I'm (y/n) (l/n). I was born in Shiganshina, and raised in the outskirts inside Wall Maria itself. I was raised a hunter by my brother, our father was in the scouts so he was posted at the scout's HQ in the south side of Wall Rose. We got to see him —at the very most— 4 days out of the month. 2 of those days he'd spend taking us hunting and, call him a shitty dad if you want, but he taught my brother n I how to drink. Told us "if you haven't had your first sip of dad's flask by the time you're 12, y'ain't gon get any hair on y'all's chests." Which, looking back on it now, was probably a pretty shitty thing to say to coerce your kids into gettin a sip. Today was one of those days, except we took a walk to Shiganshina today. We didn't know what was about to happen, how it'd shape mine and my brother's lives for good.After making it thru the gate into the district, we started makin our way toward the market, usually, dad'd find some girls my brother's age and try to get him outta his shell and talk to women instead of being in a shell his whole life.
"Son, you ready to find yourself a girl today? You're 14 years old and I still have to bring the girls to you." He asked.
"I don't know dad, the options here aren't exactly the bes-" dad cut him off
"Fuck your "options" Adrian. When I was growing up, we didn't have choices in women. You looked for loyalty, not beauty. There's a surefire way to get hurt, if you look for beauty 'lone." He said, putting his flask to his mouth, then quickly putting it back in his pocket. We were about to turn the corner to the market, when a pretty girl stopped Adrian by tugging his sleeve. He turned and saw a girl bout his age give or take.
"H-hey there ma'am?" He said sheepishly, any more nervous and he'd be sweating streams.
"*giggle* hello there handsome, you've got a name right?" She asked, I looked to see dad continuing to walk, I understood why and left Adrian with a subtle "don't fuck this up" look and waved bye, running to catch up to dad.
"Don't worry Junior, you'll get that age soon 'nuff." He said with a smile towards me. I just looked down in defeat, kinda feeling jealous of my older brother.
"Here, let's go get some more rounds for the rif-" he was cut off by a loud crash of lightning from the sky that let off a boom strong enough to jump me into the air.
I somehow managed to land on my feet, stumbling a bit. I looked up at dad and he was just gazing towards the South Gate to titan country. I looked and saw it. A giant hand made of no skin, just muscle. It had its hands on the wall, bringing itself up to a standing position. He looked at us for a second. It looked as though he was leaning his body forward and then slowly brought himself backwards. Just as that happened, it became clear, very fucking clear, that the wall was kicked in. You saw giant chunks of debris flying through the air, landing on houses and some people. I looked to see Adrian running back towards us with the girl he was talking to in tow. Dad grabbed me and started to carry me as we all ran out back to the gate. No words were said, they just got everything together and we started running for the hills. Literally.
After a minute, we had probably ran a mile or so past the gate into Wall Maria.
"What in the goddamn name of the walls was THAT?!" Adrian said, wheezing for breath as the lady he was with was in no better shape.
"Regardless, we need to get back to the holler. Ma'am, you're more than welcome to tag along with us, but we'll be understanding if you need to find your family." Dad had said, letting my out of his grip and standing on my own two feet. "Don't feel like I'm trying to discourage you from your choices, you have your own life as well. Ain't that right son?" He said nudging Adrian. He gave a slight nod and said "yeah, what he said. I'm sorry, I'm still a little shook. Dad, do you have a cigarette or a weed by chance?" He said very shakily.
