"You piece of shit, you're only bringing this family misfortune!" You close your eyes because you couldn't bear to see him hurting your younger brother.

As the whip hits his small body, you close your fist while listening to his groan in pain.

"You're such a weak, how can I have a son that is useless?" Your father exclaims that echoed inside the house. Your body was covered with bruises as you knelt on the ground.

Your mother died because of illness, and your father was unable to pay for her medications. You live such a miserable life, and only dreaming of running away with your brother and live very far away.

"He collapsed again," he uttered which caused you to open your eyes. You stare at Ethan's little and weak body lying on the floor unconsciously.

You failed as his sister; you can't do anything to protect him from your abusive father. "You see him, Y/N. This will happen to you if you're weak. Weak will always lose," he said as he walked approaching you.

You didn't response, you only remain silent. He knelt to the ground and holds you on your shoulder, he then added, "You're different Y/N. You're strong, and strong will always win."

You look at him in the eyes, showing no emotions. "You're going to meet your owner tomorrow. You're my pride so don't let me down."

Ethan and you were both sleeping on the bed. He was crying nonstop when he learned from father that you were leaving the house.

"Sister, can I go with you, I don't want to stay here. Please I want to be on your side," he sobs as he begs you. You sigh and turn at your side.

You reached for his face and wipe his tears away. "You can't come with me, father will be mad," you whispered to him.

"But I don't to be apart from you," he continue to beg, even if you wanted to, you have no such power to do so.

You were sold from a merchant inside wall Sina, and will be serving a family as a slave.

"Will we cross paths again?" he asked. You averted your gaze and stare at the ceiling. Even you were unable to tell if you would be able to return and whether you would be able to see him again.

"Promise me that you and I will see one other again." He offers and extends his pinky, making a promise. You look at him and took a sigh.

"Promise me that you won't give up and that you'll be brave," you said, linking your pinky with his. "Promise."

You were finally inside the merchant house and find out that they were secretly running of an organization that is killing for profit.

You now realize why your father trained you very hard it is because of this. You were sent to kill someone in return for money.

With your power and incredible strength your owner introduces you to many clients, and gained more and more money.

This is where your name created, your clients named you as the "shadow killer". You know now what your purpose is and that is you were bound to kill people.

You didn't care anything even it means killing anyone for your own survival. You're holding a promise with your little brother so you must survive and stay alive.

"Ethan! Ethan!" You continue to scream his name as tears stream from your eyes. He slowly moves his hand and reached for your cheek. You grasp it tightly and don't ever want to let go.

"SSister...is that you?" His voice almost fading and his eyes were tiredly fixed on you. "Yes, it's me. Hang on, don't die on me." You begged and your voice cracking.

He smiled as blood spilled from his mouth and said, "I-I did see you again...my dear sister." You cried even harder as he continues to cough up blood.

You can't bear seeing him like this. Even though you made every effort to stop, the blood on his chest persisted.

You stop when you heard him say, "Mother..." You saw him took one last breath before his hand drops. This can't be...

You cried loudly, and kept calling his name, pleading with him to return. Tears dropping while hanging your head as you cried.

The surrounding was in complete chaos, the war hammer and Eren's titan engaged in combat, scouts fighting against the Marleyan army. It was a living hell.

The place was destroyed and the ground keeps on shaking. You can't hear anything; you couldn't even hear your cry. Many lives have already lost including your very own brother.

You looked down, after your agonizing cry turn into a laugh. You're finally hearing it. You hear yourself laughing in a demonic tone. You reach for your sword and slowly took a stand even your vision is fading.

You lifted your gaze and look at the Marleyan army that were trying to take down Eren aiming their guns to him.

You move your feet running towards them, smiling, "Is this all you want? Fine, I grant you a painless death!" You yelled and slashing their back, and cutting them in half. You were laughing as you keep swinging your sword.

The army was running away from you, some tried to fight and shoot you but it all didn't work. "You're bullet must be fast but my blade was much sharper."

You charges, hollering at the top of your lungs, snapping them down. Tears dried up in your check as you keep on killing everyone you see.

You don't care what's going on around the place but all you had in mind is to eliminate all the army. You go berserk.

"Y/N!" You heard him called your name, it was Levi. You keep on moving and didn't stop till you see nothing left. You drop your knees on the ground, gasping.

You saw another group of marleyan soldiers approaching. You tried to take a stand even your legs are already trembling.

"Y/N..." He whispers as he was holding you on your shoulder. Finally, you look at him. "...that's enough," he said but his voice...

Looking down, you see that your blade has already shattered and that you are bathed with blood. You stayed still in your knee, and couldn't move.

"You should've taken this opportunity to flee. You should've escaped and lived far away." He said and his voice is shaking, you couldn't see his face clearly even he was very close to you, is he crying?

You're body is getting numb and close to losing your consciousness. You see him trying to stop the blood from your wound on your shoulder.

"Connie, Jean, hurry!" You heard them shouting and calling your name. Your body collapse on the ground, before you shut your eyes close, you see them panicking around you.
