It was just the usual day of training for Eren Yeager. There were the random gusts of wind whipping through his hair. The sounds of the other recruits having their own random conversations to the side. Lastly, the sound of him getting his ass handed to him by Annie Leonhardt. Day after day the same thing happened. He would get up, get dressed, and go to get his ass kicked. He was used to this routine engagement by now. Little did Eren know that he had an admirer. One much quieter and more discrete  than Mikasa. She would always watch Eren with a yearning to be with him. She waits quietly in the shadows just hoping that one day she'll have the chance to talk to him. He walked out of the men's barracks, and found one of his friends to talk to while he waited for Annie.

"Hey Reiner, what brings you out here?" Asked Eren

Reiner sat back against a fence post and laughed at Eren's question.

"I'm just waiting on the show to start. I've come to enjoy seeing you get friendly with the dirt." said Reiner

Eren laughed off Reiner's comment, and noticed that Annie was already waiting to begin. They didn't exchange words, and entered into their fighting stance. Eren played it safe this round. He didn't go sprinting into the fight as usual. Instead he decided to hang back and let Annie make the first move. She lunged toward Eren with her fist raised to him. Eren slips to her left, and grabs hold of her arm. He then pulled her arm back behind him, and cracked Annie across her shinbone. She crumbled to the ground in pain. For once, Eren had won a round. Annie got back up and wiped blood off her face.

"That won't work for you a second time asshole." said Annie

She sprinted for Eren. This attack wasn't for training purposes. Annie was intent on dealing as much damage as she possibly could. Eren tried to brace himself, but it was of no use. She swept his feet out from under him, and then kicked the center of his back to send him flying higher in the air. On Eren's way down she kicked him twice in the temple before he hit the ground face first. The crowd let out a huge gasp as Eren groaned from the hits, and trembled from the pain. His head was bleeding, and Mikasa was trying to get to him. By the time she managed to break through the crowd, Eren was standing on his own.

"I'm alright everyone. I promise it's just a cut." He said

Eren walked away from the training grounds, and not a single soul tried to stop him. Eren managed to make it to a very secluded area of the boot camp when his head began to throb with a vengeance. His vision became blurry, and he found it to be almost impossible to walk. He stumbled, and eventually fell and hit his head once more. He managed to crawl for several more minutes, then he blacked out. For the next three hours, Eren lay there unconscious and bleeding until someone finally came out of her shell, and carried him away.

(This is the Prologue BTW)
