DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS OR CONTENT OF ATTACK ON TITAN IN THIS STORY EXCEPT FOR MY TWO OCS, DAVID AND NAOMI ANGEL.


It happened. The ending of an uneasy peace that had gone on for a century. I knew this day would come, most of us did, but nobody expected it to be like this.

That big red hand gripped the top of the wall. This thing… this titan… this monster loomed over us.

It was strange looking. Unlike normal ones, it was covered in muscle. But I guess the fact that it was at least 60m high was abnormal, too.

The air was thin and filled with silence. As it looked over the wall, I felt it staring directly at me. I felt a knot in my stomach grow, like I was going to throw up.

Within the next few seconds, all hell broke loose. And nobody was about to make it out alive.
The gargantuan titan had kicked the whole wall in. Shrapnel and boulders were sent whirling towards the citizens. I had never run so fast in my life.

First objective: I had to find my family. I had to make sure they were okay.
First a right, two lefts, and just two blocks forward. Normally it took 3 minutes to get gone, but this went on to what seemed hours. The closer I got, the more my heart sank. All around me were destroyed houses. Running down the street I could already see it; smashed. Nothing of it remained; you could barely tell it was a house. I felt like I had been stabbed in the stomach.

I cursed and looked around my surroundings. Where could they be? There's no way I could find them in of all of this chaos, I thought to they were already safe.

There was no point in me running around like a chicken with its head cut off. All I had to focus on was getting myself to safety, that's what they would want. I started to run to the gate to the next wall, which would have to be the safest place to go.

Rushing down the streets of chaos something caught my eye; a titan, at least 8m. It stared down with blank eyes.

I froze up and looked down at the ground. It was a young kid frozen in fear. The titan slowly descended his arm down to pick up his lunch.

"NO!" I cried and lunged down the alley. What was I doing? This was reckless and stupid. What the hell was I doing?

Before the titan had a chance to grab him, I pulled the kid by the hood of his jacket, pulled him up and shoved towards the street.

"RUN!" I shrieked at the kid. My scream pulled him back to reality and he rushed off towards the wall. I grunted and made my way after him. At least, I tried to.

Next thing I knew it had grabbed me by the leg and dangled me upside down. I shrieked and jerked around begging to be set free. This was the end.

Before consuming me, he dangled me right in front of his eyes. The normal blankness was filled something. Sadness and pain? Some sort of regret?Tears welded up in my eyes. These monsters couldn't actually feel, could they? All they were mindless killing machines. Monsters. All they did was kill and eat. There's no way that they could be intelligent.

I felt myself start to descend towards the mouth of the monster which snapped me back to reality. I trashed and kicked. I refused to go out like this. I had to fight.

The pain that went through my body caused a blood curtailing scream to shoot out from me. It had just bitten half my arm off.
This was cruel. If it was going to eat me, why couldn't it do it in one piece?

"HOLD ON," I heard a female voice yell.

Within second the soldier had whipped around the head of the titan and cut into its neck. Before it could get another bite in, steam filled the air and the titan collapsed, taking me down to the ground with it.

The soldier ran to my aid. She grabbed something, a piece of cloth and tore it apart.

"I'm gonna wrap this around your arm to stop the bleeding, okay? Then I'm gonna carry you to the boats and you'll be fine sweetheart." I nodded slowly.

She gave me something to clamp my jaw onto. The rippling pain went through my entire body as she tied the fabric over my wound.

"Shhh," she cooed. "You'll be okay soon." I felt myself fading from the pain. She picked me with ease and we came weightless.

The last thing I remember was the feeling of the wind in my hair and on my face. It was peaceful. I drifted off.

It had been a week since the wall was destroyed. I had been in the hospital the entire time. On the way down I had hit my head on the when the titan went crashing down. I was in a coma for 2 days. My body needed it though; my arm had started to heal up quite nicely considering the severity of it.

During my coma I had strange dreams. Most of them were based off of the things that I witnessed and remembered from the attack. They were filled with screaming and the hell that the titans had brought upon us.

There was one stream that stood out more than the rest. I would be standing on a roof in the middle of all of the hell, but no human being was alive. The titans never noticed me except for two of them; the colossal titan and then armored titan.

It was stranger though since I never actually witnessed the armored titan breaking down the second wall, I had just heard the stories about it.

The two titans would always stare directly at me. Sometimes up close, sometimes miles away. It was like they were studying me, but all I could do was stare back in horror.


Going out into the town was a strange transition. The nurses had told me not to strain my arm too much. They were going to do weekly check-ups for a while they made me a new arm.

Before leaving the hospital, I made sure to keep the sleeves of my hoodie rolled down, feeling insecure with only one full arm.

Everything was so crowded in loud. The town had to take in all the refugees from Shiganshina. There wasn't nearly enough room to keep everyone here. I wandered around, keeping to myself, looking at all the unfamiliar faces.

I hadn't lived in Shiganshina for that long, 2 or 3 years.

I was always too busy helping my mom with things to hang out with others my age. I had a few older friends within the first year or so, but they all left. I wasn't unfriendly; I just didn't have the opportunity to make any friends. And now I was completely alone, no friends or family to be seen or heard. They were all dead.

As I wandered in my broken thoughts, I bumped into someone. I looked down to see a familiar.

It was the boy I had saved a week ago. I felt tears build up behind my eyes.

I leaned down and hugged him.

"I'm so glad you made it," I sniffled as he hugged me back.

"I don't know how I could ever repay you," His voice cracked.

"Here, let's go somewhere else," I grabbed his hand and we walked until we found ourselves at small patch of grass with very little people around. We sat there in silence. He was looking up at the sky while I continued to watch the city.

"David," he spoke.

"Hm?" I looked over at him confused.

"My name is David," he looked over at me.

I smiled a bit. "I'm Naomi."

I pulled out the bag that the nurses had given me. It had a change of clothes, 2 blankets, and a few pieces of bread.

"Here," I hand him half a piece. I would have to make this last for a while.
He grinned and ate it ravenously. Seeing him eat made me realize how hungry I was too. I ate it slower, hoping that it would last longer.

After we finished eating we continued to talk.

He was 12, 2 years younger than me. He lived very close to where the wall was broken.

He had taken a wrong turn when the titan cornered him.

He only had a mom, she was a cook.

"So, she's gone?" I asked quietly. He nodded.

"She was at work when it happened. Her bakery was directly in front of the wall. Her survival would have to be a miracle."

I sighed heavily. "When everything first happened, I had some hope that my family might still be alive. But now I'm just assuming they're dead, it makes it easier."

He scooted a bit closer. "What were they like?"

"My dad was an engineer and my mom usually stayed in the house. But she was very crafty. If you needed something fixed or repaired, she could do it. I learned a lot from them," I smiled softly. Over the next few hours we talked about our lives. A few tears and many laughs were shed between the two of us. The sun had started to set.

"We should head back," I grumbled into the grass.

He looked a little sad. I cocked my head to the side in confusion.

"I'm just nervous I guess, being alone in the refugee camp," He huffed.

"Why would you be alone? I'll be there the whole time," I smiled warmly at him.

"Really?" He beamed with excitement. I nodded and giggled, ruffling his brown hair.
