CHAPTER ONE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
•••
Rumors.
"A Titan on our side has appeared!"
"Is there really a Titan that sided with humanity?"
"You can even say he's our savior!"
They were supposed to be nothing but rumors. A whisper in the crowd, murmuring nonsense to one another. Full of faux blabbers and gossip. She couldn't ignore them. They were loud. Engaged as they discussed further. Perhaps her curious side leaned further into the story from the people around her. She couldn't help but listen to them. It was interesting really. Not a lot of things had caught her attention. She rarely paid attention to her surroundings, rarely cared. However, hearing rumors of a Titan siding with humanity had any stranger be curious, especially Freya Nightwalker.
"Nearly there."
The announcement had her look down at her hands that rested calmly on her lap. Her gaze intently stared at them as if they were foreign. A strange sight for her to look at. It felt wrong to look at them free. No restrain. No metal cuffs wrapped tightly around her wrists. Hands that were unbound to do anything. Each finger from her left hand decorated with silver rings glinted from the sun. She started to twist the thin jewelry on her left pinky, turning it again and again until there was that familiar burn enclosed around her soft skin. This was a test, maybe. She was at a free state of doing whatever she wanted. They were just waiting to see if she would risk it all for that small price of liberty.
The carriage she sat in lessened its pace. Waiting for the ride to end seemed like an eternity for her. How long has she been enclosed in a wooden case, she forgot. She didn't bother with time anymore. It was futile anyway. But looking out the window, fingers peaking out the curtain, it was midday. With a long, heavy sigh, she leaned back with a slump. At least for her, the seat was comfortable enough. She merely forgot the circulating rumors of the people in Wall Rose.
"We've arrived."
Then it came to a halt. Her back straightened when she heard the coachman call to hop off. She didn't have the time to open the door as someone else did it for her. Her lips immediately pursed into a thin line when a Military Police officer stood in front of her, waiting for her to climb out. The sight of their green stallion logo made her want to scoff. However, she didn't want a reaction coming from herself to be seen so soon. An aisle waited for her, a straight line leading towards an entrance door with Military Police cadets lined left and right.
She smiled faintly at the position they were in. To go through cautionary measures for her to not escape. Even someone who wasn't as skilled as her could just about runaway. But she didn't intend for that, yet.
