My anger rose, Captain Levi must have sensed it and grabbed on to me, balling up my fists, I went to swing at the captain, "let me go short shit" I yelled at him, his grip only tightened,
"Yeager , tend to her horse, I'll take her back" he ordered, Eren gave a salute and grabbed stars reigns, Levi then tossed me on his horse and mounted the animal himself, I was angry.

The ride was quite and full of tension, I was struggling under the captains grasp, "let me go I have to find them!" I screamed, Levi pulled tightly on the reigns causing the horse to stop, he pushed me off the horse, I landed with a thud,
"What are you gonna do that hundreds of comrades haven't already, I get you're angry. I was too when I lost my family!" He shouted at me. He got down from the horse, crouched down to me and placing a hand in my shoulder, " kid listen to me, just for once, as of right now they are missing. Commander Erwin is out looking for them with Armin and Hanji" his gaze wasn't mad. It was a mix of anger and regret, "I put you through this, thinking they could handle it, I made the same mistake twice" I gazed at him with a questioning look
" Captain what are you talking about?" Levi stiffened
"What do you know of the underground thug history?" He questioned; confused I answered
"There where a group of people, an Ackerman, a gal named Isabel, and a guy named Furlan, they where the best thugs of the underground, led by the Ackerman, they where ruthless, the leader was cold hearted, Isobel was a child," I started telling him everything I knew; people always talked about them, "anyway, the crime went down when they where captured by the MP and Survey Corps." I finished, causing Levi to smirk,
"kid Isabel and Furlan where my friends"
"What happened to the Ackerman?" I asked, my heart sank, not really wanting to know he died, I needed to find my dad to shove it in his face that I didn't need him. Levi glances at me again, only too look away, " he became a captain on the Survey corps" I shook it off, he could have a different squad. Things weren't right with this man "Captain, why do you care what happens to me?" I asked him, his eyes never left mine,
"I have a suspicion, but I can't confirm anything till I know everything" he paused, I felt a weirdc kinda tension, "just trust me" I gave him a nod and he helped me up off the ground, I quickley dusted myself off, I looked up at the captain, and he smacked me upside the head, "Next time you do something reckless, You're cleaning the whole base. top to bottom, by yourself. got it" a smiled a bit towards him,
"yes sir" I saluted.

We walked back to his horse and he helped me up, he sat behind me and took the reigns, lightly kicking the animal, the horse trotted all the way back to the base. Nothing more was said between the captain and me, but I was still worried about my friends 'please be okay' I thought to myself, I felt fear more then anything.

Once we arrived back to camp, Levi helped me down from the animal, as he walked the horse towards the stable, I walked inside and was met by a girl shoving food in her face "hello?" I questioned her, causing the poor girl to jump,
"I wasn't steeling food!" she shouted, taking one look at me, "Oh you're the new girl, Im Sasha!" she said with so much excitement, I almost punched her so she would calm down, but I held back
"um what are you doing Levi will be pissed with you" I stared at her, before she had time to reply, Captain Levi walked in, standing next to me, she glared at Sasha, "Put it back and leave, Im not dealing with this again" he ordered, she stiffened again; putting the food back she turned and went to leave "ALL OF IT BLOUSE!" he shouted, she reached into her bag and put the rest of it back, I looked up at the Captain
"Sir?" I questioned, no emotion shown in my voice
"Don't worry, its a nightly thing, and I can't think of a punishment for her" he said pinching the bridge of his noise, I hummed
"what have you made her do?" I asked
he let out a groan, "might as well sit down, it's gonna be a story" he gestured for me to down. I took a seat at the table, Levi sitting across from me, telling me everything, from running to extra patrol jobs, to cleaning, to looking after Eren, he continued talking when an idea popped into my head,
"sir why not make her be a book/ Paper holder in your office, I know it's clean now, but when you get busy making plans" I suggested, he thought about it and tussled my hair, I rolled my eyes as I hated my hair being played with, my mother was the last person who did it.
"great idea kid, Sometimes im in the study for hours and she would have to stand there"

We sat in silence for a bit, till we heard the galloping of hooves and a very angry Eren, "kid go to your room" Levi ordered, I did as I was told and went up to my room. "please just let them be safe" I said as I entered my room. I closed the door, and as soon as it clicked, I heard screaming "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN!" Captain Levi shouted, I sank against the door, my hand held over my mouth, so I wouldn't scream.
Hours later, there was a soft knock on my door "Luna? may I come in" Hanji said softly, my back was still on the door, I stood up and opened the door, letting shitty glasses in
"what is it?" I asked, my voice cold she pulled me to the bed and sat me down, I quickly removed myself from her hands
"Sweet girl, I have something hard to report" she took a sharp in hail she had a very concerned look on her face her eyes met mine and she placed a hand on my shoulder "Luna, your friends have been lost," was all she could say before I lifted my hand to make her shut up
"get out" I whispered
"Luna I assure you we are trying.." she started to say
"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT SHITTY GLASSES!" I shouted at her, anger and hatred filled my voice, the air around us went cold and she hurried out of my room, I slammed the door shut, looking at my small room, I started flinging shit across the room, I screamed out in anger, Rage even. I lost it, not one ounce of me cared anymore. I opened my door and ran past everyone, heading towards the stable to retrieve my horse.

Running past concerned comrades, I didn't bother stopping "hey are you okay?" someone asked me, I balled my fists up and smashed it on his face, then continued on my way. once to the stables I saw Star, grabbing her saddle and reigns, I got her ready.
Slowly hopping on the animal, I kicked her as hard as I dared and she jolted forward, "KID STOP!" I heard the husky voice of the captain, but I didn't bother stopping. I rode as fast as I could, away from the people, away from everything I felt numb as I rode, the breeze the horse was creating mixed with the nightly air, my mind caught up to me, I wasn't paying attention, when I felt tears leak from my eyes, hitting my hand that I had tightly on the reigns, Stars black main flowing in the wind, I looked back and saw we where extremely far away from the base, I lightly pulled back on the reigns, letting the animal breath, I cried, harder then I have cried since my mom died.

I pulled Star into a very wooded area,hopping off her, tying her too a tree, I rested my back against it, sliding down the rough bark till my ass met the ground, bringing my knees up to my chest, I sobbed, 'this is just a dream' I thought. "This can't be real" I said , hiccuping as I sobbed, I hardly ever cried, but they where my family.

Hours seemed to pass and I just gazed up at the stars, looking at the patterns, I was pulled from my concentration when I heard hooves coming towards me, "there you are" he sounded relieved, I didn't bother looking at him, I didn't need to be judged. I was only pulled from my thoughts when I was pulled into a hug, I began freaking out, I went to ball up my fists, when I saw Hanji with a shocked expression on her face, I looked over and saw Levi hugging me, I began to panic "am I being punished? cause this is weird" I said with a slight hiccup, Levi pulled away and looked very sternly at me "DON'T YOU EVER RUN OFF LIKE THAT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!" He screamed at me, I gave him a confusing look.
"why do you care?" I asked,
"because kid, you're apart of my squad, I might not look like it but I do care. I'm a hard ass so people wont go off into battle and dye on us." he explained, I had a feeling that there was something more he wanted to say but didn't know how to word it. I looked at Hanji, she gave me a soft smile, "we might not be where you're from, but we are a family here, Eren; lost his parents to a Titan, Armin lost his whole family, And Mikasa witnessed her whole family get slaughtered in front of her. Levi Lost his mom at four and was raised by an asshole uncle" Hanji started but stopped when Levi growled at her,
"you see kid we do care about you guys, we try to keep you busy so you don't loose focus." Levi spoke,
I sighed and looked at the adults in front of me "i'm sorry for running, and getting too mad"
"its okay kid" Levi spoke his hand still on my shoulder.
