Hello Readers!
Welcome to my first fanfiction of Attack on Titan!
So this is actually my first real fanfiction from any fandom so please excuse me if some parts are a bit ropey but I hope you guys can enjoy it none the less!
This is an Eremika fanfiction (with a few other main ships I personally adore) so If you are here for some Ereri action you are in the wrong place, my apologies.
NOTE: This story since release has be updated to correct many grammar and spelling mistakes (19/03/2015)
This Chapter was fantastically beta read by Kubiyo!

Chapter 1 - The Remains of Before
It's been 3 months since I turned into a titan to fight Annie.
The victory of the battle was nothing to celebrate, however. Hundreds of citizens were killed by the disruption we caused in the Stohess District and half the city was left falling apart. The worst part is I did it. I was too obsessed with trying to catch Annie I didn't once think about the innocent people around me.
All of this disruption did not go unnoticed, of course. I was once again taken to court, trailed, and just barely made it out without any serious punishments. I have Captain Levi to thank for that. Death was considered but the Survey Corps' arguments assured that there was no need. However, execution is still an option in the future. The court told me, if I ever assume my titan form without confirmation from the military or leave the sight of Captain Levi again, I will be shot; these are orders from the king himself.
After the trail, I had to be kept in the Survey Corps HQ for a while, just until things died down. I killed family members of citizens and soldiers; there was certainly no shortage of people baying for my blood. Eventually, people forgot their hatred and started to grieve. The world moved on. It's my first expedition since the battle and I can't say I'm excited. I'm worried I won't be able to control myself.
Captain Levi keeps telling me he will kill me himself if I transform when we're out, he doesn't want his reputation to be the man who can't control a 15-year-old boy from having a tantrum, after all.
I walk over to my horse in the yard and begin to equip my gear. Still fits.
My other squad members are all doing the same but they're not the ones who haven't been outside the grounds in 3 months. I've had to stand by and watch my friends go outside the walls and always come back cold faced and defeated. Jean, Levi, Connie, Sasha, Reiner, Ymir, Krista. They all go, but never me. Then there's Mikasa and Armin. That pains me the most, never knowing if they're coming back. If either of them died, I wouldn't want to live anymore.
I remember Armin telling me that Mikasa said the same thing to him when I was presumed dead, that she didn't want to live I think I wouldn't give up like that so easily, but doubt is a powerful thing.
I jump up on my horse and join the group that gathered by the gate. I move between Levi and Mikasa and smile at her, but she just sighs and looks away. She didn't want me to come; she kept saying I was still too weak.
Mikasa's always been there for me but she's been acting different for the past few months. I don't like it.
I brush the thought off and concentrate on the road ahead.
"Attention!' Levi commands. "Our main goal for this mission is to clear out the large herd of Titans spotted south of Trost. It's fairly simple, compared to past missions. So if any of you brats mess this up I swear to god it won't be the titans you will be worried about!"
Everyone looks at each other cautious by his words before starting our ride towards the gates.
I give a quick glance towards Mikasa again. She continues to avoid my eyes, she has doubt in me. She shouldn't.
I won't mess this up. I will kill every single fucking titan I see. You will see I'm not weak, Mikasa. You will see.
First Chapter Guys! What did you think? I know a lot hasn't happened but it's just background information about where the story is compared to the time line. The next chapter will be a battle and maybe I'll throw I'm some POV's from Mikasa. Reviews are appreciated.
Thanks for reading :)
