Chapter 3

Old Friends

It was time to departure, (Y/n) stood next to Caleb as they watched other kids her age get into the wagon that would take them to the Cadet Corps for training. 

"Stay safe and don't you dare pick any fights with the others," Caleb said playfully and patted her shoulder to reassure her everything will be fine, "And send letters to your poor, old brother."

"You're only twenty-five and I won't make any promises" (Y/n) replied and smiled at her older brother, "Well time to go, goodbye, and make sure to take care of (c/n)."

"Goodbye and I will," Caleb said as he theatrically cried making his sister stick out her tongue at him.

(Y/n) jumped into the wagon before it departed and made sure to keep her distance from the other cadets. She wore a black turtle neck, the usual bandage around her left hand, and high waisted light brown pants with black combat boots. As the wagon exited Wall Sina and headed towards the Cade Corps training grounds, she dozed off.

"For now we have to go into hiding which means we have to live like normal, pathetic humans" Miles stated, a cigarette hanging from his lips, "This includes no missions and no usage of powers, we don't know who our enemy is."

"Is there any update on Madame Ava and Fredrik?" I had asked wondering if there was any possibility of them being alive.

"No, hellfire can disintegrate bodies so we really don't know if they are dead or in hiding" Miles replied back with a sigh, "Just try to live your life, for now, kid."

"Excuse me miss, we're here" a soft voice mumbled as she shook the sleeping girl. Her eyes began to open and she noticed that she was the only one left on the wagon along with the girl that had woken her up from her dream.

"Oh thank you" (Y/n) mumbled and she tried to rub away the sleep from her eyes, but she still felt sleepy. She reached down to grab her bag, but the girl lifted the bag first. (Y/n) looked up in shock at the girl.

"Let me help you, you're still sleepy," the girl said, her shoulder-length blonde her falling into her pale face. (Y/n) noticed how her blue eyes would sparkle, "I'm Krista by the way, what's your name?"

"(Y/n), and you don't have to help me, I can take care of my own bag" the girl replied as she reached out to grab the bag, but the short girl pulled it back with a sweet smile. (Y/n) tried grabbing it once again, but the girl didn't let go. (Y/n) let out a sigh and finally smiled back, "Alright."

They both got off the wagon and walked towards the wooden barracks. Tomorrow was the day they would be initiated into the Cadet Corps so today was their time to set up where they'll sleep and set down their belongings. They both walked into one of the wooden cabins and Krista set down the bags on the ground.

"Do you want to share bunks?" Krista asked as she stared at the various bunks in the cabin.

"Sure, I'll get the bottom bunk. I have a habit of falling out of bed," (Y/n) replied with a smile, "It would be a disaster if I slept on the top."

"Then I'll take the top, looks like there are drawers underneath the bunk beds for us to put our belongings in" Krista pointed out as she kneeled down to take out her stuff from her bag. 

(Y/n) did the same as her newfound friend, putting away her clothes and toiletries. While she still unpacked, a hand grabbed onto her shoulder making the girl flinch in surprise and look back, her eyes scanning the face of a tall, freckled girl.

"The name is Ymir, what's yours?" the freckled girl said, her brown eyes gazing down at the girl. Before she could answer a soft meow was heard making the three of them move their heads down to look at the ground. A black paw suddenly stuck itself out of (Y/n)'s bag making the three girls stare at the bag in shock. Then a black and white head stuck itself out and meowed in displeasure at the fact it got stuck in the bag.
