Without further ado…

Chapter 2: To you, in 2000 years – The fall of Shiganshina (Pt.2)

*Melody POV*

Running, running, running that's all we did as we heard the screams around us. Pandemonium was upon us, I couldn't turn around, I couldn't look them in the face. I was too scared to, because I knew that if I faltered for even one second, it would be over. Safety, security, serenity it was all gone. Our 100 years of peace had been shattered and now their 100-years of hunger would rage. Thankfully, Ell and I had made it in time to get in line to the boats but out of the 5 boats available, there were now only two left and there was a very slim chance that we would be able to get on the boats.

"Only children and women! No pushing!" The guards yelled, and my blood ran cold, I knew that they would let me go through but what about Elliot.

"Please, take my little sister!" I heard Ell yell from behind me, as he effortlessly lifted me up to show them that I was here and as soon as they caught sight of me that they made their way to get me on to the boat but before they could take me, I screamed.

"But what about my brother! Please!"

"I'm sorry Missy, we can't. There isn't enough space on the boats, I'm sorry."

"Mel, I know that this is a lot to handle, but I love you baby sis!" He cried, giving my forehead a kiss. "But you must never forget that our surname is not 'Dietrich', ok. Don't question it, just remember it although for now continue to use it until you find out our real surname and keep Dad's dagger and Mum's pendant. I'm sorry I can't explain everything but know that you must come back to the Jaeger's basement with Eren, it will answer all your questions. Now go, Melody. My little baby sister, you will not only survive rather you will conquer, promise me that!"

"Ok, I promise! But Ell please I don't want to leave you!" I cried into his chest, and he engulfed me into a hug and gave me a kiss on my head.

"Go Melody! Conquer those marl-monsters, I know you will."

"Please move onto the boat, quickly! We don't have time!" The guards yelled as they ushered me onto the boat - the last boat. More screams filled the air, but all I could do was concentrate on my brother's smiling face, as if it just a normal day. The gate came down a lot quicker than it should of, perhaps because of the impending fear that the titans might find their way into Wall Maria, but I couldn't hear the orders, the yells, the shouts, the pleads of help that came from the many people who were being left behind.

His smile, his laugh, the concerning look on his face, his anger, his annoying side, his motherly side, his tears, his joy, his smile, his love, everything about my brother I tried to ingrain it into my memory because… I was leaving him behind.

I didn't know when he would die, I didn't know a lot of things in this situation but what I did know was that I would never see Elliot, my brother, ever again. The gate shut and the last thing on my mind was not the titans, not the cries, not the blood that would splatter, not the fact that I would never be able to go home, the last thing on my mind was my brother's smile and everything he did for me.

*Armin POV*

I was somewhat safe for a moment as I was on the second boat to leave luckily, I had seen Eren and Mikasa board the forth boat and I was able to just see Melody get onto the fifth but I couldn't see Ell anywhere. About to call out to them, my Grandpa stopped me.

"Look at their faces my boy, Eren, Mikasa and Melody look as if they've just been through Hell. We will meet up with them when we get into Wall Maria." He told me, patting my head.

"Wall Rose."

"What was that, Armin?"

"When we get into Wall Rose, look Grandpa. That titan, the one with armour just broke through the wall." I told him, and all at once I could see the terrified look on his face.

"It'll be alright, my boy. Don't worry." He told me although the fear in his voice told me otherwise. We were done for.

*Eren POV*

"I'll erase their existence from this world…I'm going to kill them all. Not even a single one of them will be left!" I declared, I looked afar at Wall Maria and without noticing, tears began to stream down my face.

"Eren!...

…Eren!"

"Stop it Dad! Please! What are you trying to do?!"

"Just give me your hand!"

"No! You've been acting all weird since Mum died! Let go of me, Dad!"

"Don't forget the key! You must make it there! But until then-"

*The Next Day*

*Melody POV*

It had been a day since the fall of Shiganshina and Wall Maria and a day since I had lost my brother, my home and possibly my only friends. I hadn't seen Eren, Armin or even Mikasa since this morning and I was beginning to lose hope. Collecting my bread for the day, I quietly munched it taking in the scene of Wall Rose. This place was where I would live for next two years until I was old enough to join the cadets. I miss home already… I let a few silent tears stream down my face before I was startled by a voice and wiped them away.

"Melody!" Armin, that voice was Armin's. Turning around, I was face to face with one of my childhood friends, and he was carrying multiple pieces of bread. Juggling all the bread in one hand, he grabbed me by the arm and lead me to Eren and Mikasa. A sigh of relief left me, all my friends were safe. "I was on my way to Eren and Mikasa when I saw you, here. Grandpa got us kids some pieces." Armin explained as he gave me, Mika and Eren each a piece of bread.

"Where's Ell?" Mikasa asked me. "Isn't he with you?"

"Ell…" I swallowed and blinked back any tears that threatened to fall. "…didn't get on the boat."

"I'm sorry." Mikasa quickly apologised to which I nodded.

"I've already had one, you have it Armin." I told him as he only had 3 pieces of bread, to which he nodded.

"Thanks." Mikasa replied, biting into her bread. Seeing us like this, a soldier gave us a dirty look.

"What's the matter with him?" Eren asked, looking to Armin.

"That's just how it goes. There's probably not enough food for everyone. This piece of bread is for the whole day." Armin told us, casting his gaze down to his bread. "There are too many refugees. There's always been a food shortage, and you all know how people look down on those from the outskirts." Armin was right, there were already fights starting and it had only just been day one.

"Why do we have to give our food to outsiders?" The same soldier who gave us a dirty look said to a soldier next to him, far too loudly, so that everybody could hear. "I mean the titans already broke through the wall, they could've eaten more."

Hearing this, we all gasped at his words but Eren went straight up to him and kicked him the shin, the soldiers in retaliation punched and kicked him down.

"You don't know what you're talking about!" Eren screamed. "You've never seen it… You've never seen how titans eat humans!"

"Hey you brat!" The soldier yelled, getting ready to kick Eren again, this time everyone's attention was on us.

"Sorry!" Armin swiftly interfered. "He's just grumpy because he hasn't eaten!"

"That's why he's being a brat." I added, and although I knew we should be pleading with them, I still glared at the soldiers. "We're sorry!"

"Hmph… Just remember you brats, the reason you guys are alive is because of us so learn to be grateful!" He said as he walked away.

"Thank you!" Armin said, just to make sure that they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

"Dammit…" Eren muttered as Mikasa helped him up. "I'd rather die than leech of people like him."

"Come on, let's go find some place to sit." I said, walking towards a building that looked inhabited. As we sat down and made ourselves comfortable, as comfortable as possible when sitting on the cold hard floor, Eren began to speak.

"I'll be back inside Wall Maria and I will kill all of those titans."

"Eren, you're not serious, right?" Armin asked, but the look on Eren's face was that of pure seriousness.

"I've never been more serious!" He proclaimed, standing up and Armin stood up after him. "I'm not like those people who pretend to be tough when hiding behind a wall! I don't need this!" He yelled, throwing the piece of bread at Armin.

"Eren, what are you doing?!" Armin asked him, as he just barely caught the piece of bread.

"Doesn't it piss you off? The fact that we can't do anything against the titans because we live like this!"

"It's impossible! There is no way that you can kill them! Our only choice is to live in these walls. If you act brash and reckless, you'll end up the same way my Mum and Dad did!"

"And so, because of that, you're going to start sucking up to those people? Do you have no shame?!"

"That's all we can do right now!"

"That's just an excuse! Just keep living like livestock, you weak piece of shit!" Eren screamed, and at this point I was fuming and so was Mikasa because she had just punched Eren and blew him off of his feet.

"Mikasa?" Armin muttered, shocked that she did such a thing.

"If Armin is weak, then so are you, Melody and I. We couldn't even escape or leave the city by ourselves. Even the food we eat is from someone else." Mikasa stated.

"Weaklings like us, wouldn't be able to even take down one titan." I added.

"What's important, is that we stay alive like your mother said." As she said this, Mikasa grabbed a piece of bread off of Armin and shoved it in Eren's mouth. "Eat. Eat and live."

A few days later, all of us refugees were sent out to cultivate land and grow food. But even that didn't help the food shortage. So drastic measures were taken, as the following year, in 846, all the refugees that were able to 'fight' and above 18 were to try and retake Wall Maria. 250,000 people left, almost a fifth of the total population, but only a few hundred survived. With their sacrifice, the food shortage had improved, albeit a little, for those who had survived. Armin's grandpa was also one of the many who perished, all he had left of him was a straw hat that he used to wear.

After finding out this news, Armin had cried and the rest of us tried to stay composed for him.

"I'm joining the Military next year." I told them, and they all looked at as though I was crazy. "It's the only thing I can do, Ell believed in me. He said that I would make, and so I will." I told them, and even though the thought of Ell usually brought me to tears, this time I was filled with such determination that I couldn't cry.

"I am too, the titans are to blame for this, and I'm going to stop them." Eren added, his emerald eyes narrowing.

"Me too!" Armin added, looking to face us.

"Armin…" I muttered.

"I'll join too."

"Mikasa? You don't have to!" Eren exclaimed as Mikasa said that she would join us as well. "You said that survival is the most important thing."

"Yes, and I will be ensuring that all of you are safe at all times, always."

"Alright then, we'll all join!" Eren announced, and at that moment our bond between each other just became much stronger, we would always be by each other's side, through thick or thin. We would all live and conquer!

Hey, do you like it? Please give reviews or PM me! They mean a lot to me and encourage me to keep on writing. This Chappy was extra short, but the events in this Chapter were something that I felt couldn't be lengthened because it was quite fast-paced. Next Chapter, will probably be about the year before they entered the Training Corps!
