Promises

Chapter 1

A/N: This is what Alexis looks like! ^^

~~~Willa's POV~~~

"TYLER!!" I screamed, sitting up in what seemed to be a bed. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked down a my red stained arms. There were bandages on all my wounds. I looked around, "Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the Scouts Infirmary. And you don't have to shout." A voice explained. A man walked in the room and looked at me with concern. He had blue eyes, blonde, slicked back hair, and a blue pendant necklace around his neck.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" I asked.

"I'm Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps. You're dad worked for me as a captain. Captain Sam Barringer, I believe."

"You knew my father....." I said, looking down. Flashbacks of what happened painted my memories. I curled into a ball, tears slipping out of my eyes. The Commander walked over and sat at the end of the bed and looked down.

"I can only imagine what you've seen...." He started, "You don't have to....but I'm here if you want to talk, Willa." He said softly. I stared at nothing.

"I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want some time alone." I murmured. Commander nodded, and stood up, slowly walking out of the room. I laid back down on my side facing the wall, rethinking about what had happened the last couple days. Tears slowly rolled down my face as I drifted into sleep.

***

I opened my eyes. Looking at the wall, I remembered where I was. I sat up and rubbed my puffy eyes. Sighing, I uncovered my body and swung my legs over the left side of the bed. Luckily, there were my boots below the bed so I didn't have to walk around with socks on a wooden floor. I slid my knee high boots on and stood up. A cold breeze blew onto my skin, causing me to shiver. Looking around, still not quite sure where I was, I found a black coat that goes over someone's suit but I took it anyway. Opening the door, I peeked up and down the hall, and stepped out, a big gust of wind blew behind me. I yelped in surprise, hugging the coat tightly around me. I went out into the hallway and made my way down the way to my right. There was a room farther down that had a table, fridge, and sink. I'm guessing it's a type of kitchen. I go in and open the fridge. Barely anything. Although there was an apple. I took it and went into the cabinets, looking for a drink. In one of the cabinets, there was black tea mix. I took it out and got a mug. I filled it with water and dropped a tea bag into the water, watching the brownish black color fill the water. I walked over to the chair and sat down, placing my cup on the table and taking a bite of the apple. It feels like I haven't eaten in forever. I picked up the cup and stared into the now black tea. Footsteps stopped and I looked up to see and small, angry man glaring at me.

"What's up with you, shortstack?" I smirked, sitting back in my chair and taking a sip of the warm tea. I hummed in pleasure, enjoying the warmth. He looked at me in disgust.

"What the hell are you doing, brat?" He snarled.

"What's it look like?" I shot back. Taking another bite of the apple. The shorty looked at me and his nose wrinkled in anger. He marched up to me and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt.

"First of all, what are you doing with my coat on? And second, why are you drinking my tea?" Shorty growled. I shrugged.

"How the hell was I supposed to know it was yours?" I growled back, taking his hands and pushing them off me.

"Levi, take your hands off her." A voice said from behind him. Levi turned and I looked over. It was a girl with a blonde pixie cut. She had a couple scars on her face and an eyepatch over her left eye. She looks pretty beat up. Levi backed up and went over to her. I snickered when I saw the height difference.

"Why? She has my jacket on AND is drinking my tea!" He snapped. Pixie didn't even bat an eye.

"That's the girl Erwin brang in, idiot. She was from Shiganshina when it happened. So leave her alone." She explained. Levi's eyes narrowed as he turned to me, "Now apologize." Pixie patted Levi's shoulder.

"But-"

"Now." She snapped. Levi rolled his eyes and sighed, looking up at me.

"Sorry I guess." He "apologized".

"No Levi."
"What now, eyepatch?" Levi sneered, glaring at her.

"That wasn't good enough. Apologize. And MEAN IT." Pixie pushed him towards me.

"Whatever...." Levi grumbled, walking up to me. He looked up at me.

"Hey there...." I said.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. I sarcastically put my hand up to my ear.

"Oh, what? I don't think I heard you. What'd you say?" I said.

"I'm sorry." Levi said a little louder.

"Still can't hear you..." I started. Levi threw his hands up and started to walk away.

"Forget this bullshit! I'm going now!" Levi gave in. He walked out of the room. Pixie came over to me and scratched the back of her neck.

"Sorry about him......" She apologized. I shook my head and smiled.

"My brother was the same way." I laughed.

"What's your name, anyway?" Pixie asked.

"Willa Barringer. You?"

"Captain Alexis Winters. You can call me Alex for short though." Alexis stated proudly and saluted. I nodded and looked down at the jacket I was wearing. It was surprisingly a little big for me even though Levi is so small. It was also really warm. I gave myself a little smile.

"Can I go meet eat now?" I asked, looking up at her. Alex nodded and led me to where the lunch room is.
