3rd POV

Eren is laying down on the green grassy hill, while Noel and Mikasa are picking up wood.

Eren's POV

Blue flowers swaying in the breeze..... Blood....... A man..... the farming fields...... titans...... more blood..... fire place..... a little girl's room........ blonde smiling monster...... rubble..... a blurry struggling figure..... *Gasp!*

'What.... was that?' I think as I catch my breath, noticing two figures in front of me. "A-ah. Mikasa, Noel. Hey." I say after a minute. "We should get back." Mikasa says quietly. Noel nods quietly, watching me with her metallic gold orbs of hers.

"W-where are we exactly?" I stammer as I sit up. Noel chuckles. "Try asking me again when you're awake." She says with a smirk. "I'm not- I just- I don't know. It's like that dream I was having went on forever. It's gone now. What was it about?" I question, ignoring my younger twin as I rub my eyes.

Mikasa stands up, and joins Noel. She looks at me before doing a double take. 'Is there something on my face?' I think. "Eren have... Have you been crying?" She asks me. My eyes widen and I touch my face. Sure enough, warm drops of water could be found on my face. Noel rushes over to me and kneels beside me with a worried expression. "Are you okay?! I can have dad help me make a sleeping medicine if you want!! How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Does your head hurt? Does-" I cut her off. "It's okay, El. It was just a weird dream." 

Noel's POV

We are walking through the bustling town when Eren speaks. "Hey, you two do me a favor? Don't tell ANYONE I was crying." I roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Mikasa and I say. I giggle. "Still though, you don't even remember why? You might want to have El and your dad look into that." Mikasa continues. "Ha- right. Because tearing up is usually a medical thing." Eren mutters.

"Was somebody messin' with you?" A familiar voice says. I look up. "Hey Mr.Hannes." Eren and I say respectfully. "Or did you just get on Mikasa and Noel's bad side." Hannes continues. My eyes narrow. "Eren didn't. But you might." I snap, defending my older twin. He raises an eyebrow. "No! What're you even talking about!? Pah-uh! You smell like a tavern! *Sigh* Oh course." Eren says in disgust.

Hannes laughs. "You kids care for a swig?" I step up with sparkling eyes. 'It's been ten freaking years since i've had a sip of alcohol; I am NOT passing up this chance now.' But two hits on the head stops me. "Noel! NO!" Eren and Mikasa shout. I pout in disappointment.

"Anyways, aren't you on watch?" Eren asks while I rub my sore head. " Yup! Watching the old gate, we are. Thirsty work playing sentry. Cards will only go so far, chasing off the boredom. A little sip now and then keeps us all on our courage for a spell. Perks of being a guard, eh." He says drunkly. Eren hunches over slightly. "How are you going to fight if you're so loose on your feet!?" Eren asks in anger. 

I ignore the rest of the conversation, becoming lost in my thoughts. 'Today''s the day our life's go to hell, huh. I can't save mum though. It's going to be so, so hard to not warn them. When we reach home, I need to grab one change of clothes for Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and I. I also should pack my main medical supplies and my rare medical herbs along with some food. No one should be too suspicious, as I always have those things. I can just say I have a bad feeling that someone's going to get hurt so I brought the good stuff.' I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Mikasa. "Noel? Come on, we're leaving." She says warmly. I nod and take her hand, swinging it around playfully as we follow Eren.

We walk in silence for a while, until "Eren, you should let this Scout regiment thing go." Mikasa says. "Huh? Seriously! Why does everyone think they're a joke?! You don't Noel, right?" Eren asks me in panic. (A/N I just re-wrote panic five times.) I smile and shake my head. "No. I admire them, although, I'm following you where ever." Eren looks at me in shock. "No! You-" Eren is cut off. "Eren, I have to agree with Noel. We will follow you anywhere." Mikasa says seriously. 

Eren was about to reply, when the bells went off. His eyes lit up. "Perfect timing! They're back! We can make it if we hurry. Get a move on you two! I want a good view!" Eren grabs our wrists and pulls us to where the Scouting Regiment is coming in.

"I can't see squat!" Eren complains. I sigh. 'I really wanted to see them though. OH! Crates!' "Eren!" I call. "Let's go to the crates!" 

We climb up to see the Scouts filing in. A blond man looks over at us, then he looks away. 'Erwin Smith....' I think as I smile softly. But then my smile melts into one of horror; it's one thing to see such horrfic injuries on a screen. But in real life, it's ten times worse. One man has bandages wrapping around his head, covering his eye. Another has his mouth hidden with bloody wrappings. Some people have missing limbs. It was horrible. 'T-this is.....' I don't even know what to think.

"They really took a hit this time, huh." A man nearby says. "Yeah. Most of them got eaten. That's what happens when pride brings you outside the walls." Another replies. My horror is quickly turning into anger. 'How dare they!'

"Moses! Moses! Where is my son Moses!?" An old lady cried. Knowing the outcome, I hop off my crate and start to walk in the lady's direction. Once I reach her, she's on the ground sobbing over her son's arm. I wrap my arms around her. "It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay, okay?" I say in a slightly baby-ish voice. She sniffles and raises her head. "Okay." She whispers.

I pat her head and walk away, not noticing the two burning stares. Soon enough, they leave and then the chatter starts. "All of our hard earned taxes gone to waste." One man says. That one comment set me off. "Hey! At least they're trying to do something! They're fighting for humanity while we just sit in the walls, putting down the people who are trying to free us from our status of cattle. Yes, that's right! We are cattle and these walls, our pen. So no matter what happens out there, you should support them because they are the people that will lead us to freedom!" I shout. 

Everyone's attention is on me. I faintly notice Eren and Mikasa by my side. No one speaks as we leave. I hope they think about what i've said. "So. Are you still bound and determined to become one of them? A scout?" Mikasa asks Eren. I wait  for his answer. Eren looks shocked that Mikasa would even ask such a thing, but i'm not. I already know the outcome. "Just.... Help me pick these up." Eren finally says as he had dropped his firewood.

I look at Mikasa to find her looking at me. We both sigh before bending down and picking up sticks. "Like there was much to begin with." Mikasa says. I snicker. Soon enough, we finish and head home.

"Hey, we're home." Eren says as he opens the door. "Welcome back kids." Mother says as she turns around. We empty our baskets of fire wood into a crate, then sit down at the kitchen table. "Wow! Someone worked hard to keep us supplied for the next several days." Mother says as she walks over to Eren. "Hm. Whatever." I start to snicker as I knew what would follow. Carla (Mother) grabbed Eren's ear. "Your ears are red so that means you have something to hide. Mikasa and Noel helped you again now didn't they?" She says with a sly grin. No response.

"Hey. Where you off to dad? Is it a patient?" Eren asks as he digs into his food. My eyes light up as I play the part of an excited child. "Oh! Can I come?!" I ask. Grisha (Father) chuckles. "I think you should stay here Noel. If something happens, there should be at least one official doctor here." I pretend to pout but nod. And yes, I am a official doctor: Dr.Jaeger. "Here Noel. Read this and when I come back in about a week or so we can go over it." Father says as he pulls out three thin books from his bag. I grin as I take the books. "So. Um. Eren and Noel are thinking about joining the scouts." Mikasa says. Our parents gasp as Eren and I start to choke on our food. Eren slams his stuff down."Way to keep a secret Mik-" He's interupted. "Get that ridiculous thought out of your heads right now! No child of mine is going to be titan food! Do you two understand me?!" Mother yells. My anger rises as Eren and I reply. "Stop yelling at us!!" "Don't you dare-" Mother starts. "It's a nightmare Eren, Noel. The outside. You have no idea." Father says grimly. 'But I do know, father. I truly do.' is what I want to say, but I don't. 

"Yeah, I get it okay! But it's got to be better than this life! I'm not stupid. I know it's ugly out there. I know there's death around every corner." Eren says, I decide to continue. "But we can't just give up on it! Because otherwise, this nightmare is never going to end!" Everyone looks at Eren and I in shock. I honestly agree with him though. In my old life, you had to make your dreams a reality through hard work. 

".... I see." Father says. After a moment of silence father gets up. "Excuse me. I'll be late to the farrie." "Darling, wait! Scold the twins, for heaven's sake!" Mother cries as she follows him. "Dear, please. Let's think this through. Mere words won't hold back the twin's curiosity." He then turns to Eren and I. "Eren, Noel. Behave while i'm gone and i'll let you in on what i've been doing in the cellar. Agreed?" Father says. Even though I already know what's in it, I share the same excitement as my older brother. "Yes sir! You got it!" We say together.

"Have a good trip!" Eren and I say. I grab his hand and squeeze it tightly, for I knew this would be the last time we see our father sane, and healthy. "I meant what I said." We turn around to face mother. "What?" "The whole idea is just irresponsible." She says firmly. "Huh!? Irresponsible?! So what? It's better than living behind some stupid wall your whole pointless life!" He cries. Eren lets go of my hand as he runs away. "Eren!" Mother cries. I stand there in shock. '.... What the heck Eren... You just left me to the wolves!' I think in horror. I slowly turn around to mother, but she is already facing Mikasa. " Mikasa! The twins need to be protected from themselves! Promise me, whatever happens I can count on you to have their backs!" I butt in."Hey. Don't group me with my twin. I am freaking responsible! And mature. Definetly mature." They just stare at me. 'Come on...... ARRRGGGG!' I snap. "FINE! I guess you don't have any faith in me!" I shout as I run after Eren. 'Those big meanies!' 

Timeskip 3rd POV

"Ha, Where's the sacrilege now? Huh! Or does your philosophy also say it's wrong to fight back!" A kid asks as he slams Armin into a wall. "As a matter of fact, it does! I'd rather take a few hits than brawl like a beast!" He says in response. "Oh so now i'm a beast!?" "Take a good look at yourself and tell me you are't acting like one. You resort to violence because your brain is the size of a walnut!" Armin shouts. "So beat me all you want! I've already won!" He finishes. "Yeah? Well i'm a sore loser!" The bully says as he raises his fist. But, it never went down.

Noel's POV

'I'm almost there!' I think as I run to Armin. When I reach them, I use my momentum to land a punch on one of the bullies face. "Back off!" I yell. I skid in front of Armin, facing the bullies. "O-oh crap! It's Noel! And is that?! It's Mikasa! RUN AWAY!" They scream in terror.  "Hahahaha..... haha.... ha.... ha..." I laugh with creepily with a scary smile on my face. A hand lands on my shoulder. "A-are you okay Noel?" It was Armin. My little cinnamon roll. I turn around, replacing my scary smile for a small warm one. "Yep! I should be asking you that! Sit down so I can treat you." I say as Eren and Mikasa reach us. "HA! They were so scared of me~!" Eren boasts. "Well, it wasn't you they were scared of." Armin says truthfully as I clean his wounds. I snicker as I gently rub a healing cream into a bruise. "Shut up Noel." Eren says with a put in his voice.

"Anyways. Are you okay Armin?" Eren asks in a normal tone as he sits next to him. Armin stares at his figure, then he stares at me. His eyes start to water. I panic. "H-hey! Don't cry! I can't heal tears!" I say as I finish treating him. He chuckles. "I's alright. Thank you, Noel." Armin stands up and leans on the wall. "....okay." Eren says hesitantly.

"*Sigh* They just heard me rambling on about how humanities future lays beyond the walls. I doubt they understood half of it, but still." Armin says. "Those idiots! Why does it have to be this way?! Can't people just let us dream!" Eren replies in anger. "Well if people say bad stuff about my dreams, I just beat them until they understand my philosophy. Simple!" I say, not noticing the sweatdrops from my friends. "Noel, you're a doctor. Aren't they suppose to be none violent." Eren asks in concern. I smile. "Yes, but not me! If i'm going to be a soldier with you then I have to toughen up!" Eren just sighs in response. "The walls are a powerful idea. We've survived for 100 years because of them. No one's keen on tempting fate." Armin says. "Fate my ass." I say under my breath, but everyone heard me. "I may not agree with them but I can see where they're coming from." Armin continues with a slight smile. "It's human nature, Noel. When all is said and done, the government's policies are a reflection of our fear." Armin says. I huff, knowing he's right. " The rest of the herd, maybe. But I say to hell with them!" Eren replies. "Someonne's going to hear you. Keep it down." Mikasa says.

"Why do I care? You'd rat us out either way." Eren says angerly. I could see the confused expression on Armin's face. "Mikasa was worried for us so she told our parents that we were thinking about joining the scouts." I say in a calm manner. "How can you be so calm about this?! She sold us out!" Eren says in disbelief. "If Mikasa hadn't done it, I would've. So suck it up, big brother~" I purr just annoy him. "You're so annoying. And short~" He replies. I shot up with a death glare painted on my face. "I'm not short. You guys are just abnormally tall!" As you can see, I am very sensitive about my height. 

Everyone laughs at our exchange. But Armin sighs. "It's sad. What most people are willing to settle for, for some fleeting sense of security. You know?" I sit back down, mulling over his words, as I have done countless times before. "And make absolutely no mistake. It is fleeting." He says. We are all silent. In my head, I have already moved onto the next topic. 'It's almost time. Why did I say that to Mother? I was too caught up in my anger. Before she dies I have to say sorry.' A loud bang breaks me from my thoughts.

"What was that!?" Eren yells as we all stand up. "I don't know. Let's go see." Armin suggests. We run to where all the people are gathering and stop. "Talk to me! What's going on! Was it some kind of explosion?...." But then Eren saw it. "Oh..... My gods....." Is all I can say. I'm frozen in fear as I watch the bright red hand clutch the wall. "T-titan..." We all breath. That is enough for me to snap out of my daze. "G-guys! We have to go! We have to go now!" I start to yell at them while dragging them with the help of Mikasa. "T-the wall is 50 meters tall. Impossible!" Armin says. I try to get us away before the titan kicks in the wall but, I wasn't fast enough. A gust of wind knocks us off our feet. I look back to see the horrifying head of the colassal titan. I gasp and yell, "Eren! We have to get to mum!! Come on!" This breaks him out of his daze. He gets up, ignoring Armin's yells. "Noel, Eren! No!" "Our house is that direction! Mum is all alone! We have to save her!" We both scream as we start to run.

"It's fine! It's fine! We'll turn the corner and our house will be fine!" I chant out loud. But I already knew the outcome. We then turn the corner. "MOOOOMMM!" Eren and I screech. We sprint to our house with Mikasa close on our heels. "E-Eren, Noel..." Mum groans as we reach her. "Mikasa grab that end. Noel be ready to pull her out when it's lifted!" Eren says as he grabs the plank of wood holding her down. "No... my legs are crushed, you have to go!" Mother shouts as we try to lift it. I'm about to reply when loud, thunderous footsteps stop me. I look over to see tall titans approaching the town. The blond smiling titan is walking towards us.

I turns back and yell, "Come on! It's getting closer! We have to get her out!" We get back to work. "Damn it! It won't move!" Eren says. "I'm trying!" Mikasa yells. "Eren, Noel. You have to go! You have to leave me behind!" "No!" We yell. "Just listen to me for one damn time twins! Mikasa take them away!" Mother yells. Mikasa shakes her head and continues to pull on the plank of wood. "We can carry you!" I say as tears leak out of my eyes. 'This women became my mother, a real mother to me and I won't let her meet that fate if I can help it.' "Hannes!" Mother yells. I look behind me to see Hannes zipping towards us. 'No... NO! He's going to take us away!' I creech in my head. "Hannes! Take the children away!" My mother yells. "Don't worry, Carla. I'm going to save all four of ya!" Hannes says as he starts to run at the titan. Suddenly, he stops. He turns around and runs at us. He grabs me and puts me over his shoulder while grabbing Eren and Mikasa. "I'm sorry Carla.." He says before he starts to run. I start to beat my fists on his back. "Hannes! Let us go! She needs us!" I watch the titan bend over and grab mother. I can see her struggling in the titan's grasp. I can hear her say, "Don't go." This all fuels me even more. "Hannes! I HEARD HER SHE SAID DON'T GO WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!" I screech, trying to escape.

But I was too late.

We all watch as the titan brings mother, my dear mother, to it's opened mouth and rip her in half. Mother's blood sprays everywhere. I get soaked in the crimson red liquid. The scene of my dear mother's death replays in my mind over and over again. 'Why?..... I have watch people die in my previous life. I watched her die on the screen so..... Why?' I think. 

3rd POV

And just like that, everything changed. At that terrible moment, in our hearts, we knew, home was a pen. Humanity, cattle.
