The Diary

I OWN NOTHING!

Chapter 1: Discovery

Levi's POV

It had been two weeks…since Annie Leonhart had been captured…well, if that's what you want to call it. She encased herself in crystal so she didn't have to talk to us about anything…talk about the silent treatment.

About a week before that…she killed my team. All expect Eren Jaeger, he was spared because she wanted to fight him later, I guess.

I had to go to my team's families and break the news. Oulo's family cried and shared funny memories of him. Eldo's family cried and asked if he had helped humanity at all. Gunter's family asked the same question. Petra's family…the mother cried and the father was just silent.

Now, I have to clean out their rooms and get them ready for other soldiers. Gunter, Oulo, and Eldo's rooms are clean. I just have Petra's left.

I open the door and see a perfectly tidy room. Petra had a small backpack sitting against one wall and that's it. Dust covers some of the objects lightly. I put down my cleaning supplies and look around the room. A sigh escapes and I see a small brown thing sticking out from backpack's outer pocket. I pull it out and open it.

Dear Diary,

The words stop me…Petra kept a diary?! I shouldn't read it but I see a small note sticking out.

Heichou Levi, if I die and someone finds this…please read it. Thank you, Petra.

She wanted me to read it? I open the book fully again and start reading.

Dear Diary,

Today, I joined Heichou Levi's Special Operations Squad. I am so happy! Heichou Levi has to see real talent to let you join his squad and he picked me! I am the only girl on the team but that doesn't matter to me.

The squad consists of Heichou Levi, Eldo Gin, and Gunther Shulz. I heard Heichou Levi will pick one more person to be on the squad. I really hope it's not that Oulo Bossard guy that in the class above me. I've heard he's really weird but also really good with the Maneuver Gear. I guess I don't have the right to judge him…when I haven't ever talked to him.

Anyway, I think I hear Heichou Levi calling me for practice. I can't wait to see what he's going to teach me. I also heard that we are going on an exhibition soon. YAY! It will be my first ever. I just really joined the Survey Corps after they got back from an exhibition so…I haven't been on one yet.

Ahh, Eldo just came in and said Heichou Levi wants me. I have to go but I'll write more later.

Forever and Always,

Petra.

She signed off with her name and a small heart. I still clearly remember that day. I remember watching her use her Maneuver Gear almost perfectly. Petra only had to be told something once and she learned it.

I close my eyes and put my head down. Petra…Oulo…Gunther…Eldo…I wish you were here.

I made a promise to myself after we got back from the exhibition and I had to tell their families, after Annie Leonhart was "captured" and Survey Corps was okay. I promised that I would protect Eren as they had. Even if it meant my death…I promised that to them…and I promised I would live on…because I know that's what they would have wanted.

"Heichou Levi?" Eren salutes me from the doorway. I don't look up but nod a little. I hear his footsteps enter the room. "Are you alright, Heichou?"

"I'm fine." I take a deep breath and push everything aside. I look up and my signature bored look meets his curious/concerned look.

"I cleaned up that room like you told me too."

"Go do it again." Eren starts to open his mouth but quickly closes it. He salutes again and leaves. I smile a little and realize he's learned my cleanliness standards. I take another deep breath and put Petra's Diary in my pocket. I'll read more later…

Thanks for reading. I hope you like it. I had the idea and decided to try it. I really hope that you *The person reading this right now* reviews. This is my first fanfic in this fandom so…yeah.

So, the diary will go from the day Petra joined the squad to the day before she died. I haven't decided how long that's going to be yet but…=D Also, Levi and Petra do have a relationship in this story. They are boyfriend and girlfriend…at least.

So thanks for reading…and review please. Till the next chapter, TTYL
