Note: Advanced apologies for the OOC's.

And here it is folks! Since Humans VS Titans is about to end it's first volume, it's about time I kickstart this spin-off so it'll end fast and then HVT volume 2 can start right away. As promised, the title is Humans VS Titans: Little Soldiers wherein the main character will be no other than Annie Leonhardt. And of course her friends, Reiner and Bertholdt and a little bit of Zeke. I couldn't tag him because his name wasn't in the characters saved.

So yeah, this'll be a prologue for now. A continuation of where the original series left off. If you don't remember seeing this first part that I will simply copy and paste from the last time, it's in Chapter 20.1 from the HVT volume 1.

WARNING! NOT BASED FROM THE MANGA OR ANIME! JUST BY MY OWN IMAGINATION! BACKGROUND STORY, YEAH, I JUST MADE IT UP! SO BEWARE! BEWARE!

PROLOGUE:
SLAM!

All groups ran towards the direction of the flare the moment they saw it. Maybe it was because of hope that they clinged to the thought that Levi fired it but deep inside there was this doubt that keeps on telling them that it wasn't Levi. Either way, they hoped.SLAMS!

The door slams open and shots were fired. Warning shots. I was able to spot the child they were hiding. She refused to look me in the eyes though so I just smirked instead. This'll be interesting. But looking closer.. there's not really much kids. In fact.. there's only one kid.

"Where's the rest of 'em?"

"There's no one else." replied Lionhart.

"Oh really? No one else? Just her?" I cock my head at his daughter. "You're willing to sacrifice her for every other child's sake?" Lionhart didn't seem to be interested to have a chat with me though. He gave them his deadliest glare. I chuckled and slammed my fist on one of their wooden tables. "Stop messing with me and tell me where the other kids are!"

"..."

"Alright.. you asked for it!"

It didn't take that long for us to massacre each and every friend of his and there I began to see him cower in fear. It was so easy to break him. I thought that it would take longer actually. I kicked him and beat him in front of his daughter. My female friend held on his daughter so she won't interfere.

"Father!"

"Hey pops, you're going to die next if you don't tell me anything!" I warned him. "Well?"

"Please.. please give me time!"

"Hmm?"

"I'll- I'll offer you the greatest soldier you'll ever know!"

"I'm listening."

It must be one of the most disgusting kind of parenting I've ever seen. But who cares? As long as we win.

The man crawled towards his daughter, pulling her from my comrades, I let him take her and gestured at my friends to let the kid go. He then pushed the child towards me while he knelt down. The little girl looked at me with innocent eyes but at the same time full of confusion and wonder.

"She's the greatest soldier?" I asked as I raised my brow.

"T- The greatest one you'll ever know!" he exaggerated. I know he is. "I- I will train her! P- Please spare me!"

Ah well, this is ridiculous. But whatever. "Sure. Give her back to us in three days. We'll put her in training with the other kids." I say, bored. He wasn't as interesting as I thought. But this child though, looking at her stare more closely I can see that it isn't innocence. It was something else entirely.

Her father pulls her by the shoulder so that they can look at each other face to face.

"Annie... I- I'm..." he wanted apologized as he hugged her as tight as he can, but he couldn't. She didn't hug him back. She just stood there like a doll letting him embrace her. "I'm sorry."

"Why is everyone... dead?" she asked without a hint of fear, anxiety or any feelings at all.

"We killed them, kid." I tell her. I wasn't bothered telling a kid that since she didn't seem the type of kid that is bothered by details like this. Just what is she?

"Why? Why did you kill them?" she asked but she remained in her father's embrace. He couldn't lift his face from her shoulder, too humiliated and ashamed as a father who is willing to give her own daughter's life to spare his own.

"They were in the way. We only wanted you." I answered. She didn't say anything afterwards. Just what did she want by asking those questions? This child...

She the returned her father's hug at last. I couldn't see her facial expression because her back was turned to me but I know that she's not showing any form of expression. Just a point blank one.

"It's okay..." she tells him softly. "I love you."

For three days, that man trained her daughter as hard as he can. I don't know what was on that man's mind. But when I came to pick up the girl, he asked to say goodbye and so I let him.

He hugged her tightly once more. He was crying, he was ashamed as a parent to do this.

"Annie." he says. "Your dad is the only one on your side." he whispered to her. Would the child even believe that? "Annie. I was wrong." he then said afterwards. The little girl's eyes widened as she listened to his final words to her. "It's too late to ask your forgiveness. But there's one thing... I want to ask of you." she listened intently as he spoke. "So promise me... that you will return."

The kid froze.

"I promise... everything will be back to normal once you come back. You, me... we'll live our lives far away from all of these." he added. I couldn't tell if it was a lie or he really wanted that. "So please... please promise me, Annie."

The kid said nothing.

"Annie?"

Her father wanted to see her face, wanting to know if she was angry, if she resents him. The child merely looked him in the eyes with a point-blank expression. She's been that way ever since that night we raided the bar.

He didn't expect her to answer anytime soon, he hugged her once more before letting me take her away. We heard her father's cries from the distance we made from the house, she stopped to see the house once more, still no feelings or whatsoever.

"Do you want to say goodbye now?" I asked if she changed her mind and wants to suddenly say something to him.

"I couldn't make that promise to him." she says. "Because I could die to where you'll take me." she paid no attention to the house anymore and locked her eyes with mine. "I don't want to be a liar like him." those words were filled with bitterness as I sensed it. "I won't make promises I can't keep."

"If you say so, you brat." well, can't be helped. This kid is something, ain't she?

We both walked towards my horse and were on our way to the rendezvous point. So that I can take her to where we train little soldiers we call... Warriors.
