Never Forgotten (Levi X OC Fanfiction)

Chapter 48

Gwen's POV

"What's that father? Why are there titans below us?" asked a 12 year old girl with brown hair and turquoise eyes in fear.

"A syringe," replied the middle aged man, ignoring the other question.

"A syringe?" the girl scrunched her nose, "What's in it?"

"Titan spinal fluid," the man answered truthfully.

I was standing ontop of a wall, watching the two individuals from a near distance. I surveyed the vast area of sand with titans roaming, then I turned around-

It was glimmering and wide-the ocean. It's real!

But why am I here? Where are the Survey Corps?

I turned my attention back to the girl and the father as I hear my name mentioned.

"Just follow me, alright Gwen?"

That's when I realized that little girl was me, and the man was my father, Grisha Yeager. But what's happening?

Little me nodded and closed her eyes as father injected the syringe in me.

"Gah!" the little girl shouted. "It hurts-"

Her sentence was cut off as Grisha kicked her small body off the wall.

"Father! Help me-" she landed in the sand with a big thud, catching a titan's attention. "No father, please don't do this!" She yelled in agony as she looks straight into her father's eyes.

His eyes watered with tears, full of regrets. "I'm sorry, but it's for the best my beloved daughter. One day, you'll save the world, free everyone from hell." Loud thumps are heard approaching the two individuals.

"The outside world looks so beautiful." She said shakingly as a titan reaches for her, small, frail, 12-year old body.

"I will always love you." Those were the last words she heard from her father before he abandons her to a titan-

She closed her eyes as the large hand carries her all the way to its mouth.

I widened my eyes, clasping my hand over my mouth as I muffled screams through tears.

Grisha dragged an elongated bag and slowly unzipped it.

"What's in that?" I muttered curiously, taking two steps forward.

A corpse of a woman.

W-w-what has father been doing this whole time?

The ground rumbled, making me turn my attention to the hoard of titans. My eyes widened as a titan emerged from the titan that ate my 12 year old self. It was just an ordinary looking titan. . .then father tossed the corpse off the wall and caught the brunette titan's attention.

It picked up the corpse and bit off her head, then half of her body, then swallowed the remaining parts. . .then few seconds later the titan collapsed, steam surrounding it, until it's body was no longer visible.

Then lighting struck. The other titans divert their attention and started running for the commotion.

Then a war cry erupted. I covered my ears as I observed Grisha with a prideful look on his face.

A female titan with a well built, athletic body stood 13 meters tall; brown hair and green eyes.

"T-t-that's me?" I said unsurely.

Then she noticed the titans approaching her. She bumped her fists against each other as crystal covered her knuckles.

"That's just like when I fought the blonde female titan. . ." I mumbled.

Then the titan got into a running position as armored shells started covering her knees down to her legs.

"Those are like the armored titan's. . ." I said in shock and amazement.

Then the brunette titan sends a loud war cry once again, making all the titans stop in their tracks-

Then all titans bowed before her.

----

My eyes opened, a binding light meets my eye. I touched my face to feel dried tears.

Was it all just a dream? No, it was not a dream, it's a part of my memory.

Why am I in the infirmary?

I scanned the room and saw a raven haired man turning his back to me, about to walk away.

Then a scene of Grisha feeding me to the titans suddenly flashed.

I quickly grabbed Levi's hand before he got farther. "P-p-please don't leave me, L-Levi."

Then he stiffened, slowly turning around. His cold eyes met mines, then it softened.

"You're awake. . ." he said softly, a hint of concern in his voice.

I chuckled nervously and struggled to sit upright. Levi quickly approached back and placed his hand behind my body for support, after getting me to sit, he sat back on his seat.

"But Four Eyes said you'll probably wake up in a year," he said, then mumbled quietly just enough for me to hear. "It's not like I'm gonna complain."

"What hapenned?" I asked, "Why am I in here?"

"Tch," Levi clicked his tongue. "You went to the forest alone, luckily Arion was smart enough to find me- us," he paused. "Then we found you in titan form, fighting the Armored Titan."

Tha's when I started remembering every events that brought me here.

"Oh, right. . ." I trailed off. "How long was I out?"

"A week," he replied stoicly.

"That leaves us 2 months and three more weeks before the expedition!" I noted, "Why are you here? You should be preparing."

"I just arrived," Levi replied. "I took over Niyuri for awhile, he'll be back later."

I only nodded and leaned against the wall.

"What were you doing in the forest?" Levi asked.

I turned to him and studied his emotionless face. "There was a cabin in the center, Hiruka told me it was my private place." Then I chuckled, "Strange though, I remembered a part where I told myself that I'd bring you there someday."

Levi's eyes slightly widened, "It must broken down. It got caught up in the fight perhaps."

"Yeah. . ."

We talked for hours, mostly I did the talking while he just sat boredly. Until night came, a knock came from the door.

"Corporal Levi," it was Hiruka. He opened the door and went inside, a shocked expression on his face. "Gwen, you're awake!"

Levi stood from his chair and walked to the door, "I'll be leaving now." Then the door closed shut.
