Chapter 2: The Scene

Year 845 (15 years old)

It was morning, I was laying in bed thinking. It had been a week since Cindy told me she wanted to join the scouts. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a monster. Unfortunately it was me and not a monster.

"Ugh, my hair is so long. I need something to pull it back with." I went into the living room, mom was sitting in her rocker. "Hey mom, do you have a hair tie? My bangs are starting to get in my face a lot."

"I might have something."

Mom smiled at me and got out of her chair. A few minutes later she returned with a pink ribbon. "Here you go sweetie." She handed the ribbon to me, the fabric was smooth velvet. I tied my hair back, and made a giant bow on top of my head. The pink accentuated the darkness of my hair, making the ribbon stand out.

"Thanks mom, its cute!" I pranced back to my room, with my ponytail bouncing in place.

She sat back in her chair, and closed her eyes. Then she started to hum, rocking back and forth in her chair.

That was the last time I would ever hear my mom hum again.

-Later that day

"Its nice being able to walk around town without my hair being in my face." I was taking a stroll around town. Everything was quiet and calm, the weather was just right. Perfect time to get out and stretch my legs. All of a sudden the quietness of the town disappeared. Vibrations ran through the ground, gusts of air hit my face, and rocks falling everywhere. Everyone was heading away from the front gate, adrenaline running through their veins. "What's going on?" While following the crowd, I saw Cindy. I called out to her, "Cindy! Hey, Cindy!" She can't hear me. I have to find a way to get her attention. I need to know what's going on.

A scream of terror filled my ears, "TITANS!" The church bells rang loudly, warning everyone to evacuate. Even more civilians swarming the area, trying to find a way out. Cindy ran with the crowd, she must be heading home. I'll follow her there, that way I can talk to her and check on mom. I ran as fast as I could, "Please be ok, please be ok." As I turned the corner there it was, a titan. A fifteen meter, it had longish brown hair, and his eyes were huge. He had this angry look on his face. What was even worse, is that he was running to my house.

"Oh gosh, no. He's an abnormal…I've got to beat him, I've got to save mom!" I ran even faster, my legs carrying me as far as they could. I screamed, "MOM, I'M COMING!" I slammed open the front door. I found mom in the living room,and walked over to the table in front of her. "Mom there's an abnormal coming, we need to leave!" She handed me a sack.

"Take this and leave. Don't look back, just keep running."

"What're you talking about? Mom, come on we need to get out of here!" I grabbed her by the sleeve. She pulled her arm back in resistance.

"No Leslie. I need to stay, go find your brother."

"Why do you need to stay? We still have a chance, let's go!"

"Because there is no chance, I can't run fast like you can. I'll only slow you down."

"No you won't mom, come on we can make it!"

"No I'm-"

"MOM!"

I banged my hands down as hard as I could on the table, and yelled furiously. "I CAN'T LOSE ANYONE ELSE! I WOULD RATHER DIE TRYING TO ESCAPE THEN JUST WAITING HERE FOR ONE OF THOSE THINGS TO KILL US! SO PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!" Tears were streaming down my face.

Mom stared at me, and she got quiet. She walked over to her rocking chair, her back turned to me. "Alright, we'll leave. Together."

"Thanks." I said quietly, wiping the tears off of my face.

Now I just hope Adam is ok, I know he's trained for this. But...there's still a little piece of me that's doubtful.

Mom and I headed for the door, and we were on our way. On our way to survive.

As we ran out the door, I looked to see if the fifteen meter titan was still there.

"I'm glad he's gone...or at least I hope he left."

"Better hurry before he comes back."

"Yeah but it's weird, he was an abnormal. I wonder why he didn't chase us down and destroy the house."

"Doesn't matter now, we'll just keep our eyes open."

We ran as fast as we could away from the house. As we passed Cindy's house I felt something wet on my cheek, and prayed silently for her and her family's safety. I'm sorry I can't stop and talk to you. I can't take any chances, so don't you dare give up on me! You better make it back Cindy, you better make it back! With that, we continued our journey for survival.

As mom and I made our way through town, I saw a man turning the corner. He was screaming, and as he turned, a six meter titan was following him. Mom and I stood there in horror. The man tripped and fell on his face, giving the titan easy access to grab him. The monster reached down and picked him up. Then slowly while the titan brought the man to his face, he started screaming. "Somebody help me! Somebody please! I don't want t-" The titan bit the man's head off. Blood dripping from the titan's mouth, and then falling onto the ground.

All mom and I could do was stand there. Clenching my hand into a fist, "I wish we could've helped him."

"Yeah, but we couldn't have done anything. Come on, let's go before it sees us." We left the scene that we had just witnessed. The man's head was crushed, along with my spirit.

Our ultimate destination was the docks, it was where the city kept the boats. In case of emergencies, they have extras ready to set out. I use to think it was a stupid idea, but now I'm pretty glad they have them. Running down alleys was really stressful, because all I've seen is death. I'm having to look down at the ground, but that's not any better. Blood has taken over the white stones that were once shining with hope. Luckily we haven't been seen by any titans. Mom stopped, her shoe had fallen off.

"Hang on, let me grab my shoe."

"Leave it, we need to keep going."

She laughed, "It'll just take a second."

She picked up her shoe, and tried putting it back on.

I laughed, "Having a hard time mom?"

"Darn thing won't get on my foot."

She finally got her shoe back on, then she looked at me and smiled.

That's when everything changed. She flew against a wall, a titan had kicked my mother. Mom hit the wall with a loud thud. Blood had stained the brick, her head had been bashed open. She laid there completely still, "No it, it can't be…" I screamed until my lungs were about to burst, "MOM!" I ran over to her and knelt on the ground. Shaking her by the shoulders, "Come on, wake up, please!" Tears had formed in my eyes so badly that I couldn't see anymore. I put my ear to her heart. Nothing. "You can't die! You said we would make it out together! You can't leave me!" But no matter how many times I yelled and screamed at her, she wouldn't respond.

The abnormal stood there, hovering over me and my dead mother. I clinged to her, lying my head down on her chest. I heard a shatter, it sounded like glass being dropped, breaking into a million pieces. But it wasn't glass breaking, it was my heart.
