Y M I R

{ This is my revenge on life ;

A freckled face sprinted into the shadows with one hand tucked inside of her jacket, fingers curled around plump leather that belonged to a man who could afford more than he could carry. Tonight the darkness was her only companion. Small ears detected shouts behind her, but her companion was a loyal one - it shielded her from their frantic eyes as her own copper gaze focused on the path ahead of her. Her small curves were nothing to underestimate; she was muscular beneath these clothes, and she would outrun anybody in pursuit. This wallet was her prize now.

My parents never taught me how to steal. I learned that all on my own, but they taught me a lot of other things. Things that were meant to be kept secret. Abilities that were meant to be kept secret. A lot of secrets for one girl, but as it turned out I'm pretty good at keeping secrets. Actually, I'm pretty good at hiding everything, yet I've always believed that no matter how much a person has to hide they should stay true to themselves. Me? Nobody will ever know the full story, but that doesn't mean I have to change the person inside of me. I will always be blunt, selfish Ymir. I will always speak my mind, I will always tell you the miserable truths you don't want to hear, and I will always tease my comrades. Secrets or no secrets, what you see is what you get. You just won't know every detail of my past. ~~You wouldn't want to, anyway. I know too much~~

She tucked a wisp of dark hair behind her ear as she pressed her back against the wall, head cocked and eyes closed. The whispers weren't as hushed as the men probably thought they were - she could hear every word, and every word was another secret to add to her treasure chest. Rumors, gossip, descriptions, classified information. She was hanging on every word until she heard the scuffling of feet, and an instant later she was slinking away into the darkness once more, lips stretched back into a smirk. She had an idea.

There are two reasons why I decided to become a Peacekeeper. Both are selfish, and both involve only benefits for myself. One of them is a truth only one lucky girl knows, and the other is something I've never cared to admit. Transitioning from a thieving and borrowing street rat to a Peacekeeper trainee wasn't was simple as I had hoped, but it also wasn't complicated. Sure, they didn't expect much when I enlisted, but when I proved them wrong they didn't know that I had abandoned an old life completely. I had something new to live for, something fresh. I could start over, live in a better place, have better things. That's what I wanted, really - a chance to rewind and refresh. The second reason is one hell of a secret, probably something I'll deny to the grave. I can say that it's mostly due to my own curiosity. So far it has all been worth it, every second. I made the right choice for myself.

"Ten: Historia Reiss!"

The thunderous voice made her ears ring, but she didn't care. The words were enough to compensate. She narrowed her eyes and found the little blonde among the graduating trainees. Making the top ten was an accomplishment; it demonstrated skill level and it promised the opportunity to join the capitol police force. She didn't know what Historia wanted, but she did know her own wishes. Still, even when the chance of separation was at its highest peak she found herself smirking at how proudly the blonde was standing in salute, posture perfect and gaze focused. Neither of them moved a muscle. Time wouldn't stop for anyone, but there was no reason for her to pay attention to anything else the man was saying. It might as well have stopped for her.

I've only let myself get close to one person, and her name is Historia. I can't remember exactly why I was so drawn to her. She's too kind to everyone, too selfless. Practically my opposite if you think about it. Somebody so selfless like that is a danger to themselves, and she seems like the type that wants to be a hero. Will I know for sure someday? Maybe. She can't be worse then some of the other righteous assholes, at least. People like Eren Jaeger, who dreams of eliminating every single danger in this country. Good luck, kid, you'll probably be first to die. His two best friends might live; Mikasa was number one, and nobody can deny her badassery. Armin, on the other hand, is the most incompetent out of everyone who joined the Survey Corps along with me and Historia. He's a smart guy, but he sucks at everything else. I changed my mind - he'll probably die before Eren does.

I don't care about anyone else, really. There's Sasha, an irritating thing always pretending. Jean, who is about as straight as I am. Marco, Reiner, Bertholt - these are all of the people I live and work with now, and I'm pretty sure over half of them are fucking each other. Even Levi I bet. He's the only person I'll ever show an ounce of respect to, but that's only because he'll chew my ass out if I don't, the shortstack. Historia is the only person I can call a friend. Everyone else I either like or dislike. All of them I tolerate. I still don't regret my decision to become what I am now, though. The reasons I had were justified. Selfish, but justified.

After all, I only live for me.
