Year 844, August 5rd

Just a quick author's note before the chapter, thank you to all of the readers that who are reading this fanfic. Please leave a like and a review This chapter starts off in Ayamu's dream so I hope it wasn't all that confusing. It also gives some hints about her past.

Ayamu rolled over to see the grimy cell she was in, the moss caked walls and the smell of blood hit her like a truck. Just as she did so, pain exploded all over her body like a thousand needles. It was almost to the point that she nearly missed the faint voices coming from the walkway.

"We'll take the younger one first." A murderous voice said. Ayamu instantly reached for her sister fearing the worst. Her attempt to save her sister from her fate was meet with the sight of the man's ugly hands pick up her sister's body, which was limp from exhaustion and pain.

"Michiyo!" Ayamu cried, "Give Michiyo back!" As soon as the words escaped from her mouth, the man slammed his foot against her, which made her fly across the room. When the wall broke her fall she felt her body go numb from the pain. All she could do was to cry for her sister, the last connection and hope she had left in this world.

"Michiyo!" Ayamu cried again, "Michi-"

Ayamu woke up with a start.

"Old nightmare," she muttered under her breath. "It's not like she's going to come back from the dead." Ayamu got up from her bunk that she shared with Levi. She didn't get so lucky with sleeping spots, Ayamu was hoping for Isabel because she was the one least likely to kill her in the middle of the night.

Ayamu climbed down the ladder on the bunk to the floor. The dorm was really clean because of Levi's obsession of cleaning. Actually, Ayamu thought, I would eat off the floor if I had too, but on the second note that wouldn't be a good idea because the food would taste like soap. Ayamu made her way over to the drawer that held her bag. When she took it out she remembered that today was the day that she was going out on the expedition. Ayamu took out her compact mirror and checked her reflection. She took out the beads in her hair and tied her hair with her (really long) bracelet. Then, she took out her uniform and went into a corner to get changed. This routine was starting to rub off her since her normal morning routine usually involved shooting people.

Just around that time Levi and Farlan started to wake up. Isabel was a really deep sleeper so either Levi or Farlan woke her up. Ayamu quickly walked out the door before either of them could wake up. Just saying, Levi s not the kind of person Ayamu wanted to meet early in the morning. One the way to the dining hall Ayumu had the luck to run into Hange.

"Guess what Ayamu!?" Hanji said (practically yelled) in her crazy maniac voice.

"What?" Ayamu muttered half rolling her eyes.

"Did you know that if you killed a titan at an 180 degrees angle the titan's body will land at a 135 degrees angle!?"

"No, and quite frankly I don't care." With that Ayamu walked off to the dining hall.

"Wait, but…" Hanji (or hange idk) tried to continue.

"No, Just no.'


When Ayamu walked into the dining hall only a few people were there beside her. She grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down at her table. She took out a small booklet and started reading her notes on titan-killing. She and the trio had received lessons on how to kill titans and etc. but today she was going on an expedition and she wanted to make sure that she survived the experience.

"Hey, Ayamu!" Ayamu looked over to see Isabel running over to her table and yes, she and the trio shared a table. Ayamu wasn't happy about that but all of the other tables had been claimed.

"You do know that the expedition is today," said Farlan. The past few days he was less (what's the word?) suspicious of her but he was still wary of her presence.

"Yes, I do. And I hope the SP will give me back my gun, I've been dying to see if they work on titans." Ayamu said exasperatingly while checking her fingernails. The darts probably didn't because the titan's body system was different from a human's. Ugh, Ayamu thought, Another thing I should have asked the seller. Though he probably didn't know.

As usual, Levi sat down without saying much. The tension that was between them was so thick that you could cut it with a butter knife. Ayamu was silently hoping that she and the trio would be put in different groups, but seeing how things had been going so far the chances of something going her way was minuscule.


"Today we set forth on the First expedition!" Erwin shouted at the gate. Slowly the gate of wall Maria rose to reveal a doorway in the wall. At Erwin's signal, the Survey Corps rushed off into the outside world. Ayamu looked around her,

"Wow," she said. Her exclamation was responded with many other gasps of awe from the other people that had never been outside to walls. e endless blue sky seemed, even more, vast if that was possible.

"This is not the time to be dreaming everyone!" Somebody yelled to the Group. Ayamu did he said and started to go out in the formation that hey had practiced, And yes, she was with the trio.

"Nice weather today" farlan commented. Just as he said so, A titan appeared on the horizon.

"Um," Isabel sadi/squeaked "what's that?"

"Abnormal" Levi muttered. He fired a black flare and charged off to take down the titan. Ayamu, Isabel, and Farlan followed after Levi. Levi rose up on his saddle and shot an anchor into the titan's shoulder. Ayamu was still with fear for a moment by the sheer size of the titan. She knew how much 15 meters was and what a titan looked like but reality seemed more, imitating. Shaking off her fear Ayamu followed Levi and rolled underneath the titan to chop off its feet/legs. Isabel and Farlan helped by acting as a decoy and allowing Levi to kill the titan.

"Levi!" Shouted Erwin from the middle of nowhere. "Don't Waste so much gas or you'll use up all your gas before the expedition is over.!"

"Do you really expect me to prize the quality of my equipment over the lives of my comrades?" Levi yelled back. Ayumu was really surprised because that was the longest sentence that she had heard him say. (not including 'tch' or 'brat'). With that Levi rode off followed by Isabel, Farlan, ad Ayamu.

-Line-

It wasn't too long before a heavy fog started to collect around them. As far as Ayamu could tell, it was nearly impossible to ride without falling into a ditch and let alone spot titans at a distance that the titans couldn't smell/see her.

"I'm going to scout up ahead" Levi announced. " I'll be back in a minute." Ayamu was really starting to think that Levi was replaced by an alien. Levi rode ahead into the cloudy fog past until they couldn't see him anymore.

"Hey, Isabel," Ayamu said. "You've been unusually quiet."

"Ayamu, I just have a bad-" Isabel was interrupted when a titan plucked her off her horse. AYamu looked up to see the smiling face of a titan. Ayamu and farlan only watched in horror when Isabel was raised into the titan's mouth. Last minute, Ayamu broke out of her trance and shot and anchor into the titan's shoulder. While the titan was distracted by the anchor Ayamu brought her swords down on the titan's nape. Free of the titan's grip, Isabel began free-falling. Before Farlan could catch Isabel, Her fall was broken by another titan's mouth. Isabel's blood flew everywhere, coating the ground with red. In the corner of their eyes, Ayamu and Farlan saw Isabel's head fall to the ground. Before Ayamu or Farlan could comprehend what had just happened, the titan that ate Isabel turned his head to face Ayamu. Suddenly, another titan appeared from nowhere and brought it's hand down on the cords that held her to the dead titan. The anchors were forcefully pulled from the titan's back and the third titan sent her flying towards a tree. The last thing she remembered before she blacked out was a field of blood-red.
