Not Forgotten

Chapter 1

     They're back. The Survey Corps. The crowd chatted happily.  

     "Everyone seems to be in a good mood," I said. A single soldier caught my eye. Levi Ackerman. I pushed through the crowd and ran in front of his horse. 

     "Hello, big brother," I said to him. 

     "Wow, Levi," Hanji said with a laugh. "Your fans are taking things pretty far." 

    "I'm not a fan. I'm Lelia Ackerman." 

    "LEVI! I didn't know you had a daughter!" 

     "I...do not..." Levi tried to explain. "I do not know her." 

     "I'm your little sister," I explained. Hanji jumped off her horse and walked over to me.  

     "You look a lot like him. Just taller," she walked around me. "How old are you?"  

     "Fifteen." 

     "Where are you from?" 

     "Shiganshina," Someone tugged on my cadet jacket, pulling me back into the crowd. It was Mikasa. 

     "Idiot!" she hissed. 

     "No fair!" Eren exclaimed. "You got to talk to the Survey Corps!"  

     "Wait!" Hanji yelled. "I have more questions!" 

     I slowly turned around. "Oh...uh...sure." 

     "Hanji!" Levi yelled. "Let's go!" 

     "Just a minute!" Hanji yelled back. 

     "Fine." 

     Hanji turned to look at me. "So, Lelia, why does Levi not know you?" 

     "He didn't live with us," I replied. 

     "Okay...who is 'us'?" 

     "Mom and me." 

     "And where is your mom?" 

     "Dead." 

     An awkward silence fell between us. "Well," Hanji said. "I think my minute is up. It was nice to meet you, Lelia." 

     "Eren, are you okay?" I heard Armin ask. I turned to see Eren freaking out. Mikasa had a hand on his jacket, keeping him from running towards Hanji.

     "It's...the...Survey...Corps," Eren stuttered.

     "Was that really your brother?" Mikasa asked.

     "Yes," I replied.

     "He's more than twice your age," Armin pointed out.

     "I know."

     "I don't think he believes you."  

     "Well," I said. "He's actually my half-brother. We have different fathers." 

     "That makes more sense."  

     "So, why haven't you told him about being brother and sister sooner?" Eren asked. 

     "I couldn't get a chance to talk to him," I replied. "Every time I would get close to him someone would start talking to him." 

     "So why didn't-" Eren started, but I cut him off. 

     "Could we please stop with the questions?" 

     "Are you actually my sister?" a voice behind me asked. I turned and saw Levi standing behind me. Eren started to freak out again. 

     "Yeah," I nodded. "Different fathers but same mother."

     "Why haven't I heard of you?" 

     "Again with the questions," I muttered under my breath. 

     "What?" Levi asked. 

     "Nothing. Anyway, the reason you haven't heard of me is simple. I'm a cadet and you're a captain. A captain in the Survey Corps."

     He didn't reply.

     "Captain Levi!" Eren exclaimed. Mikasa covered his mouth with her hand.  

     "Ignore him," Armin said. "He's crazy."

     "What branch of the military are you planning to join?" Levi turned back to me.

     "The Survey Corps," I replied.

     "I wouldn't advise that."

     Behind Mikasa's hand Eren screamed. "Captain Levi!"

     "Shut up!" Mikasa hissed.

     Levi turned and looked at Eren. "Who are you again?"

     Eren's face lit up and he removed Mikasa's hand. "Eren Jaeger, sir."

     "Jaeger."

     "Yes, sir?" Eren asked, excitedly.

     "Shut up."  

     "Yes, sir."
