Chapter two, on the same day, what?! Hope you enjoy it :P
Anyhoo, please review!

Who Am I?!
Levi sprinted back towards the kitchen. As he entered, the occupants stood, surprised at his sudden reappearance, without any of the cleaning equipment they had been expecting to see. "There is a mad woman running about, she has black hair and is wearing a long green skirt. Go find her." Ordered Levi. A few of the scouts saluted before going on there way, others just straight up bolted to escape the wrathful look that had taken over Heichou's usual steel grey, deep set eyes.
The short man left with the intention of cleaning up before returning to find that wild thing.
"Hello."
I could feel myself fade in and out of consciousness.
"Hello?" Said the person again, this time pushing glasses up the bridge of their nose.
"He-llo" I strangled out. I tried sitting up and then proceeded to collapse again. "Where am I?"
"You're in the infirmary. You hit your head and so I had to treat you." The person took a slow breath, seeming to try and calm down a bit. "There are people running around outside, looking for someone of your description. Thankfully nobody would suspect I'd be harbouring you."
The room smelt like rubbing alcohol, doctors surgeries and burning.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You know who I am, silly. You said my name before you collapsed."
"I don't know who you are," I pressed "Where am I? Why is there a bandage on my head?"
"The easiest way to sort all of this out is if you tell me your name."
"Umm, I - I..
...I can't remember my own name?"
"Well that isn't useful." The person moved around the bed a bit, doing something, which I could not see. "Rest for now and we'll see what happens, I think you might have given yourself amnesia from your head banging stunt."
My eyes finally started to flutter closed, when I heard loud banging on the infirmary door.
"Oi, shitty glasses, open the door."
"Ask nicely, and we'll see where that gets you."
"Hah hah, yeah right, if you don't unlock it I'll break it down." I recognised that voice, but where from?
"I doubt you could do that Levi, these are big mahogany doors, you might be 'humanity's strongest soldier', but you're still a small-"
*CRASH*
The loud sounds did nothing to help my head ache, they just aggravated it further.
"I knew you'd be harbouring that brat."
I could hear another person approaching, but they were much quieter than the little tornado in the room.
"Erwin! Levi broke down my door!" I determined that this was said by the one with glasses.
"What is going on in here?" A new voice. Erwin I guessed.
"Shitty glasses here has been hiding this piece of trash. Why is she in here?"
"Well what did the girl do?" Asked Hange, entirely confused but enjoying the situation none the less.
"This brat was hiding in the supply closet, and when I went to there she jumps me and sprays me with bleach, then talks like some crazy person."
"Hah humanity's greatest taken down by this girl, with a bleach bottle." I could feel someone patting my head.
The gruff new voice I had established to be 'Erwin' began to talk. "How did she end up needing medical care?"
'Yeah, how?' I thought to myself
"I found her in a hallway, bashing her head against a wall, she then turned to me, said my name and passed out. Mad right?!" I opened my eyes slightly to witness a maniacal smile grace Hange's face. I was more confused than before.
"Who is she?" Asked Levi.
"See that's the best bit!" Said Hange. "She doesn't even know! She gave herself amnesia."
"What kind of idiot hits their head that hard that they can't remember anything?" I watched the short one turn to the tall one. "What should we do with her?"
"Seeing as you were the only one to encounter her prior to her memory loss, she will be entrusted to your care, take care of her until she regains her memory, then we will see how to proceed. Hange, how long do you think her amnesia will last?"
"I'm sorry but I can't say, anything from 5 seconds to 5 years to never." Hange giggled.
"So I'm going to be stuck with this shitty brat?"
"Yes" Replied Erwin.
"Where did she come from?" Inquired Hange.
"A cupboard." Said Levi bluntly.
"We'll find out when she gets her memories back, watch out for her." Erwin, was obviously in charge, everything from his posture, to his voice, to his appearance screamed 'I will lead you into glory'.
"Am I allowed to get up yet? I don't feel as dizzy anymore." I said slowly. Hange helped me sit up, and finally I could see everyone clearly.
"Hello." I said tentatively. "Please could you tell me where we are, who you are and just anything please? I'm a bit confused."
"You're currently in a base run by the survey corps." Said Levi.
"What is the survey corps?" Levi gave me an exasperated look, and turned to Erwin.
Erwin proceeded to explain. "We live within a series of walls," I nodded quickly eager for him to continue. "These walls protect us from Titans, giant humanoid creatures, that are anything but human. They eat humans."
I frowned taking all the information in. This world seemed bleak.
"We the survey corps, devote our lives to exploring the outside world and destroying the Titans, in order to win back what was lost. I, Erwin Smith, am head of the survey corps. This here," Erwin turned towards Levi, "is corporal Levi, in charge of a special division of soldiers, only the most skilled fighters." Finally he turned to Hange.
"And that is Hange, she treated me when I banged my head." I said this with conviction, smiling slightly.
"Head butting a wall is different to banging it. Also, thought she had amnesia." Said Levi leaning against a desk.
"I have ears you know. As well as a brain, I can somewhat work out what's going on." I focus my eyes on Levi. We scowl at one another.
"You two will get along just perfectly." Squeaked Hange, slapping my shoulder jovially.
"I think she'd get along better with you, shitty glasses, seeing as you're both bloody crazy."
"Anyway. Bed rest for now missy."
"Wait, my name. I think I remember it." I drawled slowly, uncertainly.
"Spit it out then." Said shorty.
"I think.. it's Willa - but I prefer to be called Will."
"Well, goodnight Will." I heard Erwin say as he exited the room now without a door. "I hope you recover soon."
"Thank you." I quickly speak out.
"Tch." That was Levi's goodbye, if you hadn't guessed.
"Nighty night Will, see you in the morning!" Said my crazy saviour.
"Goodnight Hange." I smiled slightly and before I knew it I was out like a light.
The next day went well. I was shaken awake at five a.m. (Such an ungodly hour) by the short and short tempered Levi.
"Ugh, hello again short stack."
"You dare say that again I'll punch you so hard you'll land into the middle of next week."
"Hah couldn't even punch me to the end of the week, weakling." I snickered.
"The only reason I haven't knocked you out yet is because I am under strict instruction not to."
"Why are you waking me up so early?" I grimaced at sunlight streaming in through the now open curtains.
"You talk too much."
For some reason this guy really got on my nerves, I so wanted to annoy him in return.
"You didn't answer the question."
"I have to show you the ropes, now shut up and get up."
"All right! All right! No need to get your knickers in a twist." I say, slowly swinging my legs over the edge of the bed, standing slowly and steadying myself. Leaning on Levi for support. He seemed pissed by that - good.
"The morning routine involves, changing, running laps, eating and any other morning chores assigned." Levi said in a no nonsense sorta way. As we slowly walked past a window, I could see a large amount of people running around. I felt out of breath just looking at them.
He kept speeding up his walking and leaving me dragging behind, so I had to hobble faster, which was getting me dizzy. And it wasn't easy to keep track of everything he said even if he did say it plainly. I was in information overload.
It didn't help that something was nagging me in my brain. A little voice that told me none of this was real. It was all really confusing when out of the blue..
I stopped mid stride. Levi didn't notice for a small amount of time, or maybe he did notice and didn't care that I was no longer following. I stared at his back intensely.
Finally he turned around and walked back towards me begrudgingly. By the time he got half of the way back I gave him a killer look.
{This isn't real. He can't be who he says he is.}
"Lookalike." I said quietly at first.
"What?" Asked the short stack.
"You!" I pointed a finger towards him accusingly. "Lookalike! You aren't the real Levi Ackerman!"
"Are you going mad again?"
"Yesterday, that's what I said right? You aren't the real Levi Ackerman. He isn't real."
"Shut up. I am real. So you're starting to remember things. Do you remember anything before yesterday?"
"I was... Cleaning my room, tea." I clutched my head. A pounding head ache worse than internal lightning was coursing through my spine. I stood straight. "Where are my scarves, I was wearing scarves?"
"What are you talking about?" Asked Levi, although his face looked as though he was totally uninterested. He turned me back around towards the direction of the infirmary. "I don't think Hange checked you out properly."
"NO."
Levi stopped. "What is it now?"
"Continue to show me around, I'm remembering things!" I beamed at Levi and he looked at me skeptically.
...
Finally we reached the cafeteria, and by that time all of the soldiers had finished their morning run and were eating food.
"Sasha!" I called out as I recognised the girl. I ran up to her, surprising Levi.
"Of course they know each other, makes sense." Muttered Levi sourly.
"Sasha! How are you? What's for breakfast today?" A grin engulfed my face.
She smiled back, mouthful. "Ders poridj, 'nd culd meat an' bred." It was hard to understand what she said at first due to the amount of food in her mouth. But my brain somehow managed to translate.
Levi thwacked the back of Sasha's head. "Don't talk with your mouth full. You spray food and saliva everywhere. Clean this up when you're done." Sasha pouted slightly, then shuffled up for me to sit down. I tucked in, the porridge was surprisingly palatable.
"Sasha, who is this girl?"
"I do not know sir, but she seems awfully nice, she likes food too!"
"You don't know her? How does she know you?"
Sasha shrugged noncommittally, "I don't know."
"Useless brat. Don't think I've forgotten about your punishment for yesterday. Clean the stables, run four laps outside and you and Connie can clear all the tables after dinner. Go now."
"But sir." Sasha looked emotionally broken at the thought of having to leave breakfast.
"Now."
Sasha somehow managed to drag herself away from the table, but quickly grabbed some bread rolls, stuffing them in her mouth.
Which Heichou then told her to return and spit out.
"How do you know Sasha?" He asked me.
"Dunno." I said, food in my mouth.
"What did I just say to Sasha about talking with your mouth full?"
"Don't do it, or something like that." I said looking at the table.
"Unruly brat." Levi thwacked my head so hard I ended up face first in porridge.
{tripping and falling face first into a mop head, a bleach bottle, my teddy?}
I slowly extracted my head from the bowl and turned to Levi, amusement in his eyes.
A death glare in my eyes.
I stood.
"You know, you're just 160cm of pure shit."
People around us stared. I could hear whispers of 'Who's that?' And 'What did she just say to Heichou?'
"Also for that matter where's my bottle of bleach. So I can burn your little face off."
Levi looked about ready to kill me."So you are remembering things."
"Yes short stack I am." I stepped closer towards him. "What the hell happened to 'I'm not allowed to hit you'"
Levi took another step closer, "I'm not allowed to knock you unconscious is what I said." His eyes spoke volumes. He was on fire.
I slowly wiped the porridge from my face and retracted my hand, throwing the sticky remnants at the annoying midget. Before he could even register what was going on I was holding him up by his cravat. "Don't you ever dare to hit me again." Before I could even blink I was on the floor, being held down.
"You're extremely fast, I'll give you that." Sneered the Levi.
"Bloody shorty." I struggled underneath him.
"They did give me the title of strongest soldier for a reason."
"Should have given you world's shortest."
"Stop mocking my height."
"How do you know I'm talking about height." I quip. That come back was below the belt, quite literally.
Sharp inhales could be heard from the occupants of the cafeteria.
Just then Erwin entered, papers in hand. "Levi, what are you doing to Will?"
