Eren's POV:

My name is Eren Jeager. I was born in the family of the most renowned hunters. Grisha, my dad, trained me to be the most excellent predator who could hunt even the most fastest prey there is. He want me to success him one day. All the acquired strength, skills, and experience are useful but I couldn't help but think how pitiful my prey are. While Carla was just a supportive mother, she is.

Yes I look strong on the outside, however, I'm weak on the inside. Every time I kill it just feels so wrong. But what can I do? I need to prove myself. To prove I can be worthy of my father's respect. So I can meet his expectations. I, may acquired all the fame, glory, and strenght but I still feel empty.

I wish something change this boring life of mine. I don't want to hurt the poor animals. I want to take care of them.

"Hoy.. Eren..are you still with us? Eren..Eren... Eren to earth hello?" Mikasa wave her hand in my face.

I was pulled out in my deep thoughts. "Huh..uh.. What were you saying?" I asked, dumbfounded. She sighed softly.

"Eren are you okay? You seem a little bit off today? Are you sure you want to go in this expedition?" she uttered with concern. Her ebony orbs gazes at me expectantly. "I'm fine Mikasa..dont worry. I'm going with you." I said hesitantly. We were outside the headquarters discussing another expedition. Together with Connie(the bald short boy), Sasha(the girl eating potato), Ymir(the tall brunette), Crista(the blonde shorty), Marco(Mr.Freckles), Jean(Horseface and shithead), Armin(my blonde best friend) and Mikasa(my adopted sister).

I just wanted to come along. To keep my name in good terms. This life sucks. If my father was still alive, he would condone me to do things not to my liking. Just to keep at the top of all. My parents died in a trip, when they have gone hunting to Trost district. May my parents rest in peace.

I don't want to talk about their deaths nor do I want to look weak in the prying eyes of judgemental people. That's why this legacy was passed onto me with force. I wanted to walk my own path. But how? I don't want things to force unto me. But in these matters, it's inevitable.

"You know it's the only thing I could do for my parents." I told her melancholic. Her soft gaze turned into pity. The looks I don't want people to give me. "Stop it Mika...It has nothing to do with them. It's my own volition not theirs." I scowled.

She step backwards. Jean suddenly interrupted by bringing himself in the middle. "Hey Jeager...she's just worried about you. Don't be a dickhead." he glower towards me.

"Well horseface this has nothing to do with you. So back off..." I snickered.

Armin came in between us trying to hold us back. "Uhm..guys let's get over with this. Without hurting ourselves before hand." he chuckled nervously.

"I'm okay Jean. You don't have to always barge in." Mikasa growl.

"I'm going to pack my things and I'm coming. Let's rendezvous here at 15'00. Please Mikasa don't overreact about little things. I'm fine and there's nothing to worry about." I said nonchalantly. I know my parents just died three months ago and they are all like 'too caring'. As if I can't move on. I won't mope all day of my life.

I leave as soon as I told them where we will meet. This will be a tiring day. They would be upset of my rude attitude awhile ago. I have to apologise later.

I head straight to our house. I leave the mansion to Mikasa's care and owned an apartment instead. Although she wanted me to stay there, I just wanted to have some quality time of my own. Away from all the things that forces me to be the person I am today.

Today I'm going to use my dad's rifle. I've taken accustomed to this one. It's like my memento of my dad. Then I take my bag and pack things for about five days of stay.

We will be going to Ashton forest near Trost district, where my parents died. They say a mystical creature lives there. Maybe it's the one who killed them. They died in a peculiar way so I can't blame myself if I suspect anyone for their killing. Well I don't want to talk about that.

I went upstairs to pack my foods. Granola bars, canned foods, and easy to eat foods. I got a one liter of bottled water. I also packed my brush and toothpaste.

I decided I'll take my motor with me. I don't want to hook on Jean's car. It's only a couple of minutes away before we meet again, so I checked the whole house before locking it. Making sure I prepared everything and not forgotten about the wires.

I head back outside and put my leather jacket on. Putting my rifle in my front, after checking the safety lock. I wouldn't want to be careless. I put my helmet on and start the engine. I ride on......

Mikasa's POV:

I was saved by Jean. Eren must be upset, but for what? They are now intensely staring into each other as they talked mean things to each other.

They were stopped by Armin. Bringing himself into the middle and extending his arms. Just to keep those two apart. I interrupted them.

"I'm okay Jean. You don't have to always barge in." I growled towards Jean.

I was cutoff by Eren. "I'm going to pack my things and I'm coming. Let's rendezvous here at 15'00. Please Mikasa don't overreact about little things. I'm fine and there's nothing to worry about." he said. Then he turned his back away from us.

"What is Jeager's problem? Acting high and all mighty just like his daddy. Damn!! " Ymir scoffed.

"Ymir, you don't have to talk like that to him. His the new leader now. I'm sure his just tired and sad. Let's just let him do what he wants." Krista whines.

"Your being too soft again. Are you an angel huh?" Ymir said mockingly.

"Ow cmon guys...lets get over with it. Let's go pack now. We need to be here by 3:00 pm right. Well we only have half an hour now." said Sasha who stuffed her mouth with baked potatoes.

Armin went towards me. "It's alright Mikasa. You know Eren doesn't mean what he says. I'm sure he's just tired." Armin reassured me as he slightly tapped my shoulder.

"I hope so Armin....I'm just worried and all. After what happened to his parents.. I mean our parents...he began to change somehow." I stuttered. "........gradually as if he was fading away."

I'm just anxious for him. I wanted him to smile again like he always does when we were kids.

Oh how I hope to see it again. Eren's beautiful smiles and laughter.
