[center] [h3] Jade Stone - Wall Maria: Shiganshina District [/h3]


Had she really seen her parents die right in front of her eyes? Had she been the reason for the Titan to change its course of action and head towards Jade, who stood a ways away and the bakery lay dead in between the two? 

Throughout her reverie she seemed to have let herself be taken away by someone that shouted at her but it never registered with Jade. Her vision remained blurred and her senses numb. She heard a female's voice, then a male's voice, then the clatter of a horse's gallop. [i]'What's going on? Why am I alive? Why am I surviving while they died a sudden death?'[/i] Jade's thoughts kept circling her head as her guilt grew. "It's ... my fault." Her voice came out as a soft whisper as she started to acknowledge that if weren't for her, her family and Mora's could've survived. Or at least had more options towards surviving. "It's my fault!" Her voice came out louder and louder as she soon started to scream and cry over the horse's gallop. 

Through the tears she could see them arrive at the boats. The horse naturally began to slow down but she couldn't get herself to find the want or feeling of needing to get on the boats. 

"No!" 

Once the horse slowed to a stop, Jade slid off of it and began to run back towards the village marketplace. Or at least she tried. A man that was a regular at the bakery managed to get a hold of her and wrap his arms around Jade's tiny body so that she wouldn't be able to fight back. 

[b]"You can't go back! Jade, stop! What would your family want?!"[/b] 

The words rang in the young girl's ears. Her family was dead now. Did it truly matter what they wanted? 

Even with her using all of her strength, the attempts seemed futile against the large man. "My parents bodies are back there! I can't leave them!" Although Jade's mind was still set on going back, her body had given up the fight. She was exhausted to say the least, which let the man pick her up before walking over to the horse. 

There was another girl there that Jade hadn't really taken much time to figure out who she was. She was the one that saved her. Jade looked at her with tears in her eyes as the man let her down next to the other girl. "Thank you," was all she could really manage to say before falling silent. The man who had carried Jade over urged the two girls to get on the boat, taking their hands and pulling them along.
