Graduation had come and gone rather quickly, and while they had only been assigned to teams not even a day ago, the red head didn’t really feel like anything had really changed. With there respective squads, they were all now officially Survey Corps members. With no need, or room to complain about her squad mates, Eve was simply thankful to have a familiar face along her team, and considering her and Xia worked together pretty well, the red head couldn’t help but feel more at ease knowing she had someone watching her back and vice versa.

Following the group at a steady pace, Eve rode along side Xia and Alexandria with their squad leader sitting before the three of them. The mood had been calm, relaxing if anything but everything was quick to turn in the blink of an eye. Agonizing screams, and a loud nasty crunch ripped through the woods forcing Eve to raise her arm instinctively to cover herself, catching only quick glimpse of her comrades being squashed by the sudden massive form. While some flipped off their horses in the front, Eve barely kept her balance along her horse as the mare screeched out in fear and thrashed about as an odd looking Titan now sat in directly in their path.

Blood pounded in her ears, as her heart thumped heavily against her chest. Fear, and adrenaline ran through the girls body like fire as everything and everyone around her seemed to move in slow motion for her. Panic and terror was clear on the other recruits faces, as the odd looking Titan crushed a number of graduates with one attack. It’s grinning face turned and looked out among her graduated class as if they were a personal buffet, and as its eyes landed on her she felt her skin crawl and her breathing hitch in her throat. As it began to stand, her eyes quickly turned to the figure moving into action as she watched one of the other Squad Leaders take matters into his own hands, and save one of the other recruits from the quill covered giant.

Shaken, and held in place thanks to sheer terror Eve was pulled out of her hold, along with the other Corps members as the veteran shouted out orders after taking out the beast. Caught up in the panic she began to move with the new group as she began to return to a more stable state of mind. Having everything happen so fast, the red head hadn’t even noticed her current condition. Catching glimpses of bright red through her peripheral, green orbs looked down at her hands for a brief second as she came to realize her entire right side was covered in blood. Unlike Titan blood, it didn’t shrivel away and turn into steam, instead it sat along her jacket, staining her skin and leaving her covered in her comrades blood. Grinding her teeth as a knot swelled in her throat, Eve did her best to push past her fear and anxiety as her bloodied hands tightened along her horse reins.

As they drew further and further into the forest, Eve stared above as she watched more then a dozen of the veterans and stronger Scouts take to the skies above them, protecting them and staying on high alert incase action was needed. The red head could see multiple giant figures looming through the trees, and staying right on the groups tail. Returning her attention back onto the path, her eyes shot around the group of trainees as she tried to look for her squad mates having lost them in the rush after the attack. Digging her heal into her horses side, Eve tried to pick up speed as she headed towards the front of the group. Catching sight of Alexandria up ahead, the red head began to make her way up to the other girls side as she searched the crowd for her Xia, Henry, and her Squad Leader.

“[b][i]Alexandria,[/i][/b]” Finally catching up with the other girl, Eve galloped beside her squad mate as she casted a quick glance over at her, “[b]I’m glad you’re okay![/b]” While the other girl was not so friendly, Eve couldn’t help but feel more at ease now that she was certain at least one of her teammates hadn’t been squashed. Swallowing hard, she kept her attention ahead of her as she spoke out loudly for the other girl to hear, “[b]Have you seen Xia, or our Squad Leader at all?[/b]” Waiting for an answer, her eyes widened in fear as her eyes locked onto a looming figure in the trees ahead. Speeding by the Titan, Eve craned her neck up as the grinning giant swiped his hand above her and swatted a corps member out of the air like a fly. “[b][i]Shit—[/i][/b]” Pulling herself forward and cursing in fear, Eve snapped the reins of her horse forcing the poor mare to pick up speed as terrified pants escaped from the red heads lips.
