[indent][color=Gray]Reese gave his friends a smile as he was warmly welcomed, a slight misstep nearly causing the boy to come tumbling backwards down the hill before he brought the crate to the earth. He circled around the delivery container before he took a seat on its sturdy lid, its structure easily supporting his lightweight frame. Running a hand along the back of his head, he set his light-blond hair straight, looking between the three girls and occasionally, the other male that he was not personally acquainted with.

The youth puffed the right side of his cheek as he had to look up in order to do so, only seeing the other boy's height in futility now that Reese was sitting down. Even with the diet and amount of activity he had, Reese still found himself overshadowed by his peers, and seeing how the other boy was already so much taller sent a wave of discouragement to his futile efforts. Though, he did spend a large portion of his time travelling at the front or back of a wagon, while every time he had been in Shigashina, he had always seen the taller boy running along.[i]'Will I always be a midget?'[/i] he thought.[/color]

[color=Moccasin][b]"I've seen you around the city a lot,"[/b][/color] [color=Gray]Reese looked to Gabriel, his face eager with curiosity. [i]Maybe if I'm friends with the giant, I can learn his secret to growing taller..[/i][/color] [color=Moccasin][b]"... but we haven't actually talked! My name's—"[/b][/color]

[color=Gray][i]A flash of... lightning?[/i] Reese's introduction was immediately interrupted by the interjection of some phenomena, a strong tremor sending the boy halfway down the side of the hill as the delivery crate of meat spilled down the land. He struggled to pull himself up for a moment, his mind continuing to spin as he patted the top of his head a few times.

When he did come to his feet after recollecting his thoughts, Reese uttered a curse as he watched the ruined crate and its contents roll away from them. Just as the boy looked to ask of his companions about what had happened, his eyes shriveled in fear as plumes of steam surrounded a gigantic, fleshy hand that gripped the southern wall leading to the outside world. [i]There's... no way, the wall is fifty meters. It can't be![/i]

[b]And it was.[/b]

The crimson, almost hideous face of the Colossal Titan lifted over the walls that had safeguarded them for centuries, its eyes boring a new fear within the boy's entire soul. Reese had been lost in the anxiety of his thoughts until the loud crash followed shortly after, screams from inside of Shiganshina District telling him exactly what had happened. The titan had breached the wall, the titans were there, the titans were coming to kill them all.

The boy's temporary inaction was stopped as the others spoke of their parents, spoke of an escape from the attack. Even as the people all around the land had begun to scatter for the boats on the canal, there was only one thought that surrounded itself among the bodies of the dead that he had seen.[/color] [color=Moccasin][b]"My uncle is there,"[/b][/color] [color=Gray]Reese spoke to himself while the kids seemingly separated, seeing them run back towards the northern gate to re-enter Shiganshina.[/color]

[color=Moccasin][b][i]"Wait!"[/i][/b][/color] [color=Gray]he called out to them, even as they grew smaller in his view and his voice went hoarse.[/color] [color=Moccasin][b]"The titans are here..."[/b][/color]

[hr]

[color=Gray]An unspeakable horror continued to shock all of the sensory elements to Reese's body, keeping the boy in a fearful adrenaline as he had battled himself to return to the district that had now become the den to the titans. The boy found himself weaving through the crowd, running through the screams and cries, in the opposite direction.[/color] [color=Moccasin][b]"Uncleeeeeee!"[/b][/color] [color=Gray]the boy would call out as much as his waning courage allowed.

Reese had fully lost sight of the others in all of the madness, cutting through an alleyway that led into the northern portion of the marketplace. His legs cowered, his body in a struggle to turn the other way as he continued to run towards the death and mayhem. At the center section of the marketplace, the boy found his path obstructed by a part of the wall, crawling to his feet and attempting to fit through a small crevice in the debris before his heart stopped.

The boy could see the disproportionate heads and shoulders of two titans that towered over the buildings as they headed the titan's stampede on the district. [i]Over there... He's...[/i]

Another being that was more overwhelming than his fear overtook Reese's body as the boy screamed, his arms and legs whirling in struggle. As the boy turned, he calmed only slightly as his captor was the face of Maston, the burly-bearded butcher that his uncle had told him to deliver the crate of meats to.

[b]"What are you doing here, Kestrel?!"[/b] Maston shouted as he pulled the boy from the crevice in the debris, starting towards the northern gate. [b]"That big one broke the wall, the titans are coming this way! We need to head for the boats!"[/b][/color]

[color=Moccasin][i][b]"My uncle!"[/b][/i][/color] [color=Gray]Tears began to stream down Reese's face as his arms seemed to reach beyond the debris, as if he was reaching for his uncle. The boy continued to struggle within the butcher's grasp, crying madly.[/color] [color=Moccasin][b][i]"We can't leave him! Please, we can't leave him!"[/i][/b][/color]

[color=Gray][b][i]'That is simply the reality of our world, sonny.'[/i][/b][/color]

[color=Moccasin][i][b]"Let go of me!"[/b][/i][/color] [color=Gray]Reese continued through the burning of his tears, even as the boy's body grew tired and the distance towards him and wherever his uncle could have been only grew further apart.[/color][/indent]
