Aimii's p.o.v

It was a beautiful day in the forest like no other. The sun was shining, its summer rays were hitting the forest leaves making the scenery from below look absolutely stunning. I sat on a tree branch looking up towards the sky and reaching my hand out touching the sunlit leaf feeling its warmth. 'I wonder...', I thought to myself as I pull away from the leaf and look out into the distance, to see walls blocking my view of the rest of the scenery, 'What is it like to be caged in walls?'. 

"Aimii..." "Aimii..." AIMII!!", I yelled out sitting up quickly only to be met with another forehead that I didn't know was there. 

"Owww...Arn..what was that for??", I moaned in pain holding my head and looking at my older brother who, like me was also cradling his head.

 " I was trying to get your attention but you were so into "la-la land" that I had to yell, you were the one who jumped and headbutted me.", he said rolling his green eyes.

"Well, now you have my attention and part of my pain. What is it? Is it time to go home?", I asked as he nodded and started to jump from branch to branch to get down.

 I stood up seeing the sun was about to set 'geez, I hope dad won't be too mad or worried if we get home late.' I thought as I jumped down following my brother. You see our dad doesn't like it when we stay out late because of these creatures he used to fight. He called them "Titans" and talks about how he used to fight them all the time. That is until he met mom and left the walls to be with her.

As we continued to walk on home, Arn looks at me then sighs, "I don't get why you want to go live in the walls so badly?" I looked at him and chuckled.

"That's where you're wrong." he looked at me curiously, waiting for me to finish my sentence.

"It's not that I want to go live in the walls but to simply see what their lifestyle is like. To see what is the difference between their world and ours." I looked up finishing my thought while he chuckled and ruffled my hair. 

"Hehe, you always had a thing for being so philosophical."

"I wouldn't call that philosophical, I would call it curiosity."

 "Sure sis, whatever you say."

×Timeskip to when they get home×

As we got home, the sun had finally set for its rest, so we hurried into the house as quickly as we can. When we walked in, we were hit by an amazing aroma of our favorite foods, we quickly took off our shoes and ran to the table. Mom laughed at us and asked, 

"Did you kids wash your hands?",  we both rushed upstairs trying to beat the other. I ran in front of him about to reach the bathroom, until my little sister, Kyrii, ran from her room and into the bathroom turning around and sticking her tongue out at us before closing the door locking it.

 "Hey!! Not fair!!"

"You cheated!!" we yelled and she replied with, 

"Well, that is what you both get for being reckless!"

After the bathroom situation,  everyone sat down to eat and started having their own conversations. My mom was whispering to my dad while my grandmother and aunt were talking about how my grandmother wishes my aunt was more girly than a tomboy sometimes and my uncle and grandfather were having a conversation about something they created while my siblings and I talked about which part of the forest is left undiscovered by us. It was all nice and calm until my mom cleared her throat and made the announcement that started this entire tragedy in the first place. "Excuse me everyone but I have an announcement to make...so please just hear me out", we all looked at her confused but our looks of confusion soon turned into looks of horror, shock, and surprise. Why? Well because what she said sealed it all.
