Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Broken Promise

Your hands shook as you buttoned up your white shirt. "Y/N, there's no need to be nervous. You'll do fine." Felix gave you a big smile and handed you your green cloak. "Thanks but I can't help but be nervous." You let out a small laugh as you exited the room with your squad members.

You traveled down the hallway with your stomach jumping around. You could hear all the horses outside the building and people moving around.

You exited the building and began to walk over to the four horses that were tied up on the side of the building. "Hi, how are you?" You spoke softly and in a high pitched voice to the chestnut horse. You stroked it's head and gently undid the knot to the wooden post.

The squad members followed you and grabbed their horses. You hoisted yourself up onto the horse and led it into the correct position. Your team was positioned right behind Erwin, in the center of the formation. Erwin looked behind his shoulder at you and gave you a small smile before looking straight ahead again.

Everyone positioned themselves in the formation and Erwin held up his arm. As soon as he let down his arm, the horses began running.

You could feel the wind through your hair as you rode with your squad. For a minute you forgot you were even on a mission, you were too busy looking at the scenery that was passing by. There were large hills that went on for miles, covered with green grass and flowers.

Once the large walls came into sight, you snapped back to reality. This would be your first time out of the walls, and all you could hope for was that it wasn't your last. You looked behind you to your squad members before you were swallowed by darkness.

You sped down the tunnel that led to the exterior. You could see the light at the end and as it got closer, you couldn't help but feel anxious.

The bright light hit your face and you emerged fully into the radiant beams of the sun.

You looked around at the beautiful plains that went on forever. To your left it was lined with woods, that were calming, but still ominous. Everything looked so peaceful, yet you couldn't help but think about the titans that lurked among the shadows.

You watched as squads from the right and left began to break off and move to the outside. You squad remained going full speed ahead with Erwin's squad.

Red smoke erupted in the sky to your left, signaling there was a titan spotted. It was off towards the woods, so hopefully the other squads could handle that.

Erwin started turning towards the left towards the woods and came to a halt. "Y/N, you and your squad will guard the outside of the woods and make sure no titans get in. Me and Levi will head into the woods." You nodded your head and pointed up to the tops of the trees.

"Secure your horses at the base of the trees and position yourselves high up." Kai and Felix headed to the tree on the right and secured their horses to the ground.

You and Willow headed to the left. You wrapped your horses lead around a small branch that stuck out at the bottom of the tree. "I'm sorry, if anything happens." You petted the horse and leaned in to give it a small kiss on it's head.

You grappled up to the tree and flew up to the top.

You landed on a branch that was far from the ground. You unhooked from the tree and leaned up against the trunk. Willow came zooming up and sat on the branch across from you.

It was now a waiting game. Your feet began to hurt from waiting around for titans to show up at the entrance to the forest.

It was an eerie feeling, the calm and quietness of the forest being mixed with the occasional shrieks of people in the distance.
