The Destiny

Chapter 18. Bread baking

~Destiny's POV~

My eyes shoot open and I sit up hastily in my bed, breathing quickly and sweating as I try to calm myself down. My throat feels dry and my hands are shaking as I reach for the glass of water on my nightstand. Another vision...

I look around the room and the somehow light up room, it seems to be very early morning. I feel Luna jumping up on the bed, quietly enough for me to not hear her at all. She walks over to me and lays down in my lap while I chug down some water and pet her head.

"I'm sorry Luna, no morning cuddles today... this is very important. I can almost not belive it myself..." I say breathily efter I'm finished chugging down my whole glass of water and Luna jumps off of my lap with a "meow" like she understands everything I'm saying.

I don't even bother changing clothes from my long, white night gown before I rush out of my room, almost running down the halls, up the stairs and towards Commander Erwins room, knocking hastily on his door, "Commander Erwin? It's me, Destiny. I had a vision, and I have to tell you about it urgently. It's important-" I don't even get to finish my sentence before he opens his door standing in a long white nightgown himself, with a white long cap, looking alert like a dog on guard even though I clearly woke him up. He opens the door fully for me to step inside as I close the door behind me.

"What did you see, Destiny?" He asks seriously as he head over to his desk, pouring water into a glass and handing it to me. I'm a bit confused to why at first, but then I realise that I'm panting after my little run across the whole head quarters, so I gladly accept and chug down some more water.

"I'm so sorry for waking you up like this... Long story short, there are titans inside the walls." I say breathily after chugging down the water, looking at him in outmost seriousness as he's taken aback by my words.

"Titans inside the walls..? In both ways?" He asks in confusion, allowing me to explain further.

I nod, "Yes. My vision told me that there are titans inside the walls. They're made made by thousands of titans using their hardening to make the walls."

"Titans inside the walls..." He repeats quietly, seemingly thinking as he looks down on his desk in disbelief, before he looks at me once again, now calm and collected again. "Are you sure?"

"Yes Commander. It also came to my knowledge that the church knows more about the matter and has been keeping the information secret for decades."

He nods, "Good job, Destiny. You never fail to impress me. Thank you for your service. I'll have Hange inspect the matter at once. Now, go back to bed and get some rest." He smiles softly as he walks towards me, patting my head as I nod.

"Thank you Commander, but its a bit to late for me to go back to sleep now... Enjoy the rest of your morning." I say and smile, giving him a salute before I walk out of his room and back to mine.

I walk through the corridors and finally stops at one of the clocks, it's exactly 4 o'clock. Like I said to Erwin, it's to early to go back to bed, and everyone's asleep... except...

A smile forms on my face as I get an idea. I rush down quietly to my dormroom, making sure to not wake anyone up, changing clothes to my daily long, white dress with my blue apron tied around my waist, hanging down on the skirt, while Luna looks at me in confusion and delight, before I rush out of my dormroom with Luna behind me.

I knock on the door 3 quick times when I reach my destination, waiting eagerly before I knock once more, coming to my forth knock before the door shoots open, "What do you want brat?" Levi asks irritated as I give him and excited smile.

"Wanna bake some bread?" I ask excitedly enough to make me run a little on place, knowing that this is the first time in more than a year since we both baked bread together first thing in the morning.

"Tch." He crosses his arms and look to the side, before his lips crack a small smile, looking back at me. "Last one to the kitchen is a ugly titan." He says and smirks at me while my eyes shoot open and my lips form a grin, before both of us rush down to the kitchen in the corridor, doing everything in our power to not come in last, bumping into walls and eachother in the turns, and even stumbling a bit from the speed from running down the loud, wooden stairs, probably waking every soul in the head quarters.

I have an advantage though from living in these head quarters 24/7 for years, so I quickly take another turn than Levi, heading into one of the hidden passages that leads directly into the kitchen. I come out of one of the cabinets that I've emptied just to use this passage, and arrive 20 seconds before my brother does.

We look at eachother while panting a bit, "Took you long enough, ugly titan." I finally break the silence with a mischievous grin on my lips.

"Oh you little brat...!" He says chuckling before he chase me around the kitchen, grabbing a wooden spatula as we run around the kitchen like how we did when we were small. I grab a pan and laugh as he fails to catch me as I run around the table.

We end up running for a while before the kitchen door slams open by none other than Hange. Me and Levi stop in our tracks, frozen like statues as Hange sares at us from the doorframe with wide open, half red eyes while breathing a bit quicker than usual. We keep staring at Hange who keeps staring back at us, before me and Levi look back at one another for a second, giving eachother a nod as if we're thinking the same thing, "No. If you're baking bread, then you bake bread." Hange says sternly, knowing exactly what me and Levi agreed on with the look we gave eachother.

"Yes ma'am." We somehow say in unison as we walk towards the kitchen counter to make some bread while Hange walks into the kitchen and sits down at the table with a tired groan.

Me and Levi starts preparing the ingredients for some whole rye bread that we always bake together, "I can't belive it..." Hange says in disbelief and groans, collapsing on the table with a thud together with her groan.

"I know right? I was just as much in disbelief when I found out. Even though I was the one delivering the news, I almost didn't belive it myself." I say as I climb the counter to reach the flour on the top shelf in the cabinet.

"What news?" Levi asks, slightly confused as he searches the cabinet for jeast.

"Didn't Erwin tell you? There's titan in the walls." Hange says with a sigh as she sits up halfly, resting her head in her palms as she supports her position with her elbows against the wooden table.

"There's titans in the walls?" Levi asks, sounding a bit surprised as he stops his search for yeast by looking at Hange before he let's out a sigh in disbelief, returning to his search, "And here I thought nothing could surprise me anymore."

"I know right! I'm taking Mobilt and the rest of my team there at 7 to investigate the matter. Apparently the church has knowledge about the matter that they've kept hidden away."

"What." Levi says dead serious. I can feel his temper coming and I let out a sigh, pouring some flour into a bowl before I place the flour back down, taking a handful of flour in both of my hands and turning around and throws the flour in their faces, leaving them both dead silent.

"Tiny, you're dead."
