Importance of My Love (Shingeki No Kyojin) *Completed*

Levi POV

Not knowing why, I would always wonder what my life would be like, if Sora had died when HQ caught on fire.. Or if she died die to the deadly disease that was sweeping though by various areas. It is she died in my arms the day I found her. I don't know why I ask myself these questions, but, all I know is if she died, I wouldn't be here myself.

~Flashback~

She has been with us about 9 months. Erwin was never found. No one knew where he went. Searches went for days. Everywhere from the demolished Wall Maria, to the center of the Stohes District surrounded by Wall Sina. Even the underground city was investigated. I went along with Hanji to investigate the house the girl was found in. Her name was identified as Sora Johnson. I was correct that she was 14. No background history was discovered. She wouldn't tell anyone either. She seemed to be traumatized due to the fact her child was stolen, before she could even hold him in her arms.

"I truly feel sorry for that girl. She lost so much. And who knows what else she lost before you discovered her. What ever Erwin done, was hard on her. Though, I'm no sure she had such a good life before that anyway... That place is a dump. Even you could agree with me." Hanji said to me not too long ago. Yeah I agreed with her. Who wouldn't....

Sora remained in the infirmary for maybe 2 mouths. Once she left, she was told to take it easy. But, not having a place to say, Hanji, who was elected as the new commander, and myself 2nd in command, allowed her to live in HQ. Sora didn't have any clothes, or possessions. Hanji took her on a major shopping spree. Sora didn't seem like the dressy type. She even admitted she wasn't. But, that day what ever store they went to, they made much more money than they normally do.

Sora was a quiet girl. She wouldn't talk much, and sometimes she disappeared in the middle of the night... All up until this time of day. I will start with when i discovered where she escaped to each night.

I was awoken by a strange noise coming from my window. I paid no mind to it at first, but when it started up again, I sigh and investigate this awful disturbance.

I look out my window, and spot Sora running around HQ. I wait to see if she comes back. After 5 minutes, she comes back. She doesn't seem to see me. She is panting and sweating. To my surprise, she is wearing the 3DMG on her waist. Why would she do such a thing? It is too pointless... No one runs with that. It's for getting from once place to the other by gliding, not running.

I slowly creep out my window and stand against the walls. When she passes me again, she still doesn't do anything. So, me being my self, I grab her arm. She flinches and moans, as she stops. I realized I grabbed a area of her arm where she was injured or had a lasting impact on her body. I slowly let go and she looks down with regret.

"I'm sorry Corporal. I should have gotten your permission before I took a 3DMG from the chambers." She bows. I don't know why she is calling me corporal because she isn't in the Scouts. I shake my head .

"No need to be sorry. And, stop calling me corporal and just call me Levi. You aren't one of us therefore you don't need to act like someone who is. Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Um... I honestly was surprised I had gotten this far with what I was doing. But, I guess I will tell you. I was training myself."

"Training yourself?" This is actually the first time she has talked this long. All this time, no one thought she ever wanted to say anything to anyone because of what happened. She would only talk to four eyes when she wanted to.

"Yes Corp- um... Levi. I may not be apart of the Scout Regimen, but I would still like to have some type of defense. Underground, I had no defense what so ever. If I did, I could have protected myself against Erwin... And, my goal in life, is to kill that guy. I want to hurt him so bad, and make him die a painful death. I can't do that without a defence.  So please" she does a salute. "Allow me to join me Scouts, and avenge my lost child."

My mind was spinning when she said that. Joining the Scouts because of revenge... It isn't a bad request. Therefore. I nod.
