Chapter Six

*Faye's POV*

A couple of days had passed since the ordeal with commander Ego and so far he had backed off. Practically every member of the corps had backed me up and had told the commander that even though they did want to know who I was, they would wait till I was ready to tell them. Apparently Erwin didn't like it, but had obliged to their demands to back off.

"They really told him off?" I asked Hanji as she walked into the kitchen where I was backing a treat for the soldiers.

"Uh huh," she nodded, "They said they trust you enough to know you will reveal yourself in time."

"Huh, guess that will be a pain to shake if I ever return home," I sighed.

"Listen, I know you want to hide yourself from Shorty," Hanji started.

"But you think I should tell him," I finished with a smile.

The scientist nodded sheepishly, almost like she was a child that did something wrong. Wait a minute, had she done something?

"Hanji," I said, "What did you do?"

"Ikindatoldhimyouwantedtotellhimsomething," Hanji blurted out faster than I could comprehend.

"Hanji, slow down. What did you do?"

"I might have told him you had something to tell him," she squeaked.

"What?!"

"You have to tell him sooner or later. He already has his suspicions that it is you, but you have to tell him yourself."

I sighed and leaned against the counter after I had removed the treats from the oven. She had a point. He was already on my tail, mostly due to my slip ups. The brunette stared at me, most likely expecting me to blow up at her.

"Your right," I said, "He's getting close to revealing me as myself and I just feel like I need to come clean before then. Guess Eyebrows wins this time."

"What has he won?" asked Levi's voice.

I jumped and looked at the doorway of the kitchen. Corporal Broody was there leaning against the doorframe. I felt my face warm up at the very sight of him. He was shirtless and had on a pair of sweats. A towel laid across his shoulder. It was like staring at a god.

"Geez shorty, put on a shirt," Hanji sighed, a teasing tone lacing her words, "Can't you see your giving the lady heart troubles?"

Levi rolled his eyes at the brunette and I just tore my gaze away from his perfectly chiseled body.

'Get a hold of yourself Faye!' I chided myself.

"What did you want?" Levi asked, leveling his gaze on me.

"I, uh, wanted to, um," I stuttered.

"Spit it out brat," Levi sighed.

"Uh, well," I started, my fingers playing with the hem of my veil.

"Blades!" Eren's voice called out.

'Oh thank God!' I sighed.

"Eren?"

"The MP is here," Eren said once he entered the room, "They're demanding we hand you over to them. They're searching HQ for you right now."

"What?! Oh no, they're worse than Eyebrows," I groaned.

"We won't let anything happen to you Blades," Hanji said as she wrapped me in a hug.

"Speak for yourself," Levi sighed, "I still want to tear that veil off her head."

I smiled and ducked out of Hanji's hold, grabbing my hunting gear in the process.

"Meet me outside in ten," I said, looking at the three soldiers, "If they want me, they'll have to catch me."

"What are you planning?" Eren asked.

"To give them a bit of exercise."

I stood up on a nearby roof, concealed in a shadow as I had put my gear on once more. The MP were everywhere like rodents.

Levi, Eren, and Hanji walked out into my view causing a smirk to form on my face. Now was the time to act.

"Where is she?" a MP asked.

Levi just stared, no glared, at the man. Even from my spot on the roof that glare sent ice down my spine.

"What do you want with her?" Eren asked.

"She's wanted for conspiracy of working with the titans," the MP said.

"Oh please," I sighed aloud, enough to where my voice echoed off every structure, "Like I would ever help those mindless creatures. I bet you I have slain more of them than any of you."

"Show yourself!"

I moved out of the shadow and jumped onto a tree branch, smirking at the gasps that spread through the crowd of soldiers.

"Here I am. Now, if you want me, come get me," I said before I zipped off into the forest.

I stuck to the shadows and made sure to make as little noise possible. A few soldiers sailed past me noisily. I took my bow off my back and nocked an arrow that had a small ball on the head. With a small breath I released the arrow and watched as it hit a blonde MP in the head. A smirk formed on my lips when she slammed into another MP.

"Watch it Annie!" the hit MP shouted.

My smirk disappeared as my eyes widened. That was Annie. Annie, the one who will kill Petra, Gunter, Eld, and Oulo. The one who will take Eren. The one who is a shifter.

"The Female Titan," I gasped silently.

I moved to a different shadow and kept an eye out for the commanding officer. However, all I found was Eyebrows.

'He'll do,' I thought to myself as I zipped over to him.

"You want to know who I am," I said, "Then keep them from me and I will show you."

"Why the change of heart?"

"Because you need me. There is a titan out there that will stop at nothing to get Eren and put him on their side."

"A shifter?"

"Yes. They're fast and smart," I said, melding into the shadows as a military police officer sailed by, "They know the weakness of titans and protect theirs."

"You've seen it?!" Erwin gasped.

"Yes. Never engaged it for too long, but enough to get the information," I lied.

"Very useful. We could use you to help lure it out."

"All due respect sir, I would think Eren would do better at luring her out. He is what she's after. I would like to be assigned to help protect him."

"Her?" Erwin asked.

"A Female Titan."

"Alright. I will assign you the task of protecting Jager and will keep the MP away from you till the mission is over," Eyebrows said, "Agreed?"

"Agreed," I said holding out my hand.

"What?!" the commanding MP officer shouted at Erwin.

I was standing behind the commander, next to Levi, and was waiting on the MP to leave.

"You heard me," the commander said, "She will stay in our custody until the end of our next mission. If she survives it, she will be handed over to you."

"Fine," the MP sighed, "Let's move out!"

Annie walked past me, a bored look on her face. Now was my chance to get a reaction out of her.

"I know what you are," I said low enough for her to hear, "Female Titan."

Annie's eyes widened as she whirled around to gape at me. I just stood there, eyes glued on her twitching hands. In a flash she was in my face with a knife at my throat. A smirk spread across my face as I grabbed her wrist and twisted till she dropped the weapon. Once she did, she tried to knock me down and I let her do so. A wave of gasps resounded around us as I hit the ground.

"Not bad," I said a loud, "You fight almost like a titan."

Annie didn't say anything, instead she tried to kick me while I was down. Literally. I rolled out of the way and lept up to my feet. I just stayed in a relaxed position as the blonde charged at me.

"If you fight like that you might as well be like the beasts you fight," I stated grabbing her fist and twisting her unto her back, my fist near her face, "You need to learn how to fight like a human. Not a titan."

"Like you know how to fight like a human," a MP soldier yelled out as I went to help the blonde up, "You've lived with those beasts!"

I looked up to find the soldier and look them in the eye. Biggest mistake I made yet. As soon as I took my eyes off the blonde she had reached up and removed my veiled cloak. I quickly looked away from the soldiers and snatched my cloak back, using it to hide my face from the curious eyes.

"Well done Annie," the commanding MP smiled, "You've just revealed the true face of Veiled Blades. Now, girl, tell us your name."

I wrapped the cloak around me, covering my face in shadows, and glared at the officer. Obviously he could tell I was glaring at him as he visibly swallowed and tensed up.

"I had promised Erwin my name, not you," I growled, "In fact he earned the right to know my name as he didn't forcibly show my face to everyone. Unlike some cowards here."

"You dare speak…"

"Yes I do dare! I dare because I have been out there doing the same as the scouts! I have been slaying titans since I can remember! What have you done? Slay fake titans and hide within the inner wall? Pathetic."

"Blades," Levi warned, "Stand down."

"Shut up! No one but Hanji knows the truth of me and that is because she has shown me she isn't a coward. That she is worthy of knowing the truth. Unlike most of you," I snapped, directing my gaze to Annie, "I know what is to happen. Just like I knew what was going to happen to Eren's mother. I tried to change her fate and I failed. Now I'm here trying to change what's to come and all of you are trying to fight me like you do the beasts beyond these walls!"

"You know what's going to happen?" Erwin asked.

I nodded, my eyes on him now, "Yes. That is why I asked you what I did. If I'm not there something horrible will happen."

"Very well," Erwin nodded, "Levi, take Veiled Blades to my office. I will meet you there shortly."

Well, looks like Faye won't be able to hide from Levi much longer. Wonder what will happen in the next chapter. Just to let ya'll know the rating does fit this story because in one of the future chapters there is a scene worthy of the M rating. Please R&R and no flames please.
