The first thing you could ever remember as a child was ridding in a carriage with your mother and older brother on the way to your new home. Your father was steering the horses up front and was humming some song he could barely remember. they had been on the road for what seemed like forever (you're three by the way so you don't know a lot of things like how to tell time).

Looking outside from the front of the carriage you could see he tall section of the wall that protected your new home. a short while later you passed through the gates into Shiganshina. Your wide child eyes quickly absorbed in everything the city streets had to offer. All the shops and stands that were scattered down the streets and the uncountable people. There were so many people just milling around in the streets.

You passed through the streets making the people part around you until you reached your house which neighbored another house that you had heard was the home to two kids named Eren and Mikasa. You had no clue what would happen with the rest of your life, yet you couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong with this city and that house. but by the time you went to bed that night you had forgotten all about it.

Time skip 7 years...

You ran through the streets laughing as you were chased by three kids around your age. One of the kids had a busted nose and another had a busted lip.

"You're dead (f/n)!"

You didn't look behind to see who had spoken but you could guess it wasn't the one with the busted lip. You continued to run until you eventually lost them in the maze of a city you called home. You were ten years old now and was enjoying life to the fullest. You had three great friends and a whole city to explore, what could be better?

Walking around aimlessly you noticed a crown of people gathering around the street leading to the gate outside. Curious what the commotion was about you pushed to get a better view. Maybe you would find your friends as well. When you got to the front, however, you quickly wished that you hadn't. What you saw was the few, broken, injured faces of the surviving members. Further down the street you heard the wails of an old woman. Looking over you could see her holding something that had been given to her from a corps member.

You almost threw up when you saw it was the arm of someone who was probably dead. You knew what was out there of course. But seeing what they did to a person was something completely different. You didn't hear the rest of what the woman talked with the man about and you didn't care. When they passed there was a loud yell of pain from a man across the street. Looking in that direction you saw a pretty brown haired girl holding a stick.

The girl's name was Eren. You knew because she was one of your friends along with her black haired sister Mikasa and a blond haired boy named Armin. Eren had obviously hit the man in the head with a stick and was abut to do it again but Mikasa grabbed her arm and pulled here away. You quickly ran after them and caught up just in time to see Mikasa throw Eren against a wall scattering all the wood that was in her basket. They said some words to each other that you couldn't hear and then Eren finally saw you standing a little bit away. She looked down with red cheeks and started picking up wood.

You rushed forward and helped her pick up the wood scattered on the ground. As you handed them to her you noticed that she didn't look you in the eye and blushed when you twisted to look her in the eye. She quickly grabbed the wood away from you and put it back in the carrier.

"Hey (f/n)." She said finally looking you in the eyes without blushing.

"Hey (f/n)." Mikasa said from behind you. She seemed angry about something. Then again it wasn't always easy to tell what she was thinking.

"Hey guys!" You said cheerily as if you hadn't seen Mikasa throw Eren.

You chatted with them as you all walked home. Along with Armin you had been friends with them since you had gotten there. For better or worse you had been inseparable from them. That included every fight and argument that Eren got everyone else into. You finally reached their house and told them goodbye as you walked to the next house over and stepped inside.

immediately you were picked up and swung around by your older brother.

"There he is!' Your brother yelled. "We've been looking for you for hours you little shit!" You were then set down so that your brother could ruffle your (h/c) hair.

"James!" Your mother yelled from upstairs. "Don't teach your brother those words."

You heard footsteps coming down the stairs and a woman with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes revealed herself. Your mother was beautiful despite her age and your father was the envy of many men for getting her. In one motion your mother picked you up and pulled you into a hug.

After getting what she wanted she set you down, smacked your brother in the head, and turned back to you.

"We're heading over to the Yeager's house later for dinner okay." She said to you.

You nodded and immediately ran out to see Eren yelling at her mom and running off with Mikasa following her. You quickly started to run after them when you heard Eren's mom yell from behind you.

"Take care of my girl's (f/n)!"

You turned around and waved at her before running off again. When you caught up to them Eren was offering her hand to Armin who was on the ground looking beat up. Later you found out that he had been beaten up by the three kids you had fought earlier. You and Eren promised to get them back for it and everyone laughed.

You sat at the river's edge with them and talked about going past the wall into the outside world. You wanted to go, you really did, but you were scared of the titans. The giant humanoid beings that had eaten so many people in the past. As you sat there talking your hand found Eren's and, in a clumsy way of showing affection, you wrapped your hand around hers not sure of what she would do.

You looked over and saw her blushing but she didn't move her hand. For years you had liked Eren but you had no idea how to approach this wild and crazy girl. Until you realized that she had a soft side around you. It had taken you a long time to build up the courage to do this much but now you were glad you had.

It was short lived. A loud crash ruined the moment and threw all four kids into the air. When they found their footing again they ran towards a large group of people and suddenly stopped. They looked up and saw the hand and head of a titan above the outer one could move or even scream. Everyone was paralyzed in awe and fear.

Suddenly it's giant foot crashed through the outer gate letting in smaller but still deadly titans into the city and scattering huge boulders around the city. Often onto people and houses. At once everyone began to scream and run away from the outer wall and the titans. Everyone except you and Eren. Both of you staggered towards your houses before breaking out into a run. Your family was in that direction.

Throughout the city there were hundreds of people dead and dying. Blood and guts were everywhere and the city was drowned out with the screams of the dying. None of it phased you or Eren. Nothing did, until you saw a boulder on top of both of your houses. You stopped in your tracks but Eren kept running towards her mother who was half crushed by the house. You didn't see your family. You did see Mikasa run past you which snapped you out of your horror for the moment.

All three of you grabbed part of the beam that had pinned Eren's mother down and tried to pull it off of her. It wouldn't budge however, no matter how hard they pulled. Looking down you stared straight into Eren's mothers eyes. She didn't say anything to you but you knew what she was saying. Suddenly you heard the loud thumps of something big and heavy. And it was getting closer. Looking up they all saw the big terrifying figure of a titan.

Eren's mother, hearing the steps, yelled at all of them to go and leave her behind. Instead they all pulled even more desperately. Yet it still wasn't budging yet the titan kept getting closer and closer. You looked down again and again saw her pleading eyes. Yelling "Fuck!" you let go of the beam, picked up Eren and ran away. She yelled and hit you in the back but you kept running. You looked over and saw Mikasa running beside you.

Then you did something you would always regret. You looked back at the house just in time to see the titan chomp down on Eren's mother's body spraying her guts and blood everywhere. Unfortunately Eren saw as well. You kept running knowing and hoping that your family was crushed by the house. You hoped for one reason and one reason only.

If the house didn't kill them the titans would. Though in the end it wouldn't matter anyways. The titans would kill them all eventually.
