You don't know how long you've been unconcious. But you can definitely feel the tiredness seep out of your body, as you lay on your stomach, your body and face lay on the riverbank, caught by a big fallen branch that had stopped you from going any further down the river.

Slowly opening your eyes and coughing up the water that went down the wrong hole.

You gradually come back to your senses, as your body ache against the stones poking at your side as you got up, and lean the side of your body against the boulder that had held the fallen branch in place.

Steadily bringing air into your lungs as you being to take deep breaths. The rain had stopped pouring down, and had become a light drizzle as tiny drops of rain lightly showers over the landscape.

You gaze around your surrounding, you were still in the forested area, sitting by the riverbank, as a gush of wind suddenly made you realize the coldness seeping through your wet uniform.

You try to shake it off, but of course nothing will do unless you find shelter in place. The sky had an orange tint over the thick clouds.
The sun is setting, and you haven't even had lunch, and it's almost dinnertime.

Your stomach grumble, but you can only dismiss the thought of being hungry and that the priority right now is to find shelter.

Looking down at yourself, but content that you haven't lost anything since it's all strapped to your body. Slowly getting up to make sure there were no injuries, you begin to walk carefully along the river bank. Gazing among the trees for any movement as your hands grip on the handle of your 3D Manuver blade.

There seem to be a path leading towards the forest, suddenly looking up as a group of geese glide over the sky. Thinking nothing more, then to follow the path that hopefully lead you to some shelter. Better than being out in the openess if there were any titans around.

You wanted to climb the trees, but there just weren't any energy left from you and if you fall from the height it would just make things worse than it is.

Back at the mess hall, everyone from Levi's squad had gathered to count the heads of the people in the Survey Corps. Captain Levi standing there silently, as everyone lined up in a salute with there fist on their hearts.

Sasha shouts again as a reminder after the group had come together except for you, "______, hasn't come back yet. Sir!"

Captain Levi glances at Sasha then at Reiner than lingers his grey eyes on Bertholdt, scanning his eyes back to the line of people before him, as he speaks, "Didn't you say, she was following the three of you?" he questions before landing his gaze back at the three who you were last seen with.

Reiner speaks up, "I was carrying Sasha. While Bertholdt and _____ were behind me. I didn't check back on them since I knew they would follow. Yes, she was with us. When we got out of the forest, Bertholdt said ____ was missing. "

"I couldn't see a damn thing over Reiner's broad shoulder, we should have gone back to look for her, but you said no!" Sasha whaled at Bertholdt.

Everyone's gaze now land on the tall slender boy, with his short dark hair.

Bertholdt's gaze looks stern and emotionless as he says, "I was in front of her. She was still behind me until we got out of the forest. If we've gone back with an injuired comrade we would be putting ourselves in jepordy if a titan should appear."

"She must be hungry. Poor thing, where could she be?!" Connie sighs.

"Form in groups of three or two, we're going to search for ____, hopefully before night falls. There's no time to fill your pitiful stomachs." Levi says.
