"Lara! Wake up!"

"Answer, please!"

She slowly opened her eyes. Where was she?

Her injured arm was hurting a lot and she tasted blood in her mouth.

When she managed to focus her vision, she realized that Armin and Mikasa were in front of her, shaking her.

"She's waking up!" exclaimed Armin.

Lara blinked quickly and looked around her. They were behind a house and the smoke of the destruction that the Colossal Titan's transformation had caused had not yet gone down.

Had she passed out? If so, it was for just a few minutes...

"Lara..." called Mikasa, softly, "Can you hear us?"

Slowly, she nodded.

"W-What happened?" asked Lara.

"Bertholdt has just transformed..." replied Armin, anxious. "We were almost caught by the explosion..."

"Explosion?" thought Lara.

She looked to her left side and saw that Eren's Titan was holding Sasha, Connie, and Jean, huddled together to protect themselves from some debris that was still flying through the air.

Lara then looked from Armin to Mikasa and reality hit her.

"Bertholdt... Transformed..." she whispered, her eyes widening. "My mother... My mother was close by..."

Armin and Mikasa looked at each other, very worried.

"Mom..." Lara began to feel her heart race. "Mom..." she swallowed a bitter saliva, then felt a great affliction grow in her heart and screamed, "MOM!!!"

Lara got up suddenly, being pulled back by Armin and Mikasa.

"No!!!" he exclaimed.

"You can't go!" added Mikasa. "It's very dangerous!"

They forced her to sit down, leaning her against the wall of the house they were protecting themselves.

Lara began to feel nauseous and very short of breath.

"Mom..." she whispered, while holding her own throat, seeking oxygen.

Her entire body began to shake and her hands were sweating a lot. For an instant, she thought her heart was going to explode, so fast it was beating.
