- Marlie POV -

"I'm going after Armin." I said, and before anyone could stop me, I whizzed off after him. I followed Armin, until I saw him land on the roof near Sasha and her group.

"Armin!" I said, as I landed beside him. He sat down and pushed his hands into his hair, a blank, petrified stare plastered on his face. "What happened, where's Eren?" I asked. No reply.

I decided to sit down next to him, and wait for him to be ready to speak.

"Armin, come on let's go!" Sasha said. She was trying to get us to get up and leave. But not many of us could, I was almost out of gas and so were the others.

"We need more gas, Sasha. I'm going to the store house. I'll be back with gas for everyone as soon as possible." I said, standing up to leave. It wasn't too far away, I knew I could make it.

"Wait, Marlie! Where's Chad?" Asked Sasha. I stopped in my tracks, suddenly terrified. Where was Chad?

"I - I don't know. I lost sight of him after I went after Eren. Then I lost Eren and I have no idea were everyone is. I know four of my group are dead. I don't know where Eren and Chad are." I said, tears beginning to fall down my cheeks.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of 3DM gear, and Luke appeared, carrying Chad. Man, was I relieved.

"Luke! Chad!" Sasha said, running over to them. Turns out that Chad had run out of gas, and Luke had found him and brought him to us.

I took this as an opportunity to go and get the gas. I ran over to the edge of the roof, and went over the rooftops towards the store house.

"Marlie!" I heard from behind me. I rushed off through the air, and without looking back, I used up the rest of my gas.

Suddenly, the 3DM gear stopped and I fell to the ground, landing right beside a Titan. Great, so luck was definitely on my side today.

I tried to run, but the Titan was already on top of me. It had me in it's grip in no time, and it stared at me, as a dog would stare at a hunk of meat in the window of the butchers shop.

I panicked for a while, desperately searching for a way to escape, but I found no way of exit. I was stuck, and I knew what was going to happen.

I knew my fate, and closed my eyes, ready to accept what had happened. I can't believe I had done something so stupid. Now Luke would be upset, and every other one of my friends too. It was my fault, and all I could do was hope that humanity would win this tragic war.

And then, all of a sudden, my world turned black...

I woke up, and everything was light. Was I in heaven? No, there's no pain in heaven, my hand is throbbing with intense pain.

I shook my head slightly, and looked around. Why was I towering over buildings? I could see clearly, but there were people below me that looked incredibly small. I was in a forest area, by the looks of things, and I saw a lake glittering in the sunlight.

I ran over to it, and peered down into the water. I yelled at the sight, and reeled backwards. Though my shout sounded more like a short roar.

Cautiously, I crept back over to the lake and peered in again. I looked like - like a Titan.

Feeling something move under my arm, I lifted it up, and I was immediately thrown into the air. I found myself flapping my arms and gliding through the air. I had no control of where I was going, but I steered my way into the town again.

From the sky, I spotted Armin, Mikasa and Conny on a rooftop, staring at two other 15 metre Titans.

After about ten minutes - not literally - of flailing around and trying to land, I figured out that ll I had to do was close my arms and the - wings? - would fold in and I would land. So I landed, and saw a figure stood next to me. I turned, and leaped backwards in shock. It was a Titan. But it was the same size as me. I glanced over at Armin again. They were gone, but one of the Titans was still there. It approached another Titan and - kicked it. I stared in shock.

Suddenly, a searing pain rushed through my arm. I spun around and came face to face with the other Titan. A strange rage came over me, and I couldn't stop myself. I charged at the Titan, and my hands went to its throat. I squeezed and it's head burst off of it's neck, spewing blood everywhere. It fell to the ground and began to evaporate.

I began to walk off, so I could try and figure out how I was going to be a human again. I'd taken no more than four steps, when I felt a pain in the back of my head. Growling, I turned around, and I came face to face with the strange Titan I had seen earlier on, near Armin, Mikasa and Conny.

It cocked it's head, and frowned slightly. That's weird, I didn't know Titans had expressions. While I was trying to figure it out, it threw a punch at my stomach, and I found myself keeling over.

I skidded backwards, and stopped in my tracks when I hit a house. I was so angry, I tried to scream. But it came out as a roar. I found I liked it, so I roared again and charged at the Titan in front of me. I ran and leaped into the air, kicking the Titan in the head on my way up. It fell down, and roared in annoyance. So I took the chance, and I leaped into the air one final time, and took off to find safety.

I soon found a small patch of trees, just beside one of the outskirt villages. I landed there and sat for a while, trying to figure out what had even happened. I decided to go over it.

'I was eaten by a Titan. Then I became a Titan' I thought to myself.

My head swam and I began to feel dizzy, and soon I found my world, once again, turning black.

My eyes fluttered open, and I saw I was in my old bedroom. But it was destroyed wasn't it? I looked up, and saw my mother walking slowly towards me, a needle in her hands.

I began to scream but no sound would come from my mouth. If there was one thing I was scared of as much as I was scared of Titans, it was needles.

Soon my mother was gripping my arm, and she shoved the needle in. I felt a wave of intense pain for a second, and then I began to feel calm and relaxed.

My father came into view, and he crouched down beside me. But, hadn't he disappeared when fighting in the Survey Corps? What was he doing here?

"Listen Marlie." He whispered in my ear. "I need you to promise me, that if you ever remember what happened today, please don't blame yourself. Promise you won't blame yourself?"

I felt myself nodding slowly, my eyes drooping and getting heavy. I felt a small pin prick in each of my arms, in the crook of my elbow where those big veins are seen. Then I felt myself growing taller, until my head crashed through the roof.

I saw my father below me, standing still and fearless. His arm was gone. I felt myself growling, and then roaring with rage. I swiped at my father, grabbing him in my giant fist. Why was I doing this? I couldn't control myself, as my father grew closer to my face.

I suddenly felt myself being thrown across the room. I crashed into the corner and looked up. I saw myself, as a Titan. My father in my tight grip. I tried to scream and stop myself, but it was like I was in an airtight class bubble.

My Titan jaws closed around my father, biting him in half. And that was the end of it.

Soon my Titan body began to disintegrate, and I saw my own tiny body emerge from the remains...

I sat bolt upright, panting hard. I looked all around me, and saw that I was still in the forest where I had gone before. I looked down at my body, and saw that it was human again. But how on earth did I become human again? Was it a dream or a memory? It felt extremely real, and the last time I saw my father was the day he came home with one arm. I was upstairs in bed, and he came to say goodnight to me. However, I recall that the 'goodnight' sounded like a 'goodbye'. Which it must have been, because I didn't see him again after that.

So, what was it? A dream or a memory? Did I really kill my own father? I guess I'd find out one day. There were a couple of relatives inside Wall Sina who practised medicine, so I might be able to find them and get them to examine me.

I decided to shake it off for now and think about it later, and try to find my way back to the town. Standing up, I cupped my hands to my eyes and looked forwards through the trees. I could see the town from here, and estimated that it would only take around twenty minutes to walk there.

So, I set off, as fast as I could through the forest until I came to the edge of the town. The store house was only a few feet away from me, so I hurried there as fast as I could.

Surprisingly, there were no Titans there, and the only ones that were, were almost finished evaporating.

I ran to the entrance, and found that there were people in there. They were gathered around the rope lift, some talking and some attending to their comrades injuries.

I looked around the room, and spotted Armin and a few others gathered around a large sheet of paper. My face lit up right away. I was so glad to see them!

"Hey, Armin! Mikasa!" I said, running over.

"Marlie!" Armin said, smiling. "What happened to you? Where's your gear?"

"I'd tell you, but you wouldn't believe me." I said, scratching the back of my head. "Anyway, what's going on here?" I asked, pointing to the paper Armin had before him.

"It's a plan." Said Marco. "On how we're going to drive the 3 and 4 meter class Titans out of the storage basement."
