Petra smiled slightly in returned before she glanced round and caught glimpse of a shadow darting from tree to tree. She gritted her teeth slightly thinking to herself 'why Levi. What happened why has this happened.' She slide her spare hand down the side and she felt the handle of her blade, she had to make the right move at the right time.

Suddenly Levi sprang out of the shadows of the trees and darted towards them she jumped to one side, in front of Auruo and she held her sword out to one side, she swung back making sure she didn't catch Auruo as she lashed her sword at Levi. The sharp blade cutting into his side as he fell backwards onto the ground. "I'm sorry.. Heichou.." She whispered dropping her sword and covering her mouth as tears ran down her cheeks, she knew she hadn't killed him but she had injured him that was for sure.

Auruo's eyes widened. Petora.. Just saved his bloody life! He was amazed with her movements that were so magnificently dignifying. He looked down. He knew how much she adored the corporal and injuring him wasn't her biggest priority. Auruo sighed. Of course. He knew how much she liked him. It broke his heart. Looking at her, he stopped and took her into his arms and hugged her tight. He frowned. "You didn't have to do that.. Petora.. Thank you.."

She placed her head into his chest as she cried silently she was shaking, her whole body was trembling with shock, sadness, all mixed negative emotions. "No need to thank me.. It was what I had to do for my fellow comrade." She said as she looked up at him, her eyes were red from her tears, a couple more tears rolled down her cheek and she sniffed quietly.

Auruo could understand her misery and sorrow- for he had too felt it. Everyday. He let her go, taking her hand and escaping the area. They were almost near the forest as their destination before he heard a grunting Levi with a blade in one hand, covering his rib and looking furious.

She forced herself not to look back as she could hear the distant sounds coming from the wounded Levi. She kept her glance forward as she continued to run, holding Auruo's hand as she did so.

Auruo held onto her hand before stopping once they've reached inside the forest of trees all shapes and sizes. His face regained heat as he looked around. If Levi touched either of them, their beliefs would change. He questioned to go back and see him freely.

"You know my actions have only pissed off.. Heichou, even more so." She said glancing at all the different trees, noticing how not much sunlight could seep through the arching branches of the trees. She was panting slightly from the running and pure shock on everything that has happened.

"Both of our actions have pissed him off. But we can't just let him take our souls and give them up to Lucifer .." Auruo panted before taking a glance at her, "Unless we let him.. I won't let that foul organization take over my body.. Thats inevitable."

 She had a serious look on her face as she nodded her head, she knew he was right and for once she actually fully agreed with him. "Me neither, however we have to catch up the rest of the Survey Corps. We might be holding them back, and I couldn't bare to think of them being attacked."

"We are the only ones who had believed in him.. Aside from all he other Survey Corps members. Right, Petora? And since were the only ones who are the closest to him.. He might be after us-" Auruo came to conclusions. "Eldo and Gunther! And Hange and Irvin!.. Holy shit."

"Right. I'm still trying to get my head around this.." She let out a sigh. "We have to hurry, we have to warn everyone else, before--"

Petra's words trailed off as she stopped walking and suddenly fell to the floor, she didn't move. As the sunlight drifted in for a moment it was revealed, a sword had been thrown into her back, more to her right side.

"PETORA!!" Auruo yelled, louder than he should have. He looked at Levi from afar, twisting another blade in his fingertips. Auruo grabbed her and carried her like a wedding bride. A bridge that had strapped on ropes with a foggy bottom was revealed so he quickly tried running down it. If he fell, it'd be the end for him. Levi smirked and began cutting the ropes at the other end of the bridge.

Petra was unconscious, however her eyes were open, they looked pale, the back of her uniform now a dark crimson from the blood, which trickled down.

P-Petora!" Auruo ripped off a piece of his cape and put pressure on her back towards the cut. Levi laughed under his breath and the rope bridge fell down, causing them both to fall. Auruo shouted, grabbing one of the ropes in time. Levi stood there til the pressure of both of them had caused that rope to snap. Fortunately, he fell, but right before he fell too far- a hand caught him by the wrist. He was hanging on he edge- and here she was.. Saving his life again- even almost barely. He looked up at her, weak, but still capable of hanging on the rope. The rope began to slowly unstrand: 'It won't hold us both..' he thought. He made a grave decision, but decided to tell her something:

"Petora.." He started.

Petra slowly opened her eyes, seeing Auruo. "Hmm?" She winced slightly from her injuries.

She suddenly saw what situation they were in and her eyes widen, she kept hold of his hand.

A height like that to fall from would be a big risk. But the rope would shred if they both hung on. His eyes rolled back to see Levi, staring with no sort of sympathy whatsoever.

Auruo blink a tint of moisture from his eyes and looked up at her and his hand- the rope especially. Petora was light enough to hang on. Even so.. He wanted to catch one last glimpse of her- the angel in his squad. 'Thank you..' He thought towards Petora. His face swelled into a frown. "Petora.." "I'm sorry.."

His hand slowly slithered away, and he let go.

Petra's eyes widen as she watched her fellow comrade fall into the fog abyss. A few tears start to roll down her cheeks. "No.." She says quietly. "No! AURUO!" She shouts his name, only her own voice came back. The echo, felt like a knife had been inserted into her heart, she closed her eyes, tears continued to roll down her cheeks. She was crying silently.

Levi then walked away and threw the blade on the ground.

Mean while, Hange glanced around the forest, with the rest of the squad. "I haven't seen Auruo or Petora.. You think they are okay?" Hange asked, adjusting her spectacles.

Irvin looked away as the blonde had seen it was just them, "We all have to take sacrifices Hange. You do the same." 

Petra continued to look down before she gulped slightly and she smiled to herself. "There was always one thing I was meaning to say to you, Auruo.." She lets her voice echo down before she moves her hand to let go of the rope.

"I love you.." She says as tears rolled down her cheeks as she fell.

"I can't live without--"
