All right people, welcome to my very first fan-fiction and I hope you enjoy reading it. All reviews/comments are gladly accepted just don't put anything too mean okay? :P well anyways another talking and onto the fan fiction! Also when the text is like this " HI there!" that's the person speaking when it's like this "Dam him" it's the person thinking, that all sorted okay then! One more thing I won't be doing the character introduction where the MC says something on the lines of "My Name is -Insert name here-" to find out the names you'll have to read on :3.
I do not own attack on titan or any thing in it, the only thing that is mine is my OCs, AOT belongs to Hajime Isayama!
I sat out in the cold harsh storm, curling myself up into a ball to keep myself warm. I didn't want to be out here, my father sent me out because I stopped him from hitting mother again, when I did stop him he ( to my surprise ) stopped attacking mother but was a lot more forceful on me. Sometimes I wouldn't get any food for a day, or he beat me so hard my ribs cracked but if it was to keep my mother safe I was willing to bear the pain.
========================== 3 Hours earlier=======================================
"Harold, will you stop hitting Mark over a little argument!" I could hear my mother shout at my father but the sound was muffled out by the pain in chest.
"The Boy deserved it, you saw way he was talking to me again! He has to learn some respect before I even consider to stop hitting him." My father angrily but half slurred at my mother, I could tell he had been drinking again.
My mother helped me up and carried me to living room, she laid be on the couch and went to get some water and cloth for my bleeding. I could hear my father auguring with my mother while she was getting the water.
"Your too nice with that boy Susan, if you keep treating him like this he'll never learn from his mistakes!"
"He will never learn his mistakes because to you, everything my boy does is a mistake!" I had never seen my mother yell at my father like this before, it was different but a scary different."
"Why can't father just be nice for once, like he used to be? Ever since he came home that day he was a changed man and for the worse at that." I tried to sit up but the pain in my chest was unbearable, I probably cracked another rib again *Crack* or a few*
I heard footsteps and a smiling women as my mother entered the room with a bucket of water and some cloths. "Now mark, I just need you to hold still while I get the blood away, it might hurt a little" I could see that she was trying to lighten the mood up the middle, and to be honest it kind of did.
"I know mom, we've done this plenty of times before, I can handle a little pain" I put on my fake smile, trying to erasure my mother I was fine and to my luck she smiled back and started to dampen her cloth with the water.
After Mark got I wound cleaned up...
I sat up from the couch and made a small moan of pain, the wound still hurt but it was a hell of a ton better than before, but then my father came in...
"What do you want..." I didn't even try to put on a kind voice, I was too tired and in too much pain to be bothered to. I could see him grunt at the way I said it and it made me smirk for some reason.
"I came in here to tell you your punishment for speaking to me back there like that" I could hear him snicker behind his tone, for some reason punching me till I bleed and have a cracked rib wasn't punishment enough for me.
As the answer my question he grabbed me by the arm and opened the front door and pushed me outside. "You'll be sleeping like a dog tonight, outside in the rain!" at that he slammed the door shut and I could hear locks being turned.
As on cue the storm that was already on seemed to worsen by the second, the rain felt like daggers digging into my skin, and soon I felt like I wouldn't be able to feel me body with the cold like this.
===============================Present Time====================================
As I curled up I thought about the life we lived in, not just me and my family, everyone behind these dam walls. nearly 100 years ago, giant humanoid beings, or as we call them today "Titans" came out of nowhere and Nearly wiped out the entire human race in a night. Our people built these walls to defend themselves against the Titans and ever since then mankind hasn't been needing to worry about being eaten by them.
But I felt it was wrong, we were caged up in a cage, pretending it to be our freedom from the titans when really we just built ourselves into a dead end.
My train of thought was broken by a sudden amount of shouting coming from all over the place. I got up to see what all the commination was about but people seemed to be panicking about something, they were rushing round the place, grabbing their most precious items and children and heading somewhere.
To my surprise the door beside me burst open and my father told me to get in and start packing my things. I walked inside to see my mother looking quite worried and packing some bags.
"W-what's going on, has something happened?" I was quite confused at what I was looking at but I was interrupted by my father putting his hand on my shoulder. He stared me right in the eyes which he rarely ever did and spoke those six words I will never forget.
"Son, the walls have been broken" He had a sad tone in his voice, from that day on my world fell to pieces.
==============================8 hours later=====================================
I was sitting with my mother and father on a carriage full of people trying to escape Wall Maria and get to Wall Rose before the Titans could get in anymore. I was still just getting the whole story wrapped round my head, my father has told me three times now but I still find it hard to believe. A 50 meter sized titan appeared out of nowhere and broke a giant hole in the wall, letting small titans in, THEN another breed of titan came, it had some sort of armor on it's skin because not even the cannons could hurt it, it broke a hole at the back of wall Maria and just like that they both vanished, not even a trace there was just a large amount of steam then they were gone.
But it seemed I wasn't the only one, looking round the carriage I could see that everyone had the same face on, wondering how on earth has this happened and right now I couldn't blame them.
It was around an hour later when we finally arrived at Wall Rose and the guards let us in, we were not the first to be there, there were people crowed everywhere and it was hard to get around the place.
We finally found a place to sit down, a small café, for some reason it wasn't as noisy here, not that I was complaining. I looked up to my mother and father who were talking about money issues, I heard my father say something like "Not to worry, with my job I can get us the money we need" or something along those terms but I wasn't really paying attention.
It was a while everyone seemed to be calming down, the military police said that they stopped the titans from getting to Wall Rose so were safe here. After hearing that everyone went back to being semi-normal bit by bit, even I was feeling a bit relived and that's when my tiredness set in, I yawned louder than I expected to and that's when my mother turned round to be and smiled at me. "My, my, for a twelve year old you get tired fast don't you?" I could hear her hold back a giggle which in turned made me laugh a bit.
"Mark dear, could you take this money and buy some bread from the counter over there, and remember don't talk to any strangers" she said in a stern but playful turn, I turned round and started to walk inside the café and walked up to the man.
"Why hello there young fella, what can I get for you!" For a time like this, he was awfully cheery right now, not that it affected me in the slightest.
After waiting about 15 minutes for the bread to be cooked and the coffee to be made I gave the man the money and walked back to my father and mother. When I got there they took the food and drinks with open arms and we sat around talking about things to try and keep my mind occupied.
I suddenly blurted out of nowhere to my mother " Mom, can I go look around a bit, please?" I added the puppy face on because I knew she could never resist it.
She looked a bit token back at the question and I could see her staring at me, wondering if she should allow me to go. "Oh well fine, but don't go very far and come back soon, ok!?" She sounded like this every time I went to school, always worrying.
I walked around the place, not to far from the café mind you, looking for something interesting to entertain me for a while. That's when I heard the scream...
My head shot round as fast as it would let me without my neck breaking, no one else seemed to have really noticed the scream so I decided to go see where it came from, besides what if it was a titan who found their way in and a girl was screaming at it?
Two things I found out, one it was a young girl who screamed, about my age, she had long black hair that curled a little at the bottom, her eyes were an ocean blue color which reminded me of when my mother use to tell me story's of the sea, I could also see she had some scars on her face and arms which took me back a bit. What really got my attention was that the girl was being held against a wall by a boy that looked about a year older than me, he had short brown hair and black eyes, his clothes were a bit torn, looked like your average street punk.
I could see the girl was trying to break free of the boys grip but he seemed but stronger than her and I felt like if I didn't step in something 18+ would happen.
I walked up the pair, with a fake smile of course and asked the boy "Would you mind telling me what's going on here?" I tried to hide the anger and coldness in my voice as best as possissible, the boy just laughed in response and told be to get the hell out of here before he does something he might regret. At that I sighed and moaned "They never listen do they?"
At that moment I pulled out my pocket knife that my father had given me for my 9th birthday for self-defense. I played it against the boys neck with my eyes narrowed. He let go of the girl who was now wide eyed in shock at the new found boy saving her life. No longer holding back the coldness in my voice I spoke to the boy "You better scram before I make mince meat out of you and tell your friends and family a titan got to you..." I guess at that point the boy broke and started to run the other way, starting to cry of course.
I turned to face the girl while putting my pocket knife, I never noticed how frail she looked before and I kind of chuckled. "You ok?" I knew she wasn't ok, she nearly got her cherry popped by some jerk!
The girl quickly stood up straight. "I-I-m okay" at least she managed to stammer that out, well at least she wasn't physically hurt, couldn't say anything about mentally though. "We should get out of before he decides to come back with more friends!" We both ran to the main street filled with people so that we could just blend in and walk away.
"What's your name anyways?" After helping someone you should at least know their name, well that's what I told myself. "I-t's Mei..." I chuckled slightly at how hard it was for to talk without stuttering. "Well it was nice meeting you Mei!" I shouted before running off, knowing that my mother would be worrying about me by now.
"Where were you mark, you were gone more than half an hour, I was worried sick you know!?" she pulled my cheeks till they turned crimson red. "I just found something interesting mom, I got distracted by it.." I lied, knowing if I told her I saved a girl who was about to lose her women-hood she would never let me go out again.
==============================5 months later=================================
I was coming home from school on the day that would change my life, I didn't know what was going to happen but it wasn't pleasant. I was walking home alone, in the 5 months I was at school I never really made any friends because of that dam jerk I beat up 5 months back. He told everyone about how I threatened him with a knife and to turn him into mince meat. People started calling him names but one of them he took a liking too, "Slade" it was a while back and a boy called him "Slade The Dark" because I wore dark clothes and usually went to dark areas to eat.
I found the name quite fitting and I enjoyed being called it, I had no idea that one day I would prefer that name than the own...
I opened my house door and kicked my shoes off, "Mom, dad I'm home!" I usually just yell down the hall and they would answer wherever they are , which was strange because they would always answer, then I noticed a foul smell in the air, I don't know why but it smelt familiar...7
That's when it hit me..."Blood" I nearly croaked out the word before running to the kitchen, as I entered the stench was everywhere and so was it, blood was oozing down one of the walls and mother was laying down on the table, not moving, not breathing...not alive...I started to cry.
It had been nearly a year since I cried but now it was all coming out, and I knew exactly who did this and he knew I was here...because at the moment I heard the front door lock and when I turned round I saw my father with a knife covered in my mothers blood in his hand...
Woop woop, first chapter and already a cliffhanger! well anyways like I said before this is my very first fan fiction and I would very much like it if you left me a review (nice or bad) and tell me what ya think, until next time :3
