The pain before happiness (Levi Ackerman x Reader)

Ten [Save me]

"Levi."

"Raven."

He ran, ran so fast to her direction. There was no one, only the two of them. Raven was kneeled on the ground; her hands were chained to an unknown source. She was bleeding, everywhere. She was crying. Levi ran faster towards her.

"Hang in there. I'm coming for you." Levi called out.

And he woke up, breathing heavily in cold sweats. It was a dream, again. It has been a week since Raven was captured. Levi stood up, grabbing his cape and exited the general's office to where Erwin was.

"You need to apprehend Petra. She had something to do with the general's disappearance." Levi said.

Erwin looked up from his paperwork and realise how horrible he looked. There were bags under his eyes and the pale complexion was of no help.

"We can't apprehend her without any proof, Levi."

Levi clenched his fist in anger, "Then, I will be leaving tonight to bring her home."

"Levi, you know you can't leave as you wish."

"She is my fiancée. She is somewhere out there suffering, getting tortured. I saw her in my dreams every single night and I failed to help her." Levi broke down, "She is my fiancée. She deserves to be here in my arm, not out there in pain and agony."

"You will not leave alone. I will come along. So will Hange, Petra and Farlan. We will rescue her."

"Please, thank you." Levi whispered.

Eren heard the rustling from outside of his bedroom. He peeked outside to see Levi, Kuina and her boyfriend, Niragi. He came outside.

"Where are you going?"

"It is none of your business." Levi replied.

"I want to come along." Eren said.

Levi glares at him, "You will stay here. You will stay here safe and sound."

"but."

"Stay here with Kuina and Niragi." Levi said and he exited the general's office with his packed belongings.

General Kim, better known as Kim Raven, panted as she tried to break away from the chains that held her down.

"Fuck," she cursed tugging on the chains.

"It's no use. You cannot break it, not with the serum in you. You'll soon transform into one of it." Grisha smirked, sitting on the chair at the corner of the dungeon while he smokes a cigarette. "I love to see you suffer this way. Soon, Eren will join you. He will be locked out beside you, turning into one. I cannot wait for that to happen." He chuckled.

"Fuck you. Fuck you Grisha!" She screamed.

A smack was delivered to her cheeks. Raven scoffed and spat on his face. Grisha rose in anger. He went over to her and tugged a handful of her silver locks.

"You useless fuck!" He threw her to the wall. Raven groaned in pain, curling into a ball as the pain emit her entire frail. "Throw her to the titans." The underlings of his, removed the chains from her body and dragged her out of the dungeon.

"We're here." Erwin said. "Find the general and leave this place, is that clear?"

"Yes sir." The squad responded.

"Petra," Levi called out, "before we go, is there anything you would like to say?"

Petra took a step back, avoiding the captain's eyes, "No."

"If there is something you do not own up now, you will be executed the moment we go back to Wall Maria." Everyone flinched at the words Levi had said. It was filled with venoms that one touch can caused a death sentence.

"FINE!" Petra yelled, "I was the one that helped Grisha Yeager to capture the general."

"Petra! How could you?" Erwin gasped.

"That is horrible! Why would you do that?" Hange asked.

Petra begins sobbing, "I thought if the general was gone, I...I could finally have Captain Levi all to myself."

"You are such an awful person." Farlan added.

"It is all her fault! She stole the captain all to herself when I am clearly in love with you, Captain Levi."

Levi glared at her, "Despicable you."

"Levi! It's her."

Levi turned his attention away from the sinful woman and found his fiancée being dragged on the field and they left her all alone. The chamber to what seems to be huge dungeon were opened. Titans crawled out of the entrance.

"FUCK OFF!" Levi jumped of the building's roof and manoeuvres down to her. Erwin, Hange and Farlan followed through maiming all the titans that were approaching close.

"Levi, you came." Raven smiled sadly. She painfully lifted her hand and caresses Levi's cheek.

"Shhhh, save your strength. Let us get you homed." He plants a kiss to her forehead and carried her off the ground. "I got her, let's go." All of them retreats up the roof.

"NOT SO FAST RAVEN!" Levi looked back to see Grisha stabbing Zeke through his heart. Zeke began transforming.

"Hurry, get on the horse." Erwin commanded, "straight back to Wall Maria, now!"

"Hang in there, okay? Stay awake for me." Levi whispered his fiancée as they galloped fast back to Wall Maria.

"I'm okay."

Erwin took out his signal gun and shoot it out to the sky, alarming the soldiers of the incoming titans.

"Levi, you'll bring her straight into Wall Rose. Do not turn back."

"Y...you cannot do that." Raven heaved, "I will fight."

"You can't do that." Hange said, "your injuries are horrendous. You cannot fight in this condition."

"I have to."

Levi looked at her deep in her eyes and sighed, "use me. Use my body. If you want to fight, fight with me."

"Thank you." Raven smiled, kissing him lightly.
