"Drip-drop, drip-drop" 'twas the sound of my tears falling onto the hard wooden floor in my lonely, cold bedroom. I strongly refused myself to stop crying, for which the news left a deep wound into my weakened heart. The blurred flashbacks recalled on my dear, loving mother who hugged me into her arms and told me that my very close friend, Eren Jaegar, has left us. The flashbacks weren't any help to make me feel better. My chest was in much more pain and more tears began to burst out. This was unfortunate because last spring was when my father had left us as well.
"What a tragic fate for him at such a young age," I thought. He was my close friend - my only friend. Eren was the only one who had protected me from other young villagers who cursed at me and made fun of me just because I was the odd one out of every one of them. I stupidly attempted to run away from home because I could no longer take the teasing. I wanted to leave the cruel world, but Eren was there. I remember every detail there was. I was on the edge of a cliff where the gentle waves of the ocean side brushed against. It was a short amount of time before I was actually going to jump off and land into the other side of the world, but then I felt a hand grip tightly on mine. I turned around and there he was - out of breath and his eyes widened & filled with absolute concern.
I shook my head to get the flashbacks out of my head. It wasn't doing me any good. As soon as I got myself together, I heard a shrieking, unpleasant, demonic scream and a 'bang' outside of my window. Each of the banging grew louder, leaving me to be curious yet scared. I carefully peaked through my blinds and let out a sharp gasp. I felt my eyes widening as they filled up with fear. A huge monstrous and muscular figure was standing in front of my window, staring right at me. I closed the blinds that I was peaking through and backed away, hoping it didn't completely catch the sight of me, but I tripped on an object and fell, thus making a small commotion. I waited for a moment to see if the beast was planning on going after me. I quickly got up and peaked outside once again. This time, there was nothing but rotting flesh vaporizing into thin air. I rushed downstairs and ran outside to what it seem was the body of the monstrous beast from before. However, within that body, there was a human body in it as well.
The villagers all were in a state of shock and made a commotion, surrounding the rotting beast's body. I, too, had wanted to know what it was. When I saw the person's body covered in vaporizing blood, I had frozen up a bit, but I went back into my senses and help the fainted body out of the mess. It turned out to be a young man about my age. I heard my mother from a distance calling out to my name, which had me startled a bit.
"_, are you alright, dear?!" shouted my mother. She sighed in relief as soon as she saw me. She noticed I struggled slightly trying to carry the young man back home so she came and helped me. Mother and I fixed the guest bed for the young man to rest on until he can regain his conscious again. Mother told me it'd be best for me to stay with him until he woke up in case he would need any assistance since she will be taking her leave into the mountains for a few days at the temple to visit father's grave. We both said our good-byes and I gave my mother a longing hug because I wouldn't know what to do if I would lose her as well. The thought of it made me sad and depressed.
It was taking awhile for him to regain his conscious again, but I didn't mind so much. Although my eyes began to feel heavy and I felt weak. I was slowly dazing off and couldn't help it since so many things all at once today. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to take a short nap, would it? I mean, it has been awhile. Moments passed by and suddenly I felt a small nudge on my shoulder. I awoke quickly, remembering that I had to watch over the mysterious boy. I rubbed my tired eyes and yawned while he blankly stared at me.
"Who're you..? Why am I here? How did I get here?" asked the young man. He sure did ask multiple questions at once.
"Um.. more importantly, what are YOU doing here in the first place disguised in a monstrous body? You nearly scared the living of everyone around here.." I rose up an eyebrow, confused at his questions that were asked towards me. "Where are you from anyway? You don't look like someone around from this village.." I crossed my arms and bluntly sighed while slightly pursuing my lips together.
"U-Uh, I was coming from a town called Tarthia.. i-it's my village where I am from. You see, I have this intense, special force in me. Whenever I get a cut deep enough to bleed, I turn into the monster that everyone and you has seen earlier. It's my Titan form."
"'Titan form?'" I glared down at him because it sounds ridiculously unbelievable to me. He seemed to be hesitant to tell me, but did anyway and he had some sort of guilt look on his face. I loosened myself up and sighed once more. However, I still wasn't going to buy his nonsense unless I would see the evidence myself. From what I saw earlier was not much for me to believe this whole thing.
"I - I'm gonna shut up now." The boy sat still and wandered his eyes around while sitting in filth from the rotting flesh.
I stared at him for a moment then began to giggle a bit. "Here, why don't I get the bath ready for you to wash up? Not only do you look dirty, but you smell.. a lot." My giggles became into laughter as I brushed sides of my hair behind my ears.
