Levi's love
By Kayla Ackerman-Smith
I do not own the right to Attack on Titan however I do own the rights to my original characters.
Prologue
Levi was on scout expedition, the day was bright and clear. Levi had talking to Eren who was a titan shifter about his time in the Scouts. Levi suddenly noticed an injured young lady by the side of the road. He was a nervous wreck what was a woman doing outside the wall especially with titans around. He dismounted his horse and ran over to her. He suddenly realized who it was Kayla Smith one the few that he had cared about. She had went missing during the 56th expedition outside the wall. He knelt down beside the woman and held her hand. She flinched at his touch.
Levi looked at her as she reached for his hand. "Kayla. I thought you had died." he said fighting the sting of tears.
"Levi." Her voice barely above a whisper and her eyes closed."The pain."
Levi simply held her tight as he picked her up and smiled as a few of his men gathered around including Mikasa and Eren.
"Levi who is this woman?" Sasha asked whilst munching on a potato.
Levi stared at Sasha and the others as they came around. "Someone very special to me. I thought I had lost her when she was went missing during the 56th recon mission. The rest doesn't matter to you."
"Levi? Are you really here?" Kayla whisperer.
"I am here. I am sorry I wasn't there to protect you from the titans." He said as tears flowed down his face.
She wiped away his tears, "Don't be I certainly don't blame you. I knew you come to my rescue. I was protected."
They loaded Kayla into the cart and Levi sat with her. As they were heading back to Wall Maria they noticed three titans heading towards them.
Captain We have three, 12 meter titans heading our way." Connie shouted over to the Levi Squad.
Levi thought very quickly and then Levi order them to go to the 3D Maneuver Gear. He told Kayla to hold on tight to him.
She knew she couldn't slow him down. "Leave me here Levi please." She pleaded with him. "I do not have the strength to hold on." She told him bluntly.
Levi held her tight as the zipped across the trees. He felt her go limp. He knew she was weak. "Hold on to me please?"
Eren came over and looked at Captain Levi then said. "She will be okay I know it. She is remarkably strong." He placed his hand on Levi's shoulder to reassure him. "I will stay beside you as will Mikasa and Armin." Levi nodded in reply and smiled. They both looked at each other.
"Thank you Eren, Mikasa and Armin." Levi wanted to cry as Kayla lent into Levi's chest.
"Levi we have to get back to Wall Maria. Just trust me please?"She whispered. They nodded.
Kayla looked at the others when she noticed her father. "Commander Smith sorry I can't stand and give you the proper salute." She said has she placed her left fist on her chest.
"Kayla it's fine." he smiled "I am glad you are okay." He knew that his daughter had survived but did that make her titan.
"Father." was Kayla managed in a bare whisper.
Levi looked at the two of them just stood "Sir?" he said as looked him directly.
"Hmmm. Did you say something Levi?" Erwin said absent mindedly.
"Who is she to you?" he said as he looked between them both. Then realized that it was Kayla Smith. Though Erwin never really talked about his past or if he had any family.
"Levi... Kayla is my daughter. I thought we had lost her to the titans. When we went outside the wall six months ago."
Levi wiped away his Commander's tears. "She is a fighter just like you, her father. I thought I lost the one person who love me regardless how mean I was to her. She was one of the few I could go toe to toe in an argument and yet she never backed down. Just like Pet..."
Erwin just smiled "We need to head back to the walls. I will ride with her. I owe her that much." was all he could say. "Levi please get the troops ready to return."
"Yes Commander." Levi said as Kayla was loaded into the wagon. He walked off and spread the word he looked Erwin and Kayla.
Kayla sat up feverishly as the wagon moved off. Her dad put what was left of his arm around her to try and protect her.
"How did you loose your arm dad?" She asked.
"It was bitten off by a titan saving Eren." He said as looked at her with sadness in his eyes. "But I am stronger for what has happened."
"Levi knows my relationship to you. do you think we should tell the others?" she asked as the Levi Squad had changed from when joined and been placed under the command of Levi. She smiled at her at her father knowing that he would tell those he trusted. Levi was definitely one that they had both trusted. As Kayla came to the church where father had been a priest. She later found that someone had found her ill in the city underground and took her to Father Smith. She was left in the church with a note that read "please take care of her." she had kept the note and spoke to father Smith about it. "Dad? Did you find out who took to the church?" she asked with a curious smile.
He nodded but didn't say who. They both seemed lost in their thoughts as neared city when Kayla blacked out and went limp. Erwin noticed she was limp and called Levi over.
"Commander what's wrong with Kayla?" he asked with a surprised look on his face.
