AOT: An expedition outside the walls (chapter 1)

by XxcherrychubxX

Akemi and her friend are part of the survey corps. They are miles away from formation and left having to survive with dulled blades, tired horses and no supplies and the worst part is, they are being chased by an abnormal titan. NOTE: this chapter contains no real characters from AOT but they will feature soon I promise ;)

The 100th expedition outside the walls

"Hyah!"

I kicked my horse hard and hoped that it would run faster. The abnormal was fast approaching. It ran on all fours at a terrifying speed.

"Dammit" My friend Akemi yelled. She loaded her flare and fired the red signal into the sky. It was ironically hot for a day like this. The sun was almost mocking us.

"We have to go faster!" I yell across the wind.

"We can't! The horses are already going as fast as they can and our blades are dulled!"

" Our ODM gear?" I say with dying hope.

"Does it look like there is anywhere near us that we could even use it?"

She's right. We are on a green plain that stretches far into the horizon. We are hopeless. We are miles away from the rest of the survey corps; all we have to defend ourselves with are dulled blades and flares.

"That's it!" I yell.

"What?"

" I have a plan, 2 dulled blades are the about the same as one sharp one right?"

"Yes?" she says suspiciously

"You still have a flare left, right?"

" Yeah, here, catch!"

I catch the flare just before it escapes my grasp. I reload my flare gun.

" I'll blind him temporarily then we both hit it where it hurts!"

"WHAT! That's crazy! We might not even hit it with the flare or our blades and if we fail-"

I know just as well I'm grasping at straws, but we either fight or we die. Or as a friend once told me, "If you win you survive. If you lose you die. If you don't fight, you can't win."

I look Akemi right in the eyes. We lock gaze for a couple seconds, then she nods, she understands.

" I trust you."

I nod. I turn round the wind has started to pick up and it distorts everything not in my focus. Unfortunately the titan is my focus. I aim the flare gun right in between his crossed bloodthirsty eyes.

I feel the horse slowing. I am now sensitive to everything. I am alert. I am dangerous, but more importantly, I am ready.

I inhale, and when I do I take aim and when I exhale, I fire. The titan squeals. Everything slows down. Akemi and I jump in synchronisation; we twist and ready our blades our green capes swirling in the wind as we slice through the wind
