Chapter 23: The Ripper

[warning: chapter contains sexual assault]

"But now we also know that someone is watching us from on high, and not for friendly reasons."

Later that afternoon, the existing squad earning the title of Levi's name gathered around the table as they've all eaten their dinners and now enjoying a cup of warm tea. Hanji sat on a plush chair off to the side as one solider welcomed herself in. Unveiling her hood, the woman with strawberry colored hair approached Levi who was seated at the head of the table.

"Captain Levi, there's word from Commander Erwin." The female handed him a price of folded paper. "I meant to tell him about Pastor Nick, but he sent me right back with this. Levi began to scan the contents of the letter. As soon as he reached the bottom of the note, his eyes narrowed.

"Everyone out, we're not safe here." Standing up he declared. "Leave no trace of our presence."

Clothed in dark neutral colored thick cloaks, all who resided at the house carried a bag of their personal belonging over their backs as they all peered over the small cliff that over looked the temporary house that was being raided by military with torches in their hands.

You held a rifle at your side, so did everyone else. "What would've happened to us if we hadn't left immediately?" Connie inquired as he dazed off at the wooden cabin swarming with men.

"But how did Commander Erwin-" Armin was soon cut off by Levi.

"New orders came from the government," He began. "The Survey Corps are banned from venturing outside the wall." You all directed your attention to the Captain in concern. "And we're to hand over Eren, Historia, and Y/N."

Your eyes widened in complete disbelief. What?! You're kidding...

"Immediately after he gave me that message, the military police arrested Commander Erwin." The strawberry haired girl named, Nifa, added her input.

"Why are they treating him like a criminal?" You asked.

"Someone who isn't working from the shadows anymore. They don't care who sees them." Levi stated directing his attention to you and Hanji.

"They must all want to protect the walls' secrets at all cost." The brunette woman added. "But what could the want from Eren and Historia? On top of that, Y/N? What are they planning to do with her? Her Titan abilities have evaporated away. I could see killing all of them but if that's the case, why didn't they end Y/N's life when they had the chance to?"

"Who knows..." Levi responded.

"When they captured me," You began as you tightly gripped the riffle due to the horrid memories surfacing. "The man said that they needed to purify the vessel for use later on. The vessel was me."

Eren's jewel like eyes shot widen opened at the gruesome things you've encountered. "At least it's clear that the enemy is after these three..." Levi stated. "We shouldn't stay around here any longer. We are moving Eren, Y/N, and Historia to Trost." The mention of Trost attracted everyone's attention.

"Why move them to the city where Pastor Nick was killed?" Moblit asked in deep concern.

"We need to stay away from the interior. With Trost in panic, it should be easy to slip in. And if it becomes necessary, we can use these more freely in the city." Levi revealed the gear that was strapped on to his waist that was covered by the thick long coat.
