Soldier With Wings of Freedom

Human Titan Part 3

I walked down the hall after our meeting lost in thought. I walked past the storage room and I heard voices. I turned around confused and I walked into the storage room. I stopped and smiled as Charlie was telling a story. Sara was sitting on a crate next to a stack of them with Elizabeth sitting on the floor in front of her. Stan was sitting on a crate across from them as Cole was sitting on the ground in between them. Charlie was leaning on a crate telling a story as they surrounded a lantern.

"The ghost then attacked one of the Captains and was scared so bad that he almost killed himself but his friend stopped him. The Commander was so scared hearing what happened and they decided to move HQ to were it is now. They say that this castle is still haunted and the ghost of the soldier is still looking for Titans and humans to kill."

"Y-Yeah right!" Sara said a little scared. She was trying to hide the fact she was scared, but I could tell she was.

"Just wait tonight the ghost will appear in your room," Charlie said with an evil smirk on his face. He looked over at Elizabeth and she looked up at him showing no emotion.

"Are you scared Rookie?" he asked.

"No, But I do have a question." She said and his smirk disappeared.

"What is it?"

"I was just wondering... What is Melissa afraid of? Everyone seems afraid of Captain Levi but her?" She asked and Charlie looked over at Stan for him to answer.

"That is a good question. She has been close with Captain Levi and Commander Erwin long before I joined the Scouting Legion." He said as he looked at the lantern.

"I was part of the same Training squad as Captain... And I think it was our second Expedition when Levi joined..." She said and her face looked sad as she remembered it.

"What happened on the Expedition? I heard it was one of the worst ones in history?" Cole asked.

"What?!" Elizabeth asked surprised.

"It was one of the worst... I lost my best friend on that Expedition..." Sara said and the room went quiet.

"Wait, what happened on that mission?" Elizabeth asked confused and no one answered.

"Those of us who survived that mission and that are still alive today do not like talking about it," I said as I walked forward. Everyone jumped scared when they heard me. I walked up next to Sara's crate and I looked at her.

"I never heard your experience from that mission Sara, I know what it was like... I'm sorry that we lost Karie she was a good soldier." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks, Captain... But I should be apologizing to you," she said and I looked at her confused.

"Why are you apologizing? I asked.

"For all the time's I bullied you." She said and everyone looked at us weird.

"It's alright it's in the past," I said and she didn't respond.

"Melissa? How are you friends Captain Levi?" Elizabeth asked and the rest of the team looked at her surprised.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"You get along with him... Everyone is afraid of him but you." She said and I started thinking about it. I remembered when Levi tried killing Erwin and I had cut my hand holding the blade back. I looked at my hand and I looked at the scar where I cut my hand. It wasn't really noticeable unless you really look at it.

"Never-mind!" Elizabeth quickly said and I looked up to see that my team was nervous. I looked at them confused and someone walked next to me and I saw Levi looking at me.
