I was run down and tired, broken and nearly crying.
My horse was slowing down, I knew he was exhausted too, and I don't blame him.

I've lost track of time since we left our home. My hair was a total mess and I was coverd in dirt. Thirst and hunger were my last preocupations, I needed to find a place were I could hide, because I knew that if I continue I would have to leave Dante behind, and that wasn't a good option.

For 3 days I was running in an open field, no sight of a forest, were I could catch my breath and find something to drink.

At this rate the would catch up with me and kill me for sure. I knew that this moment would come but I didn't expect it to be so early. I never understood why those people had a grudge against me and my family and the rest of our kind.

Despite the fact that we were leaving on the outskirts of the city, that dind't stop them to slaughter us all. Just because we were born with a special ability and a distinctive mark on our skin, for example mine was red and looked muchlike a rose.

I had the ability to heal one's injuries and also I was a pretty skilled fighter, because I could channel that power wherever I wanted.
And by doing that I could run much faster than a normal human or climb a tree without using my hands and so on.

I was the only survivor of this massacre and I swore that if I get through this alive, I will make them pay for what they've done to my family.

But now here I am, desperately trying to escape those followeres. Then suddenly, I spot not too far away from me a forest!

Meanwhile in the forest

"Oh, come on Eren, stop boasting about how you defeated those titans! We all know that if it wasn't for Captain Levi, you would have ended again in their mouth", said Armin.

"Hey, don't say that! Ok I wasn't that good, but I managed to kill at least 10. Right Mikasa?" said Eren.

"No. Captain Levi killed 5 alone and with your help he managed to kill anoher one", said Mikasa.

"What?!, you're on Armin side too? oh well at least I killed one, unlike you and Armin"

"Actually, Mikasa killed 3 and I helped Hanji catch 2 of them alive" said Armin."

"Seriously? How on earth did I missed that? Heichou did you know that?"

"Damn... those brats wouldn't shut their stupid and annoyng mouhts. Not only that they lost my tea and didn't cleaned my horse properly they keep on asking those senseless questions" though Levi.

"Do you think he heard me?" asked Eren.

"I don't know." said Armin.

"HEIIICHOUUU! DID YOU HEAR ME?"

"EREN! SHUT YOUR FUCKING ANNOYING MOUTH FOR ONE SECOND, DAMN IT!" said Levi.

"Eren, I think he is angry" whishpered Armin.

"I know probably because he hadn't have a cup of tea for 3 days" said Eren.

Back to the present

"Come on Dante I know you can do it, just hang in there a little bit longer. We are almost there. You can rest while I fight them, just keep running, my dear horse.

Finally we reached the forest and I lost sight of them. I even found a stream where I took a ten minutes break, I washed my face and let Dante to rest a bit, then head off again.

I looked back nobody was following me now. Huh, maybe they lost me. But when I turn my head back I notice that I'm no longer alone. Oh no, not again...I stop and hope that they won't spot me. There were four of them, one girl and three boys. Damn! Now they send children to hunt me down, for God's sake, how many of them there are?

Then I notice that one looks older than the others, probably their lider. He had short, straight black hair styled in an undercut. Each of them were carring very strange weapons.

Dante walked on a tree branch that made a loud noise. I hoped that they didn't hear it due to the fact that the kids were pretty noisy. No they couldn't heard it. But then the short one turns his head in my direction, his sharp,grey eyes lock with mine.

I freez.

"Hey! You! Stop there!"he said. of course I didn't listen and started to run again. He started to follow me and soon reached me since Dante couldn't keep up with his horse.

He blocked my way. I was standing on my feet on Dante's back. I had no choice but to abandon him if I wanted to stay alive. So I jumped in a tree and started to run, knowing that he can't reach me up there. I was wrong. He caught me in less than a minute using that strange weapon, which enabled him to fly through the branches of the trees.

It's over now.

"Hey! Who are you?"he asked me.

"Doesn't matter, and you know exactly who I am!"

"The hell if I know you, brat! What's your name?"

"I'm Rose."

"Levi."
