Back in time, back before that story where the two love birds. Ten years ago back in the village with the three who by fate became friends. Their time together must be told. It was a fate that will suddenly be changed...
The birds were flying around with a freedom; the freedom that humans wish they could have. The titans put us all in the cage. A cage that is among the walls. It was then the talk from Toshiki had Alice worried. He wanted to save more humans. It frighten the female who sat up on the roof of her home. It showed other houses within their small village. Knowing he was right about them. They were cattle waiting to be eaten.
"Mother! Why won't you understand?! We are nothing but cattle..." He heard two hands slam on the table. "I said no, and I meant it TOSHIKI! You will not join the recon corps!" Her voice was high enough to make the tea cup fall onto the floor before shattering. "Don't you understand? You could die out there!" He looked away from her eyes, lips pressed against each other. "Oh shut up... you just care about us. WHAT about your friend Isabelle? Or is she cattle to be sacrificed?!"
Two brown eyes widen in shock, imagining her being sacrificed with them escaping while the blood hit the ground. Her friend lifeless body in the titan's large body full of other humans. "I-I would never sacrifice her. I...know you want to do good. Your too young." A boy at age five yelling about this. He is mature...yet, what made him wish to do this? "Who put you up to it?"
Her eyes became serious with anger within them. A sweat drop had fallen from Toshiki's right cheek. He was nervous to say but it was the fear from Alice. She was trembling and he had enough! Something in him wanted to protect her. They met a month ago and she was like a fragile rabbit. So gentle, so soft... "I want to protect Alice."
Lips would open only a little, two brown eyes suddenly became soft over his words. "Alice...you wish to protect her? What about Shin?" He had looked away, part of his white bangs would move with his head. "He wants to join as well." Standing up from her chair the female would walk over to Toshiki. "No. You both are idiots for even trying. You will die out there!" Her legs moved away with fear in each of her eyes. Worried about losing her only son. Her oldest has not come home yet.
"Mama..."
Toshiki looked at his Mother who stopped walking into the main room. "...I know your worried for my life. I won't join because we can't until we are older at age of fourteen. I will just hope by then we aren't all dead." He stepped to the door when hearing her stomp to go back into the room he was in. Her knees hit the ground when she fell behind Toshiki, arms would wrap around his smaller body gently. "Don't die! Just..please sweetie."
Those words were full of sorrow with her tears falling from each side of her cheek. "Mother..I will not let this family down!" He said with his hands touching his Mother's pale hands. "I want to make you proud, Mama!" His hand reached when feeling she let him go. Turning around with his small body, slowly his hair would move with him when his lips showed a warm smile. "I am going to visit the Princess again!"
Princess? Her thoughts ran with thoughts of who that was when knowing he must of borrowed books from her. "Be careful, Prince!" His cheeks had a light shade of pink from his Mother's words. "M-Mama! Only she can call me that. I-I-It just Mama like a Queen and Isabelle too! I hope we can get our own land and beat these titans!" The door creeked with hearing the door open, seeing her son had opened the door by standing on the stool.
A gentle laughter left her lips when watching him run out. "Stay safe my son." Momo would slowly shut the door when walking over to the window. Can he stay safe? She was sure anytime the titans could attack however if that happens she would not sacrifice anyone!
A bright light came from the sun shining down upon them. Showing the people getting food from the stalls with cheerful talking. Family having picnics which talking like there no tomorrow. It was all foolish. Toshiki knew that while walking down with his hands in each pocket of his pants. "How stupid..." He would whisper those words before moving his legs faster to the home where Emi lived. Alice always would sit outside with her straw hat, the dresses she wore had his cheeks blushing a light pink. She was beautiful...like a Princess waiting for her Prince. When the light shines on her skin; it would glow so brightly with two dark purple eyes watching him. He wanted to keep her safe and happy. The titans will ruin that!
He would protect her...he will!
Down the street there was people he passed, small legs moved with all his might until he approached her house. Looking up with two big teal eyes, seeing the female sat on the roof with her holding out a book. With small fingers she would turn the page; before turning her head. "Shiki!" A joyful tone left her lips; moving to climb down from a ladder that goes from the edge of the house, then goes to the floor before she walks up to Toshiki. His arms would embrace Alice tightly when he held her hands.
"Ali, Ali guess what? My Mom didn't agree at first but I can join the military at age! I have to wait though..." His tone was excited when seeing Alice expression was worried. "Ali...please don't be worried! I have to do this." Her purple orbs would look down, lips started to tremble. "I-I know! I just...am scared."
Scared... That word he hated the most out of his Princess. She had the expression of worry, almost that she lose her Prince. He can't have that. He won't have that! These titans take away his dreams, hopes, future. What would be left had these titans eat them all? NOTHING!
"Alice...I will kill all of them. I wan...no I will!" His hands gripped on Alice's small, fragile hands that smelled of blue berries. He loved that scent over anything else. The other things he will take her with him and Shin. His family... They will see the world. He saw it in pictures the books while everyone said it was forbidden. Well...what? Due to the titans?! He can't allow that.
Footsteps pounded when a boy with short-cut blue hair, his small hands raised with showing the news about humans getting killed. A worry filled in Toshiki heart about his Father leading the group. "I hope your Father is okay." The white haired bangs covered his face, two legs kicked forward with no word of his older brother. His family was in pieces. Mother was at home waiting for no return of Father. He was on days without coming back and this village in danger. "I believe he will come back!"
Returning from inside the female named Alice walked out; small legs walking up to her two best friends. Holding two cups of tea, one cup was for her on the tray after she took a seat watching the small lake flow by. "We have to get out there." Shin eyes looked at the ground, his eyes looked at Alice who didn't want to be a soldier. "You sure, Alice?" His words were soft.
One nod from her head, two eyes looked at Shin and Toshiki. It scared her to watch while they go and throw away their lives. "I don't...I don't like this. You fighting like this already at this age....of five. You already wish to die!" Shin bit his bottom lip out of her worries; a gentle laughter left his lips. "Hey...Alice. You know, we made a promise and once we return, we will bring all their heads and make them pay." His body stood up when seeing Toshiki stood with him.
"Toshiki...?" Shin looked surprised when he saw Toshiki offer his hand to Alice. "A Princess shouldn't cry. We will return that is a promise!" Her hand trembled when feeling two arms wrap around her waist, it was Toshiki who brought her close. "I won't leave you alone, Princess..." A gentle smile appeared on Alice face; it was then they both wanted to see that smile. Outside of this trapped hole. They will see it...
The months went by, each visit was about the books Toshiki has found with collection. A word from Toshiro as he returned to have only a few come back with their comrades, friends. All gone... The world was hell. Toshiki knew now once he hit that age he will leave to train. Join with his Father and kill titans as many he could.
The years went by, it was the year of his fourteen year. Both his friends had grew up a little with being taller. Alice had studied medicine and herbs. Her growth became known as the most expert on how to treat wounds with those herbs she collects. Sometimes Toshiro Hitsugaya would collect what is needed. He had no trouble finding for his people.
It was the day where Shin and Toshiki left to go to the next village. They will train to join the army and fight the titans. Alice would stay behind with Momo and Isabelle. "Shiki...." Tears fell from her eyes, with her arms wrapped around Toshiki. He held onto Alice with both his hands rubbing her back gently. "Come back safely, okay?" Whispering in Alice's ear he would softly speak. "I will come back to you...after we won the war!" Standing by his Father side where he nod his head. A hand would lightly touch Alice's head, before he rubs to turn around with taking Toshiki and Shin.
Alice stayed by her Mother's side which she knew titans could attack any time. It had been another month or two where Alice was collecting flowers to feel something was wrong. It was then seeing with her Mother; the building on the walls were falling. A large rock smacked into one of the houses. Alice dropped the flowers, a worried expression showed when hearing screaming. They were out in the field far away only that they could run.
"M-Mother...! We should help..." Emi grabbed Alice's shoulders lightly, it was suddenly a large titan was grabbing the two girls so fast. Both their eyes closed with feeling fear. It was then they both could not remember being knocked out so easily. The sudden titan disappeared while the ruckus was loud. Isabelle heard a glass fell when suddenly her roof was ripped off to see a titan grab her. Struggling to notice a familiar face; both her eyes widen when being put to sleep for the titan left quickly to take her to their home.
It was away from the first village near the wall. The girls had no idea that deep inside there was a cover up. A rock hard titan had came in with ripping buildings apart to see the military had shot at him with no affect. He had stopped their forces to rush with breaking in the second wall. "....The end of humans..." He would speak before showing the terror as all the humans in that village had died. The humans who fleld had survived only by chance. They ran with fear knowing that they could not escape. No one could escape the fate...only that their village was destroyed because it was so weak. No defense from the recon corp.
It was easily to show that titans could destroy any wall with their height tall enough. It was that deep inside this weak defense there was....a truth that no one would know about.
A elder man had stood with his name to be Yamamoto. He held a staff where he had trained these boys and girls. "You have trained well! You may return to your homes." Suddenly a news was all around about the first village in Soul Society being brought down. Standing next to him was a boy who was born from Aizen Sosuke. "Hey wanna play later today?" The boy standing next to him was Toshiki who ignored him. "Get lost. I am going home...to the one who has stolen my heart."
The male who stood by Toshiki had brown hair with his brown eyes widening. "W-Who is this?! Who stole your heart? I bet it was...Shin." The blue haired male raised his hand to hit the brown haired male. "Yuu, you digust me. Why would I stole away his heart? It happened after he met her. Alice.
"A-Alice?!"
It was suddenly when the staff would slam down by the elder leader of the military there. "There is urgent news! Now silence your mouths and listen to what I have to speak of. The titans had emerged." All of their mouths were shut, two teal eyes would watch Yamamoto when he spoke of something he did not want to here. "The first village was destroyed, the titans left no survivors...only a few who came to report here. We were blind to see they attack here!!!"
Toshiki eyes widen with panting heavily over losing his Mother, Isabelle, all his friends and most of all. Her... The one he wanted to protect all alone with the titans taking her away.
"ALIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed out when seeing everyone watch with sadness. Shin had touched Toshiki shoulder. "Toshiki...." He knew that Alice was important and losing his Mother was sadness in it itself.
Their losses has became reality....What they worked for all destroyed in a instant. It was then that more sacrifices were to be made where they planned to strike back what has been taken today. Toshiki planned to avenge her death even if he must die in the process. He must!
