I had the chapter done but I kept on forgetting to upload it O3O...yeah sorry...ANYWHO~ just wanted to let you guys know I'll be going to Glass City Con this weekend as Eren and Italy! Any of you guys going? Heh, anyways onto the next chapter! Reviewing and Favoriting is appreciated! ^-^

OC info:

I forgot to say this in the beginning but Catori is 19 years old just so you all know~

My head was clouded and my body was heavy. Everything was hazy. I had no idea where I was, but I could hear a muffled voice. At first it seemed distant, but then it started to get louder. Trying to move around I could feel that I was in a bed…and it smelled like-

My bed…am I in my bed?

As I started to move I couldn't hear the voice anymore. It went silent. I was starting to wake up but I was still too tired to open my eyes so after moving around a bit more I went still.

"I'm relieved…no…happy that you're alive."

Wait. I know that voice.

"You can be a real idiot sometimes, worrying a lot of people…."

That's Levi alright…thanks for calling me an idiot when I'm in my SLEEP…but then again you probably do that all the time don't ya'?

"..myself included-"

Wait what? Did he say he was worried about me? I must be more delusional that I thought….

"-but I guess that's just who you are and how you'll always be. You're going to be a thorn in my side for a while."

Wow…really sentimental Levi….calling me a pain while I'm lying pretty much exhausted in bed.

He then gave out a soft chuckle

Wait Levi chuckles?

I then heard him continue to say, "What I'm trying to say Catori….is I never thought anyone could grow on me like you did. A couple weeks ago you referred to me as your friend, like usual, and this time instead of making a remark of some sort…I was quiet…because…I thought nothing of it…you've made me soft Catori-"

OH. MY. GOSH. Is he seriously being sentimental here? Has he really gone soft?! Like is he going to be all nice to me and stop calling me a brat?! Is his whole attitude going to change-

"- and I swear if you can hear me right now and say what I've said to anyone I'll kill you."

Nope…his attitude's still there…

I then heard him stand up from his chair and then he RUFFLED MY HAIR…

Did he just ruffle my hair to be NICE?...holy crap I'm going to have a seizure right here.

"Don't change Catori. It's good to have you back."

I then heard him walk away from the bed and exit the room, making sure to quietly shut the door. As soon as he was gone I sat up…which was a bad decision because my head started to spin.

"Whoa…whoa," I said putting a hand to my head.

"Wait what time is it?"

Glancing over at the window I saw it was pitch black outside.

"Ok so it's in the middle of the night…and WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?"

I leaned back against my pillow letting out a sigh. I could feel most of my strength returning but I still felt a little wobbly, which was expected. I had to use A LOT of energy to pull that stunt off….but I had to; otherwise that boy would have died.

Sighing I said, "I should be back to normal by tomorrow, especially since I took a long nap…that should have helped."

But I had to think of the matter at hand: how am I going to explain how I survived?

Then again, evidently a boy somehow came out of a titan's body, but was the titan? I'm not all that sure since I was trying to stay away, so Roy wouldn't find me.

I need to know what went on…is the boy like me?...but that's impossible. Then again if he was the titan then he wouldn't be…

I was still very confused but I had no time to waste.

If this kid has anything to do with where I'm from, I have to help him…Well if he needs help that is…for all I know he could be on bed rest just like I am.

Taking in another breath I swung my feet over the bed. I wasn't so dizzy anymore so I took my chances with standing up. As I slowly got off the bed it took me a second to regain my balance but then I seemed to be fine.

"Alright, now…wait….how did I get in my night gown?"

Roy?...no Hanji…no it was probably Roy…..

"They must have sent him to bed…otherwise he still would have been here," I said stifling a laugh.

Walking over to the closet I threw on a shirt and a pair of shorts (even though many people, mainly Levi, didn't really like me wearing shorts since it wasn't "proper attire", and since it "distracted all the males", AND since all the girls wear everything way past the knees but, like I ever listened anyways).

Slowly opening the door I saw no one.

Thank God.

Making my way out of the room, I slowly shut the door and quietly made my way down the corridor.

Mostly everyone should be asleep…even though I'm not being searched for anymore or being put on lockdown in my own room, if they find me they're going to be asking me A LOT of questions...probably first "why am I out of bed?"…but then "how did you survive being eaten by a titan?"

Stopping in my tracks, I found what I was looking for.

Alright through the window we go. This way they are less likely to see me.

Opening the window I quickly slipped out and quietly shut it. Thankfully the ledge by this window was right was at the perfect angle for me to get onto the roof and some of the siding on the wall had some protruding bricks which gave me leverage. Stepping onto the one of the bricks I pulled myself onto the roof.

It didn't take me long to get to my desired destination: Levi's office. I was hoping Levi would be having a meeting with Erwin so I could possibly get some info on the Titan boy, but if not I'd have to look for my info elsewhere. Leaning forward, I went down just enough so my upper body was upside down and my lower body was still on the roof. I had to keep a tight hold on the edge of the roof to keep myself from falling. Peering into the window I saw Levi…was not in his office….

DANGIT! NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO ALL THEY WAY TO WHERE MY SISTER'S ROOM IS…

Her room's not that far. It's actually in the same building, but it's located more in the heart of the building versus the edge, where I could easily listen in from the outside window aaaand not have to sneak around on the inside….but ya know that's life for ya kids~. Pulling myself back up I decided the easiest was to make my way in would be on the first floor since that is the floor my sister's room is on. Otherwise, I would have to go down another 3 floors while trying to avoid random people wandering in the night….when they should be sleeping.

Alright now all I have to do is make my ways down back to my room since that is where the tree is, shimmy down it, and then make my way into the building without being seen…..piece of cake.

*****small time skip****

After a few minutes of carefully navigating my way through the hallway, I found myself at my sister's door. Quickly slipping inside the room was pitch black other than the moonlight that came through the window. Thankfully I was pretty good at seeing things in the dark. Walking over to her bed I gently shook her shoulder.

"Kiwi," I whispered trying to wake her up.

After a few more shakes she slowly sat up, opening her tired eyes.

"W-what?" She said groggily.

"Kiwi, it's me," I said gently rubbing her shoulder.

Blinking a few more times she realized it was me and pulled me into a hug.

"Catori!" she gasped out.

"How are you feeling? After Hanji checked you out she said that you were going to be ok. She said that everything seemed normal, which of course baffled them, but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! You could have died!" she said in a high whisper.

"Shhh! Kiwi not so loud! And I'm feeling fine. And yes I know, I know~. It was dangerous, but you and I both know that I was able to survive that and if I didn't that poor boy would not be alive today would he?"

"Yeah I know, but still you really scared me! I didn't know what to do…." She said tears welling up in her eyes.

"I know…I'm sorry, but there's no need to cry. You knew I was going to live after Marco told you the titan swallowed me and didn't like bite me in half or something like that. Right?"

"Yeah…but I mean I was still scared! I mean what if it didn't work?! What if you did-"

"Kiwi of course it would have worked. Why wouldn't it?"

"I don't know…." She whined.

"Listen. I don't want to stay out of my room for too long. I still have to figure every

thing out…Which is pretty much what I'm going tell them about how I survived. But I need to know about this Eren kid Kiwi. I mean what do you know about him? Is he one of us?"

"No…I don't think so. I mean he actually turned into a titan. And he killed other titans, but he doesn't seem to remember killing them. A lot of people saw him come out of the back of the titan's neck, so they're scared of him and think he's against us. But that's ridiculous! He sealed the wall and everything. He turned into a titan and put a huge boulder in front of the hole in the wall so no more titans could get in. How could he possibly be against us? I don't believe his is and neither does Hanji, Levi, or Erwin, but I think there's going to be a court case about him and everything. They're going to decide if he gets to stay with survey corps or…if he dies."

"What?" I said with wide eyes. "What do you mean 'if he dies'?"

"They think he has something to do with the colossal titan or the armored titan or something along those lines. Either way they think since he's a potential threat they don't want to take any chances, so they want him dead. But it's so stupid. I mean he helped us!"

Putting my head in my hands I said, "So what is Levi, Hanji, and Erwin doing about it?"

"I'm not sure. I was so tired I started dozing off and was sent to bed by Roy before they started to discuss it. I know they were trying to find a way to save him. OH and right now he is being held in the basement! Since he can't control his titan shifting, they wanted to make sure he wouldn't hurt anyone. I think Hanji, Levi, and Erwin are down there talking to him right now."

"That poor boy….they're keeping him the basement?...it's pretty much a dungeon. This isn't right. How could they possibly see him as the enemy when helped seal the hole in the wall? Don't they see how important this kid is?...and they're treating him this way…He probably feels like a prisoner."

"I know, and all he wants to do is join the survey corps too."

"Well…I'm going to make sure of that," I said standing up.

Placing a kiss her forehead I said, "Get some rest Kiwi I'll see you in the morning, ok?"

"Ok."

As I turned to walk away, she grabbed my wrist.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!"

"What?" I said turning around to find her lips on my forehead.

"I kissed your head while you were asleep, but I thought I'd do it again," she said with a smile.

It was a thing we always do before we go to bed. I kiss her forehead and she kisses mine. I'm not really sure how it all started, buuut I guess it's just one of those things.

"Alright good night."

"Good night, Catori."

Quietly closing her door I let out a sigh.

Man I just woke up, with my own problems that I have to deal with mind you, AND now I have to deal with this poor boy that might be killed….my gosh I can't catch break today can I?

dakuehn2001: Huh I never heard of "Edge of Tomorrow," but that's interesting that reminded you of it XD. And looks like your wish came true: Catori was awake u! I thought it would put an interesting twist on things for her to see that Levi has a softer side. And that's ok you didn't have any suggestions ^-^ THANKS for liking my story!
