"Steady... Steady..." I commanded Jack.

"A-a-agh.." He wobbled a bit.

We were training on the practice 3DMG, even though we passed it. Jack was having a hard time, so Ruthie was also helping. She was standing behind him to push him back up so he doesn't fall, and I was standing in front.

"I'm such a klutz." He muttered, putting one hand out in front and then in back. The sun was about to set, and we've been at it since morning.

Ruthie yawned, "Mind if I head back?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll stay here." I replied.

Jack's teeth were clenched as he forced his muscles to stay stiff.

"You're doing it!" I cheered.

"Heh heh. I really am!" He smiled, losing his concentration. Jack fell face flat on the dirt.

I ran over to him, "Hey, are you okay?" I unstrapped him from the wires.

"Ugh, if I'm not able to do this, then how will I manage in a real battle? It's all pointless. Maybe I should just quit and.."

"And stay in an underground prision for fourteen years, abandon our dream, then face our family? You seriously want to go back down there?"

He looked at me with slight shock, and then his expression softened. "This is why you're here with me."

Jack took me into his arms, burying my face into his shirt. I had no time to process what was going on, so I wrapped my arms around his back.

I breathed in his scent, "You still smell like oranges."

"Is that good or bad?"

"It's good."

"I love you."

"I love you too." I felt something drip onto my hair.

"Are you crying?"

Jack's arms fell to his side. He suddenly felt sweaty.

"What's going on?" I looked up.

He had a pained expression, blood oozing out of his hair. He fell to his knees, his head tilted to one side.

"Oh my god... Jack!" The cabins burst into flames.

"Ruthie!" I screamed.

She walked out, most of her skin entirely burnt off. Ruthie was a living zombie.

"You... have to.. run.." She collapsed on the porch.

I put my hand to my mouth as I silently cried. The trees started catching on fire. Screams of terror erupted. Everything went into chaos. A 15 meter Titan emerged from the forest. I was frozen with fear on the spot, allowing it to grab me.

The Titan brought me up to eye level and spoke roughly, "You're mine." I was engulfed in deep pain and darkness.

I woke up with a jolt, screaming. Levi was sitting next to me in a chair, legs crossed. He looked as equally surprised. I took deep breaths, sweat dribbling down my forehead.

"Tch. Could you be any louder?" He handed me a warm mug.

"I apologize, Captain. Thank you." We took a sip at the same time. "How long was I out?"

"About two hours. Maybe more, maybe less. Anyways, what were you dreaming about?"

I paused, the dream slowly slipping away. "Death and destruction." I replied in a monotone voice.

Changing the subject I asked, "You've been with me for about two hours?"

I saw his face turn the slightest pink, and he took a long sip. "Pixis came to stop the execution of Eren. He's preparing to use him to close the opening in Trost. Eren has the ability to titan shift."

Even though I knew well he said that to change the subject once again, I was shocked. "He can what?"
