Chapter 3: Wall Maria, People’s Ignorance

The forest was quiet, the tall green pine trees, shined as the morning sun crept its way in, through the gags far above, the wind blowing the tall grass.

"Shhhh...look" I say to mikasa, Crouched Beside me.

Mikasa "I don't see anything" confused.

Mr. Ackerman "just watch, mikasa" not seeing anything but knowing his son well.

Looking for a while as a decently sized deer, walked out of the brush, it's look brownish grey fur, dancing with the wind.

Mikasa "so pretty.." with stars in her eyes.

"Watch closely mikasa" as I draw back my bow.

Mikasa "don't you have papas gun" looking at the bow and arrow I made from black pine.

"They are to loud, if I miss it, it will know to run, while with this it will just be on alert, come mikasa" letting my grip go.

Mikasa "..." not sure, looking at our father.

Mr. Ackerman "it is fine mikasa" patting her head.

Walking to me I place her in front of me, putting the bow in her hand, drawing the arrow back, because she did not have the strength.

" breathe, mikasa when you exhale release" after I lined up the shot.

Mikasa. "Ok Rama...*breathing" as he released the bolt.

Watching as if it's mark, no blood a clean hit as it dropped.

Mr. Ackerman "good mikasa" smiling at her.

Moving forward to its body, as it whined in pain.

Mikasa "ehhh" looking at it struggle.

"Mikasa it is ok, come" waving to her.

She stood unmoving, looking like she was going to cry, but seeing my face and my smile she shook her head, somehow pushing past her fear.

Mr. Ackerman "that smile haha" looking as mikasa walked to me.

Pulling out a knife, and placing it in her hand, grabbing it, I gestured to take a knee, pulling the arrow out, as it whined, looking into mikasa eyes, as she was going to drop the knife but i wrapped my hand around hers. Leaning in to whisper in to her ear.

"Close your heart to it mikasa, we can not leave it like this, end it's suffering" as I placed the knife where the heart was.

Mikasa "...ok Rama, I'm sorry" saying to me while looking at the deer, rubbing its face, then driving the knife in.

It closed its eyes for the last time.

"You did great mikasa...ahh" as she turned around and hugged me.

Mr. Ackerman "he's right you did great mikasa, a hunter just like me" smiling at our moment.

Picking up the deer placing it on my shoulders.

Mr. Ackerman "your 9 years old, you sure you can carry that?" As I pretended to struggle.

"I'm sorry father" looking at him.

Mr. Ackerman "it's fine you'll grow to be stronger then me one day"helping me carry the deer.

'Yeah a 9 year old lifting a 400 pound deer, not weird, I could carry it with one hand but let dad have his moment' thinking to myself.

Mikasa "carry?" Coming up to me.

Mr. Ackerman "go ahead" seeing this, grabbing the deer.

"Ok come on mikasa" as she gets on my back I was big for a 9 year old.

Mikasa "haha thank you Rama" laying her head on my back.

Walking back to our home, knowing it was a good bite away, as me and father talked, looking back at the sleeping Mikasa on my shoulder.

Mr. Ackerman "tired your little sister, Rama" shaking his head.

"Haha she needed to learn one day, I just want what's best for my family" looking at him.

Walking up the house seeing mom outside talking to a man as a child, was standing next to him.

Mrs. Ackerman "how was it? Is mikasa ok" waving at us.

Mr. Ackerman "yes she's fine love, got the kill" pointing at my back, as we made our way to them.

"Hey old man" looking at grisha.

Mrs. Ackerman "Rama!...that's not the way we talk to guest" pulling my ear.

"Ahhh....Ahh, ok mama I'm sorry" pretending it hurt.

Grisha "it's fine haha, how are you Rama, you guys remember eren my boy?" As eren looked at me.

Mikasa "*yawn....are we home Rama" rubbing her eyes.

Eren "his eyes are still weird, I don't like it" pointing at me.

Grisha/mr. and Mrs. Ackerman "eren..."

Mikasa "take it back!" Getting off my back shouting.

Eren "huh what if I don't" stepping up.

Mikasa "take it back now, my brothers eyes are pretty!" Running at him, tackling him.

Eren "get off me!" Trying to get up.

Mrs. Ackerman "enough Mikasa" grabbing her.

Geisha "you too eren, now apologize" giving him a stern look.

"It's fine, I've heard it all before, I'm fine mom" who rubbed my cheek.

Grisha "calm as always Rama" looking at me with fascination.

Mr. Ackerman "come in, you said you wanted to check on Rama right" bring the dear to a slaughter table, and going towards the door.

Mrs. Ackerman "yes yes, come inside" while mikasa and eren look at each other.

Grabbing my arm me and mikasa walk in.

After settling down, I sat at a table while grisha, moved a candle light infront of my eyes.

Grisha " I can't see anything wrong, his eyes react the same as anyone elses, no sight loose or any vision abnormalities, it's seems to be The result of being a senju" taking his glasses off and looking at my parents.

Mrs. Ackerman "I just wanted to know, the senju..." about to say.

Mr. Ackerman "hunny not now" looking at me, eren and mikasa.

Grisha "I understand, well are you still going to come back with us to sell again, Carla is dying to see you again" smiling.

Mikasa "yeah mama I want to go" looking with puppy eyes.

"Yes mama you can't stay here alone" smiling.

Eren "why do they have to come with us!" Looking at me.

'Fuck I hate this little bitch' thinking to myself.

Mr. Ackerman " they are right love, can't be here alone" thinking my words were right, how could he leave his wife alone out here, shaking his head.

Mrs. Ackerman "alright alright, mikasa, Rama grab a few things, love get the furs and meat from Storage" agreeing and ordering us.

"Yes ma'am" saluting her like a solider.

Everyone "haha" at my antics.

After a while we all piled in the wagon, I had a white shirt, Black trousers, a black cloak that fit my body and a black blindfold with the senju clan symbol on it, knowing it was better to explain that I was blind.

Mrs. Ackerman "I'm so sorry Rama" saying to my father and grisha looking back at me.

Seeing mikasa laying back on my chest in her little red cloak, as I had my head turned out to the grass land.

Mr. Ackerman "it's fine hunny look at him" smiling.

She looks seeing my ever so happy smile, while patting mikasa head.

Grisha "I think he did it more for you then himself" looking back, seeing eren creep up to touch my long hair.

"Don't do it" without looking.

Eren "tch, only girls have long, pretty hair" pouting.

Everyone but eren "haha" looking at this.

Making it to the wall as the massive gate was open, after talks with the guards, they let us pass. Going towards the stand like areas and selling the the fur and meat, walking with mikasa who wanted sweets, as she was jumping up and down getting knocked over by someone walking, falling into me pulling my blindfold off.

Bending down I help her up.

Random woman "I'm sorry little on..." before I raised my head seeing my eyes and marks.

"Thank y...." looking at her face, I saw the disgust.

Random woman "mmmm..monster" picking up a stone throwing it at me.

Letting it hit me, covering Mikasa.

Other people "what's going on here" as they heard the women.

Random woman "it's a devil, look at his eyes!" Pointing to me.

Others "do you see that dugusting"

"That child is marked by a demon"

"Monster!"

"What's a monster doing in our city"

"Leave your not welcome here"

"Yeah leave, you monster"

Picking up stones or whatever they could find, throwing it as I use my body to cover mikasa.

Mikasa "Rama, why are they doing this too you!" Trying to get up.

"It's ok mikasa, just be still, we can leave" smiling at her.

Mrs. Ackerman "stop!" Running, seeing her children being hit.

Others "this boys a monster!" Stopping for a second.

Mrs. Ackerman "this....my son is not a monster! You hear me, this no way to treat a child!" looking at them with anger.

Mrs. Ackerman "....uh" small sound came out as rock struck her head, blood coming down.

others " serves you right, mother of a monster!" The person who threw it.

"What did you do to my mother!" My voice completely changing as the marks on my face grew larger, looking at my mother's face.

Before I could stand my mother runs to me grabbing my face, the blood running down the top of her left eye, smiling.

Mrs. Ackerman "no Rama, it's ok, I'm fine look at me, just calm down please." making me look in her eyes.

The marks on my face slowly go back to normal, looking at her smiling face, while grisha and my father run to us.

Mr. Ackerman "what happen!, who did this!?" Looking at moms face, anger growing.

Random woman "dr.Yeager this...this mons..." looking at the man most knew.

Grisha "he is not a monster, he is ill that's why he is with me" a cold voice came out catching people off guard.

While they though that it could be the case, as my father was still angered they all dropped there stones or whatever they had, trying too apologize too grisha.

Random woman "we did not know..." trying to get out words.

Mr. Ackerman "yet you did so anyway too my child and wife!" Getting up, before I grab his hand.

"It's ok papa, they do not know, what they do" smiling my same smile I usually do.

Mrs. Ackerman "there's my boy, you are not a monster, mother will always love you" rubbing my cheeks, hair and smiling.
