Mizuki's POV

I was standing in the streets of Shiganshina, people all around me were gawking at one clear image. Even though we were one thousand feet below the wall we could all see the same gruesome figure.

The giant in the sky.

Smoke rose from it's skinless body like a bonfire. The eyes were pools of black with a single white dot to mark the center. It was tall enough to match the height of wall Maria. And it looked like it was out to get us.

These walls were cages.

Humanity were cattle.

I jolted awake to the sight of the driver tapping my shoulder to wake me up. I apologized for falling asleep and got my bag. Oh god I was having those dreams again...I thought I stopped having those a while ago? This better not be a permanent thing.

When I stepped outside the carriage I took in the scenery, it was absolutely gorgeous. Not to the next person you find but to me it was beautiful because it was my home.

I wonder if I remember the way home?

No. The answer is no.

The dusty tan streets were soft under foot, making it weird walking across something other then wood or stone. A few people passed by and gave me worried looks, like they were concerned for a girl to be walking alone like this.

I almost laughed at the idiocy of it.

The walk was long and tiresome and I still had no idea where I was. But my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of bells. Bells? What did they mean... Oh shit! I took off running in the direction like a bullet. I just remembered what the Bells meant. The scout regiment.

There was a large crowd gathered down the road where I saw the green-cloaked soldiers arriving. But what I saw shocked me. Men were covered in bandages, arms cast in slings, one man even had to ride on the cart they brought because he was so damaged.

While an old woman was talking about her son who I imagine to be dead I was scanning the ranks for a sign of Levi, Isabel or Farlan. I didn't see them. Oh god were they all killed? No that's impossible, Levi is the strongest person I know and he promised to try and keep them alive.

I caught the eye of Commander Erwin and he only nodded affirmatively. Oh god they were safe...of course they were damn it! They just got into the survey corps you think they would let them go on an expedition?

Just as the scouts were trotting away I saw someone that made me gasp. Standing on top of a few boxes was the person I had been looking for.

It was Eren.

My heart plummeted to my stomach as Eren took a stick from the pack he was wearing and shoved it at a man who I guessed were talking bad about the scouts. Before he could get hurt in retaliation a girl with black hair and a red scarf pulled him aside. Was that...Mikasa?

I jogged over to where I saw them to see they dissapeared. Damn it no! I can't lose them! Eventually I heard a bit of noise from the alleyway. Inside was Mikasa talking to Eren sprawled across a mound of branches and wood.

"Eren! Mikasa!" I shouted at the two.

They both turned to face me with faces of utter disbelief.

"M-Mizuki? Is that really you?" Eren stood up from the pile and stared at me with his colorful eyes.

"Yeah it's me! Oh god Eren!" I leaped up and brought him into a hug. I couldn't help myself, it had been so long...

"You're alive? We all thought you were dead! We had a funeral!" Huh, well looks like I'm dead in the eyes of the law. Go figure.

"It doesn't matter Eren, I've missed you so much" I tightened my grip on him.

"Mi..zu...ki...can't..breathe!" Eren choked out, I quickly let go.

"Sorry, I guess I forgot about my own strength" Remembering the time I woke up to find muscles adorning my body.

"I'll answer all your questions when we get home alright?"

I was barely able to fend off his questions on the walk to the house. He basically ignored my deal about me tell him about the underground at home so I just had to muffle his sounds for my comfort.

When we arrived at the house I nearly cried out in joy. The room I shared with Eren was inside and it housed some of my favorite memories...

The moment we got to the door my idiotic little brother flung it open and ran inside, one or two pieces of firewood fell out of the pack.

"Mom! Dad! Look who found us!" Eren pointed to the door-frame where I stiffly stood unsure of what to do.

"Mizuki...It can't be" Mom trailed off with wide eyes.

"H-hi guys" Come ON I don't see my parents in over a year and this is my reaction?

Dad just stood there as if he saw a ghost but Mom immediately flung into my arms and started crying. I never really understood crying. Sure I got sadness and why you react when you're sad but crying doesn't really do anything but make yourself weak.

I think my morbid unemotional side is showing...

We were all sitting at the dining table but everyone, even Mikasa, was eager to hear how I survived so long. Time for the biggest truth bend of all time...

"Well I'll start from the beginning...Once I was kidnapped I ended up in the underground streets. They were selling me at an auction for my looks and I was seriously terrified. But then one girl came and started betting against some old noble. When the girl won she told me she saved me from that kind of torture" I began the story.

"Wait what was this girl's name?" Hey dad! Ever heard of hold all questions till the end?

"Her name was Isabel" OK looks like I need to tell them more of the truth.

"When she saved me she introduced me to her two gang friends. Their names were Farlan and...well I don't want to talk about the third ok?" I can't let them know about Levi. If they do then they might find out I had worked with the gang who killed Commander Erwin.

"They tought me how to fight and survive, I loved my life there but I still missed all of you" And here it comes...

"Where are they now?" Fuck you Eren, Ok think think THINK!

"They're on the surface in one of the regiments, they were recruited by one of them but they didn't tell me which" Shoo, I applaud myself to the highest degree.

We were silent for a bit before Mikasa spoke up from the chair next to me.

"Speaking of the regiments, Eren's thinking about joining the scouts" Mom, who was currently washing a plate, gasped in shock. And I who was currently taking a sip of cool water gagged on it. What? Oh fuck this isn't good, he can't know about me and the survey corps!

"Way to keep a secret, mouth!" Eren commented.

"Get that ridiculous thought out of your head this instant young man! No son of mine is going to be fodder do I make myself absolutely clear?" Well It's gonna happen eventually.

I interrupted Eren's fight why my own voice, "Good of a time as any I guess, I'm going to join too"

Mom spurred around to look at my unflinching gaze "Not you too! You finally came back from hell and you're not going back into it again!"

"Well too bad, I've already made up my mind. I need to go" I shrugged.

"It's a nightmare you two. The outside, you have no idea" Ok I take serious offence to that dad.

"You have no right to say that to me. Maybe Eren but you have no idea what shit I've gone through!" I fingered the knife I kept with me from underground, safely hidden in my jeans.

"Mizuki is right dad, there isn't anything inside the walls above or below, future lies outside the walls! If we can't accept that fact then this nightmare is never gonna end!" Eren yelled.

Dad stood up from his chair and walked over to the door. "Excuse me, I'll be late for the fare"

"Darling wait! Scold them for heaven's sake!" Mom followed him to the door.

"Scold them? Dear please. Mere words will not hold their curiosity"

"Eren. Behave while I'm gone and I'll let you in on what I've been doing in the cellar" He held up a key that caught the sun's reflection.

Eren perked up immediately, "Yes sir you got it!" The basement? What is he talking about?

"Have a good trip!" Eren waved after Dad who was traveling to the client in the inner walls

After a moment of silence my mother's low command was heard "I meant what I said. The whole idea is just irresponsible"

"Huh? Irresponsible? So it's more mature to settle for living in fear behind some stupid wall your whole pointless life!?" Eren tore off in anger after that but I stayed behind to deal with Mom.

She turned over to me and Mikasa, she put her hands on our shoulders, "Mizuki, I honestly hate the idea of you joining the scouts but if you are then please join it with Eren so he doesn't kill himself. Mikasa please protect him from himself. Promise me that whatever happens you'll both try to keep each other safe?" I nodded.

I intend to keep that promise.

Eren, Mikasa, and I were walking around, looking for Armin. Wow I can't wait to see his reaction! However once we turned the corner we saw Armin being held against a wall by three older boys. Hehe This is gonna be fun.

I ran forward down the alleyway to Armin when the first boy put his arm up to strike. Wow I know I was trained by Levi and all but this was seriously pathetic fighting.

"Yo back off!" I stalked to the three boys with fire in my violet eyes.

"Well lookie here! A sympathizer! You wanna get the hell beaten out of you too girlie?" The fuck did he just call me?

I prowled closer to the first buy with my fist curled in anticipation, "Yeah? Well I may go easy on you!" He brought his hand down to my face and I caught it easily.

He let out a strangled noise of pain that I loved so much, "I'll go easy on you as well, just to be fair" I twisted the fist I held securely in my hand while he let out a scream. I gave an uppercut with my spare hand before kicking him to the ground with my left foot.

The two others were fucking terrified but one attempted punching my chest. I dodged the blow before landing a kick with my right leg. He crumple to the ground as well but was able to get up and run away. The 2nd got the leader's arm and dragged him off.

Morbid fun is still fun
