Lost at Last (Eren Jaeger)

You're too loud!

"You're too slow! Run you laggards!"

Thea had grown exhausted as she and the rest of the 104th trainees ran for miles through the forest. Occasionally tripping over tree roots and the splashing of mud onto her clothes made Thea cringe of cleaning duty later afterwards. Shadis, or as she and her small group of friends now liked to call him, Hades leading them with his horse.

Throughout the months, Thea had successfully made a close-nit group of friends. This small group being Mina, Connie, Jean, Sasha and Marco. Although Connie and Sasha were against her because of Eren a couple months ago, a quick explanation of events made it clear to them that she was in no way the bad guy. Eren was just being toxic.

Thea had noticed she had begun to fall a bit behind and quickly began to pick up the pace once more. Regaining her spot at the front where people such as Annie were, Mikasa could easily be up there also since her entire childhood had been spent running behind Eren. But, unfortunately, she lagged behind alongside Eren.

"Hey Thea! seems like you're lagging behind again!" Thea moved her attention to beside her, where Mina now ran, "You're now next to me. Never a good sign."

Thea decided to remain running next to Mina, because a bit of company is better than none.

"What's wrong Arlert?" Shadis vocalized to Armin, who was at the very end, and already seemed as if he was running on empty. "You're falling behind."

Before Shadis could continue to humiliate the poor boy, Thea disassociated from it and popped up her own conversation with Mina. "What lovely weather am I right?" Thea's sarcasm was detected by Mina as they both ran through the pouring rain, their boots splashing them with mud and dirt water.

"Yeah! amazing weather to go running in." The sarcasm dripped from Minas lips like a thick honey, and sometimes Thea couldn't help herself from staring at them. Minas voice resonated the blondes mind as the both of them ran through the pouring rain, and although the circumstances made it almost impossible to understand anything the girl was saying, Thea still made a way. "When do you think we'll be done? I'm hungry!"

Next exercise was defeating titan dummies. A task that seemed to go like a breeze for Thea as she glides through the air, landing on tree branches and launching herself towards the dummies napes. Her sword smoothly cutting the perfect amount of depth into the nape.

At times, Thea would see Mina aiming for a dummy that was originally her target. But, for some reason Thea always let Mina get the point.

Now, the opposite went for everybody else... especially Eren. At the first sight of seeing someone, Thea would use an extraordinarily amount of gas to reach the dummy before them. She's stolen points so far from: Annie, Bertholdt, Connie, Marco, and Eren.

Seeing Thea steal his point made Eren furious, that now the exercise shifted from getting training to making sure Thea didn't pass. But, Eren was just too slow compared to Thea.

It seemed that Shadis, or Hades, was taking note of all the trainees, because from above them, he was sneakily writing on a notebook.

'Thea Schneider, strong. An incredible amount of speed, superior physical and mental agility but often minimizes skill to accommodate to others."

Combat training was the toughest for Thea. She was paired up against the last person she wanted to spar with. As Thea stood in a battle stance with a wooden knife, Mina, stood across from her. Mina attempted to replicate her stance but it was wobbly, making her unstable and making several openings. Mina has left a big opening on her right shoulder, so naturally Thea launched towards it. Grabbing her shoulder and forcing her against the ground, placing the wooden knife on her throat. "I'm sorry." The blonde uttered to her friend, it was until that moment Thea had noticed the position they were in, with her on top of her beloved friend that caused the blonde to become flustered and to hurriedly get up. "It's your turn to be the bandit." She coldly started, throwing the wooden knife next to where Mina laid as she quickly faced away and put distance between the two. Her face now red, Thea attempted to find a way to bring it back to its normal tone.
