CHAPTER 1: Never come back
Flashback
"(F/n) your not serious?" Farlen words came out almost a whisper due to the shock. Holding back tears you took a deep breath and composed yourself.
"I don't expect you to agree with my choice but can you at least understand-" You begged, Farlen and Isabel had jumped to their feet when you told them the news. Levi still sat cross legged on the couch, not meeting your eyes.
"UNDERSTAND WHAT!? Sis, you cant leave, join the military? what are you thinking?" Isabel started to raise her voice, each word charged with emotion. She was in front of you in an instant, eyes open wide and both hands on your shoulders, "You can't leave..." she trailed off.
Not meeting her gaze you clenched your jaw. You didn't know what to say or how to say it.

They both stood frozen, mouths open wide.
Just before you left, Levi meet your gaze. His whole body was tense, you softened your eyes, giving him a final look but all you could see was pure anger and betrayal in his eyes. As soon as you stepped over the threshold of the door into the warm night, It was slammed closed behind you.
End of flashback
You stood at the entrance to the underground, A wave of unwanted emotions and memories overtaking you. God what am I doing back here?
"(F/n), are you ready?" Your squad leader Erwin Smith asked placing a hand on your arm, you looked up at him and nodded.
"Lets go."
