Not even listening to our cries prevented her in attack, as the female's other arm went to swat her away. About to make my move, Levi beats me to it pushing her out of the way without hesitation, yet, he pushes against the hand.

A sickly sharp painful crack meets my ears, before a resounding grunt leaves his lips.

"Levi!" I cry out, with fear and concern.

He pushes past the pain, pushing off the hand and went straight for the mouth, slicing across just below the cheekbones. The jaws unhinge themselves loosely, exposing a mucus-covered, disgustingly messy Ereb, resting on the tongue. He was whole, and he seemed unharmed but unconscious from his transformation. Steam was slowly filling the still air around us, as the wounds were slowly healing.

A breath of relief leaves me, only to wince again grasping my chest. Shit.

"Eren!" Mikasa cries out, relief washing over her tone.

Levi quickly grabs hold of Eren's body, before retrieving him with saliva, and slime all over him. Finally getting some distance, we perch upon the tree as the young girl glances up from another branch. She searches for any sign of life, but Levi glances down only to shrug it off knowing he was alive.

"I've got him" he assure us, grimacing at the sight in his hands. "Disgusting, but alright."

"Eren," Mikasa whispers, relief in her tone.

Levi then turns to her, with only annoyance in his eyes.

"What'd I tell you about trying to take her down?" He scolds her sternly, seeing the remaining blood on his face was disappearing slowly. "Now come on.....we've got Eren. That means our work here is done......let's go."

"Yes sir,"

My hand shakingly grips my chest finding it hard to breath, before I set off right beside Levi to the main troops.
