When I awoke I was in a dark room tied to a bed. My hands were chained together and white strips of some sort of hard material kept my entire body pressed against the thin mattress. I stared at the ceiling silently. I couldn't properly turn my head forward due to my bindings but I could tell I was in some sort of cell just by staring at the lined shadows on the ceiling, thanks to the dim lamplight from outside the cell.

" H-hey, are you awake?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin upon hearing the voice. Making the mistake of turning my head sideways too fast, I got a horrible whiplash.

" Ow! Who's there?" I could see a figure on the other side of the room.

" Sorry I startled you." The person leaned forward a little so I could get a good look. It was a teenage boy with dark brown hair and wide blue eyes sitting upright on a similar bed, only he wasn't chained but shackled.

" Its fine, Where are we?" I asked. He looked around the room uncertainly.

" Underground, I think." He shifted around the bed.

"So, what are you in here for?" I closed my eyes. I remembered the fight with that blonde man perfectly. Then...nothing. I probably got knocked out and was dragged down here.

"People are saying you attacked commander Erwin." I huffed in anger.

"So that's his name,Hold on, hes the one who assaulted me first! I was only defending myself."

" It doesn't matter, your not from the walls, if your an outsider your going to be kept here or probably killed." He said lowly. I shivered.

" But, I just got lost,and What are you here for anyway?"

He hung his head hopelessly. " They're saying I turned into a titan, but I cant remember anything." He stared at his hands for a moment. Titan...the old man was warning me about that, but he never answered my question.

"Whats a titan?" I asked for the second time. The boys eyes widened in surprise.

"You don't know what a titan is?"

I closed my eyes." No, Where i'm from, I have never heard of such a thing, what is it?" He shook in anger and fear. His hands clenched.

" Nobody knows exactly, we know so little about them, but, they're giants that appeared out of nowhere, more than half of the worlds population were devoured." I glanced at him. He couldn't be serious, giants?

" If you haven't heard of them, from where the hell are you?" He asked suspiciously.

"Konoha, but...I really don't understand what your saying about the worlds population being wiped out, my village is lively and we've never encountered these...titans."

He blinked in utter confusion. "But, you came from outside the walls right? you must of at least seen one." I racked my brain to remember the night I came here. That mountain. Could it have been one of those titans? Come to think of it, the land was very deserted and the forest was crawling with too much wildlife.

"Oh no...where exactly am I?" I said in a squeaky voice. Nothing here was familiar to me, and there could only be one explanation. I wasn't in some other village away from konoha. Konoha wasn't even close to being here, because I was in some other world. Tobi must of done a jutsu that transported me in some other dimension. It made sense, after all, tobi could transfer parts of his body in other worlds and that's why our attacks would pass through him.

"Your in wall sina, so you got kicked out of your village? I have never heard of konoha, I thought we were the last humans standing."

"No...I mean, I don't think I even belong here, this is some other world, I need to find a way to get back." I said in a small panic. I wasn't supposed to be here.

"To your village? There's probably nothing left to return to, we are the last humans alive hiding behind these walls, your village most likely got breached by titans and you got away." He gave me a sorrowful look. "Im sorry." He whispered. No. He wasnt getting it. How could I make him understand without sounding crazy. But this world was crazy, it was like straight out of a horror film. A girl falling from the sky into another world was nothing compared to giant cannibals. I was about to explain when the door from outside the door suddenly opened. The sound of footsteps filled the hall. I strained my neck to see but only managed to get a glimps of the top heads of three people. I turned to the boy for some sort of clue as to what was happening but he looked as clueless as I was. His body posture was tense in anticipation.

" So your awake, aren't you going to ask for the bathroom this time?" A woman's voice sang out. I squirmed."Ohhh it seems the lady is awake too!" She laughed. "How long am I going to be kept here?" The boy asked.

" Not much longer, I'm coming back to collect you both in a few more hours, dont you worry a bit." The woman sounded so positive and happy, It almost pissed me off.

"Don't get his hopes up, I want to talk to the girl." A very smooth males voice spoke out to the woman.

" Eh?! I want to question her too levi." I tensed up. Question me about my attack on the blonde man? Oh no, what could I say...I should of pretended to be asleep.

" You'll get your chance, hey you, whats your name?" He was speaking to me. I turned to the boy, who glanced at me in return.

"Uh, i'm sakura, sakura haruno." Silence...

"Do you know why your here?" The man, levi asked.

I shook my head. Of course I knew, but I feigned ignorance.

" You attacked the head commander of the survey corps upon infiltrating wall sina." His voice was very monotone and direct.

" I didn't! I got lost and came here, a man told me about this place, so I came and a man attacked me!" I was trying hard to keep in control, but I was slowly realizing the dire situation I was in. This was a matter of life and death. This was serious. I was an enemy to these people.

"Is that so, where are you from?"

The boy answered for me. "Leave her alone, she said shes from konoha, her village was attacked by titans and she escaped." I stared at the boy in bewilderment.

" Hey! we didn't ask you yeager!" A different male responded. I gasped in shock. Yeager...The old man in the woods. Dr yeager. Were they related?

" She lost her home to the titans!" The boy yelled in anger. "Yet all you care about is keeping us here locked up." He shook helplessly.

" tch, is that right?" Levi asked stoicly. The boy gave me a sideways glance that told me to agree.

"Yes, Im the only survivor." My voice held sorrow. not because It was true, but because I couldn't believe this was happening to me. My life unexpectedly went downhill in just a day.

"I see, i'll see you in court, your fate will be determined by law, as for you." The boy shivered but frowned. "You say you want to be in the scouting legion, that will also be determined in court, whether your an enemy or an ally to humanity, I will see to it that you get in." With that he left.

the woman whistled. "Don't worry eren, im sure you'll be alright." Eren. the mans words came back to me. 'you remind me of eren.' This was his son. I heard her shoes scrape against the floor as she was about to depart.

"Wait!" She stopped and hummed.

"Hm What is it?" I gulped.

"What will happen to me in court?"

She sighed. " I'm not sure, that's for erwin to decide, Hes the one who you assaulted so he gets to have a say in whether we kill you or not." With that she left. I waited until the door shut to begin talking.

"Thank you, you really stood up for me." I spoke out.

Eren huffed. "I'm not sure if what your saying is true, but you don't look like a bad guy to me."

I gave him a sly smile. " Its the half truth, so your name is eren." He nodded. Perhaps I shouldn't tell him of the old man in the woods. I had a feeling drama would happen if I did. " I just hope things work out in our favor."

He slumped back in his bed. " your brave to take on erwin you know." I grinned. "He must be an important guy, but I couldn't have known that, still, your problems are bigger aren't they?"

He bit his bottom lip. "I have no idea how I came out of a titan, I guess i'll get details in court."

"What happened?" I asked in curiosity. "You came out of a titan?"

He nodded. "That's what I was told, I went out to kill the titans that appeared in wall rose and..." tears slid down his cheeks. " Everyone got eaten...I couldn't do a thing." His shoulders shook with each sob and I worried for him. This poor boy. It was like watching my younger self crying over being useless next to sasuke and naruto, always being saved, always the weak one. "You don't remember anything after that?" I asked in empathy.

"No."

I sighed. "Don't worry eren, things will get better..." My eyes felt heavy. Before I knew it, erens sobs were quieting down as I drifted off to sleep.

Bang! A loud noise startled me into consciousness. My body was sore from being tied down. I felt hands release me from my bindings and I groaned from the slight pain.

"Relax, Its time for your trial." A woman with brown hair tied up in a ponytail and glasses said soothingly. " I'm hanji, the one you spoke with earlier." She helped me stand up and led me outside the cell. Eren was standing next to an average height, man with jet black hair and almond shaped eyes. He was extremly pretty for a male. " hurry up, they're waiting." He said in a bored tone. He wasn't amused by the fact that he had to take us and I instantly remembered his voice as levi. Both eren and I were escorted past a door and we were instantly engulfed by light. Someone in white appeared behind us and ordered us to put our hands behind our backs.

"Go ahead" Levi instructed when we hesitated. We were handcuffed and made to sit behind a long white pole in the middle of the room, which we were chained to. I looked around the room slowly. There were various people seated around us, and a bearded old man in the front of a huge high desk. A lot of the poeple from eren's left side wore the same brown uniform as levi and hanji. I bit my lip nervously and instantly cowered when I saw the blonde guy I fought standing at the far corner of the room. His blue eyes bore into me and I clenched my hands. He was going to call the shots on my life. I turned to eren, who was smushed up beside me. He was looking at two people in particular with shocked eyes. A girl with dark black hair and a small, fragile, looking boy with long blonde hair. Most likely his friends.

" Eren yeager, Sakura haruno, you stand before the holy court of sina, will you swear to tell the truth, and only the truth." People shifted around nervously and murmured amongst themselves.

"I do" Erens voice came out wobbly and unsure. "I-I do!" Jesus, mine came out even worse.

" Eren, the crime of standing against humanity is great, siding with the titans and appearing before one in wall rose, the place of your loyalty is now in question." Eren shifted so that our knees touched. An act of reasuring himself he wasn't alone. "Armin Arlert, will you stand as a witness in rose to erens behalf?" the bearded one asked with a booming voice. The blonde boy rose.

"Y-yes, I was there when eren came out of the titans neck, but he wasn't interested in eating humans, he was attacking and killing nearby titans, until they eventually ate him." Eren glanced at the boy in shock. His thoughts probably going a million miles a second.

"That's outrageous! A titan attacking a titan!? Dont tell me your going to believe that great lie!" A man on my right yelled dramatically.

"Silence! Thank you armin." The boy, armin looked down in defeat.

"Mikasa Ackerman, Its true that while eren was in a titan state, he attacked you." The black haired girl turned sharply to the woman beside her with a menacing glare. " After they exchanged a few words mikasa turned to the judge and said.

"Yes, eren attacked me, but it was only a scratch, armin was able to get to him and eren was successful in moving the boulder to block the enterance to wall rose, he saved us!" Eren gasped in shock. "Mikasa..." He whispered. I felt like I was watching a dramatic soap opera.

"No! Its obvious this girls feelings are clouded by her closeness to the titan! Mikasa Ackerman, you lost your family and the yeagers took you in right? Its only natural that she would try to defend him!" Chaos erupted in the room. Mikasa glared at the one who spat the words at her. It was a very dramatic soap opera indeed.

"Enough! Its a very unique case, eren has titan abilities, and it seems he cant control them."

"Put him to death already!" I shrank back as the same man who hurled the words at mikasa shouted at eren.

" Eren yeager, tell us now, are you human, or titan?" Eren was breathing hard, his eyes were wild and wide.

"Eren..." I whispered.

"Human!" He shouted. Silence spread across the room, until the debating started again.

"Kill him, he cannot be trusted, only god has the power to save us from the titans!" The annoying man agian. My guess was that he was a priest. I turned to Erwin in the midst of the voices erupting in rage. He never tore his eyes away from my presence. Was he...silently thinking about whether or not I should live?

" I sentence eren yeager to death." My thoughts vanished as soon as I heard that phrase. A man in the uniformed side said it. Several other people agreed one by one. Oh no...Erens face turned pale, along with mikasa and armin. Stop it...I shut my eyes. Please...Stop it! I was about to shout out but eren beat me to it.

"No! What are you scared of!? We've always been losing to the titans, and I can be your savior! I can help bring back wall maria! I can protect you from them! Stop being cowards! Stop hiding behind these walls like a pathetic worm! Stop being afraid and bet everything you have on me!" The room fell silent. I was shocked at erens outburst. He was panting heavily now. Even as a foot connected with his face, he managed to hold that strong will in his eyes. Levi stood over us, pressing the bottom of his foot in erens face.

"Idiot, yelling when its not your turn to talk,You don't need to be disciplined like a man, you need to be disciplined like a dog." He kicked him across his face swiftly. I gasped in horror and felt erens body slam against mine.

"Stop it!" I yelled as eren was repeatedly being beaten senslessly right beside me. Mikasa was being held back by armin as she tried to jump in. Eren spat out a tooth.

" hey levi! stop beating him, h-he might get mad and turn into a titan." The priest said nervously.

Levi scowled. Grabbing eren by his hair, he dragged him up and pressed a hand to his bloody face."Him? If he does i'll kill him, it will be easy, hes not so special." The priest growled in anger. "You police and holy followers are weak,authority is weak. you couldn't possibly keep this dog in check, only the survey corps can handle him."

The judge nodded. "Its decided then, I will leave eren yeager in your care, I trust you will make him useful to humanity."

Levi dropped eren and moved to kick him aside but I blocked it with my body. The kick was painful and I yelped , he will pay...I glared at him. Levi didn't even flinch, if anything he still had that bored expression, just like sasuke.

" Ah, that's right, sakura haruno, your case was just about to be discussed next." He grabbed a fistfull of my hair and dragged me up. "Now...You had the nerve to infiltrate wall sina and attempted to kill erwin smith correct?" His breath caressed my face but I continued to glare. His face seemed like a perfect punching bag right about now.

"Levi." Erwins voice echoed across the room. Levi dropped me and stood aside.

" And what is her story?" The judge turned to erwin.

" I testify on sakuras behalf, She is not originally from within the walls, I found her on top of wall sina, and in an attempt to gather information from her, I was too violent, she had no choice but to defend herself against my attacks." My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believe it. Erwin was...making me look like the victim.

"She lost her home to the titans! She came here looking for shelter!" Eren shouted in between painful gasps.

"Don't make me laugh..."The priest started, but cowerd when a glare from levi came his way.

"A village outside the walls, I didn't know there was such a thing..." The judge mused to himself.

This was it. I had to lie. "My family was murdered! I escaped and found I was the only survivor, I came to this place seeking help!" I nearly sobbed. Good god. Ino would be proud of me.

" Shes an outsider! how do we know shes not a filthy titan!?" Someone shouted. Voices roared in rage once more. I was being called all sorts of names. Spy, Titan, Killer,. I even heard someone shout out that if I attacked erwin, someone probably sent me to do it.

Levi pressed his foot above my head. "If she is, I'll kill her without mercy, She too, will be disciplined like a dog."

My eyebrow twitched. The judge coughed. "Very well, erwin you don't want to press charges against her?" I looked up at the blonde man pleadingly. He stared back but without emotion. He was unreadable.

"No, the survey corps will take her in, She will be under levi's watch." I screamed inside my mind. I was to be cared for by this asshole stepping on my head?! I wanted to shout for them to kill me. Eren sneaked his hand inside mine, his eyes told me to say nothing.

"If shes a spy, I will handle her, trash as weak as these two pose no threat." Levi said, staring at erwin. Something went on between them about me...I could tell things didn't go as levi had planned, but he went along with erwin.

"Case dismissed." Eren and I were set free and led by hanji outside the bottom doors. Although I was treated harshly, the court ended in my favor after all. Eren was pretty beaten up. I made a mental note to heal him once we were alone again. Looking back at the room full of departing people, I caught a glimpse of levi and erwin talking. Levi had a large frown while erwin had a faraway expression, they were arguing about something but it was clear erwin called the shots, he was the higher up in rank. I looked down at my feet as hanji took us to a different room far away from the cell. The outcome of my case was planned. I was going to be sentenced to death, and both levi and erwin knew it. Erwin had it planned. so then...why did he change his mind. I got totally lucky in that trial, but only because of the blond man. Even after I assaulted him on top of the wall that night, he chose to save me. I squeezed my eyes shut as the three of us left the cell dorm. It didn't matter why. I was alive.
