A Second Chance (Marco x Fem Reader)

Chapter 2

'Mom. I am going to give this to you even if it's the last thing I do.'

You continued running towards the boats. You still had quite the distance to cover to get there, and you could see the hundreds of people desperately trying to secure a spot on the boats.

"Y/N!!", you heard a familiar voice yell. Your heart started beating faster as you felt the feeling of relief and happiness spread throughout your body.

"Mom! Dad!", you screamed happily.

"Oh, I am glad you are safe!", your mom hugged you, your dad doing the same.

They took a quick but good look at the state of you, your blood-soaked dress making them worried.

"Are you hurt? We have to get out of here, quickly!", your dad said as they both turned around, your mom holding your hand tight. You started to make a run for the boats when the ground shook violently again. You all turned around to see what had happened, and that's when you noticed a giant boulder coming straight in your direction.

Everything happened so quickly.

You only managed to turn your head towards your parents, and saw your dad already moving towards you, pushing you out of the way. You fell heavily on the ground and hit your head. All you could hear were screams of pain as your eyesight darkened.

You slowly opened your eyes, confused for a second as to why you were on the ground. You slowly but surely took in your surroundings, putting the pieces together. You look over to the spot your parents were standing not even a half a minute ago. Your ears were ringing, the big boulder in front of you earning your full attention. You barely even noticed someone grabbing your hand, pulling you along with them in a haste. Your eyes finally broke free from the large rock and found their way over to two glowing, yellow eyes in front of where the entrance gate once was. The titan had broad muscles and something that looked like some sort of armour, covering its body.

"Hey, we have to hurry over to the boats!". You quickly turned your head towards the source of the voice. The person holding your hand was a Garrison soldier. You had never seen him before, and you could see he was struggling to get you to follow him.

You looked down at the flower, still placed in your firm hand, its name carrying a deeper meaning now. You could feel the soldier tugging your hand again, refusing to leave you behind, however becoming more desperate by the second. You swiftly place the flower down by the boulder, keeping the promise you made yourself and your mom by doing so. You felt your feet move again, following a relieved soldier towards the boats.

The boat ride was quiet, nobody wanting to ruin the peace that had settled once the boat was out of range from the disaster that used to be your home. Occasional sounds of crying and groans of pain became less by the hour.

"I'm gonna put a stop to this!", you heard a voice full of pain and determination say. Looking over to your right you see Eren. "I'll kill them all! Every last one of them!", he continued, tears streaming down his face. Armin and Mikasa stood behind him, looking worried.

Something started to form in you as you listened to his words. A feeling of guilt and hatred. Whenever you blinked, all you could see what that last titan. That terrifyingly strong titan with shining eyes, dashing through the wall... Killing your parents...

You look down at the hand you had held the flower in. Tears started falling from your eyes, hitting the palm of you hand. You closed your hand forming a fist, the feeling of determination taking over your body.

'Don't worry mom and dad. I will do anything in my power to rid the world of that disgusting killer. The armoured titan will be no more...'

A/N:

Here is chapter 2 as well! :)

If any of you have played the AOT 2 game you might recognize some of the events happening to Y/N. I took inspiration from the game as i think it is something different than the usual 'parents get eaten by titans' (Without trying to sound like that isn't terrible enough haha)

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, we are coming closer to the start of the 104th cadet corps era<3 I'm excited! Since i haven't started on those chapters yet it might take some days to finish, so stay tuned!

Have a wonderful day!<3
