VIA'S POV:

I opened my eyes to a figure standing over my bed. My eyes were adjusted to the darkness but the figure was still shadowy. My throat was dry but I spoke anyway.

"Are you going to kill me?" My tone showed none of my true concern for my life.

I saw the figures slate eyes widen. Had he thought I was already dead.

He spoke, "Not if you dont want me to kill you." His voice was monotoned and deep.

The feeling of hope rushed over me could this person help me?

I wanted to get out of the poisonous room I was in imediatly. My voice sounded hoarse but I still spoke.

"Can you get me out of here?"

The figure came closer to my bedside. I could see that he in fact was wearing  black clothing with straps all over his body and an armored breast plate.

He seemed sympathetic to my need to leave this place and asked.

"Where do you want to go?"

I replayed, "Somewhere sunny away from people."

He nodded, "Can you walk?" His voice was still monotoned.

I shook my head (no)

He took the blanket that covered my body off and saw that I was restrained by metal bars that pinned me down. One bar was over my neck, one on each waist, two at my ankles and two on my upper thighs and there were two metal balls that covered my hands and prevented me from moving them. I looked down at my body. I was thin as can be. My skin was shriveled and pale in the dark room. I was wearing a night gown that went to my knees but was raised to my thighs because of the restraints.

The man didnt speek he only looked for a way to free me. My heart was racing with excitement I couldn't believe was he really helping me? Was he really going to set me free?

He shuffled around the room eventually finding a key in a desk. He came back to my bed side and unlocked my restraints. First my neck and waist I sat up and let him unlock my hands then I unlocked my self the rest of the way.

I stretched my fingers my joints felt creaky and sore. I swung my legs over the bed and grabbed the sheet to wrap around myself.

I asked the man, "What is your name?"

He responded, "Captain Levi."

He sure seemed like a soldier to me. I looked up at him standing over me, "My name is Olivia but most people call me Via."

He crouched down in front of me, "Well can you walk now?"

"No I cant."

"Tch." Was his reply

He picked me up holding me bridal style. I shifted in his arms to pull the sheet over my face and body like a cloak. I didnt want anyone to see me like this. I didnt want anyone to see me as weak.

He tightened his grip on me holding me closer to him, "god your heavy."

I smirked to myself. Thinking it funny that eventhough I was a scrawny vision of my formal self that I was still heavy. Of course I new why I was hevy. But it was none the less amusing to me.
((A/n): explanation soon promise)

He walked me out of the room into a dark hallway. The hallway ended in stairs that lead down. Levi continued to walk for several minutes. I assumed the building I was in was large, maybe a castle. Soon we reached a large door. Captain Levi opened the door and sunlight flooded onto my face. It was so bright outside. It must have been midday because I could hear people hustling about. I quickly covered my face with my makeshift cloak to avoid being seen. Captain Levi continued to walk untill I heard the click clak of horse hooves.

Captain Levi commanded someone, "Hange come help me with this."

Captain Levi handed me off to someone. I peaked through my sheet and saw a brunett with glasses that was quizzically looking at me. I covered my face again. My eyes had adjusted to the light but I didnt want this person to see me. Hange handed me off to Captain Levi who was now on a horse.

Captain Levi, "Hange get on a horse and follow me."

This didnt sound to good to me. Where they going to kill me in the woods? Who was this Hange? Where were they going to take me? I peaked through my sheet again to see people who were wearing the same uniform as Captain Levi. The soldiers which is what they must have been were doing many things moving supplys in crates picking up debris and putting it in cars. There must have been a battle here, I thought. I must have been to late to stop the war. I felt sad for my failure to my best friend who I had promised something to a long time ago.

I was being held by Captain Levi in a rather unusual way. He was still carrying me bridal style but now we were on a horse. And he was holding the horses reins. I didnt try to move however because I was not in a state to complain if this Levi guy really was saving me.

Eventually the city turned into forest and I took my hood off. I wanted to see where we were. We reached a stream surrounded by boulders and pebbles. I could see the shimmering water trickling through the forest. Levi dismounted with me still in his arms and walked twords the stream. He layed me down on the pebbly side of the stream where there was a patch of sun through the trees. I was happy that this guy had done what I had asked without many questions. I didnt quite feel like talking with my sore throat.

Levi stood over me and I had gotten the first good look at his face since we met. He had jet black hair with an undercut that suited his angular face. His slate eyes shown light grey in the sunlight as they stared down at me. His face was almost angelic.

I quickly was revolted at the fact that he was staring at me in my ugly rasin like form. I frowned, "Are you going to kill me now?"

His eyebrows knotted for a moment and he replyed, "Do you want me to kill you or something?"

"No I was just wondering, what are you going to do with me?"

Levi gestured to Hange, " Well Hange over here is going to watch you while I go back to work."

I was confused as to why this was happening.

Hange spoke quizkclly, "Oh well if that's what I'm going to do all day you should have told me to bring snaks."

Hange dismounted and Levi walked over to her and had a conversation of which I could hear nothing.

Hange came over and sat by me. I had already spread my self out taking the sheet off of my body and absorbing all of the sunlight that was availabul to me. It felt nice. If felt nice to feel the sun warm my skin again. That feeling prevented me from caring much what this person thought of my current state.

I heard a horse ride off and guessed Levi had left. I turned my attention to Hange, "Hello, my name is Olivia but most people call me Via"

Hange smiled and looked at me, "Levi tells me your a Titan. Is that true?"

I looked at her sideways she wasnt scared of me at all.

She reached her hand out for mine and said, "Oh and my name is Zoe Hange but you can call me Hange."

I looked at her not really wanting to answer her question, "Yes I am a Titan."

She looked pleased and claps her hands, "Great, so can I  ask you some more questions then?"

(A/n): tell me what you think...
