''What's his name again?''i ask mikasa as we walk towards a tree

''Eren , don't worry if he's mean then i'll kick his ass''she says and i smile as she walks towards a boy laying down under the tree

''Huh? Mikasa...''he says as he sits up

''We should be getting back''mikasa says and she stands up and eren looks at me

''Who's this?'he asks mikasa

''This is hera smith , her parents are friends with your mom and they came to see her and your mom told me to find you''mikasa says

''Wait smith , as in erwin smith? The commander?''eren asks

''Yea , that's my brother''i tell him and his eyes widen

''Is he also at the house?''eren asks

''No , i haven't seen him in awhile''i tell him and he nods

''You were that deep asleep that you're still only half-awake?''mikasa asks

''No...i think i was having a really long dream''eren says

''What was I dreaming about? I can't remember''he adds

''Eren , why are you crying''mikasa asks

''Huh?''he says touching his eyes and ignoring it , he gets up and grabs the wood he and mikasa had and we start walking back home

''Don't tell anyone i was crying''he tells both of us

''I won't''mikasa says and i nod

''But why were you crying''mikasa asks him

''I don't know''

''Maybe you should talk to your dad about it?''mikasa suggests

''Are you kidding me? I can't tell my dad about that''eren tells her

''What were you crying about eren?''we hear a voice say and we all look up and see hannes

''Hannes?''i ask

''Hera? What are you doing here?''hannes asks

''My parents are with his parents at his house , just catching up''i tell him

''Ah well , is mikasa mad at you eren?''he asks eren

''What? Why would I be crying? Oh god you reek of alcohol''eren says as he fakes vomits

''You're drinking again?''i ask hannes

''Wanna join us?''he asks us

''Aren't you on duty?''eren asks

''Yeah , we're watching the gates today , we've been here all day , we started getting hungry and thirsty , buts its not a big of a deal if we happen to drink something with a little bit of alcohol in it''hannes says

''But if you're drunk , how are you gonna fight?''i ask

''Huh? When would we have to fight?''hannes asks confused

''Do you really have to ask? When they break in the wall and come in''eren yells

''Ouch , eren don't say things like that out loud''hannes says

''If it isn't Dr.jaegers son , you've got a spirit kid , if they do end up breaking the wall , we;; do our jobs , but you know what? Not once in the past 100 years have they broken the wall''one of hannes friend says

''Still , my dad said that in times like these when we're in the most danger''eren says

''Dr.jaeger said that?''hannes asks

''Well he's right''i tell them

''The famous Hera smith , how's your brother?''one of them ask me

''I don't know , i haven't see him in 2 months''i tell them

"you still have anger problems little one?"he asks

"who? eren yeah"mikasa says

"eren was anger issues?"hannes asks and eren nods awkwardly

"I was talking to hera if she still has anger problems , once erwin thought it was a good idea to bring her when he was training and she fought lev-"

"okay that's it"I tell hannes feeling embarrassed

"wait how old are you?"hannes asks eren

"15" [ he was 10 but that's a little wierd so I'm making him 15 and hera is also 15 ]

"how about you hera?"he asks

"15"

"''Well he's right , he saved our town from a plague before , we can't thank him enough but these titans are different story , i see titans walking around all the time when i mend the walls but speaking for a soldier , i don't think they can do do anything about this 50 meter wall''hannes says

''So you don't have the will to fight them?''i ask

''Nope''

''WHAT''me and eren yell out and we look at each other

''Why don't you stop calling yourselves the town guards and call yourself the wall menders''eren yells

''Has a nice ring to it , but listen eren and hera , when people see soldiers fighting , they know something bad happened , everyone's much happier when we're doing nothing and getting called useless freeloaders ''hannes says

''Yeah i know we might not get out but we'll live as long as we can eat and sleep , but...we're living like...like...LIVESTOCK''eren yells and hannes looks surprised

''This kid sure knows how to talk , not like you can do anything , right hannes?''one of the drunken soldiers said

''Ugh right''eren says as he starts walking away and we follow him

''HEY EREN AND HERA , YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY KIDS''one drunk soldier yelled out

''Eren i don't think you should join the recon corps''mikasa tells eren and my eyes widen

''What? You think they're stupid too?''eren tells mikasa

''they're stupid''mikasa says and eren turns to me

''What about you?''he asks

''They aren't stupid'' i tell him and he smiles

Then the bell rings and his eyes widen

''The recon group is back , the front gate is opening , lets go mikasa and hera The heroes have returned''he yells grabbing me and mikasa's hand and dragging us with him

''Damn i can't see''he mutters as he sees boxes and gets on them and so do we

''Look its your brother''eren says as he points to him and eren smiled and then erwin turns his head towards us and he smiles when he sees eren but then hides it and smiles again when he sees me and i wave at him and he waves back but then stops and we look behind him and see soldiers injured

''Why are they so few of them?''eren asks

''A bunch of them were eaten''i tell him

''MOSES MOSES''we hear a woman yell and everyone turns around to see what happened

''My son , moses...i can't find him''the woman says looking around

''Where is my son''

''It's her , moses mother , bring it here''a soldier says as another soldier hands her something with blood all over it and she opens it up and a hand was there

''Oh my god''i whisper

''That was the only part of him we could salvage''the soldier says and the woman falls on her knees crying

''But...my son...was useful..right? , he might not have been a hero..but he at least died helping mankind fight back right?''she asks

''Of course...no...during the mission we...no even after our missions...WE STILL HAVEN'T MADE ANY PROCESS , I'M A FAILURE , I'VE JUST GOTTEN SOLDIERS KILLED LEFT AND RIGHT AND WE STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED ANYTHING USEFUL ABOUT THE TITANS''he yells and other soldiers drag him away and we all start heading back home and i turn around and eren was gone

''Mikasa''i tell her and she turns and sees him missing and we go back and we see eren hit someone in the head and mikasa drags him away

''Hey what are you doing mikasa''he yells and the guys yells to come back , she drags him far away

''Okay i get it mikasa''he yells and she throws him into a wall making everything fall on the floor

"what was that for? look at all the wood"eren yells out

"eren , have you changed your mind about joining the recon corps?"mikasa asks and he stays silent for awhile

"help me pick this up"he tells mikasa and I help him too

"there's not much"mikasa says

we walk back home and eren opens the door

"we are back"he says and they all turn and towards us

"welcome home"mrs jaeger says as we walk in

"wow eren , I'm surprised you gathered this much firewood today"mrs.jaeger says walking towards eren as he puts the wood away

"hey"my mom says as I sit down next to her and I feel her tense up

"hey"I tell her bluntly

"y-yeah"eren says and then she pulls his ear

"what was that for?"he asks

"your ear was red , you were lying , mikasa helped you , didn't she?"she asks and eren just shrugs

"huh dad , are you heading out?"eren asks his dad as mrs.jaeger gives me a plate of food

"thank you"I tell her smiling

"yeah , I have to go see someone in the inner walls , I'll be back in two or three days"his dad says and we all eat

"eren wants to join the recon corps"mikasa says and we all stop eating and eren stops and glares at her

"MIKASA YOU TRAITOR"eren yells

"eren what are you thinking"his mom yells as she grabs him

"do you know how many people die outside these walls?"his mom yells at him

"I DO"

"you clearly don't"she yells back

"carla , what are we going to do with them"my mom says harshly

"mom don't"I tell her

"hera wants to join the recon corps too" my mom says disgustingly and they all look at me

"what? poor sweet innocent hera?"his mom whispers

"yeah , she wants to follow her brothers footsteps"my mom says

eren looks at me surprised and mikasa too

"what?"I ask them

"wait seriously? we can join together since mikasa hates the idea"eren says smiling

"deal"I tell him smiling and a little blush rises on his cheeks which makes me smile more

"do you want to go outside?"my dad asks both of us

"I want to see and understand the world outside , I don't want to die inside these walls without knowing what's out there! on top of that , if no one takes on their jobs , then those who lost their lives will have died in vain"eren yells at my father and I nod agreeing with what he's saying

"hera said something along those lines as well"my father says looking at me annoyingly

"I see , my ships here , I must get going"his father says standing up

"wait dear , help me convince eren"his mom says

"carla , nothing can suppress a human's curiosity"he says

"eren , after I've returned , I'll show you the basement that I've been keeping you away from"he adds pulling out a key

"for real?"eren asks

"yeah , here take it , I must be going now"he says and they their goodbyes and he leaves

"have a safe trip"eren yells out

"I won't allow it"his mom says again

"you won't be joining something stupid like the recon corps"his mom says

"stupid?"I ask

"people who are content living like livestock are more stupid"eren says as he runs away

"EREN"his mom calls out

"mikasa , he's truly a reckless boy , when trouble comes , be sure to help each other out"his mom yells mikasa

"okay"mikasa says and she walks inside

"go follow him , I'll be there in a minute"mikasa says and I nod and run off where eren went

I find him and he's running towards some kids who were bullying a blonde headed boy.

"h-hera smith is behind him , let's go"one of them says and they run off

"hey are you okay armin?"eren asks the boy

"I can stand up by myself"the kid says

"oh sorry"eren says

"were they scared of me?"I ask as I see them running away

"obviously"eren says

"who is this?"the kid asks

"hera smith"I say taking my hand out

"armin arlert"he says shaking it smiling

"nice name"I tell him and he smiles more

"she's erwin smiths sister"eren says smiling

"no way really?"armin says and I nod

we walk towards the river and I sit down and eren does too and starts throwing rocks

"so after telling them that mankind needs to go outside eventually , they beat me , calling me a heretic"armin says

"don't listen to those idiots"I tell him

"damnit"eren says throwing more rocks at the water

"we just want to go outside , why does everyone hate us?"eren says

"because they don't think like we do"I tell him

"well it's been peaceful living inside these walls for the past 100 years , titans might be let inside when people leave the walls , so the king's government banned people from showing interest to the outside world"armin says

"we're risking our own lives , no one has the right to stop us"eren says

"you can't do that , no way"mikasa says

"mikasa how dare you tell my parents"eren yells at her

"I don't remember agreeing to help you" mikasa says

"it was still fucked up to tell his parents either way"I tell her as I throw a rock

"so how did it go?"armin asks

"well , they weren't happy about it"eren says

"I figured"armin says

"people are crazy for believing that these walls will protect us forever"I tell them

"even though the walls have been intact for the past 100 years , there's nothing that can guarantee they won't be broken down today"armin says

then the floor shakes like a bomb just exploded and we all jump up

"wh-what was that"mikasa asks

"was it an explosion?"armin asks

"over there"we hear someone yell

"something fell"we hear someone else say

armin runs towards the people yelling

"hey armin"eren yells as we follow him

"what happened?"I ask

"what are you looking at?"eren asks and we look at the wall and there was a huge hand on it

"you're kidding...that wall is 50 meters high"eren whispers

"it's them"I tell them as then the head comes up and my eyes widen

"titans"eren says

we all scream when we see pieces of the wall flying towards us , we run away as fast as we could

"he made a hole in the wall"I whisper

then we see a titan come in and people started yelling

"one of them is coming"

"the titans are inside"

"we need to get-"

"EREN"I yell out

"my house is over there , mom is..."

"MY PARENTS"I yell out as I follow eren towards the house

"MIKASA , EREN , HERA"armin yells out

We push people aside as i run with eren and mikasa to his house

''Our house is definitely safe , once i make a turn here , our house will be there like always ''eren says and we turn and the house was destroyed

''MOM''he yells out as we run faster

''Eren''she whispers

''My parents , where are they''i ask

''They were in the kitchen and that's where the rock fell , they are dead , im so sorry''she says as tears start pouring into her eyes

''no..no..''i whisper as tears start falling from my eyes , I honestly didn't care for them since they never wanted me but it still hurt

''Mikasa grab that side , we need to pull this piller''eren says as him and mikasa try grabbing it

Then we hear more screams and see more titans coming inside and we see a titan far away coming towards us

''Hurry come on''i tell them as i grab an end and we start pulling it

''The titans are coming , eren take mikasa an run''his mom says

''Hurry , i want to run too , hurry up and get out''eren yells as we try to lift it back up

''My legs have been crushed by the debris , i can't run even if i get out , do you understand?''his mom says

''I'll carry you and run''eren yells

''Why can't you just listen to what i say for once , please just listen to me , just one last time?''she yells

''NO NO''eren yells

''At this rate all four of us will-HANNES''she yells

''Take the kids and run''she yells

''Don't take me lightly carla , ill kill the titan and save all four of you''hannes says as he takes out a blade and starts running towards it but then stops and runs back , he grabs all of us

''Hey hannes , what the hell are you doing''eren yells

''Thank you''she says and he starts running away with us

''MY MOM IS STILL TRAPPED THERE''eren yells

''EREN , MIKASA , HERA , LIVE ON''she yells

''STOP''eren yells and i look back and see the titan grab carla

And eats her
