"Cause any problems and I'll hang your arses." With that Levi swivelled on his heel and leapt from the branch, cloak billowing behind him in the wind. Petra shivered and rubbed her arms, look around the snow-covered forest with a practised eye. Icicles hung from the branches of the redwoods, snowflakes drifting down through gaps in the canopy. Olou stood to her right, cape wrapped around his shoulders tightly. Eld and Gunther stood a while off, only just visible through the snow and thin fog. Hazel eyes flicked around the tree's, she frowned when she thought she saw movement in the corner of her vision, she swivelled to face it as she unsheathed her blades. Petra's gentle demeanour disappearing in the blink of an eye. They narrowed and focused, scanning the foliage with renewed suspicion. Olou quickly moved against her back, eyes scanning the forest behind her.

A second later there was a crunching sound then something shot past with a blur of bright gold. Petra quickly took off, swooping through the air with a predatory gaze. She dodged through the tree's,pursuing the target. A growl of frustration escaped her throat when she lost sight of them. 'Men' She thought simply, a chuckle escaping her throat as she landed. She tapped her gas canisters, eyes widening when she realised that she was running on fumes with only one set of blades.

"Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid girl! Levi is going to kill you." she hissed at herself, pulling her cloak tighter around herself with a shiver. The small ginger leapt sideways when something hit the branch beside her, stumbling as she reached the end of the branch. Small hands clutched at the rotting wood as she fell, her stomach leaping in panic. Her handles dangled uselessly a metre below her feet rendering her gear useless dead weight. Spotting the titan looming in the fog as it moved towards her she threw her leg up, managing to get a loose foothold on the bark as she used her other arm to unclasp her gear from her hips. She winced at the clang they made hitting the ground and struggled to climb the redwood, eyes widening as the rotten wood beneath her foot gave way, gasping in pain as wood dug into her palms. Blood dribbled down her arms, soaking into her sleeve and making her hands slippery.

She closed her eyes as the bark began to crumble, dropping towards the forest floor a deadly distance below. Hazel eyes snapped open as arms snagged around her waist, pulling her into a neat swirl and dropping her onto the next closest branch. The small women spun around to see aureolin gold wings beat in the air for a second before swooping towards the titan, a whoop of excitement filling the air as they dodged down its arm, striking the nape with deadly accuracy. A second later there was a brunette boy opposite her on the branch, crackling filling the air as the wings curled through the air. Petra flinched when she caught sight of his eyes. Glowing red irises surrounded by black sclera stared back at her, tendrils of ruby pulsing on his skin. She shuddered after his gaze lay on her before speaking, her voice shaking with nervousness.

"Er.. Hello, my name's Petra Ral. W-what are you..?" The boy frowned, looking puzzled for a minute before replying.

"Neden kulübenizden çıkıyorsunuz? Mekanik kanatların olmadan..." Petra faltered at the reply, confusion clouding her features. he quickly tried again, seemingly in another language.

"Warum bist du aus deiner Höhle? Auch ohne mechanische Flügel." The small woman just looked at him, mouth slightly ajar as she tried to think of a way to talk to him

"My name" she said clearly, gesturing to herself as she spoke, "Is Petra Ral. Yours is..?" She moved her hand to him, hoping he would understand. After a minute realisation flicked onto his face, lighting up like a beacon as he hurriedly spewed;

"Benim adım Eren Jaeger, Mein Name ist Eren Jaeger! Und Ihr Name ist Petra Ral ..? Ich denke..."

The boy edged forwards, reaching out cautiously before wrapping his hand around the edge of her cloak. His face lit up as he ran his hand up and down the fabric, a smile on his face. It disappeared in a second as the ruby webbing across his cheeks and weaving back to his eyes brightened, pulsating over his cheeks as he swung around. The beautiful aureolin wings wrapped around her carefully, hiding her from view. She heard three light thumps as other people landed on the branch before they were speaking in that language again.

"Was hast du da Eren? Sie sind normalerweise nicht der Schutz von Gegenständen wie dem. Haben Sie versucht, mit einem anderen der mechanischen geflügelten Menschen zu interagieren?" An annoyed, slightly icy girls voice spoke, the harsh tone made worse by the language they were speaking.

"Warum spielt es eine Rolle, wenn ich eine mechanische geflügelte person habe Annie? Ich werde ihnen helfen, zurück zu, wo sie jetzt sein müssen, brachen ihre Flügel." Petra trembled slightly, not feeling safe wrapped up here with no weapon. There was a nerve-wracking minute of silence before a boy's voice spoke up.

"Gut, beeil dich und nimm sie zurück. Wir helfen dir nicht, wenn du gefangen bist und sie dich angreifen, hast du es selbstmörderischen bastard?" The brunette's wings unfurled to reveal her, he quickly turned and smiled at her before tucking the small woman into his side, one arm looped around her stomach as he beat his wings. And they were flying.

AN - Heya! so this is my first fanfiction, I'm going to try and update either weekly or once a fortnight depending on how much I manage to write, hopefully, future chapters will be a bit longer than this one. Feel free to correct me on the languages, I'm using German and Turkish for Eren and German for the other 3 so yeah xD Also, I'm not completely sure where this story is going which means it will most probably be all over the place for a while. I like the idea of the main characters I'm going to be using being like a family so there may be a bit revolving around their relationships with each other but it is mostly a mystery to me.

Thanks for reading! -Silvy
