AN: Chapter 2 is up! I'm on a roll... Don't forget to review if you enjoyed it :D
I grew to love my second parents. They loved and cared for me as if I was their own child. Well, to them I was their child, and it took a little time getting used to it. I still cried myself to sleep some nights, mourning for my past life. I took my first steps at 8 months. Ever since I realised I was a baby, I had been working hard to make sure I could learn to walk and do things I remembered doing in my past life. I practiced walking constantly after I took my first steps. I was determined to be able to find out more about the world I had been born into.
Once I turned 1, I had accepted my new life and put my old life behind me.
By the time I was 3, I was able to maintain conversations with adults.
"Mama, why did you name me Liesel?"
"Because you were our gift from God, you were all that we needed to be happy." She said with a smile
By the time I was 5, I could speak and run well. I began to ask questions as I had to know about this world I was in and how I got here.
"Papa, what is the name of this place we live in?"
"We live within Shiganshina on Wall Maria" my father replied.
My face went pale.
"Papa, are titan's real?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't know what I was talking about. That I was possibly mistaken…
"I'm afraid they are Liesel, but that is why we are surrounded by these walls. They have protected us from the titans for over a hundred years now, so you have nothing to worry about" He said, patting my head as if for reassurance. "What's with all the questions today? You aren't normally this inquisitive…"
"Oh, um… I heard someone talking about them the other day when I was playing in the street."
"Papa?"
"Yes?"
"What year is it?"
"It's 840. Why?"
If it's 840 now, then I possibly only have five years left to live. The titans destroy the wall in 845.
"I was just curious. But I want to go to the inner wall for my tenth birthday!"
"The inner wall, why would you want to go there?"
"Well, my friend told me that they wear really fancy clothes there and that the food there is like it came from heaven!"
"Well, I don't know if the food is that good but I will consider it. We still have five years to go before you turn ten sweetheart." He smiled at me thinking I wasn't serious.
I reminded him of my birthday wish almost every day until he and Mama agreed. I smiled. Maybe we would survive after all.
