~Two weeks later.~
"Not too tight!" Lilly said as Levi wrapped his black scarf around her neck early in the morning.
"Well it better not fly away. The winds are strong today." Levi said as he stood in front of her.
"It won't. I'll make sure." Lilly smiled and held the scarf to her nose.
Levi watched her with soft eyes and caressed her cheek briefly before looking at the clock.
"Are you ready?" Levi asked.
Today was the first day that Lilly got a break from patrolling the wall. It only took two weeks for Erwin to fulfill their request, but apparently this was part of Erwin's plan in the first place. He wanted to build up her energy so it'd be put to good use in this base mission since this next base placement was further from the wall and deeper in titan territory.
And now she was finally riding out with Levi.
"I'm ready. I've been ready for two weeks." Lilly said as she started to leave his office.
Levi followed behind her quietly as they headed to the stables to meet with the rest of the soldiers chosen for the mission. They were all soldiers that she wasn't familiar with or close to.
A lot of people who graduated from training corps before her.
They all eyeballed her skeptically as she started to saddle her horse.
"Captain's little whore huh?" One rugged blonde soldier said in a low voice to the soldier standing next to him, thinking she couldn't hear him.
"I don't know why she's allowed to come with us. She's a distraction to Captain Levi as it is." The other mumbled.
Lilly closed her eyes and rested her head against the side of her horse. It was taking a lot of restraint to not to say anything.
"Can't deny she's a good piece of ass though. I don't mind looking at her." Another voice said.
"If she's really easy, I'm sure we will all get a turn eventually." The blonde soldier's voice said.
Lilly lifted her head and she could feel her cheeks burning.
"She's got such a pretty little mouth, the things I'd do-"
Lilly couldn't hold herself together any longer. She stormed out from behind her horse and glared at them.
"C'mon Holmes. Did you hear our little conversation? Are you mad because it might be true?" The soldier taunted.
Her jaw tightened as she clenched her fists.
"Why don't you go back to blowing the Captain." The blonde waved his hand in dismissal.
Well.
That's it.
Lilly walked up to him firmly and threw her fist hard against his eye socket. He stumbled backwards a few steps and held his eye. He lifted his hand away and then charged at her, but Lilly send her boot into his mouth.
"Damn it Leon. You're just gonna let a woman hand you your ass like that?!"
Leon wiped the blood from his mouth and got back up to swing at her in blind rage and embarrassment. Lilly dodged each swing and got another two jabs in before grabbing a fist full of her hair in his giant hand.
"I bet you like this you dirty whore." Leon hissed in her ear. "Does the Captain grab you like this?"
"This is cheap." Lilly said as she tried breaking free from his grip on her hair.
"I fight to win." Leon said smugly.
Lilly turned her head and looked him in the eyes.
"Very well." Lilly said with a dark expression.
She then sank her teeth into his arm as hard as she could and he cursed before letting go of her hair. The other men gathered around laughing.
Lilly then kicked Leon in the chest with her boot, sending him down on his back. She quickly jumped on top of him, grabbing his collar and lifting his head off the ground to force him to look her in the eyes.
"Don't you ever disrespect me like that again. If you haven't forgotten, Captain Levi is the one who taught me to fight in the first place. Unless you want your ass handed to you again in front of all these nice people, I suggest you keep your grotesque mouth shut." Lilly growled before letting his head drop to the dirt again.
When she looked up, she saw a pair of boots standing before her.
Levi was glaring down at her with a displeased expression.
Shit.
...
Lilly rode with her hood up bedside Levi out in Wall Maria.
Levi was forced to make an example out of both her and Leon for starting a fight right before a important mission in which required nothing but teamwork.
He had told them that the way they had acted out could have effected the whole team's morale negatively.
He said it didn't matter why the fight had started.
Because it shouldn't have happened.
So he'd given them the worst chores he could have thought of apparently.
Lilly was in charge of doing the laundry by herself for two weeks. And Leon had to shovel horse shit.
Lilly knew she couldn't blame Levi for how he had to handle the situation. He was still their commanding officer. He was responsible for making sure this mission went smoothly and successfully and keeping everyone in line, including her.
The ride out to the destination was mostly easy. Several titans had met with them head on, and even fewer from the sides. The support team wiped them out easily, and there were no signs of any abnormals.
Autumn was nearing now, and the icy wind blew through the team as they rode onwards.
Lilly pulled her scarf up and Levi looked over to her quietly.
"Is it keeping you warm?" Levi finally spoke.
"Warm enough, yes." Lilly answered quietly.
Levi looked around and stopped his horse.
"Here is where we will build the base! Look-out squad, take your positions in surrounding trees with support groups three and four!" Levi shouted as he turned his horse to face the team.
Lilly had been assigned to support group one with Levi which was the group that was on standby to protect the engineers as they built the storage tower. Levi stood watch and made sure everyone was doing their jobs. Every once in a while he'd make rounds to check on the look out squads and support squads three and four.
When he returned, he stood beside Lilly quietly. She didn't look at him and kept looking outwards. Although she understood why Levi had to tear her a new one in front of the whole team, she still felt embarrassed about it.
"I know why you fought that big idiot back there." Levi spoke.
Lilly didn't answer as she looked out.
"Just remember there's a time and place." Levi said before handing her a small daisy and walking away.
Lilly turned to watch him walk away, his forest green cape blowing behind him.
...
The base was successfully built by the end of the day. Lilly didn't end up getting to slay a single titan that day. The outer look-out team did get a fair share of action, but not her. It was like she couldn't escape having to stand still in one spot.
This way of life was beginning to feel unfulfilling for her.
But she still clung to the hope of things changing.
She still clung to the hope of living to see the day where she could travel freely beyond the walls and see things she never saw before.
Things like the ocean.
They were just approaching the walls after their long day when they saw thick steam clouds rising over the walls. Levi stopped in front of Lilly to stare at the clouds with widened eyes. Soldiers were running at the top of the walls and shouting with urgency.
"Go! Head to the wall!" Levi ordered the team as he rode forward.
When Lilly arrived, she was faced with a giant cloud of steam and the remains of the colossal titan below the wall. Many scouts appeared to be injured and burned.
"What happened here?" Lilly asked Hange.
"Reiner and Bertholdt are the colossal and armored titans... They took Eren and Ymir. We are currently waiting for the leverages to carry the horses over the wall to go retrieve them. Word has been sent out to Commander Erwin. He should be here soon." Hange said with a serious expression.
Bertholdt and Reiner?
Lilly's mouth hung open. Reiner was always the big brother of the group, looking out for everyone. And Bertholdt was always so nice and quiet. Bertholdt was so careful with her during their spars... always afraid to hurt her...
But not afraid to kick a giant hole in the wall and kill thousands?
They started all of this?
They put the hole in the wall? They started this pain and misery the past five years?
They were okay with murdering thousands of innocent people?
Lilly slowly sat down and held her head.
"I know, it's a lot to process. But we must keep ourselves together for Eren's sake. Humanity needs him and his ability." Hange spoke.
"Hey, shit glasses. Status report on those leverages." Levi's voice came from behind them.
Lilly turned her head to look at him.
"They should be here any minute." Hange said.
"Do we have any minutes to spare?" Levi asked impatiently.
"Reiner and Bertholdt are likely weakened from their fight with Eren. They couldn't have gone far. They likely went somewhere out of reach from the titans to recharge before they leave Wall Maria. And I have an idea where." Hange said pointing to the map in her hands.
"Show me." Levi said as he stood beside her.
He studied the map and nodded.
"They aren't far if you're correct. We should be able to locate them easily with the long distance scouting formation." Levi said.
Levi walked over to Lilly and stood beside where she sat. He looked down at the steaming skeleton of the Colossal Titan as the cold breeze blew his cape.
"Be prepared to kill Reiner and Bertholdt if it comes down to it. I know they were your friends." Levi said.
"I am more than prepared." Lilly said quietly.
The wind howled over the walls and the chill bit through all of the layers of clothing Lilly was wearing.
Knowing what she knew now, if she had to kill Bertholdt or Reiner, she sure as hell would.
...
Lilly rode close behind Levi with her cape flailing in the wind. She had been chosen with a few others to be part of the new Levi squad. The others were Eren who was obviously absent, Mikasa, Sasha, Christa, Conny, Jean and Armin. Lilly took it as a great honor knowing Levi had only chosen her for her skill set, not just their personal relationship with each other.
But now she'd be by his side no matter what.
And that comforted her.
She knew she'd never have what other women had in this life.
A marriage. A home. Children.
She knew her life was no longer her own, but humanity's.
But if she could at least spend her lifetime serving and sacrificing by his side, then she would be grateful.
Just then Levi turned his head back to look at Lilly. They saw green signal flares shoot off in the distance ahead of them, so Lilly shot off another green flare. Off to the sides, red flares were being shot off, so she was fortunate to be riding where she was.
Then Lilly spotted a rider coming back towards them from the front where Erwin and Hange rode.
"Captain! Commander Erwin wants you to ride ahead with Lilly into the forest. Christa was captured by Ymir's titan form. They think Ymir has now sided with Bertholdt and Reiner which now makes retrieving Eren increasingly more difficult. Mikasa and the others are chasing them close behind but they need back up. The Commander needs you to clear a path. There's too many titans!" The rider called to Levi.
"You heard him Lilly. Get moving." Levi ordered.
Lilly rode faster so that she was riding beside Levi.
"Looks like your whole graduating class was full of treacherous rats." Levi muttered as they entered the woods.
She kept her eyes peeled for any titans that could possibly jump out at them while trying stay close to Levi. There was no defined path for them to ride on and the trees were thick.
She then could hear giant footsteps following them. Her heart started to race but she kept her eyes on Levi.
"Just ride forward!" Levi shouted.
"Yes Sir!" Lilly replied obediently.
Eventually the exit of the forest came into vision and Lilly felt slightly relieved. That was until the footsteps behind her were getting louder. How could it catch up so fast in a forest so thick? She looked back and saw a titan closing in on her quickly. It was traveling on all fours like an animal. Lilly's heart sank at the realization that this was an abnormal and there was no way they could keep running.
"It's an abnormal! It's on all fours!" Lilly shouted.
Levi turned his head back once and then faced forward. She could tell he was thinking of a plan to deal with it.
"Levi, one more leap and we are dead. I've been watching it's movements. We must engage!" Lilly shouted.
Before Levi could answer her, the titan leaped and swiped Lilly's horse from under her, tossing her into the air.
Levi quickly whipped his head around and Lilly saw the fear flash in his eyes as she flew through the air.
"Lilly!" He screamed.
Lilly quickly recovered and launched back towards the titan who reached out for her and missed by just a split second. She spun and shot an anchor into a tree and propelled herself quickly up past the titans elbow where she sliced through the muscle and disabled the arm. She saw Levi whir past her like a blur and watched as he propelled straight into the air, only to come down fast into the titan's neck with ferocity. Blood sprayed everywhere and the beast's body dropped to the ground.
Lilly landed to the ground and held her neck as she caught her breath. She must have pulled something when she was knocked off her horse who was now dead against a tree. She turned her neck to look but a ache shot through her.
She gasped and clenched her teeth. She then felt Levi's strong hand on her upper arm.
"Please tell me you're okay." He said.
"I'm fine." Lilly breathed.
"Good... We have to keep going." He whistled and his horse came running to them.
...
They finally exited the forest and entered a battlefield of titans and scouts. Even some garrison soldiers were called as emergency back up.
And they were all dying left and right.
Lilly could see the armored titan in the distance with Ymir on his back fighting off the titans that were trying to attack them. Jean, Conny, and Mikasa were trying to retrieve Eren.
Lilly saw a loose horse run past them so she quickly launched herself onto it's back.
"Let's fight our way to them. The field is thick with titans. We have no choice but to face them now." Levi said.
"Got it." Lilly answered.
Just then Levi launched off his horse and went on a frenzy. Lilly was always shocked to watch just how fast Levi could maneuver, as well as his strength.
It was like nothing could stop him.
Lilly launched off her horse and sliced through the back of the knees of two titans in their path. This dropped them and gave Levi the perfect opportunity to make his killing blows on them and finish the job. They worked together swiftly as they grew closer to the armored titan. They fought like that relentlessly together, bringing down anything in their path.
For a moment they had made eye contact while they were in the air, and Lilly gave him a small smile as her hair whipped around her face. She then wound up and spun down across a titan's shoulders, causing it to lean forward. This opened up the opportunity for Levi to strike down with ease.
By the time they had gotten even remotely close to the Armored titan, Eren had escaped with Mikasa and they were making a run for it. But then Lilly watched in horror as the armored titan had began to throw other titans at them.
A retreat signal was shot into the air soon after but the fight was not over. Titans rained down upon them and crushed and killed many. Screams filled the air, thundering footsteps booming all around.
Then a titan came and crashed down in front of Lilly and Levi, sending them flying into the grass.
The air was immediately knocked from Lilly's lungs and she rolled onto her back. Rain started to trickle down on her face. Lightning flashed, illuminating the silhouettes of the titans in the distance. Roaring thunder followed.
She mustered her strength to get up after a few minutes, and then it began to downpour.
"Levi." Lilly spoke into the rain.
She got up and looked around and saw Levi was laying on the ground with his face in the grass. She stumbled over to him and rolled him over and put her hands on his chest.
"Levi!" Lilly shouted.
No answer.
Lilly's breath was caught in her throat and she involuntarily whimpered. She placed her ear against his chest, searching for a heartbeat.
His heart was still beating softly.
She let out a sigh of relief. He was alive.
Unconscious, but alive.
Then Lilly saw a giant figure move in the corner of her eye. A frightening grinning face was looking down at her. She withdrew her blades and stood tall, guarding Levi.
It's hand slowly reached out for her, and immediately she launched up and sliced the hand off at the wrist before spinning up the arm, swinging her arms back only to swing them forward and bury her blades into the neck. Hot blood flew into her face before she landed back to her feet, sending a painful shock up her legs. The pain brought her to her knees and she breathed through it as she clenched onto the damp grass.
Lilly crawled back over to Levi and looked around frantically.
She could hear acoustic rounds being shot off, and screams in the distance. The rain was so thick that she could hardly see.
Lilly saw a tall tree not far from them so she hooked her arms under Levi's armpits and tried to pull him. He was heavy for her, though he was only about four inches taller, his body was dense with muscle. Add that factor to him being completely unconscious and deadweight, and it made him nearly impossible to drag. The rain was freezing cold, and it was making her shiver. She looked down at Levi whose forehead was bruised.
He had landed on his head.
Just like April.
Would he wake up like her too?
She eventually was able to drag him all the way to the tree where she leaned against the trunk with him in her lap. Both their clothes were drenched all the way through and it was probably the most uncomfortable thing she'd ever experienced thus far in her life.
Lilly looked down at Levi as lightening flashed in the distance.
Despite being knocked out cold, his expression was peaceful. His lips were slightly parted and his dark lashes dripped rain onto his pale cheeks. He looked unguarded, like a sleeping infant. Lilly kissed his face lightly, lifting his head to her chest to keep him from getting too cold. Occasionally, she'd take his hands and cup them to her mouth, breathing warm puffs of air into them to keep them warm.
She looked around nervously, hoping no titan would see them. Because with the rain chilling her to the bone like this, and the aches and pains catching up to her...
She didn't know if she'd have the power to fight anymore.
...
About thirty minutes later, Levi began to stir against her chest. Lilly perked up quickly and watched as he slowly sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at her and then looked around. Lilly wrapped her arms around him tightly and tears gathered in her eyes.
"How long was I out?" He asked.
"Not long." Lilly answered.
"Where is everyone?" He asked.
"They retreated. Eren escaped." Lilly answered.
"We are the only ones here?" Levi asked.
"That may be. The rain was so thick and the horses were spooked. I couldn't see and you were unconscious... I had to defend you from the titan that fell before us..." Lilly trailed off.
Levi stared down into the mud as his hair clung to his face.
"You should have left. It may be impossible for us to escape once the rain clears. We could be fully surrounded by titans at this moment and not even know it." Levi said.
"And leave you to die?!" Lilly exclaimed.
Levi was quiet as the rain poured around them.
"I will never leave you to die. So never expect that of me." Lilly hissed as she stared into his eyes.
Levi was quiet for a moment and sat up straighter. He squeezed out some of the water in his clothes and sighed.
"Thank you... For looking out for me while I was out." He said quietly.
Lilly rested her face against his neck and let out a shuddering sigh. He raised his icy hand to her face and then gathered her hair to place it on her back.
"We will be lucky if we don't get sick after this." Levi said in a low tone.
Lilly pulled away and looked down at her fuel gauge. She was running low. She took in a deep breath and shivered.
This was no good.
If she was low on fuel, that alone could get her killed.
"How's your fuel?" Levi asked.
"Low." Lilly answered.
"Alright. This is what we are going to do." Levi said as he stood up.
Rain dripped down his stone-like face as he looked around.
"We are going to go high up into this tree, so that way when the rain clears we will have a good view of what's around us without being seen. Then we will go from there." He said as he looked up into the tree.
"It's too slippery to climb and my fuel is low." Lilly said as she shook from the cold.
"Come here." Levi reached out his arm to her.
Lilly stepped into his arm which wrapped around her waist. He then shot his anchor up into the tree and propelled them up high into a sturdy branch near the top of the tree. Lilly sat and rested her head against the trunk. It was so cold. Levi sat trying to peer out into the thick rain.
"I've only seen it rain like this one time." Levi broke the silence, his expression looking grim.
Lilly looked out into the grey fog and heavy rain. Lightening flashed in the distance followed by thunder.
"It's impossible to see anything. Do you think the others are okay?" Lilly asked.
Levi turned his gaze upon her and thought for a moment.
"If they had started to retreat, chances are they are back in that forest up in the trees as well. Traveling in this rain within titan territory is a deadly game. The Commander knows that well."
"So we should probably head back there as soon as we can." Lilly said.
"Right. As soon as the rain clears, we will try to call my horse. Our gear is useless out in this field." Levi said.
"Okay. Then that's what we will do." Lilly nodded and gave him a weak smile.
Levi scooted closer to her on the slippery branch without saying another word. He took her freezing cold hands and held them up to his mouth and breathed hot air on them to warm them, just as she had done for him earlier. He then started rubbing them to get her blood flowing. Lilly could see he was starting to shiver himself, so she sat up slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck to hold him closer to her body. They were using too much energy by shivering and trying to keep warm, and if anyone needed it more, it was him.
"This sucks." Lilly said quietly.
Levi's mouth curved into a small smirk.
"All I can think about is a hot bath. Nothing else." Lilly said.
"You're spoiled rotten, aren't you? Your comrades would be jealous to know you take them so often." Levi said against her shoulder.
"Well who's at fault for that?" Lilly asked.
"Tch."
Levi didn't answer and just rested against her shoulder.
Eventually the rain started to die down, and a grey gloom hovered over the field. It was still hard to see, but not nearly as difficult.
"This will have to do." Levi started to stand.
He started whistling for his horse. Lilly stood up carefully, trying not to slip off the branch and then started to whistle as well.
There were no titans around that they could see, so that was a relief.
After about ten minutes of calling, his horse finally came back and stood underneath the tree they were in. Levi launched them from the tree and into the back of his horse. They then began riding back towards the woods with haste.
...
As they approached the woods, they could see the rest of the scout regiment getting down from the trees. A wave of relief fell over Lilly as she clung to Levi's waist.
Once they rode up to the group, Hange ran out to Levi's horse.
"Oh thank God. We thought you two were dead or lost." Hange sighed.
Hange then looked off to a wagon that was a little ways ahead and frowned.
"The Commander was badly injured Levi." Hange said quietly.
Levi suddenly rode forward with a jolt and Lilly nearly fell off.
When they approached the Commander laying in the wagon, they could see his arm had been completely torn off. He was in an extreme amount of pain as he laid there.
Levi scowled as he looked down at the Commander.
"Erwin, you idiot." Levi mumbled.
How would Erwin be able to lead them on with only one arm?
Hange caught up to them and looked down at Erwin herself. She frowned and looked back up at Levi.
"We've lost too many. Our numbers are the lowest they've ever been. But we got Eren back." Hange spoke once more.
"Then this was the cost. Lets make it worth it and get out of here before we lose anymore." Levi said in a dark tone before riding his horse forward to lead them.
...
When they returned to headquarters, Levi and Hange had disappeared with Eren to speak with Erwin in the infirmary about a newfound ability that Eren had displayed on the battlefield.
It was only a rumor that Lilly heard, but she was told that Eren had controlled the titans for a short period of time and turned the battle in their favor. This was probably the reason no titans were around the area where Lilly and Levi were stranded in.
If Eren could control titans, then this could change everything.
Lilly was feeling weak now as she climbed Levi's stairs and entered his bathing room. She was starting to get the chills despite the room being a comfortable temperature, and being rid of her soaked uniform.
She quietly filled the bath with warm water and then carefully dipped her toe in to test the water before submerging her entire body inside the basin.
But she was still shivering. And her head was starting to hurt.
Lilly closed her eyes and she lathered herself with her peach oil and tried to relax her muscles but she couldn't stop quivering.
She washed her hair slowly and then started to feel nauseous so she quickly rinsed her hair and got out. She dried herself off with a towel and then lazily climbed into bed still naked. She wrapped herself up in three different quilts but was still shaking.
She felt like the room was spinning so she tried to close her eyes. But when she closed her eyes, she felt like she was flying.
She couldn't escape the dizziness.
Almost two hours later, she heard the door downstairs open and close. She then heard boots coming up the stairs and the bedroom door open.
Levi stood in the doorway staring at her for a moment and then quickly walked over to her side of the bed. He put his hand over her forehead and let out a breath of air.
"You're burning up." He said.
"I'm so cold." Lilly said.
"You have a fever, that's why." He said as he gently pulled the blankets off her.
He saw she was naked so he turned and got a more thin blanket from his closet and covered her with it.
"You can't bundle yourself up like that. You'll overheat. Do you want to fry your brain?" He asked bluntly. "I'll have Hange come take a look at you tomorrow if you don't get over it tonight." He said as he tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Thank you." She said quietly.
"Get some rest. I have to sign off on reports. I'll be downstairs if you need anything." Levi said as he stroked her cheek with his thumb and rose off the edge of the bed.
Lilly watched as he disappeared down the stairway and into his office.
It was going to be a long night.
...
Lilly had eventually fallen asleep but not for long.
She woke up at 3am sweating.
Her forehead was drenched and her hair was clinging to her skin. Levi had been sitting in his chair across from the bed and looked up at her. He stood up and walked over to her and felt her forehead.
"Your body is trying to break the fever. I'll get you some water." He said quietly.
His eyes were trying to hide something from her, she could tell. He himself had started to look pale.
Lilly sat up and hung her feet over the edge of the bed. The window was cracked open so she decided to stand in front of it to cool off. The night was clear outside, despite the huge storm that had passed the day before.
Now there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
She heard Levi come from behind her and touch her shoulder. She turned quickly and looked into his eyes. They looked exhausted. Lilly reached her hand and touched his forehead and felt he too had started to burn up. She frowned at him before taking the water from his hand.
"You're getting sick too." Lilly said.
"I'll be fine." He said.
"Maybe you should rest yourself. I'll go check my dorm. I might have a fever reducing tincture left over. If not, I'll make us some sage tea." Lilly said as she caressed his cheek softly.
Levi looked at her blankly.
"We are all getting fevers." Levi said as he sat on the bed.
"There's more?" Lilly asked.
"It was from being stranded in that freezing rain. The season is changing too. These types of things usually hit harder in cold seasons." He said as he leaned over on his side.
Lilly leaned over and unbuttoned his shirt. She was still feeling terrible herself, but seeing him ill like that made her want to get up and do something about it.
Especially after he had hit his head so hard earlier.
He couldn't have been feeling too well.
"We lost too many good men. And now what's left of us are becoming ill with fevers." Levi said in a tired voice.
Lilly listened quietly as she pressed a cool cloth to his chest. He glanced at her with a less tense look.
"You fought well today. And you saved my life." He said as he reached out to her.
"I learned from the best." Lilly held his hand to her face.
...
One week later came confirmation that Wall Rose was still intact. By then, everyone had beat their fevers and returned to their daily routines.
News had spread that the refugees from Wall Rose were returning to their homes and the evacuation had ended. The people of Sina had finally gotten a taste of what would happen if the people of Rose were forced into their living space, and the reaction had not been so welcoming.
Word must have leaked out about Eren's new ability and that Christa had turned out to be Historia Reiss. Daughter of the noble family. People who possibly knew more about titans than they did. People that the Survey Corps were looking for, since Pastor Nick still wouldn't speak of the information he knew.
And that morning, everything changed.
Lilly was just about to change into her uniform after getting out of the bath when Levi had come up the stairs in a hurry. Lilly stood there dripping with a towel wrapped around her, staring at Levi.
"Put this on and take your things. We are leaving." Levi said as he tossed a simple grey dress to her.
"What? Why? Where are we going?" Lilly asked as she started drying herself off.
"We aren't staying here anymore. We have to leave." He said.
Lilly pulled the dress over her head and swallowed.
"Is everything okay? Where will we stay?" Lilly asked.
"Far from here. I'll explain when we leave." He said before exiting the room.
