Chapter 1
{Morgaine P.O.V.}
I looked down to see that my hands were covered in blood. I gasped and screamed, falling to ground I shake in fear. I look at my hands again, hoping that what I had seen was all apart of my imagination. It wasn't, the blood was still there. It was still wet and fresh, as if I had just killed something using my own hands as a weapon.
I looked around myself at my surroundings. People stare at me in fear, they slowly start backing away from me. I could hear mumbling from the crowd. . "She's a monster… She should die… She shouldn't even be alive…"
' What are they talking about?' I look at my hands then back up to the crowd. Suddenly memories flash through my mind, I remember it all… I . . I'm a ti-
I shot up and panted heavily, my breathing was hard and raspy. It was all a nightmare, thankfully all a nightmare.
I lean down, my head inbetween my knees with my hands holding my head. ' What was all that? It all seemed so real. . I ' my thoughts were cut off by a knock at my door.
I pulled the blankets off of myself and got up, opening the door. I look and see my dad, he's smiling at me.
"You ok kiddo? I heard some moving around?" he asked me.
I smiled back, "Yeah I'm ok, just got a little tangled up in the blankets" I fake laugh. My dad didn't notice thankfully, he turned to go back downstairs. "Alright, breakfast is ready. You should eat before you head off. . " He looked back at me and smiled lightly.
He was obviously upset with my decision to leave and join the military. Especially since I chose the Scouting Legion.
I nod, watching him go down the stairs. I close my door and sigh, leaning against it. ' I hope I'm making the right decision. .' I quickly ignore the thought, and start to get dressed into my uniform. I head across the hall to the bathroom. I quickly brush my hair and teeth, then head down stairs.
My father is waiting at the table for me, I sit down smiling. We start to eat, the silence is loudest thing I hear. If sound was soft, then this silence could cut through 10 titans.
"You do know I can visit, right?. . I'll see you when I can. I promise" I say looking at my dad, hoping that he would truly smile.
He stops eating and looks at me, "I know. . I just. . ."
He didn't need to say anymore, I jump out of my seat and quickly hug him. He holds me in his arms, his hand running through my hair.
" Just come back to me, please. I don't know what I'd do if I lose another person I love. " He tells me, holding me tighter.
" You won't lose me, I'll come back always. . I promise" I smile, fighting back the tears that dare come.
A knock at the door forces us to pull apart, Dad opens the door and looks at me. He smiles, " Looks like it's time for you to go ". I head towards the door, I turn to my dad and solute him goodbye and head out the door.
A few scouting soldiers on horses surround my house, they are talking with one another and a few are looking at me. A tall man with dark blue eyes, and blonde hair comes up to me. I solute to him, he nods " At ease. I'm Commander Erwin Smith, I'm sure you knew that though. Since you are quite a soldier, if I do say so myself." He smiles lightly.
I blush lightly and nod, " Thank you sir, it's an honor to meet you. "
He smiles " Do you have a horse? Or do you need one? We have plenty. "
" I have one sir, I'll go and get him. He's in his stall in the back. " I quickly run to the back towards Emerson's stall. He whinnies quietly, waiting for me to open his stall. " Easy boy, I know you're excited like me. " I open his stall and bring him out. He's all saddled up. ' Dad must have gotten up early and saddled him. . ' I jump up onto his back, heading out to the front.
Commander Erwin and the others are ready and waiting for me, I go towards them. Erwin calls out to us and leads they way to HQ. All of us fallow behind quietly, while I look at the soldiers surrounding me. I recognize most of them, Squad Leader Hanji Zoe, Petra Ral, Oluo Bozado, Eld Jinn, Gunther Schultz, and Corporal Levi Ackerman.
' I wonder why they all came to pick me up, I'm just one soldier. It could be because I suddenly joined so late. ' I thought to myself about logical reasons as to why they all showed up. None seem to make sense though, I sigh.
" What's the matter freshie? Regretting your decision already? " Oluo comes up and harasses me.
I glare at him and he backs away slowly, and quietly, mumbling to himself. I look straight ahead and see that Corporal Levi is staring straight at me. I stare back, forgetting the somewhat awkwardness filling the air. He eventually turns away, never blinking.
' That was. . odd. .Is he always like that?' I raise my brow curiously.
It wasn't long after and we see the HQ in the distance. We are soon in front of HQ, and dismount our horses.
Emerson whinnies, begging me to take him for an actual outing. I pet his main and smile lightly, ' Sorry bud, maybe later '. He looks at me as if saying ' alright'.
" You can put him in the empty stall next to mine. " I look towards Erwin as he spoke.
" oh.. um alright. Thank you sir. " I pull on Emerson's rein, leading him to the stalls. ' Weird, isn't the Commander's stall next to the Corporal's? I thought only higher ups can use those stalls. . '. The stalls were clean, extremely clean.
I look at them for a while, trying to find my stall. I quickly spot it and bring Emerson in. I put his reins around his neck and pet his neck.
Erwin comes in with his horse with a bucket of oats. He sets the bucket on a hook, pets his horse and looks at me. " Come with me "
I nod and pet Emerson one last time and fallow Erwin.

I sit quietly in Erwin's office as he sorts through paperwork. " Um sir? Why am I here exactly, shouldn't I be. . . training? "
He looks up and sets the paperwork aside, " Actually I needed to ask you a few questions regarding your paperwork. ". He pulls out papers from his desk and hands them to me. I take them and look at them.
" Is there something wrong with it? " I ask ' I filled everything out. . '
He looks at me and sighs, " You didn't put down your parents name"
I quickly reply " Yes I did, it says here-" I point at my fathers name " Samuel Aaron Klein ".
Erwin sighs again and looks at me, " Cadet Gilmore- "
" Please call me Morgaine, using my last name makes me feel old"
He starts again " Cadet Morgaine, did Samuel ever tell you that you were adopted? "
" he never had to tell me, I remember my past very clearly Commander ". Silence filled the room, Erwin looks at me and I look back.
" Then Cadet Morgaine, you should know that the paper clearly states that biological parents only " He hands me pen " So please write down both of your biological parents names"
I stare at the pen and look at the paper, I put the paper on his desk. " I'm sorry Commander, but I don't know their names. No one remembers my mother or my father, after my father left I moved to an orphanage in Trost. It wasn't long afterwards, my father came back and burned the house down, along with everything inside it. " I stop and wait for him to say something.
" I see, then perhaps it is on your birth records? " he asks leaning forward on his desk.
" No sir, all my father's, mother's, and my records were in the house. The orphanage had to call my birth doctor to fill out a new birth record, but because he was old he forgot their names and could only fill out my birth date. Even my birth date could be wrong. . ." I didn't care what I told him anymore, it was all necessary to tell him. Besides I didn't think much about my past, after all there was not much to really think about.
Commander Erwin is silent, he then sits up and takes my paper. He gets up and walks over to the fireplace, he tosses the paper into the fire.
" Sir, what are you-!"
" There's no need for the paper, you provided me with all the information I need. Besides no one else needs the paperwork. " He looks at me.
I watched the paper burn quickly, it became a pile of ashes in seconds. I look at the Commander.
" Now then, I'm sure you have your own questions. " he walks to his seat and sits back down. " I'm sure I can answer most of them right now. You are in Levi's Squad, under his recommendation of course. Which is why we came to get today. "
" Then won't he need-"
" Levi doesn't care about anyone's past, all he cares about is here and now. Besides, if I say he is not to know about your past, then he is not to know about your past. " He tells me, his face is serious. " Now then, may ask you more questions? "
' What else does he want to know? More importantly, why? ' I look at him, thoughts race through my head. Before I could answer, he had already asked.
" You wouldn't by any chance know Grisha Yeagar, would you? " He looks at me silently, his face emotionless yet serious,
" He was my doctor that treated me when I was younger, I also remember his wife and son. . " I tell him, I look down at the floor as the memories flood my mind. " They treated me like family, even after I was adopted by my father. After a few years though, I lost contact with them."
He was thinking about something, he was so serious. " Is there anything else you remember? Something that. . just sticks out? " he asks.
Suddenly a memory I thought I had long forgotten flashed through my mind. " . . Yeah, actually there is. . Grisha gave me a vaccine to treat my illness that I had, he never said what it was exactly. After the vaccine though, I never got sick again. To this day I've never been sick or seriously injured, let alone bruised" I forgot who I was talking to for second, and just completely went on about something that I never wanted to talk about.
He nodded, " Morgaine, would you like to meet his son, Eren? "
I smile and my smile quickly fades " Eren. . Eren! Isn't he locked up though? I heard he could change into a titan. . ". I remember all the headlines in the paper, I never expected him to change into a titan. I changed some of his diapers for fucks sake.
" He can, but that doesn't mean you can't see him. Fallow me. " Erwin gets up and heads towards the door. I quickly fallow behind.
Alright, that's all for this chapter! I don't own anything from Attack on Titan, all credits go to the respectful and talented artists, producers, and owners.
Honestly, I just love Attack on Titan so much that I made this character for pure enjoyment. It will fallow some episodes/chapters in Attack on Titan. Most will be tweeked for this fanfiction though.
Thank you for reading, and please tell me what you think!
I have a picture on deviantart of Morgaine, although it has a skeleton titan ( from another fanfiction that I have not and most likely will not write) . Just check out my gallery to see what she looks like if ya want to.
Valoriepopcutie

Y'all have a goodday/night!
