Hi! This is my first fanfiction, so please give me any advice or your honest opinions on my writing. I am thirteen and I hope to improve my writing a large amount, so help in any form is much appreciated!

I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin or its characters, I only own Yuuri my sweet little child.
''Why….'' I sob, as the titans hand reaches down towards me, its large fingers, just centimeters from my face. Crying seems to be the only thing I can do, for I am frozen in place my eyes wide in terror. It's too late now anyway, my death is right in front of me. My tears stream like a waterfall down my face and off my chin, as I close my dark green eyes.
''Mother, I will soon join you'' I tremble. I will join her up in the peaceful sky, and never have to worry about anything. I can live like that, happy and carefree…but no. I wouldn't be actually living would I. No. I don't want to die, what am I doing? My eyes flash open, but something slams into my shoulder pushing me to the hard ground. My hands and knees are grazed but I ignore the pain, so I can get back up to turn around. I clamp my hands over my mouth in shock as I stare, my face molded into complete horror. Blood. Bright crimson blood. Everywhere. It's splattered in front of me like paint, onto my shoes and the dirt. It trickles like a river, creating a puddle around my feet. My eyes follow the stream until they find the top half of a body, the other half in the titan's smiling mouth. My father.
''Fath…er?'' I squeak. His head tilts towards me, his face sunken in from pain and exhaustion. Oh god he's still alive, I think to myself as I look his severed waist. His body lies in a pool of his own blood, most coming from his stomach where his legs have been taken away.
''Yuuri, please….. run….. run away'', he gasps out, ''leave me here…. I will join Alicia and….. find peace''. His eyes slowly close and his body slumps, but he has a smile on his face. I bend over clutching my stomach and vomit onto the blood covered ground. Dead. My whole family is dead. I have no one, no one left for me in this tragic world.
''FATHER!'' I scream, as the titan picks up his limp body and ….. no I mustn't look. I need to run. I need to survive. Somehow I build the energy to move my legs and begin to run, ignoring the loud 'CHOMP' I hear behind me. I weep as I run, and it's all I can do not to fall over.
'Be strong Yuuri' I motivate myself. I wipe my tears roughly and nod defiantly, running even harder than before. I feel the strength welling deep within me burst out, like a light being lit in a dark room. A fire roars through my body as I sprint through the gate, and towards the ships. People are gathered around the boarding area screaming and wailing like children.
''Tch….'' I muttered. I push my way through to the boarding bridge, much to one mans distaste.
''Hey! That little runt just pushed her way through, the bitch!'', his tone becomes frantic. ''Why her and not me!? I don't want to die! Please!'' He grabs the sleeve of a Garrison soldier and shakes him viciously, but the soldier just ignores him silently. This worsens the mans rage, so he turns on me by grabbing the back of my filthy dress. Fury flashes through me, as I turn to punch him hard in the face. He steps back shocked, with blood spurting out of his now broken nose. Although soon after he begins screaming again,
''Ahhhhh, she's a monster! Get away, get away! Just get away from me!'' he screams hysterically, drawing the attention of the soldier.
I look down at my fist, covered in blood. 'Am I monster?' I ask myself. Sweet innocent Yuuri would never have done this. Maybe it's best this way, being cold to everyone. I won't get hurt again, even if I'm being rude to others and selfish. I mask my expression and put on a blank look, showing none of my true emotions. The soldier approaches me, a wary air about his movements.
''Um, since you're a child you can board the ship'', he explains, ''you wont take up much space''. He gives me a small smile, and beckons me to move onto the crowded ship.
''Thanks'' I say blatantly, ignoring the cries of dismay from the frantic mob behind me. Once I set foot into boat I am instantly tossed around the many bodies compressed together, until I'm against the ship wall in my own space. With a sigh I slip myself down, exhausted. The lack of distractions finally allows me to think back on what happened. The humongous muscled titan, which breached the wall. The regular titans entering the town, as well as eating people. My father… I grit my teeth, refusing to let the tears escape. Why? Why did my father choose to sacrifice himself now? The selfish bastard! Choosing the easy way out, just to be with Mother!
No, if that was the case then why….? Why didn't he do it years ago!? Suddenly the truth dawns on me, making the tears finally flow down my cheeks and clenched jaw. Just one more time. All along he was keeping himself alive for me wasn't he!? Even though he did nothing, never helped with anything he stayed with me! His presence was enough…. and I realize that it was. Having him there made me feel safe, knowing that I would always have someone connected to me but now…..
''He's gone….'' I whisper. My words are drowned out by an explosion at the gate, where a gigantic titan with armored like skin stands. It has broken through the gates. The titans are going to invade more and more and more. I can hear others weeping and screeching,
''It's all over!''
''The titans will eat us all!''
But one voice different from the rest catches my attention. Hope surges through my body as I turn towards the yelling voice.
''I'm going to kill them all. Not even a single one of them will be left!'', he snarled with a vicious look in his emerald eyes.
I can't stop myself, forgetting everything I had promised myself earlier. I forget about being cold, showing no emotion and not calling out to anyone ever again. But that's just what I do. I guess I never really could hold a promise, not even to myself…..
''Eren!?''
So did you like it? In the next chapter they finally meet! Although I don't know if i'll go straight into when she joins the trainee squad. Be patient, be patient Jean and Levi will get some Yuuri too! Make sure to leave reviews please!
