Ai: I don't own AOT though I wish I did.

Faye: Its all you talk about -_-

Ai: Shut up Faye *mumbles curses*

Faye: *sigh* While Ai is grumbling off in her corner, allow me to say that she only owns me.

Chapter Three

*Levi's POV*

I had asked the commander shortly after that cloaked menace had fled beyond the wall to follow her, or at least find out where she was posted. Of course, he denied it at first. It wasn't until a few days after the encounter that he allowed me to go. I should have known that it would be hard to find someone wearing black in a heavily shaded forest.

"Hmph, now her attire makes sense," I grumbled.

A few miles from the heart of the titan forest I came across a sight I would never forget. There, just a few feet in front of me on the forest floor, was a woman with autumn red hair that reached to her slim waist. Her clothes were dark in color, yet matched perfectly with her surroundings. On her back was a quiver full of arrows and in her hand was a bow. I landed on a nearby branch and watched as the woman stared at the ground, obviously tracking her prey. She looked as if she had been doing this for years.

A small grin tugged at my lips when I noticed her turn her head slightly in my direction. However, that grin soon disappeared when I had to raise my blades to block her arrow.

"So she did notice me. How on Earth did she shoot an arrow that fast?" I thought to myself.

"Show yourself!" she called out, aiming yet another arrow in my direction.

Her voice sounded familiar. It was light and musical, yet strong and fierce. Almost like that cloaked woman's. With a sigh I launched into the air and landed in front of her. I glared at the woman as I put my blades back where they belonged. I had to admit, she was beautiful with her crystal blue eyes and delicate pink lips. Her body was small, yet curved in just the right places. She didn't look like someone who could live out in these woods for very long.

"Who are you?" she asked, nudging her bow at me in a motion for me to speak.

"Could ask you the same," I stated, smirking slightly, "How long have you lived out here?"

She seemed to hesitate a bit before she answered, "My whole life."

"And your name?"

"You first," she said lowering her bow.

"Answer the question brat," I growled as her hair flew into her face, blocking the view of her beautiful eyes.

"Faye Lawson," she said as she tossed her hair out of her face.

"You lived out here with the Titans your whole life, Lawson?" I asked, questioning her on her hesitation.

"Yes, by masking my scent day in and day out," she shrugged.

The hell did she say?!

"Excuse me?!"

"You heard me."

I clicked my tongue out of irritation and stepped towards the woman. It was mostly to see what she would do. To see if she was in fact that cloaked woman. As soon as I had taken a step towards her she had her bow raised and had taken a step back. I kept walking towards her, wanting to see what she'd do. Her bow moved a couple inches and soon there was an arrow where my right foot would've been. I glared at the arrow for a few seconds before redirecting the glare at the woman.

"Stay back!" she demanded.

I noticed a titan out of the corner of my eye and groaned inwardly. This was going to be like Olou all over again.

"Tch, whatever brat. If you want to get eaten by titans, be my guest," I said, my fingers twitching near the handles of my blades.

The woman's eyes widened a fraction before a small smirk came over her delicate lips. Had I said something amusing? Unlikely, but there was no telling really. Before I knew it the woman had spun in the titan's direction and had shot a volley of arrows into its eyes.

"The hell?!" I exclaimed.

"Shut up and slay that damned thing!" she ordered, her crystal eyes piercing into my own grey-blue orbs.

I clicked my tongue once more before I launched into the air and spun down onto the titan's nape, effectively killing it. Flicking my wrists, I cleaned my blades of the disgusting blood. Just as the last drop evaporated off my hand, the woman came up and picked up a few of her arrows.

"Nice job," she said, "Though you know it was you it smelled. Not me."

I glared at the woman. My mind still placed her as the menace, but there wasn't enough evidence to place her as such. Faye smiled at me as she turned to leave, her right hand lifted above her head in a form of a wave.

"See ya 'round," she called out before she ran off further into the forest.

"It'll be sooner than you think," I thought as I launched myself up onto a branch and proceeded to follow her by leaping from branch to branch.

The chase soon ended when she climbed up into a hidden treehouse, high up in the trees. Curious and to how she lived, I leapt over to her house and peered in. What met my eyes was the woman's red hair swaying from side to side as she worked on preparing her meal.

"You coming in or are you going to stand out there like the stalker your acting like?" her voice called out to me.

"How do you do that?" I asked her as I leaned against her doorway, my arms crossed over my chest and my eyes glaring at her back.

"I sensed your gaze," she stated, turning to look at me with a kind smile, "So why did you follow me?"

I didn't answer her. Instead I countered her question with one of my own.

"How do you mask your scent from the titans?"

Her movements stopped and she turned to face me completely. A look of amusement and dread was written clearly on her face.

"You're not going to like it," she said, gesturing me to follow her outside.

As she walked by me I could smell her as clearly as a rose. She smelled of berries and a cool summer's river. But how did she get that type of scent? To find out I decided to follow her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WSDJ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I am not doing that," I growled, wrinkling my nose at the pile of dirt and pine needles Faye had directed me to rub all over myself.

"Oh, don't be such a baby about it," Faye sighed, "Look at it this way, if you do so you won't be bothered by titans while you're here."

I sighed and reluctantly did as she told me, I didn't want to slay anymore titans at the moment. As soon as that task was complete both of us returned to her home where she finished up her meal, which ended up being big enough for two people.

"I knew you were following me so I made enough for you as well," Faye explained as she set a bowl of stew down in front of me.

I stared at the bowl, hesitant to take any bite from the stew. Apparently Faye had seen my skepticism and began to laugh a little.

"It's not poisoned," she said taking a bite of her own.

"You eat like this every day?" I asked her, my eyes still gauging the stew.

"Yeah. It has its flaws, but it is a way of surviving."

"Why don't you live in the walls?" I asked, intent on learning more about this woman.

"Because, I'm more free out here than anyone in there," she sighed, "They're all just cattle. Being fed till they're ready to go to pasture."

I stared at the woman, taking in her words. She had an interesting view of life within the walls. I suppose that is what had made me act differently.

"Come with me," I said, unable to stop the words before they spilled from my lips, "Come live in a section of the walls that is much like this area."

"I," Faye said quietly, "I can't. I just can't."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WSDJ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Faye's POV*

"I-I can't. I just can't," I told the soldier quietly.

Levi nodded and stood up, "At least think about it."

I watched him as he started to walk towards my doorway. He wanted me to go with him inside the walls. My crystal orbs darted towards my hidden gear, causing a small smirk to form on my lips.

"Perhaps one day I will run into you inside the walls," I said.

"Perhaps," he agreed, pausing in his steps to face me, "Should you ever find your way into the walls, ask for the directions to the scout headquarters. It is there that I will be."

I nodded and watched him leave. After waiting three hours, I packed up my clothes and donned my gear. I had enough hides and meats to sell once I was inside the walls that I knew I would have enough to rent out a room for a few days. I grabbed all my meats and hides and sped towards the walls.

Once inside I ducked in an alley and changed into civilian clothes, hiding my gear under my satchel and hides in the wagon I had acquired. With a smile on my face I began to sell some of my hides and all of my meats. Within an hour I had enough for a room, in fact I had enough to rent a house for at least a few days. Deciding to do so, I set out to find a decent home for myself.

Two days had passed since I had gotten my own, temporary, home within the walls and I had yet to surface as the 'cloaked menace'. My life had been going fairly well, though I did miss living in the forest. I had so much more freedom out there, even with the titans running amok.

"I guess I could always go and cause a little bit of a ruckus," I thought with a smile.

As quickly as I could, I donned my black uniform and strapped on my gear before tying my hair back in a braid. I walked towards my bedroom balcony as I threw on my veiled cloak. Today was going to be fun. Now all I had to do was figure out how to mess with the military. Shooting off into the air, my eyes scanned the streets below for any sign of soldiers. More specifically, scouts.

"Come on. Where are you?" I asked under my breath as I soared from roof to roof.

Just as I was about to land on a bell tower to get a better look, the sound of 3D gear reached my ears behind me. Taking a chance, I looked over my shoulder and saw none other than the broody man himself.

"Couldn't get enough of me could ya?" I asked as I spun around to face him with a hidden smirk.

"As if," he growled, shooting towards me.

I shot further into the air and spun behind him before taking off in the opposite direction. I was not giving up without a good chase. After a few good minutes, I eventually lost him and took to hiding in the shadows in an empty warehouse.

"That was close," I sighed.

"I know you're in here brat," Levi's voice called out, "Come out now and no harm will come to you!"

I rolled my eyes at him. My feet silently and carefully inching me to the edge of the shadow, allowing me to see my pursuer clearly. He was very handsome with his black hair and lean body. I could clearly see the tight muscles of his abs through his shirt.

Wait. When did I start checking him out? I shook my head of the thoughts and slinked back into the shadows. Only I bumped right into something that felt like a brick wall.

"Found you," his deep voice purred as he latched onto my arm.

"Let me go!" I screamed, trying to tug myself out of his hold.

"I don't think so. You're coming with me, brat"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Then give me a name!"

"I don't have one!" I yelled out at him.

Levi glared at me as he dragged me outside and towards a squad of scouts. Among them was none other than Commander Eyebrows.

"Well, Eyebrows, didn't expect to see you this soon," I smirked.

"Nor I you," Eyebrows said through gritted teeth, "Veiled Blades."

I paused for a moment. Had the Commander just given my alias a name? Veiled Blades. It suited me in the best possible way.

"Veiled Blades, huh? I like it," I smiled.

"Levi, take her to headquarters and have her ready for questioning. We'll soon get to the bottom of who she is," Eyebrows ordered before he left.

UGH! I just finished watching season one of AoT and i about screamed at the screen of my laptop. Like, what?! WHAT?! Why?! WHY LEAVE IT LIKE THAT?!
