Summary
Bertolt wants to save Annie.
Chapter 1: Shiganshina
He knows he is alone and outnumbered, in will and strength alone
He looks around and foresees his fate, his doom they all dreamed
He has seen his war chief fall and his former comrades die by his hand
He should have known his side would lose the battle and now the war
He looks over and sees his only friend reach out to him with bloody hands
He hears his friend's pleas as he is slain by humanity's strongest soldier
He knows they will kill him without a second thought after what he did
He stares at his last victim with much regret, innocence burned away by him
His tears fall as his long deserved fate comes close as they close around him
His fear blinds him as his mind settles on his image of ease, his heart's desire
Her small figure and ocean blue eyes hidden by her long blond bangs
His despair always brought her to his mind's forefront, even for mere seconds
He lifts his head, his sight returned, his goal and mind set for her only
He hears the taunts of torture and slow death from those he once called friends
He opens his watery eyelids and becomes the monster they feared him for
