Yo, this is the first actually chapter of my Attack on Titan original story. I really hope you like it. Drop me a review, good or bad; preferably good, if bad I should be okay after a few weeks. Enjoy the read and if you like it expect many many more chapters. Peace out Bros and broettes!
"Akhito, stop it!" screamed Chihiru trying her best to pull me away from the fight,
"I'll kill you, you little shit!" I shouted brutally and unsympathetically punching down, "My Uncle is not a pathetic deserter!" my misty eyes began to quiver in rage.
Even though I knew there was some truth to what the boy was saying, I felt as though it was my duty to defend my family's honour; I couldn't accept that my own Uncle was a deserter, my family was better than that.
"Just stop Akhito," Eiri effortlessly yanked me off
"Get off me!" I attempted to throw a punch at my childhood friend but he caught my fist mid-pinch and returned the favour, bloodying my nose and blackening my eye
He looked at me remorselessly, his bright blue eyes and short blonde hair somshow glaring, despite the lack of natural light. If I was honest I slightly feared Eiri and his capabilities; he was naturally skilled, he was somehow able to foretell an attack before it's even been thrown, it was a skill that his father, the great soldier Eric Toapa possessed. Apparently Eric served along side the king in the inner most section of the three legendary walls.
Chihiru however was the polar opposite to Eiri. She stood over me holding out her hand, her eyes riddled with pity. Her friendly hazel eyes made it impossible to distrust her. I grabbed onto Chihiru's smooth hands and used it to pull myself off the cold, unforgiving ground.
"How are we supposed to beat the Titans if we're concentrating on fighting one and other?" Eiri spoke, his blank face showed no emotion,
"I thought you were my friend," I whimpered, "What kind of friend does that to another friend?"
"I did what I must to defuse the situation and did my best to defend myself against you," Eiri still showed little emotion
"Come let's get you home," Chihiru wrapped her welcoming arms around my shaking body and led me home.
I lived in a small stone house with my Uncle, my Father however died when I was very young and my mother's whereabouts was a complete mystery, many assumed she was dead. My uncle worked as a blacksmith but these days nobody had any use for products and the supply of metal was dangerously scarce.
"You need to stop constantly getting into fights, boy," Uncle Gus spoke in a tone of disappointment,
"I was defending your honour, sir," this was my only incentive to fight and it was always my excuse,
"Listen, you need to stop caring about what others think of you."
"It wasn't about me, that piece of crap called you a " pathetic deserter" I can accept some one saying such a thing to me because I can defend myself, but I can't let people get away with dishonouring those I care for," I look of concern spread across my Uncle's wrinkled, aged face, "Isn't that what separates we humans from those "beasts" out there? Isn't our policy to protect those who are in desperate need of help or cannot defend themselves," I stood up and stared my uncle dead in his eyes.
"You can't go around attacking other kids, end of story," I immediately shut up and calmed down as I knew that I was fighting I losing battle.
Suddenly a loud crash echoed through Mirai, I and my Uncle simultaneously shot up. Something wasn't right. I quickly ran to the door and swung it open, my eyes panning around the city, our neighbours were frantically running around in panic and fear, but I could see nothing. I looked up to the roof of the cave, there was a huge gaping hole dotted directly in the centre of the city, sunlight shot through it, it was beautiful. Out of nowhere I giant face appeared in front of me, it looked like a gigantic human. A creepy grin was spread across it's face. I was frozen solid, why can't I move? It's huge hand slowly got closer and closer to me, a shadow consumed me, I felt it's warmth as it got increasingly closer. I closed my eyes, embracing death.
"Akhito, move!" suddenly I felt a great force push away out of the shadow. I slowly rotated my head to try and make sense of the situation.
The titan grabbed my Uncle who had taken my place. He began to squirm and try to pry himself free of it's clamp like grasp. We looked each other in the eye before the Titan put my ragdoll like uncle in it's damp mouth, slurping him up like spaghetti.
"No, you bastard!" I ran at the monster, arms flailing, as gained on it I was pulled away,
"What the hell are you doing?" Eriri grabbed my arm and carried me off,
"Get off me," I tried to kick free but it was no use, "I'm going to kill that Titan. Bastard, bastard, bastard!" My eyes had once again filled with tears, which stung my face due to the black eye I had received earlier. I soon realised that my resistance was futile, so discontinued my pointless struggling.
I watched on as the city I loved was torn to shreds. What was once a thriving city had been reduced to rubble and flames consumed what used to be my home. It was all over, Mirai was finished. Not a single building was left standing, many were brutally killed that day and those who had survived had to relive the traumatic events that they had seen for the rest of their lives.I didn't know what I was going to do next, but I knew what I wanted to do when I was older, I was going to join the fight against the titans; I was going to prevent anymore catastrophes like today.
