"Get down!" Someone shouts in our direction, pointing his hand at an object in the distance. Immediately, I drop to the floor, covering my head with my hands.

A large crash, sounds nearby. Unable to see anything inside of the dusty air, I stand to my two feet once more.

Screams of pain fill my ears. Cries of anguish are around every corner. Turning in a full circle, the world is chaotic. The crashing sound was a large boulder that flew past my head, landing on top of the man who warned me to duck down.

I stare on horror, 'No, t-this can't be happening.' Only his bloodied arm is visible under the cart size boulder. 'No, t-this isn't happening.' I say to myself as I close my eyes pinching myself.

'It's all a dream.' I keep telling my self, 'in three seconds -when I pinch my arm- I will wake up and this will all be over.' I pinch as hard as I can until I draw blood.

Opening my eyes, the same surroundings are there. Only with more screaming and blood. 'No.' I look towards the destroyed wall.

"The Titans are in the walls!" Someone screams in panic, throwing their hands in the air and running in the opposite direction.

'They are In the walls, this is real.'

Looking at the wall, Titans started to enter the large hole of the wall. In panic, I start towards my house, 'my house,' I think, 'my house is in that direction.'

I run. I sprint through screaming and hyperventilating people. A weeping woman is kneeling next to a boulder that is plastered with Crimson blood. She is screaming as she holds the dead, outstretched hand of her child, smashed by the boulder.

Houses destroyed on every street. Dead bodies and rumblings of giant feet echoed off of the 50 meter walls surrounding Shiganshina.

'My house will be safe as always.' I push past panicked people. ''Once I make a turn here, our house will be there like always,' I thought looking around in paranoia with my blue orbs wide, hoping to not encounter the blood thirsty beasts.

I turn the corner. I run faster than I have ever run before. 'No!' I thought, 'no! Nicholas, mother, father!' I stop in front of our small house. Though it can't be called a house anymore, for it has a boulder crushing it, making the cozy house collapse under the weight.

'I have to do something,' I thought panicked, as I searched through the rubble, 'something!'

I look up to the smoke filled sky and take a deep breath. Then, I do something unthinkable, I scream. It doesn't work at first, but after a few seconds, it reverberates off the 50 meter walls.

"Mom!" I scream, "Dad! Nicholas!Where are you!" searching through the rubble once more.

"C-cianna," I hear my father say weakly, from under a pile of cement.

"Dad?" I say urgently.

"Cianna," he starts again, coughing and spluttering as I scurry towards the sound of his weak voice, scraping all of my visible skin, "Is that you?"

I finally find where his voice is. He is crushed under three peices of heavy cement. I try to lift the first piece of cement. "Yeah dad, I-it's me," I say in determination, pushing on the heavy cement with all of my might, "I'm going to get you out of here."

Through a small hole, a shaft of sunlight lights his bloodied, worn out face, "C-cianna, I- I don't think-" I cut him off.

"Dad," I cut him off, not wanting to hear the end of his sentence. In determination I keep pushing the heavy cement as panic swelled in my chest. I had pushed the first piece of cement only an inch, "I will get you out of here! e-"
