The ground was shaking with each step of the numerous titans now within the district walls, yet Tanner didn't look behind, nor did he allow the girl to look either. Only despair and death was behind Tanner and the child in his arms, coating the district with a gloomy outlook. The district was lost, and Tanner's legs would only move forward as they tried to evade the monstrous titans munching on humanity like an afternoon snack. Danger lurked every corner, and the thought made the boy run as fast as he could. 

His legs were growing tired, but there was no time to rest lest a titan corner them. The girl in his arms was crying for her mother, and Tanner tried his best to comfort the child. By no means was Tanner experienced with children, but he remembered that his mother used to embrace him tightly whenever Tanner had a nightmare. [color=#FFD967]"Shh, now. Just think it as a bad dream, alright? I'll keep you safe, don't worry."[/color] He whispered to the girl, his voice ragged and harsh as Tanner tried catching his breath to speak.

It felt odd to Tanner that he was playing the hero. Normally, he would've ignored someone in danger, but this time Tanner felt like something was telling him to save this child. Perhaps it was his will to survive, or maybe it was a deeper spiritual calling, but Tanner had no time to think by the time they reached the boats. The scene was a disaster as people were fighting their neighbors, pushing and shoving to get their place on a boat in order to get out of the district. 

[color=#FFD967][i]Alright, Tanner. You can do this.[/i][/color] Tanner swallowed his fear, and began to trudge forward through the tight crowd. People he personally knew were hurling insults at him as he pushed deeper, bumping against his neighbors and other citizens. A few had even pushed back, forcing Tanner to use his body to shield the child until they made their way to the front of the crowd. Met with a grizzly solider, Tanner pleaded with him to let them on the boat, especially because of the child in his arms.

Seconds passed by that felt like an eternity before the man had agreed to let them on the boat to the chorus of outrage from those still trying to flee. Tanner didn't have the heart to face those he knew, and quickly searched for a place for himself and the child to sit down. It didn't take him long to find a place, and Tanner sat down on the floor with the child still in his arms. She appeared to be a shaken mess, and Tanner refused to let her go until he could somehow calm the child down.
