Dear mother,

I went to the capital to fulfill my dream. I know you are not going to approve when I send this letter, but, I rather devote my life fighting for a cause than just sitting around like useless sheep surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Now, just to talk about your disapproval, even if you disapprove and attempt to send a letter to me, then here is some luck I send out to you. Good luck trying to get the money to get paper, ink and pens. Good luck trying to find a messenger that would want to travel through the cities to get to the inner walls. Good luck with the messenger making it through the military police with no harm. And good luck to me actually receiving the letter. Mom, do realize that I am risking my life for the sake of you, pa and little Johnny.

I hope you still love me even though my actions disapprove you. ~ Aries

I sighed as I placed down the paper that I was writing on. Trying to contain my frustration, I ran back of my hands through my black layered hair. Throwing away the excess hair that I pulled out in the process, I looked back at my paper.

It seemed harsh of a letter to send to a worrying mother, so I concluded that it would be best if I tore the letter in half and start over again.

Dear mother,

It's been ten days since I left the Shinganshina District. It was a hard journey I have to say, but overall, it is not something that I will regret. I hope you are alright with me continuing with my goal of being a soldier for the capital. I can not stand the idea of being a doctor. What is there to heal when a titan eats the whole human being, and there is no way of growing herbs for medicine? Tell Johnny that I miss him.

I love you. ~ Aries

I nodded my head in approval. This seemed much better to send.

Getting up from the cold, gravel ground, I placed both hands on my back and stretched. After enjoying the feeling of sore muscles and tight joints popping, I set out on my journey. Even though I "wrote" that I was doing well in the capital, it is all a lie.

I am not yet a trainee, so I am like any other poor person lying around on the streets waiting to be taking by a titan or decompose after death.

Author's note: I know I haven't been typing a lot for my Black Butler stories, but I thought about it, I really wanted to write an Attack on Titan short chapter story. c: So I hope the readers enjoy this fanfiction.

So, I'm going to try to type a new chapter for each Friday, but I also have homework, so I might be a couple days late.

Please favorite, follow or type a review to this story for constructive criticism or for love because those are what motivates me to continue writing.
