Darkness. But in the distance there's a light. You walk towards it. The light blinds you and your head pounds. You're so disoriented.
"Where am I?" you ask yourself.
Your body feels like you're somersaulting over and over again. It makes your stomach churn. Finally in your confused state you can make out an image. You're next to wall Maria. It looks so real. You think, "it is real. How did I get here?" Suddenly a burnt smell catches your attention. It stings your eyes. You look around. The ground around you is covered in flames. There's patches of grass where it's clear from fire so you walk through those few areas. You wonder what in the world could've happened here. You don't see anyone.
"Hello?" You call out. No response. The pounding in your head comes back as you bend down grabbing your face in pain. What is that? You were squinting your eyes and now as you opened them you saw it. Everywhere around you was filled with dead bodies. But not just any dead bodies. It was your friends. You bent down next to one and hesitantly rolled them over to make sure you weren't imagining it. You weren't. Armin's glazed eyes stared back at you. You grabbed your hand back recoiling because of the sight. You try to stand, but fall back onto your knees and look around at the others. Dead. All dead. You try not to scream, but you can't help it. They're all dead. You fall down on your hands, sobbing now. Wait. You didn't see Levi. You shakily stand up and run around like a lunatic. Everyone was dead. But maybe Levi is alive. "He has to be" you say out loud. You walk around aimlessly and then try your luck calling out to him. You yell his name. Each time your voice breaks more and more. Your face is covered with tears. After all this all of them are gone. You grab your hair not knowing what to do or where to go. Then you hear a quiet voice. It's faint. You say anxiously, "H-hello?" as your feet start walking towards the sound. There it is again. You yell, "Levi?!" and run to the sound of his voice. You find him and can't help, but gasp at what you see. You practically throw yourself onto the ground kneeling next to him. He is covered in blood. His face is a deathly white and you can see that his wounds are far from treatable. You gently grab his hand and hold it in yours. "Levi..." a tear slides slowly down your cheek, "it's going to be okay." He stares back at you and says, "Y/n...it's not, but you will be okay. Promise me you'll be okay y/n." You refuse to let him talk like that.
"No don't say that I- we can figure something out." an idea sparks into your brain and as it does a man appears. His shadow is tall and at first you can't make out who he is. Then you remember. It's the man who was interrogating you. "When did he interrogate me?" you ask to yourself. "What is going on?" Something clearly didn't feel right. Maybe because of whatever is going on you couldn't remember certain things. You don't even know how you got here. But that doesn't matter. You have to save Levi.
The man stops in front of the two of you. "Ah...what a shame. Poor Captain Levi finally dying at last."
You stand up at these words and yell, "Get the hell away from us!" You don't remember exactly who he is, but you can tell he isn't good. He slowly starts to pull something out of his pocket. A case. He unzips it and you prepare to attack him in case it's a weapon. It's shiny. A syringe? Wait you know exactly what it is. It's filled with titan spinal fluid. That can save him. You lunge towards him trying to grab the syringe, but a force stops you in your tracks. You are frozen. You can't move. What is going on?
"Now now y/n...no need for that. I can give it to you. All you have to do is tell me what you found in Eren's cellar and how his powers work."
Why is he saying this? None of this makes sense. "Eren's dead! And Levi will be too just give it to me please!" You respond.
You look over at Levi who has blood dripping out of his mouth. His breathing looks so unsteady. You clench your fists in anger. You turn back to the man and glare at him. You say coldly and sternly, "give me the syringe or I'll kill you."
He laughs at your words and says, "you're not in control here. Tell me the answer y/n."
You know a little about Eren's powers. A lot actually. But you know nothing about the cellar. You hadn't made it there. You wonder. If Eren is dead then why not just tell the man? But something feels off. This isn't right. You look back at Levi. He coughs up blood and turns to look at you. You see a stray tear slide down his face. You're not going to let him die. But...why do you feel like something is off. This isn't right. You start crying. At the worst time of course. But you can't control it. All of your friends are dead and Levi will be too if you don't tell this man what he wants to know.

The man asks y/n, "what do you know?" as his anger rises. Y/n's face is covered in tears and she is mumbling something inaudible. Her body starts convulsing, an effect of the drug most likely. Levi yells out, "what are you doing to her?! Just stop this isn't going to accomplish anything. If she dies what will you have then?"
Y/n's head falls down and her body is completely still. Levi feels the dead stillness and tries to get out of the restraints again. The door to the room slams open and the man collapses to the ground with a grunt. Blood pools around him. Mikasa and Jean. Mikasa runs over to y/n and Levi cutting the bands. Jean looks at y/n.
"Is she..."
"No idiot" Levi responds "help me get her up." Levi had been attacked by the man a few times and was in no shape to carry y/n. Jean lifted her onto his shoulders and everyone ran out of the building. Armin and Connie were in a wagon. Eren was there too. He is laying down in the back clearly also injured. The group runs to the wagon and Sasha appears behind you all making it before the horses take off with the wagon and says, "wow we actually did it!"
She looks at Levi, y/n, and Eren. She asks, "are they okay?"
Mikasa responds, "Eren is fine as far as I know. He got hurt pretty bad, but he can heal quickly."
Jean adds, "Y/n...she is fine too...I think."
Levi shoots him a look. "She will be okay."
Connie who is in the front with Armin guiding the horses, turns around and yells, "there's a knife in her leg!"
Jean rolls his eyes saying, "oh really dumbass we didn't notice."
Connie's eyes are still wide. Everyone is in an odd mood because of the situation. Levi sits down next to y/n and puts his hand on her shoulder. He looks down at her with worried eyes. The others notice his actions, but of course don't say anything about them.
