Chapter 4

Sprawled across her back on the rough bed and thin sheets, the back of her hand resting atop her forehead as she stared at the ceiling, thoughts of confusion and shock whizzed around in her mind like a relentless tornado.

--------------------------

"Akira Hoover...my sister."

Akira, despite her usual expression of blank stoicness, couldn't help but allow her eyes to grow wide, a mixture of confusion, sadness and shock filling her green irises. Luckily for her, neither Reiner nor Bertholdt saw, so she was able to regain her composure without having exposed her own emotions.

"I was your friend as kids, but when you turned five, you and your mother disappeared." Reiner comentates as he pulls a struck Bertholdt away from the smaller female.

"Mum left you?" She stares deeply into Bertholdt's eyes, feeling a rare emotion of sympathy, however it not even in the slightest bit  being visible. He only nodded as small beads of water collected and pooled up at the corner of his eyes.

---------------------------

'Mum left my brother, she left dad and she didn't even tell me about them...I'm not sure how to feel now, it's all been a lie, and I've been left the fake dad who I haven't even seen since the fall of Shiganshina three years ago.' Akira slowly thinks to herself, thoroughly attempting to analyse the depth of each situation, "My life is turning out to be even more of a mess than usual..." She lowly groans to herself, stretching her legs out on the bed beneath her, allowing her head to flop, relaxed upon the cushions. Her eyes slowly rolled back in her head as she fell into the start of a sleepless night.

Shattered glass, lacerated clothing, spools of blood; screams resonated through the negatively zestful house as upturned furniture and smashed windows decorated the flooring. Two small statured children huddled together in the corner, one slowly being brought to tears at the scene.

"Why are mummy and daddy fighting?" Bertholdt chewed his lip as tears brimmed his eyes.

Akira shook her head, "I don't know..."

Above all of the crashing sounds and screams of anger, the two parents were arguing.

"I can't believe you tried to make me believe Akira was our daughter! You're a dirty slut, sleeping with other men and then pretending I caused your pregnancy!? I don't want her or you in my sight ever again! No wonder she's so deranged, you were drunk when you had her and only god knows what kind of messed up person you had her with!" The man screeched.

The mother burst into guilty tears, "Don't take this out on her! She did nothing wrong! In fact, it was all me! I'll leave and you can keep the children, just please leave Akira out of this, it isn't her fault, it's nowhere near her fault!"
