JAN 845
Mae wipes the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, as she cleans her medical equipment with a rag. It has been 3 days since Mr. Mendes had left, and the clinic is not the same without his kind eyes and rambunctious laughter that erupts at every silly thing.
Handling the clinic all alone is exhausting, and she misses him. But it'll be fine, he'll be back in 2 weeks. And all will be well after then!
It is a regular day, the sun is out, and people work at their stores, sweating under the blazing sun.
The gates of Rose open with a jarring sound and her head swivels back. Eyes piercing through the window in the clinic that displays the city.
The Survey Corps trudge inside human territory. Faces defeated as they return from a mission. People gather around the streets and taunts are thrown around. Pity creeps up in Mae's heart as she sees the scene unfold.
And then she catches a familiar raven head, and her lips turn into a frown.
It's been 2 weeks since that eventful day when he threatened to kill her. 2 weeks since the day she resolved that she'd somehow get him out of her spot. And she has concluded that he is insufferable.
Her mind reels back to the one conversation she's had with him.
"Hey, looks like you're here again today."
"..."
"What is your name?"
"..."
"How was your day?"
"Can you shut your annoying ass up."
"The silence was awkward I was just trying to----"
"It wasn't awkward for me."
Mae has given up on him. He's a gone case. Not only is he violent, but also rude and humiliating. He lacks human decency and that grumpy asshole just can't move his butt somewhere else.
He filters through the group of soldiers and a person chases behind him. They sport big rectangular glasses. And their brown hair sways with every step of the horse, as they speak animatedly.
Levi rolls his eyes, averting his horse away from them as they start to chat his ear off.
A small smirk forms on Mae's face, as she watches the interaction from afar.
Good. If she can't annoy him, then someone else must do it.
*********
The city bustled with life.
Children ran along the alleys, and the cleaners scowled as they dirtied the places that had been freshly swept. Civilians bargained with vendors to save a mere penny or two. And the stray cats found sleep, in the dusty roads of the noisy markets.
It was the life everyone knew and then in a moment, it all turned to death.
The frivolous chatter that lingered a few hours ago has turned into screams. Panic colors the walls, as people wail in terror. Their minds dwindling between all that is lost and all that will be lost.
Death flocks around today. It manifests in many forms.
Civilians run around, stomping on stalls and everything else, precious fruits crushed beneath their feet as fear surges through them. Somewhere there is a forgotten teddy bear, lost on the floor, trampled, and ruined in all the rampage
