I wake up on the ground where I was left, no one had discovered me. I decide to head to my room where no one could see me. I cover my right eye where I had been badly hit avoiding everyone I could. I throw my jacket on my desk, taking my old pencil and notebook planting myself on my bed.
Reiner Braun- a man I thought was my friend violently hit my because Bertolt was punched by Levi; I have to prevent this from happening anymore, if I have to keep myself safe from myself turning into a Titan. Yes, I am a Titan shifter, and I hate the fact I have become such a monster. I only have thirteen years to live due to 'The Curse of Ymir'. My life is up and down, I'm getting married, but Bertolt is in love with me. I want to save humanity from Titans, but I am one. I currently feel my swollen black eye, and its pain for me…
"Emily?" He calls out my name. I race to the door to prevent Levi from opening it.
"Yeah?"
"Dinner's up."
"Shit," I mumble under my breath, "I-I'm actually not too hungry, I'm just going to skip dinner tonight." I try to sound casual, but I know he would be able to see right through me.
"Is something wrong?" Damnit…
"No…" I speak rather loudly. Captain Levi tries to open the door, but I push with little strength to keep it shut.
"Don't come in, I'm naked." I make up an excuse.
"Why are you naked?"
"I-I um-" I stutter before he swings to door open. I look away before he could notice.
"Emirī?"
"It's a nice door don't you think?" I awkwardly make conversation before grips lightly onto my chin pulling my face in his direction. His expression changed quickly from confusion to traumatised.
"Who did it?"
"Levi it's nothing-"
"Who did it Emirī?" I notice tears slip away from his eyes; this was the first time I saw him cry.
"Don't cry…" I slide my fingers across his dampened cheeks.
"Who did this to you?"
"Reiner…" I whisper his name, Levi instantly backed away slamming the door behind him. I follow him down the hall.
"Levi wait! Don't do this!" He ignores me, I stay in the shadows to see Levi angered.
"Braun!" The hall went silent, Reiner continued eating.
"Reiner what did you do?" Bertolt looked around to see me, I backed away in the darkness.
"Braun!"
"What do you want pipsqueak?" Reiner stood tall looking down at Levi.
"I want you and that pig out of the Scout Regiment." Reiner chuckles.
"Because you can do something like that, yeah right." Levi went to hit him, but I hold back his arm.
"Levi no! It's not worth it!" Everyone stares at my eye.
"Look what he did to you!"
"It was an accident!" I make up an excuse, Levi was still angered by the fact Reiner had hurt me, because deep down he knew it was no accident.
"I'm still gonna kill him!"
"Levi please!" I hold him tighter, Erwin and Mike help assist me.
"Captain Levi."
"Just look at her Erwin! Don't tell me that's no accident!" His rage had gotten to the point where I was scarce, I shut my eyes. The swelling around my eye goes down, taking away its colour, completely back to normal. Everyone in the dining hall gasped in shock, even Levi couldn't understand.
"Like I said, it was an accident, right Reiner?" His eyes widened before returning to his usual mean-looking facial expression.
"Right."
"No way! I'm not wearing some stupid wedding dress!" Krista and Sasha sigh in disappointment.
"You have to Emirī! It's tradition!" Sasha pleads.
"But, can't I just wear this?" I refer to my Uniform.
"No!" Both Krista and Sasha shout at the same time.
"We want this to be special, you deserve to look the most beautiful on your wedding day." I must admit, whenever Krista spoke, it was like speaking to an angel from heaven, I couldn't deny her spoken words, she was too light and kind to go against her.
"Alright, I'll wear a dress." I roll my eyes, Krista grins as Sasha jumps for joy before hearing her stomach grumble.
"I'm so hungry!"
"I should probably feed Furlan and Isy, they're probably hungry too." I turn to pick up Isabel. This time, I unbutton my white shirt I had recently gotten from Hange before taking the strap off my bra, pulling it down for Isabel to feed.
"We'll see you later Emirī." Krista speaks for the both of them. I sit myself at my desk, holding Isabel in a comfortable state. After she had finished, I sit her on my shoulder patting her back whilst writing in my notebook.
I get married in less than a week; I will become Emirī Ackerman. I can't say that I'm not nervous, because I fear for this family, the monster I have become. I hope Hange finds a cure soon, I don't want to be a Titan, even if it helps Humanity, I'd rather fight like a Human rather than fire with fire. So far, Bertolt, Reiner, Annie, Eren and I are Titan shifters, and all I know is from a story long ago, Ymir Fritz's Titan powers split into nine. I hope if they find a cure for Titan shifters, it would work on Mindless Titans too. Who is sending Titans over? How are Titans being reproduced? Something I wish I knew the answer to…
"What are you up to?" Levi's voice startled me.
"I'm just feeding and writing." I say as I put down Isabel to pick up Furlan.
"I think we should move into the one room." I turn to Levi with a smirk on my face.
"I think I'd like that." I plant a quick peck on his lips. I give Furlan a small rub on his back; of course he throws up.
"Every time he throws it back up, I'm starting to be a bit worried about him." I furrow my brows, Levi had grabbed his rag wiping away the thrown up milk on my shoulder.
"Maybe he needs solid foods." I sigh about to put him down, instead he cries.
"Awe hey, it's okay baby, Mama's here." I whisper rocking him gently. I turn to Levi, he reaches out to Furlan before attentively supporting him against his chest.
"He really does have your eyes." Levi had managed to quieten him down, now holding him out staring into his eyes.
"He's handsome like you Levi." I giggle, Levi sends me a smirk.
"Have you sorted out your dress yet?"
"I really didn't want to wear a dress, but you know what Sasha and Krista are like."
"Have you spoken to Hange?" My eyes widened, I had completely forgotten to speak to her since she had been incredibly busy with finding a cure.
"No I haven't, I will tomorrow." I promise myself. Levi carefully placed Furlan back into his cot.
"You should do it tonight, it's important she knows these things." Levi had a point, but I was too tired to do anything.
"I'm so drained right now, can't I do it tomorrow?" Levi shook his head, I sigh rolling my eyes.
"I'll come with you." He takes my hand leading me to her research facility.
"Hange…" Her head turns to mine, she has been wearing her long white coat when working on the cure.
"Emirī! I'm glad you've come! I've almost got the cure, but I still need to-"
"We're getting married." I interrupt, Hange stared in surprise; lips pouted.
"When is the wedding?"
"It's sometime this week, we're thinking Friday, but we're not sure yet." Lance Corporal answers for me.
"And Erwin is okay with this?"
"Yeah."
"Well then, let's get it started! What are you going to wear? Ooh! I can imagine the dress already! I can prepare everything for you!"
"Hange slow down there, I've got things settled."
"Huh? But-but I'm your sister, I'm supposed to do things too!"
"Look, Krista is working on the Dress, Sasha is helping me out with major things, Connie is in charge of the Scenery for the Ceremony-"
"What about the cooking?"
"Jean and Sasha are onto that."
"Why didn't you come to me first?"
"I knew you were busy, I didn't want to bother you-"
"I am your sister!" I sigh, knowing she was right. I turn to Levi, but he stares with his usual stoic expression.
"We have something we need you to do."
"Really?"
"I want you to walk me down the aisle." I hold her hand, she went berserk.
"Of course I will! Emirī Zoë, this is the best thing I've heard all day! I'm so happy!"
"I'm glad you are." I embrace Hange, she was the best sister anyone could have asked for.
