Attack On Titan - Fiction

Chapter 1.8

After getting some food the guys who had kidnapped me got a pretty big lecture. Eren took me to the chief's office. I walked in alone. "Eren told me you got your memories back." He said. I nodded. "Yes." I looked at him. "Would you like to come back?" He stood up. "You'd have to start square one, but we could manage to get you into the right group." He sat on the desk and cleared his throat. "Yes, i'd love to join back in." A small smile escaped my lips. He looked at me and nodded. "I'll get you a uniform. Why don't you go to a cabin where there is a free bed." He said. I nodded and walked out. Eren looked at me. "I need to find a free bunk." I said. He looked at me. "That could be hard. The only free spot I know about is next to me." He said. I nodded slowly. "A girl in the boy's cabin..." I followed him over. He opened the door and everyone looked at me. Eren dragged me to his bed and lied me down. I looked at him. "I'll cover you while you undress." He whispered. I nodded and turned around. The general came in and gave me clothes. When he left I started undressing. Eren heldt the covers infront of me. I changed quickly and looked at him. He looked at me. "Go to bed!" A guard yelled. I lied down and curled up under the covers. Eren wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer to himself.

Two years passed. I trained as hard as possible, and managed to graduate with Eren, Armin and Mikasa. Mikasa was at the top of our class, I came to a close second. Five years had passed since I lost my village. And now I was ready to defend it. The mark Mikasa had noticed was never discovered by anyone. As the years had passed it had somehow moved and was now on my back. It was the evening after graduation, and everyone was celebrating. I stood leaned against the wall when my back started itching. Slowly I scratched my back against the wall. It got worse and worse, untill it started to burn. I dropped my cup and tried not to scream. A few people turned around. I covered my mouth and fell to my knees. "Linda?" Mikasa looked at me. I heldt my mouth harder. "Linda!" More people turned around. I sat on my knees and screamed. "Look!" Someone pointed at my back. I fell forward. The pain stopped. "Blood." I looked at the floor and stared at my right wrist. One of the adults came over.

I was carried to a secluded room and the general walked inside. "Open her shirt." He said. Mikasa managed to get me into a seated position. I slowly dragged off my sweater and stared at Eren. He heldt my hands. "Didn't you have this on your wrist a few years back?" Mikasa asked. I nodded. "Well, now it's burned into her back." Eren touched my skin. A small shiver went down my spine. Nothing more had happened after that kiss. Well, not unless you count falling asleep in his arms as something. "It looks like wings." He said. I stared into the wall. "Lin, remember. The day before you turn 16 the protection will burn itself on your back. It's like fiery angel wings. When it's permanent on your body, no Titan will be able to detect you. But since it's on your arm, there is a small chance." I felt tears run down my cheeks. "I'm doing this because I love you." I stared at my arm. "Linda?" Misaka looked at me. "Could I possibly get a new shirt, or something to cover myself with." I looked down. "I'll go get something." The general walked down the hallway. "The day you turn 16, i'll show you what's in my basement." I looked up. "The basement." I whispered. Mikasa looked at me. "I have to get back to my village." I jumped on the floor. The general handed me a shirt. I put it on and looked at them. "But.." Mikasa looked at me. I looked at Eren. "We'll help her." He said. I stared at him.

The next morning we got dressedin our uniforms and went to the graduation. Underneath I had something moresimple, at least under the shirt. It was just plain white pants, a brownjacket, black boots and a plain white t-shirt. The ceremony went on, but all Icould think about was getting out. Afterwards we were about to leave whensomeone stopped us. "Where do you think you're going." I looked up. "We havetitans to fight." He said. I nodded and got back to my group. It was adifferent one than Mikasa and Eren. Armin and Eren was in the same. "Mikasa,you're on the ground." Someone said. I turned around. "So are you, Linda." Istared at them. "We need someone to evacuate the people." Mikasa looked at me."There goes that plan." I looked at Eren. He looked at me before he left. Istared after him. This could be the last time I saw him alive.
