Alrighty so here's the story, re-written and hopefully improved. I think I'm on the right track or at least closer to it. It will seem like most other fics at the start but the further the goes, the more unique it will get. Oh, and to anyone new to this fanfic then welcome! This is my first fanfic on Annie x Eren excluding the re-writing which doesn't count. Unfortunately, my writing's probably still shit but hey, I write what I want to write and I'll value all the reviews I can get. This ain't rated PG or some shit like that but you're gonna have to be patient. I'm going to try to make this story different so it doesn't look like most fanfics on AnnieXEren and follow the same story and seem boring as fuck. Hope you enjoy and stick with me throughout the story. That would be awesome, see you at the next chapter ;) WARNING: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH IT BEFORE READING THIS.

Chapter 1: The Childish

"Reiner? Who the fuck is that kid over there?" Annie asked.
"Oh, that's Eren Yeager if I can remember. Yeah, he's been ranting about killing all the titans, bit of a whacko if you ask me."
"He's throwing a tantrum like an infant, he's giving me a headache…"
"He's a refugee from Shiganshina, probably witnessed all kinds of fucked up shit after Bert kicked the wall in."
"Shhhh," she elbowed him in the abdomen. "Someone might hear you."
"Please, we're 20 metres away from everyone else," he groaned.
Doesn't excuse you for being a mindless ox. Bertholt ran over to join them.
"Hey what do you guys think of the other members?"
"Haven't gotten to know them yet," Reiner replied.
"I don't want to get to know them, I'll probably end up hating every single one of them."
"That's pretty harsh Annie but you have a point. Can't get too close to any of these demons."
"Do you really believe any of that bullshit Bert? Marley just fed us that to brainwash us, these guys aren't demons, they're brainless morons," Annie snapped. Especially the boy with the green eyes. Thinking he can kill all the titans, how naïve. Yet there was something different about him, not that she cared.

Or do you, a voice whispered in her head. She paid no attention to it, it was a side effect of the incredible burden placed on their shoulders…. To kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Reiner and Bert had them too, although they couldn't handle it as well as she. Bertholt had a weak mind and Reiner… Well they'd have to keep a close eye on him.

"Alright slackers! Time to get into line!" a voice boomed. All heads looked towards the source. A tall, bald man wearing a trench coat and a permanent scowl.
"You just going to stand there like dumbnuts or are you going to move?! If you're not in place within 10 seconds then you lose dinner privileges for the next 3 nights! Do you hear me?!"
"Yes sir!" the recruits shouted back.
"My grandma could shout louder! I said DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
"YES SIR!"
"Alright scumbags, from now on you'll know me as Commander Shadis and before you give up and start whining to your mothers about the training you're about to be put through than know this! Those titans don't give a fuck on how shit your life has been, there will be no pity cards, no sympathy and above all no mercy!"

Annie risked a look around. Most of the recruits had fear plastered on their faces.
Pathetic, she thought. Her eyes landed on the Yeager kid, there was a fire deep within him… No, not a fire, an inferno. An inferno that wouldn't be extinguished until it achieved its goal. She couldn't tear her eyes away much to her frustration. Something about him had captured her. His jade eyes flitted to meet her blue orbs and she managed to snap out of her trance, just managing to hide the blush starting to creep up her cheeks.
What the fuck? Am I blushing? That isn't right, maybe I'm sick… Just stay away from that loser.

Reiner nudged her, "Checkin' out Yeager eh?" he wriggled his eyebrows. Annie just rolled her eyes.
"He is pretty hot," Mina whispered from her other side. Annie genuinely wanted to die.
"It's not like that," she hissed.
"Havin a little chit chat are we maggots?!" Apparently Shadis had finished torturing a guy named Connie and had caught the three talking.
"All of you have toilet duty for the rest of the week! Hopefully, that teaches you not to gossip while I'm talking!"
Annie sighed. Fuck this, Reiner just had to go flap his mouth about some stupid fantasy that doesn't exist.
Haha, but is it a fantasy, Annie? The demon whispered. Luckily for Annie she hadn't done anything that she was majorly guilty of. She had just sat on the sidelines while Bert and Reiner did the wall stuff. She could hush her demon quite easily. She sighed again, the next few years were going to be long and tiresome and chances were, she wasn't going to enjoy one bit of it.

Annie didn't bother with toilet duty, Reiner and Mina could enjoy themselves. Besides, if either one of them called her out on it than they would end up sprawled on the floor for everyone to see. Annie was confident that her fighting skills were easily superior to everyone here. She looked around the mess hall trying to find something interesting to look at other than the slop they called 'food' sitting in front of her. Her gaze eventually landed on Eren. No! For fucks sake he isn't interesting.
Sure about that? The demon chuckled.
Nothing but a babbling baby, a pathetic excuse for a soldier at most.
You're a terrible liar.
Fuck off. The demon chuckled and withdrew into the back of her mind, she could still feel it but its already had its fun… For now. Her father's words echoed in her mind.
Do not let anyone get close to you! Do not let anyone break down your walls. If they do, they will bring you nothing but pain, grief, and sorrow. If you wish to return you must not let anyone into your heart!

I intend to stick to those words father, I won't fail you. So, she tore her gaze from Eren, who was happily laughing with Bertholt, Mikasa, Connie, Armin, etc. She would rather be laughing with them she admitted. It beats having to listen to a queer, a crier, a glutton and gossips. Why are they even here? I thought this was the military… How amateur. She was sorely disappointed in most of the women here, they lacked strength. Except for the rare exception such as Mikasa and possibly Ymir? Annie didn't know and she didn't care. They were all blind in one way or another. God help us all, Eren probably brainwashed Mikasa into believing his rants.

I genuinely want to die. Can't there be some half-decent people around here? She silently pleaded.

Sorry that it's short, there are some longer chapters along the way, this is just a starter. See you next chapter :D.
