Willow was jolted from her sleeping state by a poke to her side, for a moment she thought she was back on the farm being woken for her chores, but she soon realised it was one large single digit poking her. Titans She opened her eyes, uncrumpling her form from her uncomfortable sleeping position her tired sore eyes landing on the large titan as it poked her again.

It wanted her to sing again.

Willow swallowed seating herself up right to stare at the titan, her throat sore and dry. It prodded her again as she sat up, it's empty brown eyes on her, poking her again.

"No" Willow croaked, rubbing at her sore throat, which seemed to try to protest her speaking.

"I need water"

The titan stared back at her, not understanding what she meant, it poked her again. Willow shook her head crawling to the edge of the platform pointing her arm out towards the lake in the distance. "Water, my throats to dry" The titan slowly turned it's head following her and slowly looking towards where she was insisting, before it's empty eyes turned back to her and it poked her again.
"No! Water….please!" Willow begged feeling tears in her eyes. Her throat really hurt. "Please"

The titan merely stared back at her, not understanding what she wanted.
'there goes the theory that they can understand us' Willow sighed collapsing in to a tired heap trying to ignore the titan poking her.

Which became difficult when a large hand suddenly closed around her. Her eyes snapped open in panic seeing the small titan holding her in one hand and using the other to climb down the large titan. Willow gulped, not daring to move, as the small titan landed on the ground, using it's free hand to move like an ape, it's other still firmly around her. Willow barely had time to question where the titan was taking her before it arrived at the small lake placing her in the edge of the shallow water. Willow stumbled slightly falling to her knees in the cold liquid not caring as it soaked her clothes, she greedily scooped the water up in to her hands, enjoying the cool liquid as it soothed her throat. When she reached for her forth scoopful a sudden thought crossed her mind, she turned to the small titan that had carried her to the water.
"Did…did you understand me?" Willow questioned slowly, briefly wondering if she was insane to ask. Titans didn't understand humans, Keith said they were brainless. So it was just a coincidence that the titan brought her to water.

The small titan lifted it's head slowly and lowered it in a sharp movement….an unmistakeable nod. It did understand her. But how was that possible.
"Oh….t-thank you" Willow gulped, as she brought more water to her lips. Unsure what was to happen now. Now that she knew a titan understood her, could she ask it what they wanted from her. Would it answer her?
'worth a try' Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves Willow glanced up at the titan, seeing the other two slowly walking over.
"W-what do you want with me?"
The small titan stared back, tilting it's head to the side before it's long arm slowly reached out towards her and it gently poked her throat.
"My voice?"
The titan gave it's slow nod again.
"Why…. why do you, why do you want my voice?" Willow questioned her fear slightly rising in her stomach again. The titan didn't reply to her instead in moved it's hand on the ground, almost like it was drawing. But Willow's attention was quickly drawn away by a scream, a all too human scream. She turned abruptly her eyes instantly spotting a small figure on horse back trying to zigzag away from a titan.

"Melody" Willow gasped when the figure screamed again. "She's my friend, I'll give you my voice, I'll give you what ever you want please help her!" Willow begged turned to the titans behind her, they simply stared back at her, none of them moving, she turned her gaze to the smaller one that she knew understood her but it didn't move. "Please!" Willow begged again as Melody's screams became more desperate, but the titans didn't move.
Over come by wanting to help her friend, Willow turned on her heel and raced towards her friend, calling her name as loud as she could. Catching both Melody's and the titans attention, Melody raced towards her, her poor horse working as hard as it could, but the titan was just behind them, it's mouth snapping dangerously close. The sight causing Willow to loose all courage she had. Where as she had been unsure about if the other titans would hurt her, she knew this one would.

She froze.

Everything seeming to move in slow motion as the beast moved towards her, one hand slamming in front of Melody's horse causing the horse to run in to it's hand knocking them to the ground and the other hand, went straight for Willow. Gulping Willow stared at the large hand that came towards her expecting it to crush her.

But with a punch the slow motion was over, the titan that had been about to crush her being sent flying. The large titan that had captured her coming to a halt just before her, still holding the stance of the punch it had just thrown. Willow was still routed to her spot watching the attacking titan twitch as its face began the slow process of healing. Before Willow or Melody could process what had happened, the large titan turned and picked them up and began walking back to the tree. Melody screamed wiggling as hard as she could against the titans grip.
"Melody….stop they aren't going to hurt us" Willow hushed.
"There titans they're going to eat us!"
"They won't" Willow replied bringing her friends scared eyes to her, but her own were on the ground as they passed by the other two titans, where the smaller one still sat it's hand next to the word in the ground it had written. Willow wasn't quite sure what the titans wanted with her, or how her voice was supposed to help them, but now she understood what they wanted.

They wanted to be free.

But from what? And how was she supposed to help?
