Natalie spurred her horse faster, urging it to charge forward, their formation broke off into branches as to scatter the target. She braced her heels hard in the stirrups unless she had to dismount quickly, praying she did not have to use her 3dmg in open air, she was well practiced in its use but that meant almost nothing in an open field. She tried not to let her heart palpitate as she checked her peripheral vision, seeing only its grotesque amusement.
Irvin stared in shock, only for a moment. "They had a target?" he mumbled to himself. He signaled forward for the troops to break up more, if she was their single goal he would use that to get everyone out of there. He sidled up by Levi, he was the best hook for the bait. "Take her and lure them off track, we'll take out its legs once everyone gets past." he ordered, breaking off to get the rest of his squad in formation behind the branching cadets.

Levi was taken aback, and for the first time in a long time he thought of disabobeying his command. The thought of using he as bait was dangerous, and he just... " alright" he responded , , slapping the reigns on his horse to speed up to Natalie's position. He had to trust Irvin's judgment. He'd done something like this before., taking risks with thevrecruits, but the one was different getting past, he hated to admit. " Natalie!" He called, signaling her over with a kid of his head, the Titans never moving up out of its position, and eyes never leaving her

Her head snapped around to see Levi and back to her path just as quickly. "Sir?!" she responded, twisting her body slightly so she could see him and stll guide the horse.
Irvin motioned some of the squad leaders to lead the troops around the group of titans while his group lagged back to cover Levi and the cadet.

He started at natalie for a moment, clenching his eyes closed before he suddently geared his horse in a completely different direction, and out of formation order. " follow the others!" He commanded, taking his own selfishness over his athlorized plan. He launched off his horse into a spin dive, and rolled safely into the brush. He extended his 3dmg, catching the Titan in the leg. The Titans head snapped unnaturally fast to get a good view of levi. And The other followed suit with its companion. " no, he's insane" shasha mutterd breathlessly . " what the hell is he doing! " Jean panicked

Irvin watched Levi disobey his orders. He was border-lining on angry, there had to be something about that girl if he disobeyed a direct order. "Cover the cadets!!" he called to his group, spurring his horse forward to lead the cadets through the maze of titans, his teeth ground when he saw the walls coming up over the horizon. They only needed to hold on a little further.
Natalie kept her horse running forward with the others until she saw Levi dive off her horse. She was shocked when a pang of fear pierced her unusual calm. She watched him fly off towards the titan, squaring off towards him. Every instinct told her to turn around, to back him up. She knew she should push forward with the rest of the cadets, turning around was stupid, so damned stupid, yet there was a sick pit in her stomach.

Good, this was good. Levi hopped up onto the back of the Titan who clumsily reached his hands for him. As Levi pulled out his blades to cut into the flesh of the Titan he noticed the other looking directly at him in a way that was not at all Titan like. The Titan stood strait, dark circles under its eyes, looking up a Levi and curling its lip in irritation. An abnormal? Or human?. Levi sliced into the skin of the other Titan, using its falling body as momentum to launch off Into the air of the other Titan. Levi barley dogged the slow hand that grabbed for him. Levi ran along the Titans arms until he reached its shoulder when the Titan began to rock back and fourth In pursuit to knock Levi off.
Armin and eren trotted right behinde natalie, noticing her hesitation, ready to stop her if need be " Natalie" armin began to reason

The first troop far ahead had neared the gate, Irvin ran along side them calling out shifts in formation every time a titan moved, but they seemed uninterested, beginning to converge towards the back where the last troop was. He saw Levi twisting around the other titans and putting them down with only some difficulty, he didnt have the soldiers to spare to provide him assistance but he was confident Levi would hold his own. He looked forward again, charging faster, narrowly swerving a titans foot as it stepped down. The second troop made its way to the gate, he was hopeful they might make it through the day with no casualties, despite the complication.
She couldnt do it. Levi was going to be livid. He always did say to trust your instincts, maybe she'd remind him of that during her thousand laps tomorrow. "fuck this." She jerked the reins to the side and turned her horse so fast it whinnied from the force, kicking it hard in the ribs as she weaved around Armin and Eren. Sorry guys. She charged forward towards where Levi's now significant pile of titans had started to steam. For a split second her heart nearly jumped out of her throat. What in the hell was she doing. She braced her heels in the stirrups and launched herself forward, acting completely on impulse was either going to save her or get her eaten. Her cables shot out and caught a neighboring titan's arm as it took a swing for Levi perched on a titans shoulder. She swung with the momentum around its throat and drug her swords through the back of his neck in one sweep.

" God damnit!!" Eren cursed, turning to go after her, but he was quickly stopped by mikado who practically ran him over with her horse. " no eren, anymore and well mess up the formation even more" " we could loose more" armin added. " the gates just ahead irvin!" Mike shouted from beside him.
Levi saw her coming and could hardly control his shock and anger, slicing into the flesh of a Titan with vengeance before he landed again. This wasn't it, not the plan at all. " Natalie!!!!l he yelled , slicing again. A Titan was on her immeadiay, reaching down to grab her, and another jumping, it's mouth wide open to devour her. Levi didn't think, running at her and slamming them both into the brush, Rolling on top of her and straddling her , and he swore, he could kill her righ then and there.

Natalie's adrenaline was pumping too hard for her to be frightened, of him or the titans. Through the whole ordeal somehow she was only fearful for him. "You can yell at me when we're safe." she huffed quickly. They were maybe only a hundred yards from the gate, shrouded in the tree line. She was stark still, like a rabbit caught under the paws of a wolf.
The girl had seen his plan through, without even knowing it. Curious how that had worked out. The last of the troops were shuffling into the doors hurriedly now while the last of the titans were being blown to bits by the cannons atop the wall. He turned his horse at the gate, spotting Levi atop the girl, looking uncharacteristically furious.

Levi growled, yanking her up off of the ground with him and racing to his horse. He bent down to hoist her up onto it, with him right behinde her. He wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, slapping the reigns of the horse, and sending them off in the direction of the gate, Titans hott on they're trail. He clutched her tightly, protective even, untill finally, and barley they were in the confines of the gate, the stone wall closing with finality behinde them, ending the mission.
Chap end. shit.

Natalie sat in her windowsill, contemplative, frustrated. Now that she had a moment to think she was scrutinizing herself for running back to his aid, she was cursing him for being mad at her for it. er thoughts were just all around chaotic and convoluted. She would never sleep, her mind was too busy. She looked back to the other girls in her barracks, all sleeping soundly. They should be, it had been a very long day for everyone. She sighed heavily and grabbed her cigarettes ruefully off the dresser, her hand clutching divets in the packaging before she dropped from the window. She took in the fresh air before starting down the alleyway.
Irvin lazily dragged himself through the door of his home. Even after they had returned he still had meetings and reports to do on their mission today. He was dead tired, and needed to rest his bones. The sting of his wound and the all around exhaustion of his injured leg reminded him of the girl. It was fortunate he had stored up on food recently because he had forgotten all about her. He dropped his belongings on the stand by the door and shrugged his braud shoulders out of his coat, groaning slightly as his muscles ached in the movement.

Levi sat down at the bar, waving the tender to get him a glass. He needed this. He took the shot swiftly, being handed another right after. He dragged his hand across his face, the soreness pulsing all throughout his body, and he only hoped this would help. That God damn girl. " fuck" he murmured to himself, remenecing the exact moment he saw her come after him. He was sure there may be some punishment later for trying to avoid the command all toghether. Memories of farland sank into the deep confines of his mind where he wanted to keep them, if not for her. Why did he turn from the original plan? He stood from his bar chair, hooking his finger into his caravat to loosen it as he walked out the door, needing the air.
All around the house was clean, things out into they're neat order, and from the trash next to Irvin's writing desk were the 3dmg straps heD left her bound to. Hannah was asleep soundly in his bed.

(haha exactly what he needs right now) She stomped around the corner and down the street, the dimly lit windows of the closed stores flying by in her peripheral vision. It was so late the streets were almost black and a light rain dusted around her, seeming to miss her completely. She was on a b-line track to the tavern, needing to dull her thoughts.
Irvin stared around his house, his eyes trailing over the tidiness and cleanliness that sparse his house, landing on the straps hanging from the hooks by the door. His confusion could be seen in every detail as he slowly walked through the house, taking in every detail till he stopped in the doorway of his bedroom. He could see her small frame tucked and snuggled into the blankets, dwarfed by the side of his bed.

Levi stumbled a second, regretting taking that second shot so quickly, but for fucks sake. He decided to let it go anyway, hell, maybe he'd go back in for another, once the light buzz began to wear off. ( really really potient liquor I guess) he unbuttoned his jacket next, making his way down the street some before he noticed her. This, however, was NOT what he needed. Mostly for her own sake he thought.
Hannah was clean looking, obviously showered, her short dark hair no longer in stuck up little strands, her full lashes fluttering slightly as she dreamed, her face pink with color. She took advantage while he was away. She rolled in her sleep, snoring lightly. " mmmm no beans ..."

Natalie lifted her head just in time to see the obstacle in her path. fuck. A thousand other curses ran through her mind but she was fairly sure that one was vocal. She tensed her jaw, thinking for a moment whether or not she should turn down the alley and go back, it didnt seem like he noticed her yet. her eyes squinted at him for a moment. Not a chance, she thought as her determined feet trudged forward.
His laugh was short. How odd, that the events would turn out this way. He thought for a moment about turning into the living room and sleeping on the couch. He rubbed his hand across his forehead. He really should, and not frighten the poor thing. He turned, but paused in the doorway, he was tired, and she DID stab him. He pulled his button up over his head, too exhausted to unbutton it, and tossed it towards the hamper. Shedding his thick white canvas pants and kicking them in the same direction before he slid between the sheets, stretching his aching muscles before relaxing.
