Rose Petals

Chapter 10 - Being One Of Them

Hearing the countless shouts from outside as the door slammed closed, my blood pumped more urging me to continue. I looked to my trembling fingers, watching as the blush red blood painted them.

W-What was going on with me?

I trembled as I looked at my fingers, recalling what had happened moments ago. My fingers merciless punching Sally, her mouth filled with blood as I remembered something crunching underneath my fingers, after all I did the terrible the terrible things I did to her. I couldn't help say it felt good for once.

Instead of being called names and being bullied for years I had finally felt freedom, I had let out. I couldn't but feel the tears run down my cheeks, I-I can't believe I did that. "Rose." I heard the gently voice call me, looking up I had seen Bert and Blaze.

"I can't believe I-I did that." I tugged my hair pulling on it as I curled into a ball crying, I felt the big hand run on hair as a comforting gesture, I looked up to see Bert he gave me a kind smile. Though he was huge he always was very generous of everyone in the group, at thought of our emotions first.

"It's okay, there there." He softly cooed in my ear, Blaze sat across from me he was in deep thought as he looked at me, he shook out of it. "It was bound to happen, no one could take that amount of pain of being called names all the time." Blaze smiled sadly at me.

"D-Do you know if she's okay?" He nodded, "anyway, we have to go out back again. Remember we are picking our division." I stopped, that's right.

I paused looking at him, his eyes dark, "I-I don't think I can go out there." I watched Reiner wrap the bandages around my knuckles, it was funny because at this moment I couldn't feel any pain at all.

Reiner kept quiet as he wrapped it, my blood soaking it quickly. "It's not something to miss." Reiner spoke, his voice low.

I breathed out recalling her words, "you don't understand losing someone, your just a worthless piece of shit that breaks everyone's heart. Your just fucking stupid just like your dog of a dad."

I clenched my fist, how could she say that she was clearly aware of me being alone for the past years when I had lived in the Shinganishima district. And my father. . . . . .He isn't a dog, he's a hero.

All I could say was Sally had another thing coming for her if she continued to keep this up, I won't hold back. Slowly recalling her words, I had heard of her saying I had broke everyone's hearts, did she mean as take?

I certainly was sure she hadn't liked Eren, Jean or Captain. But, there is one person, I looked to Reiner who clicked the bandages together. She liked him.

I had countless caught her staring at Reiner whenever she had gotten the chance to do so, no wonder she had never approached me since I was with Reiner.

"She likes you." Causing everyone to look at me with confused eyes, Reiner froze as he sat in front of me, "what are you talking about?" He asked.

My fingers twitched as I curled them in my lap, their gazes on me had become more unsteady which resulted me into shifting in my seat. With the candles lighting the room the room bright it had helped with their gazes of confusion.

"She liked you." Reiner froze, his arms were crossed over his bulky chest. I was stupid enough not to recognize that she had liked him since she had first seen him, did she think I liked him? Was that one of the reasons she had attacked me?

Most likely.

"Sally. . . . .She likes Reiner." I watched his dark eyes widened in shock, he gulped, I watched his adam apple bobbing, he looked flushed but bit the corner of his lip. "No, she doesn't." He claimed softly.

I licked my lips looking down at my hand, my eyes glazing over my wrapped fingers. Hearing the footsteps outside the door, I brushed the loose strand feeling the hard eyes of my friends.

"She does." I glanced at Blaze, who eyes had seemed to be lost in thought. "So what of it?" He spoke lowly, his eyes casted downward. So what do I care of her!?

After all she done to me I shouldn't give a flying crap about her.

"After what happened, I don't think I would date someone who had anger issues." This caused him to laugh lightly along with Bert and Blaze. I shifted my eyes out the window watching as everyone had started to get ready to pick their regiments.

"Shall we go?"

"As you already know the top 10 candidates have been picked already, now we will introduced the leaders of each division." First that had come up was Pixis, than after him was Niles. He glared at me the entire time, I did the same. Don't expect to play will fire when your going to get burn.

After him was Commander Erwin of the Scouts, "in a month we will begin a expedition outside the walls along with the new recruits, I won't feed lies into your head. But you have seen what the Titans are capable of and how deadly they are, that is all I have to say, you are dismissed if you are choosing another division."

With that I gave him a long stare, he looked at me with a approving smile, I was going to follow my father's steps and do what he did. Be a Scout.

Hearing the loud amount of people leaving I closed my eyes, as I felt the tugging on my hand. Looking I had seen a grinning Blaze along with Reiner and Bert, I smiled at them. Than at that moment I had seen London as she passed with along with Sally, "hope you die soon." Sally whispered.

I felt my chest tighten with anger, seeing the way she had looked in her state had set a smile to my face. She had a bunch of bandages wrapped around her neck and head, than a small one on her nose, her face had started to form dark and black bruises.

I laughed as she passed, "your one to talk." I snickered at her. Seeing her figure disappearing in the darkness.

I breathed through my mouth looking ahead, seeing barely 20 people had stayed. "For those who have chosen this regiment you have earned my respect." Commander Erwin had caught my eye, I saluted him like the rest, but this time with a proud smile.

The next day we had gotten to the headquarters of the Scouts, I felt happy that I had finally got here after all the work that I had done, Blaze nudged my shoulder. "What's on your mind?" He asked, I smiled at him.

"I am finally here." He sighed nodding to, "me too." I raised an eyebrow looking at him, he nodded giving me a curt nod before rubbing the back of his head looking away. "Is there a reason why you came here?" He blushed harder at that.

"Yeah, my brother is here, and I had always wanted to be a Scout." My eyes widened as he mentioned he had a older brother, I looked at him amazed by this. "Yeah," he said lowly. At that I started to cooe towards him, "awwww you're here because of you brother, your so cute Blaze." He blushed more trying to cover my mouth.

"S-Shut up will you." I laughed as I pulled his hands away, Bert and Reiner looked at us strangely we only gave them a nervous laugh. "Welcome to the Scouts regiment, I hope you will enjoy it here" A older man said, rubbing horses head.

"I am Rob, I am gonna be your tour guide around the base, now where are those capes, I thought I told him to get it." Rob frowned looking around, he sighed running a hand through his hair. He suddenly stopped and sent a glare to someone behind us, "Carter, where were you?" Blaze froze at the name and looked behind.

"Oh, you know same old." Blaze turned around, facing a curious blond haired guy, with dark grey eyes. "Blaze?" Carter caught his younger brother in mid air as he engulfed him in a hug, I smiled at the sight of them.

"Hey, hands those out first than you can hug after." Carter was handing everyone the capes, I smiled as they put it on with proud faces. I waited for a few moments until Rob had given me one, he gave a smile handing me the cape.

"It was your father's." I held it within my fingers as I admired it, perfect. I held it tightly to myself as I breathed in the scent, reminding me of the woods. "I see you like your cape." Reiner spoke, he looked slightly confused.

"It was my fathers." He gave me a light smile patting me on the head, Bert smiled at me. We were all happy, but with the expedition coming up I was sure everything around that time would go downhill from their.

Reiner's lips pulled together as Blaze nearly came stumbling into me, "introduce me to your friends." His older brother, Carter spoke with glee in his voice as he examined Reiner than Bert all together.

"Right. ." Blaze trailed off giving his brother a look, "well since you won't do it, I'll do it myself." Carter looked at me with a smirk, I sighed. Please don't be the complete opposite from his younger brother.

"I am Carter, this turtle's older brother, let's see, I been in this regiment for about." He lifted his fingers counting the years, I looked to Blaze giving him a assumed look as he looked down in embarrassment.

"2 years, I am in Hanji's squad. If you don't know her, wait till you meet her." I smiled at his words, the way he spoke was like he was carefree about everything, hopefully he was skilled as well, but looking at Blaze I am sure that his older brother is.

"Come on, let me show your rooms." Carter had taken me, Reiner, Bert and Blaze showing our rooms, we all found out soon we weren't really that far from each other about 4-5 doors down each other.

"Tomorrow, in the morning training will start sharp at 8 o'clock, don't be late. Oh, and dinner should be serving about now." He looked down to his watch leading us to the mess hall. I bumped shoulders with Blaze as Reiner stood to his left as Bert was standing tall on my right.

"Nice brother you got." Reiner spoke, causing Blaze to stuff his hands into his pockets as he walked along the hall. "Sure." He bit the side of his lower lip. I could immediately sense that he was enjoying the feeling of meeting his older brother again, must be a wonderful feeling.

"Sadly looks like you aren't with your other squad." Bert spoke gently glancing out the corner of his eye. "Actually there is one person, her name is Porsche," he said with a light smile looking at me.

"She is. . . . .Pretty energetic." He spoke calmly, I raised an eyebrow. Well looks like we are going to have a lot of positive energy in our group.

"Really? I didn't see her with our group when I first meet you guys." I frowned titling my head as I looked at the light becoming brighter and brighter, hearing the shuffles of feet and the clacks of plate even the loud laughter along with the roaring conversations.

"Oh, her she was with her boyfriend." Stopping in front the door, I watched as we had seen a mass of people in one place together, we had stayed in line waiting patiently as we talked among ourselves.

"Blaze!" I watched as the arms of a Scout wrapped around him, he jumped as the arms squeezed him tightly, he let out a light laugh as the girl looked at him with a bright smile. Her long blond hair was tied back it in tight ponytail.

"Porsche." He gave her a smile in return, beside her stood a tall kind boy his eyes a deep color of blue with dark brown hair. "And Robin." The guy took a step forward, "glad to see you here."

Porsche eyes widened as she looked at me, her wandering dark brown eyes caught mine, a smile seemed as if it was planted on to her face and it was unusual to see it. "And you must be the daunting Rose I heard of." I raised my eyebrows as she gripped my shoulders.

"Uh, hi?'

Sorry this chapter took a bit longer, I tried to start right after when Rose had gone. . . .Cray cray.

Anyways I REALLY appreciate the comments.

Anyway you guys really like Captain Levi, me tooooooooo! But I like Eren and Jean as well soo I am screwed on picking my best character.

Levi - The short, sexy bad ass, known as the cold hearted guy, but deeper on the inside a warm and nice person.

Eren - Hot green eyed guy, who is determined to destroy all the Titans. But very considerate when it comes to his comrades, the hell this guy CAN turn into a Titan.

Jean - Straight forward guy, puts his eye to one girl and is willingly to do anything for her, in order to protect her (referring to Mikasa, when he saved her) - in manga
