So this is how it would end, alone in the dark as titans storm the town. Who would have thought that another wall would fall only 5 years after the last. Was this how human kind was fated to die?
Ember shook her head, dismissing the thoughts. No, she wouldn't let herself die here. Standing, she made her way to the clouded window of the house she sought refuge in. No titans were in the streets, but that didn't mean there weren't around.
Glancing down, she took in the blood that dirtied her clothes, disgusting. She only had 2 blades left and very little gas. Maybe even enough to get to the inner wall. Apex flapped his coal black wings drawing her attention to where her loyal friend lay injured. His black eyes followed her as the brunette made her way back to him.
Careful not to move his injured wing, Ember lifted the crow up placing him safely in the hood of her jacket. Pulling the strings of her hood a bit to cradle him, she made her way to the door, it was time to move.
Her heart hammered in her chest as she made her way down the darkened steps.
She couldn't die today, she'd promised her mother she would live to marry.
That's why she joined the Garrison.
To live
---------
After what felt like an eternity, She reached the door that lead her back out to the street. Embers hand froze on the knob,listening if any titan had made it's way to the street. Apex shifted in her hood, poking his head out.
"Hear anything?" she whispered, turning her head slightly to the left. Apex let out a soft purr in response. "I'll take that as a 'no'." She mumbled, not really understanding his reply fully. Maybe in a clearer mind she would have thought about it a bit more, but with her adrenaline pumping she couldn't stay still for long, she had to move.
Turning the knob, she carefully leaned on the door. It didn't move, she put more pressure but still nothing. She was hoping to be quiet about leaving but it seemed that was no longer an option. Sighing in frustration she slammed her shoulder in to the door being careful of the cargo she cradled in her jacket. With a moan, the door gave way.
Peering around the door Ember noticed what had jammed the door. A mangled body lay on the ground half eaten by a titan. Quickly she turned her head away clasping her hands over her mouth to suppress a gag. Taking deep breaths to calm her stomach she took a step out of the door turning once again to face the man who lay mutilated at her feet. He mouth wide open as if to scream, eyes rolled back in his head, limbs missing, blood, so much blood everywhere. She couldn't look away.
This could be her.
Apex cawed softly behind her, bringing her back to reality. Turning from the body, she scanned the streets for any sign of a titan. None, nothing seemed to move. Taking a few more breaths, she turned herself north back in the direction of wall Rose, her only chance of survival. Very much aware of her lack of gas she kept to the streets. Since the fall of wall Maria she'd lived in Trost, learned every street, every ally, everything there is to know about this city. She never thought it would actually come in handy, well at least not in this sense. It did always come in handy when she wanted to avoid people or her work.
Taking a left here a right there she finally reached the main road that lead through town. It was weird that she hadn't run into any titans. It's true that it had only been an hour since the wall fell, but wouldn't there be more?
There was no time to think, she had to make it to the wall, to safety.
It was her only hope.
Ember laughed under her breath, Hope, in this world?
BAM, WRITING
*clears throat*
Anyhow
This is the first 'fanfic' i've ever written (really the first thing i've ever written)
Follows my character, Ember
Wasn't sure how to end this so i might continue this more later.

Critique is nice

Au revoir mes amies
