"Eren! Eren! Wake up! You can't die on me! We have come way too far for it to all end now! Do you hear me?! Get up now! Eren!"

I could hear Mikasa screaming at me while I laid there. A sharp pain quickly filled my body, but at the same time, it quickly disappeared. Was this the end?

Thursday morning, about nine o'clock; a loud noise filled my ears as a sharp pain filled my side.

"Get up, brat. You have work to do."

I rolled out of bed, but rolled slightly too far and fell out of bed, landing on the floor. I sat up, eyes closed, thinking about the voice I had just heard. Oh, crap. It was Captain Levi and I suddenly discovered that the loud noise was my alarm clock and the sharp pain was his boot meeting my side. "You know, instead of using pain to wake me up, there is this thing called talking," I told him.

"I prefer pain," he responded, throwing open the curtains and letting the light bleed in. I rolled over and moaned as he threw a mop at me and left.

"Get to work," Levi said. I only moaned and threw my hand up at him.

I laid there for another five minutes and finally decided to move. Realizing that the mop was still on me, I threw it off as I sat up from the floor and rubbed my eyes. "Screw you, Levi," I mumbled under my breath.

Levi is above me in authority. Actually, he is my Captain. See, I got into some trouble a while ago for "Titan" reasons, and well, now he's in charge of me. He's a fairly short man with short black hair who doesn't mess around and won't tolerate any back talk, ever. Trust me.

"I don't hear any cleaning, brat!" Levi called from downstairs.

"I'm getting there!" I called back. Oh yeah, he's also a major clean freak, if you didn't know.

"Well, get there faster!" annoyance in his voice.

Standing up from the floor of my room, I grabbed the mop that was thrown at me and walked out of the room and downstairs to where Levi had the entire Survey Corps cleaning from top to bottom. I walked straight up to Levi with the mop in hand and threw it right back at him. He dodged it, of course.

"Shower first, clean later," I told him. Then I turned around and headed for the showers.

"Jaeger!" Levi spoke. "Don't back talk your Captain! Clean yourself, then you'll be scrubbing the roof 'till it's spotless!"

I kept on walking because I didn't care. Cleaning the roof wasn't difficult. I'd done it plenty of times before.

"And you will be contributing to Professor Hanji's experiments today. That means whatever she says."

That made me stop; crap!

"Awesome!" Hanji yelled from another room.

"Do you understand me, Jaeger?" Levi demanded.

I said nothing, but continued to the showers, terrified of what Hanji planned to do to me, but I didn't want to think about it. All I wanted to do was take a long shower and ignore Levi for now.

When I reached the showers, Horseface, also known as Jean, walked past me.

"So, I hear you're the main event for Hanji's experiments today," he spoke, snickering.

I hated this guy so much. Ever since I joined the Survey Corps, all he did was torment me. Jean is taller than me with black and white two-toned hair with a, well, horseface.

"Who asked your opinion?" I spoke as I walked past him. He snapped me with a towel. "Owe!"

"What? I didn't do anything."

"Yes you did!"

We were about to start a fight when Levi interrupted. "Jaeger! Shower!" he shouted at me. Neither Jean nor I moved a single muscle. That's where we went wrong, well actually, me. Levi dropped the broom that he was holding and walked towards us. Let's just say that some things happened and harsh words were said and now I have a bruise and a hurt pride.

When that was done, my hurt pride and I went to the showers to clean up for the day. I stripped, took my shower, got dressed, and headed for the kitchen to get breakfast when I was finished. When I entered the kitchen, I wasn't at all surprised to be greeted by Sasha Blause.

Sasha Blause, where do I even start with her? Generally, we refer to her as Potato Girl because on the first day of training, she was found eating a potato in the line-up. She is tall and skinny with long, brown hair and always has a smile on her face. I'm pretty sure that she tends to irritate Levi from time to time, but she is an amazing fighter, so I give her props.

"Morning, Sasha," I said as I grabbed an apple and a bread roll.

"Good morning, Eren! How are you?" she said. Yup, perky as ever.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

She started in again. "So, I hear that you have to help Professor Hanji with her experiments today."

"Seriously! Does news travel that fast here?!"

"Probably; Jean told me though."

"Damn it!" Now I was angry. "Horseface!" I walked straight out of the kitchen. I was determined to find him and then smack him, very hard.

I turned around a corner to head down the hallway, but apparently I wasn't allowed to because the next thing I knew, I was making a brand new friend with the floor. I had tripped over something, but what? Turning over on my back, I looked up to find Levi standing above me. Crap.

"Brat, you have work to do," he said. Why does this guy hate me so much?

"You know, I already have a sore side, a bruised shoulder, a hurt pride, and now I'm pretty sure my nose will be bruised because of you," I told him.

"Not my problem. Now, here's a broom. Sweep the meeting room."

"You have got to be kidding me! That room is huge!"

"Do I look like I'm the kidding type, Jaeger? Sweep, now, then the roof, then to Hanji, now." He was serious. Then he turned around and walked away.

"Aye, aye, Captain," I said, saluting him. I pulled myself off the floor and grabbed the broom. "Off to the meeting room."

On my way to the meeting room, I passed by the room where Hanji was scrubbing a window. When I spotted her, I attempted to keep my cool and hoped desperately that she wouldn't notice me because I didn't have time to chat and Hanji doesn't shut up. I must not have hoped hard enough because to my dismay, she noticed me.

Professor Hanji, crazy as ever! She works with Captain Levi and loves science and Titans. She's tall with short brown hair and glasses. Hanji is always trying to find out how Titans work, and that also means picking at me whenever she gets the chance. I try not to let her experiment on me because last time she did, she put me in a well to contain my Titan abilities; not fun at all.

"Eren!" she called, nearly falling off her step ladder. I kept walking and tried to ignore her. "Eren, wait! I wanted to talk to you!" Again, I failed.

I decided to turn around and see what she wanted. It's not like I could end up in more trouble anyway. "Yes, Hanji?"

"I just wanted to thank you for agreeing to help me with my experiments today. It means a lot to me."

"I didn't really agree. It was more of a force, but you're welcome." I could tell that she was really happy.

"Well, anyway, thanks," she spoke with a smile. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! What blood type are you?"

"Blood type?!" Now I was scared. "Why do you need my blood type?!"

"For legal, medical, and science reasons," she answered quietly. "So, can I have it?"

"No! I don't even know what it is!"

"Oh, well we can take care of that!"

I began to back up while pointing the broom handle at Hanji. This lady was crazy!

Just then, the sound of footsteps began to come down the hallway, and just as my luck would have it, it was Levi. "Jaeger!" he snapped at me. "I will not tell you again to get to work."

I turned to run. "Got to go, Hanji!" Broom in hand, I ran straight for the meeting room.

"Bye, Eren! See you later then!" Hanji yelled to me. "Hey, Levi?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you know Eren's blood type?"

"No."

"Darn it." She walked back into the room to finish cleaning.

I got to the meeting room and ran inside, slamming the door behind me. "Holy crap. I…almost…died."

"You know, I really hate that guy."

"Ahh!" I jumped and hit the floor. "Don't sneak up on me, Mikasa!" My heart was beating like crazy.

"Sorry, Eren." She said as she helped me off the floor. I took her hand and stood up.

Mikasa Ackerman; amazing. She is one of my closest friends and is an amazing soldier. She has long, black hair and always wears the long red scarf I gave to her when we were young. Mikasa is my adopted sister and the closest family I have left. If I lost her, I don't know what I would do with myself.

"So, why do you take orders from that guy anyway?" she asked.

"Don't you remember? Titan, destruction, kick in the face?" I picked up the broom and began to sweep.

"Yeah, but still…"

"Still, what?"

"You shouldn't have to take orders from him just because of that."

"Mikasa, if I don't, then he kicks me out and we'll be screwed."

"I could take him."

I stopped sweeping and looked at her. "Now, don't get cocky. Cocky gets you nowhere."

"Sorry," she apologized.

"Besides, you are both amazing soldiers, and one cocky leads to two cocky, and then chaos." I continued to sweep the room. "This is taking forever!"

"Eren, you just started."

"Uhhh!" I slumped down in a chair, feeling really annoyed. "My life sucks!"

"No, just your sweeping career."

"I don't have one."

"Exactly."

Just then, a loud crash was heard outside.

"What was that?" I asked. Mikasa and I stood up and walked over to the window. That's when we saw it, a Titan.

Titans are huge creatures that feed on humans and are never satisfied. Many of our soldiers and the citizens have fallen prey to these beings way too many times. They're not always the easiest to dispose of, but it can and has been done.

The doors of the meeting room flew open as Armin ran in. "Titans are in the city."

"Yeah, we figured," Mikasa answered.
