Lady execution Levi Ackerman x OC (ENG) 18+

Chapter XXV. Empty promises

Shiganshina District August 16th 6:30 a.m

"Hey, come back to reality, Theia," Levi warned her, checking the surroundings.

"Levi, this is our city..." she walked along the walls of the fallen district, scanning with a horrified look as she kicked the kettle. She looked down and frowned after kneeling to get a better look at the object. "Did we ever drink tea on the walls?" She smelled the content, which was unknown to her, which was quite strange, because she thought she knew almost all herbs that could be used to make any kind of tea.

"Maybe someone forgot that," Levi answered her vaguely, while he watched in the distance as Eren successfully blocked the hole in the gate.

"Then why are there no signs of damage on it?" She was shocked by the flare that the scouts fired. "Shit! Don't you have eyes? After all, it is quite clear to me that the hole is blocked, so why do we need to attract attention with flares?" She pointed nervously with both hands towards the gate.

"Forget about some kettle and focus on the mission, those two titan brats could show up at any moment," Levi interrupted her coldly to which Theia rolled her eyes.

"Of course, and thanks to your flares, they'll know exactly where we are," she muttered to herself, walking towards her father with the kettle in hands, when she heard an unpleasant sound from Armin's sonic gun. She rolled her eyes. Scouts really have no idea what the word "discretion" means. She stopped just in front of her father, whose attention was caught by a frightened Armin.

"We are alone here," he stated coldly.

"I was right. They were watching us. Drinking tea while waiting for us and now they are definitely hiding and waiting for the right opportunity," she handed the cold object to her father as a terrified Armin ran to them with the news of the found fire.

"So they are hiding but where?" Erwin thought.

"They could be anywhere, waiting in the nearby forest, or in the houses around the gate, or..." Theia stopped and looked into Armin's eyes, who was thinking about the same thing as her. "Walls..." she whispered and Armin nodded.

"We already know that they can hide there. We have to search it," at that point, all the troops split up to find a hollow in the walls that Rainer or Berthold could use as a hideout. After a moment that seemed like an eternity to everyone, they got another flare, signaling success. Theia leaned over the ramparts as she registered a blade piercing one of the scouts. Erwin stopped her quick reaction and pulled her back just at the moment when Levi flew past to stab Rainer savagely.

"You stay with me," Erwin warned her seriously, not taking his eyes off the boy who fell to the ground after Levi failed to kill him. Immediately after that, as a result of his injuries, he turned into a titan. Erwin's orders were stopped by an explosion about a kilometer away, to which the scouts turned in horror. A huge number of titans transformed at the same time, led by the beast titan familiar to Theia. Her gaze almost immediately jumped to the titan standing next to him, carrying a load on its back. It was smaller, and she realized that it must be the one watching them the night before. Her thoughts were interrupted this time by her father as he gently pulled her jacket back to protect her from the shock wave caused by the flying boulder that blocked the gate and made it impossible for the horses to retreat to Shiganshina.

"Team Levi, Team Hanje. Destroy the armored titan. Team Theia and others protect the horses!" Erwin ordered, but immediately stopped Levi and Theia. "I told Levi and Theia teams, but I need you to switch commands," he commented calmly and Levi frowned.

"You want to put Theia against an armored titan while I will be protecting horses?" He asked irritably to which Erwin nodded.

"Exactly and not only that. If you get a chance, I need you to kill that beast titan. No one else can do that," Erwin specified his request, pointing his finger into the distance, to which Levi let out a frustrated sigh.
