Falling- An Attack On Titan Story

Hope And Starvation

The sun shimmered over us as we stood there talking. Talking about the sea. About the salt and the sparkles the sun cast off of it. Another reason I should become a scout. To see the ocean. A big body of salty water. Hopefully destiny will let me go there. With Eren and Armin and Mikasa. The sea. Sounds so beautiful and wonderful. I wish that was how I felt about life so far. Beautiful and wonderful but I can't because currently as I'm speaking my life is filled with screamed and heartbreaks. Tears rushing from eyes as we mourn our losses from the invasion.  

We looked up as people screamed in agony. A titan. The first one i've ever seen. A titan bigger than the walls.  This was groundbreaking if you think about it. I titan so huge and tall that you could see it's head over the walls. It's not amazing in my situation. 

The titans are breaking through! A different titan. Smaller and has tan plates all over it's body like shields. Breaks through the gate with one huge kick. Sending debris flying. It flies over to where... Eren's house is. Where his mom if peacefully cleaning! 

"Your mom!" I shout, darting for the house. Eren realizes and runs to it too. Mikasa also does. Picking up her skirt. We  find her laying under a crumbled house. She's crying. 

"GET HER OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THIS. WE CAN HELP HER GET TO THE SHIP!" Eren shouts. 

"No," She begs,"I'll slow you down. You won't make it in time"

We all try to life up the debris off her. She keeps begging us to go. Then I see it. The titan. It stumbles it's way towards us. I run to it. Stomping its foot. Big mistake. It is about to pick me up when Hannes grabs me and hauls me away. Taking a glance at the titan before picking the other two up.

"DON'T LEAVE MY MOM BEHIND!" Eren says, pounding him in the chest and back. He winces  and keeps going.

"HANNES YOU LITTLE-" I shout. Kicking him in the balls. 

We watch as the titans pick up their mom and eats her. Spraying blood everywhere. I watch Eren's face. It's the first time i've ever seen him so sad. So undetermined...

I kick him again.  

"Ouch! You damn stubborn children. You would've gotten eaten if it weren't for me." 

Mikasa sits there silent as he helps us aboard the evacuation ship.

We sat that entire ride staring out at the sea. Stunned and mourning. The mother figure I had was gone. Dead. A tear rushed from my eyes. Mikasa hugged me. I didn't gaze up at her. I knew she was hurting too. 

Now we're sitting here. In wall rose. Wondering what to do next. It's been a week since our mother got killed. We're on the verge of starvation. It's so hard to get a stale loaf of bread. Not to mention a steak. 

Armin comes over with something in his hands. We're still gazing out. But at the wall. Outside that wall lays our dead mom and a bunch of stupid stupid titans. I hate them. THEY WILL DIE. ME AND EREN WILL AVENGE OUR MOM. WE WILL. I keep silent as Armin hands me a piece of bread. 

"I know you guys have been through a lot-" He says. Interrupted by Eren.

"You think?!? I just watched my mom get devoured!" He says pushing Armin backwards. He almost loses the grip of the bread. Our only meal. 

"Eren!" Mikasa shouts,"That's the only food we have!"
