Rose Height - She's 10cm shorter than Levi
Rose P.O.V.
"Rose, Eren, Carla, Mikasa, Please be all right!" I see a flash of dad riding a carriage.
"Eren! Eren! Eren! Eren! Dad! Stop, Dad! What are you trying to do?! Just give me your arm!" I then see another flash of dad pulling at Eren's arm with a hand, his other holding a needle.
After injecting Eren he then turns to me. I feel my body moving backwards. "N-No, stay back! Mom's death has made you go crazy!" I Hear myself shout, frighted.
"ROSE!" My father shouts grabbing my arm.
"Let go, Dad!" I scream. Thrashing my arms in every direction.
"It's for your own sake!" He tries to reason. Bringing the same needle closer to my arm.
"What are you talking about?!" I ask desperately.
"Listen! Don't forget the key! You must reach it! Until you learn the truth someday!" The last thing I remember is hearing my scream and my father's face.
"Rose. Eren." I feel my body coming back to consines. I suddenly spring up. I look up to see Mikasa standing above me, with Eren to my left.
"Are you okay? You guys were having a nightmare." She asks her face looking concerned.
"I feel like I just saw Dad" Eren saying bring his hand up to his face.
"Yeah me to" I nod my head.
" were dreaming." Mikasa says standing up. "Let's said they're going to hand out food."
"Is there gonna be enough?" I ask, my voice unsure.
Mikasa nodes "Apparently this was their food 've gathered all the boat refugees here."
"Hey isn't that dads key?" Eren suddenly asks, pointing to my neck.
I turn my head down to look at my neck. Indeed just as Eren had said there was the same familiar key around my neck. "How'd it get here?" I ask out loud. Mikasa shakes her head, well Eren just shrugs his shoulders. "You wanna wear it?" I asked Eren.
"No. I'd just lose it. You should hold onto it for now, and plus, you've always been better at holding onto things then me." he answers.
I turn my head and see people fighting.
"- Hey! Get in line, will ya?!"
"Shut up! I ain't eaten anything since last night!"
"We can't say we've survived just yet."
"Rose! Eren! Mikasa!" I look and see Armin running toward us with loaves of bread.
"Armin Here!" Eren calls back
Armin stops right in front of us "Just in time! My grandpa got us some bread by saying it was for children!"
I hear my stomach rumble. My face turns the colour of a cherry tomato "Thank you."
"Do you actually believe we have to share our food with these animals" We hear a military police officer.
"Tell me about it. It's desgusting" Another says back.
"What's his problem?" Eren asked angrily.
"You can't blame him." I say softly "There's probably not enough food to go around."
Armin nodes "And that's an entire day's are just too many refugees.
There was already a food shortage going on, plus the people here aren't treated as well as citizens on the outer wall." He addes in.
"This is mine!" some else yells
"Shut up! Why should we hafta give our food to some lousy outsiders? If the Titans got through the wall, they could've at least eaten some more people, if you ask me!" a soldier near us shouts.
"Eren!" I shout, as I see my older brother run toward the soldier.
"This is just gonna make the food shortage even ! What the hell?! You damn kid!" the solder is cut off by Eren kicking his caff.
"You don't know what it's like! You've never even seen it! You've never seen what the Titans do to people!" Eren shouts
"Dam it. You picked the wrong man you punk." The soldier says as her punches him in the face, another kicks him in the stomach.
"Shut up!" Eren shouts from the ground.
Me and Armin quickly run to my twin. "I apologize! He's just hungry and irritable! That's why he so rudely lashed out at an adult I'm very sorry! Armin quickly reasons.
"Man It's 'cause of us that you guys aren't starving to death, you know! Even you kids oughta be thankful to us!" The solder says, with his nose in the air.
"Of course!" I say, egure to end the matter. As we begin moving Eren to a corner.
"Damn I refuse to let them take care of me.I'm going Wall Maria! I'm going to destroy every last Titan!" My brother says as he sits down.
"Eren You're not being serious, are you?" I ask "I mean I want to kill them just as much as you do. But right now we're to young and weak.
"I'm serious! I'm not like those guys who do nothing but act tough inside the walls! I don't need this crap!" Eren says throwing the bread.
"Eren! You'll starve to death! Doesn't it bother you at all?!" Armin tries to talk to him.
"It's because we take everyone's charity that we can't beat the Titans! It's impossible! There is no beating them! All we can do is live inside the walls! If we try anything, we'll die! Just like my mom and dad! So you're just gonna grovel to them then?! That's not shameful to you?! There's There's nothing we can do for now! That's just an excuse! If you wanna live like livestock forever, go ahead! You wimp!" Eren yells at Armin. He was about to say more but them Mikasa suddenly punches him.
"Mikasa" I whisper. 'This serious. Mikasa never hits me or Eren'.
"If Armin's a wimp, then so are it was running from the Titans or fleeing the town, we didn't manage anything on our even had help finding food today. There's no way such powerless people can defeat even a single one of those alive is what matters like your mother said." She says in a fast pace.
"Mikasa!-" Eren tries to speak but is cut of by me this time.
"You have to eat and stay alive.I won't let you starve to death." I Yell
Third P.O.V.
Several days later, the throngs of refugees were tasked with cultivating the wastelands to secure , a food shortage was , in the following year of 846, the central government sent a multitude of refugees on a mission in the name of retaking Wall the 250,000 sent nearly 20% of the population not even 200 it wasn't much, their sacrifices did improve the food shortage situation for the rest of the population.
"It's all the Titans' fault." Eren says as he stands next to Rose as Aemin cries, with his back against a wall.
"If we could just subdue them, our place in the world could be ours again.I'm going to apply for the Cadets next year.I'm going to gain the strength to fight the Titans!" Eren announces.
"So am I." Rose joins.
"Me too" Armin says standing up.
"Armin?!" Eren asks shocked.
"Me too! I will, too." Mikasa speaks up.
"You don't need to! You said yourself staying alive is what's important!" Eren says trying to change his family's mind.
"Yes. We don't have to, we want to. Remember I told you that day that I was also gonna join the scouts." Rose turns to her brother.
"I'm doing it; so you and Rose won't die." Mikasa says in a low voice.
"All four of us, then." Rose concludes.
1 Year Later
"The 104th Cadet Corps Class entrance ceremony will now begin! You have the misfortune of having me, Keith Sadies, as your commandant! I do not welcome you warmly! In your current state, you'd be nothing but food for the Titans! You're mere livestock! You're less than livestock! Over the next three years, we're going to train you worthless nothings and teach you how to fight Titans! Three years from now, when you come face-to-face with the Titans, will you still be fodder for them?! Will you serve as an honorable barrier that protects the king?! Or will you be a glorious soldier for humanity that drives the Titans out! It's up to you to decide!" A tall bald man with a shiny head says.
"Yes.I'll be one.I'll drive out every last Titan!" Eren vows
Well Rose on the other hand can't help but remember the man who saved her all those years ago.
Your dreams are where your heart is They're more fragile than life itself Over and over you cast them aside, only to find more Now, rest in peace Pounding impulses defile the things we wish for and the more we forget the more we remember again In this beautiful, cruel world all I can do is ask why we're still alive Oh, with our strength- and our weakness what are we going to protect if there's no sense to anything anymore? He fails as a soldier.
Eren and Rose joins the Cadets, vowing revenge against the Titans and to meet a certain man again, but there failure at basic training comes as a harsh reality.
