Monsters
A/N: I'm sorry that this took so long. College life is rough. I'm doing four stories at the same time. Not my smartest move. My goal is to update each one, once a month. Here's to hoping. Thanks for waiting. I'm actually very new to the YumiKuri community. So I don't know how well this story is going. Haha I'll try.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. They are Isayama's beautiful characters.

Chapter 3- On the Road Again.
Ymir looked around at the rag-tag group of travelers. Bertholdt and Jackson were caring some bagged, tied up person. Julia, Jackson's sister, was talking to her lover Marek about wanting a place to settle down and hunt humans. She turned to him and mentioned her wanting to start a family. Knowing she was watching him, Marek's face twisted into a horribly, forced smile, but his eyes betrayed his face and she read the fear. She punched him in the arm and walked away. The others around her she didn't know very well or at all. She ignored them. Reiner and Annie were talking in hushed voices nearby.
"How…she…close…fucking…vampire!" Were the only words Ymir could catch. They must be talking about me meeting Christa! Son of a bitch. I should have kept my mouth shut!
She felt someone brush past her, who walked up to Bertholdt without even looking at her. Ymir could tell it was a girl, even though she wore a hood. A Zetto's sense of smell was incredible. She was much shorter than her. She came up to her shoulder, barely. The girl stopped next to Bertholdt and tapped his shoulder, which she could barely reach.
Bertholdt turned to see who it was, not looking pleased in the slightest. Once he looked at her face, it immediately dropped from anger and annoyance to a soft smile and caring eyes.
"Bethelda! What do you need?" Bertholdt said, smiling slightly at his younger sister.
"What's in the bag, Bert?" Bethelda asked loudly, making all heads turn in their direction.
"Uh...Well…it's leverage." Bertholdt stammered, as droplets of sweat began to form on his forehead and neck.
"Leverage? What's that? C'mon! Just tell me, Bert!" Berthelda said even louder, causing the crowd to murmur among themselves.
"She needs to me quiet"
"She's going to attract some unwanted attention"
"Shut her the fuck up, Bertholdt"
Bertholdt looked around, sensing what the group was thinking and barely hearing their protests. The beads of sweat finally began falling. Bertholdt was in a no-win situation.
"Beth…If I promise to explain everything later, will you be a quiet, good girl? Your older brother needs that right now." Bertholdt managed to say without his voice cracking or stuttering.
"But…fine. Alright, Berty! You promised!" Beth said, not as loudly as before, but still loud enough to irritate the group. She ran off towards the back of the group, towards the two other kids in the small clan.
Bertholdt sighed with relief and looked at Reiner. Reiner and Bertholdt had known each other since reincarnation (Birth of a Zetto from the death of a human). Reiner met his gaze and let out a huff of irritation. It wasn't directed at his best friend, he was just irritated with the whole situation. If he was going to blame anyone, it would be Ymir.
"Everyone. We're taking a break. Stretch, sit down, hunt, do whatever. You have an hour." Reiner barked at the small clan, turning to them.
Ymir walked towards and tree, passing Reiner as she went. Before she got much further, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was firm to let her know that he was in control, but loose enough for her to understand that no harm was meant.
"We need to talk." Reiner muttered through gritted teeth.
Christa sat on her coffin (Yes. I'm doing this. No beds. Coffins. Let me have this. Please.) wondering when Hanji will come up and get her. She had down what she was told. Went to her room. Cleaned up. Changed. And sat on her Coffin. She was a hundred and eighty-five years old! They were treating her like a little kid.
*Knock knock knock
Christa snapped out of it and looked up to find Levi, standing in her doorway. Black eyes met blue, filled with boredom.
"Listen. If you are ever leaving this castle on your own again, you will have an escort. If you are ever to leave the underground again, you will have either Armin or Mikasa at your side. Do you understand?" Levi whispered. "I don't want to have to come get you myself, child" He added in a much more threatening tone of voice.
But…How am I going to be able to see Ymir again?
A/N: I know…I know it's short. But I'm just starting to write again. I have four stories going on (Yeah good one! Smart move!): Monsters, Bars, 104 Stories of the 104th (All SnK), and Epsilon (Halo).So the goal is to update once a month for each one of the stories. I believe it's chapter 12 has YumiKuri Smut in 104 Stories of the 104th. SO if that's your thing go read it and tell me how to improve on my Yumikuri. Negative and Positive feedback are accepted with open arms. I jsut want to be a beter writer for your guys and for myself! I'm sorry. I love you guys. Drop and review. Pm me on here or on Tumblr (auric-polaris).
