I climbed up the stairs, walking quickly. I reached the office and took in a sharp breath, looking at the dusty, messy /I rapped my hand on his door, standing /"Come in, Levi," Erwin said as I placed my hand on the door. Erwin and I acknowledged each other with our eyes as I took the seat adjacent to /"Levi, I'm sure you are busy, but I have a new recruit for you, her name is Payton Dramer. She is currently in my custody and I want you to have her in your squad." Erwin said, passing me the file. I opened it and scanned the contents: 5" 7', brown eyes, black hair, good soldier, placed in Erwin's squad immediately, graduated from the 93rd /"Why am I getting stuck with this brat?" I asked, looking at her /"Because you need her. Something has been brought to our attention that I cannot tell you about at the moment, but I will brief you ASAP." Erwin said, picking up another /"When is she arriving?" I asked, looking over each of the notes that was sloppily scribbled on the /"She is already being briefed by Petra at the new location," Erwin said passing me the file that contained information on where we were moving. I sighed and closed both files. Erwin dismissed me and I walked out. Why the hell was a higher up from Erwins squad coming into my squad, and why was she immediately placed in Erwin's squad? These thoughts passed through my head as I got on my horse. I rode back to the old location, quickly packing the little things I had.

The carriage stopped and I got out, my boots clicking with each step. I was greeted by a blonde and she grinned, so I mustered a fake smile and looked at her. I turned my back to her and grabbed my bag out of the back. I strode up to the castle and she greeted /"Finally, someone normal to talk to," she said, smiling widely. "Hi! I'm Petra, I'll be briefing you until Captain Levi gets here," she said, outstretching her hand. I grabbed it and /"I'm Payton," I said letting /"Come on, I'll show you to your room," Petra said walking into the dirtied castle. I grimaced and walked after /"So, we are leaving for an expedition in a couple of days, so we will probably only get about 5 hours to rest. Probably less depending on Levi," Petra /"Why is that?" I asked as we walked up the /"Oh, you'll see," she said, frowning a little. I narrowed my eyes but continued to follow. We stopped at a door and Petra motioned for me to go in. I turned the rusty handle and walked in, admiring the room. In Erwin's squad we didn't stay in one place often, always fighting titans or finding something /"What do you think?" Petra asked, interrupting my /"It's nice," I said, looking at the dusty /"It must be smaller than most of the places you've had with Erwin's squad," Petra said. I grimaced at her words and blocked the memories from entering my /"It is even better," I said, gritting my teeth. A knock on the door brought me out of my anger and I looked at the open door. A man with neat and shaggy black hair and thin looking eyes strode /"We are starting to clean. Petra you're with Oluo cleaning the basement and kitchen, Payton you are outside with the stalls and weeds," the guy said, walking /"Who the hell was that?" I asked, throwing my bag on the bed, uplifting /"That was Captain Levi," Petra said walking out to go clean. I sighed and walked back outside. I headed towards the stall where the horses were standing in the gross stalls. I wrinkled my nose and walked to the pasture, grabbing a rake. I hummed to myself as I cleaned, relaxing into my new surroundings. I scooped everything into the wheelbarrow and rolled it to where there was a blank spot. I tipped it over and rolled it in front of the first stall. I led all of the horses into pasture and started mucking the stalls. I finished quickly and brought the horses back. I didn't mind cleaning things that had to with horses, they remind me of my old life, my old /I shook my head free of the thoughts and walked to get the hay bales. I put each hay bale for the horses and put a tack box next to each stall for the owners. I frowned when I realized my horse wasn't here yet. I sighed and walked away, slipping on my gloves and starting to pull the weeds. After about 40 minutes of standing in the blazing sun pulling weeds, I finished. I sniffed my arm and wrinkled my nose at how gross I smelt. As I started to return to the castle, Levi walked /"Oi, Payton did you finish?" He asked, staring at /"Yes Captain," I responded, standing straight. He nodded and motioned for me to follow as he went to check my work. We walked around the stalls and around the castle, inspecting the area for any missed /"You did better than these fools," Levi said as we walked back into the castle. I glanced at everyone who was busy probably redoing their work. I smirked and walked to my room, grabbing my clothes and heading into the shower, relaxing a little more as I soaked. I let my hair down once it dried, running my brush through the tangles. I laid back down on my freshly made bed, letting the wet hair spots on my uniform dry. I let my thoughts drift, thinking about what my next move would be. Obviously I would be here, but what about when I see Erwin? How am I supposed to act? How will he act? Almost, as if on cue, a knock was on my /"Who is it?" I asked , picking my head up a little. A male I didn't recognize walked in and was holding a bouquet of /"Hi! I'm Oluo, I'm with you in this squad." He said, smiling brightly. I put on my fake smile and looked at /"I'm Payton,"I said, brushing that same damn strand of hair behind my /"You'll meet Eld tomorrow, but these came for you," he said handing me the flowers. He turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. I looked at the flowers in disgust and picked the card off of them. I opened it and recognized the handwriting almost immediately./span/p

Petra lined the table with bowls filled with stew and utensils.I took a seat and Petra slid next to me. Across from us sat Oluo and Levi sat at the head of the table. They talked about the upcoming expedition and Levi and I sat /"So Payton, why'd you get bumped down?" Oluo /"Oluo!" Petra yelled, kicking under the /"I am not at liberty to say," I simply said, finishing my food. I stood up and walked to the kitchen, cleaning my plate. I slipped outside and ran to the stables, hoping my horse was finally here. To my happiness Phoenix greeted me by raising her head in acknowledgement. I grinned and let myself into her stable. I grabbed the tack box and started brushing her mane, singing to myself. I lifted her top mane to see the red growing underneath, I remember when I had to dye her mane black just so I could keep her as my horse in the squad. Then I just sewed on some other horses black mane to keep the red to make her unique. I smiled and laid her fake top mane back down, petting the red. She neighed in happiness and I laughed, for once in about 10 years. I frowned and continued to clean /"So what's her name?" Levi's voice rang through the /"Phoenix," I said as he walked in, picking up a brush and starting to brush /"How'd she get that name?" He asked and my brow furrowed, but I answered /"My mothers name," I said as I reached to brush her forehead. She put her head on my shoulder as if we were hugging and I patted her /"So what did happen between you and Commander Erwin?" Levi asked. I froze as the memories started flooding my mind. Do not cry I said to myself as I shook my /"Nothing important," I said as I /"It's late and you don't need to be out here any longer to catch a damn cold.

We walked in slilence back into the castle to see that Oluo and Petra had gone to /"Goodnight Payton," Levi said as he walked up the /"Night," I said following him. I walked into my room and laid down, pulling the blanket over me as I kicked off my shoes. My eyes got heavy and I fell into a deep sleep./span/p
