Hello again!
So here it is, part 3 of the lifes series. Haven't you read the two first parts I suggest you do so. The first part is Life - Begins, followed by the second part Life - Without you. I do want to preaper you that I haven't gotten time to write to much on this part since I hadn't finished the second part when I started to uplode it. So far I've written three chapters on this part (yeah, I'm ashamed of myself) and of course I my life is full of things to do at the moment so I don't know when I will get time to sit down and write. I'll hope there will only be a few delays with the uploding and not that it will take weeks between chapters. As always I will let you know when there will be a delay and I'll make sure to uplode as soon as possible. Well, that's it for me. I hope you all will enjoy this next part of my story as much as I enjoy to write them.
Love xXxFangirlForeverxXx


I opened my eyes. Slowly they adjusted to the light in the room and at last I found myself lying in a bed, staring up at a ceiling I didn't recognize. I blinked, trying to remember where I was and how I got here. Then suddenly the pictures of the titan, panicked people and being knocked to the ground came flashing in my head. I sat up in the bed, breathing heavily and tears running down my cheeks.

"Valerie." Someone spoke besides me and I turned my head. Caleb was sitting in a chair besides the bed, worry and choke clear on his face.

"Caleb." I whispered. He stood from the chair. "What happened? The titans, they attack again. What…" I silence when he pulled me into a hug.

"Thank god, you're awake." I blinked, surprised over his reaction.

"Caleb, what happened?" I asked, more calmly. He pulled away and sat down on the bedside.

"More importantly, are you alright?" He asked and looked at me.

"Yeah…I'm fine." He breathed out, relived.

"When I found you I was afraid that you…" He silenced, lowering his eyes. I watched him, remembering I blacked out when I hit the ground.

"Ahh ma'am, good to see you finally awake." Both me and Caleb looked towards the door in the room. An older man with greying hair and a white coat came into the room. I realized I was in a hospital. "Doctor James Hollow." He said extending his hand to me. Caleb had stood up from the bed.

"Valerie Evans." I answered him and he nodded in agreement.
"Very good, you remember you're name. What else do you remember?" He asked and smiled down at me.

"The titans broke through the wall in Trost." The man nodded again. "And I blacked out."

"Yes, that's right. How are you feeling?" He asked me and I could tell he examined me with his eyes.

"I'm fine, a little confused." He nodded again and after a short moment he reached out his hand and touched my head. It was a light touch but enough to make me flinch in pain.

"You hit you're head pretty hard, but you're lucky Private Turner found you before the titans or else a sore head would have been the least of you're problem." He smiled at me but I still felt confused and wanted explanation about what happened. "However I would like you to stay a night for observation, in case. You never know with these kind of damages." He said and turned to Caleb. "Well, I leave you for now. Mrs Evans, Private Turner."

"Thank you doctor!" Caleb said and the man lifted his hand, shaking it as if it was nothing to thank for and then left the room. Caleb breathed out again and looked at me with a small smile. Again he sat down in the chair by the bed and I looked at him, determined to find out what had happened.

"What happened?" The relieved look on his face turned wary and worried. "The titans attacked again?"

"Yeah, they broke through again, but thankfully there were no civilian casualties." He leaned forward in the chair and looked down at the ground, avoiding my eyes. "And we managed to re-take Trost." I looked at him with wide eyes, it sounded unbelievable. I knew for a fact that the survey corps had been on expedition and that left the military police, garrison and trainees to protect and defend the wall. It sounded unlikely that these forces would manage to re-take Trost District. Suddenly I realized something and looked up at Caleb again. "What about Eren and the others?" He froze and didn't say a word. I starred at him with wide eyes. "Caleb." Still he said nothing. "Caleb, what about them?" I raised my voice and he sighed loudly.

"They're alive." He said and I stared at him, relaxing slightly but understood something wasn't right since his behaviour was so strange.

"What is it you're not telling me?" I asked and he looked up at me. "Tell me!"

"Eren has been imprisoned and there's going to be a trial deciding upon his future." I stared wide eyed at him.
"Im…Imprisoned, why?"

"I'm not allowed to discuss the matter; in fact I wasn't allowed to tell you anything."

"Where is he?" I was about to get out of the bed but Caleb stood and put his hands on my shoulders, stopping me.

"No, you heard the doctor Hollow. You're supposed…"
"Where is he?"

"You can't keep me out. I'm his legal guardian; I have a right to see him!" The military police soldiers looked at each other, one of them sighing loudly and looking back at me. He was clearly irritated to the limit he started to anger after me putting up a fight and not backing down.

"For the last time…"
"I'm not leaving until I've seen him." I cut him off. He gritted his teeth and looked up at Caleb standing behind me, it was clear in the soldier's eyes he wasn't happy with him and I guessed Caleb would be punished for telling me.

"Valerie." He said and put his hand on my shoulder; I shrugged out of his hands but turned to look at him.

"I'm not leaving." He looked puzzle and unsure what to do.

"Just…you should rest. You heard…"
"I'm not kidding Caleb; I'm not leaving until I get to see him." He kept his eyes on mine for a moment before he looked up at the soldiers.

"Can't she get five minutes, just to see that he's alright?"

"You've already broken your orders by telling her and taking her here, and now you ask for five minutes, you must be aim for death penalty, Turner." The other soldiers spoke, clearly knowing who Caleb is.

"I just…"
"Shut it." The first soldier spoke again, his eyes telling Caleb to back off. The man then turned to me again. "No unauthorized are allowed, no matter what!" This time it was me gritting my teeth as I turned back to the man.

"No one is more authorized to see him than me. I'm his guardian and I have a right by law to see him. So for once in your lives stop being the useless bastards that the military police is known for." This must have been the last straw as the man took a firm grip around my wrist. "Let me go." I instinctively put my hand to his chest and tried to pull away but he only tightened the grip, I gasped in pain. Caleb made a move but the man shot him a glare.

"Step back, Private, you've done enough. Don't think this will go without reporting. " Caleb stepped back and the man turned back to me. "Now listen you insufferable woman, get out of here before I silence that haughty throat of yours forever." I glared back at him and in an instance my hand had made contact with his face. In an instance I was thrown down at the floor, this time avoiding hitting my head by supporting myself with my arms. When I turned back a blade was pointed at me.

"I don't believe even Commander Dok would approve of his soldiers killing innocent women, no matter the circumstances!" My eyes turned to the side where Erwin suddenly stood, holding his hand around the soldiers wrist, stopping the sword from getting closer to me. He was glaring at Erwin, not making a move to pull back but when he turned his head to me his eyes and face expression changed. He looked scared and immediately pulled his sword away and put it back in the scabbard. I felt someone standing behind me and I guessed that was the person he reacted on. I was about to turn my head around to see who it was but Caleb kneeled down besides me.

"Are you alright?" His eyes were wide with worry. I nodded, but the pain in my wrist reminded itself and I looked down at it. I touched it lightly, bruises was already forming around my wrist. Looking up at Caleb again I could tell he was ashamed and disappointed in himself for not standing up more for me. I felt bad for him, I forced him to get me out of the hospital and now I put him in this situation.

"I'm fine, Caleb." I said, smiling at him as he looked up at me. He just nodded and lowered his eyes. My smile faded slightly and I reached out to touch his cheek, to reassure him I was fine but instead someone grabbed my upper arm and pulled me up from the floor. Chocked and surprised I turned my head, about to scold the person for just pulling me up in such a manner. Instead I was left staring wide eyed into a pair of steel grey eyes, a pair I hadn't seen for years.

"Levi."
