Chapter 031

I open my eyes. Was that mom who I saw now. Was that person Violet's father and who is the real Violet? What did the monkey mean? I sat up to see everyone on the wall. Was this all that survive. I felt someone's hand. I turn to see Eren.

"Violet are you feeling better"

I nodded.

"Then we should probably head down. The others are waiting for us to head down to where it all started. I am sure you want to go home as well."

His hand was held out to me. I look at him.

His eyes look pretty. I grab his hand and I was brought to my feet.

His eyes won't stay the same and I know that.

I went down to the ruins of what used to be of this village. We were to take off to Eren's home and then to mine. I grasp the gem in my hand. Mom little by little am learning the secrets to who I am.

I walk into the Yeager home once again. It was all chaos. My house should be over there. I stop  in front of the building. Mother was killed over there. I look to where my house should have been. I felt someone's hand.

"Aye brat hurry in, we will go there next."

It was the Captain. I was hesitant. My feet couldn't move inside. I should turn away and run to my home. Should I but will that make me suspicious. I turn in the direction of my house.

"We are in this together Violet. Don't even think about it"

Mikasa grab my wrist so tight. She brought me inside. We walked down the stairs to where the basement was. Each step was slow and steady. Eren took the key off from his neck. He open the door. It made a loud cracking noise. I walked inside. It was just as what I remember.

Mikasa and Eren were looking around. The rest join them. I walk to the desk and found the secret to it.

"I found it."

I set the journal on the table. Eren came next to me. I push the book to him. He should see what it has.I place my hand to the side of me. Someone's hand interlocked with mine. I look down to see Eren holding my hand. I think he is nervous.

The content in the journal was what I knew already. I dozed off. I felt something fall to my feet. It was a smaller book.

I let go of Eren's hand and pick it up. It had something written on it.

The Saito FamilyIt hands nothing.

But I remember that name from the dream. Could it be related to Violet's father?

"Violet what's wrong"

"I have to go home"

I drop the book and ran up the stairs. Could I really be home? I made it out. That is the direction of my home. I ran to where my home was.

It was still standing but it had the hole where the titan grabs my mother. I fell to my knees.

Tears feel down my cheek.

"I want to be selfish but live. I want you to live strong and healthy. Please my daughter live and save the people you care about. Even if you are not Violet. Please live for her."

She really is gone. How long has it been? 5 years hasn't it.

"Violet you can't just run like that"

I heard Eren's voice.

"Look at you dam."

He came running and stood me up. I look at him. It was him who would always bring me out. Behind him would always be Mikasa and Armin.

It was like back then.

"Eren my house isn't ruined. The hole was where the titan had grabbed my dead mother. Not sparing her body."

I clench my fist.

"Brat next time don't run here. You are disobeying orders."

I walk inside my house. It felt much smaller. I look down on the floor to see the old trail of blood.

They all came inside. Hange observed everything.

"Violet why is their bloodstains here"

"That's my mother's blood. When the wall was broken. I ran here and I found her almost dead on the floor. My mom was murder by someone before the fall of wall Maria"

Her eyes widen. I walk around the blood. I saw the dining table. I walked upstairs to my mother room. It was the lock. I don't have the key. I kick the door open. It was dusty and had spiderwebs everywhere. If I remember correctly they were behind her closet. I remember I wanted to find more information about Violet so I snoop around. I push the closet. There it was the secret box. I grab it.

I walk downstairs to where they were looking.I handed it to Hange. The box was filled with albums and other things. I didn't get to see everything back then.

"This is what I saw back then. It was something my mother would look at each night. I hope you believe my mother is not bad. She may have hidden this but I hope she can't be a curse even in death."

She grabs the box and sets it on the table. The pictures were mostly of random things. That doesn't exist here but over there.

They had gotten a small notebook.

The Saito Family

They open it but I widen my eyes. There was a man but that's not what surprises me. Violet was there too. She looks older at the bottom it had what I think my mother's handwriting.

Axel SaitoViolet Saito

I knew Violet was from the outside world but she looks around 6 or 7 in this picture, they all turn to me.

I remain shocked. I grab the book in my hand. Is this man my father? Is he my father? He looks like me a lot.

The writing on the book was of her. It was her writing. She would teach me how to write. I flip to the next page. I was shocked by what was on the next page. The person was the one who appear in the dream.

Violet Saito

I read the name. It was the same as mine. But who is she? I don't know who she is. She had the same golden blond. I flipped the pages to see multiple people after one. There are so many with the same last name and hair color. Who were these people?

"Brat you are in that picture. And by the looks of it. You are from the outside walls."

She touches my shoulder. I drop the book onto the floor.

"Do you not remember these people."

She picks up the book.

I look at her. It was Hange. What am I supposed to say? I don't remember those memories. I sat few fragments but that's all.

"I don't remember, I told you that I don't remember anything. I just don't  know. Am not sure who that man is. I never remember seeing him."

I touch the gem. Could that be why he said those words? Could Violet had died because she saw. It hit me that was the case.

"Why are you accusing her of that. So what if Violet is from the outside world. She fought alongside us. She killed hundredths of titans. Since day one have you not seen her train. What could she have known better? So don't accuse her."

"Yes, I agree with Eren. He is right about Violet. She is innocent."

"You better not make any judgment because of that book"

All three of them were standing up for me. How could they trust me too much? I don't even trust myself fully.
