My sleep was full of restlessness and dreamless sleep, I don't really sleep anyway, but knowing my luck if I made a single sound, Levi would come running, I wanted to talk to someone so I let out a groan, sitting up, getting out of the bed and walked over to the window, and as if on que, Levi barged in "what are you doing?" he questioned,
"have you ever heard of knocking?" I shot back my gaze never leaving the window, I admired the stars, I heard stories, and they did this sight no justice. Levi huffed at my remark and walked in my room further, "look kid, it'll take time adjust to up here" I turned around and gave him a questioning look
how would he know? What did he care if I would adjust? I'm practically a prisoner,
"it's not that Sir" I answered him, turning my attention back to the night, "you see, I miss my mom. She had the wrong profession, and I guess I followed both my parents in that department. But she was kind, never let me think she didn't love me" I started when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up at the man, "Luna what was you're mom's name?" he questioned
"why do you care?" I asked back, his cold grey eyes had an emotion I couldn't name. I shook my head and wanted to walk away from the raven haired man but he had a grip on my shoulder, he still had this questioning look on his face, "Look captain her name was Lacy, not that you would know her" I wanted to cry, memories of my mother flashed, but I refused to look weak infront of him.

We didn't say anthing for a while, "Sir?" I waved my hand infront of his face, causing him to come back to reality, " Captain Levi?" I asked again giving the concerened look too the man. Before he could say anything Hanji came running in slamming the door wide open again "LEVI" she screeched.
"SHUT IT SHITTY GLASSES" we both yelled at the women, then looked at each other "what do you need Hanji?" he cleared his throat, she handed him a letter.
"Luna you're with me, Wake the others and mount up!" he ordered, Hanji and I saluted him, he took off out of my room and I followed behind him, "sir whats going on?" I questioned
"we need to wake Eren, then Eren, you and me are gonna find Erwin, the rest of the scouts will follow suite" he muttered, still not answering my question.

we stopped at a door and Levi pounded on it, I heard a thud from in side the room "fuck, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WAN-" Eren shut up when he opened the door and saw Levi standing there,
"get dressed Yeager, we ride out in 10" Eren gave a nod and shut the door, Levi and I walked away "Captain will you answer my question, what is going on?" I actually began to panic,
"I'll explain everything in a moment, you just," he paused "you gotta trust me" he finished, he wasn't angry, he was concerned,  he stopped and turned to look at me, placing a hand on my shoulder "just when I do I need you to promise not to be reckless, and be cautious."  I didn't argue, I gave him a slight nod and simply said
"okay." with that we took off in a run toward the stables, he walked over to a black horse and pointed at the one next to it, mine was black, just like his, except mine had a white dimond on it face, "her name is star, Fitting right" Levi stated, handing me a saddle and reigns, I smiled at the animal, and started to get her ready, then Eren came running in, completly out of breath, he quickly got his mare ready, and we mounted up, and took off towards the wall "Captain whats going on?" Eren asked, but Levi didn't answer, "Luna do you know?"
"he only told me not to do anything stupid, " I told Eren "is that bad?"  but no one answer me, so I got mad, I kicked my mare and ran infront of the captain, forcing him to stop, "OK look im not gonna follow you to my death IF YOU DON'T FUCKING EXPLAIN!" I shouted at the men, Levi sighed and looked from Eren to myself "look there was a breach and we have to get there. The rest of our squad is already on their way, we need to get the information from Commander Erwin, Now can we go?" I moved out the way and Levi raced as fast as he could to wall Rose, Eren and I close behind him.

We rode as fast as the horses could go, the tree's looked like blobs, I felt like I was flying. After we reached the wall we slowed our pace, Levi pointed toward a crowd of other scouts and ordered Eren and me to stay, we did as we where told, and Levi left to get the orders from the Commander, "what do you think will happen?" I asked Eren, Considering he was easier to talk too, his ocean green eyes met mine and he sighed,
"most of them will most likely die, our orders is to stay alive, Levi hates loosing his squad, you and I are to stay close to him." I felt scared "look this is gonna be different then what you are used too, its gonna get brutal, and you'll feel cold, numb even watching your comrades die, just trust us okay" he explained, before I had a chance to reply to him, the captain returned,
"Eren, you have to take care of her, I'm needed with Erwin, as of now you are in charge" he paused, glairing at the teen "do not make me regret this" Eren nodded as Levi continued " Eren tell the rest of them that they need to stay in the left wing, You and Luna stay as close to the middle as possible, we know that the beast titan is back, so he'll be after you." Levi looked over at me "Luna your job is to protect Eren, your ability matches mine and Mikasa, I need you to use what you know, witch I know is little too nothing, but make sure Eren is safe, he's our last hope and we need him" I gave a slight nod
"you got it" that being said he rode off towards the front of the scouts, Eren and I where soon joined by the rest of the Levi squad, there was a girl with brown hair in a pony tail, a boy with a buzz cut, he was also short, and a guy with two toned hair and a horse face, Callie and Sarah where also there  "where is Captain Levi?" horse face asked Eren
"he left me in charge, orders are Luna and I are in the middle, the rest of you, join the others in the left wing,; intell says its the beast titan again. Also stay alive I don't want any of you fucks dying on me" Eren sounded like the Captain, and I must say I was impressed.
"SCOUTS ON MY LEAVE!" I heard someone shout and everyone lurched forward, I looked at Eren and followed after him "yah!" I kicked my horse making her launch forward to catch up
"Listen too me right now Luna, once we get past the wall, stay close, no crazy shit. I know you can do it, I know it's what youre used to. But for the sake of the mission, our allies; stay close to me, let me protect you, I can do that much" Eren shouted past the sounds of hooves hitting the ground. I gave a nod "you got it"
"SCOUTS IN FORMATION!" The commander shouted again, everyone moved into formation, I followed the brown haired teen into the middle of the formation, Not even towards the middle of it, I saw my first titan, "EREN ON YOUR LEFT!" I shouted, he yanked the reigns causing the horse to run towards the titan "what no EREN" I screamed chasing after him, before I could catch up I felt a hand go around my waist, Panic set in, I felt cold, I was lifted towards the face of the titan, "MOOOM!" I screamed knowing my mother wouldn't come, I knew I needed my dad, 'shit!' I closed my eyes, when finally something shifted, I reached for my blades and sliced through the titans hands, using the ODM gear, I used it to grip the back of the titan and sliced the nape, blood splattered all over me and the giant fell. I whistled for my horse and she came running back, I landed on the floor gracefully and climbed back on the horse, grasping my sides Eren came running up next to me "you okay?" he asked  we took off again,
"I'm fine brat" I sounded cold, " can I tell you something?" I asked he looked at me and nodded
"sure what is it?" I went quite for a moment,
" I wanna know my dad. he might not want too meet me, but I almost died without knowing him. And I swear you tell anyone I'll have your ass" I said to him, Eren gave a small smile as we rode, I heard a whistle and saw Captain Levi
"you brats okay?" he asked riding next to us something about him seems familiar, something my mom told me,

  *FLASHBACK TO 6 YEAR OLD LUNA*
"my sweet darling Luna" my mother sadly smiled, " I need you too know something, You're father is a hardass, and can look heartless, but I know he has one, if you get the chance, find him. His last name is the same as yours; honey he's last name is Ackerman" she grabbed my cheek and smiled weakly "I love you my sweet girl" then she went limp
"mom" I shook her, but I got no response "Mother?" I shook her again a little harder "Mommy come back please I don't wanna be alone!" I cried into the hovel that was my home.

*back to present* 

I glanced at Eren, Levi left "Eren?" he hummed in response "do you know an Ackerman?" I questioned, causing him too loose focus, he didn't notice the Titan coming on his right using the ODM gear again, I launched myself at the titan and sliced it nape once again blood splattered and the thing fell, I landed on my horse and continued to race toward our destination
"what did you just ask?" Eren asked his expression unreadable,
"do you know an Ackerman? I thought of the night my mom died and she told me his last name, I forgot about it because it was useless information" I explained, Eren chocked,
"Luna I'll be right back" he shouted as he rode away
"WAIT youre supposed to be with me!" I shouted but he was "GOD DAMNIT EREN!l I screamed as I continued to ride, every titan that came at me I waisted, I wanted to stop, I want to go home, I want " I want my dad" I said out loud, feeling a tear fall from my eye.  I let go and went reckless, cutting down the titans like trees, "LUNA STOP THAT!" I heard someone shout
I ignored them, swept down and mounted my horse, and continued to ride, hearing people shout at me, telling me to stop! "ACKERMAN you fucking brat!" I knew who it was, but I kept my eyes darted forward, I gripped the reigns trying to get Star to run faster. Rain started to fall down causing a mist to settle around us, "ACKERMAN FALL BACK!" The captain shouted at me, but I disobeyed orders and kept ridding, "I'm not loosing another one like that!" He shouted again.

I didn't hear the shouting, The rain caused my hair to fall out of the pony tail, so I didn't see the Titans swarming around me, I don't know what was going on with me, I was lost in myself, I felt numb. I yanked back on the reigns when I felt yet another hand wrap around my waist, blocking my way to the weapons in my hip. Anger mixed with panic set it, " let go" I shouted, knowing the thing wouldn't understand. It started to bring me towards its mouth, "EREN! CAPTAIN! ANYONE!" I screamed my reality finally setting in, fight or flight set in, choosing the worthless option I chose to fight, I brought my foot back and kicked the ugly thing in the face. But that didn't stop it, but moments before I was out in its mouth, I heard the sipping of the ODM gear, I opened my eyes again to see an angry spinning ball, as the titan fell it took me with it, I crashed on the ground with a bang causing me to groan, "NEXT TIME I TELL YOU TO FALL BACK!" The man shouted, grabbing my hair and yanking me to him. "YOU FUCKING FALL BACK!" I looked at a very angry Levi. Giving my captain a nod, he helped me get to my feet and I whistled for Star, in no time she came running up, "I do have to say kid." Captain Levi started " you did pretty good. Right now due to weather, we have to fall back" he commanded getting on his horse, I got on mine and we took off towards the wall.


We arrived behind Eren and a girl with raven black hair, "Luna, meet Mikasa" Eren said, the girl with the short black hair extended her hand towards me, I grasped it and shook her hand, "where are Sarah and Callie? They where in your group" I questioned her, but I only got a salam look, "again I'll ask, Where are Sarah and Callie!?" I growled this time. Only to get the same look.
