my truth (snk fanfiction)

chapter 3

i stood stroking my horse's face, humming quietly.

"are you ready for this lex?" i asked the stallion, he shook his large, majestic head as if he understood, "yeah, me neither."

"then why are you going?"asks a deep, masculine voice. i don't have to look back to know that standing behind me is my new commander. his striking blue eyes burned my back with such intensity i nearly shrank away to avoid him.

"because i believe this is the least regrettable choice, i don't want to waste my life away drinking, kissing the ass of the king, or hiding behind these walls. i know there's more out there, there has to be." i say proudly to the commander, i can feel the determination radiating out of me as i turn and salute to the blond man. his blue eyes soften a bit, but still remain authoritative.

"you are one hell of a soldier enjel, i can already tell," erwin says before walking away to do god knows what. after the small conversation i can feel my nerve coming back. i start to saddle up lex to get some riding in before leaving for our new HQ. i get him to start walking out of the stables and get him to keep walking on at a slow trot, waiting for a good thirty seconds i was about to have some fun unaware a head of two toned hair rounded the corner and was watching curiously.

"one, two, three!" i said as i started running forward towards the painted stallion. when i got close enough with good momentum, i jumped over lex's rump and landed in his saddle. this in turn spooked the horse and set him into running without even having to flick the reins, speaking of reins i had to grab them quick before he started bucking. i gripped the leather strap like a lifeline in my hands laughing at the silly animal running around like a panicked human in the face of a titan. that's when lex started kicking the air to get the assaulter off of him. when he suddenly reared into the air making me fall to the hard turf with an 'oof'. lex turned, still on his hind legs and was about to come down on me when i heard a gasp of horror and running footsteps. the person didn't get to us in time, but there was no reason to be scared. lex's large, powerful hooves come down on either side of my head sparing only about six centimeters on either side of my head. the runner sighed in relief when he saw i was uninjured. lex bent down his neck and started nipping at my hair, causing his long main to fall into my face making me laugh

"okay! okay! you win lex! stahp that tickles!" i struggled to back up only to be followed by the large stallion, "help! crazy horse on the loose! i don't want to die by this fiends hooves!" i yelled unable to contain my laughter at the steed.

"what were you thinking?!" said a teenage voice said. i squinted as they let the horse away from me, letting the sun's harsh rays to flow into my eyes blinding me temporarily.

"what do you mean?"i asked the stranger. i rolled backwards pushing off the ground with my hands and landing onto my feet once more. i was able to get a good look at him, he had a long, structured face (cough like a horse cough cough), copper blond hair, and golden eyes. i shook my hair into my eyes when i saw him give me that look, a look of confusion and unease. this stranger shocked me greatly as he continued to speak, most would be so haunted by the sheer blood color of my eyes that they would slowly back away from talking distance, then turn and run.

"i mean that he could have easily smashed your head to pieces! how would your family react?!" he scolded me. as soon as he uttered that accursed word, my red eyes shot up to glare into his golden iris'

"shut your mouth! they are not my family, for all i care they can be eaten by titans. they're nothing but monsters and i would rather my head smashed to pieces before seeing any of those savages for a second for the rest of this miserable life!" i bitterly say to him. i can feel blood run down my hand , for i was clasping my hands so tightly my nails drew the red liquid from my veins. lex started to go back to the stables, and i followed suit, not wanting to be near the tall boy.

"yo angel!" lukas shouted running up to me, when he saw the blood on my hand, "what happened to your hand angel?"

"i tripped and a rock cut it open," i muttered. he shrugged and followed me to the stables to get his horse ready to leave.
