Chapter 14: moving forward

                                    

                                          
(Y/n) pov
It had only been a couple of hours since everything happened. I didn't talk to Levi or anyone. I just sat next to Armin and Sasha unconscious body waiting for either one to wake up. Armin woke up with a jolt. "A-armin?" I softly spoke. "Big sister?" Armin looked around. "W-what happened?" I didn't answer and just hugged him. "You idiot. Don't scare me like that again." I spoke with tears in my eyes. "Armin!" I heard Eren approaching and also joined in the hug.
We let go of him as Levi came. "Oh you're awake Armin. What do you remember?" Levi spoke as Armin looked around. "I remember Bertholdt became a Titan. Where's the others?" Levi looked at Eren. "Eren tell him everything." Levi shot the green flair and as Eren explained everything everyone else came. 
"So up to speed, Armin?" Levi spoke as Eren finished explaining. Armin had a shocked expression. "Are you telling me the Scout Regiment... is the ten of us here?" I nodded at him. "They've been looking for survivors but none yet. The battle has been over for four hours already." I softly spoke not wanting to scare Armin anymore. "S-so we sealed Shiganshina... then bertholdt was captured. T-the other titans escaped. Then there was a dispute about using the syringe on me or the commander." Armin expression was both of shock and horror. 
I gently put my hand on his shoulder to try and comfort him. "Why did you pick me? I mean no matter what way you looked at it the commander was a better option." Armin spoke. "Well your two friends here and your sister thought otherwise and were prepared to fight." Levi said kicking Eren slightly. "But the choice was mine at the end." 
"I thought we should've chosen Erwin if we're being brutally honest." Hanji spoke up. "It was a shame we even had to be put in that position but Levi chose you. Erwin life and the Titan powers rest on your shoulders." Armin was still in shock. "Does this mean I have to be his replacement. There's no way I could..." I put my hand in Armin head and made him look at me. "You might not see it but everyone else here can. Armin you have a gift like no other." I softly smiled at him.
"I don't regret my decision and you shouldn't make them regret it either or even yourself." Levi said. Just then Sasha moved around slightly and groaned our. "Shut up!" This caused Hanji to chuckle. "Seems we're no match against Sasha. Well if it's not a problem for Armin, we should get going. Levi, Eren, Mikasa, and I are going to investigate the basement. The rest of you stay up here." We all nodded at Hanji and they left.
I already knew why they wouldn't want me to go. Ever since Ashley and Evelyn revealed themselves they've been on edge with me. And yet I was able to get engaged with Levi. But if my memories are correct they should find something about me in there. "Big sis." Armin voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "W-what exactly are you?" He looked at me. I gently placed my hand on top of his. "I may not have the appearance of the (Y/n) you once knew and I don't blame you if you look at me differently. But regardless of everything you're still my family. Everyone here is that to me." I gently smiled at him. "I'll explain everything when we go back. I don't want to explain everything twice just know I'd never hurt my family."

We came back after they investigated the basement and I could tell they learned about the other part of humanity. Eren and Mikasa were serving time so me and Armin slept outside of their cells. Eren had woke us up when he screamed. I looked at him and he was crying. "Where am I? Who am I?" Armin was quick to respond. "You're serving time for insubordination. You just said who am I?" I analyzed Eren. "You saw your dads memories, huh?" Eren sat on the ground and wiped his tears and nodded. "It was her. Dina Fritz."
Eren begun to explain his dream. With Grisha and the titan shifter before him. Eren Krueger. The connections between all subjects of Ymir. How long titan shifters live. Same news to me.

A couple days passed and of course it was time for everyone to know everything. About the truth of the world. I was surprised Queen Historia wanted it to be shared. But I understood it. She wanted everyone to know the truth about what was once taken from them. Then attention was brought onto me. Just as I expected Grisha had written about me. The girl who had saved him from outside the walls then years later found me as a tinier version inside the walls with no memory of him.
In a room filled with all the higher ups with the people I learned to become my friends and family I stood up. "It may sound hard to believe when I say this. But it's up to you wether or not you believe me. But I have the ability to reincarnate myself." I could see everyone looking at me and analyzing me to see if I was lying or not. I put a hand to my necklace. 
I clenched my fist remembering the memories but let go and sighed. "My powers are something I can't properly explain to you but it's something that I can use to reincarnate myself. Which is why I was different from when I was born to now. I am no threat the humanity here. I lived two lives before this one. One filled with loneliness, misery and rage. Then the second of betrayal and leadership. Then this third one with happiness, love, and war."
The meeting was concluded and as we all left I sat near the windowsill in mine and Levi shared room. I was still surprised Levi never took back the ring on my finger. "You still got more shit on your mind?" Levi voice startled me slightly. I looked at him and sighed. "Why haven't you broken off the engagement?" I wanted to get it over with so I just asked it. "Why would I do that?" I looked over at Levi slightly surprised. "Well I mean with what I am and such."
Levi looked at me and sat on our bed. "So you remember many years ago when I was in the underground." I nodded at him. "Yes you and Farlan was it?" Levi sighed. "So then you can answer me why you went there in the first place." I looked outside the window up at the sky. A bright and sunny day. "Being up here was something I did everyday and mostly everyone up here did as they always do and turned a blind eye to the underground. I got curious one day and wanted to check it out but as it would be if I had grown up in that area." I lightly smiled. "I remember when you saw me you picked me out almost immediately." 
"Well even though you were trying your best to fit in I could still tell you didn't belong there." Levi spoke. "Then why'd you leave? And I'm not just saying the underground but disappear completely then reincarnate yourself?" I sighed at Levi's question. "I left because I knew it wasn't my place. Mine or Evelyn or even Ashley place to try and lead this humanity. When I was a captain and met Erwin he made me rethink everything. I trusted him to lead the scouts and as far as us disappearing there were matters outside the walls." 
"Grisha Jeager?" I nodded at Levi. "I didn't exactly know what was coming but I knew I had to leave these walls. But now I understand everything." I looked at Levi again. "I just don't understand why you still want to marry me." Levi looked at me and spoke. "You're right I probably should've broken off the engagement but I can't and I won't. Believe it or not you're the only person that I've felt so strongly about. I want you to be my wife for as long as I live." 
Looking into Levi eyes I could tell he meant it. 
~short time skip~
The wedding wasn't anything big with only Levi squad and Hanji there watching. I mean everyone was handling the news but even so I got married to Levi. Soon after we were able to go see the sea. Riding on the horses and being able to go far past the walls my memories kept coming. In my second life when I jumped down from the walls that subjects of Ymir were created into titans. Then past it was the sea.
It was fun to see everyone reaction especially Armin. Levi stood back while everyone else played in the water and Jean and Sasha learned the hard way of getting it in your eyes. I softly smiled as I picked up some seashells. I have a feeling this'll be the only calming moment I have for awhile. But I'm not alone. Not anymore
