to meet up Armin and the others.
3rd Person's POV
"Armin this book it amazing!" Eren said looking threw the pages. "Eren Jaeger be careful, it's very old, it could rip at anytime!" Madelin said slapping him on the back of his head as she sat down next to Armin, "You must treat it would care!" Rubbing his head Eren pouted mumbling something out her insane love for books.
"So, Eren are you still planing on joining the Scouting Legion?" Armin asked in a small voice. "Yah, I'm tired of living like livestock! I mean, what's the point of even living at all if you can't be free?!" Mikasa didn't look pleased with his answer. Sighing Madelin took Eren's face in her hands and gave the darkest glare she'd ever done.
"If that truly if you're wish in life, then you better damn make sure you don't die the first time you come face to face with a titan! Or I will drag you back from you're grave and make you're undead life a living hell!" she yelled at him, Eren looked so freaked out all he could do was nod. Armin stared down at the ground, "I agree with Eren, everyone thinks we are safe in the walls, but...they could fall at anytime..."
Not even a minute after he said that, a bright yellow light came threw the sky hitting the ground making it shake. Their head's snapping up to where the light had hit they saw a titan's head looking over the wall, "No way." Mikasa breathed out.
"That wall is over 50 miters tall!" Eren stared in shock.
"Armin..." Madelin said grabbing ahold of his arm.
"Y-Yah.."
"Next time...you think about saying something like..." she looked at him, "DON'T FUCKING SAY IT!" she screamed, then looked back at Eren who screamed about his mom running off to their house. "Armin go get home and get everyone to the next gate!" she yelled and ran after Eren and Mikasa. Armin stood there wanting to go after her, but he did what she said.
Mikasa's POV
Eren screamed as we saw his mother being eaten by the titan as Hannes ran away with us. Turning my head away I saw Madelin running up to us, "Hannes!" she yelled.
"Well don't run to me run the other way!" he yelled back, eye's widening as she saw the titan that had been following us. Sliding across the ground turning around; she picked up the pace, for a bit of a lazy person she could run rather fast when needed. Eren had closed his eye's tears still falling. I didn't really know what to do for him, I just wanted him to smile again. "But how can someone smile after seeing that." I said quietly to my self.
After running all the way to the other gate Hannes put us on the boat along with Madelin who went right to Armin and his Grandfather making sure they were okay. Armin looked like he wanted to come over here, but he stayed where he was sitting down next to Madelin.
Armin's POV
Sitting down next to Madelin I could feel her shaking slightly, I knew she was scared; who wouldn't be! I reached over to hug her lightly hopping she would clam a little. As she leaned into the hug she closed her eye's looking slightly calmer, but it was still hard to tell. Not long after she had fall'n asleep, even with all the had happened; she still could sleep in peace.
Madelin's POV
It had been about 4 days now inside the Rose Wall. The people here was nothing but ass-holes. "I'd like to their faces while they watch titan's eat their family and destroy everything they love." I hissed glaring at the people looking down on us. Armin looked freaked out that I had just said that out loud, or it could had been the fact Eren just picked a fight with two Gerrison members. Personally, I wanted to rip their head's off, even more so when they snapped at me.
"What the hell did you just say brat?!" rolling my eye's I walked over to them and kicked both of them were the sun don't shine. Eren froze and Armin stared looking like he would pass out at any time.
"I said, I'd like to see you're goddamn ugly bitch faces when titan's take everything you love from you! Then if you little bitchy whore's aren't dead or scared to death, then come back and talk to me!" I snapped at them, they looked pissed but also looked like they were going to shit them selfs.
By now people around us had looked over to see what was going on. Ignoring them I grabbed our food and pulled the others away with me. "Damn assholes, their lucky I didn't to more then that to them."
Once we where out of sight from everyone, I let go of them and shoved the food at them sitting down with my own. "M-Madelin you should'n had done that!" Armin says to me,
"Same goes to you Eren!"
"Well I'm just so damn tired of them acting like they are so damn high and mighty! We're all human here, meaning were all food in the eye's of titan's!" I hissed at him, Armin backed down and I felt a pain in my heart. I'd never snapped at him before, and I didn't mean to now, I was just really pissed. I'm sure he understood, but it didn't make me feel any better. I was about to apologies, but Eren was having some fit about killing titan's.
Staring as Mikasa shoved a pice of bread in his mouth he started to cry. I looked away staring at the ground and sighed leaning back on the wall. I could kind of understand how he felt, but, yet I couldn't. I hadn't really lost anything, sure I hadn't see my brother in years, and I never knew my parents. So I moved on, then I met Armin, sweet, kind, shy, and scared, but he was still brave. After he did save me, twice no less!
-Flashback-
I had been living with Armin and his Grandfather for a month now, they were both so kind to me. Armin was really sweet, sometimes he would help me make a cake or something if we had the time and the money. For he's Grandfather's birthday we planed a small get to there.
I was on my way home from getting some small things, and that's when I saw him. Dalen, the ass-hole who cut up my arm. He was just standing there, but he was starting right at me. My heart started to beat really fast as I started to freak out. I didn't want him to know I knew he was watching me, so I just stayed close to the other people out on the streets making it look like I was still shopping. Hopping I would come across a Garrison member or something. As the day grew later he was still following me, by now I felt like I was going to die with the way my heart, I was freaking out so bad. Instead of going back to the house I headed to a old building not to far away from the market. I didn't want Armin or his Grandfather to get stuck in his. Looking around for anything I could use as a weapon, I heard him set foot into the building. "You're looking lovely Maddie~" he said in a soft yet dark tone. "Where's you're brother?"
Glaring right at him I replied, "I don't know, he left a year ago."
"Awww, poor baby Maddie is alone now?"
"Maybe." I hissed gipping the pipe I had found.
He laughed lightly, "Still a bitch I see."
"If anyone if the bitch, it's you." he frowned and come closer to me a evil in his eye's. Once he was close I hit him as hard as I could with the pipe then kicked him to the ground running out. But only to come face to face with the hard ground, "YOU WHORE!" he screamed and pulled out a knife cutting the word, 'bitch' along with others into my back.
Someone must had heard my screams cause I heard a gun go off and Dalen scream out in pain. I tried to keep my eye's open, I only got a glance of Armin standing there with Eren and hit father as he was grabbing the gun from him yelling stuff. That's when I blacked out.
When I woke up my back was in so much pain, I hissed and told my self to get up anyways. As I glanced around the room, I could tell I was at Eren's house. Pushing the door open I saw everyone else talking with each other. When Eren saw me, he ran right over to help.
Eren's father was the one to tell me what happened when they found me. It turned out that Armin had gotten worried when I didn't come home, so he went as asked Erena and Mikasa to help look for me, and Mr. Jaeger came along.
I had told him about my past, not including the part about my brother. So he had some what of I idea of what might had happened. When Armin saw Dalen cutting me he took the gun from Eren's father and shot Dalen in both shoulder's and a leg. I'm sure if he hadn't been looking for me, I'd most likely be dead or a sex slave or something.
-End of Flash back-
"Madelin?!" shaking my head I saw Armin staring at me with worried eye's. "What?"
"You phased out."
"Oh sorry, just thinking of some stuff." I replied giving a small smile but it faded, "Hey guys...I'm going to join the 104th Trainee Squad." Armin's eye's widen staring at me in shock. "After I already know You're going Eren, and I'm sure Mikasa is going with you, am I right?" I asked glancing over at her.
"Where ever Eren goes I go."
"Even to the bathroom?" I asked smirking as a light blush covered her cheeks, I could even see Eren blush slightly. Armin just let his head drop at me comment.
"N-No!" she stuttered.
"Well you said, "Where ever Eren goes I go." so I'm just say'n. You need to word that better~" I laughed as she huffed looking away.
"I'm going too." I froze looking at Armin who could only give a weak smile. "Family has to stick together after all." I smiled at him.
Later that night I sat with Armin under a tree looking up at the stars, "Do you think they will be happy with us joining the Military?" he asked.
"who?" I asked
"Mom, dad, and Grandfather..."
"I'm sure they would be worried, but they would also be happy we are doing what we think is right. Following our own path in life." I replied softly and leaned on him closing my eye's.
"I guess so..."
Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
A/N: Omg I haven't done a chapter that long in ALONG time. I don't normal to OC stories anymore, but I wanted to wright something SnK and I couldn't think of anything. Plus I'm working more on detail work. Trying to make them feel more real I guess.
When I read really good stories I see it all playing out in my head and it's like I can feel what they are going threw. That's what I'm trying to do with this one. That can get better at fights and stuff. :)
So thinks for reading, I you enjoyed it! Please R&R!
P.S. For those who are wondering why I am following the manga/anime a bit, I'm kinda lazy to write my own story line right now. Yes I know it's not like me! I'm sorry! .
MERCY OUT!
