Hello my fellow Anime friends! I am glad to present to you chapter 4 and because I did not get any OCC characters I didn't write a lot but, I will be accepting all OCC characters throughout the series. So if you wanted to submit one and didn't get the chance to well I will be accepting them all the time now. I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter and I want to thank Pinkyderek, kivelasco1, haipa-chan, and Llamachickenpie.

The sun shined down upon the bright and lively human colony. Children played in the streets, people talked, and laughed happily together. They all acted as if nothing ever happened to Wall Maria, continuing on with their lives. A cat dug silently in garbage cans in dark alleys the only thing that could be seen is their glowing eyes. Horses neighed softly as people tended to them.

"I don't have a good feeling about this. Not at all." Alice murdered to herself as she tightened the girth tightening the saddle on her reddish horse. She whispered even softer, "I feel like he just wants us dead." Sighing she stopped her thinking and patted the horse on the neck receiving a small snort from the beautiful creature.

"Did you just say something Alice?" Hanji appeared out of nowhere behind her causing the golden eyed woman to jump.

"No I'm just talking to myself." She sighed once more before mounting having a small difficulty swinging her right leg over the horses ass and onto the other side. The brown haired woman did the same thing she was smiling her glasses gleaming in the sunlight.

"About what? Come on you can tell me!" Hanji persisted.

"Well...uh never mind it's not important at all." Alice squeezed the side of her horse signaling him to move forward and she did so. I'm not sure I'll be able to do this. I only have one eye. Is it even possible for me to try? The small group of about 10 soldiers slipped out of wall Rose and into one of the sub districts that had been over run. Hanji stayed on Alice's left side, being her left eye for her friend. When they entered the small district it was empty nothing was to be seen, for the moment. Houses were crumbled and windows were in pieces. The clouds told stories causing the blue sky to smile down upon the soldiers. In the distance, loud thudding noises that got louder and louder with every second.

"10-meter class heading this way!" It wasn't long after that, that the large humanoid creature made its way here. Everyone instantly switched to their maneuver gear taking action against the creature. The herd of horses kept going and found a safe spot for themselves. Alice was a little slower the creature had come up on her blind side but she had heard it coming. Noticing Alice moving slower, Levi stayed next to her and helped her. The Titan was taken out quickly by Hanji not long after they were surrounded by Titans off all different classes. Every one who was on this small squad was able to hold their ground easily but, one seemed to be doing very poorly but, she stood her ground slightly unwavering from her positions trying her best to dodge and try to land an attack with half of the sight of others. It worked for a while but once she started getting a little cocky it all came rumbling down.

"Alice watch out!" Hanji screamed as the titan she was fighting thrashed his arm around in the small girls direction. The outstretched arm hit Alice sending her flying backwards into a destroyed house. A scream erupted from her throat as she caused the buildings wall to collapse on top of her. Hanji immediately took out the Titan she was up against and quickly reacted moving over to her. Levi was close in pursuit. Out of the rubble Alice moved parts of the house off of her standing up slowly, blood running down her chin as if she were drooling and blood started running down her face from the top of her head. Clothes were shredded and cuts were scattered about her small frame. She wasn't standing very long before her knees buckled and gave out from underneath her. Finally pain shot through her body but she resisted the urge to scream, instead she fought herself and stood back up by the time she had down that her two friends were by her side and she gave out succumbing to the darkness that greeted her, Levi catching her. It wasn't very long after that, that Commander Irvin ordered a retreat and the fell back behind the wall. Not many had been injured worst that had come out was one death out of all 10 of the soldiers that went. As the day went on the smiling sun turned dark and gloomy the sky lost its whimsical effect as its lullaby turned into a sweet nightmare full of terrors and monsters.

Alone in one room Levi sat next to the bedside of his old friend his commander standing firmly next to him. Both eyes were on the unconscious girl.

"I told you she wasn't ready." Levi whispered silently not caring if a reply was to be given.

"I knew you were and that's all I really needed to know. I gave you your end of the deal so you should be happy now." Irvin looked over at the short man who's gaze had shifted from Alice to him.

"You should have taken her out when I first requested. She would have gotten better training and if that happened she wouldn't be like this right now. If she had gotten that year and a half I had she would have been prepared." After that the room went silent for a few minutes. The eeriness of the silence calmed the small man down.

"Well I will see you at the dinner hall." With that Irvin left the room and closed the door with a soft thud. Levi collapsed into a chair by the bed and poked Alice in the cheek.

"I know your awake and heard the whole conversation so get up." As he said that the girl rose from her sleeping position and rubbed her cheek felling Levi's soft blue eyes watching her every move.

"Ow you poke hard."

"I also poked a bruise." He said before the atmosphere seemed to shift as his gaze hardened and she spoke.

"What did you mean by deal? I'm guessing I'm also part of it, wasn't I?" His head slowly nodded before he started speaking.

"We made a deal but its nothing you need to worry about but, you were apart of it. That's why your here." His blue eyes flashed as he watched her touch her head and retaliate once she felt a sharp pain. Alice's head was wrapped in bandages blood soaked part of it while she was redressed in a hospital looking gown. "You shouldn't try pushing yourself. You've been out for a while and I'm gonna have to talk to Irvin about your arrangements. I can't keep allowing you to get hurt like that...I..."He was cut off as Alice started speaking her voice smooth and confident.

"Ill be fine I just need to get used to this." She motioned to her eye, "Once I get the hang of it I should be good."

"I know but I still worry. You the only one I have left to count on so...don't die on me okay?" Alice smiled and nodded.

"Alright. I promise." She held out her pinky slightly blushing on her face and Levi sighed looking away before he took her pinkie in his.

"Ill keep your word on that." He said before backing out of their pinkie swear, shoving his hands in his pockets and crossing his legs. The thunder and lightning kept going on outside. Telling stories of the unknown and showing what beauty can be created out of the simplest of things and how the ugliest of things still have a beauty that very few know of. Only the ones that understood could see what this storm was telling a story of. Even with all of the rain and storm ahead every once in a while a little ray of hope that the sun will continue to shine will appear. Winds howled the names of the forgotten. The two soldier in the hospital room sat and talked to each other finding comfort in each others company. Smiles were on their faces as the talked as night emerged from the shaking storms.

"I think it's time for me to go but I'll visit you tomorrow." Levi said getting up and stretching his muscles out.

"Why...why don't you just stay here with me. I mean it is pretty late and I'm pretty sure it's a long walk from your place here so just stay...it will make things...easier." She stuttered slightly trying to find the right words. He rolled his eyes before walking slowly back over to the bed and sitting on the edge.

"Ill stay for a little but that's it and my place isn't that far its only a few minutes away so you shouldn't worry about me." Levi mumbled as he watched her get ready for bed she laid down and tugged on his jacket trying to tell him to lay down and he did so. It didn't take to long once the lights were out for Alice to fall asleep. Once she was asleep Levi soon found himself surrendering to the sleep that was tugging at him and fell asleep.

Thank you guys for reading this chapter. I know this chapter was kinda small and didn't go as I planned but I promise the next one will get better and because I was not able to make it long I had a little Levi x OCC moment or two in this chapter. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter and review, favorite, and follow!
