After I died

We had just arrive at the cottage when Nifa arrived with a letter from Erwin. Levi looked at it for about twoseconds before saying: "Everyone gather your things, we have to leave as soon as possible." The second we were away from the cottage far enough, the military police barged in. "Thank god, just a bit later  and they would've caught us.", Armin mumbled. "Me and Moblit will go to Erwin and make clear of the situation, the rest of you goes with Levi." Hanji said, before coming over and hugging me. "I'll see ya.", she mumbled. "Take care.", I replied. We all started walking short after Hanji and Moblit had gotten on their horses and left.

"Where are we going now?", I asked, walking next to Levi. "Trost.", he replied. "Trost? But Pastor Nick just got killed there, isn't that super dangerous?", Eren chimed in, running up from behind. "Well, it's far away from the inner districts and since it's currently quite chaotic there, it's easy to not draw a crowd.", he explained convincing Eren and the rest. We spent the night in a forest somewhere on the ground. Me and Nifa were the last ones up, watching the surrounding.

Levi sat down next to us short later. "You can go to bed now, Nifa. I'll take it form here.", he said and Nifa nodded, going over to where the others were sleeping. "It's likely we're fighting people from now on.", Levi said, after he made sure everyone was asleep. I nodded shortly. "I suppose your asking me to make use of my skill set." "You know how to handle these", he asked, pulling out a few throwing knives and handing them to me. I checked the balance and weight they had. "Let me see." I spotted a small rat nearby and threw the knife, hitting perfectly.

"Show off.", he huffed. "Jealous much?", I teased, chuckling. "But they're good. Well balanced, niceweight, you sure you want me to have these and not yourself?", I asked. "I'm not a thrower. Can't make use of them anyway.", Levi just said, looking at the fire in front of us. "But you kow that this isn't for fighting people..." "I shouldn't ask of you to kill someone.", he sighed, still not looking at me. "But you're the only one here that has experience in fighting and killing people.I don't want any of themto die because they hesitated. You won't." I nodded. He was right, if my team was on the line I wouldn't hesitate a single second.Maybe even if they weren't on the line.

"You can count on me, captain." "Just Levi is fine." I nodded, finding some places in my uniform to hide the knives. "And this." He gave me one of the pistols we had. "The others will get one too. You should go to sleep now, we'll need you at full strenght tomorrow." "What about you?", I asked. "I'll be fine.", he mumbled so I lied down, but staying close to the fire since I liked the warmth.

The next morning we dressed Jean and Armin up as Eren and Historia and made our way to Trost. Eren and Historia wereseperated from the rest of us in a covered cart to keep them safer while Armin and Jean did their job pretending. We were walking on themarketwhen a cart, rushed past us, grabbing the doubles of their feet and taking them away.

"Alright, onto the 3dmg's. Mikasa, you come with me. Ana, keep the others safe." And off Levi was with Mikasa, following the cart that kidnapped Jean and Armin. "Alright everyone, keep behind me.", I said, walking through a few side alleys seemignly with no bigger plan other than getting any possible pursuer off our backs. "Onto the roofs everyone. Quietly." They did as I said and we took the way over  the roofs to get somewhere safe. We collected Jean and Armin on the way when passing the house they'd been kept in.

Levi was already gone again, but Mikasa, Armin and Jean joined us. We got back onto the roofs, when Sasha suddenly started yelling: "There were shots! I heard shots!" My first insitnct was to go help, but I wouldn't leave the team alone. We could to stay together and trust that Levi and Nifa would do their job. "Are we going to help?", Connie asked, looking over at me. But they were probably out numbered and maybe some of them even dead already if they got caught of guard.

Could I really drag the whole team into this fight? Yes, I had to. "That's the direction Historia and Eren should be. We're going over to help." The whole team took off, flying towards the rough spot Eren, Historia, Nifa and Levi should be. We found Levi following he cart, the roof was gone, Historia and Eren passed out and Nifa nowhere to be seen.

Right behind Levi, a man with a hand gun showed up. Levi was focused on us so he didnt notice the enemy in time. I jumped in without second thought, pulling him out of harm warm, and throwing one of the knives, immediatly kiling the man, who's  shot had hit my upper arm tho. In reaction to me pulling him away, Levi shot the 3mg, pulling us towards a near wall. "Thanks.", he mumbled. "You okay?" "Just a stroke shot, I've had worse.", I replied. "You?" "Everything okay.", he said.

"Alright, Everyone follow this cart, we need to get them back." Levi then loked back over at me. "This is the people we talked about. You got full permission for every dirty method." I nodded, and took of  to follow the cart with the others, Levi followed right behind us. I pulled myself around a chimney to get in front of the cart. There were two enemies, a woman steerring the cart and a man defending it, who was the more important one now, since he was threatening my friends.

"Killian, watch out!", the woman yelled as I pulled the knife from my boot, but he wasn't fast enough. My knife hit straight through his neck as he fell off the cart. The woman shot at me, before I could pull out the second knife. I had to duck away, falling back next to the cart again. Armin and Jean got onto the cart as I threw another one, hitting the womans shoulder, causing her to fall back ito the cart where Jean pointed his sword at her quickly, but loosing it just as fast. The woman had a chance to shoot but hesitated, it were only two second, the only chance we'd get to safe Jean, but before I could hit her, Armin did.
