This man that stood before her was like no one she had ever seen before. He sported a green cape with a strange picture that resembled wings. She wasn't sure to be scared or to be in awe. Amelié truly felt that she was in the presence of an angel.

"It's highly illegal for anyone to be outside the walls that isn't the survey corps. How did you get out here?" She was at a loss for words, who was this deity standing before her, and also, how could he fly?

"Corporal! There are more survivors, though they are severely wounded. How's it looking over there?"
"We have one bleeding and one who is verbally unresponsive, but other than dirty, she's fine.
Hey.. can you walk? Are your legs broken?" He asked.
She tried to respond, but couldn't speak out of shock and awe. He sighed and sheathed his blades.
"Here, I'll help you." Extending his hand out to her, Amelié froze again, and hesitantly reached for his arm. The sheer contact of her skin on his released an odd warmth throughout her body. His hand was soft, even with the grip he had. As he pulled her to her feet, her legs shook and wobbled like jelly before falling onto his chest. He let out and exasperated sigh and cradled her in his arms.
"I'm not carrying you all the way back." She just stared into his dark eyes. Her golden eyes staring straight into his lit a cold fire in his stomach, making him slightly uncomfortable, but he chalked it up to nearly being eaten.
Before long, she was on a cart with only a few of the people she had spent her life with. Four other adults with broken limbs, two crying children, and Roman, laying down next to her. Despite his bleeding bandaged head and incredibly sore body, he still managed to muster a smile while holding Amelié's hand. While being completely enamored with her, she couldn't help but think about the angel who saved her life. She could only see the back of him as he lead the group to an unknown destination.
The wings on his cape only solidified her belief in angels. She wasn't taught much in religion, all she heard of human like beings capable of flight. Even though she knew of such a thing to be fictional, she held on to some kind of hope that she would become of these beings.
After all, if giant humanoid monsters roamed the earth, wouldn't that prove that the man who rescued her is a living angel?
"What is troubling Miss Amelié?" a weak Roman murmured.
"Do you remember when my father told us about angels? Do you believe in them?"
"Ha.. indeed, I do."

As the sun set in the distance, they approached a very large wall made of stone. Amelié's head started to hurt slightly as she felt a slight pang of déjà vu. She had never seen this wall in her life, but yet it was familiar. They entered the walls and soon she was overwhelmed by the amount of homes and people gathered around to watch them come in. All she had known was her family, and the rest of the caravan. Her only friend was Roman. She began to feel nervous and it started to show as she cowered behind the cart wall. It seemed to last forever until she no longer felt the motion beneath her. Slowly, the injured went first, then the children. Levi once again extended his arm to help Amelié out. Though her insides went giddy, she was still very apprehensive on making contact with him. Because she held him in such regard already, she felt unworthy of accepting his assistance, but she wanted to be near him again. After all, he was the light in this entire situation. Her legs wobbled as she stepped foot onto the ground, which then collapsed under her weight.
"What are you, a lame horse now?" Levi unsympathetically asked. Roman frowned at him but kept his composure as he replied "Her legs might be asleep, she hadn't moved them in quite some time." Levi simply glared back at him. Amelié could almost see the electrical storm between them.
"Here Miss Amelié, let me carry you." He tried to walk forward on his own but two soldiers held him back and advised him not to do anything as he himself was in critical condition.
"Don't worry, Miss Amelié, everything will be alright." He said through a pained smile.

Roman's words echoed through her head as she sat inside a cell. On the other side of the gate was a small group of strange people dressed like the angel, and himself as well, though his cape was gone. She childishly wondered if that meant he took off his wings, and she smiled sheepishly.

"Let's start with why you were outside the walls in the first place. Or moreover, how were you outside to begin with?" A very tall man with blonde hair spoke to her. To Amelié, this man looked like a clean cut version of Roman, except the eyebrows were too serious, and he also looked too severe to be him.
"I honestly think this girl's broken. She hasn't attempted to speak not once." The 'angel' again coldly responded.
"The girl's probably in shock. She seemed pretty shook up when you brought her over."
"I'll say. She's been smiling rather stupidly for someone who just watched their entire family get eaten."
"I don't think you guys are trying hard enough. Hi, I'm Hanji, what's your name?" Said a girl looking incredibly excited. Amelié opened her mouth, and looked as if it was painful for her to speak, before finally uttering "A.. a.. Amelié.. b-b-b.. Bellerose."
"That's a pretty name. How old are you, Amelié?"
"16."
"And Amelié, how did you get outside the wall? These babies are fortified pretty heavily."
".. I didn't know these walls existed until today." With that answer, the room fell silent with a couple whispers.
"You mean you've lived in squalor your whole life? Outside in titan territory?" the tall man said again.
".. What is a titan?" and again, the room was silent. Levi however, unchanging his expression, leaned forward onto the gate and stared into her soul almost.
"That giant thing that ate your friends and family? That's a titan. They're monstrous beings and we don't know where they came from, and they're running rampant outside the walls. So how is it you've grown up living on the outside without once seeing these things stomping around or even hearing of them?" Him being close to her, even through the gate, instilled a lot of joy inside her, but in trying to keep her composure, responded calmly.
"I'm not sure. We did move around quite a bit, so it's possible that we were lucky in avoiding them." She smiled at Levi, admiring his stature. Though he was short in comparison to everyone else in the room, she knew that she was shorter than him.
"So I guess it's not entirely her fault for not even knowing the walls existed."
"Amelié, you said you moved around quite a bit. Does this mean you're familiar with those surrounding areas?" Said Hanji.
"I'm not an expert on them, but I do know my way around. I wasn't allowed to go very far without my family or the rest of them.." When she remembered her family, all that flashed through her mind was visions of her sister and her parents being swallowed up. She went quiet and her smile faded.

"We'll continue this discussion tomorrow. I believe Miss.. Bellerose will need some time to herself." The tall man motioned for everyone to vacate the area. Levi stepped off the gate and left quickly as with everybody. Hanji lingered for a split second and began to leave when she felt a tug on her sleeve.

"Miss Hanji.. I have a question.. Are you guys.. angels?"
Hanji smiled at her, and shook her head.
"No, but we seem like it to a lot of people.. so I guess, yeah. We kind of are."
