The battle and the promise
Mikasa POV
Grey clouds, as far as the eye could see. Death was upon us. Screams pleading for mercy and human flesh ripping apart.
This was a beautiful, cruel world I thought. It will always be this way, no matter what.
Everyone who was here, was fighting for our freedom. We had gone through various events to get here and we wont die that easily. We will fight. If you want to survive then you need to fight.
My eyes scan through the battle field. Eren was in his titan form. Sasha and Connie were fighting east of me , with Jean and Armin. Captain Hanji was psycho over the titans. Captain Levi was fighting west of me.
I had temporarily stop on a tree to check what was wrong with my gear. But I had lost the balance and a titans hand grab me. At first I thought Eren had caught me. But soon my hope died when,I turn to see the titans face.
A couple of years back, this was the titan that kill my adoptive titan squeeze me , and made cough up blood.
Was this the end I thought. Even if I fought back all this years, was it all worthless? My vision got blurier the more it squeeze me. Was I seriously dying this way. No I thought.
I got out my sword and stab him in his hand. But instead of letting me go, it squeeze my body tighter. Even through the pain I was experiencing I manage to say something.
"I wont die like this, no matter what. I-i-i wont stop ... fight..ing." Tears were forming in my eyes, which made my vision more blurier, than they already were.
I will miss all my friends. Specially Levi. I lived a life and fought to see dawn again. I already accepted my fate , and when Im finally dead, maybe just maybe I 'll get yo live a new life with my friends and Levi. And perhaps, fate will bring us together like it happen years ago.
The titan was raising his arm slowly, as if enjoying that I'm in vulnerable state.
"Mikasa" I turn around to see Armin flying towards me. His scream was soon followed by Eren's roar. Was this the last sight of them. A sight that will hunt me forever. Soon the rest follow Armin and Eren. Their screams of my name echoed through my ears.
A blur past at the nape of the titan. The sound of sword cutiing the flesh of the titan was music to my titans body drop to the ground and the grip on my body felt loosen.
I was dropped to the ground, along with the titans body. It was a hard landing. Soon, a figure landed on the ground in front of me. Levi. He cutted the fingers that were wrap around my body with caution. He carried me bridal style. I scan the battle field once more, and saw less and less titans. Werewewinning?
I touch Levi's cheek , which surprised him and made him look at me. I smile and he smiled back. I started coughing blood. At that moment I knew I wouldnt make it back.
Levi put me down on the ground. My head resting on his knee.
"I love you, Levi, no matter what, dont forget me."
"Dont say that Mikasa, youll make it. We ll get married, open a tea shop and have kids. We ll see them grow as we get older, and die together. But not here and now. So get yourself together."
I touch his cheek and he grab my hand. He was crying because he knew too. Soon my time will be over and Ill leave him alone, like before. I smile at the thought of what could have been my life with Levi. I would have loved it. Ill trade anything for that to happen. But fate had other plans.
"Hey Levi,...lets...have another live...we...can be ...reincarnated ...together."
"I...i would love that Mikasa. Promise me. I would always love you and no matter what, I will always be with you. Because fate brought us together and no matter what in this world, I would never stop loving you."
"Thank you so much" I said and kiss him on the lips. The way his lips felt on mine, would always be remember in my heart. As I close my eyes forever, I awaited the next life I would live.

After that, I cried, hugging her body against mine. I was lonely again. The truth stab me in the chest, like a thousand knives.
"Humanitys freedom starts now. " Erwin scream, was followed by cheers. Ifonly. I thought. Ifonlyyouhadhangon, thisnightmarewouldnthavehappened.
Mikasa's friends had come. Eren had already transform out of the titan. Everyone stood there in shock. Humanitys strongest soldier worth a 100, was dead. Each one cried. Soon it was raining. As if the sky cried too.
We all decided to do a grave. We dug a hole. Outside the walls. We dug one near a river. We carve her name in the grave made out of rock. Sasha and Jean went for some flowers.
We put her body inside a coffin. And then put her inside the hole. Tears escape my eyes when she was one with the earth. Soon rays of the sun, went through the clouds. Patches of blue sky were soon form.
n the gravestone, we carved a few words.
