(Levi's POV)

When we made it back to the road where everyone else was it seemed like all of them were angry at us for leaving without telling anyone. That didn't last long though. I told them about the thieves we met and how we needed to get out of here as soon as possible. Everyone was packed up and ready to go in a few minutes. This time I convinced Armin and Reiner to sit in the back of the truck, so Eren was driving and I was the navigator. I kept a gun on me in case we ran into anymore trouble; zombie or otherwise.

"Levi, do you think Ash is going to be sad that I left her behind?" Eren asked me.

"For all we know she could have been that group's dog and that's why she led you there." I told him.

"You're probably right, but I still feel bad leaving her behind." He said sadly. He just found that dog a few days ago, and now he's going to mope about because we didn't take it with us.

"Well you know if she really wants to find you again she can. I've heard of dogs crossing a whole country to get back to their owner." I attempted to cheer him up.

"You're right." Eren sighed. "I still don't feel right about leaving her behind." I nodded and looked back at the map. Where the hell are we? Armin had said that he and Reiner had gotten lost, but I couldn't imagine how lost they had gotten us. I started looking around for anything that might give away where we were when I found a road sign. It was covered by branches; blocking my view of it.

"Eren stop the truck." I ordered. Once he stopped the truck I jumped out; gun in hand.

"Levi what are you doing?" I ignored his question; guessing he would be able to understand once he saw the sign. As I got closer I could hear movement along the side of the road, and spotted a few slow moving zombies. It's been a long time since we had seen any of them. My movements became quicker and I didn't have to move many branches until I could read the sign.

Calgary 45 miles

Just when I was about to turn and run back to the truck I heard a gunshot. While I was looking at the sign a zombie had gotten uncomfortably close. It had been shot in the head and was falling to the ground. I looked back to the truck to find Eren was holding a gun. Shit, I didn't feel comfortable with him shooting that close to me. His aim isn't the best. I ran back to the truck and hopped in. Eren was pulling away before I had put my seatbelt on. Just one ride with Hanji and you realize how important it really is.

"Did you learn anything?" Eren asked.

"Yeah, we are just outside of Calgary. I think we should look around the outside of the city. There might be supply places or safer places to spend the night than in the middle of the road."

"Sounds like a good idea to me, but shouldn't we ask the others?"

"We can tell them once we get there." I said confidently.

"Also why do you always use a seatbelt now?" Eren asked me.

"You remember how the car looked after Hanji finished driving it, right?" Eren nodded. "That's why."

"But I'm a much better driver than Hanji! And it makes it so you have to stay soooo far away from me!" Eren playfully whined. There was nothing between us, and if I really wanted to I could sit right next to Eren. It was a very tempting idea, but I didn't feel completely safe with anyone other than me driving.

"Sorry brat, I still doubt your driving abilities." I bluntly responded.

"Then I have a better idea!" Eren stopped the truck again. This time he moved closer to me, and at first I had no idea what he planning on doing. "You drive, and I can look at the map." He snatched the map out of my hands with his face just inches from mine.

"Are you sure you know how to read a map?" I responded playfully as I took his spot in the drivers seat.

"It couldn't be that hard." He said and wrapped an arm around me as I began driving. I had nothing against Eren being so close to me, but I could barely focus on driving while he was so close. At least we didn't have much farther to go until we made it to Calgary. Everyone in the back must be a little freaked with all of the stops we have been making.

By the time we made it to the outside portion of Calgary, there was a small pack of zombies following us. There wasn't more than five in the group. Eren and I would be able to take care of them easily.

"Ready?" I asked Eren. He nodded and I stopped the truck. We both exited the truck quickly and began shooting. All of my shots hit their target, and Eren had only missed a few times. I was the one that opened the back to the truck, and everyone looked fearful. "There's nothing to worry about." I told them. Hanji and Sasha were the first to exit the truck.

"Oh a city!" Hanji exclaimed as she took in her surroundings.

"I smell food." Sasha said and ran off somewhere.

"Sasha where the hell are you going?" Connie shouted and started running after her.

"Why are we in a city? There are going to be more zombies here." Annie asked.

"We were not to far from the city and it would be a good idea to stop here and get some supplies. I also would like to spend at least one night sleeping on an actual bed for once." I explained. Annie had no arguments but was still on guard.

"We should clear out a few houses for our 'short' stay." Reiner added. I started looking at the houses that surrounded us. Most of them seemed to be in fairly good condition.

"Hey, why don't we stay in those two houses?" Eren ran up and pointed to side by side houses on the right side of the road. They seemed to be in good condition.

"Well let's check them out." I said and followed Eren into the left house. This one looked comparatively worse than the one next to it. The siding of the house was falling off and some of the windows had cracks in them. "Eren, I should go first." Eren was walking in front of me, and almost reached the house. There could be zombies in or around the house and I was nervous that he could get hurt.

"You don't think I am capable of leading?" Eren asked me; offended.

"I just don't want you getting yourself hurt." I told him.

"I won't get hurt." He said and quickly turned around and entered the house. All of the rooms on the first floor seemed to have no walls except for small protrusions that marked the beginning of the next room and a staircase in the middle of the house. The living room had everything the way it would normally be. Nothing seemed out of place; which gave it an odd feeling. The kitchen and dining room were in similar condition. No zombies were found in any of the rooms. That left us with two last places to check. The basement and the second floor.

"I'll check the second floor, you check the basement."

"What!? I don't want to get stuck with checking the creepy basement!" Eren whined.

"Fine, I'll take the basement. You can check the second floor." I was irritated with Eren's attitude.

(Eren's POV)

"Okay, thank you Levi." I gave Levi a kiss on the cheek before leaving. I could tell he was getting annoyed. What's wrong with me wanting to be the leader for once?

"Whatever brat."

"I already told you that isn't my name." I teased before proudly walking to the staircase. The basement door was creaking open and I could hear Levi walking down the stairs. Now's my turn to start heading upstairs.

The second floor was not what I expected. Everything about this house looked normal; as though it's owners left the second the outbreak started, but this floor was covered in blood. There were smears leading to the last room on the left. Maybe someone was staying here and some zombies got in. I took a deep breath and started walking to the door. 'Please be nothing in there. Please be nothing in there.' I pleaded. The door was left ajar, and I slowly pushed it open. Before the door was fully open I was attacked. The upper half of a woman threw herself on me and started biting. A scream escaped my mouth, but I quickly muffled it. 'I can handle this. Levi doesn't have to save me this time.' I had a gun in my hands, and I knew I was going to have to use it. Without looking I aimed and fired the gun. The biting and scratching stopped, and I could hear Levi running through the house to find me. I kicked the now dead zombie off of me. It looked like she had been cut in half; yet she had still been able to move.

"Eren what happened?" Levi frantically asked me when he found me. "Are you bleeding?" I hadn't checked yet. My legs were covered in blood, but I couldn't tell what was mine and what wasn't.

"I'm fine." I told him and tried standing, but the spark of pain on my right leg kept me from getting up. Levi started pulling my pants off. "What are you doing?" My face instantly got red.

"I can't see what's wrong with your leg while your pants are covered in blood and are in the way." I let Levi take my pants off, but I was fearful someone else would have heard the gunshots and would see us like this. We were finally able to see where I was bitten and scratched. Both my legs had small scratches on them, but my right leg had been bitten badly. There was a full piece of my leg that had almost been completely bitten off, and was only connected to my leg by a few parts of muscle. "Shit, we need to get Hanji and see if she can do anything." Levi mumbled. A small pool of blood had already formed under the bite. Levi took my pants and started wrapping them around my leg. "Hold this tightly against your leg." Levi instructed me before going through all the rooms on this floor making sure they were clear before running off to find Hanji.

"So this is why Levi never lets me be a leader." I mumbled to myself and realized how badly I had messed up. It should have been a given that there would be a zombie in there, but I acted without much caution. Strangely my leg didn't seem to hurt as badly as I thought an injury like that would hurt. That could just be because I'm still in shock from the zombie attacking me. I heard footsteps running up the stairs. Hanji was the first one I saw with Levi right behind her.

"I heard you got into a little zombie trouble. Let's see what happened?" She asked in her usual cheerful voice. I started removing my pants from the bite wound. "Oh my lord." She said with a country accent once she saw the bite and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Levi was infuriated by her action.

"I need to get some things from my truck. That's a really bad bite." Hanji replied and turned down the stairs.

"How are you feeling?" Levi had quickly gone from terrifyingly angry to concerned in less than a second. He's got some true talent.

"Fine, just a little tired, and of course my leg hurts. Other than that I think this apocalypse is going pretty well." I attempted to make a joke, but Levi didn't seem to find it funny.

"You look really pale. Are you sure you are feeling fine?"

"Of course." I lied. I was starting to feel faint, but I wasn't about to tell Levi that. Hanji will be back in a few minutes and everything will be fine. Eventually I wasn't able to sit up anymore and more fell than lowered myself to the ground. "Okay maybe not." I forced a laugh to try and lighten the mood.

"Where the hell is Hanji?" Levi muttered and leaned over me. Things started to get blurry when I finally heard Hanji running up the stairs.
