~Present Time: Four Days Later~

The 3DMG was heavy on me, and my muscle pain from days of intense training annoyed me. I quickly left the supply house so that I could leave with the rest of the scouts. Today was my second expedition.

The bright morning sun hit my face as I left the supply house. I saw many people get on their horses and head to the town. I ran to the stables to get mine, and to my surprise I saw Levi there. He was waiting by my horse's stable.

"You're finally here, brat." he said.

I nodded and went inside the stable. My horse was fed and ready to go. I was about to mount, but Levi grabbed my arm and brought me towards him.

"(y/n), promise me you will stay alive." he told me.

I stared into Levi's cold grey eyes, and saw the worry in them. The reason why he is so worried is because the commander put me in another squad in the lower right. He said that we need strong soldiers spread throughout the formation. Levi, at first, disagreed, but he had no choice but to accept the fact.

"I will do my best to do so." I said.

Levi kept a tight grip on my arm. I frowned in confusion.

"Captain?"

"Do you even care if you live or die?" he asked.

"What?" I questioned him.

"You heard me, brat."

I narrowed my eyes and sucked my teeth.

"During expeditions, everyone cares about their lives because they have something to live for." I pulled my arm away from his grip. "I have nothing. My son is dead, and my life is tied to the liberation of humanity."

I mounted and grabbed the reins of my horse.

"If you have anything else to say, then say it now."

Levi shook his head and left the stables. I looked at my horse. I petted his mane.

"Lets go, boy. We have an expedition to survive."

~~~~~~

The commander was yelling numerous things before the expedition. I was growing impatient, but I kept myself calm. The people from my new squad were giving me looks. One particular girl, a snobby smartass, was whispering something bad about me to her teammate.

"Why does she have to be on our team? She is just as weak as every other solider. She doesn't deserve the honor of being on Captain Levi's squad."

I rolled my eyes and put my attention back to the commander. We were about to leave. I wonder what we will accomplish today. Nothing but death probably.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but every expedition is usually the same result. Back when I was with Floyd, he'd usually talk about military news with his drinking buddies, and he'd always say that the Scouts failed again.

"FORWARD!" Erwin yelled.

I snapped out of my thoughts, and headed out the gates with the rest of the soldiers.

Erwin ordered everyone to go into the special formation. I headed to the bottom right squad. It was the furthest back to on the right flank, and it's one of the most dangerous parts.
