No sooner than when we were getting ready to leave a soldier (probably the one I chucked my cloak at) shouted,

"Heichou, the girl has a Survey Corps cape!"

Levi looked at me sharply.

"Where'd you get a cape, brat?"

"I was walking in the forest, as a titan, and I came across a half-eaten lady. After we exchanged a few words she gave me her cape." I didn't tell them how she called me Humanity's Last Hope. I didn't know how they'd react, and frankly, I wasn't gonna risk it. Levi 'humphed' and told him to bring the cape over. He eyed the blood before looking at me again.

"Let's say I believe you. Where was this 'half-eaten lady'?"

"In the forest. By a creek."

He gave me another look before grabbing the cape and holding it up.

"Now tell me, why do you wear this?"

"I never knew the lady's name. I wear it for not that one Nameless Soldier, but for all of them. For the sacrifices they made."

He nodded, seeming pleased. My eyes widened when he wrapped it around me and clasped it. Maybe his opinion about me was changing. I smiled a little at the thought.

"When we get back both you and the cape are getting cleaned. You smell worse then a horse."

On second thought, maybe not.

The ride back to HQ was beautiful! My eyes widened and I gasped at the rolling plains around us, seemingly never ending with the occasional tree or two as well as a shrub. My cloak (may I remind you, still bloody), as well as Levi's, billowed out from behind, reminding me of a cloud. A green and bloody one. Luckily, my cape covered my long hair so it didn't get in Levi's eyes. I had ridden a horse before, I had just never galloped on one so this was an experience. I'm also not afraid to admit I was a little scared in the beginning, but got over it quickly. The rhythmic motions and beautiful scenery as well as the fast pace made it all so beautiful as I struggled with the moving landscape to carve the memory into my brain. Levi must've seen this because he snorted at me.

"I thought you lived outside these walls."

I looked at him over my shoulder

"I do. I've just never been outside the forest before."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"I was busy killing titans."

Something in his mind seemed to click and his eyes fell forward again. Briefly I realized that he may be trying to get as much information about me as possible without seeming suspicious. My findings were proven correct when he questioned me again, this time on how I survived. When I bluntly told him that he could ask whatever the heck he wanted and that I'd answer as best I could he looked taken aback before smirking and saying,

"Good."

I was definitely gonna be questioned later. If I wasn't given to the Military Police of course. He was silent the rest of he trip. Only then did I realize how strange this scene must look to the rest of the soldiers. I mean, finding a human outside the walls? In a titan infested forest? Impossible. Finding a thirteen year old girl out there? Nope, that's not even- just no.

A few moments later the walls came into view. I could hear a bell clanging the closer we got. I could also see the gate rumbling open and before I knew it we had darted in. It'd probably take a few moments before the others came in, I realized, for we had slowed to a walk. Me and Levi were one of the first to come in, so the Military Police got a bird's eye view of me. I got a little uncomfortable under their stares and whispers of unnecessary criticism, but Levi sharply yelled at them to get out of the way before he ran them over. When we were out of their earshot I turned to look at him.

"You were going to run them over. With a horse." I deadpanned.

He gave me a mean look before grabbing my head and turning me to the face forward.

I giggled.

He tightened his grip until I let out a small 'ow!' before letting go. Even so, I couldn't help but smile a little. He still has light in him, that's good. Now to make sure it stays there. The people all were sad and down trodden, even yelling at the soldiers, calling them names and words I'm not allowed to say. That is, until they saw me. When their eyes landed on me whispers started up. Things like 'I haven't seen her before. She's from outside the wall!' and other comments. Some about how I was from outside the wall, others about how I was just another useless soldier, and even some calling me mean things that I'm, once again, not allowed to say. After we got a little ways away from town we started galloping again. I could feel the Titan Effects coming on. I had to let Levi know so that no one freaks out.

"Um, excuse me, Mr. Levi?"

"How do you know my name?"

Cue deadpan expression on my part.

"...Nevermind. What is it?"

"When I come out of my titan- well, let's just say there's side effects."

He raised a brow. "Such as?"

"Well, every time I use it, depending on how long, I go into a state of hibernation for a minimum of twenty-four hours."

A look of understanding flashed through his eyes before he sighs. "How long will you be out?"

I bite my bottom lip before answering "I estimate around a day and a half."

He nods. "That's not too long. That can work."

"You plan to take me to court."

"Yes."

"Mk. You might wanna prepare yourself."

Cue raised brow look. "Why is that?"

"Because I can feel the effects...right...now..."

And that's all I can say before my world goes black and I feel him catch me.

This is uncomfortable, the first thing I realize when I wake up again. My body feels like it's lain on stones or something. I can also feel two heavy cold things on my wrists and hear voices. One of said voices, I realize, is Levi, and the other remains a mystery. 'I might be in the dungeon', I realize, and at this, my eyes snap open and I shoot up like a cannon. My assumptions prove correct as I take in the dark and musty appearance of my current location as well as the dark cylinder bars that are in front of me. The two heavy cold things turn out to be shackles and my body wasn't placed on stone, rather, a really hard, wooden bed with no pillow.

The voices stop as soon as I'm awake.

"So. Your awake brat."

"Yep."

"Tch. Okay listen, your trial is to be held as soon as you wake up, and your awake."

"'Nuff said."

Only then do I realize that the owner of the other voice was watching the display with growing fascination. I turn to look at The Owner of the Mystery Voice and it turns out to be Hange.

"Oh hello. I'm Anita Bain."

She smiles.

"I'm Hange."

"I know."

At her confused look, Levi explains.

"The brat claims to have future knowledge that's indispensable to us."

Hange looks at me wide-eyed, speechless, and not knowing what to think. Levi cuts in irritably.

"Tch. If we don't go now we'll be late. Come on brat, we'll have this discussion after the trial."

Levi produces a key that he jams into the lock of my cell, and, with a twist and a push, unlocks the door. He then undoes my shackles, but bounds my hands and then walks me outside my cell. After we go up a flight of stairs and down a hallway we're there. Hange and Levi push open the large double doors and lead me to the center of the room. Knowing what to do, I kneel down and they slide the pole in place. After that, I look up at the judge. He states his name and why we're having the trial, then he gives the Military Police permission to announce their proposal of what to do to me.

"I, Nile Dok, say that after we have a thorough examination of her body-"

I shiver a little at that.

"-we make her a martyr for humanity. This way any information of titans she may have can be used for good."

So, the same exact thing as Eren, huh? Well then.

After the judge gives a nod to Erwin, he starts his proposal.

"I, Erwin Smith, propose that Anita works with the Survey Corps under command of Levi. That is all."

I'm not sure I'm liking how cannon this is.

The judge turns to me, "You say your name is Anita Bain, correct?"

I give him a nod.

"Do you have anything you wish to say?"

"Lots, if you'll hear me out."

He gives a nod. I take a deep breath.

"Well-" I turn to the MP "- You really think molesting me and then killing me is gonna help humanity at all? Really? Also, even if I did have information about titans inside my body, how are you gonna use it against the titans? It's inside my body for Pete's sake!"

Never had I seen someone's face go maroon so fast. But before he can yell at me, I look at the judge again.

"Personally, I'd put myself in the Survey Corp's hands. Not only will I live, but they can train me properly and they're more than capable of taking care of me should something go wrong."

After I'm done putting my two cents in I relax and look at the judge with awaiting eyes. Waiting for my fate to be decided. Waiting for my life to be decided. Waiting for humanity's fate to be decided. The judge leans back in his chair and takes a deep breath, suddenly looking too old for everything. When he opens his eyes he speaks loud and clear.

"I have come to a decision."

Everyone's breaths hitch, waiting.

"Anita will be given to the Survey Corps. End of discussion!"

With that he brings the hammer down, and my fate is sealed.

After getting freed, but still being watched, I'm confronted by Levi and Hange. Levi talks first.

"Ok brat, you'll ride with me. When we get to HQ we're going to pay Erwin a visit."

I nod, and we're off.

The forest that we're riding through is gorgeous, though I won't tell the others my discovery as they've seen this forest many times before. Trees align the trodden path we're taking and then they branch- pun intended. Pun intended indeed- off endlessly. Gentle sunbeams stream from the spread out canopy above our heads as our riding is soon slowed to a trot. I realize that I was so captivated by the beauty of the forest that we had arrived a moment ago. Levi calls to a man, and I recognize him as the horse care taker. You know, the guy with the white cloth on his head and nearly got his hair eaten by the horse? Yeah, that guy. Anyway, Levi called him over to take care of the horse and then ordered me to get off. Which I did. Then I immediately regretted it as my legs felt, well, weird. I haven't ridden a horse in such a long time that I forgot the after effects. After me and Levi started walking, however, the effects slowly went away. We went up a flight of stairs, down innumerable hallways, and eventually came across a door. Levi knocked on said door and, after hearing a muffled "Come in!", stepped inside of Erwin's office.

Erwin put aside whatever he was working on and looked at me. I think he was studying me. Afterward, his gaze turned toward Levi who cleared his throat and then spoke.

"Erwin, this is the brat I told you about. The one who claims to see the future."

"I see."

This time, I pipe up. "You don't believe me do you?"

"Not nece-"

"Erwin, the brat has information on who kicked down the wall."

This got his attention.

"Oh? And is she willing to share this information?"

Both men looked at me, a signal to provide my answer.

"No, not yet. If I do, I'm not sure how everyone would react. They'd either listen to me, or go behind my back. I can't let that happen. If I share my knowledge with you there's some I have to keep to myself because I don't know how it'd affect the future and I don't want it to spin out of control."

Erwin nodded his head. Then said,

"Very well then, share with us what you will."

I told him everything I could.

Erwin blinked when I was finished. Levi had left a while ago, probably to clean or something so me and Erwin could have some privacy.

"I must say, that's quite a tale. So, do you have a plan? At all?"

"Nope. For now, I say we let things run as they are, we aren't into anything huge yet. Also, before I go, I'd like to ask something of you."

"Go ahead."

"When the first Titan Shifter is revealed, fight your hardest to get him in the Survey Corps. And when you do, I'd like you to put me in charge of him."

He thought for a moment. He thought hard, before finally looking back at me.

"I'll see what I can do. How important is this first Titan Shifter?"

"Pretty important. That and you know you want two Titan Shifters to prepare for what's coming."

He nodded again. "Very well. You're free to go now. Levi will show you to your sleeping arrangements."

"Mk."

I got the feeling I was sleeping the dungeon...

...Aaaannd I was correct. My dungeon room is nothing to brag about. The only difference from the one I was originally was that the bed felt less a rock and more like a soft piece of wood, comfy enough to sleep on. I also didn't have a pillow, only white blankets and bed sheet. Oh well, better than nothing.

So um, I'm not gonna be able to update next week because I'm going on vacation, that's why this one's early! Also, constructive criticism would be awesome. I'd like to know if I've made anyone OOC. So, um, yeah. Bye!
