Chapter 0: Prologue
Sakura quickly leaped out of bed and ran out of her house to look for Eren. As she ran, her long dark hair flew around her. Her hair was a very dark shade of black, so dark that it was like reflected moonlight; many complimented her about her beautiful midnight tresses and how shiny and straight they were. In her hair was a white ribbon (A/N Like Homura!). She was wearing a blue dress that reached her knees. It had short puffy sleeves with ribbons at the end, and she loved how the dress poofed out at the waist. Her socks were white with checkered diamond stripes. Her shoes were black loafers. She had drawn pink hearts on the buckle when she was a kid. It was her favorite dress because her mother had given it to her before she had passed away. The shoes were a gift from her father as well. This outfit was the last connection she had to her dead parents, and she treasured it and chose to wear it often. She also had a locket as a necklace around her neck. It hung by a silver chain and contained a picture of her as a child with her parents. She really missed her parents sometimes, but she knew that her parents would've wanted her to be happy, so she tried to always stay positive.
Sakura had woken up with a feeling of dread, and she knew it had to be something happening with Eren! Worried, she rushed out to search for him. "OMG, where did Eren go?" Sakura exclaimed in shock and concern. "He just disappeared out of thin air! How is that even possible?! Where could he possibly be?" And then she had an idea. She found Eren's father at his house and he told her that he had told him to find Mikasa.
As she hurried toward the cabin, she passed by Eren's mother. "Good morning, Sakura! How are you today?"
"Good morning, Mrs. Jaeger. It's good to see you! I'm in a bit of a rush, though, so I have to see you later!"
Mrs. Jaeger smiled warmly. "Alright, darling. It's fine. You hurry along, now."
She approached the room and heard voices inside. She heard a male voice that she could not recognize. Then another voice. It was Eren! She knew it! But she listened for a bit longer and was startled to hear threats from the unknown male voice. Eren was in danger! Sakura was afraid for Eren's life, but she was going to be brave and make sure that he was safe. She sneaked in without the dangerous stranger noticing. She gasped when she saw a girl she did not know holding a bloody dagger ready to rush at the stranger. She could not stand it. Just as the girl was about to run toward the stranger, she jumped in.
"Stop!"
The man turned to look at her. He grinned evilly while still having Eren in a chokehold.
Although she was very scared, she knew that she needed to save Eren and the girl. But killing the man was not the right way to do it. "No, you can't! You can't kill him!"
The evil man's face softened in shock. "Why are you defending me?"
"You can't just kill others. If you want to protect someone by killing others, then you will only regret the blood on your hands. All the people who will miss you when you're gone? Think of all the people who will be sad if that someone you're about to kill died!"
The girl's voice shook. "Do… do you really believe that?" Her hands were no longer both in front of her gripping the dagger. She sank to the ground.
The man's grip on Eren loosened. He put Eren down.
"You… you saved my life."
Eren quickly ran away from the man toward Sakura. However, Sakura motioned for him to go to the other girl because she was not hurt. Meanwhile, the man had a wide-eyed expression. He looked scared.
Unable to stand the fear haunting his eyes, Sakura tried to soothe him. "Whatever it is that you have done can still be forgiven, as long as you repent. It's okay."
Eren was helping Mikasa up.
The silence was broken when the man's scratchy voice. "Thank you." He was crying tears of happiness. Seeing his happiness, Sakura could not help but tear up as well.
"You're welcome," Sakura said in between sobs.
Then Eren came over and gave her his red scarf to dry her tears.
