Survival Of The Fittest ~ An Attack on Titan Fanfiction

Danger within the Walls

ONE MONTH LATER

Levi stood in the staircase leading to the dungeon where Quinn was being held. Levi repositioned the garment bag in his hands, it would be inappropriate for him to give Quinn her clothes, it might be implied as something it wasn't and that was the last thing they all needed. Petra should be here by now, Levi's thoughts were interrupted when he heard one of the MP's guarding Quinn's cell speak.

"So what do you think?"

"Of the trial? We're not allowed to discuss it."

"Not about the trial moron! I'm talking about the girl!"

"I-I don't like where this conversation is going-."

"Of course you don't, you're still young!" The older MP chuckled, "That girl in there's got a fine body let me tell you, her behind is the best part!"

"Hey quiet down someone will hear you!"

"Oh hush! Even if someone did hear me they wouldn't do squat!" Levi's foot went into the back of the mans knee, dropping him in front of Quinn's cell, before the MP could react Levi had shoved his face between the bars, glaring down at him in disgust.

"Apologize." Levi growled, causing the other MP to only shake more.

"Hell no." The older Mp spat. Levi drew his brows together at the man's retort, pulling the mans head back by his hair, then slamming his head back against the bars several times before halting,

"One more time, apologize!"

"B-but sir, she's asleep!" The younger MP spoke up, his voice shaking a bit.

"I wasn't talking to you." Levi tightened his grip on the mans hair,

"Alright! Alright!" The older MP, gripped the bars tightly, "I'm sorry-!"

"Her name is Quinn."

"Quinn! I'm sorry Quinn!"

"Captain?!" Petra's voice came from behind the commotion.

"Here's her bag." Levi turned around handing Petra Quinn's clothes,

 "I swear if one of you idiots wakes her up-."

"Captain!" Petra's tone increased with worry as Levi's drew back the mans head, Levi grunted, letting the MP go,

 "Let her rest awhile longer." Levi began walking away, motioning for Petra to follow, 

"After the trial, I will ask how she was treated here, if her answer isn't what I want to hear, both of you idiots will apologize, my way."

The dungeon below the court was a bit chilly, I was being kept here not because I was seen as a threat, but because treason was one of the highest forms of crime that could be committed in the Regiments. Levi was the only one who knew right? But I knew for sure that Levi would not do this to me. There was no way that anybody could have known this information, and I wasn't completely sure if someone could have overheard my confession to Levi, maybe I could ask Luke and the others if they had heard anything, then again the only allowed visitors were members from Levi's squad and Doctor Augustine, so speaking to the others directly was impossible. I walked to the excuse for a mirror and began fixing my hair and wiping the crust from my eyes, I had my trial today, and if I didn't make the right impression and the judges rule wasn't in my favor, I could be put in jail for the rest of my life, and who knows, if it was severe enough, maybe I could even be put to death. I looked to the MP's guarding my cell, one of them holding a reddened rag to his face, was he bleeding? I stepped closer to the bars,

"Hey, you alright?" The older MP quickly looked away at my words, averting his eyes to the floor swiftly.

"Quinn." I met eyes with Petra, she was holding a garment bag, watching my face closely. "Levi wants you to wear clean clothes to the trial, I brought you a brush and some water to help clean you up a bit." Petra looked to the guards cautiously, "Is it alright I give her these items?" The younger MP nodded hurriedly, sweat forming on his brow, what was wrong with them?
