"stop it, let me go!"

i jolted awake, looking around me. it certainly wasn't my room. i was now in a huge room, on a pedestal stood a rather normal looking woman. though her wrists were chained, attached to two pillars that stood beside the pedestal. there seemed to be a metal wire that wrapped around her head, a metal bar in the middle which rested in her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

i'm dreaming aren't i, what is this place? i've never seen it before. why was there a woman being held in the first place?

i heard the scream that once awoke me from my sleep again. fear settled into my body once i registered the voice that the scream belonged to. that wasn't kyouka, was it?

my brain became foggy for a second and my heart beat fastened. i whipped my head to my left to see my father holding kyouka firmly, she squirmed in his grasp but nothing seemed to work.

my throat went dry as i tried to think of what to say, "hey, what the fuck stop it, stop!" i yelled running towards the two. i saw my mother behind him watching, she looked like she was about to yell something at me.

until a flash of light and a loud bang blinded me, i gasped but coughed right away due to my dry throat. my heart ached from how fast it was pounding by now.

as the light dimmed and my ears stopped ringing, my vision started to become clear again. my eyes widened as i now understood the scene before me. my breathing stuttered as i noticed the black case next to my father and the broken syringe next to the floor.

and next to my father, was the most ugliest titan i had ever seen. it looked deranged, it roared and cried over and over. my lips parted, unable to grasp the sight ahead of me.

an involuntary whimper came out of my mouth as i began listening to the titan's roars closer. kyouka. i heard her screaming and cries just slightly masked under the ugly roars of the creature.

my hands began to go numb as i panicked and raced through all the things i could do. worthless. that's what i was in the situation, i spent all my life training and teaching warrior cadets and i couldn't even muster up a single word?

"kyouka!" i managed to scream as i ran towards her. with what plan, why am i running? i reached for her in efforts of stopping her, but the titan began running towards the woman in chains.

i could hear the women's loud muffled screams and saw the look on her face, never have i ever seen a face painted with such terror.

my eyes widened more and i froze. kyouka had eaten the woman. i fell to my knees, my arms uselessly resting to my sides. "w-why?" i questioned in disbelief.

another flash of light erupted. the titan had turned into a larger titan, though it was much skinnier and it had what looked like plucked broken wings on its back. it fell immediately, it looked more weak than pieck had explained when titan shifters first shifted.

"kyouka.." i breathed out under my breath, "kyouka, please tell me you're still there." by now, tears were streaming down my face.

"something's not right. akari, this isn't supposed to happen." i heard my father panic, i averted my eyes to him and saw him glance at me frantically. i sucked in my breath as i ran the other way, i didn't want to be anywhere near him.

but my legs had different ideas, they shook as i attempted to sprint the other way. i screamed as i saw my father catch up to me with another syringe in his hand.

"dad, please don't!" i cried out, sobbing harder when i realized my legs weren't working as i wanted them to. out of all times, why now? frustration and questions rung throughout my head loudly.

my legs bucked, shakily but before i fell i felt a strong hold behind me prevent me from falling. "dad, i don't want it stop it, please!"

before i could resist his hold, i felt my voice leave my throat as i felt a strong surge of pain on my neck. "i'm doing this for humanity, lillith!" he yelled.

lillith?

i felt sick to my stomach at that moment. did he even care that he just turned his eleven year old daughter a titan and forced her to eat a woman? kyouka, my poor little sister. the same poor little sister that made little flower crowns for me every time i came back from training, folded little paper cranes for me, smiled at me so innocently and brightly and watched the stars with me at night?

and i'll never see that precious smile ever again. because of this corrupt world, because of these stupid adults and their ideal agendas of the future?

how many little kids have been killed because of this, how many brainwashed people are even on this island?

i'm sorry dear little sister, the world failed you and i couldn't do batshit about it. why did you have to go die? your life had to end because of the conditions of this world.
