In the moment Rivaille saw Petra's body, he could not stop staring.
-This… This can't be… -he whispered, kneeing besides the girl and holding her carefully.
Covering his wrist with his uniform's sleeve, Levi cleaned the blood in Petra's face gently. Before he noticed, a single tear fell from his eyes. The tear fell to Petra's check.
Her eyelids trembled and she opened one eye.
-H-heichou... –she said, her voice weak and almost inaudible.
-Petra! –Levi pulled her to a hug.
-Ouch. –she complained. Immediately he freed her from the hug and laid her tightly in his arms.
-How do you feel?
-Very bad. –she opened a small smile.
-Do you think you can hang on until I come back?
Petra made an affirmative sound.
-Hey, don't die. If you die and leave me alone here, I'll never forgive you.
-I wasn't planning to die. –she answered with her eyes closed.
Levi kissed her forehead and laid her in the ground carefully.
-I will be back in one second.
