2 Obey

You wake up around 4 am as the sun was illuminating your room after a lon night. Letting the water boiled while you went to take a quick shower. After getting ready and drinking your tea , you left your so called house . You never considered that small place as nothing more than a place to sleep eat and shower. You walked pass the flity streets and observe the people. It amazed you to see the sudden change between the sides of the city where the rich was the god and the poor was the ant. Normally the streets would be filled with people going to work children playing on the streets and the women started to cleaning , but today it was calmer with less people in sight. While walking with your normal speed , you saw that the majority of the people whose face you know was either not here or acting a bit strange . Without showing any change anything on your face or actions you kept walking until you saw the huge house where your master lives. The house was a 3 stores mansion within tall walls. You stopped in front of the huge metal door with golden motives on it , while acting like you were trying to find the key but actually trying to understand if someone was following you. But you couldn't be obvious. Walking a bit faster to the grand mansion within a huge garden . You tried to hear strange sounds but there were none , which made you think harder. You tried to list the names of the possibly people who might attack. They were either nobles or underworld lords. The nobles were never a problem with much treat because you knew that they were too into themselves and trusted that they had the best soldiers but the reality was always the opposite. If the problem was the underworld lords, you were sure that they wouldn't send their best man which meant that it was no problem for you. Even if they send their best of best you had the advantage because of the location.

Before entering the amazing house you check the lock and the door to control if there was something strange. Although it was a everyday thing to you, you felt a strange tension in your mind. " Something is wrong" . Trying to be logical was your method of life but you never underestimated your senses.

" Your senses are your other eyes "

You walked to the big dinning hall where an old man was sitting.

" Good morning sir" you said while bending the knee. He looked at you with indifference. While he was talking about today's programme and giving you orders, you felt that something wasn't right. You stand up quickly which made the old man look at you irritated but also in shock . You never moved your eyes from the floor with out permission let alone standing up.

" Master where is Drane ?" you said respectfully but in a ice cold tone. Drane was his right hand man who was always around. You also sensed that there was no maids in sight which was unusually in a mansion with 50 or more maids. Your master sensed that your were suspicions.

" Calm down. I send him to the city to handle with something. Why do you want to know? " He was now looking at your face trying to understand the reason of your strange actions. You looked straight in his ice cold blue eyes with certainty.

" Something is strange, Master. Dane is gone and there are no maids in sight. I sense that something isn't right " His faced changed as he heard your words. He wouldn't care about your thoughts if it were 6 years ago but after saving him countless times and never being wrong about anything you said. He stood up from his golden chair with ease . Although his old age he was an energetic man which you always were happy knowing that ıt would be more problematic if he was sick.

" What is your suggestion X." Hearing the last letter ,which was your name after becoming this loyal dog to your master, made you grid your teeth. But you kept your voice as the same : Calm , clear and without emotions. .

" We need to leave. I think that something is going on and it is different for the usual threats we deal with" He looked at you with a calm face and frightened eyes. You knew that this man might looked like an old noble with all the time in the world but looks are deceiving. It was same for his master too. He always had something to do with everything going on. He would move the people with huge power in high positions like he was their puppet master. You always knew that one day he would be caught and you have to either die saving him or be killed by the people after they kill him. But ıt didn't changed anything for you. You weren't scared or frightened . Actually you didn't feel anything. The old man knew that and shook his head agreeing what you said. You turned to go to the east wing where the basement and the dungeons were located. You understanding that one day you would be against an enemy whose power was impossible to deal with , suggested to make a tunnel for escaping.

" ı knew that you would be a problem." You turned and looked at the door connecting the room with the kitchen. There was a blond man standing. You knew him ... Erwin Smith , the commander of the Survey Corps and one of the best , if not the best , soldier in the military who was known by his unparalleled skills as an tactician. You sighed because this meant that you were probably surrounded by Atlas 100 soldiers and he was also here. You smiled which made your master look at you believing that you lost your mind. But to his suprise you answered him calmly with a sarcastic tone

" Why dint you let the dogs fight Commander? Yours against me ?" You weren't scared which made him laugh. He knew that you weren't a match for his right hand but your instinct to do your duty was worth an applause. He would normally respect you for your strength but not to today. Today there was no place to possible treats.

" You are strong but no. Give him over or we will get him. I promise the latter wont be nice" You sensed that he wasn't relaxed. If he thought that you were in their palm, he might joke or even let you fight but he didn't. He didn't had the face of a man who was confidant which meant that ....

" Oh Commander, I appreciate your thoughts. Actually appreciate your concerns" you talked while walking. You looked around. Probably his man were all around the house and the roof. But you didn't see any movement outside. Which meant that he placed the majority of his men inside.

" But thanks Commander. I never surrender but you knew that - so- Why bother to ask when you can kill me now?" You sensed that your master was getting uneasy with each second. He knew that staying silent and letting you analyze the situation was the best . He was short tempered like the majority of the noblemen and ıt always led to more problem. The Commander Erwin sensed that too. He was known to be a good at reading the situations and seeing the possibilities. You knew that first hand when the Female Titan and the Titan boy from his Crop fight in the city. He not only handled the treat of a titanshifter and a spy but also secured his position. You knew that your time was running out too .

" Because we don't want to deal with you. That man behind you - Duke Alston is under-arrest for plotting years with the fake king and being a major part of his plotting. So step aside and let us do our job" Your face was still without any expression which shocked him. Anyone hearing these words would be shocked and not know what to do. ' Are you also a part of this ?' thought Erwin but knowing the nobility treat their soldiers like dogs answered his thoughts.

Hearing those words made one thing clear to you. You are in a big trouble and need to leave this place as soon as possible. You could-

"Commander Erwin ı don't know what you are speaking of but you are overstepping here. I am the second most powerfully person in this country. I will see you and your entire corps beheaded" said Duke Alston which meant that you are out of time. Erwin smiled when he heard the threats which made you believe that you wasn't lying. Shit - this means that the old bastard is powerless.

" Wanna bet Duke Alston. I am sure th- " you cut his sentence with your sharp words

" I don't care Commander. Anyways ıt was nice to meat you if you excuse us now." After you finished your sentence you grab the arm of the Duke and ran to the window. Breaking the window with your jump you pulled the old bastard with you. You were right he positioned a few soldier here while focusing his main power in the house and the roof. You dodged the bullets to your best while covering for the Duke. Knowing that the soldiers outside the house would be moving towards you, you hide behind in the rose garden just outside the house. The distance between the garden and the little forest would take 10 minutes of running but they would be free targets and shot to the death .

" Master we run to the east. I will try to cover for us. Until we get outside the range of the guns we need to be carefully. After that run while ı try to buy us sometime. Go to the lake and use the boat. Drane would know something is wrong because no new orders." He looked at you scared knowing the plan will most likely to fail and the possibility of being killed is nearly certain . But knowing that you would do anything to keep him safe he agreed. You moved slowly to the east while taking cover and he followed your steps.

" STOP WHERE YOU ARE " . You cursed under your breath. They are much more fast than you thought. You stand up and run to the nearest soldier. While fighting you tried to keep your distance close with the enemy knowing that they wouldn't risk shooting their own. ' Their numbers are that high. Not everyone is suicidal ı think ' you thought while chopping the head of someone. You felt nauseated everytime the blood of someone else is on you hands. But you had no time to think because your time until Erwin's dog catch you is limited.

You looked at the old bastard he is nearly out the range which gave you hope. You ran towards him. Maybe , you two would make it ou-

" I catched you brat " when you heard the words your blood froze. You pushed the Duke telling him not to stop. You turned around .

" I always knew that we would meet one day." you said while looking straight to Levi Ackermann. Humanity's Strongest - the name made you always laugh but deep down you knew that ıt was true. He as a member of the Ackerman clan was very strong even for an Ackerman. You knew that the Duke thought to get him as his guard but that was impossible. The clan was nearly extinct and Levi , a person born and spend his youth in Underground , would never be as obedient or trusted as you are.

" Tch brat. Move and let me catch him. I am not in mood for killing you" he said being annoyed that you were clever enough to run away to a place where he wouldn't be able to use his ODM . Which meant that if he wanted to fight ıt would be a hand to hand combat.

"No" You didn't know ıf you would be able to take him down. The fight was full of unknowns. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes for a second to clear your mind . Put your right and left fist before your body. move your left foot forward . Right one is one step behind it. Your body moved itself to get in the position to fight. Levi understood that you weren't going to change your mind and positioned himself for fight. He was calm knowing that the rest of the soldiers are going to be here in 5 minutes and the old bastard wont make it far in that time. Erwin was also a genius because he positioned some of the best soldiers of his squad , like Mikasa in the forest. He remembered Erwin's words

' She isn't an ordinary guard be carefully. She might create problem for use '. And you were. You not only killed 20 soldiers on your own but also manage to see trough Erwin's plan and come up with a one in less than 5 minutes. ' Whatever .... I will end you here and now' he though before striking you . Dodging some of your moves ans striking when you see an opening both of you tired to analyze eachother. Unfortunately Levi was the first one to find one. So he tired to make you go for a strike which would create the best opening for his attack and he was right. You found yourself on your back and in a deadlock. You struggled for a second faking to struggle to move your body in position for kicking you in the head. Fighting both the guards of the nobles and the dogs of the Underground assholes thought you not only how to get out situations like this but also learn new techniques too. Your kick was strong enough to make Levi bleed.

"Hey Captian we cought him!" Yelled Mikasa dragging the old man behind her. You looked where the sound came from. The bastard was either unconscious or death. Levi smirked knowing that the fight ended and you lost. But you felt the anger rising inside you .

I spent my life trying to save this motherfucker.

What for??

Die like this.

No.. Never .

I don't give up .

You strike Levi and although he was unprepared he blocked you. You felt that there were 50 or more soldiers are coming to where you are in less than a minute.

" Tch. So be it. I wont die without fighting." Anger, hate and feeling the cold breath of death , you gave your all while striking Levi. Knowing the end is near, you atleast wanted to have a great fight before dying. You were bleeding so was Levi when you saw the soldiers were surrounded and felt a sharp pain. The last thing you saw was the blue sky.

" It ıs a good day to die" you though before you sink down in to the blackness.
