Disclaimer: I do not own Attack on Titan or any of its storyline/characters

I own Skylar though~!

I am just on a roll with updates! Strangely it makes me happy and even stranger I have really been in a good writing mood if that makes sense? Like I've been filled with ideas and have actually really been wanting to write! Isn't that great?

Anyways here Is chapter 10!

"Where am I?"

"This doesn't look familiar..."

"This isn't my bed..."

Skylar immediately sprang up from the unfamiliar bed and was a tad startled to find she had no clothes on. With a few curse words she scrambled around the room scavenging for something to wear. After much searching she found a familiar shirt that she couldn't quite put a name to. The tanish shirt fell to the middle of her thighs but she figured that would have to do. Silently the small girl freaked open the door to the bedroom and stealthily crept through the hallway. She had to get to the Scouting Legion and figure what's going and get some actual clothes.

After emerging from the hallway she was greeted with a simple room with a small kitchen and dining room table. Now that she thought about it the entire home gave off a very friendly and welcoming vibe. What really caught her attention was the person sitting at the dining room table reading a newspaper. She could tell it was a male from his build and he had shaggy brown hair. The man apparently took notice of her and turned causing Skylars breath to catch in her throat.

"Eren?"

"It's about time you woke up. It's already late in the afternoon."

"Where are we? Was the breach in wall Rose closed?"

"No more like the breach in wall Maria is. We're at my home in Shiganshina remember we rebuilt it after the breach was closed. Did you have another one of those silly dreams where we we're in the Scouting Legion still? That was years ago!"

"Haha was it now? I guess it was... It felt so real. It was like I was taking shelter in that castle with everyone all over again."

"Hey it's fine now."

Eren had stood up and approached the still rather confused and disoriented Skylar. The girl couldn't help but notice that Eren had grown taller and had a different air about him. He lost his boyish charm and in turn gained a new sort of manly charm. If Eren had grown and changed did she as well? She cast her hazel eyes down and examined her body. She didn't feel any taller but her hair was much longer. Her skin had a sun kissed glow to it now and her body itself had also taken on more of a womanly charm than before. All of this was a bit to much take in and Skylar found herself about ready to fall. At least Eren was there to catch her before she did.

"Sorry got a little dizzy there."

"It's fine maybe you should just take a break and sit?"

"NO! I want to go down into the basement!"

Skylar had torn herself free of his grasp and headed towards the basement. She knew she shouldn't have known exactly where it was but she did. That was something that the auburn haired woman could think about later. Her mind to focused on opening the door to where all the answers were.

"Wait don't!"

Ignoring Eren's warning Skylar pulled the door open and her hazel eyes widened in shock.

CRASH!

When Skylar had opened her eyes once again she found that she was on her sstomach and her face was resting on the street. What happened? She opened the basement door and then there was a crash. Skylar attempted to move but she found that she couldn't feel the lower half of her body. A quick glance behind her explained why. Her lower half was smashed underneath the home; on top of the rubble was a giant foot. Hazel eyes looked up and saw something she didn't want to see. The colossal titan...

This entire situation felt familiar but once again Skylar couldn't quite figure out why it did.

"Don't worry I'll get you out of there! It'll be fine!"

That's why it was so familiar! Skylar watched as Eren tried to free her of the debris. Eren had once explained to her in great detail about what happened to his mother. It was horrifying to hear as a story but to experience it was a completely different thing in general. While Eren was focused on lifting the debris off of her, Skylars eyes were focused on something else. Footsteps were coming towards them and that caused Eren to turn around and see what had Skylars attention. Approaching them now was the armored titan and Eren doubled his efforts in trying to free her.

"Go! Leave! There's no helping it i'm stuck here!"

"No it's okay I can get you out!"

Just like that Eren was plucked up by the armored titan and taken away the colossal titan following along. "Why?" a simple whisper as a different pair of hands pulled her from the rubble with ease. She knew all to well where this was going. This was-

"-bad news guys wake up! Titans are here! Get to the roof now!"

The Scouting Legion cadets sprang right to their feet. It didn't matter if they were still groggy or not. Titans were titans and they needed to do something about it. Everyone rushed up to the top of the tower. Once at the top they were greeted by the horrible sight of at least a dozen titans. It was night time though so why were they moving around? Titans couldn't move without light and moonlight didn't count right? While most of the group was focused on the nearby titans Connie had spotted something in the distance.

"H-Huge! Look at that one!"

Off in the distance was another titan that was nearly 17m tall and it was covered in fur. It looked more like a beast than anything but it seemed to pay no heed to the humans in the tower. It was more focused on the wall as it walked along. Most of them stared at it with confusion and fear but Reiner and Berthold almost appeared to be a in trance of sorts. A sudden shaking in the tower brought everyone's attentions back to the bad situation at hand. The larger titans were ramming themselves against the not very sturdy sides of the tower and the smaller titans were breaking down the door. The few Scouting Legion members with gear looked at the younger ones that were weaponless.

"Sorry for putting you guys in this kind of situation without anything to fight back with. It's our fault for not taking this seriously and telling you guys you wouldn't need gear. You rookies step back; it's the 3D gears turn to talk now. Let's get these fuckers!"

With that said their superiors jumped from the castle and engaged combat with the titans. The group of young cadets watched in awe as their superiors were making quick work of the titans. They were so skilled and worked so well together. None of them had the best of language to use but when you were that badass it didn't matter anymore. A few minutes later one of them had returned back to the top of the tower where the cadets were waiting.

"Titans got inside! You need to go deeper into the dower and set up a barricade! We can't let them break through our defenses since our gear is useless indoors. Come back here if they do break through our defenses and we'll try to come and save you if any of us are still alive by then. Not sure how long our gas and blades supply is gonna last us but lets keep fighting until our last break. Okay?"

"Roger!"

The cadets all rushed down the stairs of the tower. Reiner grabbed a torch and turned to his fellow comrades looking as serious as ever.

"I'll go check how far they've penetrated into the tower! You guys go find wood or anything you can and bring it here!"

No one even got a chance to protest his plan as Reiner took off down the stairs going much faster than any of them ever could. Reiner was always like this though, always taking on the most dangerous jobs and it worried all of his comrades. However Reiner was the strongest one among the cadets that were currently present within the tower. Even though everyone was worried for their friend they still quickly got to work on gathering all the materials they possible could. While they did that Reiner had gotten pretty far within the tower without encountering any titans. Finally he reached an old wooden door with a simple plank of wood as a lock. With a sigh he lifted the rather heavy piece of wood with little effort. He shown the torch in the hallway outside of the door and was greeted with the smiling face of a titan climbing up the stairs. Without a moments hesitation Reiner slammed the door shut and placed the piece of wood back in its place. He then placed his back against the door using all his strength to hold it shut as the titan on the other side slammed its body into the door repeatedly.

"There's a titan down here guys! Bring me something to barricade the door with!"

Reiners voice echoed up the stair case and he could only hope that someone had heard him. An arm had smashed its way through the door Reiner couldn't help but feel more than a little shocked. It was breaking through the door already? At this rate he was gonna die down here. Was this really where his short life meets its end? His thoughts than drifted to a memory back to when him and Berthold were just kids. All he could remember was a giant hand coming right at him and then Berthold tackled him out of the way. The hand back then had grabbed one of his friends instead and ate him. He wasn't sure why he was thinking of such a thing now but for whatever reason it made him jump away from the door right as the titan had smashed its upper-body through the door.

"Reiner!"

Reiner turned his head to the familiar voice of his friend who had come to save him once again. The extremely tall man was carrying a pitchfork and he slammed the object right into the titans eyes causing it to howl with pain. The two of them together would return back to there home town with no problems. So long as they always stuck together like this they could do anything. Reiner stood up as well and grabbed onto the handle of the pitchfork and with their combined strength they jabbed it even farther into the titans skull.

"We'll definitely make it back to our home town!"

"Y-Yeah!"

"Reiner! Berthold! We got something for ya! Get out of the way!"

Their other comrades had come to the rescue with a cannon. They had no gun powder or cannon balls but the weight of the cannon itself would be a great way to block the door. The two burly men dove out of the way as the others shoved the cannon down the stairs. The cannon smashed right into the titan effectively immobilizing it. They decided to leave it there seeing as it definitely wouldn't be getting up anytime soon but right as Connie was passing by the door another titan had appeared. Reiner was the first to act and shoved the smaller boy out of the way as well as pushing the titan away. The titan then retaliated by clamping its jaws into Reiners forearm. The muscular man just grit his teeth and threw the titan over his back and slowly made his way up the stairs heading for the window. The others quickly picked up on his plan and attempted to stop him right as he reached the window.

"Wait you can't be planning to jump out of the window with that thing!?"

"Here if I just cut the muscles in his jaw he'll let go of your arm!"

Connie who thankfully had managed to find a knife worked on the titans jaw. His hands slightly shaking from the pressure of the entire situation and blood was covering them now thanks to the titan. Somehow the boy had managed to cut Reiners arm free. The two backed away from both the window and the titan and it was the girls turn to help out now. Both Skylar and Ymir took positions on either side of the window and right as the titan was about to get up they kicked it right out the window. The group then quickly retreated back up the stairs to where they had made a decent barricade. Once in the temporary safety of the room Christa began to treat Reiners injuries while the rest of the group discussed what to do if the barricade was destroyed again. The blonde made a very good nurse cleaning the wound on his arm, getting a brace for it, and even tearing her skirt to create a sling for him.

"I cut my finger to Christa!"

"That's barely even a cut Ymir! Besides I'm sorry Reiner it seems like all you do is save me...You never hesitate to put your life on the line. Have you always been like this?"

"No in the past Reiner was a warrior."

"Ha what are you even going on about Berthold? A warrior? What's that supposed to mean?"

It had become awfully silent now that Ymir wasn't trying to get treated by Christa and the boys had dropped the subject of the whole warrior thing. Sklyar limped her way over to the window looking out and seeing the progress that their commanding officers had made.

"Damn the Scouting Legion is just on a completely different level than the rest of the military."

"I would hope so after all our chances of surviving completely rely on them."

It got silent once more and everyone was left to their own thoughts. Christa being the most sociable person in the group decided to make small talk or at least try and be of some use.

"How's the leg? Can I help with anything?"

"Ah it's fine most of its internal so there's not much to patch." Skylar replied her gaze still directed outside.

"Hey Christa I think twisted my ankle you should come check it out." Ymir grinned attempting to get some attention from the blonde again.

"What were you dreaming about? I think all the moving about you were doing might have made your leg worse." Spoke Christa.

"Was I really moving that much?" The busty girl was surprised at this seeing as she didn't commonly do such things or even really dream.

"Yes! You were mumbling a lot to! Couldn't get much sleep cause of it." Connie grumbled out a little curious now as well.

"It's silly but I guess I might as well tell you guys so you don't get the wrong idea or anything. In my dream the armored and colossal titan were in it and they kidnapped Eren. Silly I know. Why would two titans like them take away Eren?" Skylar laughed.

"Yeah that's just ridiculous Skylar! Psh the armored and colossal titan taking Eren!" Reiner laughed rather loudly.

The cadets then heard a loud crash and the tower shook a little. Worried as to what happened all of them rushed up the stairs only to find two of their commanding officers dead. The other two that were still alive looked a little worse for wares. They must have been tired from all the fighting they had to do. They said some sort of boulder had come from the direction of the wall and it killed the other on impact. Connie thought it was that ape titan that was throwing the boulders at them and it was the most reasonable explanation they had. If boulders flying at them wasn't bad enough another group of titans had shown up and this one was twice the size of the last. Its like all of this was going according to some sort of plan. Like fate or something else was just toying with them. The remaining two officers jumped from the tower once again engaging combat with the titans. Even though the two of them fought bravely it was useless in the end. There were just to many titans and they didn't have enough gas or swords left to take them on. At least the two of them went out fighting a brave and noble death. How many titans had they killed here? To many to count but it was satisfying knowing that before they died they had killed so many of those vile creatures. None the less when death came it was painful and cruel and the cadets had to watch every second of it feeling as useless as ever. At this rate the tower was gonna fall apart and they would just be eaten by the titans afterwards. It was a hopeless situation.

"I wish my death had some sort of purpose..." Connie sighed as he slide down against the wall.

"We can all die fighting together!" Christa tried to encourage the group.

"Stop with the bullshit Christa. Don't look at this as a convenient way to commit suicide... Maybe you've forgotten our promise back then but remember what you promised me back in the snowy mountains during our training?"

The rest of the group watched in silence as the two had what could only be described as an intimate moment. Christa was getting teary eyed and you could practically see her think back to what had happened in those mountains. Ymir was resting her hands on the blondes shoulders clearly waiting for a response before she took action.

"I-If I tell you my s-secret you will claim your r-real name back and live under it."

Ymir smiled at Christa as the blonde spoke the words she had spoken to her so long ago. The brunette let go of the blondes shoulders and stopped to look at first ray of sunlight from the morning sun. Would this be their last dawn? Ymir sighed and figured it might be for her but she would make sure it wouldn't be Christa's last. The freckled woman snatched the knife away from Connie and climbed up onto the wall of the tower.

"What are you planning on doing with that?"

"I'm gonna fight."

"How?"

"I dunno yet... Christa I have no right to tell you how to live your life but consider it my last wish that you live with your head held high."

Before Christa could choke out a reply Ymir had jumped right off the tower with knife in hand. Christa let out a scream and nearly jumped after her brunette partner but Skylar held the blonde back her hazel eyes watching Ymir carefully. In mid air the brunette slice her hand with knife and at that moment Skylar knew exactly how that woman planned on fighting. The area was then flooded with a familiar bright light and in the place of Ymir was a titan. It was no 15m class like Eren or even had the lean body with mucles. No if anything Ymirs was small in size and a little on the chubby side. Despite the chubbyness and shortness in size Ymir was extremely fast and had razor sharp teeth. Who would have guessed that Ymir was a titan shifter? It made Skylar wonder who else was as well?

"Christa, I used to think like you do. I used to honestly believe that it would have been better if I was never born. I was hated for simply existing in this world and when I died many people were happy. However I did have on the thing that I wished for with all of my heart. If I ever get a second chance at life I would want to live only for myself and that was my biggest wish. I hope that you realize this one day and are able to live just like how I wished to. If I'm still alive after this I still expect to hear your real name and will call you by it all the time so long as you're not afraid of me."
