3rd person P.O.V.

Levi slipped through the trees with ease, looking for his fallen comrades before the rest of the regiment left. No one returned but Eren, who, had to be saved after his embarrassing defeat of the Female Titan. He finally found his first body fifty meters away from the tree Levi's squad was stationed at.

Gunter. Levi's eyes widened only slightly as he hung in the air where the mangled body of his trusted acquaintance slowly swayed in the cool breeze; a picture of utter fear frozen on his dead face. Levi slowly closed his eyes and moved on.

Next was Oluo. His body in a bloody mess that reminded him of the hilarious times he would bite his tongue. What ever was left, Levi could not make out due to the lower part missing from the hips down.

"You did not deserve this." He murmured words of mourn softly; something he felt he had only done at the death of Farlan and Isabel. These people may not have made him smile in the way they had, but they certainly had come close. He scrunched his nose at the smell of more blood down the way, quickly speeding off with his stern gaze.

Petra Rival was pressed up against a tree in a painful position as her blood caked her head and chest. Levi, though disgusted, pulled her off and set her on the grass softly. He folded her arms across her chest and looked up from his work to find Erd slumped up against another tree.

"Erd..." Levi murmured his name under his breath as he approached quickly to his side. Though the chances were slim, a small fiber of his being hoped that a faint heartbeat would pulse against his neck as Levi came down upon it,

But there was nothing. No sign at all.

Levi sighed, but looked once again to find the Frost twins not among the dead. He started off in a slow walk, following a trail of steaming blood on the tall grass. 'They could be alive.'
This motivated Levi to pick up the pace, now in a slight jog.

'Help me!'

Elise's voice rang in his head, the look of shock on her face as the horrible titan snapped her in half like a twig. Before he knew it, his slight jog had turned into a frantic race to find them. Or more specifically, her. He did not care for the pain in his now swollen ankle, because if he didn't hurry,-

"Frost Assholes!" He called out, hoping one would be able to answer. Only the birds whistled their joyous music even though the situation was desperate. Here was a choke only a mere three yards away, and Levi didn't take anytime to approach.

"Le-evi.." in the clearing, Logan lay trying to keep his breathing steady. Even though the screams of his sister echoed through his brain. Levi's eyes widened as they made contact with the boy, his body almost as bad as Oluo.

"Jesus, what happened??" Levi asked with a cold snap in his voice, but their was a crack of sadness as he threw off his entire cape to stop the bleeding. Logan knew he was done for, pushed the cape away, but kept Levi's hand in his own.

"We were ambushed." Logan gasped as pain spread like a wildfire. his hands fumbled to grasp a object inside his bloodied polo shirt. "Please, s-save my sister, and give her this for me." He handed the letter to Levi who took it with guilty. He shook the thought out of his head, and gave a glare with his smoldering eyes.

"You're going to live." This boy was one he had saved once, he could do it again!! No one would die on him like others! He was always left alone in the end; cold, emotionless, and broken.

"We both know that's just wishful thinking." Logan gave a painful smile, and chuckled. He grasped Levi's hand tighter as his eyes began to flutter due to fatigue.

"Keep...My sister...Alive.." darkness took over his vision and Logan took one more breath.

"Please, Levi..."

The hand fell from Levi's. His eyes widened at the now dead comrade. He couldn't even save an innocent boy. The boy he had already save d once as a little kid, and he, only fifteen at the time. Levi stood up, the letter in his hand.

"Rest easy." Was the only thing that left his mouth before he turned his back to the peaceful man. He raced off, hoping to catch a glimpse of her pure hair in the sky. No more than half a mile North of Logan, Elise lay on her stomach in the cool, dense forest. She seemed to be fine, no scratches at all, and other than her shallow breathing, she was safe.

"Shit white." Levi addressed her, glaring down at her body though it was only to calm the right feeling constricting his chest.

She made no move.

"OI." He called again, poking her with his foot. He heard a slosh underneath her body, and the smell of blood was let into the air. He collapsed to his knees and flipped he around where her clothes were stained crimson in the shape of an 'X'.

"Shit!" He cursed, using a cloak hoping to stop the spread out bleeding. A pulse. He needed a pulse.

Pressing his two fingers to her soft neck, a pulse skipped each deadly beat. He picked her up bridal style and rested her head on his broad chest. He raced out of the titanic forest faster than he had ever tried while Elise's life hung in the balance.

"I need help!" He called out to the survivors of the group. Of course, their faces were filed with fear as Levi approached carefully with the fallen Yang sibling in his arms. Mikasa looked up from the cart where Eren lay unconcise.

"Elise!!" Armin and Mikasa recognized the girl immediately, racing over to the corporal. Mikasa's eyes were filled with a broken hope as she took her friend's had in her own; Armin broke down crying at that moment.

"And Logan??" Mikasa asked quickly, hoping she could explain what happened softly to the older brother, but Levi shook his head.

"He didn't make it."

Erwin ordered for one cart to carry the precious cargo back to the walls. Every available cloak was used as Elise's blankets, bandages; and Levi's own cloak was gently set under her head before he mounted his horse for the ride back.

"Elise, you're gonna make it!" Jean spoke to her as he sat next to her body. He watched as more blood was smothered by bandages and her breathing became more labored. Other than Marco, Elise had become a very important to him.

"Titans approach!!" Levi turned to find two idiots with three Titans on their asses as they carried a dead body.

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Groaned Levi as he rolled his eyes. Erwin chuckled next to him as the titan drew nearer. He knew what to do, and simply nodded to Levi to carry out the job.

"Dump the bodies!" Levi ordered the men as they were the heaviest loads. They looked at him as if he was crazy, but the sense was too simple not to ignore. One by one, the bodies rolled off and the wounded regiment escaped with their lives. That did not stop the titans, but the loud roar that echoed from the hell called titan forest caused all three stop and disperse. This caused Levi and Erwin to exchange a look before continuing on.

~~~~~~~

They reached the wall, and made their way back to Headquarters.

"We need a doctor!!" Erwin called out upfront, bringing him back to Elise. Levi trotted next to Elise's cart along with Allegro who had followed the man through the forest and galloped next to Elise as she lay unconcise.

"You!" The doctor pointed to him, ushering him off his horse and onto the slow cart. "I need you to turn her head away from her abdomen. I'm going to begin stitching and I don't want her to see this." He pulled her shirt up to Elise's waist, showing the deep gashes that still bled. A shiver was sent down both Levi and Jean's backs at the sight.

Though, he still agreed and used each hand on either side of her face to shield her closed eyes from the gruesome sight.
