The pain before happiness (Levi Ackerman x Reader)

Five [Fall of Wall Maria]

"GENERAL KIM! The village have been attacked!"

"Location and how many squads is deployed?"

"The Shaniya Village and 7 squads were deployed."

"WHAT? Why that many squads?"

"They are at least 10 of it in the city."

"Get my horse ready. I'm going in." The general said.

It was a blood bath. A village filled with blood was what Eren had in mind. There were 10 of it, 10 titans running towards all the helpless villager, hurting them, eating them, killing them. He felt sick in his stomach.

"Save as many people as you could and don't die."

It was a command given to all the recruits. Eren nodded, gripping onto his swords firmly. He was ready. He needed to be even though he was not. His parents were killed by those titans right in his eyes and he wanted to avenge for their death.

"DIE!" He shouted, quickly trying to leave a wound on one of the titans but, failed. He tried again and again, desperately that soon enrage arose in him.

Captain Levi quickly took care of 3 titans single-handedly. No doubt, he was one of the elites in Survey Corps. His eyes wondered to the rest of the team, seeing as they tried their best to kill a titan.

"HELP!" He heard a voice screamed, a little girl's voice.

There was two option. One, save the little girl and his recruits die. Two, leave the helpless little girl and help his recruits. As far as he needed to save as much lives as possible, the option he weighs were not of any help. The captain kissed his teeth and scurried over to the little girl. Helpless humans come first. He had faith in his recruits, somehow.

"Good choice Captain."

The voice made the captain froze.

"Ge...general Kim!"

There she stood, winds blowing her black cape causing the hoodie to fall on her shoulders. Everyone knew who it was. Her silver hair indicated so.

"Thank you for saving me!" cries the group of recruits.

"Go, lead the villagers to safety."

Captain Levi put down the little girl he saved and told her to follow the rest of the recruits.

"You are not supposed to be out here."

"I know, I got a little surprise that many squads were deployed. Where is your squad, Captain?"

Both of their attention was caught when a titan forcefully threw another one against the wall. The two rushed over.

"Troublesome." General Kim muttered upon the wall that had been altered. It did not only broke but, the sound of it attracted more titans. Instead of 10, there were more coming towards them. "Get the villagers into safety!" Her voice echoed.

"Yes, General Kim!"

"And what do you plan on doing?" Captain Levi asked.

"Killing them myself."

"As much as that is heroic. There are over twenty of them here."

"Well, better get ready then."

"ARGHHHH."

Eren shuts his eyes tight, putting his arms in defence upon seeing how the titan were about to grab him. He lost his swords or any other weapons. He was sure his right leg had broken, and the head wound he received had caused black dots to appear in his eyes. It seems like the end for him. Just as the titan's hand came swinging to aim for him, he waited for his life to be taken but, nothing.

"Idiot." There, the general was kneeling in front of him protectively. Her eyes were looking deeply into his eyes. Eren almost cried.

"G.... General Kim," Eren stuttered. He was lifted by a pair of arms. "Captain Levi."

"Brat, look what you got yourself into." The captain said as the two safely made it on top of one of the roofs, a couple of building away from the titan and general.

"The general..."

"She will be fine." Captain Levi assured. "Kuina, bring him back and get him treated."

"I plan so. The general will not be happy to see those injuries." Eren was surprised at the sudden presence of her, he did not even sense her.

"but I want to help the general."

"Not in this condition brat. It will enrage her more." Captain Levi said, "Go, right now."

And Eren was taken away.

Filthy was what she thought. Her hands and sword were covered in blood, almost everywhere and she hated it. She commanded everyone to retreat as she stayed there, watching as all the titans came forward to her.

"Troublesome," She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I did not want to transform again. Levi, go away, will you?"

"I'm staying."

"It will not be pretty." She warned.

"Seen it before. It does not matter."

"Suit yourself then." She opens her eyes.

Like a killing spree, as fast as a splurge of lightning, titans were killed. The General stood on the ground, supporting herself with her sword, her breathing was heavy, and her body ached. She wanted to move, she wanted to kill the last one but, she felt her legs buckled.

"You've done enough, General. I will take care of the last one." The captain said, just in time to catch her frail before she hit the ground. "You can change back now."
