"Ahna get up we have to go." Levi's voice was urgent as he pulled the blankets off. I sat up quickly, a splitting head ache hitting me immediately.
"Ah…jeeze." I groaned holding my head. "What's going on?"
"Titans, we have to go." I quickly sprang out of the bed before realizing I left my uniform in my room. "Here I grabbed them for you." Levi stated, throwing my uniform at me. Good boy, I loved you for a reason. I quickly got dressed, attaching my 3DMG and running out of the room behind Levi. I quickly threw my hair in a pony tail, rushing down to the first floor of the HQ.
"Listen up the titans have breached Wall Rose again. Our plan is simple, we need to escort Eren to the breach, and get him to plug a new hole. The colossal titan has managed to put a hole in the wall itself rather than the opening Eren fixed last time. Our efforts are to keep any titans off Eren while he fixes the hole. The garrison will again keep the titans to a corner of the area the best they can. Let's go." Erwin called, leading us out of the HQ and towards Wall Rose. We sprinted to the wall, using our 3DMG to reach the top, where Commander Pixis stood with part of the Garrison. Erwin and Levi stood by him discussing the plan. I hadn't realized Damien had been next to Commander Pixis as we all showed up. I stared nervously as all 4 men discussed the plan calmly. Levi then turned to the rest of us, speaking loudly.
"Ahna, Mikasa, Armin, Hange and I will directly be accompanying Eren to the breach. Our mission is simple; keep the titans at bay so Eren can focus. Go." Those named, all moved the instant Levi said go. If Levi said jump, you better jump high without question. That's how it was.
"Ahna…" Damien's voice was quiet. I ignored it and leapt quickly off the wall with the rest of my team. Back in action; I was ecstatic to be out in the field finally. We swung through the mazes of houses, all of us moving quickly.
"Ahna, off to the left, Mikasa go right. Armin, Hange, keep to the rear. Eren Transform when you're ready." We all split off as soon as Levi commanded, Eren transforming immediately after. It was a mess and titans were all over the place. Eren fought his way through three titans before finally being able to start his mission. Levi shot off a signal to the wall, showing the start of our mission. I moved quickly through a small patch of houses, keeping in a relatively close distance to the breach. I stopped on top of one of the houses, smirking as a 7 meter titan came walking past.
"HEY UGLY!" I yelled as the titan approached. It extended its arm in an attempt to grab me. I was much quicker, jumping up and using my 3DMG to swing myself behind it. I spun in the air, ripping over its flesh, slicing its neck quickly. I swung my way back up to the house as the titan fell to the ground. Not very many people have seen me fight. Most who have, were already dead. I sprinted along the rooftop to the next approaching titan. For years Levi trained me one on one. I knew a lot of what he knew, except he was an expert…though I was still rather quick on my feet. I quickly swung around the titan, spinning again, slashing its hands to shreds as it tried to reach out for me. As I came around behind it, I hadn't noticed a third titan approaching, and fast. My blades came in contact with the titan I was focused on. Narrowly, I missed the swing of the third titan as it knocked the other titan's head sideways after I sliced its weak spot. I spun through the air, turning towards the third titan, getting hit hard in the chest. I flew backwards, feeling the crack of one of my ribs.
"Ahhhh!" I cried out, clenching my teeth, as I hit the rooftop, rolling backwards. I bruised multiple ribs as I rolled across the rooftop, nearly falling off the other side. Thankfully, I was able to hold on to the ledge, hoisting myself back up on the roof. My stomach twisted as my face was almost taken off by the chomping titan in front of me. A quick flash of green and the titan's head slid sideways. Levi stood with his back to me, covered in blood.
"Watch yourself Ahna, don't be reckless." I rolled my eyes, standing up and gasping as the wind knocked out of me.
"Look…" I gasped, holding my ribs, "It's a little hard when it nearly killed me." Levi shook his head, sitting me down against one of the protruding windows.
"Try not to move too much, if you broke any ribs, you could puncture your lung. Stay still the best you can. I've got this side. I nodded, wincing as I breathed. Levi continued to fight in my place, as I watched him fly through the air with ease. I turned my gaze to Eren's titan form. It was the first time I really saw it. He was scary, standing 15 meters high. I watched as he tried hard to plug the hole. An 11 meter titan came barreling past towards Eren. Oh no this wasn't good at all. I watched nervously as Mikasa flew through the air, taking down the 11 meter with ease. Wow, she was really good. I looked back at Levi as he slashed yet another titan down. When he looked up, fear hit his face immediately. What the…
"FUCK!" I screamed as part of the window I was leaning against, shattered and the structure around it crumbled around me. My body slid down the roof, one of the bricks hitting me hard in the shoulder as it rolled past me. I cried out again, my shoulder dislocating as I fell off the roof, hitting the ground hard. Oh yea…now I know I had a couple of broken ribs. I lay on the ground wheezing, as it hurt to breathe at this point. The loud banging of a titan walking toward me had me realizing I couldn't get away. My body was heavy, and it hurt horribly to move. I stared up at the titan as it approached. Gritting my teeth, I closed my eyes, bracing myself for even more pain; pain that never came. I opened my eyes slowly to see the titan fall within inches of my face. Levi stood on its head, facing me.
"Are you alright?" I shook my head no, wincing as I attempted to move. "Stay still, Eren got the hole shut. I'll get you out of here in just a second." Levi stood by me trying his hardest to keep me calm. The pain was starting to be rather overwhelming, as I lay broken and bruised. The one thing I don't usually cry over was physical pain. I was practically panting at this point though, seeing as deep breaths only hurt much worse. The rest of our team finally approached, looking down at us.
"Oh my god, Ahna are you okay?" Hange's voice rang out.
"She broke a few ribs; we need to get her out of here." Levi replied, walking around to my side.
"I dislocated my shoulder too." I wheezed, wincing yet again. Hange and Levi surrounded me now.
"Okay honey, we're going to get you to stand straight, on your knees though okay? I'm going to hold your upper body while Levi pops your shoulder back into place. This is really going to hurt so I'm sorry ahead of time." Hange came to my other side, helping Levi lift me to my knees. I cried out as they lifted me up, the pain in my chest and back making me want to pass out. Hange made her way around to my front, holding under my arms, just above my broken ribs, firmly. Levi stepped behind me, placing the palm of his hand against my shoulder blade, pushing firmly. He brought his other hand around to the front of my shoulder and in one swift motion he pushed both ways, the pain from the pop of my shoulder being put back literally knocked me unconscious. Levi, with the help of Hange, carried me on his back as he used his 3DMG to get us back to the wall. They practically had to tie me to him; otherwise I would have fallen off. We finally reached the wall, where everyone cheered Eren for his second time plugging the wall. Erwin stared at Levi confused when we reached the top, before realizing I was unconscious.
"Shit what happened?" He helped get me off Levi's back, placing me gently on the floor. Commander Pixis, Damien, and many other soldiers surrounded us at this point.
"She broke a couple ribs, and we had to pop her shoulder back into place. The pain rendered her unconscious." Levi stated. "She needs a doctor, now." The urgency in his voice got everyone moving quickly to find one.
"This wouldn't have happened if she stayed with the Garrison." Damien mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.
"And whose bright idea was it to kick her out?" Hange growled, glaring up at Damien. Levi put his hands up shushing them both.
"This is no time for petty bullshit, right now, she needs us so shut the fuck up and do your jobs, both of you." Levi removed his cloak, rolling it up and placing it under my head, to cushion it from the stone floor. He kneeled on one knee, next to me, watching over me intently incase I woke up.
"Levi the doctor's here." Erwin chimed in, as the doctor came running with a couple of the Survey Corps soldiers. Everyone backed away, letting the doctor do his job.
"I'm just saying, she'd be safer back in the Garrison." Damien said as they all stood off to the side. Hange rolled her eyes while Levi ignored him.
"You're the one who pushed her away. She's happier with us!" Hange argued.
"Yea I can tell, unconscious and completely happy getting hurt while on mission." Damien retorted, getting frustrated.
"The past few weeks, she's been on many missions and all of which have been successful." Hange growled, "she's with those who really care about her. I know for a fact she's happy."
"Oh really? She's back in the Survey Corps, who 'really care' about her? Don't forget none of you contacted her either when she left the first time." Hange glared daggers at Damien. He was right though, none of us contacted each other.
"What makes you think she'd be happier in the Garrison?" Levi asked calmly, still staring as the doctor worked. Damien looked at him confused. "You really don't know her. She loves fighting titans, probably as much as Hange here. She loves being in the middle of the storm and doing more than twiddling her thumbs on top of the wall while we all kill the titans. You think she'd be happier sitting around? You think she'd be happier what…with someone like you? Is that what you are trying to imply?" Levi finally turned to Damien, his look completely stone cold.
"She was happier. Yea she complained that the Garrison was boring, but she enjoyed it." Damien argued. "And yea, I think she definitely would be happier with me." Levi chuckled, surprising everyone around him.
"And that's why she's my girlfriend now right? 'Cause she was just so damn happy with you." Damien, Hange and Erwin all stared at Levi wide eyed.
"You…are back together?" Damien's voice cracked. "Or are you just fucking with me?" Levi's face was calm as he stared directly into Damien's eyes.
"Yea we are. I have no reason to lie. Ask for yourself when she's awake." Damien stared stunned at Levi as Levi crossed his arms over his chest. Hange practically jumped from where she was standing, screaming loudly, making everyone turn to the group confused. She wrapped her arms tightly around Levi squealing hugging him.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it I'm so excited!" Levi rolled his eyes, elbowing Hange, making her double over.
"Hug me again, and I'll feed you to the titans." She giggled standing up right. Damien stared at Levi with utter shock still. He glanced to Erwin, catching Erwin's slight proud smirk, which Levi ignored.
"Why…why would she get back with you?" Damien's voice was low and calm. Other than Hange and Erwin, no one was paying attention to the group any more. Levi arched an eyebrow.
"Why wouldn't she?"
"Because…you…you're cold, cruel, and a piece of shit. You don't deserve a girl like that. She's amazing, sweet and caring. You don't deserve that." Levi continued to stare before nodding his head.
"You're right, I am cold, I am cruel, and if you think I'm a piece of shit, so be it I really don't give a fuck. That girl there, she loves me regardless of what I really am or regardless of what you think I am. I may not deserve a girl like her, but neither do you. It just so happens, she chose me over you. She had many chances to leave if she wanted and go running back to you. Even last night she had a clear chance, though you are just stupid and fucked it up for yourself. She doesn't love you. She may care, but she doesn't love you, so don't get those two confused. If she wanted you back, don't you think she would've left by now?" Damien glared hard at Levi, whose expression was unwavering. "Just because you think I'm some cold heartless monster, that doesn't deserve her either, that doesn't mean I don't nor wouldn't love her any less than I always have. Don't forget, I came before you, and I'm the one here for her now. You threw that away and kept pushing her in different directions. She wanted what hasn't changed and wouldn't change. I'm her comfort zone, you…you're just a mess of emotions." Damien stayed quiet as Levi's words thrashed at him.
"L…Levi…" my voice was raspy, as I started to come to. Levi gave a see-what-I-mean look, before turning to me and walking over. He kneeled down next to me, taking my hand in his. "Stop…arguing." I groaned at the pain still in my chest.
"You heard all that?" He asked, looking at me a little surprised. I nodded my head, squeezing his hand tightly.
"Only the last little bit really." The doctor stood up, having finished wrapping me in a billion bandages.
"She'll need some time off. No expeditions, no missions for a while. No extra-curricular activities either…" He eyeballed Levi, making Erwin and Hange laugh and Damien glare with immense hatred at Levi.
"Well, looks like you'll get plenty of that time you wanted." Levi said sarcastically, making me chuckle and wince. "Such a shame."
"Don't make me laugh." I whined.
"Well I could always tie you down…" The doctor glared at Levi, making me laugh more, crying out a little in pain.
"I swear to god, I will trash your room so bad, you can't clean it."
"You can't do anything if you can't move, now can you?" I glared at Levi who almost smirked, but managed to keep his traditional straight face. Thankfully, the doctor was the only person who really heard anything from the talks that were going on. Everyone else had been clearing out and finishing last minute things, too busy to hear anything going on. Damien scoffed at our little back and forth, turning his back and sulking away. I really did feel bad for Damien, but I really loved Levi. That couldn't change, not in a million years.
