The Pain Made Me Strong ~ Levi x Reader

Chapter 4

Y/n’s POV- 

     I had been sitting, surveying the cell and listening for any sign of noise for about thirty minutes, growing more and more bored the longer I sat there. I had noticed that I was not in my belts, boots, jacket, or cape anymore, they were sitting on a table on the other side of the cell, I was just in my white button up, white pants, and the silver brooch I had pinned to the collar of my shirt my mother used to wear.

     My father’s gear was nowhere to be seen, they most likely were going to find out who it belonged to, believing I had illegally obtained it. Just then I heard a door creak open and a couple pairs of footsteps began to echo throughout the walls of the corridor outside of my cell. 

     Not to my surprise at all, when the people came in to view it was none other than eyebrows and shorty themselves, now standing outside of my cell, eyebrows holding onto my fathers gear. I rolled my eyes and looked at them, waiting for them to start spewing questions at me that I did not want to answer.

     “Who is F/n (father’s name) L/n and why do you have his gear?” I heard Eyebrows ask.

     I stayed silent, earning a ‘tch’ from the short man. “Well if you do not want to answer that question, what about your name?” Eyebrows asked.

      I continued my silence, uninterested in cooperating till I was taken out of this cell and allowed to make sure my village was safe. My silence obviously angered the shorter man he stomped closer to the cell and kicked the bars, grabbing onto them in the process. 

     “Answer him brat!” he spat.

     “Calm down Levi, she’ll talk when she wants to,” Eyebrows said.

     Wait, Levi, as in ‘Humanities Strongest’ Levi? “Levi? You’re the Levi whose name is always going around the streets in conversation? I mean I heard you were small, but I never guessed you were this short,” I said with a chuckle.

     “Tch, brat just start answering the questions,” Levi said, obviously annoyed by my calling him short.

     “Sorry I don’t really want to talk to the person who gave me this huge bruise on my face, it hurts like hell you know?” 

     “You were running from the military, I had the right to knock you unconscious, now if you keep avoiding our questions I’ll come in there and give you another one.”

     I sigh, knowing they were going to sit here and pester me till I finally just confessed to who I was, I guess it was strange to find a fifteen year old has been training herself since the age of twelve to be a soldier.

     “Fine, my name is Y/n L/n, F/n L/n is my father, he used to be a member of the Survey Corps as I am sure you already know. When he found out my mom was pregnant, he retired, somehow he managed to keep his gear and everything he owned from the military, such as soldier’s handbooks and uniforms. He died about four or five years back from alcohol poisoning. My mother died soon after that by killing herself using my fathers gear, which he had hid in a closet. I was twelve at the time. Having no one left I decided I would train myself to be a soldier like my father. I used his handbooks and taught myself to use the gear, kill titans, and even hand to hand combat. For the past three years I progressed my skills as far as I could get them, when I heard the loud noises and screams from Shiganshina I decided I had to fight, even if I ended up dead or caught by the military,” I explained.

     “Well Y/n L/n, your work out there was quite impressive, it is quite a shock to find out you were only fifteen, and even more shocking to know that you trained yourself. We need more soldiers like you to join the Survey Corps,” Eyebrows said.
