***Chapter note the italics means it's in another language***

Eren had officially joined the Survey Corps and I was strangely excited about it, I didn't know him very well but after that electric attraction we had I wanted to know more about him. Levi made every attempt at keeping us apart, if we would walk past each other Levi was right there standing in between us.

We were cleaning out one of the old HQ's that was long abandoned but we needed someplace close to keep an eye on the titans we captured and someplace with enough room for Eren just in case he goes all titan again. I had just finished cleaning one of the many rooms for the fifth time before Levi approved of its cleanliness. I walked into the next room and saw Eren scrubbing the floor, there is no way Levi is going to approve of this room, I can wipe the dust and grime off with my finger.

I didn't realize Eren was staring at me until I heard him clear his throat, I turned and gave him a small smile. "What's up, you look like you can use some help." He nodded throwing down the scrub brush. "Yeah Captain Levi has me doing this room for the tenth time it looks clean to me." I shook my head and pointed to the walls and shelves. "Make sure you clean top to bottom, it will save you a lot of time and stress from Levi," I said sweeping the dust from the walls and failing at reaching the roof and it's cornered.

Eren walked up to me and took the broom from me and reached up dusting out the corners and pulling cobwebs down. "Thanks as you may know I'm not exactly the tallest person around, anyway let's move on to sweeping then we can scrub," I said taking the broom from Eren and sweeping the now dirty floor.

"Armin used to talk about you all the time, he really likes you. I never thought I would get the chance to meet you and here you are. You're a lot prettier than I thought you'd be too." I looked over at him but he was looking down at his feet. "I miss him too and it's nice to officially meet you Eren, I'm Star Smith the only living relative of Erwin Smith," I said holding out my hand for him to shake. "Eren Jaeger, it's nice to meet you too." He took my hand a flow of electricity ran through my body just like the day before.

I pulled my hand away and gave him a small smile, before going back to cleaning. The rest of the day was everyone cleaning and Levi yelling about how "shitty everyone was" because they couldn't clean a room properly. Gotta love Levi and his short temper. I fell on my bed and sighed, what is going on with me? Whenever we look at each other or touch I get this jolt of electricity. Whatever it's probably some emotion I know nothing about, I thought taking off my shirt. The door flew open and Hange ran in with a large smile on her face.

That's the smile that makes me super nervous, what was she planning on doing to me? "How can I help you?" I asked sitting up on the bed. "Nothing just checking in and possibly hoping to get a blood sample. Unfortunately, I dropped the one I got from you when you were younger so I was hoping to get a new fresh vile." Oh, course she that's what she wants. "My dad said I can't give you any blood so you're out of luck Hange," I said laying back down the bed. I heard her huff before she ran over to me and grabbed my shoulder.

"What is this mark on your shoulder? I feel like I've seen this before I'm just not sure where I've seen it. Hmmm, very strange." I ran my hand over my birthmark and shrugged. "It's a birthmark, it's been there since I can remember, anyway I'm going to bed early and I don't want to wake up to you stealing my blood. You should go tell Eren about the titan's I'm sure he'll love that long story." Hange was instantly excited and thanked me before running out of my room.

I rubbed my shoulder where my birthmark was and sighed, dad said mom had the same exact birthmark on her opposite shoulder. I walked over to the old mirror and looked at the crescent-shaped birthmark, before getting ready for bed. I blew out the candle and got comfortable, before passing out.


"Good morning my baby girl." I slowly opened my eyes and noticed a pretty dark skinned woman looking down at me, I smiled as she ran her fingers through my hair. "It's time to leave, come on" I nodded and got out of bed as she led me through the small house and outside. There was an older man waiting outside under the tall trees, a few titans passed by without bothering us.

As soon as the man saw me he smiled and I smiled back running up to him, he kissed my head and picked me up as the pretty woman held his hand. "Ok, just like I taught you Sonny, the people beyond that they do not speak our tongue so that means you have to speak like them." I nodded and looked at the giant wall.

"Papa, why I go and you and mama stay?" The pretty woman smiled at me and kissed my hand before walking ahead. I noticed the small crescent birthmark on her shoulder and looked down at mine. "We have to stay because you are special. They are coming for us and it's only a matter of time before they find us and destroy us. We cannot afford to lose you, Sonny. When we get you over that Wall you will be the last tribe member and you have to carry on the name. That means you have to survive no matter what." I nodded at the pretty woman as we headed to the wall.


I jumped up out of bed, I looked over myself and around the room and calmed down when I realized I was still at HQ. What was that just now? It felt so real and they called me Sonny, that's my mom's name. A light knock on the door frightened me but I walked over and opened it to see my dad smiling down at me. "You're up, I thought I was going to have to wake you up. What's wrong why do you look like that?" I shook my head and smiled at him.

"Nothing I just had a weird dream is all, are you going somewhere?" I shook his head and walked in the room. "The titans that were captured were both slay early this morning, someone doesn't want us to know something. Get dressed we leave in 10 minutes." Dad said walking out of the room. I quickly got dressed and ran out of HQ and over to the captured Titans. Hange was screaming for Sawney and Bean while everyone else just stood around and watched.

Levi waved me over and I followed them back to the horses, Eren walked up to me and I looked him over before getting on my horse. "You look tired, not enough sleep?" He smirked and shook his head. "I was going to ask you the same thing..." Levi walked over to us and pushed Eren to his horse before walking back to his and riding off. I smiled at Eren and got on my horse and followed Levi.

"We leave tomorrow, you have to promise me you will not go off on your own no matter what, if you do I will leave you and you will die. You're going to be on my squad, do not make a move unless I tell you too." I nodded and we rode to yet another HQ, these things were everywhere and it was kind of annoying. When we got there it was sundown and I was so hungry, Levi told Eren to take care of the horses as I wandered. I stole some food from the kitchens without being spotted and left heading to the stables.

When I arrived I saw Eren and some of the other cadets from the Trost, I can't believe they joined after everything they went through. If it were me I would've been traumatized well, no I probably still would've joined. Armin looked my way and I smiled walking over to the small group. "Star, it's nice to see you when we're not trying to avoid death." I chuckled and pulled him into a hug, he stiffened up a bit but returned the hug.

"It's good to see you didn't die, all of you." Armin nodded and I moved beside Eren who was looking a little upset, he probably lost someone he cared about. I put my hand on his shoulder and he looked over at me before giving me a small smile. I couldn't explain it but I loved being beside him, the feeling was exhilarating it felt a million times better knowing he felt the same way. I moved away from him when I realized we were staring at each other a bit longer than usual and bid everyone a farewell before turning and walking away.

I felt someone staring at me so I looked back to noticed Mikasa looking murderous, she was looking right at me and I stopped to turn towards her. I gave her the "I am not the one," look before turning and walking to the room I was in. When I got in father was waiting in the room with a couple strategy plans, what was he planning?

"Ah, I was wondering when you were going to retire, I'm not sure if you spoke to Levi yet but you're going to be with him during this special expedition. I know I told you that you are not allowed to go on any of them but I this one is very important and I need you to be on your game. This expedition is going to be one of the most dangerous expeditions you're going to be participating in so please do not stray." I nodded and he patted my head and walked out of the room.

What is going on that no one is telling me again? Both dad and Levi treat me with kid gloves and it's really starting to get on my nerves, yes I'm just a kid but I've been through some crazy shit too. Not to mention I'm quite mature for my age, mentally and physically. I shook my head and started to undress, I heard the door open and I froze and looked over at Jean who was frozen as well when he realized I was partially dressed. I moved behind my small room divider. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to look or go here I was looking for... I don't I'm sorry." The door slammed shut and I peeked out making sure I was here by myself before quickly changing.

I opened the door slowly and noticed Jean with his head against the wall, he was talking to himself and his face was flushed red. "So what exactly were you looking for?" He jumped and looked me over before turning away from me. "I was looking for the barracks at first but I kind of wanted to be alone so I thought I would find an empty room somewhere just to hang out by myself. I didn't expect your room to be at the top of HQ." I sighed and shook my head at him.

"Do you want to talk about it? I do know how it feels to lose someone you really care about." He looked at me and I led him back into my room. He took a seat at the end of my bed and I sat down at the top. "So was it, anyone, I knew?" Jean sighed and waited a few minutes before nodded. "Marco, I don't even know how it happened, he just... I found him during the clean up in Trost. Someone did something to him, there's no way he would just be laying the way he was, someone knows something and they're not saying what." He said visibility tensing up.

"I'm sorry you lost Marco, he was very kind and my friend loved him. She would've gone to her grave denying it... Well, she kind of did. I like to think that he's making the most and enjoying a much better and happier life in the afterlife." I explained giving Jean a small smile. He returned the smile and nodded. "I'm sorry about Anika, she was a beautiful person inside and out." I moved beside him and pulled him into a hug.

He hugged me back and after a bit, we pulled and smiled at each other, everything was going to be alright. "Now, are you feeling better sir, if so I suggest you leave before my father or Levi finds you here. I can't guarantee your safety if you stay, so goodnight my friend." He laughed and walked to the door and opened it. He stopped and shook his head as he turned back to me and kissed my cheek before running out of the room. I really hope nothing happens to any of them tomorrow. Only time will tell.
