Who knew I'll die by saving a stranger who's trying to jump of a bridge. But hey! At least I saved her, right?
I gave her some advices and shit but fuck it's dark, I can't see a thing.
I never thought I'll die by drowning, but I always wanted to die in a peaceful way like dying in my sleep or I don't know by age?
It's dark. It's really dark, I wasn't scared of the dark but this darkness gives me the chills.
Am I going in heaven or hell? Pfft- probably hell, I've done some shits in life.
It suddenly feel... warm? Wait it feels warm.
Woah maybe I am in hell, ah shit.
"It's a baby girl ma'am! Congratulations!"
A voice? Wait I can see light and I can hear... someone crying?
I slowly tried to open my eyes and saw a woman with large light eyes, long dark hair tied loosely, hanging on her right shoulder with bangs on each side and only a few short hairs kept loose on her forehead.
Why does she look familiar?
"Dear, look at her. Isn't she pretty?" The woman said softly as she caressed my chubby cheeks.
Did I just got reborned? Reincarnated? Holy shit!
"She is Carla. Eren, look at your little sister" I heard a man softly said.
I widen my eyes "Wait Carla? Eren? As in, Carla and Eren Yeager?!"
I looked at the woman who was holding me and tried to get a better look.
Turns out it was really her! "It's Carla! Oh my God she's beautiful!"
I opened my mouth and tried to say something, but it only sounds like blabber "Oh yeah, I'm a baby"
Carla softly smiles and kissed my cheek and forehead.
She reached out to Grisha as she wants to hold Eren on her other arm. Grisha gently placed Eren, who's a one-year-old baby on her arm.
"Eren, meet your little sister, (Y/n)" Carla said to Eren. Baby Eren curiously looked at me with his emerald eyes and reached out.
"AHH BABY EREN'S SO CUTE!" I thought and grabbed her small hands with my tiny ones. "Ugh my hands are so small"
Carla warmly smiled at our interaction as Grisha smiled as well. Eren starts to giggle as he kept holding my hand.
"ASHWEKFJ OMG OMG OMG OKAY OKAY CHILL SELF CHILL So he's my older bro? HESHDWEF Cool!"
I didn't noticed I let out a small squeal and smiled.

8 years finally passed by, I'm finally a child and not a baby, being a baby is hella boring because I can't do anything but cry, babble, roll around like a fucking dog.
Stuff like that, Eren as an older brother wasn't that bad. He have mood swings though which I found really funny.
One day he'll be like "I can do this, doesn't look cool?!" to "Go away, I'm not in the mood"
But he's really protective to me, especially when it comes to boys except Armin. Speaking of Armin, HE'S REALLY CUTE AHH!
I remembered when I first met him I literally squished his cheeks, I couldn't help it okay he was too cute!
He showed us a book about the outside world, on how he told us how bad he wanted to leave the walls to see the outside world was truly admirable.
I thought that maybe I can draw and show him how it looks like based on how he explained it to avoid suspicion.
Anyway, I finally finished washing the dishes and wiped my hands with a clean towel.
I heard the door opened and saw Eren with a smile "Hey! (N/n) come on!" He said.
I looked at him with a raised brow and slightly tilted my head "Uh, come on to where?" I asked.
He threw a red scarf at me and said "Dad said we're going somewhere. He didn't told me though, he just said he have a patient to check" he said with a shrug.
"Oh and wear that, I have my own. It's raining outside so you might be cold." Eren said and patted my head.
I blinked and slowly nodded "All right" I said with a slight smile. Eren grabbed my hand and dragged me outside.
"Dad's already waiting, come on." He said as he dragged me. I stumbled a bit and glared at him "Sheesh, slow down a bit" I grumbled and wore the scarf.
As we reached outside we saw dad waiting for us with a carriage. We both went inside and sat down.
"Hey dad, where are we going?" I asked as I slightly tugged his shirt. "We're going to Ackerman's family for a check up" he said and patted my head.
"Ackerman... WAIT THAT'S TODAY?!" I thought and slightly widen my eyes. "T-Then we better hurry then! A check-up is important after all heheh" I awkwardly laughed as I stuttered at the first part.
"Yes yes, of course" he signaled the guy who will drive the carriage to start moving and obligated.

We soon reached the house as it was still raining "Are we too late? God, I should pay more attention now dammit" I slightly furrowed my brows and gripped on Eren's sleeve.
Eren looked at me and furrowed his brows a bit "Are you okay?" He asked softly and I nodded. "Just nervous" I replied with a small smile.
Eren nodded and hold my hand "Don't worry, I'm here with you" he said reassuringly. Dad starts to tell us more about the Ackerman we'll visit as we walk up the house.
Dad knocked at the door a few times. "Mikasa?" Eren asked with a neutral face, he's still holding my hand for comfort.
"That's right. She's a girl your age, also a year older than (Y/n)." Dad said and faced us.
"There aren't any other children around here, so try to get along with her. You too, (Y/n)." Dad told us.
Eren lowered his head a bit "That depends on her attitude." He said. "Eren, this is why you only have one friend." Dad said.
I glanced at Eren, his brows are a bit furrowed and slightly tighten his grip on my hand. I squeeze it back and he looks at me as I gave him a smile.
He smiled back and patted my head again. Dad hummed and glanced at the door. "Maybe they're not home" he said.
"AHHH SHIT WE'RE DEFINITELY LATE!" I thought as I started to get nervous. Dad knocked at the door again but louder.
"Mr. Ackerman, it's Dr. Yeager." He said and slightly opened the door. "Pardon the intrusion" he looked inside and gasped.
Eren looked at dad's back "What's wrong?" Eren asked. I swallowed the lump down my throat and asked "Uhm.. dad?"
He went inside and checked for their pulse. I smelt the scent of metal as I walked closer. I widen my eyes as I look at their corpses.
"I saw how they died in the anime but seeing it in real life is fucking scary..." I thought as I covered my mouth with my free hand.
Eren blankly stared at the corpses on the ground and tightened his grip on my hand. "Eren, (Y/n), is there a girl nearby? Did you see Mikasa?" Dad asked.
"No" Eren said, I couldn't answer as I lowered my gaze. Sure, I've seen a dead body at a funeral but not like this.
"I see... I'm going to go call the military police brigade and request an investigation. You two go wait at the base of the mountain." Dad told us as she looked at us with a serious gaze.
"Understand, Eren? (Y/n)?" Dad said. I just slightly nodded my head as I stare at the ground. "if I knew it was today, maybe I could've save them? Or at least, did something with it..."
.
.
.
"Eren, are you sure about this?" I nervously asked him as I looked at the knife in my hand. "Yeah...we have to do something (n/n)." He replied.
I stared at the knife I was holding "Right... The military police will be late. They're useless anyways so I have to... This is real now... So I gotta do something too"
I gripped the knife and looked up at Eren with determination in my eyes. "Got it. We'll save her!" I said.
Eren nodded and looked at the cabin we found when we we're looking around. "We have to pretend as if we were lost, then attack. Got it?" He asked and I nodded.
Eren and I silently walked closer to the cabin, Eren slowly opened the the door and I hid my one hand behind my back as the other was holding Eren's shirt.
"Excuse us..." Eren said as we peeked inside the room. "Hey, you brats!" One of the thug said.
"What are you doing here?!" He shouted as he slams the door open. My body tremble as I look at him with wide eyes.
"Uh...um... My sister and I... was lost in the forest... and we saw this cabin" Eren said, his voice is slightly trembling.
The thug glance behind him. I'm guessing his looking at the other guy who just dismissed it off.
He looked back at us again "You kids shouldn't be walking around in the forest alone." He said and bended down a bit and patted Eren's head.
"There are scary wolves roaming there. But you two won't have anything to worry about if you come with-" he stopped talking as Eren suddenly stabbed him in the middle of his collarbone.
I slightly flinched "Thanks, mister. I get it now, so die, you bastard!" Eren said and swiped his knife sideways, successfully killing the guy.
As the body fell down I ran at the other room and grabbed the broom and quickly tied my knife on the end.
I heard Eren closed the door and ran behind me. I took a deep breath as the other guy opened the door.
His eyes widen when he saw us charging at him. Eren let out a war cry and I gritted my teeth. We stabbed him on the stomach and he fell backwards.
Eren gave me his other knife as he removed the one on the broom "You goddamn animals! Die, die! This is what you deserve!" Eren yelled as he continued to stab the guy.
I ran towards Mikasa and gently sat her up. "It's all right now, don't worry." I tried to reassure her as my voice slightly trembled.
I cut the ropes around her hands and feet. "You're Mikasa, right? I'm (Y/n), and that's Eren, my older brother. We're Dr. Yeager's children"
Eren wiped the blood on his face and hummed "Yeah, I'm sure you've met him before. We tagged along with him to your house for medical examinations." He said.
I furrowed my brows as I finished cutting all the ropes. "Yeah... And then..." I trailed off as I tried to remember something
"I feel like I'm missing something...? What was it..." I thought. "There should have been a third man." Mikasa said.
I widen my eyes as she said that "FUCK RIGHT! HOW COULD I-" my thoughts got cut off as we heard foot steps.
We looked behind us and there's the other man. I tensed up and looked at the knife I dropped and ran towards it. He kicked my stomach and I flew back a bit and rolled at the ground.
I grunted and hold my stomach and curled up my body. "THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH" my body trembled and slightly let out a whimper.
"You bastard!" I heard Eren yelled and loud footsteps. I opened my eyes and saw the man dodge his attack and threw the knife away of his hands and threw him on the other side of he room.
"EREN!" I yelled and looked at this with wide eyes. The man started to walk towards me "Did you two do it?" He said and grabbed my collar and lifted me up.
"Did you two do it?! Did you?!" He yelled at me as he started to choke me. "I'll kill you with that shitty brat over there! You're dead meat!"
I squirmed and grabbed his hands around my throat as I tried to remove them. I opened my eye and saw Eren, he wasn't moving.
I stared at his body with wide eyes "Why isn't he moving? Is he unconscious? Did he threw him that hard?"
Tears starts to form from the side my eyes "I can't die here, not like this, not again! Fuck it!" I looked at Mikasa who has her eyes wide as he stared at us.
"F-fight... Fight!" I manage to let out some words. Mikasa flinched and looked at me. "If you lose, you die. If you win, you live..!" I slightly shouted as I slowly ran out of air.
"What are you thinking, you brat!?" The man said and tightened his grip around my throat. I started to gasp for air and looked at Mikasa once again.
"If you don't fight, you can't win! This is a cruel world, M-Mikasa! You gotta... Fight!" I closed my eyes as I tried to remove his hands.
"I'm loosing air! Please, Mikasa... That should have done something, right!? Eren's supposed to be here and not me. But he already live in this cruel place so fuck it!"
I felt my body slowly limb as I kept gasping for air. The last thing I heard was a loud shout from Mikasa before losing consciousness.

The night came as I slowly wake up. Eren was looking at me with worried eyes but widen when he saw me waking up.
"(N/n)! I'm sorry! I fell unconscious when the man threw me!" He said and hugged me tight. I blinked as tears filled my eyes.
"E-eren..! I thought you're...!" I hugged back and shoved my face on his shoulder. I silently cried and he rubbed my back.
"I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm sorry (n/n)" he softly said and I wiped my tears away. He helped me to stand up and Dad walked up to us and gave us a hug.
"I told you two to wait at the base of the mountain. Do you understand what you've done?!" Dad said.
"We killed some dangerous animals. They were beasts that just happened to look human!" Eren said with a scowl.
"Eren!" Dad shouted. "They would've been long gone if we'd waited for the goddamn stupid military police to arrive. It would've been too late." I said as I stared at the ground.
I slightly looked up and saw dad's eyes widen. I guess he didn't expect my answer since I've always been a good child.
"(Y/n)... That's no excuse! You two were just lucky, Eren! (Y/n)!" He yelled and grabbed our shoulders.
"I'm scolding you two for thoughtlessly risking your lives like that!" He yelled at us and I pursed my lips.
"But... We wanted to save her quickly" Eren said, his voice slightly trembled and looked at the ground. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it and he did the same.
Dad stood up and looked at Mikasa. "Mikasa. Do you remember me? We met a few times when you were younger" he said.
Mikasa took a few seconds before replying "Dr. Yeager, which way... should I go to return home?" She said and stared at the ground.
"It's cold" Mikasa said. "There's nowhere... for me to go home to." She said as she pulled her jacket close to her.
I bit my lower lip and glanced at Eren. "Huh? Where's his scarf? Did he... Did he left it inside the cabin?" I thought and looked down at the scarf around my neck.
I looked at it for a bit then back up at Mikasa. I let go of Eren's hand and walked towards Mikasa, I removed the scarf around my neck and went closer to her.
I gently placed the scarf around her neck and head, it was a bit messy but I tried to put it neatly. "Um... You can have this. Sorry if I placed it a bit messy..."
I let out a shakily sigh and looked up at her in the eyes, my cheeks felt warm so as my ears from embarrassment "It's warm, right?" I asked.
Mikasa blinked and looked down at the scarf. She gently holds it "It's warm" she said. "CUTE...STOP THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT TIME" I slightly blushed and looked away.
"Mikasa, why don't you live with us? You've been through a lot. You need plenty of rest." Dad said and walk towards us, Eren's trailing behind him.
Eren walked next to me and patted my head. Mikasa glanced at me and I slight flinched "huh? Uhm.." I quickly glanced at Eren for help but he looked away.
"T-TRAITOR! YOU LITLLE-" I shook my head and grabbed her sleeve "C-come on, let's head back already. To our home." I said as I look away.
Mikasa widen her eyes as tears fell down of her cheeks "Okay" her voice was a bit muffled because of the scarf.
I panicked "W-Wait! Don't cry! Uhm..!" I waved my hands around as I tried to make her stop crying. "Stop that, you'll scare her." Eren gently flicked my forehead and shakes his head.
"But..!" I hold my forehead and looked back at Mikasa. She has a small smile on her face, I can see her mouth now since the scarf is slightly placed down under her chin.
"Sorry" I muttered and looked away. Dad patted our heads and looked at us "Let's go home" he said.
"OKAY SO THAT JUST HAPPENED... WAIT DOES THAT MEAN MIKASA WILL BE LIKE PROTECTIVE TO ME NOW INSTEAD OF EREN? DID I FUCKED UP? SHITT"
