"Katsuki! Come back here!" A woman laughed as she chased her small child. Her blue-gray eyes shining while a man plowed the yard behind a tiny house. Katsuki looked behind his shoulder, giving her a toothy grin before jumping onto a branch of a tree. His beautiful wings were glistening.

"Don't get carried away, your mother isn't as young as she used to be." The man popped out of nowhere, his plow over his shoulder and hat shading his face from the hot day. His dark green eyes moved from his son to wife, looking at her up and down. "I should know."

"Yeobo!" She gasped while he wrapped his strong arms around her. Her face reddened, ears turning red. "Don't say such things!"

"It's not like there is anybody around, we live miles away from the nearest city, let alone neighbors." He took off his hat and put it on his wife, giving her a kiss before going back. Katsuki watched the two in their exchange. His mother's pale skin - her veins showing on the inside of her arm, the light blue seams weaving. While his father had warm sun-kissed skin from working outside for so long.

Katsuki's mother smiled, turning her attention to her son. "Come down, we should get to working on dinner!" Opening her arms, Katsuki flew into them and hugged her. She almost buckled at the force and sudden weight.

"Let's go, Mama!" The small child wrapped his arms around the woman's neck. Nuzzling into her neck and taking a deep whiff of her natural strawberry scent. Katsuki's mother played with her son's hair as a weak melody rang loudly in the boy's ears. With heavy steps, Katsuki watched as the scenery soon changed from the outside world to the inside of their abode.

Almost everything was made of wood and stone, the walls were layered with wood and rubbed down to create a smoothness that wouldn't allow them to splinter. There was a fire pit with the newest kitchenware such as a 'stove'. The wood collecting never stopped though because even the stove needed wood. Next to the stove was a sink with counters, drawers of knives and all needed items.

"Come on Kat. You need to sit down next to Papa and eat..." Everything was tranquil. The food was soon set and served, a single chair left unused at the opposite side of where Katsuki's father sat. The mother looked at her family and smiled contently with the two males that were a constant source of love and happiness for her. It was picture-perfect for the family.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Katsuki looked at his parents with a confused face. "Was somebody supposed to be coming today Papa, Mama?" His parents were equally confused but then there was knocking once again. It was rushed this time and more forceful where it made the pit of the child's stomach sink. Almost everybody felt the dread seep into the air. "P-Papa? Mama-!"

CRACK

The door cracked, the wood splintering loudly against the hatched that was lodged in it while another swung its way down into Katsuki's father. His blood dramatically spluttered all over the two invaders and the wooden walls. The two men were dressed in black and gray with cloth bandaged around the lower half of the faces. "Get the kid and woman." One of them said.

"Mama~!" Was all the young boy could say as his mother blew into a rage, grabbing one of the kitchen knives and defending her child from the men. She screamed, clawed with her free hand as the other swiped the knife down sporadically. The men took a step back while Katsuki moved back slowly towards his bedroom.

"Katsuki! Run, run away!" The mother screamed as her nails contorted from the usage, bending slowly and then breaking off horizontal in a clean cut. Her nose is now crooked as the blood dripped down slowly. Katsuki watched her tears run down her face and then looked at his father. He choked on his own blood, bloodshot eyes blinking and glossed from the tears as well. There was nothing that he could do to help them. The boy ran towards his room and pushed the slightly heavy bed to barricade the door.

All he could do was sit there while he listened to the chortled sounds coming from his father and screams of his mother. Was there nothing he could do? Why did he run...? Questions flickered through his mind like a flurry before remembering what his mother had told him. 'Run.' His blue eyes went to the window, slowly opening it so that it would creak loudly. He lifted his small body over the threshold and gasped while the cold grass tickled his bare feet. From there, he quickly pushed himself from the ground and started running, the only instinct that drove him to move. To run.

Running could only bring you so far though.

The forest was unforgiving and cold. "Never go into the forest..." Katsuki bantered with himself, mimicking his mother's voice. "But mama- No buts Katsuki."

"Oh, little boy. Come out little one." A smooth and deep voice echoed in the darkness. He could barely see a couple of yards ahead of him before either tripping on an uprooted branch or bumping his sides into trees within Titan forest. Katsuki could feel the fear shiver up from his feet to his head, his spine rattled loudly in his ears while he tried to process what to do next. His back hit the tree trunk softly before realizing that he had wings. He could fly away, he could get help- He could have saved his mother-

Katsuki was in such a state of shock and terror that he couldn't move though. The voice echoed louder and louder around him, almost like a wolf stalking its prey. The wolf knew where he was but it was playing with its food, watching it contently while the rabbit in front of it nearly dies from heart failure. Katsuki covered his mouth while he cried and cried and cried. In the end, he couldn't do anything while the wolf came closer and closer. Katsuki's blue eyes looked at the ground while the footsteps were now in range. Small squeaks made his head turn to the side to see a mouse grooming itself innocently, hopping on its large feet and scuttling across the floor. The mouse took a mushroom and started to gnaw on it quickly. A snake slithered across the forest ground towards an unsuspecting mouse, circling its side before striking and wrapping its body around the tiny animal.

"I found you now boy..."
