The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 1

3 Days Before The Warriors Leave:

Danielle's PoV

I Let Out A Groan As I Land On My Back and I Say, "Annie? The Hell Was That For?!" The Younger Girl Smirks and Says, "Were You Not Ready?" I Send Her A Look and I Say, "Just Help Me Up Would You?" Annie Chuckles and Pulls Me Up. I Stretch, and I Say, "Its Crazy To Think We Have Just Three Days Left" Annie Sighs and Says, "At Least You Will Be Away From Your Fool Of A Father" I Nod and Say, "Yeah. If We Even Get Picked That Is" I Look At The Trees That Surround Us and Annie Says, "We Better Head Back. It Will Be Dark Soon" I Pout and Say, "C'mon! We Leave In Three Days. Why Don't We Just Say Fuck The Rules?!" Annie Looks At Me and Says, "You Know We Can't. As Warrior Candidates We Have To Be Back By Nightfall." She Turns Around To Walk Off When I Pounce On Her and Pin Her Down.

I Smirk and Say, "C'mon Leonhardt. What's Life Without A Little Risk? Just Live A Little" Annie Glares Up At Me and Says, "Get Off Of Me Danielle." I Shake My Head With A Grin On My Face and I Say, "No. Not Until You Agree and Stay With Me For Another Hour At Least" She Is About To Reply When I Hear, "REDWOLF! LEONHARDT! GET UP THIS INSTANT!" I Pull Annie Up With Me and I Look Up and I See Commander Magath. I Gulp, and He Says, "Back To Base. NOW!" We Both Nod and Say, "Yes Sir!" I Grab Annie's Hand and Take Off Sprinting Towards Base.

When We Make It To Our Dorm, We Walk Inside and I Close The Door. I Rest My Arm On The Wall and Annie Says, "You Got Us In Trouble. AGAIN!" I Smirk, and I Say, "It's Not Like They Can Take The Powers Away From Us. Calm Down Blondie" Annie Shoves Me and Growls, "That's Not The Point!" I Groan As My Shoulder Makes Contact With The Wall and I Say, "You Are A Violent Child" Annie Punches Me In The Arm and I Hear A Knock On The Door. I Gulp and Annie Says, "Your Dealing With This" I Open The Door and I See Commander Magath.

I Gulp and Say, "S-Sir?" He Looks Down At Me and Says, "Can I Come In?" I Nod and I Let Him In. I Sit On The Desk In The Corner and Commander Magath Sits On My Bed. I Play With The Bottom Of My Shirt and Commander Magath Says, "Now There Will Be No Punishment For Defying Orders But I Want To Know Why You Defied My Orders?" I Sigh and Say, "It Was My Fault Sir....I Wanted To Spend Time With Annie Because Our Training Schedules Are Different and She's Always Asleep When I Get Back From Training." Commander Magath Nods and Says, "You Are In The Extra Advanced Class With Zeke and Pieck Aren't You?" I Nod and Say, "Yes Sir" He Nods and Annie Says, "and I'm In The Advanced Class With Reiner, Marcel, Bertholdt and Porco"

Magath Nods and Says, "Alright. Well I Suggest Getting Ready. The Choosing Ceremony Is In An Hour." I Raise A Brow and Say, "But Sir....I Thought That Was The Day Before The Warriors Leave?" Magath Looks At Me and Says, "The Date Has Been Changed To Today. The Warriors Leave On The Same Day But The Warriors Need To Deal With An Enemy Nation" I Nod and He Walks To The Door and Says, "Tardiness Will Not Be Accepted." We Both Nod At This and He Walks Out.

I Stand Up and Pace The Room Worriedly and Annie Says, "Danielle Calm Down" I Shake My Head and I Say, "I Can't. What If Your Chosen and I'm Not? Or The Other Way Around?! Either Way I Can't Control My Abilities Without You!" Annie Rests Her Hands On My Shoulder and Says, "Oi Idiot! I'm Not Going Anywhere Without You So Stop Worrying" I Look Down At The Floor and Annie Says, "You'll Be Fine. Your Top Of The Board For Marley's Sake! They Would Be Stupid Not To Pick You" I Nod and Say, "Yeah" Annie Wipes Away The Sweat On My Brow and Says, "Now Go and Make Yourself Look Presentable and Try Not To Worry Too Much" I Nod and I Walk Into The Bathroom To Take A Shower.

An Hour Later

I Stand Next To Annie and I Let Out A Shaky Breath and I Hear, "Hey...Look At Me" I Turn My Head and Annie Says, "We've Got This. You've Got This" I Smile and I Mutter, "The Award For The Most Motivational Person Goes To Annie Leonhardt." Annie Punches Me and Says, "Shut Up Doofus" I Chuckle and Commander Magath Walks Onto The Stage and Says, "Welcome Everyone To The Warrior Choosing Ceremony!" The Crowd Cheers and I Hear, "You're Not Going To Get It Redwolf. Just You Watch" I Look At Elizabeth and Annie Growls, "You Wish. Danielle Is Top Of The Board Unlike You." I Nudge Her and I Say, "Leave It Annie"

Commander Magath Looks At Us and Says, "You Warrior Candidates Have Worked Hard For Years. Now It Is Time For Seven Of You To Be Rewarded With Powers That Will Make The Devils Tremble In Fear." He Pulls Out A Remote and Says, "The Most Powerful Of The Eight, The Beast Titan Goes To Our Own Boy Wonder, Zeke Yeager" Zeke Smirks and Walks Up To Commander Magath Who Pushes A Needle Into His Back.

Zeke Stands Proud In Front Of A Hologram Of His 17 Meter Titan and A Hunger For Power Ignites In My Veins. Annie Looks At Me and Says, "Calm Down. You Will Get It" I Nod and Magath Says, "Marley's Shield, The Armoured Titan Goes To Reiner Braun" Reiner Grins Like A Mad Man As He Walks Up and Stands In Front Of A Hologram Of His 15 Meter Titan and I See Porco's Face Drop. I Reach Over and I Rub His Shoulder Comfortingly.

He Looks Down As Tears Build In His Eyes and I Hear, "Our Very Own Bullet Without A Gun, The Jaw Titan Goes To Marcel Galliard" Marcel Walks Up With A Smirk On His Face and He Stands In Front Of The Hologram Of His 5 Meter Jaw Titan. I Gulp As The Female Titan Hologram Shows Up and Magath Says, "Our Destructive Force, The Female Titan Goes To Annie Leonhardt" Annie Sends Me A Grin and I Say, "Go On Girl!" She Walks Up and Stands In Front Of The 14 Meter Titan Hologram.

I Get More Anxious As The Cart Titan Hologram Shows Up and I Hear, "Our Very Own Walking Bunker, The Cart Titan Goes To Pieck" I Grin At Pieck and She Walks Up and Stands In Front Of The Hologram. The Armoured Wolf Titan Shows Up Next and Magath Says, "The Leader Of The Warrior Group, The Wolf Titan Goes To Danielle Redwolf" I Grin Smirk and I Walk Up and Stand In Front Of The Hologram Of My 18 Meter Titan. Pieck Pats Me On The Back and Says, "Nice One Danielle" I Smile and Say, "Thanks" The Colossal Titan Hologram Appears Next To Me and Magath Says, "And Finally, Our God Of Destruction, The Colossal Titan Goes To Bertholdt Hoover" Bertholdt Walks Up and He Stands Next To Me and Magath Says, "These Are Your 8 Warriors!" Everyone Cheers and We Get Taken Into The Base To Get Ready For The Parade.
