Four years later…

Peace time: 91 years

It's exactly a month until my birthday, which is also Christmas, and so far the only reason why I'm here is to be their housekeeper. Why else would they have let me join? Surely its not because of my height. They're all taller than I. Do they want me for the unspeakable things? Since my height is relatively close to that of a woman. I highly doubt it. I am one hundred percent male. They treat me like a trained animal. Like I would sit around following orders? Sneaking out with them is very easy to do. Hiding from them is easy. Yet not participating with them as I hide, now that is easier said than done. Do they want me for my intellect? It surely can't be because I'm a good fighter. How should I know how well I fight? I haven't been in one, save for arguing. I may be young now and could learn a few tricks. But I know that this is not what I want to do. Despite the fact that I told them that I prefer to do things the clean way. They just scoffed at me, like everyone else. It's been sometime, may be they'll let me join them for sure. To join them in their fight against something. It's been four years since I joined them, they ought to let me join in on the fun they're having. But what if they won't let me because I'm not as tall as they are? I don't want to-

"Hey Levi." Kenny Ackerman pulled me out of my thoughts.

"What?" my voice had denial in it. It announced that I had no interest for what he was going to ask me.

"Want to join us this time?"

They're letting me join? I can't believe it. Question is...are they just toying with me? "Why?"

"We're going somewhere, where we'll need your smallness."

"Tsk. Is that the only reason?" I asked as he came up to me.

Sure enough he was almost seven feet tall compared to my four feet eight inches.

"No; we need your intellect and brutality as well."

"Brutality and intellect? Hm. On what?" I almost laughed at 'brutality' like I've been in the field to know my own strength.

"You know very damn well what, don't play smarts on me." He sneered at me. "Do you want to come along or not?" he added.

"Yeah, I'll come...just don't make me do all the dirty work alone." I answered, hinting that I didn't want to do the dirty work.

The guy laughed at me. "Come on, have some fun. It's not fun. If you're not dirty."

"Oh it's fun being clean. You should try it sometime." My smart ass remark got rewarded with a slap that knocked me to the floor.

"You little brat, if it weren't for this mission we need you for. You would've been killed."

"I'd rather die by a titan than be killed by the likes of you." I tested him under my breath.

He bent down to give me another slap, but I rolled out of the way.

"You learn quick." He replied airily.

"I learn from the best."

I'm guessing he didn't want to keep arguing. He let it drop, since he knows that I'll just give a smart Alec remark. Instead he lent me his hand, however I ignored it and gave a "humph" as I got up.
