Viva la vida

Chapter 2

"Hanji?" I mumbled as Hanji Zoe's eyes brightened, bringing her focus back to me.

"Hi, little one! How was your nap?" she asked with a bright smile.

"Painful..." I replied. "Where is Free?"

"Your sister?" Hanji inquired. "She left."

I nodded, and then I was lifted and placed onto a horse. 

"Where are we going?" I asked, feeling a mix of confusion and apprehension.

"The brat has no idea about anything," I heard Levi say coldly, prompting me to glare back at him.

"Shut up! I know I'm going away! I just don't know where!" I shot back. Levi is tough to crack, but if Isabel can, then maybe I can too.

"What is your name?" Levi asked, and I recognized it as a trick question. They already knew who we were; this was a test.

"Cain... " I answered nervously. Damn, Levi is intimidating in person! And Hanji is terrifyingly energetic. Erwin, on the other hand, remained calm as he approached and sat down on the same horse as me.

"Then, Cain, it is time to go home," he said.

Cain Smith, my new identity and name. Frieda had managed to modify some memories and get them to adopt me. The fake backstory, Erwin, my adoptive father, crafted was simple. I was an illegitimate child he had, my supposed mom died. Nobody questioned it, even Levi Ackerman got used to me.

I sat in front of a mirror, brushing my hair, creating two French braids that ended where my neck and head connected. I wonder, should I braid Historia's hair into a crown? Heh, that would be a great reference.

Now, it was time to write down what I knew, in the language of my past life. I don't know how many would be able to read my notes, but it was still better to hide them. One lock, write from right to left, a language that is still unknown, and place the notebook under the mattress.

Krista Lenz, true name Historia Reiss. A young girl who should not have been born, hated in childhood, used in adulthood, and invisible in her teen years. She was a cutie pie in the first season of the show...And well, shit went down later.

Number one:

Historia Reiss, or Krista Lenz, is my half-sister. In the anime and manga, she turns into the queen. She treated Eren and the rest badly for a while, maybe due to pressure. All her life she was cast away by her family and the only time she had contact with her mother was when she was thrown off. She has a martyr complex, and the only kindness she had was from Frieda. Her father only wants to use her and turn her into the queen due to her being the last of his family. Kenny Ackerman wants to kill Historia because she is illegitimate.

Therefore, to correct this, I need to fill her with all the love I can! And keep her as the cutie-pie she used to look in her first debut in the anime. She is weak so we will need to train together, maybe even show her sign language, oh! And Morse code!

Number two:

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin are best friends from childhood who witnessed the wall fall. Yet, Eren already had violent tendencies, killing people to save Mikasa. Mikasa fell in love with him because of this. Eren has no memory of what his father did to him. Armin has no self-confidence and Mikasa has an attachment issue with Eren.

So, since I have the memories of his dad and experiments, I can pass them to Eren without him knowing, though I'm not sure if he should see his father's rampage. I'll also need to help Armin and Mikasa with their attachment issues and inferiority complex.
