The power of death

Omens

Mikasa was woken up by a knock on her door. She opened her eyes and saw that it was still dark outside. She sighed and yelled,

"Eren I told you to go back to your room."

"I am not Eren", Levi said.

She walked towards the door and slightly opened it to peek outside. She saw Levi giving her a confused look.

"Are you going to kidnap me again?", Mikasa asked.

"Only if you want me to", he said seriously.

"What do you want? It's late!", Mikasa said.

"It's almost sunrise, get dressed, I want to show you something.", he said.

Mikasa gave him a suspicious look and said, "Alright, give me a second."

She closed the door and went to her suitcase to get her clothes. Erwin had bought her a new SIM card with a local cellphone company so she could have a better cellphone reception signal. She grabbed her phone and shared her live location with Erwin, Eren, and Armin. Yes, she forgave him, but she wasn't stupid to trust him, actions had consequences. She knew what he was capable of so she made sure at least someone knew her whereabouts in case he took her away again.

She looked at her clothing options, it felt good to have her stuff again with her. After getting dressed, she took her daily pill and looked at the other small bottle of pills, the one she got when she arrived at the island.

Not yet

She closed her suitcase and headed for the door. Levi stopped for a moment to look at her then grabbed her hand and walked towards the front of the headquarters mansion. He guided her to the door of a sportscar and opened it for her to get in. She was still giving him a suspicious look while she got inside of the car.

"Where are we going?"

"I want to take you to a place first, then we can go have breakfast and I can show you around the island.", he responded.

After what seemed like hours of driving, Mikasa noticed they had entered a rural area. There were only trees at each side of the road, there were no houses nor businesses, or buildings of any kind nearby. She started to feel uneasy and the feeling increased when Levi took a turn on an unpaved street. After a while of driving on the dirt, she saw at the end of the street a familiar cabin, the cabin where he held her captive. She felt chills down her spine at the memory and at the possibility of him doing it again. Levi stopped the car in front of the cabin and took his seatbelt off to get out of the car when Mikasa asked him,

"Are you going to torture me again?"

Levi looked confused and a little hurt at her words and said, "We have a deal, I gave you my word."

For the first time he realized that she didn't trust him, why would she? He was being so focused on how he felt towards her, not trusting her, her lineage, that he never even thought of how she must've felt about him. She probably felt the same distrust towards him, and she had reasons to. On the other end, he had no reasons to distrust her, only the reminder of her lineage, something she had no control over and didn't know until a couple of days ago... He shook his head and said,

"We are going for a walk."

Mikasa nodded and they got out of the car and started walking through the forest.

"So, who's land is this?", Mikasa asked curiously.

"The Ackerman's.", he said with a smirk.

"Who are they?"
