A/N: Well, here's chapter two! And ohmigosh! I'm so happy, I was added to a community. I'm so happy! Yay!
I have fun writing what Levi says. He really does have a dirty mouth, and he's conscious of it (which makes it even better). So here I am writing all these unnecessary swear words, but they're necessary for Levi. Levi needs them.

Year 835

The sun peeked over the horizon, and entered the windows. Bathing the empty beds in a fiery orange color that you can only compare to a sunrise. One bed was still occupied and it was never a surprise to find that in wasn't empty. Black hair rolled off the mattress in curly waves, almost touching the wooden floor below. The cabin door opened and soft footsteps padded across the floor. The occupant of the bed curled into a tight ball at the sound. "Get your ass out of bed. How many times do I have to fucking tell you?" Levi ripped the blanket off of Aurelie and threw it over his shoulder. The black haired woman glared at him from over her shoulder but sat up and sighed heavily. She was dressed in a large white shirt. The collar was slipping off her shoulders and the sleeves were way to long. There were worn marks on her shoulder from the 3DMG belts.

"Can I have five more minutes? After that I swear I'll get up." She flopped back onto her pillow and rubbed her eyes.

"You said that ten minutes ago. I was being lenient because you did a good job the last couple days. But enough is enough. Get your ass out of bed before I throw you out of the damn door how you are." He threatened, but he didn't raise his voice. She huffed and sat up again while throwing her legs over the edge of the bed. The shirt rode up her thighs, revealing even more marks from the straps.

"You wouldn't." She stretched and stood. Aurelie looked up at her captain with hazy eyes. Her caught her chin and leaned down.

"You're right. I wouldn't want those shitty brats outside to see you so exposed." She could feel his breath on her lips and it sent a shiver down her spine. Aurelie's face flushed and leaned forward, brushing her lips against his.

"Aurelie!" The golden eyed woman shot out of bed with a flushed face. Her sister looked oddly at her, "What's the matter? Do you have a fever? Your face is red."

"N-no its nothing. I'm fine." She ran a hand through her disheveled hair. Azurine gave her a half smile and put a hand on her hip.

"Well sis, you better hurry. The captain is on his way over and he's in a particularly foul mood today. He may send you out to fight the titans in nothing but your night shirt." The pale eyed girl chuckled at the glare she received, "I'm serious though. But I'll leave you to your devices." Azurine left, the cabin door clicked shut and sent Aurelie flying off the bed in a frenzy. She unfolded her pants, which she grabbed from the end of her bed, and almost fell over trying to pull them on. She flung off her night shirt and slipped on her button down. Aurelie was just starting to button it up when Levi walked in with an irritated grimace.

"Your just now getting dressed? What the fuck were you doing when I woke you up earlier?" He crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his foot against the floor in an agitated manner. She thought that if he were to have a tail, that it would be the one doing the tapping. Aurelie avoided looking at him, especially after that embarrassing dream she'd just had.

"Um, sleeping?" She shrugged her shoulders and finished buttoning up her shirt. She grabbed her turquoise ribbon and attempted to tie it around her neck. Her ribbon was her most prized possession. She's only been inside of Wall Sina once in her life and that was were she received it. Her captain gave it to her, and tied it in a bow around her neck. She didn't know where he got it, and even if she had asked, Levi wouldn't have told her.

"You're such a pain." He saw her struggling with the ribbon and snatched it out of her hands, "I'll do it. Its suppose to be in a bow, not a knot." Levi straightened her collar and tied the bow. He examined it for a moment, but decided he was content with it and left it alone. "We'll be leaving in twenty minutes. Make sure you've taken care of everything before we leave." He took a step back away from her and turned on his heel. Aurelie let the breath she'd been holding out and blushed excessively. "Aurelie." He said her name but didn't look at her.

"Yes sir?" Her blush toned down and she looked at his back.

"Don't die out there." He said simply, his shoulders tensed slightly.

"I'll try my best not to." She was confused, but she didn't think anything of it. He left her with that, but took one last look at her over his shoulder before he stepped out. Aurelie shrugged and grabbed her comb from night stand behind the headboard. She ran it threw her hair quickly, but not without cursing when ever she found a knot. Aurelie quickly braided it and worked on strapping on her belts. Once she finished making sure they were in place and tight she pulled on her boots and scouting jacket and flew out the door.

Aurelie hoped she wasn't late for breakfast, which she was. She entered the mess hall out of breath and sweating. Azurine waved her down and she collapsed next to her on the bench. Elias handed her a piece of bread, Bradan gave her a cup of water and Azurine gave her a bowl of semi-warm soup. She thanked them all and they shrugged. It was a daily happening. Despite Aurelie being the older sibling, Azurine was more responsible.

"Hey, are you trying something new with your ribbon?" Elias pointed out with his spoon. Aurelie shook her head and answered after she swallowed a mouth full of bread.

"Captain was annoyed with how it looked so he fixed it." She said, but didn't give her burly friend enough time to ask another question before she stuffed more food into her mouth. Aurelie finished up her food at the same time as the rest of her comrades and they left the mess hall together.


"Sis!" A hushed screeched echoed in her ears, Aurelie jolted awake and looked around. "Captain Levi was glaring at you. You know, you really shouldn't sleep on your horse. Its not that I'm worried that you'll fall off, I'm more worried that Levi is going to push you off." Azurine steered her horse away and maneuvered back into position. Aurelie rubbed her eyes and yawned. Right after breakfast, the brigade had saddled their horses and set of for the gate of Shingashina. But the ride over always bored her, so she mastered the technique of sleeping sitting up on her horse.

"Are we there yet?" The golden eyed woman asked, directing her question more towards Elias who was on her left side. Where as Azurine was on her right, Bradan was behind and Levi was in front next to Hange Zoe.

"Almost. See?" He pointed towards the wall towering above them. The soldiers slowly came to a stop and halted the horses. The stationary guard checked the wall for any close titans and while they waited, the soldiers ears we filled with nothing but harsh words.

"Another expedition?"

"There goes our taxes."

"What's the point of going?"

"Humanity is better off in the walls."

Aurelie closed her eyes and held her tongue. Her hands grabbed the reins tighter and her brows furrowed in anger. These people didn't understand. They never would. They were trying to help humanity. All the citizens saw though, were pointless deaths and raised taxes. It irritated her and that irritation didn't go unnoticed by her companions, who in turn also shared the same feelings. The Garrison gave the okay and Erwin shouted for them to open the gates. The higher it raised, the more tense Aurelie became. She hated the walls, and believed full well that one day, humanity would break free from its cage.

"Here we go." Azurine whispered. The horses lurched forward and raced out of the gate, into the unknown outside world. The green cloaks of the survey corps fluttered and flipped, making the brigade seem like one big wave. The survey corps spread out, taking their individual squads and pushing them across the landscape. Aurelie's squad along with Erwin and Hange were in the center guarding the wagons.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh. The movement of the horse beneath her was familiar. Through the hours of the beginning journey, there hadn't seemed to be much titan activity, there were very few flares and the messengers we often sent out came back. Saying that the brigade was intact. So far, it was a seemingly successful expedition. Aurelie relaxed considerably, the day went by smoothly and without incident. Come sunset they gathered in an abandoned village and set up camp. Guards were posted around the perimeter, they were tense and ready for battle.

Meanwhile Aurelie sat around a fire with the rest of her squad including Hange. "I was a little disappointed that we didn't see any action today." Hange said between bites of her rations. Azurine leaned in Bradan's side and Elias sat next to Aurelie, leaning back onto his hands. Levi was situated between Aurelie and Hange.

"Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that brain of your Hange. You're the only person I know that would ask for a titan to find us." Elias shook his head and laughed. It was a deep, rumbling laugh that starts from his stomach.

"I want to know everything there is to know about them. So its natural." Hange smiled and devoured the rest of her rations.

"Well, we should get some rest. We take the next look out." Elias unrolled his sleeping bag and plopped on top of it. Aurelie unrolled hers as well but laid it horizontal to him. She propped her head up on his stomach and clasped her hands together. "Why do you always lay on me?" Elias asked.

"Because, Azurine has Bradan and you're always really warm." Aurelie sighed and looked up to the sky, the stars were elegantly spread across the midnight blue blanket above.

"I guess its fine, as long as I'm of some use to you." He awkwardly patted the top of her head. She felt his breathing slow down and even out. He was asleep within the next five minutes. Aurelie looked over to see Azurine cuddled up into Bradan's back, Hange was stargazing as well and Levi had disappeared. She looked back up to the sky and watched the embers from the fire shoot up and burn out. There was no way Aurelie was going to sleep, she never slept the first night of an expedition. She just didn't feel safe.


A/N: Okay, so this one is longer (I don't know if you could tell that or not) But tell me what you thought! I love feedback!
