"Wake up Captain. We're leaving." someone shakes me awake. I groan and roll over.
"We can leave tomorrow." I grumble. I feel the covers being pulled off of me. I moan in protest. It was freezing without the warmth of the blankets. I curl up into a ball, trying to stay warm. I really wanted some extra hours of sleep, last night sucked all the energy out of me.
"You told me to do this if you weren't going to get up." a strong arm raps around me and picks me up. I try to look through my eyes glued together with sleep to see where he was going to take me. The person carrying me must have been Ren. He was the only one who I aloud to wake me up. Boy did I regret telling he could do this. He almost took it to seriously.
A door opens and I hear running water. "Ren, what are you doing?" I mumble. Last time this happened I was but outside in the rain. Again I try to open my eyes, only to get a glimpse of a large tub. "Ren, no. I'll get up." I try to escape from his grasp, I really didn't want to get wet. In fact I hated getting wet. Hence the rain.
"You told me to do this." he shrugs.
"I will break every bone in your body." I hiss as he sets me down in the freezing cold water.
"We're leaving in thirty minutes, Captain." he walks out, ignoring my threat. I sigh and bring some water to my face. My eyes finally break away from each other and I can see. My pajama shirt was soaked, and I couldn't feel my rump. I blow my hair out of my face and step out of the tub.
I take my pajama shirt off and wring it out. That's the third one ruined this month. I had a bad problem with sleep.
I throw it on the bed and find my under shirt. I grab it and put it on. I rub my eyes and search for my pants.
After stumbling around for a couple minutes I'm victorious. I slip on my warm pants and start to pack up.
"Captain we're ready to go." Philip walks into my room. I turn around.
"Yeah, give me a sec." I say in monotone. I was half way trough getting over my early morning wake up and I was struggling with not taking out my anger. Normally, someone wakes me up to early I go to the training room in the SC base. A couple months ago there was a lot of waking up early. I think I gained at least five pounds in muscle alone.
"Our horses are waiting by the gates." Armin salutes me as I shut my door behind me. I nod and gesture for all of us to leave.
"Ren, come up here." I call. He quickly walks to my side. I punch his arm.
"That's for waking me up." I grumble.
"Captains orders." he smirks. I punch him again.
"Captains orders my ass."

Outside of the gates were beautiful, I've always loved going on these missions. My mood seemed to rise just because of the scenery. The purple and pink flowers sway gently in our wake. Only a couple small trees stood around us, it slightly worried me, I would be fine but my squad had almost nowhere to go if a Titan appeared.
"Captain, titan." Ren shouts from behind me.
Speak of the fucking devil.
A seven meter titan comes to the left lank. I pull forward, drawing the attention away from my squad. The dumb titan follows me, taking the bait. It still looks over at my squad every second.
"Oi, ass face, over here!" I wave my arms at it. It showed no sign of hurt but it did turn its head towards me. I grin and jump off my horse which falls back to the group. I grab my knife from my boot. The titan was slowly closing in as I unsheathe the knife and make three small cuts on the back of my hand. I grimace, it still hurt to do this. Biting did work but I really didn't like the taste of my hands.
I drop the bloodied knife. My hand begins to drip with blood. The metallic smell of it reaches my noes. I had grown used to the smell. Everyone else probably has too.
I feel my muscles start to jerk and twist. Stronger arms rap around my own. My vision blacks out for second, then I see the titan still advancing.
I roar. My large jaw held thousands of razor sharp teeth. Spit flys out of my mouth. I position myself in my fighting stance, there was no need for it though. This kill would be to easy.
The titan opens its mouth, attempting to take a bite of me. I swing a kick at the titan, making it fall to the ground. I take a giant step forward, bringing his face down with my foot. His face squishes under my foot, I hear bones crack. I repeatedly stomp on his now headless body. Steam rises up around me, I look at the titan now. It was a skeleton with small pieces of flesh still hanging from it.
EREN'S POV~
I see Cronin jump off of her horse. What was she doing? I know she could shift but his was insane. What if she couldn't shift in time?
Bagil looks over and sees my worried look.
"Eren, don't worry. She does this all the time." he assures me. I nod slightly, my eyes still on Cronin. I see a knife drop from her hand. Ren brings us to a safe spot away from the titans. We all watch silently.
Her body convulses and a large arm and a body form around her. I finally see her titan.
She was terrifying. Her body was all made out off visible muscle, it seemed to shine in the sunlight. Was the muscle protected by something? She had sharp teeth, looking like a bunch of swords. Her eyes were black. She looked as if the devil himself was her titan. She was taller than my titan form which I heard was pretty big.
Short blonde hair whips around as she stomps the titian to death. I grimace, blood flies everywhere. It was truly a sight to see.
"She's controlling what she's doing." Bagil whispers to me. Her titan form was so violent. I couldn't believe was I was seeing, Cronin did seem a little edgy sometimes.
Cronin's titan stands up straight and she lets out a roar that nearly makes my ears bleed. Everyone covers their ears.
Then silence. I look at Cronin. Her titan form was starting to dissolve around her. The titan falls to its knees and then to the ground. Steam rises all around the titans body. No one moved to do anything.
"Shouldn't we go help her?" I say. I really didn't think we could survive without Cronin. Ren shakes his head and points. I follow his finger.
I see Cronin emerging from the titan, she almost had a skip in her step. Nothing seemed to have changed while she was in her titan. Her horse walks forward and rubs its face on her neck. She smiles and pets her white mare.
She hops on the back of it and trots over to us. Everyone, meaning Mikasa and me, stared at her with amazement. Well Mikasa looked kind of bored.
"Common, we gotta go." Cronin says and starts to run in the direction of the giant forest. We all follow.
"Don't get close to that woman." Mikasa says, looking dead ahead. I arch an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"She's not good, I can feel it." Mikasa ends the conversation but pulling ahead of me. I mimic her and stick my tongue out at her back.
Cronin didn't seem bad. Right?
