Star: Hello minna! Here is the third chapter. I'm going to tell you guys this now, the next two or three chapter are going to focused on Seylum and James for a bit. Just a heads up.

I own only my oc. The song Seylum sings is the Wings of Freedom cover by the amazing Amanda Lee. I recommend listening to it and her other covers.

Impossible. The wall was fifty meters high and the tallest titan had to be fifteen meter tops. This had to all be a bad dream. The grip on her shirt along with fearful whimpers brought Seylum's attention to the five year old on her back. Her heart broke as she looked into fearful blue eyes.

"SeySey…" He whimpered.

Before she could even respond, a strong wind blew through the town, debris flying everywhere. James let out a scream as he clung to Seylum, who struggled to stay up. Once it died down, Seylum instantly looked towards the wall, her stomach dropping at the sight of the gaping hole in the wall.

"It…It blasted a hole…" Armin stuttered as they all stared in fear, some people backing away." Like it was kicking a rock.."

Instantly, screams filled the air as people ran in fear as tian came through the breach. Seylum could hear Armin say something and the desperate tugs on her shirt from her brother, but Seylum paid no attention to them. Instead her mind drifted back to early that day.

"I want you and your brother back home by sun down."

"Is it possible…."

"Mikasa!"

Seylum snapped out of it as Armin called out to the oriental who ran after her brother. A sickening feeling washed over her.

"James, get off my back and go with Armin." Seylum said, only for James to tighten his grip on her shirt.

She looked over at Armin, who stood there petrified.

"Armin!" The blond looked over at her. "Take James and go!"

"S-Seylum, w-wh-"

"I'm going after them! James get off, Now!"

James shook his head, refusing to budge as Seylum let out a frustrated growl.

"James, I promise I will be right behind you, but first I have to get Eren and Mikasa, Okay?"

James looked at his sister, fearfully before reluctantly get off her back. The second James's feet touched the ground, Seylum ran in the direction Mikasa took off in. Some people looked at her at like she was crazy as she ran in opposite direction, some adults yelling at her that she was going to get killed at turn back.

"Eren, Mikasa please be okay!" Seylum prayed as she rounded the corner, only to bump into someone.

"I'm sorry!" She apologized as she tried to around the person, only for them to pick her up and throw her over their shoulder, run in the other direction while the young girl struggled. "H-Hey! Let me go!"

"It's too dangerous, Seylum."

The young girl let gasp as she looked at the man. "Uncle Aiden?.."

"Where is your brother?" Aiden asked, a little to calm for Seylum.

"He's with Armin…" She replied before snapping out of her daze.

Aiden let out a grunt as Seylum started to punch him, her anger growing. "You bastard! You knew, you knew this would happen, didn't you?!"

"Seylum, Calm do-"

"Screw yo-" Seylum's voice caught in her throat.

She watched as a titan, grinning as it lifted someone from the debris. Her eyes widened as she watched the person put an useless fight. Aiden looked over his shoulder briefly before looking back, his grip on his nieces as her struggling became worst. "Seyl-"

"WE HAVE TO HELP HER!" Seylum screamed, tears falling down her cheeks as the titan wrapped it other hand around the woman's upper body." LET HER GO!"

"Seylum, there is nothing we can do for her!" Aiden said as Seylum screamed. "You ha-"

A feeling of dread washed over him as Seylum went still. He looked over at her, the feeling growing worst as Seylum's eyes widened with horror. Her blue eyes locked on the titan as it lifted the woman's body to its mouth.

"Stop…" She whispered, her voice so quiet, it was as if she was mouthing the words"..Please…"

Aiden flinched slightly as she dug her nails into his shoulder. "Seylum, listen to me. You have to stay calm."

The young girl ignored him, her eyes locked on the titan as it bit down on Carla's body. Images of the woman flashed in front of her eyes. Her smile, her eyes, every little detail she could remember of her mother's best friend flashed in front of her as the blood splatted on the pavement. Suddenly the pulsing sensation from before rushed over her, her blood pounding in her ears, muffling the sound of her uncle's voice.

"Every one of them…" Seylum let out a growl as rage boiled within her, a familiar sensation flowing over her. "I'll kill… Every last one of them!"

Aiden's desperate call were and a rush of heat were the last thing Seylum remembered before her mind faded into darkness.

"…Kill them…."

"…..kill?..."

"…..Hurt them…Make them all pay…"

"Why….who…"

"The one who cause all…the reason our kind is…kill them….EVERY LAS-"

"Seylum!"

Seylum let out a painful moan before opening her eyes slightly. She could make out the blurred features of Armin and James. Her head throbbed as along with her body. She blink a few times, her vison clearing. She looked around, recognizing that she was in infirmary.

"Where…."Seylum asked, trying to sit up.

"Seylum you shouldn't move." Armin said, gently pushing her back down on to the cot." We in the infirmary they set up for the refuges."

"Refugees?" The images of the breech came rushing back to her. "T-the wall…"

James let out a whimper as Armin looked down. "When you didn't make it to the boat we…."

"SeySey.." James hiccupped, grabbing her hand, smiling slightly when she gave a slight squeeze of comfort.

"I'm sorry…but how did I.." Seylum asked.

"One of the members of the Garrison found you…What happened? They found you passed out and with a really high fever." Armin explained.

"I…"Seylum bit her lip as she tried to remember." I don't know…I remember running into My uncl-"

Suddenly Seylum sat up and looked at James. "Where Uncle Aiden?"

James looked down, his eyes filling with tears. "I don't know…no one's seen him…"

"He's alive, He carried me whe-"

Suddenly the image of a smiling titan flashed in her main. Her hand flew to her mouth, tears pooling her eyes

"E-Eren…Mikasa..did.."Seylum gave Armin a look, her eyes filled with fear.

Armin gave her a smile smile. "Mr. Hannes found them…" He looked down. "but…"

Suddenly the door flew open, Seylum flinched as it banged against the wall. The three of the looked over, Seylum's heart stopping as looked into the eyes of her best friend.

"Eren…"

"You shouldn't have slammed the door. There are other people in here." Armin said as Eren and Miskasa walked over to them.

"It was an accident." Eren said before looking at the red head. "How do y-Seylum?"

Seylum gaze was moving back between Eren and Mikasa, tears streaming down her cheek. "You…You're alive….I…saw…"

Words caught in her as Seylum recalled the blood splattering on the ground as when the titan had eaten Carla's body. She closed her eyes as she tried to keep it together. She felt arms wrap around her.

"Stop holding it in." Eren whispered as the other joined in.

Seylum just held on to her friends, her whole body shaking.

A two month later.

Seylum let out a sigh as she wrapped the cloak tighter around her shoulder. Another fight had broken out over food. Each day, the fighting seemed to get worst as shortage of food got worst. A few people had already died from starvation.

"If this keeps up, everyone might.…" Seylum shook her head, this was no time to be thinking like.

"Seylum!"

She looked over her shoulder as Eren and Armin ran towards her. The three of them were being sent out to fields in an effort to cultivate the land. Everyone knew it was to cold for anything to grow but with the shortage, the government was desperate.

"Another fight?" Armin asked as Seylum nodded.

"They are acting like animal….I'm afraid that if this keeps up…" Seylum tailed off as the three of them started walking.

"I heard one group yesterday was able to salvage some potatoes, so maybe.." Armin said.

"Did you tell them about the herbs?" Eren asked Seylum.

"They said that it was a waste of time, trying to feed people plants in a time like this." Seylum replied kicking a stone as she did.

Eren scoffed. "And trying to grow food in the middle of winter isn't?"

Seylum shrugged as Armin noticed the dark bags under her eye.

"James still isn't getting better?" Armin asked, concerned.

Seylum shook her head. " I'm worried…."

"I'm sure it's just a cold." Eren reassured her. "He'll be better in a few day.

As much a she wanted to believe it, Seylum was still worried. Ever since he was little, James had always gotten really sick. It had started with a mild fever, now he was laying the infirmary. She tried to get him to eat something before she left but he had thrown it up. She had taken him to the doctor, hoping to get him something but unfortunately the medicine he need wasn't something that they were just going to give out.

"Maybe he'll get over it…Please let him get better." Seylum prayed.

A few day later, James was able to hold some food down, but not much. Seylum took the cloth of his forehead and replaced it with a wet one.

"SeySey…."James whimpered.

"I'm right here…." Seylum said.

"It hurt…"

"…..I know…"

James looked at her with pain filled eyes. It broke her heart to see him in pain.

"Maybe I should try and see if I can get a job. I doubt that there are many for someone my age but I need something…."

"Seysey…"

Seylum snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her brother, giving him a smile. "Hmm?"

"Can you sing for me?"

Seylum looked at her brother nervously. "J, I don't know I have sung since…..Besides I don't' know any good songs."

Her brother gave her a pleading look. "Can you…." He let out a harsh cough." The one mama used to sing…"

Seylum felt her heart tighten, she could barely remember the lullaby, but right now she didn't have to the heart to tell her brother. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ( watch?v=iPNew5WDlX8 : Listen now)

No soul can say they've died in vain

Not until the end, when the final arrow meets the battlefield.

How can we win? Our foe is gigantic

But deep within we're just as barbaric.

Seylum opened her eyes slightly as she looked over at her brother. James closes his eyes and smiled. Although her voice had changed since the last time he's hear Seylum sing, he liked her voice now. It was more like their mother's now.

Wielding the blades of Gloria, we're made for victory

Only we dare to bear these wings on our backs.

Her eyes stung slightly as she thought back to her father, the one who originally sung this to her when she was younger. He would always sing this to her the night before he left on an expedition and when he returned.

We have all carved an oath into our hearts, beating in unity

As our voices form the battle cry of the free

We were born for the skies with these Wings…

Seylum trailed as she realized the lullaby had done just what it was meant to do. For the first time in weeks, James looked peaceful. She smiled as she pressed a kiss to the top of his head.

"…of Freedom…" She whispered before getting up and leaving the room.

As Seylum shut the door, she rubbed her eye. The lullaby had brought back memories of her father that she though she lost. The sound of his voice had come back to her, singing along with her in the back of her mind.

"Papa…."

"That was a lovely song."

Seylum jumped slightly and looked to her left. Standing not far from her was an elderly couple dressed in the nicest clothes Seylum had ever seen. The man had a kind smile while the woman glanced at her with disgust. Seylum, having been used to that look, returned the look with a glance. The woman blinked in shock before looking away with a huff. The man chuckled as he walked closer to her. Seylum watched him as he stop a few feet away from her. She looked up at him and gasped slightly.

His eyes were the same shade as her father.

"By chances is your name, Seylum?" The man asked.

"Yes."

The man smiled as he knelt down to her height. He started at her before letting out a chuckled that she couldn't help but smile at.

"You look just like your mother."

She blinked. "You knew my mouther?"

"Yes, And I knew your father. You have the same eyes as him."

"So do you."

"Where do you think he got them from."

Seylum stared at the man in shock. "What?"

"We've been waiting to meet you, Seylum." The man smiled at her.
