Past?

ANNIES POV

"It all began in Paradis where I grew up. Even I am confused at this current predicament your bloodline was never capable of completing the titan shift. There where only a few bloodlines with that ability. One being mine, another being eren's, and a few others. With a special serum we where granted a titan form. From birth I was picked to carry on my families titan and so was eren for his family." At the mention of eren Mikasa's face went dark. The loss of her brother and dear friend had not passed her yet.

"I was trained and sent here to find other people like me" I continue excluding facts about Bert and Reiner along with the ape. I look into Mikasa's eyes as she computes what I said. "Why am I a titan and why do I get these visions and dreams?! Why do I thirst for blood and why do I feel like there is something taking over my soul?!" Mikasa asks with rapid succession. Her desperation can be seen behind the confusion within her eyes. "Has eren been though this? Have you?" She continues.

The more she asks the more I am concerned that she would start to ask more dangerous questions. Has her mind driven her that far? Will I be forced to expose my titan and the ones of my comrades? " I'm not sure about eren but I have to a degree. I had someone treat me before it escalated" I say in a calm yet stern voice. I don't want her to panic anymore. Her face changes from desperate to slightly hopeful. "Treatment? You mean this could all just end?" Her voice is airy.

"Yeah but you need to trust me. You might need to do something you would dislike for the rest of your life" I slowly continue to explain before she completely sits still. I can tell her mind was rotating even more possibilities in her mind. We rode in silence to God knows where. "What must I do to get rid of whatever is happening to me?" She whispers.

"Give in" I finally say as everting goes silent again

LEVI'S POV
we reached shingashina but there was nothing but rubble and titans everywhere. I remember the green eyed brat mentioning that their parents had a home here and that he needed to get into a basement there. As his squad continues to survey the area he hears a shout. "Sir I think I found something!" I hastily make my way over and freeze when I see what's caught in the rubble. A neatly woven red scarf. I pick it up carefully and nearly fold it small enough where I can put it in my travel bag. This is bad news. She never leaves without this. Something must be really wrong.

The only good thing about the scarf being here is that we know that Mikasa has been here. I think to myself. "Let's head north away from where the titans are headed." I say as I look down to see faint hooves marked in the dirt. She cannot be dead. If anything she escaped on horseback. My squad continues forward with fire in our eyes. I can't let her be out here alone.

NO ONES POV
as Levi made his way along the path of the trail left by another horse he failed to see the second set next to them. He also did not know that Annie had different plans for Mikasa and their destination. Somewhere only a specific set of individuals know and have been to. As both Levi and Annie make their journeys outside the wall jean makes plans to make sure Levi does not get any closer to Mikasa.
