Sola's P.O.V

"Momma, what are going to do today?" I excitedly asked as I watched my mother grab her bag.

"Well my little sunshine, we are going to do a little shopping today" she said, smiling sweetly at me. I loved my mother dearly, she was all I had left ever since I lost my father to the titans a few years back while he was serving the Survey Corps. Grabbing my hand, my mother and me walked out of our little house and toward town. It couldn't been more than a few minutes when suddenly a piercing sound rang through the air and the sky was lit up in orange and yellow. I found myself being lifted and thrown back by a huge blast of air, I could hear my mother screaming my name as I felt her hand being torn away from mine. My flight was cut short as I hit the hard stone wall, hearing a cracking noise as my head was flung back. I slowly reached up and touched my head, hissing as I felt a gash running along my head. I pulled my hand away only to realize my fingertips were covered in my blood. Scrambling onto my feet, I looked around me, realizing I got separated from my mom. I started to stumble forward, feeling the ground tremble beneath my feet and my head spinning, as I passed some screaming people that seemed to be running away from something.

"Momma, where are you?" I tried to scream, but my voice seemed to be drowned out by the chaos that was going on around me. What was happening?

"Momma! Momma, where are..." I suddenly was cut off as I heard someone yell

"Sola! Sola, is that you?" I started running, trying not to trip over my feet, toward the voice of my mom. I followed her voice until I found myself in front of a huge rock that looked like it came from the wall above. That's when I noticed that my mother was crushed half way beneath the rock, a pool of blood already forming around her.

"Momma!" I cried out as I kneeled down toward her. I thought I was going to pass out! I reached my hand out toward her face, not noticing that my clothes were getting stained by her blood.

"Listen Sola, you need to run. Please, run as far as you can." She feebly tried whispering. Before I could cry out a reply, the ground began to shake beneath us. My mother then used what little strength she still had to pull out my father's bolo tie out of her pocket, the one she cared ever since his death. She shoved the tie into my hands.

"Run my little sunshine." Was all she got out when suddenly the rock was being lifted up along with my mother who was stuck onto the bottom. I could only watch in horror as a titan pried her off the rock and placed her lifeless body in his mouth. Without a second thought, I turned and ran as fast I could. I couldn't even think straight, I just ran, not even paying attention to my surroundings. I just had to get away from the titan. All the sudden I felt someone grab my arm and yank me toward them. I tried to shake them off, I had to get away the titan. The titan that killed...why could I not remember? I was cut out of my thoughts when suddenly someone grab my arm. I struggled to get away until I heard a girl's voice.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don't go that way!" I heard her yell "Can't you see that there's a fucking titan that way?" Suddenly I stopped struggling and look down at the girl who was holding onto my arm. She looked to be around my age with dark, red hair that seemed to be down to her waist. All I could do was stare into her piercing, emerald eyes. I was just to respond to her when all the sudden there was a crash and once again I found myself being thrown back by gush of wind, although not as strong as the first. All I could do was lay on the ground in shock, I could not get my body to respond. I felt myself be grabbed and thrown over someone's shoulder. That's the last thing I remember before I blacked out. I came to when I felt the impact of hitting a wooden surface. How many times am I going to be flung around today? I let out a small groan, I'm surprised I can even move at this point. I was cut out of my thoughts when I heard the voice of the girl from earlier.

"Are you doing okay?" She asked, sounding concerned. 'I guess I would be concerned too, with how much I have been thrown around' I found myself thinking as I stared at her. Slowly I blinked, trying to clear my head before I responded.

"I...I think so? But, I, uh wanted to thank you for saving me!" I practically screamed at her and I found myself flinging my body at her, hugging her. My body was shaking as I found tears streaming down my face. Why was I crying? I hurt yes, but I wasn't dead. I didn't lose anyone today did I? I couldn't find myself remembering any of the events that happened today before running into this stranger. After a few moments I found myself calming down and I was no longer crying.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" the girl asked me softly.

"Sola" I replied with a snivel.

"I'm going to call you Soul." She told me. All I could do was look at her with a confused look.

"What is your name?" I asked, curious as to who this strange little girl could be.

"It's Lunette" She replied with a smile. At first all I could do was stare at her until I slowly responded with a small smile of my own. I felt myself start to become very drowsy. So I slowly started to curl up into Lunette's side and felt my eyes begin to close. But before I drifted off, I felt something being wrapped around my head. Not caring at the moment to find out what I was, I let myself drift off.
