A Land Of Monsters And Men

New Face

I can continue to think of my encounter with those men in the car. If they had taken me and killed me, would have I been that girl in the coffin? Would anyone have come to my funeral? Would anyone have found my body?

Kenny held his hat seeing you running in toward him and the armored Titan.

"Damn kid doesn't listen!" He gasped as the armored Titan swung toward him the wind was strong enough to send him flying back and onto the grass field.

You watched as he tumbled onto the grass using the barrel of his shotguns to help him up.

"Damn it kid! I said to run!"

"Shut up Grandpa!!" You shouted rushing toward the armored Titan as it looked back at you.

"Who are you calling Grandpa Brat!"Kenny yelled out.

Reiner's eyes widened seeing you running toward him.
"There she is!"

As he ran toward you your eyes were full of determination.

{Something changed me that day. I learned something after the encounter I had with those two pigs. I was able to see where the concept of pain, love, greed and death come into play.

I wasn't afraid anymore. I knew exactly what had to be done. I made my peace with the understanding that death comes for all. But under the right circumstances we can fight it.}

Raising your hand up you used the knife Reiner gave you to cut your palm.

Lighting shot down constructing your bones and muscles that completed your skulls tissue with armor.

"What!" Reiner screamed as something had smashed his head hard enough to shatter the armored plating on his face. His jaw flew right off as he knelt down to the side.

"Son of a bitch!" Kenny jumped to the side dodging the armored Titans jaw.

"Wh- what the hell was that?"

Your hand emerged from the smoke thundering down to the ground as your terrifying form revealed itself.

"How did she? Did she master transforming? Shit this is a problem! Bertholdt told me you changed drastically. You're refusing to come back with me but that's not a choice for you to make! I'm bringing you back with me!"

Steam came from where his missing jaw once was. As he stumbled to stand up. Your tail swung back and forth as you crouched down.

"It must be the same form from before if she's able to maneuver on all fours. But it's different. I need to test out her abilities so she can still prove to be useful. So don't hold back on me! Show me everything!"

Kenny watched from the side his mouth wide open. "Is she a damn cat? A dog? A wolf? What the hell kind of Titan is that? Al be damned she's a weird one!

Hey! Quit screwing around and get it over with!!"

He shouted, making you look back at him as your tail moved side to side.

The distraction was enough for the Armored Titan to charge forward screaming but you quickly leaped forward onto him.

Grabbing hold of his shoulders, your feet were against his chest with the extra back toe digging into the armor. You were latched onto him like a tick.

Your tail wrapped around his neck as you crawled on top, holding his head as he tried to pull you off.

"What is she doing!" Your armored jaw opened and your inner mouth showed
The sound of your cheeks skin tearing along with your jaw bones cracking to expand your jaw revealed the insides of your teeth. Clamping down onto the armored Titans face you tore half of his face off.

"I can't see anything! She tore half of my face off! She mastered the Jaw Titans abilities!"

He staggered around with you but your hand gripped onto his wrist biting down tearing them from the arm. He finally released you realizing this was a fight he couldn't win.

Throwing your arm back your claws were already armored sharp like razors as you swung it to the back of his head. Piercing through the armor, muscle, and his skull.

The armored Titan staggered around with you. Pulling his head back your jaws opened wide like before, snapping down on his neck like a pair of scissors.

"I can't go with you Reiner, forgive me for what I have done to provoke this."

You pulled your head to the side tearing his head right off as it flew off hitting the ground.

"I'll be damned! She's a nasty fighter! Come on kid let's go!!" Kenny shouted thinking the fight was over but it wasn't. The armored Titan fell to its knees as the steam of the neck cleared enough to reveal him.

"Reiner..." Your Titan eyes shined behind the slits of your armored plating. He was at the nape of the neck staring up at you.

"What is she doing?" Kenny watched from the side.

Reiners eyes were locked to the eyes of your Titan almost as if he were seeing right through it.

{I did this. I chased all for this. I don't know if he wants to take me back because of the power I have or because of the promise he swore to keep.

If I let him go he might stop looking for me and go back to obtain Eren. I can't let him go.}

Lifting your head up opening your jaws his face turned to horror as you snapped down onto him.

"Hey kid!!" Kennys eyes were frozen as an Ape like titan appeared from the forest.
