Chapter 1: Lost And Found
A little girl named Annie Leonhart tugged her red wagon behind her as she walked the streets of the familiar suburban neighborhood. Her blonde hair was pulled up in a messy bun and she was clad in a pink sundress with matching pink thong sandals. She yawned as she wandered around looking for something to occupy her time.
She had already visited her friends Reiner and Bertholt for snacks and she had already went to karate practice with her frenemy Mikasa, so what was left for her to do now? Her parents won't be home for another few hours. After a few good minutes of thinking about it, she had decided to go play in the forest near her house. Turning her wagon around, she had headed straight for her house.
It was a fairly nice gray two story house with a spacious back yard, little swing set and an inflatable kiddie pool. But beyond that was wooded area filled with small wildlife such as squirrels, beavers and skunks. This would be where Annie would sometimes spend her free time at even though her parents told her not to.
Once she was there, she looked around at the small animals wondering who would be her next playmate *cough*cough* victim*cough* today. Her ice blue gaze then fell upon an odd looking pair ofsquirrelssittinhealsaaa tree. One was a really chunky squirrel stuffing giant amounts of acorns in her mouth while the second squirrel had really super short peach fuzz fur, making it look almost bald.
Picking up a rock, the bleach blonde girl smirked and threw it at the two squirrels causing them to freak out. The fattest of the two squirrels quickly stuffed more of the acorns in her cheeks and scampered right out of the tree, her furless companion following suit. Annie picked up a stick and started chasing them both down a grassy hill until she had tripped on a stone, tumbling head over heals down the steep hill, scratching and bruising herself in the process.
After what felt like a good few minutes of tumbling down the hill, she finally landed in a clearing. "Stupid squirrels" Annie muttered to herself brushing her pink sundress regaining her composure, she scanned the area to see where she was at. It was quite a pretty sight, there was a beautiful clear creek nearby with small fish and leaves running through it.
"Huh, I've never been in this part of the woods before" Annie said. The farthest she had ever been in these woods was a few yards from her own back yard. Rays of bright sunlight fell through the thick trees making the water in the narrow creek shimmer. As Annie was about to do a little more exploring she had noticed something to her far catching her attention.
Underneath a tree near some bushes, she could have sworn that she saw a hand sticking out. Annie stared at the appendage for a moment before she cautiously walked toward the bush, her curiosity slowly getting the better of her. Getting closer she had noticed two more limbs sticking out of the bush. they appeared to be legs. 'Is someone sleeping there?' She wondered.
Now that she was close enough she could see that these were indeed legs stretched out in front of her. This vaguely reminded her of that scene in "The Wizard Of Oz" where they showed that witch's feet sticking out from under Dorothy's house. This person was even wearing stockings similar to the witch." Hey, are you sleeping?" She called out to the person hidden in the bush.
When she received no response Annie begun pushing and pulling the bush away like a curtain and gasped when she uncovered the rest of the body that was previously hidden from view. The most prettiest boy she had ever seen in her 7 years of life laid there on the forest floor with his eyes closed as if he was in a deep,peaceful, sleep. She never knew that boys could be so pretty! Normally they were icky and gross to her. This boy was so gorgeous in fact, that he could have made for a passable girl if he wanted to.
He had silky Honey blonde hair cut and styled into a perfect Bob that touched his chin, surprisingly darker eyebrows, beautiful long lashes, and a rosy pink blush permanently tinting his cheeks. His attire consisted of a silky blue ribbon tied around his neck, a fancy frilly blue sailor top decorated with white lace and ribbons, and his lower half consisted of silky blue shorts that stopped mid thigh. His long shapely legs were covered in tight white lacy stockings that reached his thighs, creating a small peek of skin to show between them and the shorts he wore. He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
Annie crouched down next to the sleeping teenager and quickly thought of an idea that might wake him up. Reaching a hand out to his face, she quickly jabbed a finger up his nose. The boy gave no reaction. "Weird, that always works with Reiner whenever he falls asleep in class". She muttered to herself. Annie then pulled her finger out of his nose and started to roughly kick the boy's side. "Wake up!" She grunted kicking him a second time.
The blonde boy still remained motionless on the cold forest floor. Annie stopped her kicking and suddenly noticed something...This boy wasn't breathing at all. This slowly begun to alarm younger child. Putting a hand where his lungs would be she felt no movement there.'m-maybe he still has a pulse?' Annie asked attempting to calm herself down. "Placing her head against the teenager's chest she waited a moment and listened to see if she could hear any heartbeats. There were none.
This had raised so many red flags in the girl's head. Her mother, Angela Leonhart, was a nurse who worked àt the nearby hospital, so she had enough knowledge to know if somebody was really dead or not. Her mother had taught her everything she knew about basic medical skills and recognizing a dead person. 'I think Mommy said people start losing their color too!' Annie remembered. Taking a good look at the pretty boy,'s face again ,Annie had noticed that aside from the pink blush, his skin had no lively colors there. He had a ghastly pale complexion.
Wanting to make sure that he truly was dead, she picked up his right arm and pulled up his sleeve so she could feel his pulse, But soon started to scream in alarm when she saw what was underneath. His wrists and elbows were ball jointed like a doll! ,'wait a minute..' Annie thought getting up . pulling up his right sleeve she noticed that his limbs here the same as well. She then pulled down his stockings and saw that his knees were also ball jointed. "So THAT'S why you're not breathing." Annie said looking at the boy in awe. "You're just a giant doll!"
Dragging the doll out of the bush she propped him up against the tree, making it look like he was sitting up. His back was slouched over a bit and his head hung low making his hair drape over his face. This had explained so much Annie thought. Looking back over to where he was laying before, she had seen a rather shiny object sparkling. Pushing through leaves and skinny brushes again, she had seen that it was a wind up key. like the ones you would see those antique dolls in "Rozen Maiden have" except it was silver.
Getting an idea, the girl carefully turned the doll around and found neat little slit in back of his shirt. Here, Annie presumed is where the key goes in. Poking it in the key hole, she started to turn it counter clockwise wise until she couldn't anymore and heard a soft audible "click". She waited for something to happen but nothing did. 'It must be broken' Annie sighed. Well that was a waste of time, she thought. She was about to go back up the hill to her wagon and go back home until she heard Some noises behind her.
Light mechanical ticking sounds came from the doll's core as his body twitched and slowly started to sit up straight. Lifting up his head he sleepily opened his eyelids revealing beautiful glassy blue eyes. Annie immediately froze when the doll turned his head in her direction and smiled sweetly at her. Was it normal for dolls to smile?' Annie wondered. None of her other dolls at home did that. " Hi..my name is Armin, thank you for waking me up" he replied.
Annie looked like she just swallowed a frog. Never mind the fact that he could move, this doll could TALK! nothing like those Baby Alive dolls that just say pre recorded phrased, he was speaking clearly and moving his lips like a real boy! She silently wondered if she should talk back. "Um..it's no problem" she said. "What's your name?" The doll now known as Armin asked. "Annie" the girl said cooly. "My name is Annie".Armin twirled a lock of his hair shyly looking at his stockings. " "what a lovely name" Armin cooed.
Annie wasn't going to say it out loud but this was the most coolest doll EVER! Much better than that boring Emo Barbie Mikasa brought to show and tell yesterday. This was a special doll and she wanted it. "Hey..Armin was it? How long have you been here? Do you think anybody is looking for you?" Annie asked. Armin furrowed his brows and crossed his legs Indian style trying to remember how long he been there, better yet how he ended up here. The only memory of his previous owner was that he had pretty green eyes. Aside from that, he remembered nothing.
He then looked backed down at his clothes and realized that they were coated in cobwebs and dust, implying that he must have been laying in that shallow grave under the bush for quite some time now. Whoever his previous owners were Armin guessed, had left him there intentionally. Realizing this scared the doll, making silent tears come from his eyes. "No.." Armin sniffles. "I have nobody..I'm all alone" he cried. "Not even a mommy or daddy"
Annie watched the doll as he began to cry. Even though he looks like a teenager, he sounded like a baby. "Hey, stop crying, it doesn't look cool on guys" Annie said as she sat next to the doll. This didn't make the pretty boy feel any better as he pulled his knees up to his chest, wrapped his arms them and began sobbing some more.
Annie had made up her mind. Grabbing Armin's hand, she had pulled him up off of the ground making him stand on extremely wobbly legs. ",can you walk ?" Annie asked. Armin tried to move or at least stand up properly but his legs failed him making fall on his butt "I guess not" Annie sighed. "Wait here" She said and scampered off leaving him. "What a nice girl" Armin smiled. Within minutes Annie returned with her wagon from earlier.
"There's enough room for you to sit in here" She said picking Armin up and placing him in the wagon. "Where are we going?" Armin asked. "Home" Annie replied ''you're going to be my doll now" she said . the giant doll beamed at this, happy that he wouldn't be abandoned anymore. "Thank you Annie" he replied gratefully. Looking at some of the toys she had in her wagon he had picked up a brown teddy bear and started to play with it.
Annie looked over her shoulder at her new discovery and smirked. This was going to be the start of a beautiful relationship.
(A/N: well I really hoped that you enjoyed this chapter! And once again I'm sorry if there's some serious oocness in here. It's just that when o had first thought of this story, I had really wanted Armin to have a much more childlike state of mind than he normally does. As for Annie, I tried so hopefully they're not too bad)
