Trusting that irksome Shortie (Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan Fanfiction)

♞ 01 : It was all an illusion

 Chapter 01

YEAR 845

"Big sis! Let's go home! I'm getting hungry!" complained my younger sister, Chichi. Then we both heard a growl from my younger sister's tummy.

I smiled at her and took her little hands, "Hmm, it really sounds like you're hungry. That little tiger on your tummy can't hold back it's roar!"

"Of course Big sis! I never knew that buying supplies from the market was this hard! And to top it off, it's very tiring too!"

As we walk home together let me first introduce myself. I'm Lumiere Merveille or fondly called 'Lumii' by my family and closest friends. The hungry girl beside me is Chiara Merveille or 'Chichi' for short. We're 5 years apart. I'm currently 10 years old while she is 5.

After the short walk, we finally arrived at our humble abode. I opened the door and we saw Mom and Dad waiting for us on the table.

"Mom! Dad!" both of us exclaimed. We both gave them a kiss on the cheek.

"Lumii, Chichi, I'm glad that you're finally home. Come on let's eat our lunch."

We all seated around the table and started eating our very simple lunch, after all we're just a simple family. My Dad works as a farmer while my Mom is the one who takes care of us. We live in the Shiganshina District inside Wall Maria. I must say that I am very contented with my life but I still can't ignore the feeling of being trapped inside this humongous walls.

Why can't we explore the world that was really meant for us? Tss. It's because of those Titans. Those giant and brainless monsters caused nothing but trouble ever since they became a natural enemy of humans. They are the reason why the people had to trapped themselves into these Walls.

However, I'm really grateful for those walls because if it's not there then I'm sure that I won't even have the chance to be born into this world. But sometimes I wonder....until when can we live with this 'peace'?

The Wall has been keeping us safe for at least a century but we all know that it's not going to be forever right?

"Lumii..."

What will happen to mankind when that time —

"Lumii!" I was surprised when Dad called me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I haven't even heard him. "Lumii, are you okay? You've been staring for quite some time now.", Dad asked with worry written all over his face.

"Dad, I'm okay. I'm just wondering how Mom was able to make such a fine dish out of such simple ingredients!" I said with a big grin on my face.

Mom laughed at what I said, "You silly child! Don't flatter me too much, I might end up believing it!"

Actually, what I just said is very true. Mom really had exceptional cooking skills but I guess that she's too humble to admit it. We talked about random things while having lunch. I guess that small things like these can really make someone feel contented. There is really nothing more that I can ask for.
