Chapter 1
The sun beats down on us as we, the 104th trainees, stand in rows as the instructor goes through the rite of passage.
"Hey, you" The instructor yells at a small blonde boy.
The boy salutes "Sir"
"Who the Hell are you?"
"Armin Arlelt, from Shiganshina District." the boy answers.
I remember him from around town. Strong in his beliefs. He is also smart and friends with Eren and Mikasa. I watch as the instructor walks around. He gives me a small glance then continues. It's obvious that he is skipping over the ones who have already seen hell.
These people have no idea what they are heading into. Most are trying to get cushioned lives with in the wall. But barely any of them will make it. The damn idiots "tch". Well at least I won't have to babysit them, when the fight really begins. None of them will chose the Survey Corps.
Later that night Eren is talking about that day the wall broke. Everyone is surrounding him wanting to know about it. I sit alone eating watching the scene, getting a feel for my fellow trainees. When I hear Eren say he wants to join the Scouting Corps my hand tightens around my spoon. I guess I will never get rid of those three. Grotesque images enter my mind. Yes, I will join and fight titans like I am meant to. I leave as a confrontation ensues.
No I must get there why won't my legs move any faster. I turn the corner and see my house has been destroyed. I pause for a moment grabbing my father's necklace around my neck. All the world seems to fade away. Not even the sounds of the screaming people reach my ear. In the next moment it all comes back. They can still be alright. I can still save them.
"Mom, Dad" I yell taking off towards the house again.
"Lex, you must run." I hear mother yell once I reach the house. They are trapped inside.
"No I can help." I raise my hand to my mouth, but freeze at the sight of the titan in front of me. The sick smile on it's face as it slowly makes it's way to me, sends shivers down my spin.
"Lex, " my dad whispers. "Please go. Know that we love you."
"I love you too." Tears fall down my face as strong arms pick me up. I look to see a man from the garrison is carrying me away. "No, I can save them. Let me go." I struggle, but the way he is holding me I can't free my hands.
I watch as the titan digs through the rubble and picks up my parents. My mom struggles as the titan sticks her in its mouth the bites her in half. Her blood drips down its chin as it shallows the rest of her. I hear my dad cies as he calls mom's name. Then he yells out to me.
"Lex, you better live. Live a full life." A blood curling scream leaves my lips as it shallows my dad whole.
I bolt upright in my bed. As my eyes adjust to the dark I slow down my breathing. My body is covered in sweat, making my shirt and hair stick to me. Quietly I walk out of the barracks and head outside. It's peaceful and the moon is full. Once I reach the forest I do the one thing that makes me forget a nightmare. I dance.
author note: Sorry I started off with a short chapter but i felt like this captured her mindset.
