{Chapter 7}

"Everyone prepare your horses! We are leaving in 10 minutes!" Shouted Commander Erwin.

"Yes sir!" All the cadets and soldiers saluted to their superior. You saddled your horse and prepared your flare bag.

"....Monica....Scout!" You heard Erwin give everyone their positions for the long-scouting formation. "(F/n) (L/n)! You are in Standby with Levi squad."

"Yes sir." You replied joining Levi squad to the left. Everyone was wearing their Survey Corps uniform with 3DMG straps and their scouts cape. I hope this goes well.... you thought. I don't want to die young.... You all prepared to leave and waited for the gate to open.

"ONWARDS!" You hear Commander Erwin yell and everyone was charging towards the world beyond the walls.

~

You all camped at an abandoned village near the forest of big-ass trees. At least that's what Levi calls it. You were on patrol with a red flare in hand ready. You walked around the rooftops of camp admiring the beautiful view. How amazing is the world free of titans? You thought to yourself. Oh how I wish this would end- your thought was interrupted as you saw a red flare from the other side of the camp. It was Mike's flare signal. You ran down to the Commanders tent and reported. You were soon joined by Mike as the Commander told everyone what to do.

"Mike, how many?"

"Three normals sir, and I think there are two aberrants..." He sniffed the air.

"(F/n), Join Levi squad and protect Eren at all costs. Mike, alert Hanji and tell her not to do anything stupid." commanded Erwin adjusting his belts and blades. You followed Mike out of the tent to see a cadet trying to stop Hanji getting on her horse.

"Squad leader! It's-"

"I must! Humanity depends on it!" She yelled as she sped away on her horse." You groaned and saddled your own horse. You fired a purple flare. Even though it's not an emergency, everyone needs to know that Hanji has left on her own.

"Levi and (F/n)! You follow Hanji and keep her out of trouble! Everyone else will pack camp and prepare to battle!" Yells Erwin. You readied your horse and joined Levi towards the forest of big-ass trees.

"That four-eyes.....Always in trouble." You hear Levi mutter through the rough wind. He looked at you and smiled. He never smiles! You though happily, I always make him smile! That's a great thing!

"Don't die." You yell to him.

"Tch, watch yourself brat." he chuckled. The two of you raced through the forest trying to position Hanji and the titans.

"Levi?"

"Switch to 3DMG."

"Yes sir!" You grabbed your controller from inside your jacket and fired your wire onto a nearby tree. "Be safe Midnight. See you soon!" You whispered to your horse and you pulled the trigger hoisting you into midair. You hear her neigh in reply.

"Seems like horses can understand '(F/n) English' hehe." He teased you.

"Focus Levi." you tried impersonating Erwin.

"Yes Ma'am!" you laughed almost smashing into a tree for you were too distracted with Levi.

"Now you need to focus. You could've smashed into a titan and no doubt you will become titan food!"

"Ugh don't scare me, nows not the time." You complained.

"Tch, fine." said Levi returning to his normal self. You smiled to yourself and tried to find Hanji.

"There!" You practically screamed when you spotted a green cape.

"Come down here (F/n)!" yelled Levi over the wind. You dropped down to the ground with Levi as you two cautiously walked to the cape laying on the floor. As you went to pick it up, you found broken pieces of glass on it.

"It's definitely Hanji's, See here? It's the glass from her glasses." You explain showing it to Levi.

"Do you have a sample bag? Put the glass in there and the cape in your horse saddle."

"But I think Midnight went back to camp...." Levi cursed and stomped his foot. "Stupid crappy four-eyes!"

"Levi! Calm down!" You say hugging his waist from the back. He patted your hands and turned to face you.

"I'm calm. Now we need-" Before he finished, a 5-metre class appeared from nowhere and grabbed you both.

"Ahhh!" You screamed as you felt like your whole body was being crushed. You suddenly remembered that you always keep a small dagger in your controller belt. You tried your best trying to grab it without hurting Levi.

"Freaking hell brat that hurts!"

"I-I'm sorry! But I have a dagger here...." You pulled out the dagger and stabbed the titan's hand. The good thing was that it released you both. The bad thing was that you were falling. (It's not that high up but we need to make it cliche) Levi quickly grabbed your wrist and shot his wire onto a branch.

"ROARRRRRR!" You hear the titan as it tries to grab you again.

"You wait here, I'll take care of it." You say as you threw your blades to its eyes blinding it. Then, without effort, you shot your wire to its nape and sliced it perfectly. You fell along with it and jumped into Levi's arms.

"Good job." He congratulated you.

"Thanks." You climbed the tree until you reached the top. Skimming the view, you saw a small stream of smoke coming from the east. You slid down the tree to report to your captain.

"I think Hanji might've set up camp." says Levi whistling for his horse.

"No, it can't be, she wouldn't set up camp without Erw- I mean Commander Erwin's permission."

"Then who is it?"

"I don't know. But I have a bad feeling about this whole thing. We should head back to camp and report."

"Are you going to back out now?"

"No, I'm doing what I believe is right."

"Then you're a wimp!"

"Levi! Stop being like that!"

"What?! sometimes a soldier cannot back out!"

"Think what you like. I'm heading back to camp. I can't believe you Levi." You say trying to keep back the tears. Your vision blurred as you sped past the trees not looking out for danger. As you passed, you caught a titan's attention. And just your luck, there were two aberrants chasing you.

"Damn it! Seriously, give me a break!" You tried blinding the first one but it was fast. It dodged your attack leaving you shocked at its intelligence. It took its chance and grabbed you in its huge hand.

"Aghhhh!" Is this how I die? You thought. Instead of eating you, the aberrant threw you against a tree and let you fall to your death. Your body hit against the hard tree crushing your ribcage and cutting your smooth skin. As you fell, you felt the joy you haven't felt since your brother was alive. The feeling as if you didn't exist, the feeling as if your body weighed nothing. Then came the bad impact of smashing against the hard rocky ground. The cut on your head started to bleed badly. You noticed that your cape was ripped and part of it was hanging off a small branch.

Good. you thought At least they will find my body! As your eye lids began to feel heavy, the world around you started to spin. I'm meeting death again. Am I going to bleed out and die here?

"(F/N)!" you hear a voice call from the distance. "(F/n)! There you are!" through your burry vision, you saw Levi rushing towards you.

"L-Levi...."

"Shhhhh now, I'll take you back to HQ."

"No! I' not worth it-"

"Shut up! I'm sorry for all those things I've said before. I should be the one dying. My words drove you away, It's my fault!" Once again, you were experiencing death. Levi's warm tears washed away the blood on your face.

"I-I'm so sorry...."

"D-don't leave me..." He sobbed "Don't take my sunshine away from me...."

"I love you. Farewell...." you say as darkness swallowed you whole.
