Okay guys this is my first SNK fanfiction so, please, don't judge me too hard if it's too crappy for you or if you don't like what you read here.
Otherwise, enjoy.
Woods are a lot darker than easy grass fields. Sometimes, you feel like you've dived into a completely other world.
I had also that thought when me and the others arrived at this place. I only looked around and wondered. I mean, yes, in Shiganshina we also had woods but the trees here were the biggest I've seen in my whole life. Actually this place seemed to be very peaceful. So peaceful that I wasn't able to trust it.
"What's the matter, Jaeger?" a voice in front of me asked. "I... I can't really follow your words Corporal..." "I don't think you're really that stupid Brat.", he gave back. "What do you worry about? Titans? Your friends? Or have you never seen a forest before?" "I have been in a forest before, but—" "Then you should probably have recognized what we can use perfectly here." That was typical Levi Ackerman again. Short and quick as always.
A few seconds before we could start to discuss that loud, we heard a strange noise behind us. It sounded like someone or... something was running after us with very hard stomps. Wait a second … running with stomps?! How is that...
The stomping noises went louder with every second. I could see the others worrying more and more with every single second. Only the corporal had his usual look on his face.
"TITAN!" Petra screamed from one moment to the other. When I turned around, I could also see him. Or better, her.
The first time I saw a female titan. I think her height was about mine in titan form. She ran straightly right to our group.
"What are you thinking about everybody, FASTER!"
I already rode my horse as fast as possible, so I continued watching this haired bunch of muscles running after us. Shit. The others failed. "Fuck, I'm doomed..." "Hey brat, what shall this be?" Levi looked at me with a look not even a monster could have. "Get yourself complete AND RIDE!" My god. We're all doomed.
The female titan first slapped one of us against a three. Then another one. One got stomped into a bloody mess. I continued riding with the others. It... felt wrong, absolutely wrong. Only one person had left fighting this titan bitch. Damn, he could never-
FATSH!
There he goes. Oh my god, WHAT AM I THINKING?! WE'RE ALONE HERE, CHASED BY A FUCKING TITANBITCH, MY FRIENDS ARE DYING AROUND ALL AROUND ME AND I DON'T FUCKIN' CARE!
I looked down on my hand. Yes, I could fight her. I could beat her. Taking the human who leads this body out of it and eat her. Take revenge for my teammates. Yeah. That sounds good.
"Jesus Jaeger what the hell shall this be?" I could hear my corporal yelling at me. It sounded like it'd come from far, far away. It doesn't matter. I will do it. "I..." He will definitely beat the shit out of me when we survive this, I thought with a small laugh."I'll do my duty as a solider." At the same moment something wrapped around my body and lifted me up from my horse.
"Holy shit-" "If he survives it I will beat the shit out of him!" What did I say? I tried to twitch out of this grip. Damn it, little miss Titan really knows what she wants. I am doomed. I couldn't move my arms. Trying to bite on my tongue also failed. Her mouth grew closer and closer. And opened wider and wider, wider as even a titan could. I'm doomed. Slowly she shoved me into her goddamn stinking mouth. I'm ABSOLUTELY doomed. Shit. Is this real? Shit. Oh shit. Shit oh shit oh shit oh shit … SHIIIT!
A moment later everything went black.
Beeeeep... Beeep... beeep...
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a bright light which made my eyes hurt a little when I opened them. What...
I wanted to stand up when I noticed a long, thin thing in my arm. It didn't hurt, but it felt strange to me. That was also the time I really saw WHERE I was. I, myself, laid down in a completely white bed. Also the rest of this room was completely covered in white, only with light grey tones if you would call it "color". Damn it, it was so clean, Levi would spent the rest of his life here. By the way... Where is he? And where are Armin and Mikasa? Or generally everybody?
"Hello?"
(And why the heck is my voice so quiet? T.T')
Trying to stand up first failed, but finally, I could get it. From time to time, the steps hurt a little, but that would go away. I knew it.
I looked back to the bed, this thin, long thing was the only evidence I was there. I should better get out of this place. One step into freedom. A second step. A third. After the sixth or the seventh step all went black again.
"...ren?"
… What?...
"Eren!"
"Come on Jaeger, do you really want to waste your time like that?" ...Wait... is that...?
"...Levi?"
"What did I say, Arlert?" „But you can't just-"
"...Armin? Mikasa... Is that really you guys?" Mikasa... Armin... Levi... you are really here with me... I couldn't help but smile. Finally someone I knew in this place. But... why was I lying in this bed? I... I could swear I left it. "The doctor said, it's too early for you to stand up, Eren." With this words Mikasa grabbed my shoulder and pushed me softly on the bed again. Then I noticed, the three were dressed very casual. Did they had a day off? No, not all three at exactly the same time. But then it meaned...
"Why are you dressed like this? Do you have a day off?" "No, not at all but-" "And why do you look then like this? Where are your 3D Maneuver gears?" "3D... What?" They looked at me with suprise. Even in Levi's face I could see a slightly confusion. "And what is with the others? Petra? Jean? And what's with that female titan? Could you catch her?" The confused look on their faces only grew with every single word I asked them. "Ehrm... Eren?" Armin slowly raised his voice. "Yes?" He... seemed like he wasn't sure what he should say. "What ,or better, who... are you talking about?"
I opened my mouth to say something but instead my eyes widen in shock while I stared at my friend. WAS HE REALLY SERIOUS?! No, no , NO "This must be a dream, IT MUST" I muttered to myself. Did they they all lose their memory, or what was wrong?! "Eren, are you-" "I AM ALRIGHT MIKASA BUT YOU AND ARMIN SEEM TO HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM!", I shouted. " I mean... did you really forget it?" "Forget what?" Armin asked. Was he really serious?
No … no … No, you should know that's impossible Eren, I thought to myself. "Are you really serious guys?" "Erhm, I guess so." Why, Armin? What have I done to you to get treated like this?!
"All these dead people... our training... the blood... the titans which destroyed the wall Maria... all your friends and family members which were eaten by them..." The whole room seemed to be cursed by dead silence. "How... how could anyone of you being able to forget these scenes?"That was when I stopped. I felt tears coming up and I didn't really want to cry in front of the corporal.
"Titans?" Levi raised an eyebrow on me. "Do you... do you mean those big, fleshy, overstrengh creatures who eat humans?" "Y- yeah...", I replied. But why did he even have to ask? Levi let out a small laughter. "Seriously Jaeger, I know you had an accident and that stuff but did your brain really crash that hard hard?" He looked at me like I told a joke or something like that. Showed emotions. Goodbye reality. My need to cry changed into a desperated laughing. "Even... even Lance corporal Levi drove crazy..." I rested my head in my hands. No, this situation isn't real. I must dream, I MUST! Or why... or what...
"Did the brat call me 'Lance corporal'?" "I also heard that..." Armin replied, making Levi sigh once again. My god. What is going on here?
"Eren."
When I looked up I saw Mikasa ruffling a hand trough my hair. Damn I have to look very desperated when she does such a thing. "Tell us Eren." "Tell you what?" I asked her. "What you think, Eren. What you want to know. You..." She looked over to Armin and Levi. " You seem to be a little confused."
Well shit. Even Mikasa thinks I'm crazy.
In this moment a doctor came in. Or better, he looked like a doctor. " I see you woke up again." With a smart smile he walked over to my friends. "And who are you?" I asked him. "Grensler my name is. I'm glad we finally meet Eren." He shook my hand with a slightly hard grip. "You know my name?" "Of course I do." His answers seemed to be quite short. "Do you have any questions? You've been away for a pretty long time." "Been away? For how long have I-"
" One Year. Seven months. Two weeks. Three days." With these words Levi glared at me. "And something about ten or twelve hours." Okayyy... He really counted every single hour I was in here? "We all three feared you would probably never wake up from this coma." A coma?
"But a few hours before I was just awake and exploring the titan-area with Levi, Mikasa and Armin and then-" I remembered my comrades getting slashed by this female titan. "Eren."
The doctor looked at me. My companions also did.
"I... don't really understand what you are talking about. I think the others are also not really able to." They just nodded. Wait... Have I really gone that crazy? No, that's impossible, it's-
"That stuff. In medicine circles it's something you'd call... coma dream. You see, no matter how damaged your body is, as long as you not die your brain stays active. And sometimes it happens that coma patients are dreaming during their coma."
Everybody looked at me. The doctor. Mikasa. Armin. Levi. They looked at me like... they were sorry or something like that. "Wait, so you're going to tell me that all was a-"
"I guess you must realize it Jaeger." Could this be? I looked down to my hand.
"Eren I know it's hard but-" No. This is impossible.
"It may sound unrealistic to you but please, you-" I guess I have to find out the truth.
"Ouch!"
"Eren ,shit, what are you doing?!" Why is Mikasa so upset?
I looked down on my hand, noticing I bit so hard on it that was already bleeding. I could taste something of it. My salty, rusty, sticky, very own dark, red blood. My hand hurt really bad. I could feel a tear running down on my face.
Shit. My whole life was nothing but a dream. Goodbye reality. I'll see you when I'm dead.
