I held my mother's hand as we were going to watch Zeke.

"Y/N, Are you okay?" My father, Grisha asked as we almost reached the fence.

"I'm okay papa," I said as I gave him a comforting smile.

Seeing Zeke again makes my worries go away. I was always alone at home and no one would play with me. Zeke won't be there to protect me from Marleyans. I spend my free time with papa in his office.

Sometimes I and Zeke would be together but it's only a short moment

We reached the fence where we see Zeke in the last running with a shotgun and a heavy backpack.

I still remember what happened that night.

I can hear their discussion about Zeke being a spy. Why?.

Zeke's eyes met ours. In the corner of my eyes, I saw my father turning his back looking frustrated as for my mother who reasoned with him.

Are they frustrated because of Zeke being a failure?.

Father. Mother. Why?.

I looked back at Zeke with empathy.

All of this is crazy. Poor Zeke. He's just a boy.

Our eyes met as Zeke's face looked relieved. He mouthed my name but a man on a horse called him and he started running.

"Y/N" I heard my father's voice as I went to them.

______________

"Damnit! It's bullshit!" Father's voice was heard through the door of my room. Why is it like this? Can we just live normal?

"Don't say that! He's trying his best!"

He is trying his best. What does Zeke feel right now? Sad? Angry? Disappointed?. He's trying his best to keep up and become a warrior candidate.

"He'll never be a warrior like this!"

Father. I wish I can smack your head with a frying pan right now.

Everything is chaotic.

I pulled my knees up to my chest as I hugged my teddy bear.

"Are you okay?" A girl's voice asked but I didn't bother to look at the person.

"You think in this kind of situation, I'll be ok?" I snickered in sarcasm.

There's no reply.

"Will. Will? Everything be normal?" I sighed heavily.

Until I felt a pat on my head as I looked at the person.

She had blonde hair and baggy clothes as she had an emotionless face. She didn't reply. She just stared.

A family dinner with an intimidating atmosphere.

It just loses my appetite even more.

"Dad. Mom. Stop doing dangerous things" Zeke voiced out as me, Mom and dad were surprised. "If they found out, they'll send us to paradis sent to the island of devils and made into titans."

Zeke. It won't be dangerous if someone would tell Marleyans.

"Have you learned nothing I taught you?" Dad asked in disappointment.

"Unless someone takes a stand, we'll live pitiful lives in this tiny cage"

Dad is right. Us Eldians are just birds in a cage in Marley. They treat us like pawns on a chessboard. Worthless but useful.

"That's right. We're fighting for the future of Eldians, including yours and Y/N" Mom said.

Fight. Fight for our future? It's true. We have to fight for our freedom. For our future. For Our Lives.

"Even if there's a chance that I end up like Aunt Fay," Zeke said.

Aunt Fay. She died at the hands of Marleyans. She died in a cage without freedom.

"Zeke! The only reason Fay died is because this world is twisted!" Father slammed his hands on the table making the two of us flinch. "We have to fight so nobody ends up like her. We must restore the strength of Eldia and win our rights back."

In the corner of my vision, I saw Zeke shed a tear.

This has had to stop.

"Father. I think it's time we chill for a minute. We don't want people hearing from outside do we?" I said monotonously as Father relaxed in his chair.

"Zeke, Y/N. It's time for bed, I'll do the dishes" Mom said as I stood up from my position and took my brother's hand and dragged him away.

"Y/N" Zeke's saddened voice said as we halt in front of his room.

"Zeke," I said in a calming voice as I wiped his tear with my finger and smiled "Everything will be alright Zeke. I promise"

"You're kidding me. Your parents are restorationists?! You'll all be sent to paradis!" Mr Ksaver exclaimed as the two of them were sitting behind a brick building.

"Yeah. Mr Ksaver, thanks for playing catch with me" Zeke said with a sad smile and teary eyes "Even when I'm a titan, I'll remember you. Well goodbye"

Zeke stood up and walks away as Ksaver puts his hands on the side of his head in frustration.

"Report them"

"Huh?"

"It's your only hope. If you report them to Marley and prove your loyalty. You, your sister and your grandparents might be spared" Mr Ksaver spoke as Zeke was surprised at the option he was given.

"I could never do that"

In Zeke's mind was battling over the option. The option of him, Y/N and his grandparents surviving but his parents dying.

"Zeke! Your parents have been terrible to you! They gave up on you and your sister and never cared how you two felt! They never loved you!"

______________

Marley soldiers outside and inside of our house.

Fear and sadness were what I felt as I held Zeke's shirt as his left arm went around me and his right arm pointed at our parents who were surrounded by Marleyan soldiers.

Why? Zeke.

They're our parents. They knew how we could be free. We can fight Zeke.

Tears went down on my face as Marley soldiers escorted Mom and Father out of the house.

Zeke guided me out of the house as we saw our parents being put in the back of the vehicle.

They're being sent to Paradis. To become titans. We just wanted to be free and happy.

Zeke began to rub my back as I sobbed more.

"You're a smart kid. A kind kid" Mr Ksaver said who was beside Zeke.

_______________

Two years have passed. Two years of losing my parents. Two years of losing the chance of having freedom.

I don't feel mad about Zeke at all but I have massive guilt of doing nothing about it.

I should've fought. I should've fought. For freedom. To finally be free.

"Y/N?" A knock on my bedroom door was heard.

"Hm?"

"Zeke just left the house. If you are hungry, food will be in the drawers. I and your grandmother will be going out shopping." Grandfather's voice said as I hummed again in response leaving me alone in my room.

Zeke is busy becoming a warrior and gains their so-called trust in Marley.

I want to fight. Fight for my right. For my freedom. To finally be able to do anything and no one could stop me.

"Grisha is still alive" a monotone voice spoke as I looked up.

A man with black tied hair. He's tall. His face looked so vulnerable.

He had no shirt at all, exposing his abs in front of me as I threw my blanket on him.

Beside him was the blonde girl who would listen to my rants.

Ymir Fritz. In the past two years, I have been talking to her. Telling about stories and stuff. She would only reply with a nod and nothing else.

"Father? He's alive? How can you be so sure about that? And. Who even are you?" I asked as I looked at the man as if he was crazy.

I think I might be the one who's crazy. Seeing people that randomly appear and disappear is too much to process.

"I can guarantee you Y/N that your father is alive and living in paradis." He said as he still gave a monotoned face.

"I-"

"You want to be with him right?" He spoke as I looked at him with hope.

"Well then. A ship from Marley will sail tonight to check on Paradis before they go to war. You'll sneak in in the ship"

"What if I'm caught? "

"Don't worry. No one will see you"

When I blinked they weren't there.

I swear I might be crazy or something but this plan might be the key. I'm sorry Zeke.

Me and aot timeline: confusion
