Chapter 2: Rations

                                    

                                          
Kiera's POV
                          
I was sat outside waiting for something to happen, Mikasa and Eren stood next to me,
                          
"What was you thinking?" Eren asked, I looked towards him,
                          
"You need someone to look after you both" I replied standing up,
                          
"But quitting the Survey Corps-"
                          
"Eren, you and Mikasa, even Armin need to be looked after" I stated cutting him off,
                          
"Eren! Mikasa! Kiera!" Armin yelled as he ran over to us, "Grandpa got these for us!" Armin smiled as he handed us some bread, I frowned as a Military Police member looked down at us.
                          
"You have a problem soldier?" I asked, he huffed before walking away to another member,
                          
"Why do we have to give our food to the outsiders? The Titans broke through the walls they should of eaten more of them" he muttered, my jaw clenched as I gave my bread to Armin before storming over to them, I kicked him in the shin before punching him in the gut,
                          
"I suggest you keep you mouth quiet soldier" I snarled,
                          
"You little brat!" He exclaimed as he punched me in the face making me fall to the ground before the other kicked me, I got up,
                          
"That's how you treat officers that are higher than you?" I scoffed, wiping my nose, their eyes widened in horror
                          
"You're just a kid. How can you be higher than us?" They taunted,
                          
"Captain Kiera Jaeger" I introduced making them gasp as they gave me the salute,
                          
"We're sorry Captain, we're just hungry" they apologised, I went back over to Armin and took my bread before breaking it in half,
                          
"Don't let anyone know of this" I growled before walking back to the others,
                          
"Are you crazy?" Eren asked as I sat on the wall.
                          
"I know how to deal with rations. You don't have to eat everyday. Eat every two days, maybe even three to make the food you have last" I stated, they nodded before we went inside to rest.
                          
*Year 846*
                          
250 thousand refugees were sent out attempting to reclaim Wall Maria, they failed only a hundred returned, none of them included Armins Grandpa, who took more care for us than I did, however now that he has gone, I will have to step up and take the roll of a carer and look after the three of these, even if it includes training to be a cadet again, it would nice to train again, I won't come top of my class like last time but I'll do it and take back my position as Captain Kiera.
                          
*Year 847*
                          
After hearing the speech about being livestock to the Titans, Shadis went around asking people where they were from,
                          
"You! I remember you!" He yelled coming to me, I saluted
                          
"Kiera Jaeger, sir!" I introduced,
                          
"Why are you back soldier?!" He yelled,
                          
"I looked after my siblings after the fall of Wall Maria and I'm too weak to go back fighting the Titans after 2 years. Sir!" I yelled, he sighed
                          
"Captain Kiera, am I right?" He asked,
                          
"Yes sir!" I replied, 
                          
"Captain Levi's go to?" He asked,
                          
"Yes sir!" I repeated, he nodded
                          
"Take notes of this one! She was the top of her class last time!" He announced before walking away.

It was dinner and everyone was surrounding me and Eren 
                          
"What's Captain Levi like?" someone asked,
                          
"Exactly what people expect him to be" I answered, 
                          
"How hard is this training?" Another asked, 
                          
"The combat is only for people to show off something. It's the other things that determine whether you are good enough or not" I shrugged,
                          
"What about-?"
                          
I noticed Eren and Jean neck and neck before the bell rang, they called it even before Eren walked out closely followed by Mikasa, Jean was blushing before following her out, I went outside myself,
                          
"Does Jean have a crush?" I teased, he pinned me against the wall,
                          
"Just because you was a Captain doesn't mean you run the camp" he growled, I rolled my eyes before swinging my leg under his making him fall and pinned him against the floor,
                          
"Listen I'm not running this place. I'm just here to train myself before joining the Scouts again but then why would you care? You're going to be aiming for Wall Sina furthest away from the Titans" I snarled before getting off him and leaving to the cabin.

After the third dimension training, Eren failing terribly, Mikasa and Armin took him to train a little more while I stayed in the cabin, it was dinner and Armin, Mikasa, Eren and myself was sat around the table, Eren had a bandage around his head from the extra training session, I noticed steam coming from his head making my eyes widen a little, he's just like me a Titan shifter, when did Father do that?
                          
The next day everyone was watching Eren to see if he fails or passes the third dimensional training, he was starting to do it which made most people cheer, however he fell, he was let down
                          
"Sir, may I suggest that he swaps belts with me" I suggested, he nodded and we switched before he was lifted up and doing it properly, I nodded before looking at the belt, "The metal fixtures are damaged" I stated, he took it off me before walking away,
                          
"Looks like it worked out somehow" Reiner commented,
                          
"His eyes are saying 'How's that?'" Armin smiled, 
                          
"No. He's relieved that he won't have to be separated from me" Mikasa stated,
