The Pain Of Falling Asleep

The ground rumbled from the hoofbeats of his black stallion. He looked behind him and saw the damned titan still chasing him. He thought it would have just given up by now. "It must be a damned abnormal to follow me this far. However, I am curious into why it has yet to try to eat me." Through the thick fog he saw Erwin's squad waiting. "Erwin! Get Hanji! This titan is definitely abnormal-" He was cut off when he heard Hanji. "Are you saying I can actually capture a titan Levi?!" He just scoffed then heard the titan get closer. "Fuck. You stay bastard make a move and you're dead. Yes now get the traps ready four-eyes!" As soon as I passed by Erwin my horse slid. Suddenly I didn't hear or see anything. Just blackness.

He awoke with a sharp gasp. "God, I hate that fucking dream." He rubbed his hand through hair noticing it was wet with sweat. He noticed recently he's been having less and less dreamless or good sleep. Maybe his Insomnia was getting worse. He shook his head and got up out of the bed.

When he reached the washroom he noticed that he wasn't alone. A girl? What would a girl be doing in the men's washroom? "Oi, you're not supposed to be in here this is the men's washroom." No answer. This annoyed him. "Oi, did you hear me?" He walked up to her, only to find her skin a familiar deadly pale. "Tch." He rolled her over to identify the cadet. He didn't even recognize her. Getting up Levi heading to Erwin's office to inform him.

~Meanwhile with (y/n)~

The ground was it's usual coldness. Getting up you look around, seeing only one or two people out. "I wonder what time it is." You mostly muttered to yourself. Walking over to the edge of the alley you look around holding your knife in your hand for protection. "Hey kid what are you doing out this late? Don't you know this isn't a good area?" You stood still listening to where the voices came from. "Oi we were talking to you." They were located 80 degrees southwest near the old collapsed building only approximately 3 meters away from you. Giving you around 30 seconds to make up a innocent excuse. 2 minutes and 15 seconds to kill them. Or 1 minute and 45 seconds to run away. Last option may not come in handy. "I heard you." You said coldly, being careful not to show emotion. "Ah, boys so she does speak. What does a girl think she's doing near our turf?" You zoned out their little conversation to make a quick decision. You looked around noticing a rope, a barrel, and a mug of water. It would take long to make a believable distraction and explanation at the same time. Grabbing the mug you tilted every which way. "Looks to me you have been trying to steal alcohol from the bar, by replacing the owner's cup of waiting beer with water." You leaned up against the barrel and looked towards them. "Who do you think you are?" You didn't have to sniff the air to smell the alcohol in the air mixed with bread. "Stealing the baker's bread and the bar owner's beer. Hm, not bad. I would think you try to steal something better than beer." You heard a low growl. "I asked who you were not what you fucking think." You smirked. "You should know of the nickname, already around here. 'The Silent Siren'. The again you're too fucking dumb to even realize what I am doing." You suddenly heard shuffling of feet running approximately 10 mph, guessing that he was probably just a kid or teen. When the footsteps got closer I rolled the barrel over with my foot knocking down the boy. "Tch, idiot." Hearing a scoff you looked at him and watched as he tried to stand. You didn't give him the chance though. "Listen here boy I can go where the hell I want to and if I were you I would stop bothering the bar owner's beer. Cause look what mess that got you in." You could feel him shiver from your harsh and cold voice. "A-alright guys let's go sort this out at base." You took your foot off of his back letting him go. "Tch. I hate living in a place full of idiots." A sad frown then found it's way to your face when you remembered his last words to you. Those words that left you like this. Those words that still shook you at the core.

~Back with Levi~

"Levi, you're sure the person was dead?" He just nodded his head. "She was a deadish pale Erwin. Plus she was cold. If we don't move her somewhere she'll start to rot and make the washroom disgusting." Erwin sighed. This wasn't the first time someone had committed suicide in the Survey Corps. It was the first time someone didn't did it at HQ and not on mission. "Tch, I guess she couldn't wait till the next mission." Erwin's eyes widened. "Levi! Don't say such things!" He just scoffed. "You know people commit suicide once they realize this branch isn't for them and they decide to feed themselves to titans. I've seen it." Erwin clenched his fists. "Get out! Now Levi!" Levi just furrowed his brows then walked out and walked tot he kitchen to fix himself some tea.

He was just about to put the hot steaming cup up to his lips when Jeager came rushing in. "Corporal sir!" He sighed in annoyance putting his cup down. "Spit it out." The cadet swallowed the lump in his throat. "T-there's a dead g-" He 'tched' in annoyance. "I know Jeager I have already informed the Commander now go back to bed." The cadet hesitated before stepping out. Once he did Levi relaxed and lifted the cup to his lips hearing a soft knock on the door. "Oh what the fuck now!" He said in loud annoyance, slamming his cup down on the table careful not to spill it. The door opened to small fragile Armin. "Erwin wanted me to give this report to you. He said something about you knowing how to deal with this." He yanked the folder from Arlert's hands. "Tch. I see. She doesn't have a name. Hm, 'The Silent Siren' huh? No age. This is a short report. Arlert did Erwin tell you anything about his intentions with her?" It was silent until he heard the boy clear his throat. "Um, no sir he didn't all he said was to give this to you then get back to him about it tonight in what we should do about her." Levi nodded his head at Armin. "You may leave. Go back to bed." Armind raised a brow until Levi gave him a glare that sent him running out the door. "Huh, finally." Again raising the cup up to his lips he was finally able to take a soothing sip of his black tea with a pinch of lavender. When he finished the drink he washed the cup and headed up to his office to look more into this 'Silent Siren'.

After looking through the report about 5 times he closed the folder and sat there thinking. 'Surprisingly enough she sounds familiar. I don't know where I would know her from. Her appearance sounds familiar. (h/c) pulled into a braided hair crown (or if you have short hair then just styled in a fancy manor). Wears a black cloak and long hand made dress that can be maneuvered in. Also wears riding boots with a tank top and black pants. What I don't get though is how she is a highly wanted criminal but not for stealing, but for murder.' He soon found himself slipping into an unwanted darkness he hated, called sleep. He saw her. She was running away from him in a familiar city. The buildings creaking and some breaking under our steps. The lightness in her step let him know she was intelligent enough in how to get around in this city. Before he could grab the hem of her cloak she dropped down into a hole that lead to who knows where. He decided to follow her lead. When he landed in the hole it was dark. That is until he saw a little shimmer of something flying past his face. It was a knife. He grabbed it then realized it was a distraction because he heard running. "Damn it." he whispered. It wasn't really a whisper since it echoed of the walls quite loudly in the tunnel. He ran in the direction she went and found a far jump that went down or across. If she jumped over this that would be a miracle. He looked around and saw her climbing up a ladder on the wall. He quickly walked over to the ladder and climbed up it. Right when she was in his reach he slipped and fell. Leaving her to look down at him with horror and satisfaction. "Help! I don't wanna die!" She just turned back around and hesitantly kept climbing.

Levi shot awake breathing heavily. "I hate the pain of falling asleep." He looked over at sky at assumed it was around lunch time. It was time to make a decision. He needed to find out who this person is but he also didn't want to do anything troublesome just for a damn woman. That is until he looked and saw something in tiny print. A name. "No- it couldn't be.. is this how I know her?"
