An Ocean Turned Crimson (A Shingeki No Kyojin Fanfic)

Four: HOLY SHIT! YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

"If you'll follow me." 'hot corporal' says. We nod, grabbing our belongings and exiting the chopper. He looks royally pissed since he's still scowling. The townsfolk part like the red sea as he leads us toward the centre.

Alucard is at my heels as I walk beside Ty'.

Little Island... it feels like such a serene place. The feeling of community is overwhelming. In my town the people kept their business to themselves and rumour spreading was a norm. It doesn't look at all like that here.

The buildings that loom above us seem to house countless people, balconies appear to be on every few floors. Little Island seems to be surprisingly well populated. Each street is like a cobblestone back alley. Washing lines cross the street horizontally and make the place feel even more homely.

I stare up at the lemon coloured house I am passing. The green shutters on the windows are open and there are flowers everywhere. An elderly lady is out on one of the rose covered balconies, sat on a rocking chair. She smiles warmly at us, waving.

Ty' and I wave back at her. She beams.

"Tch, hurry up." 'hot corporal' commands.

"Sorry." Ty' chirps, grabbing my arm, dragging me closer to the others.

"Wow!" Tom and Harry muse in one voice as Brad whistles in his annoying way of portraying his own awe.

"Look at the statue!" Zada exclaims.

"That looks so much like Commander Handsome that it's unreal." Ty' gasps.

"Are you talking about Commander Erwin Ty'?" Brad scoffs.

"Yeah duh." the redhead rolls her eyes.

"He's got the eyebrows too!" Tom notes.

"That statue looks like a liveaction Erwin Smith." I chime in.

"I have no idea who you're talking about but that statue sure is attractive." Carley states.

"Carley just... no. Be quiet. Don't know, don't talk." Brad hisses. The pinkette's lip quivvers as she pouts, obviously hurt by Brad telling her to be quiet.

"I haven't got all day." we are chided.

"Sorry." Carley says.

"We're almost there now." we are informed.

"Almost where?" Tom whispers to Harry.

"I don't have a clue, hey Annie do you know what that guy's talking about?" Harry asks.

"Maybe our accomodation?" I shrug.

We continue through the narrow yet homely streets of Little Island in silence, taking in the whole place as if it is not real.

"Through there." 'hot corporal' points to a dirty grey brown brick clock tower. There is an archway that goes through the tower.

Alexis leads us since she seems eager to be free of our company. To be honest we aggrivate her so I'm not surprised she wants to get away from us. I crack as smile, following the violet haired girl through the arch alongside my friends.

"Okay!" a woman with long thick healthy and shiny golden hair adresses us. "Hello people my name is Florence and it's so great to meet you. You guys are from England right? I wonder what England's like. I've read about that rainy country a lot, in the same old books." she enthuses waving happily.

"Bet she'll be a bitch." Carley mutters.

"AND JUST SO YOU NEWBIES KNOW I am the most knowledable as far as liguistics are concerned so don't even try to slag me off in German, Italian, Swhali or Vietnamise or any of the other languages on this earth. I know all the insults." her gunmetal blue eyes scan each of us as she grins like a phycopath. Did she hear Carley? She must have.
