Bad Memories

"Isaac! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW STUPID YOUR DUMB MOVE WAS?!"

"Yes, sir. Yes I do."

"You did good but... DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE TO TAKE THE TITANS ON! YOU'RE STILL A ROOKIE! But... I'm ranking you up."

"Th-Thank you, sir." I remembered back to my father. Yes, he was just my foster father, but I loved him just the same. He raised me and took me to the edge of the wall to hear the Titans scratching at the wall. My foster mother was very abusive. She threw me at walls and hit me over the head with bottles. She was so evil that when my father took the family to the top of the wall to see the Titans, I had thoughts of pushing her off the edge. Then it happened. The significant thing. The thing that gives me my edge. I didn't know this until I was sucker punched by some bullies and fell off the wall. I flailed in fear and screamed my lungs out.

"ISAAC!" My father broke down into tears and fell to his knees. I felt a slight tightness in my clothing and as I was screaming I looked down.

"What the hell?" My skin began to turn the color that the Titans were. I grew and grew and grew until I stood a lot taller than the wall.

"TITAN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"No! That's my son!"

"Your son is normal! Now , get off this wall!"

"DAD!" I spoke roughly in my Titan voice though my father could understand it.

"Isaac!" I held my hand out and my father walked onto it and up on my shoulder to the back of my neck. "Remarkable! You seem to be a Titan Shift-" my father was cut off.

"Dad?" I turned around and saw another huge Titan swallow what was left of my dad. "Dad! NO!" I swiftly but strongly punched the other Titan directly in the skinless face. I screamed in pain as a Titan bit my shin. I flailed like a wild beast and ended up kicking away a few Titans. The huge Titan grabbed the wall and peered over.

"TITAN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

"OW!" The other huge Titan kicked the wall. "NO!" I ran off to a pond. The water was still. I looked into the reflective water and saw regular old Isaac Jones. I felt myself grow smaller and I could see my reflective face turn to Titan. I had black, char-colored muscle tissue covering everywhere but one huge to human small to Titan slit where my eyes were. My eyes, instead of staying blue, they turned a really chocolaty brown. I stood up to look at my torso, legs and arms. All black. From this day forward, as Titan, I will be known as the Ninja Titan.

"Isaac?"

"Huh?"

"You alright, man?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm all cool." I scratched my chin and sat down. I broke into tears and a low deep voice began talking to me inside my head. I smacked myself in the temple and wiped tears from my eyes.

"C'mon. Let's get something to eat."

"O-Ok, Eren. EREN?! YOU AREN'T DEAD?!"

"Yeah. Funny thing though, my leg, as you saw, was bitten off-"

"OFF?!"

"Off, and I went to save Armin, which I did. I switched places with him and put myself into the Titans mouth. The Titan swallowed me and bit my arm off. Everything was a blur from then on though. Don't even know how all my wounds got healed."

"OFF?! YOUR ARM CAME OFF?!"

"Yeah." My jaw hung open and I stood up. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

"Promise to keep it a secret?"

"Yeah."

"Ok. I was there on that awful day. When your mother was killed. I was outside the wall."

"Were-Were you that Titan?"

"One of the big ones. I was the all black one." Eren punched me directly in the face.

"You're a Titan Shifter too?!"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me?! I could help!"

"Wait. What Titan are you?"

"Rogue. You?"

"Ninja." Eren and I sat in silence for a good three minutes. I saw Armin walking by and I pointed him out to Eren.

"HEY, ARMIN! HEY, BUDDY!"
