⭐(Y/N)'S P.O.V⭐
"We can't trust her! She may go haywire like the Female Titan!!" a man, about my height, argued with Erwin about what would be done with me. "Eren is the exact same and he's here, so we can do the same with her. Just keep an eye on her," the blond man gestured to me kindly. "We don't need another Titan mishap. For all I care, we can throw her outside the goddamn walls!" He raven haired Corporal argued.
I looked over at Erwin, a scared look plastered across my face. The ropes around my wrist seemed to get tighter and tighter as the time passed. "Corporal Levi, we must agree or compromise upon an answer before the evening meal," Erwin said as his apologetic eyes locked with my (e/c) fearful ones. "We can't risk another threat in these walls!" Levi slammed his hands to the table. A large slam echoed through the room at his action.
"We compromise. She goes outside the walls," he started and I felt tears begin to fall from my face, "but we set up a base for her to stay. That way we can keep watch over her and if (y/n) turns, she will be outside the walls. A win/win on both sides, I say." As he explained the rest of the agreed upon solution, the tears streaming down my face soon were tears of joy and relief, yet fear and sadness still lurked behind them.now

A week or so had passed since the final decision was made and they began work outside the walls on the base I would be living in. As they worked, I was held in a cell, chained to the back wall farthest from the door.
Each day, a brunette girl with glasses would bring me food and water. The girl, Hanji, and I began a 20-questions sort of thing where she would ask a yes or no question. I'd answer them with a shake of my head, my (h/c) hair falling in my face to keep from making eye contact.
I never spoke to anyone who entered the cell, fearful of the punishment I would receive for doing so. Before I came here, a merchant in Wall Sina had bought me and kept me in his basement, chained as I am now. If I spoke or made eye contact, I would be beat or starved. The Military Police soon found out about what he had done and I was taken and my fate was determined by Erwin and Levi.
It was about the time Hanji would come down with a small meal and question me. I heard footsteps coming down the stone stairs as the person walked over to my small cell, "tch. Do you even talk, brat?" Levi asked. I shook my head and backed up against the wall. Atempting to get as far away from him as possible, I soon failed due to the short chain. He grabbed something from his pocket and I realized that it was a set of keys, as he unlocked the door and walked up to me. I moved as far as the chains would let me, he reached down and unlocked the cuffs that held my wrists. "Follow me but don't try anything or I have orders to kill you on the spot," Levi said with a blank expression, as we walked out of the tiny stone room and I followed him up the stairs and into the sunlight.
I squinted my (e/c) eyes at the light, having barely seen any for about a week. My only clothes that I had and was brought in, were tattered. My skirt was shredded to mid-thigh and my shirt hung just above my belly button, revealing my scarce figure. Years of torture left my once perfect figure, now bone thin and worn. "Clothing will be provided to you as well as shelter," Levi spoke up as if reading my mind. I simply nodded, keeping my eyes to the ground below me.
After a couple more minutes of walking, we reached a large gate. It began opening as we drew closer and stepped under it. Lifting my head, I look all around and to the right, against the wall sat a small house. "That's yours," Erwin said, walking up beside me and placing a reassuring hand on my thin shoulder. I walked over and inside, looking around for I had never had a home to my own. "Get settled in and meet me at the gate when the clock says 7," the blond male pointed to a clock that read 6:30. I looked up at him, me being much shorter, and gave him a wide smile. "T-thank you, for l-letting me live" I stuttered and looked back down. A smile tugged at his cheeks as he nodded and closed the door.
I decided to explore my new home and get used to it before it was time to go meet Erwin. The front door lead to a small dining room with a simple wooden table in the middle of the room and a few chairs around it. Through a doorway to the right, a slightly larger room had a sofa and bookshelf and straight through another door was a bed and dresser. I walk over and open one of the drawers and see it already stocked with clothing. I grab a tan button up shirt and brown pants to replace my rags. I noticed a small bathroom sat through a doorway connected to my bedroom and walk inside. Seeing a shower, I turn the water on and strip down to my bare skin, my ribs visible in some areas. I step in the shower, being so long since I'd had one. As the warm water washed over me, I scrubbed the dirt and grime off of my skin and out of my hair. After a few minutes, I turn off the water and step out, a towel hanging beside it waiting for me.
After I dried myself, I dressed in the clothes I had grabbed and noticed that it was time for me to go meet Erwin.
'Let's hope that this goes well...'
