A/N: Hi there! I know that I still have a few unfinished stories but I just couldn't help but to post this one. I mean...I have so many ideas running through my head right now and it'd be a shame to just let it sit in that crowded brain so, why not just share it?

I'm sorry if this isn't to your liking. I'm still new at English and it isn't my first language so if you see a few mistakes here and there, please forgive me!

I hope you enjoy it! This is just the prologue, by the way.

Prologue

I ran. I ran and ran. No matter how much pain I felt, no matter how sore my feet were, I kept on running.

I will not die. I REFUSE to die.

Endlessly repeating those two sentences in my clouded mind, I felt my legs droop with fatigue.

I will not die. I won't die. I can't die, and I refuse to die.

Pulling myself back up on my feet, I sprinted pass the dead bodies of my friends and family. My vision was clouded with the color blood red. No matter where I turned my sight to, there was nothing but lying corpses that were killed in the cruelest way possible.

Being eaten by Titans.

The sight of blood made me nauseous; I felt like throwing up countless numbers of times.

But I kept on running.

Trying my best to push the memories of my fallen friends and family into the deepest section of my mind, I kept moving forward, dodging the blood-spilled ground as I made my way towards the evacuation ships.

I sprinted towards the raucous fray of people, pushing myself through the endless crowd. To my dismay, the last ship was already on its way. Frantically searching for an escape route, I found that there were none.

It was too late for me to go back to the wall gates because by the time I get there, it would be closed. So there was only one thing that I could do.

Jump on the ship.

Crawling on my knees, I made my way pass the citizens who were pushing against the stationary guards. I slid pass the stationary guards and jumped onto the ledge.

"Hey, you! Don't do anything reckless!" yelled a guard behind me as he tried to reach for me, but I could care less.

I wanted to survive.

Not listening to the pleading voice of the guard behind me, I bended my knees. I shifted my feet slightly.

And then, I jumped.

I felt myself lift off the ground as I dove myself onto the ship. I barely made it, knee scraping the side of the boat as I tumbled on board, headfirst. Using my arms to stop myself from landing on my head, I stumbled down onto my knees and feet, scraping my knee again in the process of landing.

I winced a bit because of my scraped knee before attempting to stand up. A hand was held out in front of my face. I blinked as my eye travelled up onto the person's face.

He had short golden hair and a small face. He looked to be about the same age as me. His eyes were filled with worry but mostly-no matter how much he tried to hide it-filled with fear.

"…Are you okay?" said the young boy as I stiffly nodded. I took his hand and he helped me up onto my feet.

"…Thank you," I said as he nodded.

"You really did jump onto this ship," said the boy. I stared at him with a frown as I felt the tears that I had kept from falling threaten to fall.

"Well…I-I just…wanted to…live," I muttered as tears starting pouring out of my eyes. He just stared at me sympathetically. I knew that deep inside; he was probably in pain as well.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me along. I stumbled after him. Despite the fact that he was a stranger, it didn't matter…

Because all of us have met the same fate.

He dragged me towards two other kids the same age as me. One of them sat there, leaning against the side of the boat. It was a girl.

The other one…was standing, gripping the side of the boat tight, yelling out loud.

"I'M GOING TO KILL THEM ALL! NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE OF THEM…WILL BE ALIVE!" yelled the boy. I stared at the boy's eyes, filled with fear, worry, and determination. I understood that feeling very well.

I felt weak, not being able to do anything but running away pathetically. If possible, I wanted to fight…I wanted to defend myself without the need to rely on others who I didn't even KNOW.

My eyes scanned the passengers. All of their eyes were filled with horror and fear, all praying for their own lives.

It was no surprise. All of us had just faced the biggest threat to the human race...

And not everyone survived.

I leaned on the side of the boat and stared up at the gray-colored smoke in the sky, which signaled another family's ruin.

I couldn't help but think...thank god I escaped. Thank god I made it. Thank god I survived.

My name is Rose Scarlet and I am alive.
