Hello everyone! I decided to rewrite the first chapter of The Lonely Angel. After reading the first chapter I felt like it was kinda…bad and maybe that was the reason why I didn't get a lot of people reading after the first chapter so I decided to rewrite it in a different angle. I think it's better than the first one I wrote and If you happened to read both of the chapter please tell me which one you like better. Thank you!
My squad and I lifted ourselves on top of our horses, feeling slightly exhausted from the unusual amount of titans we had to kill today. Irvin rode his horse next to me, giving me a side glance.
"I wonder why there were so many titans today Corporal?" He asked quietly, his body bouncing up and down with the horse's steady gallops. I just continued to look forward not feeling like starting up a conversation at the moment. Irvin didn't push the conversation any further, eyeing the wall that was slowly coming into better view. Everyone watched while the wall became larger causing us to loosen up for we could already feeling our warm baths and somewhat hot dinners in view but as we reached the gate to wall Rose everyone quickly stopped, our horses neighing from the sudden command.
"W-who are those people?" I heard Petra silently say sensing her concern that was strung throughout her words. Sitting on our horses I could feel the worry in the air but it was understandable, ahead of us there was a small group of people four of them being men while the other was a young woman, her body dangling in one of the man's arms while she panted heavily. I watched closely while her brown eyes opened slowly connecting with mine. Involuntarily my body stiffened while her pink lips struggled to give him a message but when her mouth made out the word 'help' my body quickly commanded my horse to race towards the group. Pushing myself off of the horse I stood in front of the group who looked like they had just been through hell and back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked loudly making sure to give them all a cold look but before any of them could answer the ground shook violently and the men's eyes went wide. Whipping my body around I found five titans shadowing down on everyone. Gripping the handles on my blades I drew them out, ready to attack, but before I could launch myself into the air with my 3D maneuvering gear the girl grabbed my shirt, stopping me. Clicking my tongue I glared back at her, yanking her hand away from my body.
"Stop." She said before smiling and pushing herself away from the man, standing up.
"J-Juliet-" The man tried to stop the girl but she just smiled at the guy before resting a hand on my shoulder.
"You and your crew have fought hard enough for everyone today." Stepping in front of me she slowly walked towards the titans and past my crew. I jolted forward ready to stop that stupid brat but was held back by her companions. Looking back at them I saw one of them shake his head telling me it was okay.
I brought my head forward again looking over to my group making sure they were all right before adverting my eyes back to the girl who was now facing the titans her legs struggling to stay up.
"Maybe we should stop her?" One of the men said making me grip my blade.
"No. She's already decided to help, it's the least we can do for her after what happened." My eyes shimmered in the sun. If this girl ends up killing my crew I won't hesitate to chop off all of their heads.
The girl closed her eyes taking in a deep breath and everyone watched with anticipation, the world around them becoming silent as the titan reached down to her. Grunting I swung out my blades running as fast as I could but was suddenly blinded by a light that spilled from the girl's body stopping me in my tracks while the light engulfed the whole area blinding everyone.
I watched, amazed as the gold light surrounded the titans. The thunderous screams from the monsters entered our ears as the gold light formed little people that danced around the large figures. Squinting my eyes I struggled to take a look at the girl. Her long black hair violently whipped around with the streams of her golden glow, bright flowers that looked like the sunlight surrounded her feet, her arms outreached towards the titan's hands giving it a light kiss before the glowing abruptly stopped. Everyone trembled from the sight of golden specs floating to the ground, taking up the spaces where the titans used to be.
The place was quiet no one dared to make a noise for my group and I were at a loss of words anyways. Everyone who witnessed this event would agree that such a girl looked as though she came from the heavens. Looking at the girl, wide eyed all I could hear was my rapid heartbeat while she turned around, smiling at us. My breath hitched in my throat while I watched her brown eyes close and her body tremble before lightly falling to the ground, her white dress cascading around her. My legs suddenly remembered how to work, running over to her body I bent down and picked her up into my arms walking back over to my horse. Finally regaining my usual self I somehow managed to get on top of my horse with the limp girl still incased in my arms. Looking back at my crew I gave them my normal look, almost reassuring them before turning around and signaling my horse to continue forward.
"Lets head back." I commanded while passing the men that were accompanying the girl with worried looks on their faces.
"Make sure you bring them along too." With that said I hurried back to headquarters trying to cool down my head with the wind that passed by. Feeling the girl's body move with the horse's gallops I looked down at her peaceful face before brining my eyes back up.
At that moment I had no doubt in my mind that she could be some type of blessing that was brought to us. But that wouldn't be like me to think that, would it?
bLLAHHahaha I hope I was able to keep Rivaille's personality throughout this chapter. If not…I apologize.
