Since day one

Nightmare

Mikasa's POV

''Wake up, Mikasa, Mikasa, wake up.'' some one said as the shook me awake. I sat up abruptly in my bed, my eyes getting used to the darkness in my room. When I finally focus my eyes I can see that it was Levi who had woken me up.

''Wha-what are you doing in here?'' I asked, rubbing my eyes. Levi stared at me then spoke.

''I was coming up here to make sure that it wasn't too hot or too cold, but when I got up here you were thrashing and you seemed like you couldn't find your breath.'' he says, looking at me, eyes slightly showing concern.

''Huh, oh, that. It was nothing, just a nightmare.'' I said as I began to remember what had happened in it. 'I already to care of your friends, including that cock-blocking Levi, now its time to take care of you.' I mentally shudder remembering how I thougth that I was actually going to die. Levi looked at me, then sat beside me on my bed.

''Are you okay?'' he asks, looking at me full in the face.

''Of course I am,why wouldn't I be?'' I asked, confused. He reached out and brushed the side of my face with his thumb.

''Because, you are crying.'' he says, looking at the drop of moisture hanging from his thumb. I look at the tear on his hand, then I rub my face with mine, and lo and behold, there was tears streaming down my face.

''What?'' I said, mostly to my self. 'Did me having this dream, do this?' I think as I continue to rub my eyes with the cuff of my sleeve.

''And you are trembling.'' he says pointing at my hand. I look down at my hands and see that they are shaking really hard. I put my hands under the blanket, in an attempt to get them to stop. Levi looked away as if he was contemplating something then turned to me.

''You said that you had a nightmare...what was it about?'' Levi asks, staring up at me. I looked at the window and stared at the moon light that was filtering in. At first I didn't want to tell him the dream, but after a few moments I decided to retell what had happened in that horrible moment. Levi listened closely and seemd to pay attention to every word I said and when I was done he stood up, patting some dust of his pants.

''So that was what is was about and why you were crying. We will find that traitorus being and bring him to terms for what he has done, but as of now I want you to go to sleep, you need energy, since you lost so much of it being bed-ridden for two weeks.'' Levi says, going to the door.

''Ok then. Good night.'' I said, getting back under the covers.

''Good night.'' he says as he exits and closes the door behind him. I turn on my back and lay my head on my pillow and stare up at the ceiling, remembering what Charolette had asked me the day prior.

'Do you love him, or at the very least, like him?' Yes, Charolette, yes I do.

Levi's POV

After I closed the door to Mikasa's room, I walked back to mine. I replay what she had said what her dream was about and saw how much that dream had affected her. When I went inside her room to check up on stuff I didn't expect to find her thrashing around and crying in her bed. I feel my hands tighten in to fists. How dare he give her nightmares! I just want to throttle him right now, make him pay for what he has done.

I finally get in to my room and sit down on my bed, running my hands through my hair, frustrated. She don't feel safe here, just from hearing her dream I can conclude that she is scrared, even though she doesn't want to admit it herself or she just don't know it. I lay back down hard on my bed, the bed creaking under my weight.

'I swear Mikasa, I will find him, one way or another, and then you will feel safe again, you will no longer be scared.' I thought as sleep tugged at my eyes.
