Chapter 7

My mom stopped hugging me.

"Wh-what?! H-how do you know about the w-walls?!" she spluttered, aghast.

"I searched it up," I told her. "I don't want to have secrets kept from me anymore." I turned my attention back to Levi and repeated my question,"So, which wall do we live in?"

My father refused to meet my eyes as he replied in a low voice,"Wall Rose. We live in Wall Rose." The air froze around me. Something hot flared up inside of me.

"WHAT?!" I exploded. "DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT WE WERE SITTING AROUND HERE IN THE MOST INNER WALL, PROTECTED, WHILE OTHERS WHO DON'T HAVE MONEY TO EVEN FEED THEIR FAMILIES DIED?!?!" Levi flinched, but didn't say anything. I continued shouting and screaming at him, but this time the words that escaped my mouth were curses that I've never used before. But I don't care. He deserved it anyway.

Everything was wrong. It wasn't fair. Why must those who were so poor they couldn't even eats take bread to survive experience death while we, the rich snobs, sit back and relax? Why must the peasants have no protection so that they won't die? Why? Why? I hated myself in that moment. Everything was just so wrong.

"I'm sorry," my father's voice snapped me out of my sudden burst of anger. The heat in my heart subsided and in its place was confusion, sadness, regret, grief, guilt, and shock. I stopped shouting and yelling and just looked at my dad as hot tears flowed down my cheeks.

Levi clenched his fists as he, for the first time since I've met him, said with a hint of guilt,"It's my fault. I'm the one to be blamed. Hell, I was there when it happened! I wasn't even able to save one little brat! They all died before my eyes. People screamed and fell, blood splattering everywhere. Then they ate them. Those damn Titans devoured the citizens."His eyes turned red with fury. "Those stupid demons are them all. The blood of those who died are still tainted on my hands. I'll never forgive myself."

Silence lapsed into the room. He couldn't save them. Humanity's greatest soldier, the last hope, failed to protect everyone. He let them die. Every single one of them. My mom ran to my dad and took his hands in hers. Tears moistened her once twinkling blue eyes. They were now a dull shade of gray.

"Honey, it w-wasn't all you f-fault" my mom consoled him as she fought the urge to cry. "So please. Please don't blame yourself for the mistakes of mankind. You did your best, okay? You tried to save them. You tried."

Tried. A word I hated in this world. Someone tried to do their best. Someone tried to save the world, but failed. Tried. When something tries to happen, it always fails. It will never succeed. Never.

My mom continued sobbing and comforting Levi at the same time. But nothing can work now. The damage is done. No one can go back now.

But someone can stand up and help those who have given up. That person will be me. I won't let Titans rule over our fears anymore. I'm going to take action. I will change this cruel and filthy world. I know that I can.
