Jesla Echo's POV

=Year 845=

The Titans massive hand clamped around my tiny body, I couldn't struggle, all my limbs were hidden inside its fist. All I could do was scream as tears flung from my face and evaporated on its singeing hand. Its giant, razor, teeth, framed by sickeningly scarlet gums moved closer. My tornado of thoughts all blended together, too much to handle, no longer words holding any meaning.

Its mouth stretched wide, surrounding me slowly, then it was jerked away, my insides rose and flummoxed as the ground raced up to meet me. The flesh trap I was caught in hit the ground loosening, just for a moment, I shoved the heavy meaty fingers off of me in a burst of strength. My feet propelled me away, I couldn't help looking back to see what had happened to that Titan that let me escape. It laid on the ground, toppled by another Titan that must've randomly ran and crashed into it. The Titan on top of it twitched oddly like it had no idea what it was doing.

I forced my eyes back forward, looking back will only slow you down, and what if you trip? Don't waste this chance to live! I squeezed my fists tighter as I plunged forward-Keres-I skidded to a stop sucking in air.

I whipped my head around until I found the spot I had left Keres, but she was gone. ...... I looked around more, hoping to see her walking away, hoping to God I wouldn't see her in a Titans grasp. I saw neither.

Is she already eaten? My knees turned to jelly and buckled, threatening to give out. No, maybe she woke up and got away already. I have to believe that! The Titan trained its horrifying eyes on me from its place on the ground, sending shoots of alarm up me. I have to get out of here. I turned and sprinted away. I have to survive, to see Keres again. What if she's-no! I blocked out thoughts of mishope in order to press forward.

I ran on jelly legs, past Titan after Titan, feeling I could collapse at any second and never be able to get up again. But I kept running, and running and running. No matter the screams, no matter the blood, no matter the collapsing houses, no matter the Titans. The only way to not fall victim to it all was to keep going.......

Keres Bernaurer's POV

CRASH

Wha- what's happening. I can't move a thing. My eyes won't open...

I could feel my body being thrown, lifted into the air from the impact of... something. Roars filled the air around me, vibrating in my stomach and sending a violent current up my spine. Something collided with my skin, and I knew there were deep cuts littering my body, I could feel it...

Crack-

Until I couldn't.......

----

Screams ripped through my ears and confusing shadows moved across my closed eyelids, "NO! STOP! LEAVE US ALONE-HELP, SOMEONE, ANYONE!''

Jjj--ezlaaaa? Vha--, v-here ar yue...

The screams became more raw and every bit as loud and desperate, "NO! YOU CAN'T! I WON'T LET YOU-I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HER-''

Tak w-ho? What's happening? Jesla, ANSWER ME! I screamed at my limbs to move, to wake up! But they were heavy, they wouldn't lift, they wouldn't move at all, including my eyelids.

The screams became less coherent and drifted further away. They were the screams of an animal knowing it's about to be slaughtered........

Pounding quaked deep into the ground, followed by another equally horrible CRASH. The screaming girl's cries faded out until they eventually halted, creating an eerie empty noise.
