"Lets just hope that day never comes." I reply with a smile dancing on my lips as I turned around. Levi picked up his pace and caught up with me. We let a comforting silence engulf the air between us as we walked back towards the front lines.

As we reached the front lines we quickly mounted onto our horses. I received a new stallion after I'd left mine outside of the walls. As I walked up to her, I brought my hand up to her muzzle and slightly caressed it. She was beautiful, her mane was golden while her skin was a light shade of brown. I moved my hands down towards her reins and used them to directed her towards Levi who was a little farther away.
It didn't take long before the rest of our squad showed up and we all turned towards Erwin who was ready to give us our orders.
"I have received orders that we will be heading back towards Trost and assisting in reclaiming Trost. Hange and Mike , I want your squads on the east side of Trost. Levi, your squad will be the closest to the hole near the south. Everyone else will follow my lead and will spread out between the east and northern part of Trost." Erwin initiated, his voice filled with a sense of curiosity and triumph...which made me grow a bit suspicious of him. What did he find out through that letter.
"Soldiers! Give your hearts! Today will be the day we'll take another step towards victory!" Erwin yelled out towards the large sea of soldiers that let out a war cry as they threw their fists and blades into the air.

It took around 15 minutes before I could spot the tops of Wall Rose enter my plane of view. We were closing in on Trost.

As we grew closer to the large clouds of ash and debris that traveled up into the atmosphere, I could see the gate of Wall Maria as it was still in tact. That means that other Armored Titan that appeared in Shiganshina wasn't here this time, or rather, it hasn't shown itself yet. But why? They had the perfect opportunity to break the gate and Titans would be able to infiltrate Wall Rose as well. What was holding it up? As we closed in on the gate, everyone quickly dismounted and without word, took off to their designated areas.
Our squad was near the front of the brigade so we quickly broke off and headed towards the southern part of Trost. I quickly shot my glance behind me and saw that everyone was together and we were all traveling at a steady pace. Good. Our squad was strong so I wasn't too worried about them; however, anything could happen while in battle. One simple mistake could mean death.
"Oluo, Petra, Gunter, Eld. You four take out any titans near the far south side, father away from the hole. Levi and I will take out the ones that are closer to the entrance." I ordered, turning my head to the side--catching a quick glimpse of them behind me.
"Understood Lieutenant!" The four yelled simultaneously before taking off in that direction leaving Levi and I alone. I watched as their figures slowly grew smaller with each passing second.
"Since when did you start making the calls?" Levi's stoic voice caused me to turn back to look at him as he watched the other four move across town as well.
"Someone's got to pick up your slack." I tease, letting a small smirk fill my lips.
"Don't kid yourself. You can barely even wake up before noon without me pulling you out of bed." Levi retorted as he turned his gaze towards me. My eyes slightly widen at his statement, but soon fell as a pout filled my lips.
