I started watching Attack on Titan. I was struck with inspiration, thus the story.
Scold me now, I'm lazy and found an English site to watch it on. But I watch it while writing and doing other stuff, I'm too occupied to read subtitles. Please understand the dilemma.
Well, hate me for that, but at least read the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Attack on Titan.
Story line fanfic with OC insert. Starts off in POV of OC. Starts 1st/2nd episode.
Enjoy...
We're all the same right? From what I've been told we all have been put into different categories. My father is human, while the things outside our house are known as Titans. We live in the forest just outside of what my father calls Wall Maria, I call it the Buffet. Someday all those people will be waiting in terror as that wall of theirs breaks and they all get eaten.
My father was exiled a long time ago, roughly 15 years, around when I was born. He was sent out to survive on his own. Apparently he kept a small Titan inside the wall, in his basement. He did tests on it and he told me he injected some of it's DNA into him. It fused with his DNA and know he smells like a Titan, so he wasn't eaten when he was exiled. I doubt anyone thinks he's alive. My mother gave birth to me inside the wall after my father was found out and exiled for keeping an "enemy" in his basement. She then ventured out and gave me to father, she was eaten soon after. I had adopted most of the traits of the Titans, I smell like them, I have a constant craving for meat, and I can regenerate any part of my body, with a specific area on my neck that's sensitive to the touch. Unlike titans, I was actually quite small. I was only 5' 1, and I weighed 110 lbs.
My father was part of the military in the walls so he has taught me all he knows with the gear that he smuggled out. I even came up with a few tricks myself. Recently my father has kept me locked in, away from the wall and humans in it. I love him and all, but it's making me sick. That and being a healthy teenager and all, I gotta do more with my life. That's why I've decided to run away.
I grabbed a pair of tight grey pants, and a purple shirt. I put my reddish brown hair, mid back length, into a messy ponytail, and wandered into my father's room. I grabbed his 3DMG and put it on, it had a harness fit to my size so it worked. I opened his closet and pulled out a brown jacket. It had spots where an insignia had been torn off and it cut off around the bottom of my ribs. I slipped it on, perfect fit. I left his room and took one last glance at him in the living room asleep on the couch. I'd miss his green eyes that matched mine. I slipped on the boots and grabbed a bag with extra blades, gas, and potatoes, for food. I slipped out the front door silently. I closed the door and turned to see a 5m Titan walking by. I then noticed a huge group of them all heading towards what must have been the Buffet. I saw a 15m abnormal in the corner of my eye. I quickly sent myself sailing up in the air towards it. I landed on it's shoulder and sat on it as it ran carelessly through the forest. It didn't mind me since I smelled like him. I didn't have anything for or against Titans, or humans, so killing or using them didn't matter to me. It may matter later on, but not currently.
I laughed as the abnormal narrowly missed a tree. I always found it fun riding abnormals, they were funny sometimes. We soon entered a clearing, I laughed harder once I saw that there was a hole in the center of the wall. I was right, they were a buffet. The abnormal got to the wall and I sent out a hook towards it. I then launched myself up towards the top of the wall.
I flew up into the air, high above the wall. I spun myself and looked down. I continued to laugh as I fell over the other side of the wall and down towards the inside of the Buffet. I screamed in enjoyment as I launched hook after hook, sailing down the street. It was fun for me, but to some one else they would probably be eaten already. I unhooked the hooks from the wall and began walking down the street. I slowly walked through the streets, passing over bodies and past Titans, eating there first meal in awhile. I shortly found myself at the edge of the far wall. I walked past all the guards dressed like me and through the wall.
"You there! Come over here and help get people to the other side of wall Rose!" I looked over and saw a man dressed like me, yelling at me.
"Sure." I smiled. I then used the gas and hooks to fly over towards him. I was then lead across to the opposite wall. I laughed and did spins as I flew through the air. I loved using the 3DMG.
"Hey! Focus!" The man yelled at me. I turned forward and landed beside him as we ran towards the giant group of people trying to get on a boat. Before I could walk any further I froze. I turned to see a baby laying in the middle of the street, crying. I ran over to it and picked it up. I slowly rocked it for a second as it stopped crying. I looked up and around, unable to find a parent. I then walked over to the man who had spoken to me earlier.
"Sir, what should I do with the child?" I asked, fully content on going out to kill more Titans, and use the 3DMG gear!
"There no more hope here. Take it away on one of the boats." He told me, nearly in tears.
"But Sir, the rest of the people will get left behind." I pleaded. He placed his hands on my shoulders. His eyes were full of complete horror.
"No! This is my order. Take the child and save yourself." He turned me and walked me towards the boat, while I was completely shocked at how horrified someone could be. He tore off my coat and rested it on my shoulders, he then took out my ponytail and messed up my hair, trying to make me look like a commoner in shock or something I guess.
"One more child!" Another military man yelled. I was shoved towards him.
"Take her and her baby." He told the man. The man then guided me towards a seat on the boat. I was broke out of my shock as the baby started crying again. I slowly started rocking it and the baby somehow fell asleep. It had bright blonde hair and brown eyes. I heard people yelling as the boat as it was sent off through the wall. It was the last boat. Right as we left a giant abnormal with what looked like armor barreled through the wall I had come through. Seconds after dozens of Titans started coming through the wall and eating the people who were still waiting for the end at this point.
"Here, take a seat. Rest, for the sake of you and your child." I turned around to see a man offering me his seat.
"No, no. Keep the seat, I'm okay here." I told him. He then pulled me back and sat me down.
"I insist." He said, I nodded in thanks. I looked out as the sun began to set. Even through all this horror at least something good came through.
I had given the baby to someone on the other side of the wall. I was then sent somewhere to sleep and get food. I gave out the potatoes to people who had big families with them.
I was put with the refugees, and I tried my best to brighten people's moods. Lots of adult didn't really appreciate my efforts. The younger kids on the other hand loved playing with me. I attempted to keep most of them occupied while their parents had a breakdown, or went to get food. Lots of people appreciated what I did, and thought I was doing good after seeing what I had on the other side of the wall.
I turned around from the younger kids I had been telling a story to see two kids several years younger than me fighting with some of the military. I boy with brown hair lay on the ground while his blonde friend stood up and defended him. I girl ran over to help the boy on the ground.
"Tell your buddy a little gratitude goes a long way." One of the military men yelled at the blonde as he walked off.
"Sure." The blonde called back. I turned towards the kids.
"Excuse me for a moment, I need to go talk with someone." I stood up and heard them complain as I walked over to the small group. Which had gotten up and walked into one of the small side halls near the courtyard.
"The Titans have to pay for what they've done to us." I heard the brown haired boy grumble.
"Hey now, you're not serious that's your stomach talking." I heard the blonde tell him.
"No it's not." The brown haired boy stood up. " Wake up. The guards standing between us and them are just a bunch of talk." He pulled out what looked like bread from his pocket. "To hell with all of them. Here." He continued. He threw the bread at the blonde who bounced it a few times before finally catching it. He mumbled something after that.
"Yeah? What are you trying to do? Starve." The blonde retorted. I walked over and sat on the ground next to the two. The brown haired boy took a step forward.
"When are you going to get sick of their charity. Too much is handed to us. We have to stand on our own two feet." The brown haired boy told the blonde. The girl stood across from me, she was staring at me while the two boys continued to fight and argue. The girl suddenly stepped forwards and punched the brown haired boy. He landed behind me with a thud. I turned and crawled over to sit next to him. He was stunned but slowly turned to sit up as the girl began talking.
"Have you looked in the mirror lately? All of us are parasites. We couldn't run from certain death without help. Tell me differently, don't take your short comings out on him. And for god sake we can't even find food on our own. We're parasites, we're cowards. Titans are the top of the food chain, period. Pride be damned, we do what we must to live. Your mom didn't ask us to be brave." The girl walked towards the boy next to me. She grabbed the bread from the blonde and shoved it into the brown hairs mouth. He started to gag.
"Mikasa." The blonde pleaded.
"Eat it." Mikasa demanded the brown haired boy. "She asked us to stay alive. I'm not about to let her down." The boy began to cry as she said this. Meanwhile I stood up and walked over to the blonde.
"Hey, I saw that incident earlier." I told him. I was only a foot or less taller than him.
"Yeah, I guess we did cause a commotion." He rubbed the back of his head.
"Well I wanted to introduce myself. Me and that friend of yours have something almost in common." I told him as I turned and looked at the brown haired boy who was still wiping away tears. I then turned back to the blonde.
"Oh Eren? He's just hungry, but I guess he's being true to his word. I'm Armin by the way." He stuck out his hand.
"Nice to meet ya. I'm Lily." I took his hand and shook it. I then cracked a smile and laughed.
The next day we were sent off to work in the wastelands to help get food for the new mouths in this wall. The cold ground didn't give us a good enough harvest. Anyone old enough was sent off to join in trying to reclaim the lost wall, very few made it back out of the hundreds sent out. Armin lost his father in this attempt. Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and I all decided to join the military next year, we all vowed to try our best. Never once did I doubt my decision on coming here, on meeting Eren and them, or on becoming like a normal person.
"Straighten those spines piss ants! The 104th cadet corps boot camp starts now! Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Commander Keith Shadis, and you will grow to hate me! Training is gonna be a white knuckle right through hell! If I've done my job you'll be waking up in a cold sweat from memories of this place every night for the rest of your miserable lives! Right now your nothing, your livestock, but over the next three soul crushing years you'll learn to take down your own Goliath! Remember this moment when you come face to face with him, cause here's where you ask yourself! Am I a fighter or am I feed! Am I gonna be ground up to pulpy human crushed between boulder sized incisors! Or am I gonna be the one to bite!" A man yelled at us as we stood in rows, wearing normal shirts and pants with brown jacket like my father's, but with an insignia with two swords over our heart, and on our sleeves. Everyone around me had straight faces, or were nearly scowling. I had a giant grin on my face. I was ready to finally become a member of the military, and do what my father had done minus the part where he kept a Titan in his basement.
Hope you liked it.
