A Light To Call Home 《Attack On Titan》[Completed]

Prologue

No light, no way out, no point to live. That's the underground for you, but I can never toss my life away so easily when it's this fun. Sure life is a shit hole here but I can still make it fun.

I jumped from roof to roof, side to side while even flying in the air for a bit. I was using 3Dmg I stole to steal even more things to survive. I was one of the best- wait that's not other people would call me. I'm the worst person in the underground, to them at least and by them, I mean the merchants. I did help some of the less fortunate people down here.

I had lots of stolen goods in my arms and bags as I fly back to a small to a medium house. Once I got inside I saw all the small children I care for, "I'm back with food guys" I said to the children before they started surrounding me. There are around 15 children around me ranging from the ages 3 to 12. I am only 16 myself but that won't stop me. I gave them all some food and water before putting the rest away, most of their parents are dead or can't look after them, so I've been trusted with them or they have been left with me. "Now, come here everyone! It's time for a bath." I yelled to all the children in the medium size house, they all came running. Some faster than others because of them being older. "Some can go in the bath now, the older ones can wait to go in the bath with the youngest, ok Everyone?" "Hai!" They yelled, there were only two to three who couldn't speak that well or were just quiet. I had one child who didn't speak like I just said, they were quiet. He was two years younger than me and the only one who was above the age of 12. "Come on, you can have a separate bath from them again if you like." He nodded, "Ok, I'll get you when it's ready." He always had an emotionless face on.

I spent most of my time caring for these kids, raising them and treating them like they were mine. I taught them how to read and write since most of us in the underground couldn't. I was going to teach the boy how to do self-defence soon too, he'll need it. After I helped bathe all the children, I call him into the bathroom. His name, I'm not sure. He hasn't told me or said a word since this uncle dropped him off, his uncle also just happened to be the number one killer in the underground, just above me. I got him undressed and he hopped into the bath, it may seem weird that I'm giving a 14-year-old a bath but he won't bathe without someone with him.

His uncle told me about him, his mother died around a month or two ago and he took him in. His mother was always by his side, no matter what, he said I looked like her too. I had long flowing black hair and gentle black eyes that could soften any heart. At least that's what I'm told.

Every time I give him a bath, I can't get over the scars on his body. It almost makes me cry that he had to go through whatever he did. I had my fair amount of scars too though. I scrubbed his back and put soap in his hair before washing it out.

I had finally finished helping him and he was now dressed and ready to have supper with the rest of the kids. I made some soup and cut some bread into thin slices, I gave all the kids their food and they begin to eat, I would help them with whatever they needed help with though. Once they were done, I sent them off to bed and read or sang for the younger ones or the ones who just couldn't sleep. Once that was over and done with, I went to the kitchen and had some of my own soup and bread. Not always the best thing to eat All the time since we didn't have meat but it was better than most food here. I had finished and was sitting on the couch when the boy came in. I forgot to mention that he was put in my care a little less than a week ago. "Hey, is something wrong?" I asked him, he slowly nodded and walked into the lounge room and sat down on the couch. "Can you tell me whats wrong? I know you probably don't like speaking but it may help you feel better." "Ok," His voice cracked a bit from not talking in a while. "Tell me whats bothering you." While I was surprised he talked, I had to keep calm and listen to this quiet boy. "It's my Mum." I felt bad for asking straight away. I knew he would tell me more so I didn't say anything, "I miss her, she is dead and I can't see her again but I still miss her." All I could do was hug him and talk. "We all miss someone, some more than others but we can't live in the past forever. I'm not saying that you can't be sad but you will feel better one day, whether it's sooner or later." I could hear him sniff, he was crying. "It's alright to cry you know." With that the sniffs became into quiet sobs, quiet sobs became louder. He opened up to me, I'm glad.

Once he had calmed down he pulled away, "Thank you." He said shyly. "No problem, you deserve to let it out, not keep it in." "Levi." "Huh?" "My name, it's Levi." He stated this was the first time I was told his name. "Nice to know, Levi is a wonderful name." I smiled kindly at him, he was a sweet innocent boy who needed someone to listen to him.

*Years later*

It's been years since he had opened up to me and told me his name, we cared for the kids I took in together now, they would usually leave at the age 16 though. Most of the kids I had four years ago have left, either alone or with someone else. Levi was 18 now but still insisted on staying, so I let him stay. He would help me on missions to steal food and I even taught him self-defence and how to use 3Dmg. We got two other people helping us too, Farlan (I don't remember how to spell his name and I can't search it up because I don't have INTERNET!!!!!) Who is 18, like Levi and Isabell, who is 17. Life was pretty much Perfect apart from the obvious, we are stuck underground and stealing stuff to survive.

But the peace was ended by the survey corps.

Done with my first chapter for this book, how is it? If there are spelling mistakes I will edit them some other time since it's school holidays. I HAVE SCHOOL TOO YOU KNOW. I've only just started before school holidays but! But..... Nevermind, I have no point. 😂
