So here we are, a person writing her first story that she's probably way too young to wright, but she doesn't give a crap. I have had the misfortune of completely fangirling over Levi the first time I watched the Attack on Titan anime, and even watching his spin off series. I have tried to find a story like this, but This mission failed, so I figured "why not just make my own?" 'Cause "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself", ya know? I hope you enjoy!
Commander Erwin, Hanji Zoe, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Conny, Sasha and Jean were standing in a swampy plains. There was an eerie mist that would make a grown man get chills.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" asked Hanji. She and Erwin were especially worried, as they knew that not much could bring down this short, but amazing man. They had known him for so long, and it seemed almost impossible that he would be in this situation. Although they had known him the longest, the new recruits were still very anxious about the upcoming event.
"Well, this is where it said on the parchment, so hopefully, yes", said commander Erwin. They were about half a mile outside the walls, so they were all hoping the Titans weren't active at two in the morning, Using Hanji's experiments to help ease their worries about this.
Suddenly, Mikasa straitened and pointed behind everyone. "Over there" she said, startling Conny, who had been drifting off into thought.
The clopping of hooves was heard as they turned around to see a light slowly becoming visible. A brown caravan was being pulled by four horses. It stopped around four meters away from everyone, slipping a little in the mud. Shortly after, three men hopped out. The man in front, obviously the leader, was about as tall as Erwin and had a dangerous look in his eyes. He was smirking at all of them, especially smug about something, and the group was about to find out what.;"Do you have what we asked for?" Rasped one of the henchmen. Erwin held up a package to confirm the answer to the disgusting man's question.
"Excellent. In that case, how 'bout we start this trade, shall we?"
The leader went into the caravan, only to drag out the person they've been searching for. Levi Ackerman.
Everyone gasped. The person they dragged out did not look like humanity's strongest soldier. His hair was disheveled;his usual pristine appearance had been broken. Levi looked up at Erwin, gray orbs lifeless and defeated. His hands were bound so tight that his wrists were beginning to bleed, and he had been gagged by a white cloth that had been tied around his mouth. From the looks of him, he hadn't been treated with care. His white shirt was slightly torn around the edges, and his pants were littered with large specks of blood.
"Well, are we gonna do this? Hurry up!" The leader kicked Levi hard, in the back of the leg, causing him to stumble. Erwin walked swiftly towards the leader, but Levi was a different story. The captain's walk was uneven. He was putting more weight on his left leg than his right, a very noticeable limp left the commander much more concerned.
By the time Erwin passed Levi, the short man was only a forth of the way to the others. While he was passing, he noticed a large gash in Levi's heel. No wonder he was limping. Erwin handed the package to the smug leader, giving him the death stare, wondering how he would make this man pay for what he's done if- no, when- he finds him again.
On the way back, he tried to help the stumbling Levi to the others, but the men wouldn't allow that.
"Hey! Let him make his own way back," the man said, throwing a rock at the defenseless and very shaky man, causing him to stumble and fall. "I'm sure humanity's strongest can make his way back on his own!" The men started to laugh and snort, but all Hanji could think was "what kind of bastard takes pleasure in this?"
By the time Levi was three fourths of the way there, he looked like he was ready to pass out, and that's exactly what he did when he got to the group. Eren, Armin, and Mikasa were at the front of the group, watching this horrific nightmare take place, when suddenly Levi fell. The three friends were the first to spot this, and caught him, surprised by his weight, as he was only five foot three. The three dragged him into one of the two caravans, resting him on the floor.
The group was about to leave, when suddenly Hanji lost it.
"YOU SICK BASTARDS!"
She started running at the sick men when Erwin grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. He pulled her back, giving her a disapproving look.
"Awww, what's wrong little girl?" The leader said smiling, "are you jealous your friend got to spend time with his uncle Kenny and you didn't?
Hanji was absolutely infuriated as she tried to lunge at the man, only to be pulled back by a very sympathetic commander.
They all went back to their designated caravans. Hanji and Erwin went with Levi, to check his wounds. Hanji was trying to figure out where the blood on his pants came from, when she flipped him on his stomach. She was disgusted at the sight, because she figured the captain hadn't just started his menstrual cycle. They also noticed that Levi was much more thin than when he went missing, hinting that he had been denied of food. This was just the start of the long list of injuries the captain had endured.
32 days earlier
Lance corporal Levi was sitting in his overly cleaned bedroom, drinking tea, and reading a book about the behavior of a titan. This short man was very smart, but the main thing he didn't know was the fact that he was being watched, as he had been for the past few years.
Levi got up to go to bed, when he heard a faint clank. He stopped dead in his tracks, and slowly turned around to see three men in his room, two running at him. He dodged the punch of one of the nasty men, grabbed his arm, and flipped him into a table. Then, as the second man lunged for him, he side stepped and grabbed the knife off his bedside table an threw it at him with amazing accuracy. It hit man in his throat, causing him to gurgle, and fall to the ground. The man who was flipped into the table got up, but not fast enough. Levi kicked the man in the gut, and sent his knife into his chest.
The threat was gone, so Levi calmly walked to the door to tell Erwin about the attack. He had his Hand on the handle, when he stopped.
"Wait... Weren't there thr-" his mouth was covered by a hand, and he was pushed to the ground, only to be kicked multiple times in the head. Humanity's strongest soldier lost consciousness.
"Nighty night, nephew".
Eren was cleaning the floor (Heichou's orders) when he heard a loud crash from upstairs. He figured Hanji was doing an experiment, so he just kept mopping. Then a yell, and some odd gurgling noises came. "Somthing is definitely not right up there" he thought. He went up the stairs only to see the rest of his group standing in awe, along with Hanji and Erwin in front of Levi Heichou's room. When he looked in, he saw Levi's tea set smashed on the floor and his bedside table had a large dent in it. Weirdest of all, there was a man with a hole in his neck, and one with with a knife stuck in his chest up to the hilt.
"Were's Levi Heichou?" Asked Connie, "I don't see him, and that's not just because I'm stupid, right?
Instead of the usual "shut up stupid!", Armin pointed at the open window. "Well, I don't think he's in the headquarters ".
Welp, that concludes the first chapter to my first story! I will have the next chapter up as soon as possible!
The reason Levi didn't see the third man (his uncle Kenny), was because he hid under his bed, only to pop out when Levi was heading to the door.
