"You haven't had a moment's rest since you returned from the forest. Your body's in bad shape. I'm going to clean your wounds and then you're going to sleep," he said and she sighed and nodded.

He cleaned her wounds as gently as he could and patched up what he could. He helped her change and lay down carefully. He joined her shortly after and wrapped his arm around her securely, holding her close. Greer's eyes became heavy as soon as her head hit the pillow.

"Don't leave in the morning, okay? Stay," she murmured and he nodded.

"I won't leave," he said and she passed out, a small smile on her face.

The Next Morning...

Greer's eyes snapped open to violent shaking. Her eyes focused seeing Levi and Evie above her. She blinked and saw they were breathing heavily. Levi looked pale and she realized he was holding her down. Evie watched her wide eyed.

Silence.

"Greer?" Levi breathed heavily.

Greer nodded and Levi's grip on her arms seemed to relax. Evie let out a shaky breath.

"W-What happened?" she asked hoarsely.

She was surprised her voice was so hoarse.

Silence.

"You had a terrible nightmare," Evie spoke finally.

Greer nodded.

"You wouldn't wake up," she added quietly.

"A nightmare?" she swallowed the lump in her throat.

Levi shook his head slowly.

"It wasn't a nightmare, it was a memory," he spoke, his composure returned.

Evie nodded.

"You were screaming. You kept telling someone to get back. Levi tried to wake you, but he couldn't—"

"—that's enough Evie," Levi said as calmly as he could.

Silence.

"I don't remember any of it," Greer admitted.

Levi got off the bed and Evie stood as well.

"I'll start breakfast," she said calm again and left.

Greer watched Levi walk into the bathroom and shut the door. She heard the shower turn on and waited a few minutes. She wanted to collect herself and figured he needed to do the same. Then she stood and walked into the bathroom, closing the door. Steam encompassed the room and she carefully stripped off her clothes, mindful of her healing wounds, and stepped into the hot shower with him. She tensed as the hot water hit her tender skin.

Silence.

Levi stood still, the water pouring over his head.

"Levi—"

"—you were screaming for them," he spoke and she fell silent.

Silence.

"You kept screaming for them to get back," he said and she could tell he was unsettled.

"Your screams...they were real," he closed his eyes tightly and she moved closer to him, but he backed up, hitting the wall.

"Was that how it really was? You were afraid. I haven't seen you so afraid since..." he trailed off.

Silence.

"And I wasn't there. You had to witness all that death by yourself and that's my fault. As your captain, I should have been there with you. Maybe I could have done something; saved some of them," he said and she shook her head quickly.

"We can't think like that," she whispered and he shook his head.

"It's all I've been thinking about," he admitted.

Silence.

She walked forward and rested her forehead against his gently. She nuzzled his chin and he looked at her as she kissed him slowly. He returned the kiss carefully. She could feel him holding back. She deepened it and could still feel his hesitation. She broke the kiss, but kept her forehead against his.

"Levi, please," she whispered and she could feel his body tremble at her words.

She felt herself being turned, so that her back was against the wall firmly and his lips met hers hungrily. She lifted her leg so that it wrapped around his waist tightly, hugging him to her. He attacked her neck and entered her simultaneously causing her to let out a soft gasp as he filled her completely.

She gripped onto his back, digging her fingers into his skin as he pulled out and shoved himself back in. Levi let out a soft groan into her shoulder and Greer held him tighter to her. Her walls clenched around him and his mouth opened as a gasp escaped his lips.

His hand dug into her wet hair, gripping it tightly as they both felt their climax approaching. He kissed her again, holding her to him, his grip unyielding. Her hands ran up his neck to his cheeks as they both cried out, reaching their limit at the same time. Their bodies tensed as he filled her.

Greer shuddered, feeling warmth spread throughout her body, and her mind blanked. Levi held her close as they both came down from their high. She managed to look at him seeing his eyes dazed and light. For a moment, his mind was blank too and not one thought entered his head.

It was pure bliss.

Silence.

"Breakfast is ready!" Evie called from downstairs and suddenly their reality flew back to them.

Greer went to exit when Levi held her to him still. She looked at him.

"Whatever happens today, if it gets to be too much for you, look for me, alright?" he asked and she nodded smiling slightly.

"I will," she whispered and he kissed her once more before they exited the shower.

The Church of the Walls…

They stood still and silent in their uniforms. Empty coffins lined the yard. Families stood up front while comrades stood on the stage addressing their fallen friends' families. Erwin was going to address the families of his squad. Levi wasn't much good at giving public speeches. But as Erwin approached the podium questions were shouted out. Questions he couldn't answer, because he wasn't there. It was when Petra's father stepped forward that things took a turn.

"Why won't you speak on their behalf?" he asked looking right at Greer.

Silence.

Petra's father dabbed at his eyes with a rag.

"She'd want you to speak for her. You were with her in her very last moments. You were there with all of them. It's only right it should be you," he said and she took in a deep breath.

"Sir, my squad died fighting for what they believed in. They died protecting each other...protecting myself and Eren Yeager. They were brave and should be recognized—"

"—stop!" someone shouted.

"Tell the truth!" another voice yelled.

"Be honest with us. Tell us how our children died. Share their final moments," Petra's father said sadly.

Greer stared at him weakly.

Silence.

"We were transporting Eren Yeager back home. The mission was over and the female titan was caught. We let our guard down. I remember…we were all laughing, talking about what we would do when we all got back home. And then the female titan appeared. Gunter was her first casualty. He died instantly and unfortunately we couldn't go back for him. We all pursued the female. Eld was next. We weren't expecting it and we hadn't planned for it. Oluo, Petra and I decided to fight in order for Eren to get away, as the mission was to keep him safe and alive," she paused taking in a deep breath.

Everyone was silent. Eyes watched her, some eyes watched the floor, and others had tears spilling from them. Eren couldn't breathe. He wiped at his eyes and Mikasa held his hand tightly. Greer stared out into the crowd. Levi couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"We cut her up pretty bad and had her fallen against a tree. Oluo went in for the kill, but the female was able to regenerate her eye at an alarmingly fast rate. She caught him in her palm and..." she froze, but managed to keep it together.

She watched Oluo's family breakdown. Greer didn't want to continue, but she forced herself to look at Petra's dad.

"Petra...I told her to get back, but she was in shock and it was too late and the female she...she killed her too," she forced out and watched the dad break into hysterics.

Silence.

"Their faces...even when I close my eyes I see them. The fact that I lived and they didn't doesn't elude me. And I would have gladly traded my life for any one of theirs. It's not fair, but neither is this world we live in. My only hope is that one day we can live in a world without titans and truly honor the fallen; every single one of them. Until that day, I will silently honor them by killing as many titans as I possibly can while I live and breathe. Be proud of them. They fought and died so that we could live another day," she said and turned on her heels and exited the stage.

Erwin nodded to Levi and he turned and left quickly as Erwin addressed the silent crowd. He watched her walk into the lab and followed her inside.

Under the Lab…

Hange was fiddling with her computer when Greer walked in. Annie was still encompassed in her crystal block. Greer walked up to her slowly and stopped. Levi stepped beside Hange, who frowned at the unexpected company.

"Can you hear me? I believe you can. Do you recognize my voice? It is the voice of your executioner," she said and Hange glanced up from her work.

Levi listened intently. Greer smiled at the frozen girl lightly.

"How does it feel to know either way this war goes you will die?" she asked and would have sworn she saw the ice tremble.

"Whether we win or lose this fight with the titans, I will come for you. Don't get me wrong, you will have a choice in the matter. I'm not barbaric. You can choose to die as a human or as a titan," she grinned and Hange's eyes widened.

She went to step forward when Levi stopped her. Hange looked at him wide eyed, but he just stared straight ahead.

"Either way, know that it will be painful and slow. I've never tortured a soul; never thought much of it at all actually. But I can promise that I'll have it perfected by the time I get my hands on you. Perhaps I'll practice on your friends Reiner and Bertolt," she mused.

Greer scratched her head smiling.

"I'll see you soon, titan," she said and left without another word.

Hange turned to Levi.

"She was almost as scary as you," she said and Levi smirked slightly.

He didn't look at her, but at Annie.

"It seems Greer's figured out a way to make even titans tremble," he said and Hange chuckled.

At the Hospital...The Next Day...

The squad was sitting around Erwin. He was getting his bandages refitted.

"I've just received some startling information," he started right away.

Everyone listened pensively.

"We think the cause of the titans is known by the higher ups and the King. We believe they are holding information from us. We also believe they want Eren and the key he possesses. This is why we need to get him out of Wall Rose immediately. We need to send you into hiding in Wall Maria," he said and all eyes widened.

"But the key to my—"

"—we have to put that off for right now," Erwin cut Eren off.

"This is more pressing," he added.

Silence.

"Levi, I want you in charge out there. I'll stay behind and monitor things here," he said and people began to leave.

Levi and Hange stopped when Greer didn't move.

"What is it?" Erwin asked and Greer seemed conflicted.

And then she made up her mind.

"I'd like to request that my sister accompany us," she said and all eyes widened.

She never broke eye contact with Erwin. She watched as it slowly dawned on him. Hange covered her mouth.

"I can't leave her here knowing that the higher ups may be behind all of this. Please," she whispered and he nodded.

"Alright," he said and she nodded and turned to leave.

"Greer," Erwin stopped her and she turned to him slightly.

"Thank you for trusting me," he said and she nodded and left.

I hope everyone enjoyed! Please review! I love reviews!
