"If you keep asking about the world outside the walls I will hand you to the Military Police!" An older male has yelled to his younger daughter who started at him in shock. "I-I was just curi-" She was interrupted by  slap across her cheek. she was just 8.

"Ask about such things again and you'll regret it."

~~~

"Ah Dr. Jaeger! It's a pleasure to see you here!" A high pitched voiced cheered at the front door, the mother.

"Ah, the pleasure is all mine, now where is that sweet child?" The strange voice asked.

"Right this way!"

The two set of footsteps got closer to the bedroom of the younger child who sat in her bed looking outside at the moon, when suddenly the door opened as the two figures entered the bedroom.

"Hi there Sweetheart!" The stranger's voice said to the girl as she turned her head towards the man with a confused look.

"I heard you got injured so your mom called out for me to treat your wounds." He said while walking next to the bed and kneeled down so he was face to face with the girl.

"I'm Grisha Jaeger." He said while putting his hand out, most likely so the little girl can grab it.

"..."

The girl stayed silent a bit while looking at the man before taking his hand. "(Y/n)."

~~~

The girls wounds have been treated while Yeager stood up and faced the mother.

"Everything should be fine now, but she does need to eat more, her blood pressure isn't that great. Would you mind telling me the cause of her wounds?"

The mother looked at Dr. Jaeger with her eyes wide before answering. "Oh she's just very clumsy that's all! She doesn't know how to be careful." She said as she waved her hands around excessively while the man looked a bit confused.

The 8 year old side eyed her mother. 'Lies' was what she thought.

~~~

"(Y/n) what are you doing?!" The father yelled at his daughter who happened to drop her plate by accident when she wanted to put it in the sink.

"You're so useless!" He yelled and pushed the small girl on the ground, the shattered glass cutting her hands and legs.

"(Y/n) you alright?!" The mother rushed to her daughter's side and helped her out.

"(M/n) why are you helping her? Let her be." The father yelled at his wife, who was afraid of him.

The smaller girl's mother was very sweet and caring, the only downside was that she found this asshole as a husband, who was toxic to both his wife and daughter.

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll get Dr. Jaeger to patch you up and make sure you don't get an infection." The mother whispered in (Y/n)'s ear.

~~~

The appointments with Dr. Jaeger became more frequent.

"(Y/n) dear, you need to be more careful." Grisha said. He must've caught on what was happening in this household since he started bringing the girl more food, sometimes even warmer clothes, since her father always neglected her needs.

"But don't worry, I will help you out, I have a small plan." He said while standing up with a small smile on his face before heading out. He would start saying how he will help her out, how he's got a small interest in her and even telling her some stuff about the titans and the Survey Corps. How they get out of the walls and fight said titans.

But this time him saying 'I'll help you out' seemed off, as if it might've been the last time she would see him.

~~~

"The gates have been destroyed!"

"The titans have arrived!"

"The God has punished us!"

"Run away!" 

"Save the children!"

"Please forgive us Lord for our sins!"

"Get to the boats! Quick!"

Everyone started running away as the (h/c) girl stood and watched the gates in terror as titans walked inside the walls.

A gust of wind blew her hair out of her eyes as she stared at the Titans, one slowly walking towards her.

"Hey brat! What are you doing! Get a move on!"

A voice yelled after her but she was unable to move and start running away.

The voice sighed and grabbed her, running to get her to the boats while stumbling. She didn't see how the person looked, all she was the green cape and the symbol on it...

The Wings of Freedom.

~~~

"Don't worry sweetie, it will just a small sting, you won't feel anything!"

The small girl tried her hardest to break her arm free from his hold. Grisha has brought (Y/n) in a forest pretty far away from her house. Her dad has been taken away by the Military Police Brigade due to his crimes, he was most likely executed while her mother...dead.

"N-No! Stay back!" she yelled at him and tried to punch him, kick him, anything.

"Stop struggling it's okay! It's for your health!"

She didn't believe him. A body was behind the man on the ground, unconscious, making her more afraid.

But the darkness engulfed her when she felt sting in her left arm, unable to hear what the man 

~~~

"(Y/n)."

The sweet voice of the child's mother was heard in the small room. She was sitting in a chair with a blanket over her legs as a 5 year old (h/c) girl was kneeling in front of her, her arms on her mother's legs and her head laying on them.

"What do you want to be when you grow up."

She asked her, (Y/n) leaning her head back to look in her mother's eyes, seeing her with a soft expression on her face, putting her hand on her daughter's head caressing it softly.

"..."

The small girl took a second before smiling a bit.

"Kind."
