His Steel Gaze

Chapter 2

I can feel myself pale as the blood drains from my face. I'm looking at the wall the wall that's over fifty meters high. And there's a titan looking down at the village.

I stare in utter shock at the sight before me a titan. Over fifty meters tall. My body was frozen in place as I stared at the beast. My mouth was slightly open but no words came out. I've never seen an actual titan I only learned about them in history class and I'm staring at one. I only notice now that there is no summer breeze anymore. Everything seems still and frozen. I'm frozen in the worst moment possible. It moves slightly shifting it's weight and I wonder what it's doing. It stays at an angle for a moment until its moving back into place. Then there's a loud explosion and it could be heard throughout the entire village. My ears ring and I close my eyes until all of my surroundings explode in my ears. Then there's debris of rock. I take a gasp of air but there's no room left in my lungs. My body feels like I've been splashed with cold water. The titan kicked the wall. There is a strong gust of wind from the shock of the blow and I didn't notice untitled now I'm standing up. Then I'm thrown back in the air and I tumble to the ground, pain exploding in my side. I cried out in pain when I tried to sit up. I saw Eren run towards me concern all over his face. My head was spinning and his voice was a blur while I tried to regain composure. I look around and I can see the titans giant foot poking through the gate and with a loud rumble he removes it. I didn't notice until now that people are screaming. No. Everyone is screaming except the three of us. Titans walk right into the walls through the demolished gate. I can't move. People are dying I can see it in the distance. They're being ripped apart by giant teeth. Then it clicks. My senses kick in and visions of her long brown hair invade my mind. Her blue eyes. My home. "Mom." It comes out as barely a whisper but Eren heard me and Mikasa is still frozen not speaking. "Nani no don-" He can't even finish his sentence because I'm sprinting out of the field. I'm running faster than I ever have. I can hear Eren and Mikasa calling my name as they run behind me. I don't know when she snapped out of her daze but she's running too. We only live a block away from one another so we are running in the same direction for more than just one reason. I picture my mother on the couch waiting for me to come home. I picture her safe. The way she used to sing to me. Her hobby for cooking cinnamon rolls. I prayed over and over in my head that she's ok. I end up at the corner of my street and I can see my house. It's fine. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and run for my house. I swing the door open and scream out for her. She comes running down the stairs almost tripping. I frantically look her up and down noticing she's untouched. "Mom we need to go now there are titans in the walls we don't have time we have to get to the inner walls lets go!" I take no time and grab her hand pulling her along with me out the door. I immediately start running towards the gate to the inner walls but I stop. I turn and run down the corner turning onto another street. I run down until I'm frozen again. I'm at Eren's house yet.. It's gone it's crushed. I frantically search around until my eyes land on Eren and Mikasa. They are trying to lift something. I pull my moms hand and run towards them and I almost start sobbing at the sight in front of me. It's Erens mom she's trapped from her waist down underneath a wooden pillar and Eren and Mikasa are trying to lift it. I run over and start to help using all the strength I have to lift the pillar. My mom followed behind me and we are all trying to lift the pillar off her. I feel blisters and cuts forming on my arms and hands but I push myself even harder. His mother keeps protesting for us to leave her. I feel tears stream down my face and I sob. "SHUT UP!" I scream at her and she stops and looks at me tears and blood staining her face. "we are not leaving until your out of here!" I yell at her through blurry eyes. "Even if you get me out I wont be able to walk we'll all die!" She shoots back and I feel my heart shatter knowing she's right but I'm not giving up on her. She's part of my family and I don't leave family. "THEN WE'LL CARRY YOU!" I sob as I push my body almost to it's limits as we keep trying to lift to pillar. I hear Eren scream out in pure agony as a titan turns the corner it gives us a wicked grin and tilts it's head to the side as if we are wild game. I keep screaming no over and over as I push myself until all her words hit me. We will die unless we don't leave. We won't be fast enough to get her out. I let out a loud sob and I give up. My arms drop to my sides and I ponder for only a second. My hand goes to Eren's shoulder and he just screams at me knowing what I'm trying to do. I take all of my strength and pull him away from the pillar. He gives me a wicked glare and moves to go back when I push his shoulders crying harder. "we are gonna die if we don't leave Eren!" I scream as I cry. I'm shaking so hard as the titan gets closer to us with every stride it takes. "I wont leave her!!" he screams and all I can do is grab his shoulders. "I can't won't lose you too." I sob feeling utterly defeated at this choice we have to make. By now Mikasa stopped trying to lift the pillar and her body is shaking as she sobs and tells her mother a million times that she loves her. Eren looks heart broken,crushed,....defeated. He knows I'm right and glances at the titan which is getting to close. He let's out a sob and tears stream down his face. He walks to his mother and tells her he loves her and that he's sorry. I do the same and we all do and his mother looks at us with joy knowing we can live. I grab Eren when I actually notice the proximity of the titan. We start running towards the inner walls and me and Eren and Mikasa all look back at the same time to see the titan pick up the pillar and take his mothers body effortlessly biting into the skin as blood rains down a drop on my cheek mixing with my tears. I turn my head and push myself urging everyone to run faster. The streets are filled with limbs and bodies and blood. We run through streets without hitting another titan and we finally see the gate. It's open and we I sprint for it grabbing my mom's hand and everybody else following beside us. We ran faster than before only running of adrenaline. There is rumbling and I look back to see the same titan that took Eren's mom turn a corner that's dangerously close to us. I push my body my moms hand not leaving mine and we approach the gate. We are about a block away when it starts to close. "NO!" I scream and we keep running. Eren and Mikasa run ahead of us and they sprint in the gate. I take longer strides my hand slipping from my mothers as I barrel through the gate. I let out a sigh of relief and grab her hand again to pull her in. But she doesn't move. I look to see a giant hand wrapped around her waist and the breath is knocked out of me. Time stops. My hand still grips hers as she's pulled back. I'm pulled with her too until a second later I'm pulled out of her grip by Eren who pulls me by my waist until I'm on the ground. I look up at her and she mouths an 'I love you' I stare at her tears falling down my cheeks and the titan takes her body using both hands to snap her spine and bite into her body like she's nothing. I watch as the bottom half of her body hits the ground and the gate shuts. It felt like gravity was gone. My mother was gone. My breaths became panicked and I let out a scream in pure agony. It felt like my world was crushed underneath me. I felt sobs wrack my body and I was wrapped in two pairs of arms and I could only cry. I just lost the person i cared about most....
