The Day Of Tragedy

On that day, humanity inside the wall received a great reminder that they were trapped inside those walls, as a huge 60 meters titan was looking at them over the walls. People looked shocked as they saw that huge titan for the first time in their life.

Earlier that day, a little boy around 10, were sleeping under a tree. Suddenly he opened his eyes and found himself in a battle field. A cute girl around 20, fully covered in blood, hold him and told him," I am sorry Eren. But this maybe the end for us." As she cried down and hug him. At that time a huge foot step on them as Eren started a scream and he woke up from his dream.

A girl around the same age as Eren, came close to him and asked him, "Are you okay Eren? " Eren surprisedly looked at her and said," Huh, Mikasa. What are you doing here?" Mikasa went back a few steps and took her carrier as she told him," Weren't we suppose to carry those wood to home ?" "Ah, I forget completely about it. " As Eren stand up and begun to pick those woods. As he was collecting woods, Mikasa noticed tears in Eren's eyes. "Eren, why are you crying?" Hearing this question, Eren put his hand on his chicks as he found out he was crying.

Eren being shocked, wiped his tears and said," I think I just had a terrifying long dream. But now I don't remember what was that about." Mikasa got close to Eren , and said in a soft voice, "Ereh." "I am fine Mikasa. That was just a dream. So no need to worry about that." Eren said that with a little smile.

Both Eren and Mikasa picked up the woods and started to return home. On the way, while they were passing the gate, an middle aged man greeted Eren and Mikasa. Eren looked at him and saw that he was drunk. Eren angrily and screamingly said, "Hey Hannes. What the hell are you doing while you are on duty?" Hannes laughed at Eren's screaming and told him, " Huh, we are just passing our time . It's just a boring job , so we are having some fun times." Eren grabbed his own head and said, "Tch.. you guys will never do your jobs seriously. " Meanwhile, Hannes's friends were calling him. So Hannes said Eren and Mikasa ," Don't you two are getting late for home. Go home safely , see you later." As he went back to his friends.

Eren and Mikasa started walking for home again, as Eren was mad at Hannes, Mikasa tried to calm him down. "Eren, why are you getting mad at them? They are always like this." Eren looked at Mikasa and calmed down a bit and said, " I know that. But if a titan break through the wall , can they protect us like that?"

Mikasa looked at Eren's face in wonder and asked him," How can titans break through the walls. The walls have been there for more than hundred years to protect us, don't they?" Eren stayed still after hearing that. "Ereh, what's the matter?", being curious Mikasa asked him. Eren broke the silence with a smile and grab his face, "Huh.. Maybe I am overthinking it ." Mikasa being surprised, "Ereh." "Don't worry about it . Let's go home quickly." They continue walking and reached home after a few moment.

They opened the door and said, " We are back." Eren's mom, Carla Yeager, was at the kitchen as she replied, "welcome back. " She gave Eren's dad his lunch , while Eren and Mikasa washed their face and hand. "Mom , I am hungry." ,Eren said loudly when he came out of the washroom. Eren's mom get close to him and wiped his face. "Ok dear ,go to the table. Mikasa, you maybe hungry too. So go to the table ." Both of them replied, "okay." As the went to the table.

Eren's dad, Grisha Yeager, was having his meal and reading some papers . Seeing Eren and Mikasa, he said, "Hey kids. How have been you two doing?" Eren replied, "We are fine. " But seeing a bag with him, Eren asked him, " Are you going somewhere, dad?" Grisha make his face a bit serious and told him, " Yes, today I have to go to the wall Sina to check a patient. " "Oh, I see. Have a good journey dad." As Eren and Grisha were talking , Mikasa tried to say something to Grisha .

Grisha noticing Mikasa, asked her," is everything alright, Mikasa?" Looking at Eren, Mikasa replied, " It was actually about Eren." "What is it?", Grisha asked Mikasa. Eren tried to stop Mikasa, but failed. Mikasa told Grisha about the weird behavior of that day. Hearing those, Grisha asked Eren, "Why were you crying after woke up?" "Like I know. Guess it was a horrible dream.", Eren replied. As Carla interfered their talking and told them to have their meal before it got cold. She also told Grisha, "Honey, you should hurry or else you are going to be late today."

After finishing his meal, Grisha took his bag and went toward the door. Before opening the door, something comes to his mind and he looked at Eren, who was kind of a depressed that time. Grisha took out a key from his pocket and told Eren, "Eren , when I will come back, I will show you what is in the basement." Hearing this Eren's mode changed and with a joy, he said, "Really, dad. This is gonna be awesome." Grisha smiled at Eren as he put his hat on this head and said bye to everyone.

After Grisha left, Eren and Mikasa also finished their meal and cleaned the plates. Carla was thinking about asking Eren to help her. But before she could ask him, Eren already goes out of the house. "Mom, I am going out to play. " Eren told that to his mom. Carla could not stop him. So she told Mikasa, " What will I do of this boy ? Will he ever listen to me? Mikasa, take care of Eren ,so that he doesn't put himself in danger." Mikasa replied , " Yes, I will." As Mikasa started to catch after Eren. Carla begun to do her household works.

At the bank of a lake, some boys were beating a blonde hair kid. That kid was holding a book and just taking that beat down. As Eren saw it, he rushed to the spot and hit a punch to the leader. After receiving the punch, the boy knocked out and fall into the lake. The other two was thinking of grabbing Eren, but they saw Mikasa was coming. So they ran away. Eren and Mikasa checked on the kid, " Hey Armin, are you alright?"

Armin shaked his head as a yes and with the help of Eren , he managed to be back on his feet. Mikasa asked him, " Why were they beating you this time?" "I just showed them the things in this book, and then they attack me. Why don't they believe that there is a see outside of this wall!"

"So , this was the reason they were beating you. Man why can't you atleast fight back?" Eren putting his hand on Armin's shoulder. "It doesn't mean I lost, right? As long as I am not running away, I am not losing. So it doesn't matter if I don't fight back.", Armin said with a little smile.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin sat in the stairs of the lake and Armin begun to talk about theut outside world written in the book. Eren asked Armin, " Do you really want to go outside of the walls?" Armin replied, "Of course, I want to see the sea." As Mikasa told Armin, " Do you know how to go outside of the wall? " Armin became silent for a moment and replied, " Yeah, the only way is to join the scout regiment." Then Mikasa told him, " Are you going to risk your life to fight the titans just to see the sea."

Hearing that, Armin got silent and little bit sad. But Eren tried to cheer him up as he said, " Armin, don't worry about that. We are gonna join the scout regiment together and will made it to the sea , it's a promise." Hearing that Armin became surprised and hugged Eren in a joy. Mikasa wasn't happy with that and tried to change their decision about joining the scout regiment but failed. Mikasa screamed at the two, " Eren Armin , why don't you understand......"

As Mikasa was screaming, a sound of lightning striked and the whole place began to shake. People around them began to scream and run. People were gathering in the main road as they were looking at the wall as streams were coming out from the outer wall.

The trio ran towards the gathering and as they looked at the walls, they became shocked and trembled in fear as a huge titan bigger than those 50 meters wall appeared. Eren unconsciously told himself, " It's them, the titans. They are on the move ." As the huge titan looked at the whole town and then stretch his legs and kicked into the walls as the gate of the wall become broken and the broken pieces of the wall fall on various locations on the town . The medium and the smaller titans begun to come inside the walls through the hole as people begun to run for their lives...
