Eren's POV

"Eren! The elevator is coming up!"

My head quickly swung in the direction the commotion was coming from. Everyone was surrounding the elevator. When it comes up, that means someone new was joining us, which happens once a month.

I jogged to the elevator, and saw that it was for sure coming up. I could see a dark figure pressed up against the side of the cage, looking up at us with a confused face. That's how they all looked when they arrive.

"Open it." I ordered to whoever was listening, and Connie was the one to step forward first, and lift the doors up so we could get a clearer view of this new member.

I stepped closer, and was about to get a closer look, but Jean stepped in front of me and glared at the new member.

"What do we have here? Some fresh meat, eh? Pft, he won't last a week here. Look how small he is." He trailed off, making fun of the new member.

"Jean fuck off." I growled, pushing him aside and bent down, closer to the elevator and peaked inside. He was in fact small, but in the face, he looked like he could kill with just an expression.

"Day 1, Shorty." Jean hissed at him.

Rolling my eyes, I grabbed the new guy's hand and pulled him up and out of the cage, and he hit the ground. All of the guys surrounded him and began to point at him and laughing.

"I could use him as a foot stool!" One yelled and laughed.

"That's enough!" I yelled, getting everyone's attention. "Every back to their jobs. Marco, take him to the pit."

As soon as the words fell from my mouth, Shorty quickly stood up and ran away from the group of us

"Oooo we gotta runner!" Someone called out.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me." I whispered, watching as Shorty quickly running in no particular direction, but towards the wall. I had to admit though, the newbie was a fast runner. Of course, that was until he face planted into the ground.

Everyone began to laugh again, pointing at him as he fell. I sighed. "Everyone get back!" I yelled, walking towards Shorty, who was giving me a death glare, trying to catch his breath.

Everyone obeyed, but not before the new guy hissed.

"Don't you fucking touch me, or I'll tear you to pieces." He began to back away from Marco as he reached for him.

"Huh, so he's got some spunk." I chuckled, putting a hand on my hip. "Listen here, you will do as we say, or we can easily have killed in a split second. So I suggest you to cooperate."

He glared at me, but didn't protest.

"To the pit, Marco." I ordered once again, and walked to the tent where Erwin was.

"What do you think of him?" He asked as I sat down on the chair with goat skin on it.

"He'll last." I simply said.

"That's what you said about the last guy. He didn't last but three days." Erwin pointed out, raising a thick eyebrow.

"Yes, yes I know. This guy's different though. Might be a handful, but he'll last." I replied, crossing my legs.

Erwin scoffed, leaning against the table. "Show him around then. Try not to scare this one off this time, will ya?"

"Fuck off, man." I joked, as I stood up and pushed his shoulder. "I'm not that scary."
