Chapter 30: The End
Apparently, Mina and her friends were killed for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Four days ago, a woman was killed by my mother and they witnessed it. My mother saw them and attacked them. One boy, Thomas, was the one closest to my mother. She jumped on him and killed him the same way she did to her victims. Nick was grabbed by the ankle. She pulled him down and the same thing. Mina, was the last to be killed. She slipped and hit her head, making her go unconscious. She didn't know she was going to be killed anyway. Awake or not.
It's all my fault. If I had told someone about her sooner and searched for her, they'd be alive right now. But I didn't and that's what I have to live with for the rest of my life.
Or maybe she would even gotten away and we would not had found out that she was responsible. Thomas was able to scratch her. He barely did but he was able save many lives.
My mother was interrogated for days. Loopy, laughing, mad in the room. She acted like she was at the circus. In the end, she confessed to all the gruesome murders across the three walls. It horrifying to me. I don't think I can ever to see her the same way again.
She also confessed about an old man that used to run an apartment complex near the wall. 'That was my first' she would say ' and I would never forget how his blood made me feel.' She would smile and giggled and say it was splendid, purifying, and even down right the best damn feeling in the world. This wasn't the mother I knew.
Not even a little.
After a few weeks, she was on trial once and was already proven and convicted as guilty. She was given the death penalty. Lethal injection is what everyone calls it. I don't want to hear something like that. It hurts as well. She might have been a mass murderer but she was still my mother no matter how much I reject that idea.
I didn't see my friends for awhile. I have been ignoring them to avoid judgement or hatred by them. My mother kill people that their knew or even friends. I didn't even see Eren too. I'm scared for my life as it morphed into something that nobody planned for.
But I guess I as wrong because the day after the trial, they barged into the cafe angry at me for not relying on them enough. Sasha, Connie, and even Krista who heard the news, came and cried on me. I got a few punches from everyone else but then they either ruffle my hair or have me a hug. Eren hugged me the highest out of all of them. I felt so happy to have friends like them.
I was given dirty looks from eveyone because of what happens but my friends stood up for me. I was protected by them. I felt important to them as they were to me.
Three months later, my mother was given the injection. She watched met he entire time as I sat next to my father. She smiled the same way she always did until she closed her eyes, marking the end of her life. I cried in my father's arms for a very long time.
I spent more time with my father. We got to learn more about each other. He told me stories about his childhood, how my grandparents and aunt were like, and his times in the military. Armin became one of my closest friends. He was understanding and kind to me and I was to him. Lucas loves me for being a great sister to him for liking similar things. I couldn't agree more. Petra taught me more girly things. It was hard but I pulled threw.
There was a mass grave erected by the government for the victims of the Aberrant Killer. I went there time to time, leaving flowers as an apology and my guilt. I couldn't change anything but I could show them my feelings for them. Eren came with me too sometimes and would hug me whenever I started to cry.
My life was flipped upside down the day she disappeared. I had to experience so many new things. I made so many important friendships along the way. I experienced death, heartbroken sadness, and s much guilt. Many people would tell me it wasn't my fault but I couldn't really accept that no matter what. I experienced family and love.
Five years later changed Many things. Many people moved on from the mass killer and continued to move forward. Eren and I got married. So did Armin with Annie, Sasha and Connie as well.
Reiner and Bertholdt disapeared after high school. Rumor has it that they ran away together to be with each other and never be bothered again.
Jean and Marco got together in college and were happier than ever.
Krista, I mean Historia, legalized same sex marriage in the walls. She even came out with Ymir to announce it.
My father still runs the cafe with my mother Petra. Levi is still the same as ever with Hanji with their daughter Annabell who has a crush on Lucas. Learning that, Levi became super protective.
Life was become blissful. I was something I could get used too. I looked forward everyday to new beginnings and happy endings. Time to time, I would think about my mothe and those who had died but I would bring myself it o reality and face forward.
There is no reason to look back at the past no matter how dark or broken it was. You just keep moving forward and achieve your own happy ending.
Well that's the end! It took me a while but I finished this story! I was going make more chapters but I think just pulling it together will be better and finally give a happy ending to everyone!
