Previously on A Choice With One Regret:
When the day ended and we all went to bed I couldn't stop dreaming about it. Dreaming about Eren.
Dreaming about the titans.
Mizuki's POV
In this dream I was chained to a post, on a rooftop building. 3DMG was on my sides with full gas. Across from me was Armin on his knees and tears in his eyes. He muttered something I couldn't understand before a titan appeared. It had a long grey beard and a glazed expression of bloodlust. It reached out a massive hand a grabbed armin's jacket. He picked him and and opened it's mouth. I started tugging on the chains to help, I fired a piston at the titan but it didn't even notice.
Then Armin fell down into the titan's mouth.
I let out a scream of loss before taking in my surroundings. There were fires and smoke in some spots but what got my attention was a large smear of blood on the next building.
It was Eren.
I yanked on the chains, desperate to get to my brother but It was no use. Although just as I heard Armin scream my little brother's name Eren stood up on one foot. He launched the 3DMG to the titan and went into it's mouth. What was he thinking?
But then a blonde bob of hair came into view. Armin was safe. But I could see Eren still stuck inside the mouth talking. Stop talk and get out of there! He reached out his hand and once Armin came to his sences the jaw snapped shut. Eren's left arm fell to the ground.
The chains held me securely in place as I screamed bloody murder. I viciously attacked the chains, animalisticly trying to free myself but it was gone.
Eren was gone...
I felt the vision go dark but I still forced myself to save Eren even though there were no more chains. I kicked and clawed at the wall until I felt two strong hands taking my wrists to stop my movement. I cautiously opened my eyes to see Levi with his face split in half between annoyance and worry.
"I-Im sorry Levi..." I stuttered. The gory images still flashing through my mind.
He sighed "It's ok, just remember that none of it is real" (I'm so mean xD)
"Ok...I mean...It looked so realistic"
"What was it about?" I looked at him with curiosity. Levi usually never showed any signs of compassion so maybe this was a first time thing?
"My brother...he was eaten by a titan...I couldn't do anything..." I held my head in my arms trying to comfort myself before I felt a warm hand on my knee. It was Levi.
He didn't say anything, just stared at me with those eyes of his. Some think of his eyes as black and soulless, cold and unfeeling.
They're right.
But sometimes they show other things...his bravery, skill, and care for me, Isabel, and Farlan reflects in those eyes of his. I was lost in them. My breathing slowed to a normal pace and the lingering tears in my eyes dried. It was like his presence alone was enough for me to get a hold of myself.
For a while we just sat there like that, unsure of what to do or say next. Thinking back to my dream I wondered if it really could happen. Could my brother really be killed? No, no I can't let that happen. I may not be as strong as Levi or as smart as Armin or as brave as Eren but I would die before any of those closest to me left.
"Levi? Can you promise me something?" I sounded like a small child.
He nodded, "Promise me that you won't die, promise me you will try to keep Isabel and Farlan alive"
"I can't promise that Mizuki. But I can promise that I will always try" He lift his hand from my knee and stood up to leave.
"Goodnight Levi, thank you for helping me calm down"
"Yeah, goodnight Mizuki" And with that he closed the door and went back to his room.
After that experience I ended up loosing my recurring nightmares. Now I'm dreaming about weird random things, the normal dreams. My cut seemed to fade away from existence in a week's time so later that evening Levi tought me the move he was going to show me.
(The move is the one Levi uses to escape the survey corps in the OVA)
It made me feel like an expert. True I was honestly advanced, being taught by Levi and all but I think that if soldiers are all as skilled as the Military Police then we are royally fucked if the titans break the wall.
But one day I was proven wrong.
We just finished a raid and were walking back 'home' when we were stopped by a rich guy in robes.
Isabel spoke up first like always "Whats the deal old man? You want something?"
"I've come for a job request" Was this guy serious?
"Didn't you get the wrong house? This is not a handyman shop" Farlan almost took the words out of my mouth.
"I promise you a reward"
"Go home!" Levi ordered. I can't blame him, working with nobles is an easy way to get caught.
"I've already paid the deposit though" We stopped in the stairway. What was this noble talking about?
"You're kidding right? This is the first time we've seen you" Farlan countered.
"Thats true. But you should already know...about him" He turned to his carriage, a man was being carried into the sleek looking car. Oh shit...
"Jan!" I called.
"His leg is already at his limit. He needs to get treatment at a hospital on the surface. Isn't that right? Levi-kun?" I knew about the legs. Strange as it may sound, the longer you stay underground your legs start to go ill. You need sunlight to help them regain strength.
"Whats the meaning of this?" Farlan questioned.
"I told you didn't I? It's a deposit for the job. You'll listen to details now right?" Damn it...
"Fine then" Levi conceded.
We were walking up the stairway to above ground. The old man paid our way up but It really didn't mean much, without a citizenship we would be back down to the surface in a heartbeat.
Eventually once we got a bit farther up I could see an opening of blue-ish glow. Holy shit the sky! It had been so long sense I was exposed to such light that I had to shield my eyes from the glare.
When we stepped into the last staircase we saw a large carriage with golden decorations blocking full view of the heavenly sight.
A man from inside the carriage spoke in a low voice, almost hard to hear "Are these the guys?"
"Yes, I've heard they're excellent" Ok answers please!
"Who the hell are you?" Levi asked.
"It's understandable that you're wary of me. But you'll learn it's ok to trust me" No way dude, there are very few people we trust other then the group.
"How could we?" I yelled up to the man.
"The fact that I'm here says everything. I'm at great risk just being here" Oh poor poor little rich guy "Have you received the deposit already?"
"I don't know how things work on top. But in our world it's called taking a hostage" Levi snapped.
"That's just a contingency plan we laid in place. When you have successfully completed the job, you won't only be getting a large sum of money..."
"But also, citizenship on the surface" I gasped. I could go back home...
"What do you want?" Levi was tense, he definitively knew the weight of what he promised us.
"The Survey Corps will likely come after you. Be sure to put up a little resistance" The survey corps? Why would they want us?
"There are two things i'll have you do for me...First, you'll obtain a certain document which is in the possession of Erwin Smith" I remembered that name vaguely, he was in the front of the group when they set out on missions.
"And secondly, to kill the Survey Corps' squad leader Erwin Smith. Those are your jobs" We were going to assassinate someone? Sure I was forced to kill a guy who tried to kill me on more then one occasion but that was technically in self-defense.
We nodded and Levi told us it was time to go back down. But we were stopped once more by the man's voice.
"I'll tell you this one thing...Regardless of whether you accept this job or not, the target will still make contact. In other words, you can't remain unrelated in this matter"
I heard the satisfying click of the maneuver gear when I strapped it onto my body. The gas was full and the gear was functional. I grabbed the knife I carried with me in case of emergency and slid it into place. I was wearing my normal attire of a black t-shirt with a grey vest. My necklace dangled on the chain, giving me a look at the detailed wing.
Farlan checked to make sure nothing was missed before giving the confirmation "Levi, everything's ready"
I opened the door and we all walked out of the room. The worn out walls and floors of the ever present as we all walked faster then normal to catch up with Levi.
"We've got confirmation on Jan. hes in a first rate hospital" At least he was safe. Jan was always desperate to keep his humanity even in these circumstances so I fully respect that man.
"The identity of that man is also confirmed. This job is the real thing!" Farlan added.
"We gonna do it Levi?" I asked. he just looked dead ahead at the route we take.
"Bro?" Isabel voiced from my right.
"Carry on as normal. But if, they appear just like he said they would...We'll start the job" he finished just as we jumped the wall.
~End of Chapter 6~
I'm glad I got this far! We're getting to the exiting parts so get exited! I found out that Shiganshina falls about a week after Levi joins survey corps...who knew?
I have a question for all of you! What do you like better? LevixMikasa or LevixPetra? I'm curious to see! And if you don't ship either then just don't answer I suppose
Fun Fact: Did you know that Isabel acts almost exactly like Eren? Even Levi says that Eren reminded him of someone. #TheoriesIntensifies
Please Review! Please answer my question!
