Chapter 6

Where Everything Begins

A teen walked through a large gate accompanied by no one and a bag hanging from his shoulder. His gaze towards the floor and hands in his pockets, it is obvious he is trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone. To his left, he can head a group talking rather loudly, or at least, one of them was. The teen's gaze shifted towards the group, they were four and it seemed they were close. The loud one was a boy, who was jumping with excitement and saying something about the Survey Corps. The teen rolled his eyes and turned away from them, trying his best to ignore them.

The teen looked up and took in where he was. The area seemed to be a hole in the mountain, as if the area was dug out. Overall, the place seemed barren. This was the cadet training ground, the place where the teen would spend his next three years living. He turned towards the wooden structures that were tucked away in one corner of the barren area. He walked over to one of the wooden structures. He looked up and read the sign, barracks. He let out a sigh and walked in.

The other soon-to-be cadets shuffled about trying to find a cot. The beds were all bunk beds of two stories and the barracks were coed. He walked around the barracks, trying to find an open bed, finally managing to find one next to a boy with brown hair. The boy was talking with a rather short blonde haired girl.

"Excuse me," the boy said interrupting the two.

The two teens turned towards the him.

"Is this bed taken?" he said, pointing at the bed.

"I don't think so. No one's stuff is on it," the brown-haired boy said.

The teen nodded and set his bag on the bed before laying down himself. The teen took a necklace out his bag and put it on. He stared at it for a moment, as his mind began to drift.

I'm here now. Where are you though? The teen thought.

He let go of the necklace and turned over on his bed, trying to block the conversation between the brown haired boy and some girl he was obviously familiar with.

—-

The next day started early, with an instructor making sure every cadet was waking up at the crack of dawn. The teen let out a groan as he rolled out of bed. He looked up to see the short, blonde girl from yesterday was already up and ready to go. The brown haired boy said something, and the girl replied, but the teen tried his best to block them out. As he quietly put on his uniform, he overheard the brown haired boy say a name, Christa. The teen assumed that that was the blonde's name, so he committed it to memory. When the teen had finished putting on his uniform, he was the only left in the barracks. However, as he turned towards the exit, he saw the brown haired boy talking with a different blonde girl. The blonde girl seemed to asking the boy questions, but the boy would not respond. The girl walked away leaving on the boy, who seemed unable to move. As the teen walked to the door, he stopped by the brown haired boy who seemed to stare at him.

"Smooth," the teen said with a slight chuckle.

At the mess hall, everyone was gathered to eat a quick breakfast before orientation. The teen made sure to sit as far away from everyone as possible. Luckily, everyone seemed to get the message and would not sit close to him. The teen could hear all sorts of commotion going and it got to the point where he could someone get punched and crashed to the floor. The teen glanced up and saw a group forming in one corner of the mess hall. The teen sighed and ignored the commotion.

A few minutes later, all the cadets stood in rows as a bald man with a goatee walked in between them, clearly sizing them up. He then stood straight up in the center and took in a breath.

"Cadets, I'm Commandant Keith Shadis and I'm here to guide through through this hell! I want all of you to show me and everyone else here the respect they deserve! Is that understood?!"

"Yes, sir!" the cadets relied in unison.

The commandant walked in between the rows, sizing everyone up and occasionally talking to some; which led to a lot of insults. The teen ignored what they would talk about, but he silently prayed that he would not be in his crosshairs. During one of his chats with a cadet, that cadet got kneed in groin all for wanting to join the Survey Corps. Granted what the commandant said about having the ball for the Survey Corps was likely true. From there, he moved to a blonde boy with a timid expression.

"And who might you be?" the commandant asked, with his voice booming through out the courtyard.

The blonde saluted and stood up straight. "My name is Armin Arlert and I'm from Shiganshina."

The teens ears perked up at that. He glanced towards the blonde, who was still getting grilled.

He must've survived too, just like me, the teen thought.

"I feel as if, someone is drilling holes into my back with their eyes," the commandant said.

The teen turned his head forwards, but he was still caught by the commandant.

"Now, where did you come from, Ginger?" the commandant asked.

The teen saluted and stood up straight. However, he was slightly annoyed being called ginger. His hair might be red, but it still annoyed him. "I'm Taiga Kagami. I'm from Shiganshina, sir."

He could feel two stares come his way, and no doubt one of them was the blonde boy.

"So, another refugee. Are you here to get revenge or reclaim your lost home?" the commandant howled.

"Nothing of the sort. I had nothing in Shiganshina, I couldn't care less of its fate," Kagami said.

Audible gasps came from many, but a glare from the commandant silenced them.

"The why are you here?" the commandant asked as his eyelids narrowed.

"The way I see it, if I'm going to die, might as well die fighting," Kagami said.

The commandant straightened his posture and turned on his heel. "I look forward to your progress."

—

At night, as everyone convened at the mess hall for dinner, Kagami managed to sit alone again and everyone was steering clear of him. He knew it was about what he had said earlier, but was surprised that the blonde boy had not come over to him yet. However, he could feel his stares towards him and those were hard to ignore. Kagami could hear the shuffling of chairs and shouting and knew a fight had broken out. He glanced up and saw two boys at each others throats. Before anything could happen, the bell rang out signaling for everyone to return to their barracks. Kagami finished the last of his food and walked out of the mess hall. However, he did not get very far as one of the boys that was about to get into a fight stopped him, with the blonde boy beside him trying to calm him down.

Both of them were shorter than him, especially the blonde. The other boy seemed to have a scowl on his face and was clearly bothered by something.

"What's your deal?" the boy asked angrily.

Kagami rose an eyebrow. "Deal?"

"Yeah! Saying you don't care about what happened to Shiganshina! It was your home too!" the boy said, his tone rising.

Kagami let out a breath. "You know nothing about me. So, you don't have the right to judge my words."

"A lot of people lost loved ones on that day and that doesn't affect you?!"

"I'm sure you lost someone, but don't assume everyone had a happy life like you did," Kagami said, turing away.

Before his could start walking, the boy grabbed his shoulder. Kagami turned to face him, but saw the boy winding up a punch.

"Eren, stop!" the blonde yelled.

However, the boy did not listen and let his fist fly. To his surprise, Kagami caught the punch and seemed unfazed. The boy, now called Eren, let out a low gasp and his eyes widened.

"Not a bad punch. Someone got scrappy in the streets," Kagami said with a laugh. "However."

Kagami then formed his own fist and slammed it into Eren's stomach. "That was a real punch." Eren hunched over clearly trying to hold in his dinner while the blonde kneeled next to him.

"Eren!" a voice rang out.

Kagami looked up to see a girl with black hair jump up and ready punch him. Kagami dodged the punch and jumped back. Getting a good look at the girl, he noticed she was Oriental, just like him.

"So, you're like me, huh? From across the ocean?" Kagami asked.

The girl did not respond, she simply narrowed her gaze. Kagami shrugged. "Tell your friend there to leave me alone and you guys should too."

Kagami put his hands in his pockets and walked away from the three. He could feel those that were around staring at him, no doubt having just witness him punching Eren. He glanced back to see the black-haired girl and the blonde boy, Armin was his name, tending to Eren and helping him stand.

I'm not here to make friends.

—

The next morning everyone scrambled to get ready for the day, which involved ODM training. Kagami put on his cadet uniform at a slower rate compared to some of the others. The blonde girl, Christa was already up and at 'em just as the officer woke everyone up.

How does she do that?

"Hey, Taiga, right?"

Kagami turned to see the brown haired boy that slept in the bunk next to his, was putting on his boots while he stared at him.

"Yeah?"

"Who's Tatsuya? You were muttering that name as you slept."

Kagami narrowed his gaze and leaned in close to the boy. "Never say that name again, and don't talk to me."

Kagami stormed out of the barracks, leaving the boy blinking in confusion.

Everyone gathered at the ODM practice ground and found a harness attached to wires. The commandant stood in front of everyone and gave them a run down of what they were going to be doing. Their task was to balance themselves in the air and that would form as a basis to use the ODM gear.

Cadets were called up one by one and did there best to balance, some were better at it than others. Sasha, the girl that was made run across the training ground, practically used the harness as a swing set. The girl that came to Eren's defense the previous night seemed to just float in midair and the commandant gave her high praise. The boy that got kneed in the groin seemed to balance himself easily enough; Kagami did not remember his name.

"Kagami!" the commandant called out.

"Sir," Kagami said as he walked up towards the commandant.

Kagami was strapped in and slowly raised up. Kagami could feel as his feet slowly left the ground and how he quickly lost balance. Kagami stretched his arms out and regained some of his lost balance, but he still felt wobbly. He closed his eyes, took in a breath, and released it to calm his nerves. He then loosened his arms and he felt weightless and balanced. He opened his eyes to see many of the cadets staring at him and commandant giving him an approving nod.

"Not bad. You were able to collect yourself quickly," the commandant praised.

Kagami was lowered back to the ground and as he felt his feet touch the ground, he let out a relieved sigh. He removed the harness and walked away from it.

"Jaeger!"

Kagami looked up to see the boy he punched last night, Eren, walk past him. He was clearly still angry as he eyed Kagami with a scowl. As their paths crossed, Eren bumped his shoulder into Kagami's

"Sorry," he murmured.

Kagami knew he did not actually mean it and no doubt did it on purpose. Kagami turned his head and watched as Eren walked away from him out of the corner of his eye. He moved to the back of the group to watch Eren's turn at the harness. As he was risen up, Eren tried to keep his balance, but was unable to and his face met the ground. He asked to try again and was given another shot, but the same result, this time his forehead hitting the rocky soil. He tried a few more times until it was obvious that the boy was moving in and out of consciousness. The commandant hand him lowered and the black-haired girl and Armin dragged Eren away to the infirmary.

Serves him right, Kagami thought with a scoff.

The commandant called up the next person and it took a few moments before the next person walked up. Up next was the brown haired boy that Kagami still did not know the name of. As he was lifted up and his feet left the ground, just as Eren before him, his face met the rocky soil. However, Kagami noticed how he seemed to be in pain. He asked to be raised again and as he was raised up, Kagami noticed how he seemed to be staring off into space.

This guy sure is weird. Hasn't he noticed he's balanced.

When the commandant got him out of his trance, the boy was surprised to find out that he had managed to balance himself. He began to cheer as the commandant confirmed that he had managed to keep himself balanced. When he was lowered, the boy joined up with people who were likely his friends. Kagami rolled his eyes and turned away from them.

Once everyone had finished, the commandant called it day and everyone began to disperse. As Kagami walked back to the barracks he could Eren walking angrily back to the harness, with his friends right behind him. He was partially yelling his words, saying that he was going to be able to balance himself. Kagami let out a sigh, that kid seemed hopeless to him.

He sat on bed for a moment and stretched out his legs, his feel his joints loosen as he bent them again. He took of his cadet jacket and set it aside and began to dress in his casual clothes. As he did so, the brown haired boy plopped himself on the bed with a sigh of relief. Kagami raised an eyebrow, but ignored him.

"Hey, what's up with you and Eren?"

Kagami looked over and saw the brown haired boy sitting up and staring at him.

"I thought I told you not to talk to me," Kagami said.

"Sorry, but Eren made it super obvious that he didn't like you," the boy said.

Kagami did not respond, he only narrowed his gaze.

"Is because of what you said about Shiganshina?" the boy asked.

There was a silence between the two that lasted for a long time before anyone spoke.

"I think so," Kagami said.

"Does it have to do with that Tatsuya person?"

Kagami whirled around, anger plastered on his face. "I thought I told you to not mention him."

The boy raised his hands defensively. "I know, but I'm just trying to understand you. We're comrades after all." The boy smiled and Kagami relaxed his shoulders.

"No, it doesn't. He's my brother and he joined the military," Kagami said with a sigh.

"Do you know the regiment?" the boy asked.

Kagami nodded no.

"Is that why you joined up, to find him?"

Kagami nodded no again. He let out a sigh and sat down on his bed. "I'm going to be honest with you and you better not say anything to anyone. I just need to get this off my chest."

The boy nodded and leaned in. "I promise."

Kagami took in a deep breath. "I want to die."

The boy let out a gasp and opened his mouth to protest, however Kagami continued to talk.

"I'm an orphan and grew up that way. I lived off the streets of Shiganshina and Tatsuya was the same. Then one day he said he was going to join the military, saying it was a better life than being an orphan and scavenging for food everday." Kagami ran a hand through his hair. "The next thing I knew I was alone. Then the titans attacked Shiganshina and in that moment all I could think of was that I was going to die and I didn't care. Death seemed much better than living and I still stand by that."

The boy could not believe what he was hearing. The teen in front of him had accepted death a long time ago, and was ready and willing to end his life. He wondered why he had not considered suicide yet, but he was not going to say that out loud. The boy swallowed and continued to listen.

"I joined the military thinking it was the best way to die. Suicide never seemed like an option for death," Kagami said.

There was a lapse in his speech, the boy assumed he had finished.

"That's a lot to live with. But why tell me?"

Kagami shrugged. "Don't know. You seem like the understanding type."

The boy let out a breath and leaned back. "I think you should keep on living. Find your brother, he clearly meant a lot to you."

Kagami glanced down to his necklace, something the boy caught.

"Was that his?"

"No, he has one just like it," Kagami answered.

"All I got say is, if you need someone to talk to, I'll try to be that person. Though, you should try and patch things up with Eren. You're both from the same place," the boy said standing.

Kagami chuckled. "You're defiantly a weird one."

"Huh, where did that come from?"

Kagami chuckled again. "Forget it, if we don't hurry. The rabid dog will eat all the food."

"While an apt nickname, don't call Sasha that," the boy said.

The two exited the barracks and began to walk to the mess hall. As Kagami went to open the door, he heard the boy clear his throat.

"Josh."

"Huh?" Kagami asked turing towards the boy.

"Josh Kassmeyer, that's my name. If we're going to be friends, might as well know my name," Josh said tilting his head to the side.

"We ain't friends. Just comrades," Kagami said opening the door to the mess hall.

"Close enough," Josh said following him in.

—-

In the trees, a group of five zipped through them. Bobbing and weaving expertly avoiding branches with precise movements. In the distance a wooden silhouette of a titan appeared. One in the group ascended while another descended. The other three spread out and slowed down their pace. Then the one the ascended, fired himself downwards and slashed as a soft portion of the wooden titans neck, simulating the neck. The one that descended slashed the tendon on its legs. Another one appeared and the group repeated the same process.

When the group finished they returned to the starting point of the exercise where commandant Shadis was waiting for them.

"Not bad, Squad Eight. However, the second target took too long to get," the commandant.

The group let out a groan, knowing that it was going that their speed was going to be docked from their final score.

"Alright, scram, so the other group can get started!"

"Yes, sir," the group said in unison.

As they walked back to main area, the group began to talk amongst themselves.

"Man, I though we'd for sure get a perfect score this time," a boy said.

"Relax, Connie, I think we still did well," another soft spoken boy said.

"I'm just happy we didn't fail," a timid man said on the verge of tears.

"Jeez, Dazz, you're such a drama queen," Sasha said.

"What about you, Taiga, got any input on our performance," the soft spoken boy asked.

"I think we did fine. You led well, Marco," Kagami said.

Marco placed a hand behind his head. "I think you're giving me a bit too much credit."

The group chuckled, minus Dazz who still looked like he was about to cry. It had been three years since the start of training, and the cadets that had yet to drop out were separated into groups of five. Kagami was placed in a group with Connie, Marco, Sasha, and Dazz. Kagami found that he worked well with the group even if one of its members were closest thing to useless someone could be. Whatever Dazz's reason to join the military was beyond Kagami's understanding.

Since then, Kagami had come to consider his squad as people he could trust, but still kept his distance. His squad had asked him why he was distant from them, however, he would never tell them why.

As the group walked away, the commandant eyed them out of the corner of his eye. More specifically, Kagami.

Taiga Kagami. Keeps to himself to the point that he ignores everyone, but seems to be more relaxed Cadet Kassmayer. Despite that, he is willing to work with his team. His skills also speak for themselves, being able to move around with precise movements. Though he tends to just sleep while they're in the classroom. He does have an air of death around him that affects those around him.

The commandant turned back to the next group going as he wrote something down on his clipboard.

When everyone had completed the ODM speed test, the cadets gathered in the field for hand-to-hand combat practice. This was the part of training that Kagami hated the most, mostly because Eren would always try to pair up with him and every time they spared, Kagami would knock Eren to the ground. After beating him, the black haired girl, who Kagami finally knew the name of: Mikasa, would always challenge him next, but Kagami knew better than to spar with her. His usually sparring partner was Josh, who, like many others, would give the least amount of effort in actually practicing it.

"I see you and Eren have yet to make up," Josh said as he tried to punch Kagami.

"I forgot about what happened, it's his fault for still holding the grudge," Kagami said avoiding the punch and launching his own. Before his fist collided with the teen's body, he stopped shot which caused Josh to flinch. "I see you're still scared of getting hit from my punches," Kagami said with a smirk.

"I know better than to get hit by you," Josh replied.

"Says the guy who's always getting flipped over by Ms. Hard Ass, Annie," Kagami said with a smug smile.

Josh sighed and shrugged. "I guess I walked into that one."

Kagami lightly punched him in the shoulder, which caused for Josh to let out a slight laugh. "Speaking of getting flipped over," Kagami said as he looked straight ahead.

Josh turned to see Eren getting flipped over and Annie locking his arm behind his back.

"Damn, that's gotta hurt," Kagami said, wincing at the sight.

Josh did not say a word and began to walk towards them. Kagami clicked his tongue at the sight. "He think's he not being obvious."

When night rolled around, everyone sat in the mess hall. As Kagami sat by himself as usual, Josh dropped his food try in front of him and let out a sigh as he buried his face in his arms. Kagami smiled smugly.

"Refreshing bath?"

"Not you too," Josh said, his voice slightly muffled.

"Word travels fast and I saw you sprint away from Jean with your towel wrapped around your waist," Kagami said with a snicker.

"Goddammit, how does one even make that mistake?" Josh asked as his head shot up.

Kagami shrugged.

"By the way, why don't you sit with us?" Josh asked changing the subject.

"We've been over this," Kagami answered. In their three years of training, Kagami had begun to know most of the cadets that were around. Granted, he never talked to them, he just knew who they were and what kind of people they were. He felt like he knew Josh's friends better than most just because he spent so much time with him and he knew just what kind of people they were. Two of them were obnoxious to an absurd degree, Jansen and Aline, but the other was a bit more levelheaded, Albrecht, Kagami could tolerate him.

"I know, but it wouldn't help to open up to others. We spend so much time together that they've begun to wonder what kind of a person you are," Josh said.

"You haven't anything about me, right," Kagami said as he narrowed his gaze.

"Not a word, trust me." Josh let out sigh and stood up, picking up his food tray. "Look, I'm just saying, give them a shot. Plus, Aline might have slight crush on you." Josh gave a sly smile.

"Yeah right, everyone knows she literally jumps on Jean. She's even less subtle than you," Kagami said with a laugh.

Josh rose an eyebrow. "What does that mean?"

Kagami jerked his head in the direction of one of the tables. Josh turned his head to where he was gesturing and saw where Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie were sitting. Josh's face flushed red, someone else knew.

"Trust me, the act you two have may fool others, but not me. I picked up on it a long time ago," Kagami said, letting out another laugh.

Josh sat back down and leaned closer to Kagami. "How much do you know?" he said with a whisper.

"Let's just say, I know you two have a pretty solid relationship," Kagami answered.

Josh groaned. "She's going to kill me."

"I'm surprised she hasn't done so already."

Josh let out a sigh and stood up again. "Regardless of that, my offer to sit with us still stands."

"Sorry, but it's still no."

Josh nodded and walked over to where his friends were sitting, while Kagami ate by himself and in silence.

As he was just about to get up and leave, he heard the seat in front of him being pulled out. Kagami looked up to see Armin with the usual timid look in his eyes.

"May I sit?"

Kagami nodded and the boy let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks."

"Why are you here?" Kagami asked flatly.

Armin flinched, but quickly composed himself. "I know, we've never been able to speak and for the longest time, I just wanted to get to know you. We're both from Shiganshina, so I thought it would be easy to become friends.

Kagami narrowed his gaze. "I ain't looking for friends."

Armin rose an eyebrow. "But aren't you and Josh friends, or your squad?"

"We're comrades. Attachments like friends only get you killed in battle. Trust me, I know," Kagami said bluntly.

"How do you know that?" Armin asked.

Kagami looked towards his and could see the genuine interest in his eyes. Gone was the timid teen that had just sat down in front of him.

"It's none of your business."

"Then let me ask you this, why do you hate Eren?"

Kagami sighed and leaned back slightly. "I don't hate him. He just got too emotional with what I said and I guess he's still holding on to that."

"It's only when he sees you that he remembers what you said," Armin said looking down.

"Look, I'm sure he'll get over it. He just needs to focus on something else and not me," Kagami said standing up.

Armin nodded in response.

Kagami put his hands in his pockets and walked over of the mess hall and back towards the barracks. There was still a few months before graduation, so training was still going to be hell.

—-

The stars in the night shined brightly and all the cadets gathered for their graduation ceremony. They were all lined up by order of their class ranking, while in front of them stood the top ten: Mikasa, Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, Eren, Jean, Marco, Connie, Sasha, and Christa. Meanwhile, Kagami stood directly behind them having ranked number 15th overall. He could see out of the corner of his eye, Josh standing a row behind him. He and his friends had placed in the top thirty.

The commandant spoke about how they were going to join a regiment and what their duty entails. Followed by describing just how strong the top ten were. Kagami did not care for it, he just wanted all of this to be done and over.

The commandant stood in front of them and right in the center. "Cadets, in three days you'll choose which regiment you're going to join. I'm sure which ever regiment you do join, you'll use these three years of training to the fullest. Until that day comes, all of you will be reassigned to Trost, where you'll assist the Garrison with wall maintenance and patrol. However, that's for tomorrow, use tonight to rest and celebrate. Cadets, you are dismissed!"

"Yes, sir!" the cadets said in unison while they saluted.

The cadets gathered in a large mess hall where they ate and drank to celebrate their graduation. Kagami stood away from everyone and leaned against a column. He watched from a far everyone talking and celebrating, knowing this might be the last time he sees most of them. He gripped his necklace and let out a breath.

Soon we'll be reunited, be it finding each other in the military or where ever death leads.

On the table where Josh and his group sat, Josh eyed Kagami every once in a while, just to make sure he was still around. However, when he saw Kagami clutch his necklace tightly, he became worried.

Don't tell me he's thinking about it.

Josh set down his cup and stood up. "Excuse me for a sec guys."

His group nodded and continued to talk amongst themselves. Josh let out a sigh and walked towards the red-head.

"Hey, there. By your lonesome, as usual?"

Kagami let go of his necklace and rolled his eyes. "Haha, very funny."

"Look, why don't you join us, it's be much better than just standing around."

"How many times do I have to tell you the same thing?" Kagami asked.

"I know, but I just want to get your mind off of things," Josh answered.

"You're persistent aren't you," Kagami said, crossing his arms.

"One of my best qualities," Josh said with a smile.

"You're most annoying I'd say," Kagami mumbled. "You know what, I think I'm gonna get to bed. we gotta wake up early tomorrow."

He began to walk away from Josh when he felt a hand get placed on his shoulder.

"Oh no you don't. Not this time, just sit with us for a little bit. Even if you don't talk," Josh said, a sternness to his voice Kagami had never heard.

Kagami rolled his eyes. "Fine. Thirty minutes, then I'm gone."

"Awesome, now let me introduce you to everyone, officially," Josh said with a smile on his face.

As the two neared the table, the conversation between them had stopped. The four there look at Kagami, curious as to why he was there.

"Everyone, I know you guys know him, but this is Taiga Kagami," Josh said, introducing him.

"Hey," Kagami said raising his hand as a greeting.

"Well, I was wondering when I'd get to meet him," Jansen said, jumping from his seat.

Kagami blinked in surprise as the others were more then relaxed when he showed up. Kagami sat down and became the center of the conversation, even if those around him did not let him utter a word, not that he minded.

Kagami spent most of the remainder of the night with Josh's group of friends. He still found two of them obnoxious, and to an extent all of them, but still found himself enjoying the night. When they all parted way for the night, Kagami sat down against the wall of a building and looked up at the sky.

Maybe he's right. Maybe I should be a bit more open.

He then began to laugh to himself. "What am I saying? He's really gotten to me." Kagami realized that he was talking to himself, and was happy that no one was around to hear it.

AN: With that, this chapter comes to an end. Now we're on course with the main plot. I put in Kagami to have the final miracle present in this story. I know his personality is very different from his anime counterpart, but I did that to spice up the story a bit. Now, I think you noticed some OC's within this chapter. I would like to thank Legion117 for granting me permission to use them as they are his (check out his AoT story Winds Of Promise). They're going to be recurring characters throughout this story so if you want to learn more about them, check out their story. With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoyed this story and stay tuned for the next part. If you're enjoying this story, feel free to follow, favorite, and/or review. Also, you can follow me on Twitter (link in bio) for story updates and other stuff I post there.
