Levi walks over to the group with a note clasps between his fingers, and tosses the note onto the long wooden table where all of you were sitted.

The cadets excepct Mikasa dives onto the table, ready to grab the note that was thrown onto the table, like a bunch of hungry lions pouncing on its prey. Eren grabs it first and unfolds it.

Everyone gathers around Eren, you walk over with Furlan still sleeping in your arms. Levi sees you with Furlan and motions you to pass Furlan to him. You did so with a smile. Furlan lays snuggly onto his dad's shoulder, only slightly opening his eyes to see where he is now. Seeing that it was his dad, Furlan smiles to himself and comfortably lay his head on his dad's shoulder once more.

You lean in to look at the note, written in the same black ink, it says:

"At dawn, by the chapel."

Connie raise his eyebrows at the words, "Well, at least it's getting more straight-forawd, unlike the last one that made me feel like my brain had turned into mashed potatoes."

Sasha glances at Connie at the mentioned of the word "potatoes", and suddenly takes one out of her pocket and starts nibbling on it.

You chuckle at Sasha, "How do you manage with so much potatoes?"

Sasha chews then swallows, "It helps me think when I eat." she slightly whispers back to you.

Levi ended the meeting, he looks at the cadets with his arms still holding the sleeping Furlan, "We'll go to Yarckel tomorrow."

Everyone salute with a slight bow as they go on there way, leaving you, Levi and Furlan in the library.

"Let's go back now, before Furlan wakes up." Levi says as you roll up the papers and stash it onto one of the barrels with the other maps.

Once back in your living quarters, Levi walks into Furlan'sroom and lays him carefully onto Furlan's bed. You lean against the doorframe watching them after washing up and dressed in your pajamas. Then walking back with Levi to the room you shared, you crawl into the bed and get comfy under the comforter. As you lay there and watch Levi undress, then getting change into much more comfortable clothing for him to sleep in.

Your eyes follows him, as he crawls into bed, slipping into the comforter next to you. He lays on his side as he looks at you, you continue to lay on your back but tilts your head to the side to look him in the eyes. In the semi darkness, the room lite slightly by the moonlight seeping through the white woven curtains.

"I hope this is nothing serious. Has anyone been following you?" Levi asks.

"No, not that I know of.." you reply.

Levi frowns a bit, and places a hand on your back, as he pulls you closer. Levi leans his head against the side of your head, as you glance at him. Levi closes his eyes as he says, "I hope nothing happens."

You reach your head up to ruffle your fingers through his hair, he sounds more worried than you are about the situation.

You turn onto your side to face him, Levi slightly opens his eyes to look at you as you say with a slight smile, "I'm not worried because I know you'll be by my side."

Levi's grey gazes at you for a moment before planting a kiss on your forehead, and pulls you into his warm embrace. You hug him back reassuringly as you closes your eyes to sleep.

-----------------------------------

Yarckel the Western District in Wall Sina.

It's old castle like walls, the tiled red roofs, it fading beige colored building and nested between them are a few grown trees, its leaves rustle and sway in the breeze.

Levi had notified Commander Erwin of this uncanny event, that he wasn't sure how long it would last. After going through the usual cadet schedule, Furlan was taken care of by the nanny for half a day, so the Survey Corps can go on with this mission.

You walk toward the chapel, while the others split into groups hide and survey the area around the designated destination. The chapel also had a dull beige colored wall, some bricks chipped at the end made it seem like it had been through some rough years, the tall double doors with its mosaic glass windows now dawns upon you, as you gaze upon the closed entrance.

The time is near, as the sunlight appears in the horizon. You sit on the bench in front of the chapel. The mosaic glass windows glistens under the warm sunlight seeping through above the walls. The streets are quiet, expect for a few pigeons plucking at the cracks of the cobble stone road for its breakfast.

Just then, one of the double door to the chapel opens, out comes an elderly priest carrying a bowel. He steadily walks on the steps and out into the courtyard into fro.t of the chapel. You watch as he starts spreading breadcrumbs onto the stone ground, as flutters of peigons gather to peck at the breadcrumbs on the floor.

Nothing seems amiss, like it was just a typical Wendesday morning. The elderly priest turns to go back as he finishes his daily routine. He spots you sitting on the bench and gives you a warm smile, "Hello , dear child, you are up early." the priest greets.

You gaze at him, smiling back, "I'm here to meet someone." you say.

Suddenly, a little boy comes pit patting out of the chapel in a choir gown, "Reverend Joseph," the boys as he steps close to the priest and hands him a note, "A man gave this to me when he steps out of the confessional." the boy cries, you frown at his words as you stands up from the bench. Then you see Levi quickly zipping through the sky and lunges himself through the opened door and into the chapel, while the others stay hidden in case there was an ambush. The priest takes the note from the choir boy and read the outside of the note.

You meet the Priest Joseph's gaze as he lifts his eyes off the cover of the note and hands the notes toward you.

You look at him carefully, before grabbing it into your hand. You gaze down at the cover which says,

"To the lady sitting on the bench."

You look toward the chapel, as you hear the clicking sound of boots coming your way. Levi now stands next to you, as Preist Joseph and the choir boy looks at him in surprise. You open the note, written inside in the same black ink,

"It would have been better if you were alone."

Abruptly, Levi grabs the note from your hand and crumples it into his fist.

"There is no way, I will be leaving my wife alone." Levi says huskily under his breathe as he gazes across the courtyard as the sun shines above the wall.
