I heard the cellar door open and i sat up in my bed. I heard some faint footsteps before a figure appeared outside my cell. I jumped slightly and she smiled. Her hair was pulled back and she wore a pair of glasses. But like.... They weren't normal glasses. They had a strap on them so that you could fight in them. She had a goofy smile on her face.
"Oh you must be Eren. I'm Hanji. Today is your lucky day. You get to leave your cell".
I sighed and smiled.
"Just one tiny thing. You Have to wear these"
She held a pair of shackles in front of her and my face dropped.
Of course
~~~~~~~
I was on my knees and chained to a pole in the middle of a large room. Around 50 people were there too. I looked around and saw Mikasa looking pissed and Armin looking scared. The judge spoke and my trial began
...........
"Maybe she's one!"
A man pointed at Mikasa.
"Yeah I bet she's not human either! Dissect her too just to be safe!"
My blood boiled as their words filled the air.
"Now hold on a second! Maybe I'm the monster that you want dead! But you leave her out of this! She's innocent!"
"Like we trust you!"
"It's the truth!"
"She must be one if you protect her!"
"STOP IT!"
I pulled against the chains, causing them to hit the pole, and the whole room went silent.
"You're wrong.... You do whatever it takes to make things go your way. And you've never even seen a titan.... So why are you so afraid?"
I should shut up..... No. I'll let them know exactly what I'm thinking.
"If those with strength don't fight, then who will? If you're too scared to fight for your lives, at least don't hinder me. You're all cowards!"
"What?!"
"Just shut up and put all your faith in me!"
The whole room grew uncomfortably silent until a member of the military police spoke up.
"Take aim dammit!"
"Oh right! Yes sir!"
A gun was pointed at me and my eyes grew wide. Corporal Levi appeared in front of me and he kicked my face, causing a tooth to fly out. I looked back up at him in fear and he kicked me in the stomach. He pulled me forward by my hair and kneed me in the face. He continued beating me until my face was dripping blood, and then he pinned my head to the ground with his foot.
"You know. I think the best kind of discipline is pain. You don't need a good talking to. What you're in need of boy is to be taught a lesson. And you happen to be in perfect kicking position".
He removed his foot and landed a swift kick to the side of my face, then continued to stomp on my head as everyone watched.
"N-Now hold on Levi"
"What is it?"
He removed his foot from my face and looked at the source of the voice.
"It's dangerous. What if he gets mad and turns into a titan?"
He kicked me in the face once more.
"Don't be stupid. Besides, you guys just wanted to dissect him, didn't you? It's said that Jaeger took out 20 titans before he ran out of steam. If he was our enemy, he would have caused us more trouble. He still can't stand against me though. How about you? Those of you that persecute him, think it over. Can you really kill him?"
Erwin raised his hand,
"Supreme commander, I have a proposal".
"What is it?"
"Eren's titan ability has a multitude uncertainties and unknown elements. It is extremely dangerous. I propose that we put him under Captain Levi's command and send them on a mission outside the walls".
"Eren will go as well?"
"Yes. Whether or not he can control his abilities... And whether or not he will be beneficial to mankind... Will be based on the results of the mission".
"And if he loses control?"
Captain Levi spoke up,
"I can definitely kill him if it comes to that. The only problem is that there is absolutely no middle ground".
"Well then I have reached a decision".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat on a couch in a room with Mike, Hanji, Erwin, and Levi as Hanji tended to my wounds.
"Does it hurt Eren?"
"Yeah a little".
"Yeah? Describe it to me".
Erwin spoke up.
"Sorry for all that. We needed to ensure that he would give you to us instead of the military police. But the pain was worth it. We did it at the perfect time. You have my respect. I look forward to working with you".
He extended his hand to shake mine and i gladly accepted the gesture.
Levi sat down next to me and crossed his legs, causing me to let go of Erwin's hand and flinch away.
"So Eren".
"Y-Yes sir?"
"Do you hate me?"
I looked down,
"No. I understand it was all an act to get me here".
"Good then"
"You know you could have held back Levi. You even knocked out his tooth. See? Look at it"
Hanji held my tooth in a cloth.
"Don't touch that. It's disgusting".
I stayed silent. I didn't know what to do in this situation.
"This is a precious sample"
"Hey Eren. Just be glad that people like that aren't dissecting you"
"Don't you dare compare me with them. I would never hurt Eren. Hey Eren.... Let me see your mouth pleeaassee".
I hesitated and then opened my mouth. She stared in awe, but gasped quietly.
"You're tooth is.... Already growing back".
