I marched into the registration tent and strait to the sign up desk. "Where do I sign?" I asked quickly evaluating the paper laid in front of me. "At the bottom." Said a highly annoyed looking general. I picked up a pen and scrawled down my name. Avalon Gurrier. Then slammed the paper in front of him and set the pen down. He handed me trainees jacket and sent me over to a loading cart. It was the last day they were accepting recruits.

I pulled the jacket quickly over your top and sat down in the cart. I evaluated the troops, quickly learning that most of them were frightened to even be here. I help back laughter knowing what I had done and why I had done it.

It wasn't long before the cart set off down the road. It was a long ride, several hours. I figured I'd get some sleep before we got there, if it was possible. As I lay my head back against the rickety cart wall I closed my eyes and drifted off into a light, disturbed sleep.

-dream-
I was 15 when the walls fell. All I can remember is running as fast as I could to get away from the beasts. To me it didn't matter where, if only somewhere. I had no family to save, no friends to help. It only mattered that I got out ok.

I ran as fast as I could, winding my way through broken buildings and the bodies of others. As I ran I had avoided my streets but I was forced to swerve onto one, just as a Titan smashed his foot down right next to me. Making the ground I stood on tremble and me fall down as my chest filled with fear. It looked at me just stared. It's large eyes and terrifying grin. Before us could even get up its large bloodied hand came down and scooped me up by the chest. It's large hand compared with the strength of the beast, it was crushing me. I was halfway up as a heard a popping sound knowing the beat had broken a few ribs. My adrenaline was kicking in, keeping me from large amounts of pain.

The Titan brought me up to its face. I stopped squirming, I was accepting my death. Then I was dropped in. I pulled the dagger from my boot and stabbed the tongue of the painless monster. I hung on to dear life. I would have prayed if I actually believed. My dark Indian skin got stained worth the blood of others as my unnaturally silvery hair hung lazily around my face.

The beast then stuck his tongue out preparing to eat another. My blade lost its grip and I fell. Down the throat as I screamed and managed to stab my blade in another spot in his neck. My weight dragged it down, cutting a shallow crevice in his skin.

Just as I tried to climb in the remains of another flew past me, in half. I shivered knowing that could have happened to me.

I stepped into the crevice in his neck as I continued cutting through flaming hot flesh.  By now my hands were burned and raw as tears streamed down my face. I continues my cutting through his neck till I felt some fresh air on my face and I threw the knife down and tore, tore through the flesh. Till I could see the horribly cruel world.

With adrenaline still pumping I picked the knife back up, stabbed it in the soft neck skin and slob down till I was about 10 feet off the ground. I then jumped. I stood panting on the ground as the beast bled out but continued on another way not knowing where I'd gone.

When I stood up there was a woman watching me. She bore the jacket of survey corps. I knew i wasn't supposed to trust them so I ran. My hands stung against the cool air. My body covered in flesh and blood. The woman with the glasses quickly caught up though. "Who are you?!" She asked. "Dead  to you!" I shouted back . But fell forward onto a large shard of glass , impaling me. Strait through my stomach. The woman panicked. "Levi! Get over here." I heard her scream as your silvery hair fell onto my face. Bloodied.

I put my hands to my stomach, and then looking at them realized I was gonna bleed to death. I heard the cords of 3DMG as someone else came to the scene. My vision was blurred with tears and pain. As I stared at the ground. "What?" He asked. I guessed it was the other man who had come. "She clawed out the throat of a 15meter!" The woman exclaimed. "Shame, looks like it'll die now." He said monotonously. "Please Levi!" She cried. He scoffed then called others as I lay bleeding out. I Soon fainted.

When I woke I was in a hospital. There was bandaging around my stomach keeping me from bleeding to death. I felt a painful burning feeling. I pulled up the band aids and realized someone had burned my wound shut. I groaned in pain and got up and left the makeshift hospital.

-dream over-

When I awoke I realized I was in the middle of a large field. The training field. I was huddled into a uniform and then placed I front of a intimidating man. I was lined in rows.

I quickly straitened my shoulders and saluted. My scruffy silvery hair messed up like always and my dark skin stood out as I saluted. The man started screaming in the faces of those who looked too happy to be here. Ultimately on the way to their demise. Though no one realized what they had actually done, except maybe me. And my experience of them, Titans, beasts, who destroyed the little that I had in the first place and left me ultimately "disabled."
