"Fight off your demons."
"Watch it!"
The mans voice was loud and right in Scar's ear too. He was tall and big, about a foot taller then her own height. With all the pushing and what not, she had accidently practically body-checked this big dude...even though it hardly even made him flinch. However, he was still pissed off about it and continued yelling nonsense at Scar while she continued trying to push through the big crowd...the big man right beside her just to probably irritate her.
Okay! I get it! Would you leave now, please!?" Scar basically screamed back at the man, her eyes wide with anger, as she turned to her side and faced him. She didn't know if this stupid guy realized that a lot of people were currently trying to find their partners and trying to get in check. The man quickly put his arms in the air, surrendering to Scar's pure anger and irritation, before he waved his hand at her and turned around and quickly disappeared in the crowd.
Scar swiftly turned her head to face the crowd again, seeing if she could somehow spot her partner in this madness. People wee continuing to push and step on Scar's feet. The screaming of nonsense and the loud cries weren't helping much with the situation. People must of known that they were going to have to fight Titans sooner or later? Why is everyone so afraid? Isn't everybody basically prepared to die when they join a branch...?
Just then, a sudden calloused hand grabbed onto hers and began pulling her back. She gave out a sharp yelp and began trying to shrug off the hand and try to get out of its hold; until she was pulled out of the crowd completely and her eyes met with a familiar blue pair of eyes. Scar sighed, a slight smile on her face. She had found her partner. Or, he had found her.
"You almost got trampled over there, Red." Nori said, his voice sounding calm and quiet... as if none of this was bothering him at all. She rolled her eyes at his comment, preparing to say something like, "I would of made it on my own! It's not my fault so many people are here!" But she quickly decided not to, seeing that it was so easy for Nori to swiftly pull her out of that mess; hinting that Scar was no where near the front of the crowd...where she wanted to be in the first place....
"You Ready?" He asked, his blue eyes staring into her own. She stared at him for moment, almost forgetting what he had asked, before chuckling quietly. "Yes! Of course I'm ready! Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's go get in line." She replied, hoping her happy façade actually did some good. With her grip still on his hand, she charged back into the crowd, hoping Nori wouldn't let go of her tight hold on his hand behind her. The crowd was a little more calmer now... even though it's just been a minute. A few "Excuse me." 's and "Pardon me" 's actually helped her make her way through the crowd, some actually moving over a bit for her and her partner.
Before she knew it, she could see the line of trainees slowly beginning to form and she knew she was in the right spot. She let go of Nori's hand and tilted her head to whisper to him. "Let's line up now. Don't turn into your weapon form until we get going. Okay?" She whispered to him, but hopefully it was loud enough for him to only hear. She patted his shoulder gently with a smile on her face before turning around to go get in her appropriate place in the line.
And that place was at the front of the line. Number one. Even though she shared the spot, she was still number one. She quickly jogged her way to her spot beside her fellow number one companion, Earl. She slowed down her pace once she neared him, her calm features now replaced with a determined look as she cleared her throat. She made her way beside Earl, keeping her distance from him of course. She stood there, her back straight and her chin held high.
It had always been a competition for her to prove that she was better then Earl. So, when her back straight, measuring up to her full five foot four inches of height...she knew she would never measure up to Earl's own height. Still, she was determined to stay strong around him. Just for, once again, trying to prove she was that much better then him. She took short glances at the white-haired man all while thinking. 'How did he even rank number one next to me!? His strength only comes with his pure madness. He shouldn't be here at all. He can't even work well with the people around--'
Her thoughts were cut off when she heard the loud noises of building being crushed and tumbled over. She slightly cringed as one building hit the ground, the whole ground basically vibrating underneath her feet. The Titans were only getting closer, yet she didn't understand why they were still waiting. She wanted to get a move on. Scar began intertwining her fingers with each hand of hers behind her back. The were already sweaty and clammy, but she didn't let that bother her. 'Hope is stronger then fear. Hope is stronger then fear...'
“We cannot wait any longer, let the others come afterwards; we must go and provide assistance to the men already out there fighting the giants.” A man yelled out. 'Yes! Let's go already!' She thought to herself as she looked around at her surroundings, noticing that some others weren't indeed there yet. Others were already holding their weapons and looked fully prepared. Scar liked to wait before she got her weapon out.
The loud sounds of more buildings crashing to the Earth and bricks and different objects following along with that filled Scar's ears. Yet, she didn't cringe this time and began walking up towards the fight without another word or any orders. Her hands were clenched into small balls of fists at her sides. Her eyes roamed the inner village of Wall Maria that was now being destroyed. She knew people had probably already gotten injured and some had probably already died from fighting. She knew that these people couldn't stay here and watch any longer, including her...
