Y/n POV
"Y/n!"I looked up from the doll in my hands. "Yes father?" I questioned as he walked closer to me. "I need to tell you and your brother something." He said kneeling in front of me.
Zeke looked up from the other side of the room. "Follow me." He said picking me up and walking over and grabbing Zeke's hand.
We ended up in the kitchen of our small home with mother sitting on the other side of the table a book in her hands.
"We need to tell the two of you something, but you must promise to never doubt what we say." Father stated giving a worried glance to our mother.
"We understand." I said. "Grisha what if this is a bad idea." Our mother whispered to our father.
"It's for the union we must do it." He replied looking back at us and smiling. "Everything you've been taught is wrong,"
"The people of Marley are liars." I mumbled after mother and father finished telling the true tale of us Eldians.
I looked to Zeke who sat next to me holding my hand. He held the horrid expression of fear.
"We need you to be the Eldians that inherit the power of the 9 titans." Father concluded.
"We'll do it Father." I said causing him to brightly smile. "Thank you children, now off to bed." Mother said shooing us off to our room.
The next few days had been quiet. mother and father came home later than normal every night and Zeke never lost his expression of fear.
I seemed to be the only person going on normally. "Children." A voice called from the kitchen.
It was obviously our father I excitedly jumped up and ran to the kitchen like my life depended on it.
I ran around the corner reaching the kitchen, screeching to a stop as I saw my parents horrified expression.
There were officers everywhere holding guns to my parents heads. "You're under arrest for conspiracy against Marley." One said.
I felt hands grab my wrists as I started crying. "Are these the right people correct Zeke?" My eyes widened as I looked to my twin brother.
He slowly raised his hand to point to me and my parents. Tears brimmed my eyes as I was betrayed by the person I shared a life with.
This was the last thing I could recall of my early childhood. All I could remember were these the words. Words that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
"Welcome to paradise."
