*1 Year before the fall*
Tina's POV
I grunted as the old hag who is my 'guardian' slaps me in the face. My face snaps rightwards nearly snapping it off, I faced the old hag and glared at her. She glared back and grabbed my collar, "Why don't you ever listened to me you little midget?" She whispers menicingly in my face. This old hag adopted me when I was only a baby, long before I've had my first memory. Before I was told by a previous woman that I was sent here by the military police. But I've never put much of a thought on it. Perhaps they just found me on the streets and just randomly chucked me with this old hag.
I scrunched up my face due to her incredibly rotten potato breath. I looked towards the dishes that I was in charged of, it was all untouched because I was too busy breaking up fights between the brats that were younger than me (I'm 8 years old).
The hag let go off me and stormed away leaving an annoyed child's glare burning a hole through her back. I cursed softly and started to do the dishes. Why must I be placed in this dreadful place? I thought to myself. What did I do to deserve this condition? For I don't even know who I really am or my parents' life before they had me. I sighed to myself and started to finish the dishes more efficiently.
After I had finished the sky was already starting to tint pink. I have finished all of my jobs so now I can go out and about, but I never hang out with anyone, because all they do is bully me or ignore me. I put on my grey cloak and sketch book with a pencil and rubber and started to head out.
I found the rock I always sat on, it had a direct view of the river. This time I was determined to finish drawing it (the river). I started to sketch the ripples the water made and added a lily pad here and there when I overheard someone's conversation next to me. I decided to listen for a while.
"Guys! I read this book that describes all about the ocean!" I started to here a very feminine male voice whisper shouted excitingly. "I saw that it is large bodies of salt that are bigger than all the rivers we have combined! Let's go see it when we go over the wall!"
WOAH. Outside the wall. I stopped sketching and looked at them, there were 3 children that were perhaps about my age, perhaps older. One with a bowl cutted blonde hair that reminded me greatly of a coconut, a girl wearing a dark red scarf with black hair reaching down to her chest, she had an emotionless face and lastly a boy with brown hair and the most beutoful eyes I've ever seen, they were sea green that were tinted with light blue.
He must've noticed my presence as he looked my way. We made eye contact for a split second before I dashed off back to the orphanage. I ran behind a house and looked back at him, he was still looking towards me but not at me. Looks like I've caught his interest. I started to walk normally back to the orphanage.
When I arrived back at the orphanage I avoided the hag by manoeuvring around the corner when she had her back turned against me. I headed up towards my bunker which needs serious cleaning. Yes I have a horrible OCD disorder thing that makes me detest dirty things. I was about to prepare for sleep just when this OCD decides to kick in and forced onto my feet off of my ass and grabbed the cleaning supplies and cleaned everything. Quite literally even the roof. I was done in about an hour when exhaustion kicks in and I collapse onto my stiff bed.
*1 Year later*
I was walking down the streets doing the hag a favour by buying groceries, I much preferred cleaning but it's still better than hanging out with brats that whine constantly. I hummed to myself softly as I checked the list of groceries.
"2 cabbages check, 3L bottle of milk check, 200g of butter check, 1 bag of sugar check, 1 bag of apples and lemons checked." I mutter to myself. Well, I am all done with this job.
I made it back to the orphanage and gave the hag her groceries. She took them without uttering a 'thank you'. I 'tched' and walked away minding my own business. What she didn't know was that I stole an apple and wiped it with a napkin I always take with me and took a bite out of it. Delicious things, apples are the best.
I finished the apple just when a loud "BANG!!" Sounded outside. I walked out side to see what was going on, all of the people were staring horrified at the walls. I turned and knew why they were staring now.
A titan hand was to be seen on the wall.
I stood there, paralysed. I kept calm as best as I could, I started to back out of the orphange building and away from the wall. I bumped into someone's chest, I turned to look who it was and found the same person I saw exactly 1 year ago, the boy with the beautiful eyes. He didn't bother to look back at me as he was too focused staring at the hand. I looked at the hand, it crumbled the wall bit by bit. There was a deadly slience.
Then there was was a giant hole in the wall. The force impact of the titan's foot and wall was so big it created a typhoon like wind that blew people off of their feet and into the air (weeee). I wasn't dying here. I turned and started to run away when I heard the boy I bumped into shout desperately at the red scarfed girl about their mother being in the house. So they're siblings. I thought to myself. I decided to follow them.
I followed them to a crushed house with a woman stuck in between the rubble. I see the two kids try desperately to pull their mother out. Turns out the red scarfed girl saw me and begged with her eyes to come help them. I ran over to help them, but it is absolutely no use anymore. She was really stuck. I noticed a Titan heading towards our way, I tapped both their shoulders and nodded my head towards the titan to warn them. The boy's eyes widened to an extent I was suprised it didn't pop out of its socket.
Suddenly there was was a soldier with blonde hair come flying towards us. "HANNES! TAKE THE KIDS AND LEAVE!" The mother shouted at the man.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WE ARE NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF THIS MESS!" The boy shouted at his mother.
"MY LEGS ARE CRUSHED BY THE RUBBLE, I CAN'T RUN EVEN IF YOU GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Ther mother screamed back.
I stopped helping and looked at the man, wondering what he would do. He decided to take the titan by himself, but stopped halfway. He was scared of the titan!
"What are you doing? If you're not going to fight the titan then come get the kids out of here!" I shouted at the man. He turned back and gave me a pained look. I stared back at him emotionlessly. He ran over and carried the red scarfed girl on his shoulder and the boy on his waist by his arms.
"I'm sorry Eren." The man whispered. So the boy's name is Eren.
"Thank you, Hannes..." The mother whispered with tears coming out of her eyes. There was no time. The man ran and told me to come with him, I followed right behind him and looked back, the titan picked up the mother, but I noticed the mother's legs, they were struggling. So she lied to her children to save them. That..... Is quite touching. I gave her a final sad look and ran away with 'Hannes'.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Eren cried out. The red scarfed girl just turned away and cried. There was a shriek of pain before I felt the wetness of the mother's blood spattered on my back. It felt disgusting.
~Le time skip plz~
We arrived at a safe spot. Eren started to beat Hannes on the head.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE HER?! YOU COULD OF SAVED HER!!" He screamed furiously at the man. The man let out an annoyed shout as he threw Eren onto the ground. Hannes crouched down to head level to Eren.
"YOU THINK I DIDN'T WANT TO SAVE HER?!" Hannes shouted at Eren, who flinched at his tone of voice. The red scarfed girl was kneeling against Eren rubbing his back while I am standing not far behind Hannes crossing my arms.
"I... Was scared of the titan, what would you had done, a child like you could do nothing!" Hannes whispered despairingly. Eren couldn't speak anymore. He and the red scarfed girl turned to me, noticing me the first time we've got here. I stared back at them unwavering.
The red scarfed girl spoke first, "Thank you for your help... This is Eren Jaeger and I'm Mikasa Ackerman." She introduced herself. My eyes widen, she gave me a confused look. My eyes return back to normal.
"Nothing, the name's Tina Ackerman." Now it was her turn to be surprised. I shrugged. "Let's get onto the refuge ship." She nodded.
*On the ship* (Sorry, not bothered to write the scene before they got on the boat ;-;)
Eren, Mikasa and I are on the ship, we were looking around before we spotted the coconut haired boy.
"EREN! MIKASA!" He shouted. He ran towards Eren and Mikasa to see if they were ok. That clearly wasn't the case for Eren, as he was still paralysed of his mothers recent death. We all sat down against a wall except Eren. The coconut haired boy noticed my presence and introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Armin Arlert, nice to meet you." He gave me a bitter smile. I nodded.
"Tina. Tina Ackerman." His jaw dropped.
"A-Ackerman?" He asks disbelieved. I sighed. Seriously?
"Yes. And no I am not related to your friend over there. Pretty sure of it." I rolled my eyes. He blinked and muttered an "Oh." He turned to Eren who was leaning over the fence on the boat. He walked up to him and so did Mikasa, I stayed on the floor. He asked if Eren was alright.
"I'll kill them all..... ALL of them..." Eren muttered menicingly. I drifted my eyes to him, intrigued by his determination. Armin gave a horrified face, Mikasa was still the same and I was still staring at Eren.
He truly is something more.
*Time skip puhleash*
"Guys!" Armin shouted from the crowd. Apparently his grandfather got extra bread because he said he had kids. Armin gave us all a loaf and we thanked him. Whilst eating we heard 2 man from the military police complaining how they had to take care of all the useless people. Eren got angry (again) and started kicking the man.
"YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF US?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE WERE BACK THERE?!"  He shouted at the man, the man got annoyed and punched Eren down onto the ground with Armin rushing in between them to stop the fight.
"Sorry, he's just been through a lot. Please forgive him." He attempted to apologise for Eren. The man 'tched' and walked away. When the man walked away we went somewhere to calm Eren down. It wasn't working.
"I'm not going to be a coward and live under their conditions and under their service! I'M GOING TO GO BACK THERE AND RECLAIM OUT LAND!" He shouted at Armin and Mikasa. I stood behind him to avoid his annoying shoutings. Finally Mikasa snapped and punched Eren in the face and Eren fell to the floor. He looked baffled by his sister's action. Mikasa had a face that basically has the word danger written on it.
"What can we do? We all are cowards. There is nothing we can do right now. So eat the bread and live! That's the only reason why mother told us to leave." She growled and shoved the piece of bread into Eren's mouth. Eren closed his eyes defeatedly and accepted the bread. I sighed and lifted him up onto his feet by his armpit.
"I know you're angry and fustrated, we all are. But your mother told you to run for a reason. Like what Mikasa said, we all are cowards. But how much of a coward you are depends on your choices you make in the future." I told him. He looked at me and looked away nodding.
*Night time*
I couldn't sleep anymore so I just lay down staring at the ceiling. I noticed how Eren was sent back here by an angry looking man during the middle of the night. But I don't know where he went off to. I got up and sat near the doorway of the shed. I gazed up the stars. They are always shining brightly and happily no matter what happens down here. I wish I could be a star sometimes... I thought to myself. I sighed and leaned back towards the wall and attempted to drift off into a dreamless sleep. Minutes which felt like hours passed as I begin to feel darkness surround me and finally, before I knew it I was asleep.
A/N: Hello there. So, yeah. This is my first AOT/SNK fan fiction. So I am sorry if suck in anyway. All critical comments are welcome down below, but please don't be too harsh, it hurts. Anyways, somethings to clear up:
Tina is a year younger than Eren and the rest.
Let's just assume that Levi in this story is 34 years old, so he joined the scouts when he was (34-14) 20 years old.
She was dropped off to the orphanage by the MP when the Scouts took Levi and his gang to the surface.
Anymore questions ask me. Simple. :l
Alright see you guys next time. Peace.
