And I promise you all, I will surprise you.


"You what?" Incredulously asked Mikasa and Lily simultaneously. They were both rather shocked to hear what Lynne had to say to them. The sun's spears of light continued to pierce through the large pieces of fluff high above. Today was the second day without seeing Eren Jaeger. It was four in the afternoon, and they had all woken up at 6AM to go on a long run around the forest, up the north trail- the longest trail- and back. After that, the ate brunch and practiced with their swords again. Now, they were all sweaty. The day was planned out completely for all of the scouts.

But somehow along the way, Lynne had already managed to get herself in trouble.

"Yeah," Lynne sheepishly replied, her eyes clear with annoyance, "I'm supposed to run around the forest until nine by myself and skip dinner because I..." The girl paused for a moment, letting out a deep, perplexed sigh, "ruined the marble floors around the headquarters with my skid marks or whatever Corporal called them," she placed a hand on her forehead as if checking for her temperature. She had thought that the Corporal was nice and forgiving. Apparently not. He was just a short, rude man.

"But you barely made any marks!" Christa, who stood her place beside Ymir and Mikasa furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "I don't understand why he would do such a harsh thing... not to mention you didn't even eat lunch..." She held back a gasp, "Lynne, don't go! You could get sick! You'll faint in the forest without anybody knowing!"

"You!" Lily sent her sister a dark look, "You didn't eat again!?"

"I..." Lynne gave her a defeated look, "Sasha wanted some of my food..." She averted her eyes.

"And you..!?" Lily's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You gave her your whole plate." Mikasa sternly said, her dark, grey eyes trying to bore holes into Lynne's own grey eyes.

The scar on Lynne's right eye felt as if it were on fire, "Yes."

"..This is expected from Lynne." Ymir plainly commented, rolling her eyes at the blonde haired girl.

"Everyone, this is my plan. During dinner, take some food and leave it for Lynne. Stay awake until Lynne gets back, and give her the food without being noticed," Christa smiled at everyone, sending Lynne a look.

The small group of girls seemed to be content with this plan, Christa having a satisfied look on her face after Lynne smiled and nodded back.

"Well," Lynne began jogging on spot, a silly smile on her face, "gotta leave before Mr. Fabulous comes in."

Ah, yes. That was what the circle had dubbed their Corporal; Mister Fabulous. Even people outside the circle began to use the new nickname.

"Right," Ymir smirked, "off you go."

"Be safe! No walking off trail!" Lily sputtered all at once before she could cover her mouth to make herself shut up.

Lynne gave Lily a stone-hard look before smiling emptily. She twisted around and began her run.


The night was rather chilly. Fog had formed around and inside the forest, making it hard to tell if any shadows spotted within it were just branches or actual beings. Tonight, the sky barely had traces of grey clouds. The moon was carved like a perfect crescent up above. The cabins were already filled with people, most sleeping off their weariness whilst some stayed up.

The cabin for the males had their lights off already, meanwhile in the other cabin, the lights were still on. Most of the girls were fast asleep, Sasha sleeping peacefully even after Mikasa's lecture about taking someone's whole plate of food.

Mikasa, Ymir, Lily and Christa were still up, waiting for the hero's arrival.

Christa had gotten very fidgety and worried about Lynne's health. Lynne easily got sick for some reason. She had a weak immune system, but her system was very odd in a way. Lynne would never catch a fever even when helping the sick. She never got sick when everyone was sick. It was the same for Lily, actually. Everyone had found this extremely strange, but no one pondered on it.

Lynne would always get fevers when it was least expected. It was random.

"Can we wait outside for her?" Christa finally spoke in a loud whisper, her eyes filled with concern.

"Why?" Ymir rose an eyebrow.

"Because she might've fainted in the forest- or something might've attacked her! That way we can hear her when she comes." The girl reasoned carefully, determined to lead everyone outside the cabin, near the trail entrances.

Lily suddenly looked panicked. "Let's go!" She hurriedly said, walking outside in her sleepwear.

Mikasa shrugged and followed closely behind her, the other girls trailing behind Mikasa in a line, food in their hands.

It was nine thirty now, and the girl should've been in her cabin by nine or less.

"Damn, where is she?" Ymir cursed, narrowing her eyes at the forest. She couldn't see through the thick fog.

"We might get caught..." Mikasa reminded everyone, "stay quiet."

Lily only nodded, staying cautious for any figures heading their way.

As if on cue, a shadow of someone dragging themselves away from the forest appeared.

"Is that her..?" Christa narrowed her eyes.

"Who else could it be?" Lily giggled, a smile on her face once she saw the familiar face start jogging weakly towards them. "Lyn-!"

"What the hell are you kids doing out here."

The jogging figure seemed to break into a run upon seeing the 160cm figure, rushing towards the girls. There, came out a very, very disheveled and fatigued Lynnette. Her hair was tied up high, perspiration forming on her head. She had her jacket thrown across her shoulder carelessly, her boots looking dirty and worn out from all that running.

"Scout Lynnette," Levi looked amused, "you came back rather late."

Lynne, for the first time in years, gave him an evil, annoyed glare, not responding to his question verbally.

"Wipe that looked off your face, I'm your superior."

"Tsk." Lynne looked rather wolfish, wiping her hand across her lips.

"Now, what are you all doing here," Levi eyed them suspiciously before taking a quick whiff once he smelled something familiar. He quickly grabbed Lily's hidden hand, revealing a potato and eliciting a sharp gasp from her lips, her minty eyes wide. "I knew it." He growled, pushing her away, onto the ground.

Mikasa was quick to aid her, Christa standing still with a shocked look on her face.

"Who's idea was this." His voice was commanding, and it wasn't until then that Lynne thought that the position of Corporal suited him.

"I-it was-!" Christa began, only to be cut off by the girl on the ground herself.

"Mine," Lily hissed, "it was my idea. My idiot of a sister didn't eat lunch and you forced her to work harder than everyone else for small skid marks that could've easily been rid of."

"Are you talking back to me?" Levi's glare intensified, a dark look looming over his face.

"Ye-s!" She let the 's' out with a loud squeak when a boot landed next to her face.

"You best be glad you're a girl, Blanche." He hissed.

Something in Lynne snapped. She knew that it was because of all the pent up anger and frustration, but she had to let it go. Now. Her eyes widened, grey turning into a metallic, sharp silver, a still frown plastered on her face. Within seconds, she was behind Levi. She quickly grabbed his cape and pushed him away from the girls with one swift movement.

Levi blinked as he felt himself being pushed. He skidded to a stop on his feet, his eyes slightly widening at the look in her eyes.

He'd seen the same look. He'd seen the same eyes.
But that was long ago.


Levi continued to survey the small district of Shiganshina in search of Hanji Zoe. The crazed woman had ran out of a few things for a lab experiment on a few filthy disgusting street rats. She had told Levi and Erwin beforehand that she was off to Shiganshina for a day on search of good equipment and a few errands to find food that could only be found in this district in general. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. It'd been a day, and she wasn't even back yet.

"She said she'd be back in a day..." he growled under his breath, a few strangers staring at the cape which clung to him.

"The Reconnaissance corps cape?"

"The wings of freedom!"

"I heard that they haven't found anything useful yet... All those poor souls."

Levi shook his head at those words, but amidst the crowd, he could hear a girl's voice. The voice was innocent and soft.

"Excuse me, sir?" The soft voice spoke in a questioning tone behind him, a delicate, small hand tugging at his cape.

The short haired corporal turned around to face the owner of the voice, not surprised when he saw a girl who fit the voice perfectly. She had light blonde hair- which seemed lean in between a light shade pink and blonde. She had a bag of bread in her arms. The girl had warm grey eyes like his own, but it was much more lighter. There were no scars on her face, and her lips were painted with a light, reddish orange color. She looked pretty.

The girl smiled. "Are you from the umm.. R-Rec...Reconnai..sance corps- I think it was called?" The girl seemed to question herself.

"Yes, I am." Levi quickly and sharply responded, wanting to leave.

The girl's smile widened as she pulled out a loaf of bread. "Here," she stuck the hand with bread in it out to him, "please accept this. Please consider this as everyone's saying of thanks for killing the mean titans out there."

He looked at the loaf of bread, then back at the girl dressed in a pure, white dress. "Thank you," he thanked her, taking the loaf of bread from her grasp and taking it into his own.

The girl's eyes widened, a small blush on her face. She closed her eyes and grinned, showing her teeth. The back of her teeth were slightly crooked, imperfect.

He smirked before standing up and walking away, though the girl seemed to follow him. After a few minutes of nothing but silence and walking, he turned around to question her. "Why are you following me." He plainly shot at her, startling her slightly with his rough tone.

"U-Umm, my house is this way," she blushed, "so I'm sorry if it seems like I'm following you..."

"Oh." Was all he said before he turned away from her, realizing that her arms had a few bruises on it. It made him want to pry why she had them to begin with. Was it child abuse from her parents? Bullies? Even though, the girl still seemed to be happy.

Their journey continued with utter, awkward silence until the girl said something.

"When I grow up, I want to be in the Reconnaissance corps." She stated with a small smile.

Levi stopped. "What..?" He wasn't sure if he heard that properly. Why would a child as happy as her- who seemed sane- want to enter the Survey Corps..?

"I want to join the Reconnaissance Corps." She simply declared.

"Why?" Levi turned his head towards her direction with mild interest. What could make a child so curious to join the Recon Corps? "Don't you know how dangerous it is? Do you know how many of us died going on expeditions-?" He was cut off.

"I want to join the Reconnaissance Corps."

He twitched at her eagerness, "Look, brat, I really don't-."

"It doesn't matter." She brushed him off, "I want to join no matter what. I want to protect my family and know what it's like to fight. I want to learn how to fear. I want to learn how to kill. I want to learn what it's like beyond the walls."

He was shocked, to say the least. This girl wanted to know what it was like to kill..? She wanted to learn how to fear? Maybe she was insane after all.

She scowled, "I'm sick of just staying in these walls, not knowing what's actually to fear out there. The fears I've gained staying in the walls- I know- are a miniscule compared to what is out there."

Levi rose an eyebrow at her vocabulary. She knew quite a lot. He then continued to extend forward, the child behind him. "Say, kid, how old are you?"

"Twelve. I'm twelve."

"And your name is?"

"...My name is-..!"

A sound of a bag dropping.

Levi paused his actions once more, turning around to see what was wrong with her. Her eyes were wide with shock, focused to her left where a dark alley was. The once, fresh bread was sprawled across the dirty floor, the paper bag which held the contents to the side being held down by a few loaves which hadn't made it out. He turned to see what she was looking at, his own eyes widening with slight shock.

Oh.

In the dark alley, barely lit by sunlight, were five boys, kicking something repeatedly. The faint noises of their kicks echoed down the alley along with the muffled cries of a child. Levi narrowed his eyes as the child beside him began to shake. He then realized what they were kicking was a girl. A girl with long hair, wearing a light, green colored smock dress. She was crying, covering her eyes and face with her bruised arms.

He was just about to enter the alley before the child beside him walked forward, her pace swift. She stopped half way, standing with an intimidating, dark aura.

"Hey." She called out, her voice no longer sweet and innocent. Her voice was much more dark, and her pitch had dropped a few notches.

A dark haired boy turned around, his eyes widening for a moment. He smirked, "Well hello there, miss adopted child." His tone was cocky. He dropped a fistful of cordovan hair, the girl falling down with a wail.

The rest of the males in that small, narrow area turned to face her, disgusting smirks on their faces.

"What are you doing to my sister." Her voice wasn't questioning, it was dead serious.

"Ooh, you sound so scary now. You sounded to sweet before," another boy spoke up, "did seeing this make you snap?" He continued to prod at her.

"Brat," she hissed, "I'm talking to all of you. What are you doing to my sister."

"Well, long-story short, she said that if we stopped playing with you, we could play with her instead." That same, dark haired boy answered. "But seeing as you're fully recovered... almost, we want to play with you right now." He smirked.

A tall male smirked, "She's boring," he jutted a finger out at the other girl, "she doesn't scream as much. She tends to cover her mouth, and we don't like that."

Levi narrowed his eyes in disgust, noticing that the boys didn't seem to take notice to Levi, who was near the entrance.

"Try me then," she lifted a leg to her front, "it's a dare. This time, I'll teach you a lesson not to toy with us anymore."

Everything happened in a blur to Levi. He wasn't sure if he should help the girl out or let her fight her own demons. After a few seconds of decision making, he stepped forward, only to be stopped by the girl herself.

"Stop," she grunted out as she threw a boy across from where she was, "don't come closer. I want to do this," she glanced over at him quickly, "I want to show you how capable I am. I want to join the Recon corps." She said before she was attacked by one of the other males present.

He stopped himself, backing out. Something about how the girl said this bothered him. It was as if she were desperate to redeem herself to him.

The girl had managed to beat one of them to pulp, the others having dislocated shoulders, knees and ankles. One of them eventually became desperate, cracked a near by wine bottle in half and struck the blonde, though it manged to graze her right eye- but not enough to penetrate through the thin skin. He was the one who was both beaten to pulp and ended with a dislocated shoulder.

The twelve year old, after beating them up, quickly threw her passed-out sister's arm over her, helping her get out of the cage. The blonde child limped out of the alley with both eyes open and a new set of bruises on her face and arms, her right eye bleeding though she didn't seem to pay too much attention to it. She was too busy thinking of a way to their home fast.

Levi, noticing that she was done, walked over to her, a bag filled with bread in his arms. "Brat, I-!" That was when he realized how much pain she had gone through. Seeing all her injuries, his eyes trailed further up, looking at her bleeding right eye.

The girl looked over at him, her eyes a bright, silver color. The only thing visible was her pupil and the bright color. Her eyes were tainted with rage. "It's fine, mister." She smiled. "Live on for us, mister. Carry our hopes."

With that, she turned around and walked away.


Levi was in shock. How could he not have noticed earlier? This was the girl.

The girl that made him realize why he was in the Reconnaissance Corps again. The girl that taught him to fight his own demons. The girl that he had always thought about before. The girl who made him think wrong about the kids younger than him- that the children weren't as weak as he thought they were.

She was the girl with the spirit of a lion.


"Well," Lily sighed, "I don't really get how we got out of that one, but I'm glad we didn't get anything worse other than cleaning duty. I can't believe he let you eat, though." She smiled slightly in her bed covers.

"I don't really get how either, but he looked really nostalgic for a moment." Lynne said, her hair wet from the shower she had recently taken. She slipped on a light grey camisole and shoved herself into her black, baggy sweatpants.

"And shocked," Mikasa added on.

"See?" Ymir chuckled, "I told you he liked you."

"No, Ymir, no." Lynne denied flatly, her face void of any emotion.

"Ymir," Christa softly spoke, seeing as a few females shifted in their positions with all their talk, "we should just sleep- and please stop teasing Lynne!"

"Of course, of course," Ymir smirked, sliding into her own bed. "'Nite, idiots."

"Goodnight," Lynne replied, closing her eyes as she dragged her bed covers over her.

"Like wise," Mikasa smiled as she tossed herself onto her bed.

"Goodnight," Christa yawned before closing her eyes, "get ready for tomorrow's training."

"Yeah, okay," Lily wearily replied.
