This story may in future chapters contain yaoi, maybe.* There will most likely be multiple pairings in this story. Enjoy, read and review.
Jean flew through the trees, a faster than normal speed, but with good cause, he was being chased by a man eating titan. The scouting legion had traveled far outside of the walls in attempt to find Eren, again. Jean, being cocky, decided to go his own way through the trees. He claimed he saw someone. Now he was trying to get back to the safety of his comrades, the green line of smoke in the sky telling him they found Eren. Jean, getting sick of the titan chasing him, swiftly killed it before landing on a high up branch to scan his surroundings. In the distance, a few trees away, he saw something hanging. He couldn't tell what it was. It was black and seemed to be hanging from something that was caught on a tree. He wanted to go look to see what it was, but knew if he didn't get back he would be counted as casualty and left behind. He began walking away, until he saw the dangling object move. He turned and looked at it. Suddenly realizing what it was he immediately ran to it.
Eren was on the back of the wagon, Mikasa sat by his side. Levi walked around and counted casualties, which he wasn't to happy about.
"Have y'all seen Jean?" Armin asked as he walked up.
Mikasa shook her head no and a few others glanced around to see if they could see him.
"Wasn't he with y'all when you found me? I thought I saw him." Eren mumbled trying to keep consciousness.
"No, he went off on his own." Mikasa said.
"He said he saw someone and thought they could help find you." Connie said to Eren.
Levi walked up to Armin. "Brat, did you find Jean? Or is he another one I'll have to add to the list of dead." He didn't look, nor sound, happy.
Armin shook his head and looked away. Levi nodded, everyone looked sad, another friend lost, another death Eren will blame on himself. Just as Levi was about to write Jean as MIA they heard a noise.
"Captain! Sir forgive my absence." Jean spoke and they all turned. A few gasps could be heard.
"What the fuck is this, Kirschtein?" Levi asked, nodding to the large black object that Jean's cape was currently wrapped around, before looking back to his clipboard to scratch out what he wrote.
"Captain, if you cannot see what this is, then maybe you should get your eyes checked." Jean spoke rudely.
Levi looked up from his clipboard, anger appearing across his face. He looked from Jean to the object in his arms. He dropped his clipboard and walked over to Jean quickly.
It was a girl, a young girl, no older than Eren. She had silver hair pulled into a bun. Her skin was pale, at least it looked it for what you could see of her skin. Most of her body was covered in black clothing, all of it had buckles. She had black boots and black gloves missing the fingers. To finish it off was a belt that held her shirt and her pants together, making them look like one piece of clothing.
Commander Erwin came over at the commotion. He looked at the small girl for awhile, gently touching her face with his fingers. They all just stood there, Levi seemed extremely confused, Erwin just stood there petting the unconscious girl, Hanji was watching them from the other side of the group, nobody knew what to do with her.
"Why the hell did you bring her here?" Levi asked.
"I wasn't just going to leave her out there to die."
Erwin nodded as Hanji walked up. She gave one look to the girl before pulling her out of Jean's grasp.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Jean yelled.
"Stop speaking rudely to your superiors fucking brat." Levi yelled.
"I'm taking her with me, we can't leave her out here, I don't know what we will do with her, how she got out here, where she's from, there's a lot of questions that need to be answered."
"You don't even know what the fuck that girl is capable of. She could be another damn titan shifter, and she might not be on our side! What the hell are you going to do if she wakes up and attacks us?" Levi spoke loudly.
"I'm sure we can handle it." Erwin spoke.
"Erwin you need to get back on the horse, you're missing an arm you're at more risk than the rest of us. I'll take care of the girl when we return. I'll watch her until she wakes up." Hanji said before walking off.
"Damnit four eyes, she's a girl, not your new test subject." Levi yelled at her.
"I think I know that Levi."
Hanji carried the girl to the cart where Eren sat and placed her into it. Eren looked at her then back to the pissed and worried looking Levi, you would have to know him to see the worry part. Mikasa placed her hands on her sword, ready if anything happened. Armin placed his hand on her shoulder, smiling a reassuring smile to her before sitting next to the girl. Jean walked over and dropped some stuff into the cart and took his cape off her and draped it over the stuff.
After they finished tallying deaths they began on their way back to the wall. As they got to the wall a few random members took their capes off and laid it over the girl to hide her. None of the captains or the other soldiers questioned this action, they knew if the young girl was seen she would be taken away by the military police. They carried on, ignoring the dirty looks and rude comments they got. They just continued to their base, heads held high, despite losing so many.
When they got to the base Hanji took the girl out of the cart and straight inside. Ignoring any questions from her fellow officers. She took the girl to the infirmary and began to examine her, removing the cloths and checking for injuries. She found a gash on her head and cuts all over her fingers. There were multiple scars on her torso, none looked like they were from a titan. Satisfied that the girl was okay for the most part, she covered her up, reluctantly chained up her wrists, and gathered her clothes.
"So where did you find her Jean?" Sasha asked as she stuffed her face.
"She was dangling in a tree. She had some stuff with her, its in my room. There was a bag and some swords."
"Thats the stuff you put in the cart right? How did you get that past Levi?" Armin asked. "I can understand Erwin and Hanji, they don't check everything very well, but Levi checks everything twice."
"He was so focused on her that he didn't even notice." Jean was less cocky and more worried it seemed, his face looked deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about Jean?" Connie asked.
"There was something weird about her. She was so small, her height, her body frame, she looked fragile, like a porcelain doll, but she was so heavy, she looked like she would only weigh a hundred pounds but she weighed a few hundred at least. It was surprising. If I wasn't in the military I probably wouldn't have been able to lift her so easily."
Levi and Erwin stood behind Jean, listening to him. Levi was getting irritated, there was no way, to him, that Jean was telling the truth. That small girl, who was smaller than him, could not weigh that much.
"So your fucking sitting here telling these gullible brats that that woman weighed almost three hundred fucking pounds? Are you a fucking idiot." Levi spoke up.
"Actually it's more like about two hundred and fifty, but close enough, I mean who's counting?" Hanji said, walking in carrying the girls clothes. "And this would be why." She dropped the clothes on the tables, making a loud clanking noise.
"Is that made of metal?" Erwin asked using his remaining hand to pick up the heavy shirt.
"Yes, multiple sheets of very strong, durable metal, covered in a thick layer of leather. The buckles on the clothes pull the metal together to form one solid form of protection." Hanji said, tossing the pants to Levi. "The boots are leather, the only metal seems to be in the toes. The girl, without this on, probably only weighs about a hundred pounds."
"Damn. I was right." Jean said, earning a visual death threat from Levi.
"She also wore gloves that had no metal, they seemed to be to protect her hands, but the fingers not being there have done their damage." Hanji said holding up the leather material. "I don't really know where any of her injuries are from, none look to be from a titan."
"So, brat, sense you 'so cleverly' hid things from us, why don't you tell us now. Where the fuck did you put her stuff?" Levi said. "And your punishment for hiding things from your superior officer will be muck duties for a week and cleaning the bathrooms, all of them."
"My room, they're in my damn room." Jean said looking pissed. "Theres a black bag and two swords."
Levi walked off, going to get the bags, he passed the infirmary on his way, stopping to look inside, the girl was covered up in the bed asleep. Hanji walked up behind him and shooed him away. She told him to bring the stuff back to the infirmary, her and Erwin would be waiting there for him.
When he got back with the items Hanji took them and began on examining them. She started with the swords, her and Levi each picked one up and unsheathed it.
"Wow, these are high quality metal. Looks really sharp too." Hanji seemed excited.
She laid down her sword and opened the bag, looking inside. She gasped, sticking her hand down into it.
"You're going to hurt yourself." All three of them about jumped out of their skin. Hanji turned to the girl on the infirmary cot, finding two silver orbs looking back.
"Um, I'm sorry for snooping." Hanji said, removing her hand from the bag. "May I ask what your name is?"
"Can I have my clothes back?" The young girl said as she pulled her arms up and jingled the chains. She sat up, holding the blanket in place so nothing inappropriate could be seen.
"Don't answer a question with a fucking question brat." The short grumpy male said.
Hanji waved her hand in his face, signaling to shut up, then nodded to the girl and left, leaving the naked girl with two men. Levi and Erwin turned their back to her, out of respect, shocking that Levi even has any. Hanji came back with a white shirt and a pair of white jeans, handing them to the girl.
"Not my clothes but better than nothing I suppose." She dropped the blanket and Hanji freaked out chasing the two males out of the room. She came back in the the girl sat shirtless with the pants on. She raised her hands and shook the chains again. Hanji gave her a sad look and shook her head.
"Sorry they have to stay on until I know you're safe."
"There wasn't much point in giving me a shirt then." The girl spoke rudely. "My name's Alice. Where am I?"
Hanji nodded and looked the girl over, she looked uncomfortable, yet there was definitely a difference between her awake and her asleep. When she was asleep she seemed delicate, now she definitely had an air of danger around her.
"Well, Alice, you are inside wall rose." Erwin spoke, coming back in the room. The girl named Alice looked at him, confused, and pulled the blanket back up.
"Wall rose?" Alice was completely confused. "Where is that?"
"Are you a fucking idiot. You must be. You know, Wall Maria, wall Rose, and wall Shina, the damn cage of the last of humanity." Levi said. "The only thing that has kept the fucking human race alive for the past hundred years." Levi had walked in as well and looked irritated.
"I like it when you get mad at me. Yell some more and give me a reason to bite your tongue off." Alice growled.
"Are you threatening me brat." Levi growled back.
"Alright, alright thats enough. Y'all have bad attitudes, yall could be best friends just by the way you talk to others." Hanji said.
"Anyways, you are mistaken, I do not live here, and my people are living just fine. So your stupid fucking walls aren't keeping the 'human race' alive." The smart ass tone of Alice's voice just made Levi more mad.
Before anything could get out of hand, Erwin stepped between them.
"That's enough." He said, his voice strong and powerful. "Alice, what do you mean you don't live here? Humans haven't survived outside the walls for a century." His voice didn't falter. "Are you suggesting to me that there are more humans, ones like you, that are beyond the walls. Humans that can live amongst the titans."
"Now, now, I never said those words. Yes I come from a place beyond the walls, no we do not live amongst the titans, but we do not hide from them either." Alice spoke. "If you wish to know more about my home you must gain my trust." She looked at Levi. "And so far I have reasons not to trust you."
"What the fu-" Erwin's hand silenced Levi before he could finish.
"No offence to you, but we don't exactly have a reason to trust you either." Erwin said.
"Of course not, if you wish to know about me personally then ask. I have nothing to hide."
"What the fuck was in that bag." Levi asked rudely.
Alice gestured to the bag. "Look." The look in her eyes was a deadly look, rather scary to be honest. Levi walked over after Hanji, she already knew. She reached in while everybody watched and pulled the things out, one by one. First was a set of about ten throwing knives, all sheathed in their own holder. Next was small bottles of some sort of pinkish purple liquid. Followed by needles half full of a clear yellow liquid. Three guns came out next, handguns like they had never seen before. Some more needles, these with a clear water like liquid. A roll of medical tape and some bandages. At the bottom of the bag was a huge dog collar with what looked to be built in mic and speakers.
"I'll start with the first thing." Erwin said. "Why carry such small blades to fight titans" he was messing with the throwing knives.
"Simple, titans aren't the only danger out there. On top of that, those do more damage than you think they can, so be careful or you'll hurt yourself." Erwin set the knife down at that comment.
"What's in the bottles, and the needles" Hanji said excitedly.
"The purple is poison, it eats away at flesh and destroys titan regeneration ability. The yellow is an antidote, in case said poison were to get in a humans body. The clear is used to speed up the healing process, it can save a persons life if used right." Alice said swiftly without a second thought. Hanji opened her mouth but Levi interrupted her.
"I've never seen guns like these. What kind are they?" He asked, playing with the gun.
"They are semi-automatic pistols. They are used mainly as a way of self defense. And if the bullets were dipped in poison it could do damage to a titan."
"What is semi-" Levi got cut off.
"Back to my questions." Hanji pulled the attention back to her. "How did you make this poison? And the healing agent?"
"Thats my business."
"Answer the damn question brat." Levi forgot all about what he was about to ask.
"Levi, dont be rude." Erwin spoke up before Levi could say more. "What is the collar for?"
"If he wants to know so bad he should ask my father. I don't make any of it, I get it from the medics and wolf keepers. The collar is for Luna, my wolf."
"There is no fucking way there's a wolf this fucking big." Levi raised his voice.
"Whatever you wanna think short man. Isn't there something you were going to ask about the guns?"
Levi got pissed and started to walk over to her but Erwin grabbed him. "Just ask your question Levi."
"What the fuck is 'semi-automatic'?" He growled out, jerking away from Erwin.
"It's a gun that can reload itself, shorty." Alice said, watching as Hanji unlocked her wrists.
She looked over and noticed the two men were gone, so she put on the shirt and stood stretching. Hanji walked to the door and waited on the silver hair woman to follow. As they walked from the room, they saw Erwin press Levi against the wall, he backed up when they walked out. Alice momentarily thought about what they could have been doing, but not bothering to ask.
As soon as the females began to walk away Levi lunged forward right before being caught in a headlock by his superior.
"Calm down Levi, don't charge in to fight someone you don't even know." Erwin released him.
"I swear to fucking god Erwin, me and her aren't going to survive together on this base and I'll be damned if I let her beat me."
Levi stormed away after that, going to his office and sitting down. He organized some papers and dusted the shelves, calming himself down. Finally finished he walked out of the office and down the hall, it was late so all the soldiers were sleeping. As he passed the infirmary he peaked inside, only to find the short silver haired girl gone. With slight irritation he began looking for her, searching everywhere without success. He was about to wake Erwin when he noticed the door to the roof was cracked, he looked through the open door and found what he had been searching for. Alice sat on the edge of the roof, looking up to the moon. He watched her for awhile, her small frame glowing in the dim light. He opened the door all the way and snuck up behind her, reaching out his hand.
"What do you want Captain." She said without looking at him.
He pulled his hand back, "To find out why you aren't chained up in the infirmary."
"I guess because, unlike you, she trusts me."
"I have every reason not to trust you."
"You have no reason not to trust me. I answered your questions didn't I?"
"I have lost many friends due to peoples decisions to trust." Levi said. "My decisions including."
"That is nobody's fault. Nobody knows the future Captain Levi. You can chose to trust me or not, but shouldn't you chose to trust your fellow officers judgment and trust as well."
"And who's to say you won't try to kill us all."
"If I really wanted to try, don't you think I would have already." Alice looked at him. "Anyways, where I come from, all life is valued, it is looked down upon to view yourself as better than other life, and is common, and a moral rule, to put others before yourself, even if you dont know them and it could cost you your life."
"Many people die that way."
"Nobody dies while I'm around, I will sacrifice everything to keep that one soldier alive."
Levi stood behind the girl and watched as she looked to the sky. He looked up to the stars, then back down to her. His eyes met the eyes of the girl. She stood and walked past him.
"Goodnight Captain, you should get some rest."
Alice walked to the infirmary where she laid in a bed and watched the roof. If sleep was possible she gladly would, but for her, it was close to impossible to sleep.
I will write the next chapter soon, I still have to write more for Attack On Alice.
