Amnesia - Finding a Devils Memory (Attack on Titan x Reader)

Chapter 6

You stand in a white room, pillars spread out far and wide holding up the cloud-like ceiling. All that needs to be added to make it a perfect painting  is little cherubs. It is what one would think Heaven appears to be. Pristine and silent.

"Cadet!" A voice echoes, bouncing round the room. You recognise it.

"Captain Levi?" You question the air uncertain of your position.

There is no reply, not a peep. You wish you could form an image of this 'Captain Levi'. He sounds important, someone with a great deal on his shoulders. Someone with authority.

The train hits a branch in the line, it causes the cart to jerk making you wake up.

As you open your eyes Pieck is in front of you.

"You're adorable when you have a nightmare." you stare at her, your mouth slightly apgape, "Your nose twitches! Isn't it cute Porco?" She turns to Galliard. He ignores Pieck, slightly flustered.

You turn away thinking about Captain Levi. You squeeze your eyes, trying to create an image, however there is no outcome to your hard effort.

Lying you head against the window, you fall asleep, wishing of a dreamless sleep.

A high-pitch whistle alarms you. The train comes to a hault, the sudden stoppage of movement causes you to bash your head on the window.

"We're home!" Pieck dances round the cart.

You stand up noticing Galliards military coat around you.

He does care.

"Thank you," you pass him back his coat, he snatches it back, not saying a word, "typical." you mutter under your breath. You observe him marching into the Eldian soldiers cart.

Pieck approaches and you both walk off the cart together.

"Pork gave you his coat before I could." Pieck pouts. You smile at her. You could tell really cared about you, an island devil.

She does care.

"Y/N," Zeke calls, "Commander Magath wishes to speak with you."

You sludge over to him, not really wanting to interact with him, especially when you are still half asleep. Ever since you had arrived in Marley, Zeke had seemed fishy.

"That's all those two argued about on the way back," he is referring to Galliards coat, "Pieck wanted to give you her coat but Porco beat her to it. At one point I even had to separate them."

They care.

"I'm assuming Reiner is alright."

Zeke nods towards the group. Reiner is standing with Gabi and the others. Galliard is holding onto Colt, who is completely hammered from celebrating last night and Pieck is pestering Zofia and Zofia whilst Falco is embarrassed by his older brothers actions.

"Ah Y/N," Magath greets, "walk with me." and he guides you away from Zeke.

"Have I done something wrong?" you ask meekly.

"Quite the contrary! Without your quick thinking when that second armoured train appeared, we would've been in a hell more of a lot of trouble." he pats your back.

There is an awkward silence.

"My image has changed of you. At the beginning you were just an Island Devil, but now, you're more, an ally and a friend of citizens here. However, make no mistake that you are an exception and none of your previous friends will be treated equally."

You felt special being called an exception, it filled a void in your heart; the need for approval and to be cherished.

After living here for an amount of time, you had memorised the layout of the streets, particularly the places you visited the most: Liberio, Military training grounds, the port and the prison (which you have not been travelling to as recently).

"Where are we going?"

"The Tybur Mansion."
