Mission: Kill Titans

chapter three: Graduation and Titans

THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS, GUYS! YOU ARE ALL GREAT! And those of you who like and follow it and favorite it! I would have updated sooner, buuuuut I was having a lazy moment. I know this may seem rushed, so sorry about that. I just want to go on and on through chapters to bore you.

I don't know if Levi may seem a little ooc, but I know he's not hard as stone or cold as ice. So I just wanted to bring that out a little bit, but you know not mushy and gushy.


Talk about your hard training. It was like we never got a break. We ran everyday, practiced combat training, used our 3D Maneuver gear on cut outs of Titans. Even though they were fake, they still freaked me out a bit. It took me awhile to cut deep enough so they couldn't regenerate, but once I got the hang of it it became natural. Like I was born with it. Still Training was hard and didn't seem like it was going to let up any time soon. After a long day everyone was eating their meals and talking among themselves. Until Eren and Jean got into one of their little fights they have on a regular bases. While it was entertaining it also got annoying. The most ridiculous thing they have ever argued about was who could finish dressing the fastest.

I leaned back in my seat and whispered to Mikasa.

"Aren't you gonna get your boy?" She straightened a little before she got up and got in between the two. I continued to finish my supper. I was ready to call it a night and get some sleep. I was almost done until I heard a loud thud. I turned around and saw Jean on his back. I rolled my eyes. Boys.

"I thought I just heard some kind of noise in here," said Keith as he opened the door. The boys went back to their seats and looked down at the table. "Anyone care to enlighten me?" No one said anything till Mikasa opened her mouth.

"Sasha just let out a giant fart, sir!" The whole room was in a fit of giggles as Sasha sat there mortified. Mikasa must have gotten her back for taking half of a bread. When Keith left Sasha had ran up to Mikasa talking uncontrollably. I hurried and finished my meal and headed to my bed. A few girls was already inside getting ready. I didn't bother to change. Just hopped into bed and fell asleep.

A few weeks later it was graduation day. I made it into the top 20. Which wasn't bad considering there were a little over 200 of us graduating. I was fine not making it in the top ten. That would just bring too much attention to myself. It already felt like I had enough attention because of my mother. I made sure I didn't make it with the top ten.

"For you trainees today, three paths are open to you." Of course I already knew what I wanted to do and it wasn't sitting on my ass all day and do nothing. To be honest I was ready for my official first day on the "job." After our graduation we all went to celebrate in one of the big halls. Everyone was there drinking and having a good time. I stood with a good friend of mine almost like a sister, Ell. Her and her parents had lived with us after my mother's death.

"Are you still thinking about joining the Recon Corps, Trina?"

"Of course," I said smiling, then I dropped it. "Why you ask?" Ell swished around her mug.

"Well I... I don't know. I've know you all my life and it would just be weird to be separated now."

"Ell, it'll be fine. I was thinking of joining The Garrison with you and then join the Recon, and maybe you could come wit me."

"Really? I..." she was interrupted by some kid talking about how we were all doomed anyway. Eren of course talked about how you had to try. The same old story he tells everyone.

"Anyway, you're crazy," she tells me after she chugged her drink. "Everyone there is just...insane."

"Hmm. Considering how we live in this world you'd think we all were insane."

"Most of us more than others...Come on lets get out of here if you want to get up early to see your lover leave for his expedition."

"Ell!" Like every hormonal girl out there, I had a crush. Who doesn't I have at least one in their life? Mine just so happened to be a certain black haired captain. Ell always made fun of me for it and embarrassed me. I blushed at the thought of him.

The next day, early morning just about everyone was outside along the roads watching as the group that was suppose to be going on an expedition. There were shouts and cheers. Ell keeping shaking me and did her little bounce she did when she was excited.

"Hey look. There's Commander Levi," someone had shouted. I looked down and saw him on his horse. He had his usual blank expression. To be honest he looked kind of annoyed. Out the corner of his eyes he was surveying the crowds. I guess out of politeness since people were sending cheers his way. I looked away quickly when his eyes laid on me as I remembered our embarrassing encounter.

Few months ago...

It was late at night and Trina couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned for a few hours then finally decided to get up and sneak out of the girl's sleeping section. There was a light breeze out and was thankful that she had on some pants and a long sleeve shirt. She made her way down a path away from everyone. She sat in a spot near a small lake and laid down to start up at the night sky. The starts were shining bright ans she wondered what it would be like to be far away from this place. Away from these walls and Titans.

She closed her eyes and listened to the outside. The wind, the bugs, and way the grass moved. It was very relaxing. She felt a light kick and snapped her eyes open.

"You're in my spot," said the deep voice. Trina looked up and saw Levi. Corporal Levi.

"Sorry, sorry," Trina said getting up. She got up too quickly and stumbled over herself into Levi. He caught her with ease of course. He held up her upper half as her legs laid in an awkward position. Trina was holding onto his arms which from what she could tell were well tone. When she realized the position she was in she scrambled to get away and on her feet so she wouldn't end up looking even more like an idiot, but it was kind of hard when Levi was holding onto her with a tight grip. Levi let out a heavy sigh.

"Stop squirming or you'll fall on your ass." Trina did what she was told and let Levi bring her up on her feet. "Tch, What?"

"I...I just thought you'd let me drop is all," she said saying exactly what was on her mind. Trina didn't know how, but it seemed like his face became even more emotionless, but then softened up a little.

"Tch, I'm not a complete jackass," Levi said in a smooth tone.

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"Is that the only word you know; "sorry?" Trina didn't know what to say. She just stood there. She watched as Levi sat down in the grass. She stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do.

"Are you just going to stand there or sit down."

"I'll...just sit." Trina sat down further enough so if she were to reach out she couldn't even touch him. They sat in silence until Trina had fallen asleep. What had seemed like five minutes had turned into a few hours. Almost time for all the trainees to get up. A nudge woke her up and she remembered where she was.

"You better get back before anyone notices your gone." Levi was kneeling down looking down at Trina. She nodded and got up.

"Thank you for sharing your spot." And with that Trina jogged back to the room to get the last hour of sleep in.

How embarrassing that day was. I think I could have just died. I wonder what he thinks of me? Probably just some little girl. I looked away as his horse had passed by me.

"Hey, Ell, Trina," Eren called out. "We're going to the wall now." I nodded at him.

"Ready for our official first day," I asked Ell.

"As ready as I'll ever be." We walked over to where we were suppose to be and use our 3D gear to get up on the wall. There was Eren, Connie, Sasha, Thomas, and a few others.

"Finally," Mina said as she saw us.

"We know, we know. Got a little side tracked, but we're here now."

"What were you doing for two hours?"

"Nothing," we both said at the same time. Which we really wasn't. It took us a little longer to eat.

My hair was still down, which could be a little dangerous. I'd hate to get my hair caught into the gear. Some poor girl already had that happen to her. I quickly braided my hair into two french braids. I had gotten pretty good at doing it myself instead of always having to ask Ell to help me. I went to go work on one of the cannons and Ell went to help Mina to fix the cannon she was working on.

Doing this didn't seem so bad. I could do this every day even though i did want to fight the Titans, but just for today is nice to work on some things and survey down below. I got up as I heard a popping noise and the wind blow harder. I hear a gasp from Eren and I turned around. My eyes became wide and everything in my body froze until a even harder wind came blowing, knocking all of us off the wall.

I put my gear into motion and had the hook sturdy in the wall. I started breathing really hard as I looked to my right and saw a big muscle hand gripping the wall. It was everyone's worst nightmare. The Colossal Titan had returned. I didn't know if the last two years of training could prepare me for what was about to go down.
