Shhh Attack On Titan/Shiii Shingeki no Kyojin

Chapter 1?

Jesla Echo's POV

=Year 845=

"C'mon Keres we already came this far you don't wanna back out now. Besides, it's been forever since we've done anything remotely interesting or adventurous. I'm sooo tired of the same old things, don't you wanna explore the outer sections? Think about how close they are to the outside world!" I ranted, clutching the deep auburn edges of my cloak in my fists. My baby face scrunched pleadingly.

Keres shook her red frilly-haired head and sighed. "But it's just another city, Jesla, we live in one. It's not going to be different. Besides, if we get caught then we have to deal with the Military Police. That means that our chances at joining the Scouts would be smudged out." She glanced at her own cloak, which she had taken off and was holding in her hands. It was a saturated emerald color and held the symbol of her idols the Scout Regiment: the wings of freedom.

I pulled in my cinnamon-brown eyebrows and examined the brick ground. There she goes again, planning better than I ever could, for the future.... What even is this future thing everyone talks about so much?

"Ok, but what if we don't get caught, so what if we do and it's not even a big deal? The thing is, we don't even know how serious it is to go out because we don't know anything about anything. We've lived here our whole lives without knowing hardly anything and..." I raised my warm tawny eyes, "I really want to at least touch the outer walls. Maybe it's stupid and pointless, but it's just so cool to think that outside those walls is no more walls! Who knows maybe there's even some way we can see outside the walls there..?" My chest heaves passionately as I explain. "I know it's maybe not the smartest idea, but it's my dream to see outside the walls or at least come close.... But, if you really don't want to... we can go back home. Maybe I'll be brave enough to go alone one day." My eyes fell back to the cobblestone street.

Keres let out a long sigh, she tightened her grip on the cape in her hands. "How long are we going to stay In Shiganshina? And be real." She acknowledged that even one day in the future, letting her friend go alone would probably end pretty badly.

My heart jittered with joy, excitement, and a tinge of metallic fear. "Wait, really?? Well, just long enough to look around a bit, and touch the wall." I joggled my fists in front of me with excitement. "Ok, so here's the plan," I said melodramatically, "we walk next to the merchant cart through the gate, no one will question where our parents are if we look like merchant helpers." I turned on my hickory booted heels arching my neck around to explain as I began to walk away. My feet carried me briskly towards the gate, despite the worry in my brain. I tucked my fringes behind my ears hoping that the cloak would hide my hair color and make me less recognizable, not that brown is an uncommon color. But just in case.

I gave Keres a knowing look and drifted casually next to a fat merchant cart. Who knows what's in this thing, but it looks like it's going to explode.

My heart pounded harder and harder as we got closer to the gate. I hope the merchant doesn't notice us, I hope the guards are fooled, I hope no one we know sees us, ah this is so scary!

We slipped through the gate into the outermost section of the walls, with surprising ease.

I looked around fascinated by every little thing. No matter how minute, it was new, it was different, it was where we weren't supposed to be, that made it wondrous!

The buildings looked a bit different, more squished together, and smaller. The streets were also more crowded. Other differences popped up as well but all in all, it wasn't a different world than the interior where we lived. No, the different world would be outside the walls... I'm sure.
