On top of the huge wall Petra stands alone in a group of other soldiers surrounding her. Feeling alone and betrayed and worried she watches as her team mates far below her take their way through town to the gate doors. "Don't do anything stupid."

Dot Pixis and Hannes stand in front of her waiting for the men to do what was needed to be done. Hearing the low mummers to each other she hears a few words 'death' being the main topic. Petra didn't want to think of anyone dying, that was her Squad down there, her team mates she worked with daily and the man she loved with all her heart ready to go against the titans that had taken numbers of highly trained friends from her. Not ready for them to take away their life's without her being able to stand by their side trying with all her might to protect them. Standing alone in Silence Petra gets her signal shooters ready as she hears the gate doors below her opening. With a deep sigh she walks to the other side of the gate where she could see the vast open area in front of her, no titans in sight. Petra posts up looking at the run down city below her. Broken down houses, piles of rubble everywhere. The titans that had taken over wall Maria were ruthless, All titans were. But looking at once such a beautiful land now crushed into almost flat with only a few tall buildings still holding up she remembers her battles down there.

The fights shes had with the titans her self. All the many she had killed, none of their bodies in sight. Maybe the other titans had eaten them? No that wasn't a possibility, Titans had eyes for nothing but humans. Where exactly did they go?

"Petra."

"Yes sir!" Petra takes her pose as Pixis stands before her. His eyes on her heavily.

"Be aware of whats going on down there. We can't afford to lose any of those people."

"Understood." Taking out her signal gun she rises it in the air and shoots off a dark green gas in the air telling the men below her that it were clear to go ahead. She watched in silence as she saw the group separate once they were on the other side of the gate.

"Please be careful" Whispering to herself she watches as Levis group disappears behind the thick trees that covered a small patch of land.

"I hate when the towns people gather around us as if we're heroes"

"We are the only heroes they have ever known"

"Heroes is such a vague word..."

"It's stupid, We lose more men than we have killed titans."

"You need to realize Levi that these people have no real clue what goes on out there. I think it's great that these people look up to us."

".. Until we come back with more wounded than alive."

Levi, Hanji and Erwin spoke casually as their horses galloped about in the streets leading the small squad behind them. The towns people crowding the sidewalks watching in awe, the kids eyes lit up with excitement. Levi could hear them speaking lowly to each other about how 'brave' they were for doing what needed to be done. But he knew the second they came back, missing anyone from the group, they would leer Levi and Erwin down saying that leaving the walls was unnecessary and that the two were just wasting the money and time from the people. Levi didn't understand it himself. The towns people wanted the titans to be gone, They knew how dangerous the job was, if they didn't have the balls enough to do it themselves, someone had to. That's why Levi had joined the Special Operations. He knew half the people giving him shit for what he was doing would have never tried.

Clicking his tongue with frustration he looks back at Eren who sat with his head down looking at his horse and nothing else, ignoring the glares and harsh words that he could hear whispered within the group of people around him. The word had gotten around that Eren was a human titan, He had helped these people more times than once. He was the reason they had the Rose wall back up. But no one could get past the fact that he was a titan. People still feared him, Hated him.

"Eren."

"ye.. yes?" Eren looked up at Levi. His face was pale, was he nervous of yet another tedious job of becoming his titan form to hold the female titan down if it came down to it?

"Get your mind off them, you're needed for this mission. Don't get all bitchy on us now."

"yes sir..."

Levi looks up at the tall wall in front of him knowing Petra was there probably watching as they got closer to the gate. Hanji clears her throat breaking Levis attention back to her. "Ready for this?" Hanji whispers.

"Of course. Don't ask stupid questions."

the reach the gate where Military police were posted. They sat in silence as the gate slowly rose, not sure if it was safe yet ready for any situation to take place at any given time. A loud boom was heard above them and the green smoke filled the air. "Let's go."

Erwin, Levi and Hanji lead Gunter, Mikasa and Eren to the west as Jean, Armin and Auruo and Erd went the other direction. His mind off of their group he followed Erwin into a thick set of trees. Erens house was in the center of town, they had planned to go in a circular direction since not all of it was covered by trees. Open area meant a disadvantage of their maneuver gear. As they continued through Hanji kept going on about wanting to capture more titans. Erwin annoyed by her constant talking rolled his eyes wanting nothing more than to her to shut up and keep the mission on mind. Deep within the trees Levi's mind ran in thought about coming home to see Petras smiling face, Her soft voice and kind heart. He wanted nothing but to have her in his arms again. He was a lot more worried about this mission for many reasons. It was a small squad to take for such a dangerous job. If they were to run into any titans it would be a pain in the ass to take them on with just six people. One titan he could take, two maybe, but more than that would be deadly to the entire group.

They continued forth, reaching a point where they could see the opening out of the forest area, Erens house in sight. Levi could hear Eren sigh in relief that they had made it this far without any trouble. As they approached the opening more they heard a loud crash of a tree not to far from them. "Shit..." Erwin sighed in frustration.

"I wonder how many there are."

"Hopefully just one."

Seconds after Gunter had said anything a Titan the size of the trees around them ran in front of their path. Levi's eyes widened as the monster ran at full sprint towards them. To their concern it wasn't a normal titan, The female titan had found them. Without a second thought Levi shot off his maneuver gear onto a tall tree as Hanji and Mikasa followed.

"Take Eren straight to his house, he's the only one with the key!" Levi yelled shooting himself forward before Erwin could reply.

Petra stood motionless as she watched the trees rustle, Knowing a titan was on their way. Without a thought she shot off her signal gun, The red gas flying high above her.

"shit!" she yelled more to herself. Right after she shot it off she realized that with the thick branches above them that they probably wouldn't see it. The sound of it was loud, but not loud enough to be heard that far. She got a terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. "what were they going to do!?"

She watched as the top of the trees continued to rustle forward towards the path she watched Erwins group go into, Worried sick she shot off yet another flare. "Petra.." Reiner stood next to her, He had a worried look on his face but not for the group but for the fact that Petra looked so scared.

"they cant see it!"

"Shut up Reiner!"

"PETRA!" she shot yet another flare off hoping maybe they would hear it knowing that it was impossible.

She watched desperately, wishing that she would see them exit the woods. Seconds later she watched a few horses in sight. She sighed in relief, maybe they had taken care of the titan before anything could happen, or maybe it didn't reach them before they could get away. She watched as the three people below made their way to the run down house. Petra knew there were more people in Levis group, She just thought maybe they were far behind, probably fighting the titan now. The worry feeling returned, She knew if they did face the titan, Levi would stay back to fight it. He had no self control around them, whatever he had his mind on would vanish quickly to the site of such a monster. Levi would fight no matter what was going on around him. He was a small ruthless man.

Petra watched as the three reached the house, Eren and Erwin ran inside the house diapering for a few moments. Eyes back on the forest as she heard a loud crash followed by a ear piercing scream. Only time she heard that was when they first encountered with the Female titan.

"FUCK!"

"This is bad."

"any second know a group of titans are going to make their way to them!"

"No! Levis down there, this cant happen!"

"they need to kill that bitch!" Reiner yelled.

"How the fuck does she keep showing up at the right place at the right time! Why does it always have to be her! Why is she always around!"

"Shes got to be one of us..." Reiner and Petra looked back at Pixis, his face expressionless like he knew exactly what was going to happen.

"There's only three of them down there! They all cant take so many titans!"

"Levis probably the one in charge of the fighting..." Pixis looked at Petra, Terrified of hearing the words she flinched and shot yet another red flare off.

"God dammit Petra they can't see it!"

"ERWIN WILL, HE'LL GO BACK TO FIGHT WITH THEM!" She was yelling, Horrified of the state that Levi could be in. She didn't want him to die. One titan was fine, but she knew if more were to hear the scream, they would make their way to the group. The three that stood safe above the walls witnessed trees all around the area where they heard the scream rustle frantically, some falling over. Petra tried to run to the ladder that lead back down to the ground, maybe she could find a horse and reach Levi before it got to hectic for them. Before she could get even a foot away from them Reiner had grabbed her arm stopping her.

"Petra! You wont be able to help them now!"

"I'm willing to risk my life! Let me go!"

"NO Petra! You're going to get yourself killed as well!" Petras heart sank at the lost words.

"As well!? Levi can take them, don't you dare already talk about them like they are already dead!"

"PETRA GET OVER IT! They're done for!" At that second they heard yet another loud scream. Petras head whirled around to the forest. The trees all around the same area were broken. She wanted to cry, she wanted to go down there and help them, She wanted Levi to come home tonight, She wanted to grow old with him, She wanted to have him in her arms where it was safe.

"Levi!" she screamed at the top of her lungs making everyone on top of the walls look in her direction. Everyone was in shock over what was going on below them, but the heart wrenching scream from Petra made their faces sink in. They all knew what was going on, they all knew no one was going to make it out of that. But they still attempted to hold on to some hope. They were all terrified but watching as Petra screamed her lovers name over and over again chocking on her tears was nothing less than heart breaking. The scene was a horrifying sight. They had all lost loved ones, they all knew exactly where she was coming from.

Petra was on her knees watching as Erwin and the other two made it back into the forest, She didn't care if they had gotten the information form Jagers basement. All she wanted was for them to save Levi. Her hands clutching at her shirt, her knees shaking under her, tears rolling down her face, she was short of breath, barely able to breathe. Her heart was aching causing her so much pain. "please please come home to me tonight!"

On top of the wall was quiet as Petra sat in despair. After a few minutes of silence she watched as a few people had left the forest again on their way to the gate doors. There were only five of them.

Listening to the soundtrack to Shingeki no Koyjin is the pure reason why I wrote this in the first place. The music kept me going as Cliche as that sounds. Made me more aware of the emotions of what I was writing. yeah just a side note! :3

short and sweet I suppose.
