"You have to stay strong Y/N," my father spoke keeping his hands on my cheeks. Tears escapes my eyes as I stared into his. His thumbs rubbed back and forth on my cheeks, wiping the tears away as they fell. "Can you be strong?" 

I nod my head up and down, slowly, feeling many eyes on us. Before feeling my father pull me close, embracing me in a hug. He squeezes me tightly, giving me gentle kisses on top of my head before slowly pulling away. As he does I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to meet my mother's eyes. Tears overwhelmed them as did mine. So I immediately wrap my arms around her, burying my face into her shirt at her stomach. The hug doesn't last long as she pulls me away, bending down to my height.

A small smile spreads to her lips. Her hands reach up wiping at my face. I stare back at the woman before me, shaking my head from side to side. Her eyes look back and forth between my eyes before I feel her fingers pinch my chin, lifting my head up a bit. 

"You're strong, Y/N," she whispers through tears. "Your father and I are so proud of you." 

"P-P-Please. Don't leave m-me," I whisper, the tears rising once again. My mother picks up her other hand, placing it on my cheek. I close my eyes a moment, biting my bottom lip feeling it trembling. 

"We're not leaving," my father spoke up. My eyes open and I'm met with his sorrow eyes. He places his hand on my mother's shoulder, glancing between the two of us before settling his eyes on mine. "We're always going to be...here." He leaned forward, pointing to my chest with his pointer finger. Slowly, I look down seeing he's referring to my  heart. 

"It's time," Jaha's voice rings throughout the small space. Quickly, I leaned into my mother closing my eyes. I feel her arms wrap back around me, soon followed by my father.

"May we meet again," I hear my father faintly whisper, before I feel their arms no longer around me. Instead my eyes flicker to where they're lead as another set of arms wrap around me. I look over my shoulder to find Abby Griffin. But I don't bother to do anything about it. I focus back on my parents, tears slipping faster than before as Jaha nods his head to one of the guardsmen. And within moments a button is pressed and a scared but brave expression  flashes through my parents faces...

I jump awake feeling my breathes uneven. I close my eyes, regretting sitting up so fast, but knowing I didn't really have a choice. Once I managed to calm myself a bit, I go to reach up my hands, realizing they're bound together. I open my eyes quickly, before closing them and continuing to reach up to my head. My fingers glide through my forehead feeling a wet substance, which could only mean on thing. Blood. 

I flinch, pulling my hands down. My eyes open slowly to meet my bloody fingers. I roll my eyes going to adjust my sitting position feeling a gentle hand on my knee. Quickly, I move away glancing up. I'm met with a young girl with beautiful green eyes. Her clothes were jacked up. Ripped and a bit dirty. She wore a piece of clothing as a headband, as her hair was braided back. My eyes scanned her, looking around at where I was, but she brought my attention back by standing up. Her green eyes staying on me while her face remained emotionless.
