I lay in bed, trying to figure out the dream I just had. It made no sense, I was fighting a Titan then it turned into a cat.
I sit up and reach for the bed lamp. I cringe at the sudden pain in my right arm. I probably slept on it funny but I was normally was in pain when I woke up. The Survey Corps were rough even if I've been a member for a long time.
About a week ago, the Survey Corps had gone out on a mission to get to Eren Jeager's house, something about retrieving something from his basement. Almost half of the SC was killed and eaten by Titans. We had ran into a female Titan also. Someone said that it was an intelligent.
The female Titan had killed most of Captain Levi's troops. Only Levi and Eren survived actually. It was a shame, Levi's men were good fighters. I wasn't there when it happened, but I heard that Eren had shifted into a Titan to fight the female because he felt bad for letting the troops die. I heard the cries, it sounded awful.
Then we had a plan to trap the female Titan a couple days later. Eren fought her again. They destroyed half of the city. Eren had finally beat her but the female Titan froze in some sort of unbreakable ice. I was really bummed after that, I want some answers. But that was weeks ago. So we had basically given up hope.
My door opens slightly and a member of my troops pokes her head through. "Captain, theres a meeting." she says. I slide out of bed, my bare feet touch the cold stone flooring.
"I'll be out in a minute, Jane." I rub my eyes, trying to wipe the sleep away. Jane nods, shutting the door quietly behind her. Running my hands through my short blonde hair, I grab my pants and a black sweatshirt. I always got cold on any mission anywhere. I put on all my clothing and slip my boots on.
I rinse my face off in the small sink provided for each captain. I look at myself in the mirror. My skin looked quite vibrant today. My freckles are scattered all over my face, I hadn't grown out of them yet which really bugged me. I wonder what my face looked like with no freckles. I would probably look like a blank piece of paper since I was so pale.
I try and brush the tangles in my wild hair. I had cut it short last month and it still got knotted. I was hoping that wouldn't happen. But alas it did. I sigh and set the brush on the sink and lean over it. My hair hangs over my face, enclosing my in a blanket of hair.
Getting the feeling of lateness, I grab my SC jacket and leave. The hallways in this building were empty, was this meeting really that important?
I turn into the dinning hall, and find all of the captains sitting at the middle table. They all stop what they're doing and look at me. Levi motions for me to sit by him. I grin and pull the chair out. Levi's eyes were set and calm. Showing almost no emotion.
"New plan." a squad leader with fizzy red hair sitting next to me whispers once I get adjusted. I nod, letting him know I understood. I look around the table, most of the captains have serious looks on there face, others are distracted by a fleck of dust or the windows. If I do say so myself the windows were quite a sight. They were giant stain glass ones, with pictures of Titans eating people and destroying villages.
"Right, now Captain Cronin is here we can proceed." Erwin glares at me. I grin sheepishly at him. I was always late to these things, always getting on Erwin's nerves. I bet he liked it when I did this. Note the sarcasm.
He continues to talk about how we could get the crystalized girl out, stuff we talked about days ago. I start to tap my foot on the ground, keeping an imaginary beat. A young man sitting next to Erwin looks up. I recognize him. Wasn't he Eren? His dark brown hair hangs over his brilliant green eyes.
I stop tapping my foot, and try and pay attention to what Erwin was saying. Something about intelligent titans. I sigh, this topic always seems to come up in these meetings.
I start to nod off when I'm shaken awake by Levi. He gives me a small glare and focuses back on Erwin. I nearly snort at Levi's seriousness.
I stop looking at Levi and stare at Erwin. I wonder how Erwin got his eyebrows like so. Did he groom them? They looked like tiny little caterpillars above his eyes.
I look over at Eren again, only to catch him staring at me. He quickly looks away, distracting himself with the edge of the table. I continue to goof off in my brain until everyone started to get up. I stand up in relief, stretching my back.
I start to wander into the kitchen, hopefully they still had some food left for me.
"Captain Cronin! Wait!" I spin around, looking for the owner of the voice. I grin as my eyes land on Armin, one of the new recruits and a member of my squad. Armin was a very bright young man, he saved his friends from getting killed a couple weeks ago.
"Call me Cronin when we're not in battle, Armin." I start to turn around, Armin catches up to me and starts to talk.
"Did captain Erwin say anything about Eren?" he finally slows down with his gibberish. I ponder this question for a moment. I wasn't really paying attention that long to know anything about that.
"Er, not to my knowledge." I scratch the back on my neck. Armin smiles warmly.
"You weren't paying attention again, right?" his glassy blue eyes state up at me, I see the admiration. I hang my head.
"I swear, I have a problem." I laugh. Armin snickers. We walk for a couple more minutes until I get distracted again. Armin heads in a different direction.
I end up back in the dinning hall, some soldiers were eating some leftover stew from last night. It smelt amazing, my stomach started to growl as if on cue. I almost skip over to the kitchen from the thought of food.
After sweet talking the maid working there I sit down with my small bowl of stew. I hum to myself as a scoop some soup into my mouth, its been forever since I had such good stew. I nearly moan. I push the bowl away from me once I finish it and lean back in my chair. My eyes start to droop over and I give into sleep.
I dash on the rooftops, trying to catch the deviant titan. Its large belly was bouncing up and down as it ran towards the opened wall. I almost giggle at its attempt to run. I pull the trigger on the handgrips and the grappling hook embeds it self into the titans shoulder. In one swift spinning motion I cut deep into the neck of the titan, its sticky blood spatters along my back as I hook onto a building near by. I turn to watch the fat titan fall to the ground.
I start to head back to my troops when a large hand raps around me. My heart almost stops, was my life really going to end like this? In the hands of a titan. I turn to look at the titan. Shaggy brown hair cover a pair of piercing green eyes. My breath catches.
"Eren?" I barely whisper.
