Chapter 1

3rd Pov

The sky was clear, everything was perfectly fine until it all was turned upside down within moments when the sound of horses reached the area. Blood quickly filled the air around them, the once green lush grass was now cloaked with the scarlet color that stained the grounds. Homes, families, and friends were all slaughtered, destroyed, and torn apart with no clear explanation to why they were all taken from the world.

Silence surrounded them, a haunting silence that could drive anyone to insanity, but everything soon shifted as the ground shook. Soldiers weren't fully prepared to confront humanity's enemy and many began to panic at the sight of the large creatures that towered them.

Chaos was the only word she could describe it, her bright blue eyes were wide as she saw how the ground was covered with the crimson color and with bodies scattered everywhere. Shaking her head, the little girl ran off without looking back to the place she called home, but she had no where to go. She never dreamed of the day that her village will be discovered by the people who lived their lives behind the walls.

Running with everything she got, she needed to make it out of it alive or else everyone died in vain. Tears ran down her pale skin as she ran away from the place she only knew and all she knew was to reach the wall in hope that someone will help her.

Clenching her hands, she continued to run and all that echoed was her heart beat pounding against her chest as it threaten to burst through her. Shutting her eyes, the young girl knew she was the lone survivor of her village and she snapped her eyes open at the will to live on so those who fallen won't be forgotten. As long as she's alive then they'll live on with her.

Her eyes stared over towards the Titans that were drawn towards the men with jackets that held the symbol of a horse on their backs. Narrowing her eyes a bit, her hands tighten as she felt her knuckles turning white as the anger boiled within her. Her eyes glowing an unusual yellow and she threw her hand aside as one of the many Titans cut off the soldier's escape route.

Shutting her eyes, she wiped away the tears as she picked up the speed and everything became deaf to her. Screams were heard, but she muted them out of her mind as she continued to escape from the corrupted humanity that her people have abandon years ago.

Pain was finally settling in on the girl, her legs threatening to give up and she felt her chest tighten at thought of everyone long dead. More tears were shed, but the white haired child continued to pull through and she found herself alone in the wide open with no end in sight. Panting, she lowered her head and she did was run forward in hopes to find the wall that she heard many stories about.

The sun began to set and the girl was slowly weakening, but she refused to collapse until she reach the wall. Her ears perked at the sound of horses approaching her and she quickly tried to hide, but her eyes widen at the sight of a group of people cloaked with green capes.

Stumbling, she fell onto the ground and her legs trembled, her fingers clenching the grass as she tried to find the strength to continue on, but she panted more as her legs refused to listen. Tensing when she saw that the group of strangers stopped not so far from her, lifting her head up towards them she saw the expressions written across each person.

They were shock beyond belief and she didn't understand why they were. Frowning, she attempted to get up, but failed once again. Pressing her forehead against the cool ground as she cached her breath, but she felt her whole body freeze when one of the strangers spoke up.

Looking up, she saw a dark skinned man who appears to be the leader of the group and he hoped off his horse while asking, "What are you doing out here?"

Silence, she didn't answer the man nor did she plan to since she didn't trust anyone who resembled the ones that invaded her home. Narrowing her eyes towards the ground, she curled her fingers as she wished for a Titan to appear and get rid of the strangers.

Walking closer towards the child, he removed his hood while kneeling down in front of the young girl, "We aren't here to hurt you."

"Lies..." She muttered, tears building up in her eyes as she bit her lip, "Liar!"

Crying out, she shook her head as she refused to look at the man, "You took them away! Every single one of them!"

Burying her face into the ground as she remembered clearly how her family desperately placed their lives of the line in order to insure that she escaped. Tears ran down her stained cheeks as she yelled out, "You killed them! You... you are bad people!"

The man was taken back, his eyes widen at the information the girl revealed and he looked over to the others as he nodded at them. Turning his attention towards the child, "I'm sorry to hear that, but we didn't do that. We aren't the same people that attacked you, we were sent to collect someone important that rumors told to be the key to humanity's survival."

Her eyes widen, looking up she stared at the man's face as she clenched her hands again, "You... Why? Why!" Shaking her head, she moved away, "They died because of me! Because of you! All for humanity!"

Glaring, she clenched her hands as the thoughts echoed her head, Titans aren't the real enemy... Humanity's greatest foe is humanity itself...

"Then you must be the child that can control Titans?" he asked while studying the young girl carefully and he saw a flash of yellow within her blue eyes as she narrowed her eyes dangerously at him.

She didn't say anything, but he continued to speak as he sat down on the ground across from her, "The people you saw must have been a group known as the Military Police and they acted on orders of the King, but we are a different group. We are the Survey Corps and we serve to free humanity from those walls by exploring the land and bringing the fight to the Titans."

Holding out a hand towards her, "I'll make sure no one will hurt you nor will I allow them to take you away. Trust in our word."

Her eyes glanced down to his hand before turning her attention towards the others that held a distances from her, Do I trust their word...? They would've killed me on the spot if they were the others... But I'm not one to save humanity...

Staring at the hand, she thought carefully and yet she didn't move, Do I wish to work with the people behind the walls? Her fingers curled into the grass, These... Survey Corps wish to live outside the walls like my clan did...

Her eyes remained still while her thoughts rushed through her and she spoke up without moving her eyes, "Tsuki... My name is Tsuki and I am the one you are looking for..."

"Tsuki," He offered her a smile before revealing his name, "My name is Shadis and if you may, we will take you inside the walls in a secure location so you won't be discovered by the Military."

He continued to hold his hand out waiting for her to accept it, "Allow us to help you and help us in freeing humanity so we can live the way your people have been through the years."

We are all humans who seek for peace... I couldn't abandon the values my village stood for...

Her eyes widen at the mentioned of her people, tears rolled down her cheeks as she vividly remembered how her younger brother pushed her out of danger and it was the moment she made her escape. Her lips trembled as she remembered each face that belonged to her friends, to her family, and to the neighbors and accepting the fact that they're all gone.

Accepting his hand, she whispered under her breath as a broken smile appeared on her lips while the tears continued to fall, "No soul can say they've died in vain..."

Closing her eyes, she released a heavy sigh as the man helped her up to her feet while a thought crossed her mind, As long as I'm alive then their death wasn't in vain...

Shadis carried the white haired girl to his horse as he ordered the other scouts, "We will be returning back and no one will speak a word about the girl. Not a single soul shall know about this." Frowning slightly, he yelled out, "Understood?!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Tsuki closed her eyes again as sleep began to sink in, everything began to fade as she felt the darkness embrace her into it's arms. Everything disappeared, no thoughts and nothing bothered her terrible soul as she fell asleep. All she hoped was to bring justice to her people, even if it meant to save the humanity that were caged within those walls, but she still held hope that everything will be clear again.

Years Later

Her eyes widen slightly at the building that belonged to the Survey Corps, she finally arrived at their base and she glanced over to Commander Pixes who was the one to escort her safely in case any Military Police were to spot the girl. The two removed themselves from their horses while Tsuki properly fixed her blue cloaked as she shield her head as she followed the man.

They were soon greeted by one of the Captains of the Corps and she studied the blonde man who towered her. She remembered that Shadis mentioned a few of the Captains that served under him and from what she knew, this man Erwin Smith who is the next Successor after Shadis.

Giving him a salute, she held eye contact, but he held up a hand as he dismissed her and she relaxed once again. Glancing over to Commander Pixes before returning her focus on the blonde man. He offered a smile at the two, motioning them to follow, "Welcome, I hope your travel wasn't too bad. Follow me, we'll meet up with Commander Shadis, so we can discuss a few things."

Glancing towards the white haired girl, "I'm Captain Erwin, but you surely must have been informed by Commander Pixes or even Commander Shadis." Raising a brow, he took account of the girl's strange hair color along with a few other things that he heard about, "You must be Tsuki."

"Yes, Sir!"

"I'm glad we finally meet," He turned away as he guided the two guest through the structure. His arms were folded behind him and without glancing over to the girl, he stated, "You don't have to hide as long as you're here."

Her eyes widen, pausing for a moment as she hesitated until she built up the courage to bring her hands up towards her hood. Removing it, Tsuki glanced over to the Garrison before her eyes fell over to other cadets that were in the mess hall. She walked by the door, continuing to follow the Captain but her eyes caught sight of the different people who laughed, ate, and smiled, but she noticed a group of three that kept to themselves.

Tsuki took note of a girl with red hair, a young man with light blonde hair and another man with black hair. However, her eyes locked with a pair of cold gray eyes and she never seen a look like that in her whole life and it made her shiver at the sheer glare from the man. Pulling her hood to cover her face slightly, avoiding anymore eyes that a few other cadets casted towards her and she sighed in relief once out of sight.

Finally reaching the office, she entered the room while Commander Pixes closed the door behind them as Captain Erwin walked over to the desk where Commander Shadis stood behind. Her eyes studied the room until they fell over to the blonde for moment before she turned towards the Commander of the Survey Corps and she awaited for instructions, folding her arms behind her.

Erwin raised a brow slightly before he chuckled, "I'm honored to have you, Tsuki, join our Legion. Surely you must understand what the Survey Corps are about."

Tsuki nodded, holding a blank expression, "I've heard much about the Survey Corps ever since I was brought into the Walls," Glancing over to the other man, "Commander Shadis has informed me of things to expect and Commander Pixes has also mentioned a few things."

Lifting her head, she kept eye contact with the man that brought her into this new world and she stated, "I'm honored to join your ranks, Commander, I hope that with my abilities that we can make progress so one day humanity can once live outside the walls."

Clenching her hands, "My soul duty is to free us from the walls and end this war."

Commander Pixes smiled faintly at the young woman's attitude before he looked over to Erwin and Shadis, "Cadet Tsuki has been training and her skills are excellent, along with her knowledge of the outside world, and especially with her ability to control Titans."

Commander Shadis nodded, "I've seen some of your talent before hand and I'm glad to see that you've finally reached this far since our last encounter, Cadet Tsuki."

Nodding, Erwin smiled at the new recruit, "I believe you'll be a great factor into our success. We'll fill you in with everything else later, but for now leave us with Commander Pixes."

She blinked, looking over to the man beside her for a brief moment before looking back at the blonde then finally her eyes rested on the Commander that she'll serve under, "Where will I go for the time being, Sir?"

"Get familiar with the building, form bonds with the others because they will be your new family," Unfolding his arms as he stated, "Surely, you remember the back to the mess hall. You'll find someone to help you into settling in before I call for you later."

Nodding, she gave a salute to the man before turning away, "Yes, Sir."

Commander Pixes waited after the young woman left the room before he spoke up, "What do you think? I believe she'll do fine, she'll adjust quickly since she's from the outer world."

Erwin nodded, turning over to his Commander who stood at the window as his eyes fell on a few cadets, "She has a spark within her, surely with her help we'll begin to make progress."

The Garrison agreed, but he sighed under his breath, "You are aware that for the time being we'll be moving her around so the Military Police won't catch onto her location."

Shadis turned over towards the other two men, "I'm aware of her situation. I'll be routing her around so they won't track her so easily since word about her existence has spread within the walls."

Erwin stared at the man before adding onto his Commander's words, "Which is why I suggest in sending her back to the training camps within a few weeks, then bring her back afterwards until it's deem safe for her to stay put here."

Staring across the fields, Shadis frowned, "I might even place her in our old base for awhile to just throw off any trail that they might have on her."

Tsuki's Pov

I wondered back to the mess hall where mostly all the other cadets were located it, but I felt uneasy once I stood at the door and I saw all the different faces. Taking in a deep breath, I took a step into the room and I noticed that almost everyone turned their attention towards me which only made my skin crawl slightly. However, I kept my expression blank while my blue eyes skimmed the coward and I wondered over to an empty table.

Ignoring the looks I gained from the others, I sighed in annoyances since I should've expected it since it's something that usually happens. Leaning against my hand, I stared at the wooden table and I furrowed my brows slightly, Of course people might see me as a freak with my hair and my sudden appears too...

"You must be the new girl," I blinked while looking up to see a blonde man and I was utterly confused the moment I realized that he smelled my hair.

"What are you doing?" I moved back while keeping my eyes on the strange man.

He took a sit across from me before revealing his name, "Mike Zacharias, I've been informed by Commander Shadis along with Captain Erwin that you would be arriving today."

Sighing, I shook my head before chuckling, "I'm Tsuki and forgive me, you just startled me a bit."

"You stick out like a shore thumb with that hair of yours."

"I've been told..." I muttered under my breath.

Someone shook me, my eyes widen as I looked up to see a woman with brown hair and glasses smiling down at me. I saw the astonishment within her eyes as she laughed a bit, "OH! You're finally here!"

I was taken back once again as the woman dropped down beside me before she grabbed hold of my face, but I quickly reacted by grabbing her wrists and creating a distance between us. Narrowing my eyes slightly at her, "Who are you?"

She chuckled, "I'm Hanji Zoe," Her eyes wondered over how I reacted towards and she shook her head, "I should've kept in mind to not invade your space."

"I was so excited to hear about you and I-"

"Hanji leave the kid alone."

"I have so many questions and-"

"Please, just slowly down," I sighed, releasing her while moving away, "I need some time to adjust here."

The woman jumped onto her feet before slamming her hands onto the table, now everyone had their full attention on us. I looked up to see her smile down at me while her eyes sparkled a bit and I glanced around to see everyone's eyes on me. I even noticed the small group spare a glance towards my direction.

"I'll show ya around!" She turned over to Mike, who appeared a bit annoyed by the woman's outburst, "Come on, Mike, lets show the new Cadet around!"

I stood up, holding my hands up in defense, "Uhh... I like the thought, but I really-"

Mike stood up as he motioned us to follow, "Pay attention since we won't repeat ourselves."

I sighed, following the two out of the room and I glanced over towards the other Cadets who merely whispered among themselves as I walked by. Muttering under my breath, "If only I can read their minds too..."

3rd Pov

Tsuki was left to follow the strange woman around, the white haired Cadet glanced around her as they walked through the library that they had. Following Hanji to a different room where she stopped to take note how messy the desk was and Tsuki soon discovered that this was the woman.

"And this is my office," Hanji stood in the center of the room while explaining, "This is where I'll be having you to study a bit of that ability and some other things, so feel free to drop by any time you need anything."

The cadet nodded slowly as she took in everything before her blue eyes fell down the woman, "I'll keep that mind... But why?" Tsuki tilted her head slightly, "Why are you so interested?"

Hanji held a huge smile before walking up to the white haired cadet, grabbing hold her shoulders as she shook Tsuki a bit before chuckling, "I love Titans! They're so fascinating! And having you being able to control them and I really want to know about it."

Tsuki chuckled under her breath, "That's the first time I've seen someone who's so excited about the very creatures that locked humanity behind those walls."

Chuckling again, Hanji patted the girl on the back before stating, "I'm fine with killing them, but I really want to understand them and get the most information about of them."

Shaking her head, Tsuki only smiled at her (), "Well... I'll be gladly to help you out then."

"Good!"

Turning away, Hanji dragged the girl along with her as she brought her to the office where Commander Shadis, "I brought Cadet Tsuki, Sir. I showed her around the grounds and filled her on some information."

He nodded, walked over towards the two, looking down at the white haired woman, "I only want to inform you that you'll be joining a small squad of three other cadets which will be overseen by Captain Mike and Captain Erwin."

Glancing over to Hanji, "I'll leave you responsible in handling any issue arising involving her power."

Hanji nodded while giving a salute to the man, "Yes, sir."

Tsuki folded her arms behind her while lifting her head up towards the man when he turned his attention back to her, "I'll have Cadet Hanji show to your room which you'll share with one of your fellow comrades, Cadet Isabel Magnolia."

"Yes, sir," Giving him a salute while nodding her head.

Dismissing the two, but Shadis quickly added on before the two cadets left the room, "You'll start training tomorrow with your squad which will be lead by Mike and I'll have Erwin overseeing the session."

Nodding, "Understood."

"You're dismissed."

Hanji closed the door behind them as she guided the new cadet to her new room, but the woman glanced over to the white haired woman, "I'll only tell you this, but from what I heard your new roommate is bit of stubborn and she isn't really one to allow many of us in expect her two friends."

Tsuki looked down for a moment before sighing, "I'll handle it and I guess maybe time will change it, but we'll see."

Once reaching the room that was assigned to the new recruit, Hanji offered her a smile at the girl before knocking on the room. Tsuki stood back, she was taken back at the sudden that came from the other side of the room and her eyes widen when she saw the girl.

Tsuki was surprised to see how young the girl looked, her hair was red brown pulled into two pigtails, her green eyes were filled with some spark of life, and she was a bit taller than her. Tsuki blinked before holding a hand out to her before introducing herself, "Hello, I'm Tsuki and I'm your new roommate."

Hanji patted her as she shoved the new girl into the room while following them a bit, "Cadet Tsuki is gonna be staying with you now and she'll be joining your squad tomorrow for training!"

Isabel frowned a bit at the new information as she glanced over to her new roommate before narrowing her eyes back at the woman, "I don't get a say?"

"Nope~!" Hanji sang a bit as she left the room, closing the door but she spared a grin at the two, "Get to know each other!"

Tsuki felt uncomfortable for a bit before finally speaking up, "Sorry about this, I was barely informed about all this."

"No prob," The red head waved it off as she walked by, "I not get told anything either."

Jumping onto her bed, she kicked her feet up while raising a brow at the new girl, "Why the sudden appearance? I mean, I saw you earlier since your hair is strange."

Tsuki walked over to her bed, sitting down while facing the girl, "I remember seeing you too even if it was a brief moment. I had a few things that needed to be settled before I was allowed to join the scouts."

Her blue eyes landed at the hair that spilled over her shoulder, running her hand through her hair while stating, "Well... I'm not from the walls and I get a lot of comments for my appearance."

Isabel sat up, leaning closer to the new recruit, "Well, I'm only here since I got no other choice, but hey! At least I can be outside those stupid walls" Sitting up, she tilted her head a bit, "If you're not from the walls then where are you from?"

Looking up, Tsuki chuckled under her breath before revealing, "I was actually from outside the walls, but I was brought into the walls and I joined the scouts since it's the closest I get for being out."

Her green eyes widen, jumping up to her feet she stared at the white haired woman with amusement, "Really!? No way! I never thought I'll meet a rogue!" Laughing, Isabel crossed her arms, "I'm from the undergrounds."

The white haired recruit was taken back by the name that she was referred to as, Rogue? Is that what they call those from beyond the walls..?

Tsuki blinked, tilting her head a bit, but she remembered that someone told her about the forgotten district that laid underground, "I... I heard about it before, but I'm surprised to hear that you made here." Smiling, she chuckled, "Well, I can't say anything about it since I ended here too."

Isabel sat back down before looking over to Tsuki, "Good know that we share something I guess."

Standing, Tsuki glanced outside the window and saw that night calmed the land, she noticed that the sky was clear, "I'm going for walk."

"Alright, but don't get caught since we have curfew and surely it's already passed it too," Shrugging, she laid back while informing the girl, "Surely you'll get yourself in trouble on your first day."

Tsuki nodded, smiling at the red head before leaving the room, "I know how to keep a lower profile, but thanks for letting me know."

Tsuki's Pov

I remember the breeze, the way the wind blows through my hair as I stood on the roof of the base and I couldn't help myself from staring up at the stars that lit up the sky. It was breath taking, every star emitted it's own light.

My eyes teared up as I recalled the nights I laid under this very sky when I was a child. Smiling, I stared at the beauty and I chuckled to myself as the thought crossed my mind, The beauty of seeing something that died so long ago... Sitting down, I leaned against my knee and I couldn't take my eyes off the sky, Yet they shine so bright even after death...

Lowering my eyes, I wondered about a few things and I curled my fingers around my knee, Maybe those who died are the ones guiding us through the war that we are left to finish...

Sighing, I leaned back on my hands as I finally caught sight of the moon and I smiled at the fact it was a full moon tonight, They're like stars who guide us through the dark... Laying back, I stared up and I smiling sadly as I recalled the stories regarding the moon within my clan.

Reaching a hand out towards the sky, in hopes to touch it and I knew some tears were shed as I could hear their voices. I can see their faces as we sat around the fire, telling stories, legends, and we would look up to the moon.

I pulled my necklace out from my shirt, curling my fingers around crescent moon shaped metal with a sapphire gem hooked on the top as it hanged in the empty space beside the moon. I recalled that my mother passed it down to me when I was young and I never let it out of my sight, always having it with me.

Resting my hand near my heart as I watched the sky and I couldn't help myself imagining that each star that shined are the souls that had their lives taken away from this beautiful cruel world.

Sighing, I closed my eyes and I allowed the night breeze run through my hair while the silence covered me into it's embrace and for a moment I felt at peace.

My ears twitched the moment I heard movement, I opened my eyes as I sat up to see someone else climbed up to the roof, but he was on the other side and he didn't seem to notice my presence. I remembered seeing him before, I narrowed my eyes slightly then I felt my eyes widen.

He was the one with those eyes that were like daggers, I looked away as I leaned against my knees. Frowning, I sighed to myself before looking up at the sky again.

I curled my cloak around me as I recalled a few old memories that involved me wondering through the woods at night, it was the night I discovered my gift that I somehow gained at some point.

Smirking to myself, I still couldn't believe that fate brought me here, but I can't complain because over the years since that fateful day I've came to an understanding in what I want. I finally found my purpose, found my values, my desire, and what I wish to complete before I leave this world.

Leaning back on my right hand, I smiled up at the moon that fought off the darkness and I whispered under my breath, "I'm here despite everything, I'm here even if everyone's afraid, but I have found the strength within myself and from those of the reluctant heroes that stand beside me."

Sighing, "I'll fight till my last breath, humanity will discover the truth and the beauty that lays outside those cursed walls..."

Closing my eyes, It's strange but I'm not part of their world and yet I'm willing to lay my life down for them, but I still have a part of me that is so stubborn...

Glancing over towards the other roof, I saw the black haired cadet who stared up at the sky with an expression that I couldn't read. He held a bored blank look, but I saw the light in his eyes when he saw the sky and deep down I knew... I knew that he never saw the sky before.

I wondered where he must have came from if he never seen the beauty of the sky, the stars, the moon, and wonders that it left anyone in bewilderment. I realized that two other Cadets made it to the roof, both of them sitting on each side of the man. Then it all became clear, I recognized the three as the group that sat distant from the others earlier. Also I noticed that the girl among the small group was Isabel, my roommate that I was assigned too.

They all stared up at the sky with the look that all I can describe to be hope and disbelief as if all this was merely a dream to them. I smiled faintly, turning away as I stared at the sky and I closed my eyes as I allowed the moonlight to caress my skin, bringing me back to the state that I once knew before.

Wrapping my arms around me, I smiled again at the thought of living up to my fate and I'll keep those who have fallen close to my heart because they'll be pushing me towards the end. Staring down at my necklace, I curled my fingers around it and kissed it before hiding it away. Standing, I looked up at the sky one final time and from the corner of my eye I noticed how they finally realized my presence from the other roof, but I didn't acknowledge them.

Walking away, I pulled my hood over me as I spared one more glance towards the moon, No soul has died in vain until our last dying breath... No regrets... I'm done. Now I'll face destiny...

A/N: Well, I randomly got into the mood of writing a fic in the aot/snk universe, so this is the first chap. But I won't be updating regularly since this is just a side fic that I'm working on when I'm taking a break from my two main fics that I'm currently doing. I like working on this one, but it's more of my free time or my random moods that I get into it, so I don't really have a set update schedule.

But do feel free to leave a review, I'll love to hear your feedback. Don't worry, I'll be posting chapters from now and then when I have the time.

Until then, hope you have a good day wherever you are :)
