*Eren's POV
Something made me believe him. It could have been the way his eyes hardened or how his muscles tensed slightly. It could have just been something in his voice. Whatever it was, however, it was clear that I could care less, and I couldn't deny that I relaxed when Corporal told me he would look into the whereabouts of my sister and best friend.
The man was looking at me intently, seemingly lost in his own thoughts; to my surprise, his gaze not unwelcome. I kept my eyes from meeting his, fearing that he would look away. After what seemed like an eternity, there was a soft knock on the door, and without waiting for an answer, a woman walked in.
She wore glasses, and her brown hair was messily thrown into a ponytail. A smile was plastered on her face as she walked up, somewhat loudly, behind the man. "Levi, you're needed immediately. We've gotten some more patients." Her eyes gleamed, and her voice was like a child on Christmas morning. "And before you ask, it's an order from Erwin."
"Tch, alright shitty glasses- I'll be there in a second." Corporal's face darkened in annoyance, and I had the sudden urge to laugh. As much as I wanted to, I stayed quiet; while some of my choices weren't the best, and I was quick to jump into something without thinking, I wasn't stupid.
The woman- I still didn't know her name, and I'm not about to call someone 'Shitty Glasses'- practically hopped out of the room as Corp-no- as Levi continued our conversation. His name felt right to my ears, but after stealing another look at his face, I made a mental note to never slip up and use it. At least to his face.
He let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm assuming you remember the breach in wall Rose?" His eyes met mine expectantly. This time I didn't look away.
I bit my lip; my memories had been hazy to nonexistent when I'd woken up. Everything I had remembered was extremely vague. It wasn't until recently- the experience revealing itself to me as a nightmare- that I fully understood what had happened to me during the breach.
My comrades and I had just graduated. We'd been in training for the past three years, and were waiting to be assigned our posts. I was stationed with my friends on the outer wall; our task was defense. The Infected, or Titans, as most people called them, brought death and madness wherever they went. We worked to keep them out.
Thinking about the monsters sent a chill down my spine, and I could feel the pure and unfiltered hatred roll off of me in waves. I'd grown up caged inside the walls because of them, and while I'd always resented their existence, after seeing my mother eaten alive, I'd gained a new perspective. For years I'd grown and nurtured a need for revenge.
As the sole carrier of the disease, T1, Titans were humanity's worst nightmare. One bite and you were better off dead. Some soldiers came back alive; they'd been bitten on the arm or leg and had been able to receive the medicine before it was too late. It was common that, to better their chances, the infected would amputate their own arms, and when they couldn't, ask for the help of their comrades. It wasn't a secret; I'd personally seen the clouded expressions of returning soldiers.
Titans were seemingly mindless, their one purpose being the annihilation of humanity. They gorged themselves on humans, only to regurgitate to create room for more. It was sickening.
Levi brought me back to my senses. He was glaring at me, leaning forward in his seat with his hand in my face. "I- yes, Corporal." He rolled his eyes and stood, picking up the notes that the blonde nurse had apparently been taking. After ripping off the first few sheets, he handed the rest to me. Then he pulled a pen from his coat pocket offered that to me as well.
When I reached to take it from him, he spoke, "I want you to write everything down for me, and I mean everything. Every detail, every piece of information you can possible remember. You got that?" Nodding, I looked down at the paper. I heard the ruffling of fabric as he walked over to the door.
As I picked up the pen to start writing, he stopped. "Eren?" My head shot up faster than I thought was possible. Eren? That's my name. He said my name. Oh my God, he said my name! I zeroed in on his words, having been too excited to register what he'd said at the beginning. "-you to write down any time you could've been directly exposed-hey, kid, are you listening? Tch, nevermind. I don't have time to repeat myself."
Without another word, Levi left. I hadn't noticed until then, but instead of a lock, there was a keypad and scanner. I mentally filed the information away and refocused on the task the man had given me. From what I got from his last statement, besides what happened at Rose, he also wanted to know about other times I could've come into contact with the Titans.
Closing my eyes, I breathed in deeply and began digging up all of my most painful memories.
*/Information Currently Available for Public Disclosure/*
While originally named 'the Infected', humans eventually began calling the carriers of T1 'Titans'. After unearthing a book titled Greek Myths and finding disturbing similarities between humanity's fight and one of its stories, (as a joke) scientists began interchanging the name. 'Titans' eventually won out. When it was found out that humans could contract the disease, 'Infected' became the term for humans who have (or have had) T1.
A/N:
duHDUHDUH And the plot thickens : I think I made it pretty obvious, but there's a surprise in the next chapter…I can't wait to post it 3 (haha I have to write it first)—
Anyways, for this chapter, I know I cut off at a weird spot, but I do have a reason, I promise! :D The explanation is going to be a pretty close parallel to the actual story (with the exception of maybe a couple of things), and there might be some readers who would rather not reread it in detail ^^ SOOOO what I'm going to do instead is write it on my tumblr as a treat for you guys who want to read it anyway…and throw in some special things while I'm at it.
Besides having the thing in writing (I mean typing it up), I'm getting my hands on some real medical records (for the template) and hand writing the notes. I'm also planning on putting up a little side story about Mikasa and Armin's time without Eren. Oh, and I'm drawing Levi as a teaser for chapter 6 c:
As always thanks for reading, and if you like the story, you can like or fave or whatever…OH and I'm a comment whore, so I'll love you forever if you leave one haha –shot-
If you aren't already following me on tumblr you can find me under mastia, and I'm also tracking the tags #snk infected and #mastia c: If you really like the story, you can also track the tags. I post updates and things. O.o I just realized how much I wrote….Bye….
