Complications Throughout Generations

Chapter 57

Mikasa's POV:

I couldn't find Eren anywhere so I stayed by Jean. He was secretly embarrassed that he was a ghost so he stayed by my side as well. I was starting to get worried though. But then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Annie.

"Hey, can we talk?" She asked. Jean heard and looked at me with painful eyes through the holes cut out of the white sheet. Poor Jean. I'll be back. So then I left with Annie.

"Where's Eren?" Was the first thing I asked.

"He's with Reiner and Bertolt." I nodded as we stood in front of the bathroom door but not going inside. "How much do you remember?" Eren must've asked her the same question. I wasn't prepared to answer the question.

"Not a lot." I whispered.

"I don't believe you."

"I'm not lying."

"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll tell Eren...no actually Jean, that you have a crush on them."

"Fine." I panic. "I remember everything."

"What's everything?"

"The second I saw Eren in 3rd grade, I made a drawing of me and him in front of the house my parents were killed in. My old house before the Jaeger's took me to live with them. Eren drew the field we used to play in as kids. He drew a tree. At first, I saw it as what we would lay under but then I saw a grave. Then I realized it was his. That's when I remembered everything in between." I felt like I was betraying Eren by keeping this from him. But he couldn't know. He can't know what he became. I'm dreading the day he sees it. I'm dreading the day he sees that I'm the one that killed him.

"I see everything too." She held the side of her arm and looked away. "It was really scary at first. But then Reiner and Bertolt were both in my class and everything came back to me."

"How do you remember everything?"

"Before we came to Paradis, on Marley they taught us about this. They were waiting for the day when Ymir would be reincarnated. But as for the Titan shifters, they had a theory that you would be able to get your memories back if you did the same thing you would do to actually shift. So we were all at Reiner's house and we tried it. Next thing you know, it's almost like we're our old selves stuck in kid bodies."

I nodded, completely agreeing with her last statement. "That's exactly what it feels like."

"So let's get this straight. You, me, Eren, Eren's dad, Historia, her family, Reiner, and Bertolt are the only ones that are like this." I nodded. "What about Armin?" I shook my head.

"We've told him everything though. So he knows it all except he doesn't have the memories. Eren's memories are scattered but he doesn't remember everything."

"I told him about his dad and the Reiss family." She mumbled. I gasped. Eren probably didn't take that well. "Then he passed out. So Reiner and Bertolt took him to the bathroom, he woke up after 10 minutes. But then he woke up and the first thing he said was 'I ate my dad'."

"So that would mean he's up to date with all his memories of being 10 years old. He knows his dad turned him into a Titan but he doesn't know that he was the Attack Titan."

"He also found out that he was the Founding Titan." She was even quieter.

"What?" I gasped again.

"He didn't ask questions. He didn't seem to know what it was."

"He knows the names. Dr. Jaeger has explained some things. But he doesn't know the details. He's probably afraid to. Eren told me that he heard his dad saying something like 'don't be afraid, it's not the same Eren'."

"Well it'll never actually be the same Eren. The Titans were more a part of him than any of us and there's none left. There's no Marley, no Eldia, no Paradis. There's nothing that can make him what he once was. But when he does find out, I'm scared of how he'll react."

"Me too." Now that I didn't have to hide what I knew, I let my thoughts take off. I loved Eren. I always did. Which is what sparked the memories to begin with. Seeing him triggered the Ackerman blood in me. The same thing happened a thousand years ago. I saw him then and my entire being fixated on him as the host in which I was supposed to protect. When I saw him 2 years ago, it happened all over again and that came with the memories. I understood everything except one thing. "There's something that's still unexplainable to me."

"Which is?"

"Levi."

"Levi? He's actually around? Or are you saying that because of Eren. He's probably in his 20's or something." I just shook my head aggressively. "Wait, you've seen him?"

"Annie, he's my twin brother." This time she gasped. "How is that possible? I don't even have my parents, it's just his mom." She started to think.

"I have a theory."

"Did Eren come to you in your past life? But he was already in his past life? Like a ghost."

"Yeah?" I had no clue where she was going with this.

"And didn't he say he had a mission?"

"Yeah, the mission was Levi."

"Yes, but what if it was more than that? What if he created this future timeline and purposely put you two in the same place?"

That's some crazy brain power she must have at this moment because I can understand her but I think that's crazy, especially for her. Unfortunately, it would make sense. Showing what he did to our minds before The Rumbling is enough proof. It's possible. It's very possible.

"Maybe." I nodded.

"Wait, if Levi's your twin brother, where is he?"

"Homeschooled."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"He's still Levi, just in kid form."

"I'm guessing he has his memories back."

"Not that I know of. He doesn't go outside. He hasn't in almost 4 years. There's nothing around to trigger anything."

"Has he met Eren?" I nodded. But then I thought of my own theory.

"Mine came to me when I was 8, back then and now. I don't know when Levi's abilities were unlocked a thousand years ago but I do remember that he switched to Eren when he was 15. So maybe when we're 15, they'll come to him?"

Would we really need to wait 5 years for Levi?
