AN: First off, I haven't read all of the manga. But I do know a lot about what's going on. I'm just writing the story I came up with, with what I do know of the series. Sorry if you don't like it, but there have been worst fan fiction. Please enjoy! XD
November 23th, Year 855
The sun was beginning to rise over the wall that stood between humanity and the titans. Even though it wasn't winter yet, there was still a cold chill outdoors. Luckily, it was warm inside the Scouts Regiment headquarters. It was a happy day indeed. A miracle had just been performed. In one of the many rooms, crying could be heard. The crying of a baby. "Oh, what's wrong? There's no reason to be scared of me." Said the person holding the infant. This person is commander Hange Zoe. "Don't worry, you'll be back in your parents' arms as soon as I'm done giving you a check-up."
Before Hange could set the child down, something unusual happened. Some sort of hole appeared in the room. It was sucking everything around it inside, creating so much noise. Hange planted her feet into the ground. However, because the hole appeared so suddenly, Hange could not hold onto the child in a tight grip quick enough. The baby flys out of Hange's arms and is taken into the hole. And just as quickly as it appeared, it disappeared. "What... What just happened?" Hange said in disbelieve as she stared at where the hole was.
Just then, the door to the room opened, revealing Levi. "Hey, shitty four-eyes!" He called out. "What was all that noise?" Right when Levi asked that Eren and Armin came in at quick pace. Armin, unlike Eren and Levi, was not wearing his uniform. He even had a blanket rapped around him, now slipping off his shoulders to fall onto the floor.
"Hange, what's going on?! Where's-" Before Eren could finish his other question, Hange dropped onto her knees.
Everyone in the room was quiet . Armin's eyes begin to tear up. It didn't take him long to break down and scream "No!"
November 3rd, Year 2017
Sie sind das Essen und Wir sind die Jaeger!
The song plays through a phone, sitting on a windowsill. A girl slowly wakes up and turned off the music, which seemed to be an alarm.
My name is Honor Arlert Jeager. I'm currently twelve years old, turning thirteen in less than a month. I'm 5'1 (or 155 centimeters tall, for those who don't live in the states.), and weigh 105 pounds (or 48 kilograms). Now for me to explain my appearance. I have fair skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. My hair use to be really long, hip length. But I didn't like how long it was getting and it was in the way of a lot of things, so I cut it. Now it's armpit length. Still long, but not as long. (Sorry about going into detail on my hair. It will be important info to know, trust me.) Many people think I'm Irish, but they're always surprised whenever I correct them I'm German, and tell I'm always annoyed me. Just because I don't have blonde hair and blue eyes doesn't mean I can't be German. This stereotype is something I have to deal with, along with people thinking I support Hitler. I just moved to Utah a few months ago. Before, I lived in Arizona. But I was born in Germany, somewhere near the Trost District, I believe.
My morning routine is more or less the same. The alarm on my cell phone would wake me up. I would go downstairs to eat my breakfast. Once I finished eating, I would go back upstairs to make my bed and get ready for the day. And then I would log onto my online school, only coming out of my room to eat or use the bathroom. I'm very introverted and enjoy being by myself. Especially with the foster house I'm in. Today is Friday, so when I woke I knew that once I was done with everything for school, it would be a free weekend for me. That is what every kid in school looks forward to.
I walk down the stairs and see all the other foster children of this house getting ready to leave for school. "Look who's finally awake." Said a fourteen year old girl with ginger hair and purple eyes, Erika. Erika Burr; 14 years old, from London, England. Erika is working to become a detective.
"You know, you're very lucky that you take online school now." Said a boy with ginger hair as well but green eyes instead of purple, Phillip. Phillip Hamilton; 16 years old, from Paris, France. Phillip is a gamer, and lots of people think Phillip and Erika are related. Some even asked if they were twins. But they're not, just really close with each other.
"Honor is always spoiled!" Yelled a girl with black hair and blue eyes, Mary. "How come she gets to watch MA shows and we can't, Mrs. Jones?" Mary Granger; 12 years old, from Canada. She's taking classes in ballet.
Jennifer Jones, our foster mother. She has light brown hair and bright pink eyes and has just turned 40. After her son, Ben, turned 8, she and her husband decided to become foster parents. Ben is currently 21 years old, and has already moved out and now lives in Idaho. "Mary, you all know that Honor is in a different situation than the rest of you." Said Mrs. Jones, and this is true. This place is for anyone around the world that have nowhere else to go. Phillip's parents went to jail for selling and taking drugs. Mary's mother was a pregnant teenager. And Erika's step-father was very abusive, physically and mentally. Those are all stories that people most likely have heard before. Mine, however, is different. I was abandoned. They say that when I was found, I couldn't be older an a day old. That's why they made the day I was found my birthday. I had a waist band that said that my name is Honor, my mother's name is Arlert, and my father's name is Jeager. The military police did whatever they can to find my parents. But their efforts were fruitless, and that's how I got here. I hate it. Everyone here at least knows who their parents are. Phillip and Mary even get letters, but not me. However, that's not the only thing that makes me different from the others. "Honor, have you taken your medicine yet?" My foster mother asks.
"I will," I answer her. "Right after I have breakfast." I grab one of the hard boiled eggs from the pot in the sink and go on to peel it. Everyone was gone for school before I finished, and once I was done eating, I went back upstairs to take my medicine and do my morning routine. I put on my usual outfit. A cream, long-sleeve shirt with flats and light purple capri pants. Around two hours after I logged on for school, 10:30 AM, I got a message on Skype. It was Teal, one of my friends back in Arizona.
Teal: hey! did u no 2day is Armin's b-day? btw, thx 4 the Mikasa figure. I 3 I
We are both very into the anime Attack on Titan. Mikasa is even Teal's favorite character, that's why I got her the figure for her birthday. I respond back to her.
Honor: Of course! What kind of AoT fan would i b if i didn't.
Teal: Lol XD figures
Honor: i've seen a lot of fan art 4 his b-day on tumblr. u should check it out
Teal: OK, i will ;) so how's UT?
This question is hard for me to answer. I've been here for five months now. Things are calmer now then when we first moved in, and I'm really happy that I finally have my own room. But it's still hard. I miss all my friends and the desert neighborhood I would ride my bike around. I guess it just takes awhile to get use to change. But there is one thing I don't miss, the heat. And that's when I figured out what to answer.
Honor: 3 the fact that I'm no longer living in an oven. X3
Teal: LMAO! no arguments there. i was melting when u left
Reading that made me laugh. Since year, Arizona was a lot hotter than usual, hitting over 120 degrees Fahrenheit (Or over 49 degrees Celsius). That was when came in my room. This caught me off guard, since she doesn't really check on me. "You left your clothes in the dryer." She simply said as she put a basket full of my clothes on my bed before leaving the room again. I sigh in relief, so that's all it was. I was going to continue talking with Teal when I remember that I still had school work to do.
Honor: sorry Teal, but i have 2 go. i still have school work 2 do
Teal: that's OK, i understand. just b sure u b at the world travelers club trip in 3 weeks, k?
Honor: of course, wouldn't mess it 4 the world.
Teal: TTUL?
Honor: yeah, bye.
With that, I logged off of Skype and went back to my school work. The school I went to before switching to online had a traveling club. My friends, Natalie and Adalyn, are members of the club and kept asking me to join. I always loved the idea of traveling the world, so I did. I was also really glad that it was not just a school club. Anyone could join; even Teal, my home schooled friend. And I could stay in the club no matter where I live. Just as long as I pay for my part of the trips. This year's trip is to Germany, inside the walls, and all of us couldn't be more excited. Natalie is taking a German speaking class this year, so she's excited to see how much she's learned. Adalyn has German ancestors, so she's excited to be learning about her ancestry during this trip. Teal's just excited to visit the place where Attack on Titan took place. Me, I'm just happy to be returning to my home country. And maybe, maybe while I'm there, I'll find clues. Clues about who my parents are, why I'm like this, who I am. I really hope I do find something.
The day past by quicker than I thought, now it was five o'clock. I use to love time going by fast. Especially when I was at public school and just wanted to go home to watch anime with my friends. But because of the short time I have left, I want nothing more than for it to go slower. So that I can use it well. had called everyone for dinner, so I went to the dinning room downstairs. As we were eating, everyone was silent. It was Mrs. Jones that broke it. "So Honor, would it be alright if we had your birthday meals a week early?" She asked me. It is a tradition in this house at on someone's birthday, they would choose what breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be on that day. "I'm asking because... Since your birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, we won't be able to do what we normally do."
"I don't really care about American Thanksgiving." I simply stated.
"Does Germany even celebrate Thanksgiving?" Erika asked.
"Yeah, but we don't celebrate like people do here."
"If you say that it's the real Thanksgiving, but then give a lame answer on what it's about, like how Robin did in How I Met Your Mother. Then I'll pour this ketchup on your head." Said Phillip. We were having hamburgers and hot dogs from dinner tonight.
"No, I won't." I said back to him. "I know that the American Thanksgiving is the real Thanksgiving. And why the Germans celebrate it is not lame. We celebrate with a harvest festival, called Erntedankfest. It's held on the first Sunday of October, so one month ago. Instead of turkey, we have chicken,hens, roosters, or geese. We also have parades and fireworks. And it's not much of a family holiday."
"So, Honor?" Mrs. Jones said to get my attention. "Are you okay with having your birthday meals on the sixteenth?"
I sigh. "Sure, why not. After all, I'll be in Germany on that world trip during Thanksgiving. So it's not like I'll be here for any birthday."
"Great! What do you want?"
"For breakfast, I want bagels and cream cheese with yogurt. For lunch, sandwiches. With toasted bread from the Sourdough Eatery. And for dinner, baked potato soup."
"Okay, perfect!"
"No surprise on what she choose for dinner." Mary whispered to Erika, I glare at her to let her know that I heard her. She flick before before going back to eating her hot dog.
"Someone remind me again why this trip is during Thanksgiving week." Phillip said with his mouth full.
"It was the only time the club could manage." Mr. Jones, Jennifer's husband, said.
"Okay, whatever..."
"Oh, hamburgers and hot dogs!" Erika called out to her dinner. Clearly joking around. "You are the most American food ever." Everyone laughed but me, I only smirked.
"No they aren't." I said, as a matter of fact.
"Huh?"
"Hamburgers and hot dogs come from the Germans. So enjoy the food of my my people." Erika was silent while everyone else was laugh even harder.
After eating dinner, I just what back into my room. The questions that usually came in my head played through again. Why am I here? Why am I like this? Did they know? Was that why they didn't want me? Or did they have other reasons? But what made me came out of my thoughts was a knock at my door. After the door knocking came in Mary.
"Just because you knocked first doesn't mean you can just come in after. Wait until I say it's okay to come in." I told her, annoyed.
"And why would I do that?" She said.
"It's called manners."
"Whatever."
I sigh. "What do you want?"
"I was wondering if you have any books I can read."
"My closet is full of books. Go nuts. But not any of the Attack on Titan manga."
"Okay." She then went into my closet and came out with three books from the Harry Potter series. "Thanks."
"No problem."
"Oh, and Honor?"
"What is it now?"
"What will you do if you don't find anything on you trip?"
"And why would you ask that?"
"I just... I don't know." She said nervously. "I'm just curious."
"I already told Mrs. Jones what will happen if that is the case. But you don't need to know what that is right now."
"Okay then, see you in the morning."
"Yeah"
After changing into my pajamas, all I did for the rest of the night was play Alice Madness Returns until I decided that it was time for me to go to bed. I can't help but wonder who I got my brown hair and blue eyes from. If I have any aunts or uncles. How big my family is. Has these questions came into my head, I eyes closed and I fell asleep.
November 3rd, Year 867
The sky was a beautiful orange with pink and purple clouds has it set behind the walls. There sitting on the grass as fall wind came by was Armin. He looked up at the setting colors with sadness in his eyes.
"Found you." Said someone behind him. Armin turned his head and saw that it was Eren. "What's with that look on your face? You're suppose to be happy. Didn't you enjoy all the gifts everyone got you?"
"Eren, you know why I'm like this at the end of the day."
"You're still thinking about her, huh?"
"Don't you?"
"Of course. There isn't a day when I don't think about her."
"Twenty more days. If it's just like we're thinking it is... by then she'll-"
"Don't think about that!" Eren yelled. His hands cupped Armin's face, forcing him to have him look into his eyes. Armin had tears in his eyes that were just about ready to fall off his face. "I made you a promise. And I will keep that promise... until the very end"
AN: Hey! So what did you think of the first chapter? I'll try my best to update whenever I can. But with me working, I'm not sure when that will be. Sorry. ^v^'
