Chapter 14: Titan in the Wall

                                    

                                          
Kiera's POV
                          
"Kiera" I heard someone call out, I opened my eyes to find that I was in bed, Levi was sat at my bedside, while Hange was stood against the wall next to the window, I sat up groaning,
                          
"You got Eren, right?" I asked, he nodded 
                          
"I did" he replied making me sigh,
                          
"Thank you. What of Annie?" I asked looking towards Hange,
                          
"She sealed herself inside a crystal" Hange informed,
                          
"Smart girl" I commented making them both gasp, 
                          
"You knew this would happen?!" Hange snapped coming over to me, I got up to face her,
                          
"I had a theory, yes. She didn't want us getting information from her in the forest, so why would she now? Since the only other titans was Eren and myself she couldn't control us to eat her, so she hardened her nape, trapping her inside the crystal" I stated,
                          
"Do you know how to break it?" She asked, I shook my head 
                          
"No, if I did I probably would of asked you where she was and got her out" I replied, she sighed and nodded before leaving the room, I sat back down on the bed.
                          
"Are you okay?" Levi asked, 
                          
"I'm fine. Erwin's been questioned, is he not?" I questioned, he nodded 
                          
"We got out of the way of the blade, however we're still on the chopping board" he informed, I sighed "Why didn't you allow Eren to fight  Annie?" He asked,
                          
"He went berserk, he attack me plenty of times just so he could get at Annie" I explained, he nodded 
                          
"Why didn't you remove him from the body then?" 
                          
"Because...should I have done so and Annie attack me I could of easily killed him. I promised myself that I wouldn't loose another member to the creatures, myself included" I replied, he gave me a hug which made me freeze in place before I eased up and hugged him back, he pulled away before smiling
                          
"I know I would of got the emotions out of you eventually" he commented, I gave a half hearted laugh 
                          
"And here's me thinking you wouldn't smile" I retorted making him chuckle 
                          
"We are to keep each other from going insane" he asserted, I nodded before standing up and putting my uniform on then going to leave "Where are you going?" He asked grabbing my shoulder,
                          
"To see my Brother" I answered opening the door, I arrived in his room to see him shovelling food down him, I shook my head "You never got the hang of rations" I commented making him freeze and look up at me,
                          
"Kiera! I'm sorry for attacking you" he apologised, I walked over to him noticing tears in his eyes, 
                          
"Don't cry brat" I replied messing his hair up, he smiled 
                          
"You're not mad?" He asked wiping his eyes, 
                          
"No, you put up one hell of a fight, it was better than them other creatures" I stated sitting down at his feet, "Just promise me this Eren. I want you to make sure that you don't let anyone you care about at the hands of a Titan" I demanded looking at the floor, 
                          
"You're on about Nia and Jai, aren't you?" He asked, I gasped
                          
"How do you know of them?" I asked as memories flashed through my mind of them,
                          
"Commander Erwin told me of what you went through. How you was close to them, treated them like family and your reaction to their deaths" he explained, I stood up before going to leave but Eren grabbed my hand making me stop, "I promise" he asserted, I turned around before hugging him, I pulled away before giving him a weak smile and left, 
                          
"Captain Kiera!" A soldier called out, I turned to them 
                          
"Yes?" I asked, 
                          
"Squad leader Hange, wants you to meet her at the top of the wall now" he informed, I nodded 
                          
"Lead the way" I demanded before following him, we arrived where Hange was and I was blankets covering the wall, I tilted my head to the side "What's the meaning of this?" I asked, 
                          
"There's a Titan in the wall" Hange explained, I looked over to the Pastor.
                          
"I'm guessing you have some knowledge of this. So explain" I ordered going over to him,
                          
"I am a busy man! The church and its followers...have fallen into complete chaos! And it's thanks to you! I will put in a request for compensation" he exclaimed, I grabbed him by the collar before dangling him over the wall,
                          
"I would happily destroy it again should you annoy me" I threatened,
                          
"Captain!" Hange's squad exclaimed,
                          
"Don't get any closer" Hange ordered as she stood next to me before turning her attention to the Pastor, "You. Do you even know why we, the Scouting Legion, shed our blood?! It's to take back from the Titans freedom that they stole for us!" She yelled.
                          
"Listen. I'm not asking you. I'm ordering you. Start talking" I growled tightening my grip, 
                          
"And if you don't, then I'll find someone who will" Hange asserted,
                          
"After all...Your life alone won't be able to atone enough for me!" I stated, 
                          
"Let...me go!" He demanded, 
                          
"As you wish" I shrugged before letting go of him but catching him again as he let out a scream before throwing him at the feet of the soldiers "I've got my hands bloody enough" I sighed before walking away, I came across Levi who stood their with a smirk on his face, "What?" I asked,
                          
"Nothing" he replied before walking along side me, 
                          
"That wasn't nothing, Rivaille" I retorted, 
                          
"You and four-eyes teamed up together are scary" he commented, 
                          
"Well we're both two different kinds of crazy" I scoffed stopping and watching the sun rise, 
                          
"You're easily amazed" he asserted making me raise an eyebrow before looking over at him to see him staring at me, I looked back towards the sun,
                          
"The sun rise and set is so peaceful, it makes me forget what's actually happening. What I truly am" I informed, he took my hand making me look at him.
                          
"You may turn into one of them creatures but that doesn't mean you are one" he expressed, I rolled my eyes 
                          
"Don't get soppy on me Rivaille" I responded making him chuckle slightly, which shocked me "He has emotion" I teased, he rolled his eyes, sighing and mumbling something before he pulled me closer and kissed me, my eyes widened and eventually I kissed back, he pulled away and smirk
                          
"She has emotions" he remarked making me scoff and cross my arms, 
                          
"You came on to me" I growled, he nodded 
                          
"And you kissed back" he countered,
                          
"You kissed?!" Hange exclaimed making us look to her raising an eyebrow, she came over and gave us a hug, "I knew you both had feelings for each other!" She beamed, I raised an eyebrow towards Levi, which he did to me before nodding and we put Hange on her ass, she laughed "Just because I'm right" She smiled, I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose 
                          
"Hange, I swear to the Walls, if you don't shut up I'm dropping you off this wall" I threatened, she got up and patted my head
                          
"Ok my Titan friend" she replied before running away, I looked towards Levi 
                          
"Did she just-?" 
                          
"Yes" he answered cutting me off, 
                          
"Han-!" I was cut off by his lips making me smirk into the kiss and return it.
