She sat there, not in fear, but in agony as she waited for it to make its move. And make its move it did. Its wide eyes stared at her in a tantalising, humorous, fashion as its abnormally large hands broke through her only layer of protection and ripped the unknowing child from its slumber. "AIDEN!" She screeched, clutching at thin air to desperately save her 5 year old brother as he cried out to her. "GEN!" He cried, wanting to be in her safe embrace that reminded him so much of his mothers. She stared fiercely up at this barbaric beast that dared touch her innocent brother, hate clearly shone through her violet eyes as she acidly glared at this, thing.

His eyes stung painfully from the tears that leaked from his forest green orbs. Her heart clenched painfully as she dared to think of the horrific outcome and before she could register what happened, she had flew out of the lifeless barricade of bricks, and onto the savage ogre's wretched hand. Drawing her dagger, she furiously stabbed at its, human-like claws and cried out as she saw his limp form drop lifelessly to the cold bloodstained cobbled floor. It flung her off of its hand and cried out in anger as it realised they both escaped it clutches.

Her head dropped to the side as she forcefully slammed into the awaiting ground. No words left her mouth as she stared at the form of her unconscious brother, and for the first time in her life, she screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

Slowly lifting her bruised body, she unintentionally flinched at the anguished cry of the beast and watched in horror as it destroy the remains of her home. 'Aiden' she thought. Looking over to the small, doll-like figure, she couldn't see his chest risi- 'No..NO' she thought. Standing up, albeit wobbly, she carefully dragged her form towards his. She never took her eyes off of the monster rampaging down the street, no, she couldn't afford to, not when her brothers life was in danger, let alone her own.

She unceremoniously dropped down beside him and carefully placed his fragile form onto her one leg, one, and one arm, yes, one arm, and lulled him into consciousness. "Aiden, honey, its gen. Can you hear me?" She asked, sorrow clearly present in her speech. She gasped as she saw a pale white patc- 'no. A bone' she thought, poking out through his chest. She knew that she wasn't supposed to touch it, but she wanted to make sure that it was fake, that it was all a dream and that she would wake up to his cheeky grin.

His eyelids shook as he struggled to open his eyes, the cause of his sudden consciousness was the abrupt pain that erupted through his still-growing chest. As he opened his eyes he could've sworn he felt a cool sticky substance embrace his reddened cheeks.

All she could see was green, green...and red. She couldn't bring herself to look away from hisdead eyes, as if she was trying to reassure herself that he wasn't dying, and that their wasn't a titan breathing down their necks. "o-onee-chan? i-is this what o-okaa-san felt like?" He whispered, his voice hoarse from screaming for his beloved Gen.

She choked on her breath and visibly paled as she heard those heartbreaking words leave his chapped lips. She laughed. She, laughed. "You're five, five, Aiden..." She said on the verge of insanity. He looked into her violet orbs and tears threatened to leave his own sore windows. "I-i'm okay O-Onee-chan" he brokenly smiled trying to cheer up his sister that he loved with all his tiny little heart. She momentarily stopped laughing and deeply looked into his eyes. Tears escaped from the bars that were her eyes and ran down her blood soaked face. Before she could reply, her ears caught the violent whistling of an airborne object, a wall, to be exact..

Her eyes could no longer see the green of his eyes but the disgusting colour of red that covered his epileptic form. "AIDEN!" She shrieked. Ignoring the alarm bells that wracked through he entire being, she pushed and shoved at the wall that threatened to crush even more of her brothers body. She tried and tried again, her body straining from the effort of moving the wall with one arm. She dropped her arm to her side and shifted her leg underneath her to better accommodate the minuscule form sprawled across her thigh.

A hand weakly latched onto her struggling arm, momentarily making her focus on his form, rather than the approaching titan which she mistakingly forgot about. "Stop onee-chan, r-run a-away!" He cried as he seemed to of noticed the quickly ascending titan. She stared shocked at him as if what he just said was a lethal poison. "I CAN'T!" She screeched. He looked at her dejectedly before replying; "i know that i'm going to die onee-chan" he mumbled. Amusement seemed to flicker across her soft features as she heard his seemingly mature words.

She sighed as she absorbed his words 'he's only five!' she cried. Before she could argue, the faint sense of dread entered her system, and before she knew it, her brother was snatched from her clutches and into those of a titans.

His light brown hair fluttered as he took flight, but not once did he utter a word of despair. The only thought that crossed his mind was 'onee-chan looks so sad', and before he could be devoured, he mouthed those three magical words to her shaking body. 'I love you'.

He was too late, and he suffered the consequences, yetagain. "Aiden" he whispered as he watched his only son be eaten by the disgusting creature.

In a desperate attempt to save him, even though he knew it would be useless, he lept from the rooftops and furiously sliced the nape of the wretched form of the titan and watched in satisfaction as it harsh fully slammed into the ground.

She saw him, but it was too late. Her own father failed to save his own son, but who was she to judge when she couldn't do anything but cry.

He lowered himself to the ground just after the monstrosity did and frantically ran to his barely living daughter. "Dad" she croaked as she fell backwards, the death of her brother hitting her like a bulldozer. He caught her before she hit the ground and cradled her like a newborn. "I know Imogen, i know" he said solemnly.

She weakly stared up at him and visibly winced when she saw those oh so familiar orbs of green. " he died, dad. Just like mom did" she stated as her eyes started to roll into the back of her head.

He shook her limp form, and only then did he notice the continuos flow of blood leaking from a spot her where her right arm and left leg should have been.

For once in his life he knew that he could save her, he had to save her, because they were the only ones left. "Hang on, Imogen" he stated as he pulled a long thin needle out of a compartment in his uniform.

He slowly injected the murky yellow liquid into her weak system, and murmured sweet nothings into her deafened ears. "I will save you" he whispered as he removed the needle and sat patiently cradling her head in his lap.

He stared at her quivering eyelids, and before he could react, steam filled his vision and he stared in disbelief at the limbs that formed right in front of him.

"We did it, Grisha"
