Emily's POV

It's been two days since I was forced into this timeline. I stood there with 104th Training Corps. This is so new to me. I shouldn't be with 104th.

At least I got to keep my memories. God knows how much books I read and the main character never got to keep their memories. Guess I'm lucky.

"ARE YOU DEAF?!" A demanding voice knocked me out of my thoughts. I looked up from the ground and faced Instructor Shadis.

My eyes widen, I quickly put my left arm behind me and made my right hand into a fist and placed it on my heart. "No. I am not deaf." I stood my ground.

The instructor looked at me. "Who are you and why are you here?"

"Emily. I am here to help humanity." I said trying to keep cool and not give information away.

"Last name?" He asked.

I didn't think about that. "Um… I-I have no last name." I said.

"Biggest lie I have ever heard of. No one will be leaving until you give me an answer."

Wait what. Did he seriously just say that?! If I don't give him, an answer how the heck am I supposed to change the timeline? Guess I already did with my stupidity.

I could use my Mother's last name: Leonhardt.

Or my Father's: Arlert.

"Come on. Give us your stupid last name! So we could get going!" Someone in the crowd of people yelled.

"Emily Art." Sort of sounds like my father's last name. Right? RIGHT?

Should've gone with my parent's ship name but I guess 'Art' is more suitable.

"Okay. Now since that took forever you could go and run laps for the next? Actually for the whole day."

I nodded.

I was happy that I could run. I would do it with my Mom sometimes before she had to go to work as Military Police.

Before my Mom and Dad got married she would run for awhile as training. I do it too.

I was running laps with Sasha. When I was a kid actually I would play with her. I looked at her and smiled at the memory but then it quickly turned to a frown.

This isn't my Timeline. Why would someone want me to change a perfectly good Timeline that has a great ending?

It was midnight. Wait scratch that it was absolutely night. Sasha had dropped and Ymir and Christa took her and I kept running. The only light that let me see was the ones from the dorms.

My mind drifted off. That Talking Titan. I met a Titan that could talk. That Titan had a mission for me. What would happen if I don't follow the orders from it?

Maybe that talking Titan is a Titan Shifter? I need more information.

My vision became blurry as I ran. I was slowing down to slow steps. I didn't notice I was leaning to my right before but I now noticed when darkness consumed me.

. . .

I rubbed my eyes. I expected to be lying down on the ground, not in the girl's dorm room lying on my bed. I looked out the window and saw that it was already morning.

"Oh, You're finally awake." I turned to my right a saw Christa standing there.

My eyes felt heavy, "How did I get here?"

"Oh, You wouldn't believe me but Annie carried you here." She explained.

I was surprised, "Why?". I haven't talked to mom in my time here.

"She took pity on you." Ymir said from where she was standing, "Now get up. We have some 3DMG training."

I nodded and got up. I walked out of the dorm behind the two girls.

. . .

"Art! You have finally decided to join us!" Shadis yelled at me.

"Well, It's not my fault that I was forced to run all day…" I muttered under my breath but he heard it.

"What was that?" He asked nicely, too nicely.

I sighed, "I said that I was forced to run all day by you, so technically it's your fault."

People around me looked at me with an expression that said, 'How can she talk back to the instructor like that?'

"Okay," Shadis said, "What about you go on one and let's see if you could be more than a decoy."

I nodded. Once I was set up, I showed everyone how good I was at this. I mean I do have an advantage because I already have experience.

. . .

I leaned against a wall. Eyes closed arms crossed. I breathe in through my nose and exhaled from my mouth. I was stressed. It was hard keeping a secret like Time Traveling from people. That's why I'm staying as close up as possible. If people don't know me, no reason to give information away.

I opened my eyes and looked to my left and saw My dad talking with his friends, Eren and Mikasa, Eren had bandages wrapped around his head because of the fall. Should I tell him that his belt's broken? No, Not like it's going to change much. I stared at my dad's back.

What would he do in a situation like this?

I didn't notice how long I was staring because Mikasa looked up from the table she was staring at and looked at me. My eyes opened in shock before I looked away with an annoyed expression. Then my eyes landed on my mother who was sitting at a table with people but she didn't talk. Alone. Keeping a secret of being a Titan Shifter to herself, I'm pretty sure I remember my mom saying that Reiner and Bertholdt had known when I asked her about her life with the 104th.

"I'm not kidding Armin she was looking at you. Staring." I heard Mikasa say. It took all my strength to control my emotion and not glare at Mikasa. Armin turned his head and looked at me,

"She not staring at me," Armin said quietly but I still heard.

"Well, she was looking before." Eren piped up, "But I guess she staring at Annie now." He said a little too loudly. I violently pushed myself off the wall and walked to the door, opening it violently and left. I felt my mom's eyes looking at me while I left but was cut off when the door closed.

. . .

"Goddammit, Emily!" I hissed to myself in the girl's dorm. Thankfully I was the only one there. "Nathan would know how to calm me down…" and just like that, I realized what being in this Timeline meant.

No more Alexa.

No more parent's that love me.

No more Nathan.

I couldn't control my anger. I punched the wall making a dent, wait no nevermind. My whole hand went through the wall.

"Be careful where you punch you could've hit me." a voice said, a very familiar voice. I turned my head and saw Annie - my mom. I wanted to hug her so much and hope this is was just some stupid scary dream.

But I know it's not, "How much did you see?" I asked.

She looked at me with her icy cold eyes, "I came in when you were standing there and then you punched the wall."

I sighed, "Don't tell anyone about that."

"Do you see me talking to people?" She shot back. I only nodded.

"I'm going outside," I said but she didn't nod or acknowledge me.

I walked outside and looked at myself. I noticed a red jacket wrapped around my waist. I kept walking until I was in the forest and found a nice grassy area and sat down, taking the jacket off.

I remember this jacket now, It's the one Nathan gave me for my birthday. I placed the jacket on my lap and flipped around so I was looking at the back.

I cried at what words were on the back.

'I love you - Nathan.'

Then I noticed another,

'Best friends forever - Alexa.'

I carefully pulled the jacket closer to me, hugging it.

I will finish this mission, that talking Titan wanted me to do and get back to my original timeline!

I walked back to the dorm and opened the door and noticed everyone asleep. I got to my bed and laid down. Using the jacket as a blanket the words 'I love you' and 'best friends forever' facing up.

That's chapter 2! Yeah! If you have any tips please let me know.
