Lucie's POV:
I'd wake after being shaken, rolling over as I opened one of my eyes, squinting at the light that shined through the window. "Come on, it's time to get up, we have training today." Jess spoke, already in her uniform. I'd groan, pushing my duvet off of me as I swing my legs off my bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I walked over to my uniform, Jess looking out the window as I dressed.

I slid my boots on and got up, walking over to Jess as I took the key of the desk, grinning as she turned in surprise, I dashed to the door, unlocking it as I pushed on the door, my back against it as Jess tried to push it open "Oh, come on! Get off the door you dickhead!" She yelled. "Hehe, never!" I snickered, keeping my back against the door until I heard footsteps and turned my head, looking up to see the cadets with Erwin and two other commanders by his side, while I was distracted, Jess shoved through the door and I was pushed forward, face planting into the wall in front.

Third person POV:
Jess stood in the door way, noticing Erwin, the two commanders and the cadets. "She started it-"
"No, I don't want to hear it, just get her up and let's go." He cut in, sighing before Jess bent down to help Lucie up as she held her nose, as it gushed of blood, Erwin stepped forward, offering a tissue from his pocket as Lucie glared, shaking her head "alright then, I understand, I'm new to you, it can be scary to meet new people." He offered a smile and Lucie sighed, going back to her room to clean up. After a minute or two Lucie came back out, sniffling as she kept her gaze on the floor. "Alright, good ti see you better, let's hope you hav no more accidents these next for weeks." He smiled, referring to her ankle. "Don't need another rescue mission now, do we?" The cadets were surprised by his words, looking to Lucie as she glared at Erwin, though she was mainly hurt, she was the reason they had to do two missions in one, what if she took the lives of people without even realising it? She'd shake her head, following after the others as Jess gave her a comforting smile and Lucie nodded back, a small smile on her face.

We arived at our training location, in earnest however, the lessons were hardly combat oriented and we mainly focused on commander Erwins formations and where we'd be. "You rookies will be here, between the wagon defense squad and the scouts support squad." out teacher said, making sure we were all paying attention.

Lucie's POV:
"All this just to get eren back to some cupboard under his stairs.. Wasn't his home destroyed anyway? What's the point, we're never going to find it anyway. " I mumbled to Jess as we both kept our gaze in front of us. "Tell me about it, I don't want to go any less than you do, plus, no doubt I'll need to save your ass if your ankle acts up again." she smile to herself. "Pfft. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say."

Mikasa's POV:
I overheard them. Those two really think like that? What fools. With attitudes like that, they might as well already be dead, for doubting people like Erwin and Eren, they must know what they're doing, surely they wouldn't waste lives after the last mission. I looked to Armin, it seemed he heard them too as he looked back at me with a concerned look. I'd simply turn to look back in front of me again, we were sat in front of Jess and Lucie, I didn't want us to look suspicious or like we were trying to listen in. Our lessons were concluded and we returned to the castle we'd be staying in.

Jess's POV:
We were making our way back inside when we heard a familiar voice call out "Hey! Mikasa! Armin!" the boy we were doing this for, Eren Yeager. Our group haulted as everyone turned to greet Eren. Mikasa was the most worried, immediately asking if he was being hurt or mistreated and Eren denied, saying he was perfectly fine. Sasha and Connie then called out and Eren turned to us. "Oh, hey guys, your all here.. uh...wait, if all of you are here then does that mean you're saying that you guys all joined the scouts?" Eren asked. "Well yeah, why else would we be here?" Connie responded with a smirk. "Of course, so then Jean, Annie and Marco went to the military police then?" he tilted his head as everyone looked behind him with a concerned look it was Jean. "Wait a sec, you joined too?" he asked, confused and Jean responded dimly "Marco is dead." Eren gasped, saying that Jean must be joking, but Jean was dead serious "I wish I could tell you that he died nobly or heroically, but, truth is I don't know how he went out.. He died alone, there was no one there to see it happen.." Eren stared at Jean with disbelief before finally accepting it "Marcos dead.." Eren mumbled.

Our thoughts were cut short by the call from a commander, "Alright rookies! Form up!" we all looked up, seeing two men from the scouts holding new uniform, our uniform, the famous Green scout capes, printed with the image of a shield and what looked like blades formed into the shape of what looke like wings. "Your uniforms are here!" We all collected our capes, throwing them over our shoulders as the soft fabric glided over us, resting on our backs as it provided a small layer of warmth, but most of all, damn did it feel cool.

{Time skip}

We were just loading supplies into crates as Eren and Jean were bickering, apparently Eren tried to kill Mikasa while in titan form, which Eren said he had no memory of, making us all tense up. We ignored the rest of their talk, tomorrow is the day we leave, tomorrow determined if we're ever to see the light of another day, after today, we'd all change, for better or for worse.
