As a tear rolled down her face and hit the ground, she realized what her destiny was.
I think I'm getting ahead of myself, why don't I start from the beginning.
"Hey wait up for me!" Annalise called out to her younger brother, Lukas Eberstark, who was in front of her.
It was a beautiful day today in Wall Maria. The sun was out and there was a nice gust of wind. Today was like any other day for Annalise. Her day usually consisted of waking up, eating, playing outside, and going home later that day. The usual things kids do. Now let's talk a little bit more about Annalise. Her full name was Annalise Eberstark, or just Anna for short. She had medium length hair, and it was really beautiful. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of light brown. It was so light that it appeared to be orange. Her height was really adorable; she stood at 4'9. Mind you she is thirteen years old.
"C'mon Anna hurry up!" Lukas yelled, turning his head around slightly.
Now Lukas was really adorable. He was eight years old and really short too. Lukas looked up to his sister, because he's never had a mother figure in his life.
Their mother had died while giving birth to Lukas. It was a tragic event. Annalise, who was only five at the time, took it the hardest. Sure she was a 'baby' at the time, but she was no idiot. Annalise understood what death was, unlike Lukas.
"J-Just stop running!" Anna said, while trying to catch her breath.
"Okay fine." Lukas had stop running and walked back to his sister. "Are you okay Anna?"
"Y-yea I'm fine… Come on let's walk home." Annalise had gotten up, grabbing her brother's hand. "So Lukas what are you hungry for?"
"Um… I don't know…"
"Hmmm, how about beef stew… Yea that sounds good."
The walk to their house really nice, and it was also very calm. People talking peacefully, couples holding hands, kids her age playing outside, but there was one group of kids that she always saw together. She had no idea who they were but they've always hung out. The group consisted of two boys and one girl. One of the boys had blonde hair, and in Anna's opinion he could've used a little trim. The other boy had brunette hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Lastly the girl they were with had long black hair and porcelain skin. She was really pretty.
Finally they had reached Annalise's house and walked inside, setting down some bags that contained meats and various other foods.
"We're home!" Shouted Annalise. "Dad, are you here?"
There was no response.
"Dad?!" Again, there was only silence.
Well that was strange, Anna's dad was always home and whenever he was leaving he would tell Annalise. Maybe he forgot to tell her, who knows, it wasn't a big deal if he left without telling her. Annalise began to unpack some of the ingredients, she bought earlier, out of the bags and started diner.
The delicious aroma of beef and vegetables filled the air, the sweet smell had hit Lukas' nose and the little boy couldn't help but smile brightly and say, "Wow! That smells delicious Anna!"
A small chuckle came from her lips, "Thank you Lukas. Now can you help set the table, dinner is done."
The little boy nodded and began to set the table. Annalise had filled two bowls of beef stew and sat down at the table, placing one bowl in front of Lukas. The two ate silently, savoring the taste of beef and vegetables.
"So Lukas did you have fun today?" Anna said while grabbing the two empty bowls.
"I guess… Shopping for food isn't really fun, but it was fun watching you try to catch up with me."
"Hey I was holding a lot of bags, so I couldn't catch up." She ruffled up his hair and tapped his nose, causing him swat her hand away.
The sun was beginning to set when Annalise's dad arrived home. Or course the thirteen year old started to ask questions on where has he been all day. Her father sighed and rubbed the back of his head; he felt bad for leaving the house without telling Anna or at least Lukas.
"I was visiting an old friend, no need to worry Annalise."
"Who's the friend? It's not a woman right, right?" Annalise gave him an angry look.
Anna really didn't want her dad to remarry. She didn't want some random woman walking into their lives and try taking over. It wasn't gonna happen, no matter how much her dad loved that lady, she was not gonna go and ruin their lives. Besides, Annalise enjoyed being a daddy's girl.
"What?! No, Annalise it wasn't a woman." Her father said, face turning bright red.
"Then who was it?"
" , you haven't met him yet."
"Well obviously. What made you go visit him?"
"I just wanted to see what he's been up to; it's been awhile since we spoke. Oh and he has a son too."
"Wait son? Ooh how old is he?"
"He's ten."
Right then and there Annalise's hopes and dreams just crashed into the earth, shattering into a million pieces. Ten!? Really? He was too young for Anna's liking. Sure she was older than him by three years but she wanted a man who actually hit puberty.
"He's a baby!" Eww dad that's so gross!
"Just give him a chance, okay?"
"Okay fine."
The room went quiet, and it was kinda awkward. The defining sound of silence got louder and louder until it was unbearable. Just as Anna went to say something there was a loud crashing noise.
"What the hell was that?" Annalise's father said, jolting up.
"I-I don't know – I'm gonna go check it out. Stay here with Lukas okay dad?" Annalise had run out the house before her father could protest.
Anna had ran as fast as she can to the center of the town. Instantly the whole damn town was outside looking at the giant wall that was protecting them. There was something there; its head was peaking over. It couldn't be, there's no way! Annalise could already tell what was going to happen and it wasn't good. Next thing she knew another loud crashing sound was made and a few bodies went flying. Oh shit, this can't be happening not now, not ever! Before anyone could comprehend what was happening a titan showed up. The whole town screamed in fear, and ran for their lives, pushing and shoving others out the way. Annalise stood there in fear, shaking violently and letting her tears fall down her face.
"No… No… No! Why now! Why ever!" Annalise fell onto her knees sobbing hard, feeling the brush of people's legs as they ran by. She wasn't ready to die, she was too young! Wait… young – Lukas! Instantly she got up, wiping away her tears and snot, and ran to her house. She didn't live far from the center of the town but who knows how many titans showed up while she was crying. Annalise ran as fast as she can to her house, hoping if Lukas and her dad were okay. Luckily for her, her house was still intact and she ran inside looking for her brother and dad. The first floor was empty so she ran upstairs to check the attic. Her eyes began to puff up and turn red.
"L-Lukas? Dad? Are you guys up here?!" Annalise's voice cracked,
"Shhh!" A small voice could be heard, "Anna don't yell, the giant scary monsters can hear you."
Oh thank God, Lukas was still alive, which meant her dad was too.
"Where are you guys?"
"Over here, behind the boxes."
Annalise ran over to the giant stack of boxes and saw Lukas with her dad. She hugged them both tightly, crying hard. All that can be heard were the voices of people being eaten yelling for their lives, screaming for help. They sounded so helpless, and it broke Anna's heart. It soon got quiet, that's never good… Or maybe it was good. Maybe the titans that were attacking the town were taken care of by the guards. Whatever the situation was Annalise took the advantage of getting the fuck out of there. Grabbing Lukas' arm she pulled him up and looked at her dad, who knew exactly what the plan was. It was crazy but it might work.
"Come on Lukas, we're gonna go and run out this house to safety. You can do that right?"
The little boy began to cry but nodded his head a 'yes'. She kissed his forehead and told him everything was gonna be okay.
"Alright, I want you two to follow me. I know where we can get to safety."
"Wait! Annalise, I don't want you to lead, what if you get hurt." Her dad said, trying to take charge. Now wasn't the time to be a big hero, she could care less if she died or not. All she wanted was Lukas and her dad to be alive and safe.
"No dad, just please listen to me, I will get us to safety." She emphasized the 'will' in her sentence. Off they went to get to safety and so far no titans. For once the guards actually did something good. Hey maybe this plan was actually brilliant, Anna could see the boats that took them to Wall Rose, which meant safety.
"We're almost there! We're gonna make-"
A big giant gust of wind came behind them, blowing them away and crashing into the building next to them.
"W-what the… hell happened?" Annalise tried to get up but felt a throbbing pain in her head.
"Help! Help me! Annalise help me!" Her dad called out.
Annalise's head was still throbbing and she couldn't really get back into reality until a little voice called out for help.
"Anna! Help us! Please Anna!" Lukas yelled
"L-Lukas where are yo-…" It finally hit her; she looked up and saw her two loved ones in the hands of a titan, struggling to get out its grasp.
"No! Lukas! Dad! I'm so sorry! Please no!" She got up and ran towards the giant monster and repeatedly kicked it and punched it. "Let go! Please let go!"
As she constantly hit the creature and begged for it to let them go, a downpour of blood hit her. She looked up, eyes wide and teary, and saw her half eaten father. Now this creature went too far, but what can she do? She was like an ant compared to that thing.
"You fucking asshole! You killed him! You killed him! You killed him!"
"Anna!" Lukas called out, his voice was shaky, "I want you to know, I love y-…"
It went quiet, and more blood began to pour on top of her. She watched her little brother die before her eyes. He was so young and innocent; he died a real shitty death, eaten alive by a big fucking monster. Annalise just stood there, frozen, as the titan ate the leftovers of her family.
"Hey! Little girl get over here!" One of the guards called out. He waited a few seconds to see if she would move but she stood there frozen. The guard ran out get her, picking her up bridal style and running back as fast as he can. When he reached to safety, pass the gate, he began to shake her and yell for her to snap out of it. Annalise soon came back to reality, gripping the guards shoulders hard and began to cry. The guard was no idiot, he knew exactly what happened, her family was murdered.
"Let's get you on that boat, okay?" His voice was clam and soothing.
Annalise couldn't help but nod. She let the guard lead her to the boat, when she stepped on board people looked horrified. Who wouldn't, she was covered with blood. Anna took a seat and looked to the floor, still horrified at what happened.
"I let them die… I lead them to their death. I'm such an idiot… Oh God Lukas! I'm so sorry! I didn't want you to die!" Annalise tucked her legs in, hugging them. She felt so damn alone.
"I will kill every single titan out there!" A boy yelled. Who the fuck was yelling? Anna looked to her left and saw the boy she usually sees around with the two other kids.
"He's gonna get himself killed." Anna said to herself, "But… I will do the same thing he plans on doing… I will kill every titan out there."
As a tear rolled down her face and hit the ground, she realized what her destiny was.
