Eren's POV

It's been 2 years since Annie and I "broke up" 2 years since I got fired, 2 years since I found out I was a shadow-crawler,

Basically us shadow-crawlers hunt down Rogues (demons) or spirits that have gone rogue at night, we don't exactly kill them, 'cause well, you can't kill something that's already dead, we just send them back to where they came from- the underworld,

And apparently to be a shadow-crawler it's gotta run in your blood, so that meant every one in my family is- or was a shadow-crawler back in their time,

Did I mention some shadow-crawlers have the ability to turn into wolves? But theres a really small chance you'll get that ability, then again, those guys are on a whole 'nother level, they're called the wolf-crawlers, sounds pretty weird I know, but hey, they've got kick ass powers.

I let out a yawn, stretching my arms as I walked out of my dorm, my clothes slightly crumpled,

"Don't you look presentable." Jean snickered mockingly, his eyes fixated on my necktie,

"Eh, at least I get the job done." I smirked, leaving him with an angered expression

"Hey Eren!" Armin called out, his hand flying to my right shoulder causing me to stop,

"Hey Armin." I let out a smile,

"Levi said he needed to talk to you."

"Can it wait? I wanna have coffee." I whined, my feet stomping on the floor in frustration,

"Coffee can wait Eren, he said it was important."

As soon as Armin said that, I nodded and headed for his office,

When Levi says something's important, that shit's definitely important,

"Reporting for duty sir!" I saluted,

"For God's sake close the damn door Eren." He rolled his eyes,

"Oh uh, right Sir." I stuttered, closing the door behind us,

"First of all, you're partner's been transferred to a different branch-

My eyes widened as my hands flew straight onto the table, "Woah woah woah, what? He abandoned me?"

Letting out an irritated sigh, Levi ignored my blunt response and started talking again,

"Yes, he abandoned you, but-

"So what? That leaves me teammate-less?" I asked, cutting him off once again,

"The term's partnerless idiot, and no, you're not, we've transferred you to a different rank, which means yes you've been promoted blah blah blah, you're partner goes by the name Mikasa Ackerman, here's the file."

"Now get out."

"Gee, what was that about?" Armin asked, appearing by my side once again,

"I've been promoted." I grinned,

"Really? Woah that's amazing Eren!"

"Yep, andddd my partner just abandoned me."

"Oh- yay?"

"I got a new one though."

"It's official then, all of that is good news." He smiled goofily causing me to laugh,

"Yeah, her name's Mikasa Ackerman, here's her file." I said, handing him the file, only to be met with wide eyes,

"What?"

"Lets talk about this downstairs, Im starving."

My brows furrowed as I followed, my eyes catching a curious looking Jean,

I wonder what that was about

———

"So, what's the deal with this Mikasa girl." I asked,

"Is she like, some really badass girl?"

"You could say that." He laughed, wiping his mouth with a napkin,

"What? What do you mean?"

He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off with "don't you dare call me Justin Bieber"

"Okay okay, sheesh." He said, throwing his hands up with surrender,

"She's got a really rough past dude, if she's easily annoyed or something you gotta understand her."

"Noted, what else?"

"It's because of her partner, Petra Ral."

I cringed as I heard that name, it sounds so familiar, but I'm almost sure i've never heard of her,

"What about her?"

"They got a surprise mission 2 years ago, after that the girl was never found."

"She was Levi's fiancée."

My eyes widened upon hearing that, damn, no wonder he ended up being cold,

"He's had it rough ever since, well, we've all had it rough if I were to be honest."

"You couldn't blame him though." I sighed, my eyes closing as I imagined all the things that would've happened if I ended being in his position,

"No one could, I mean for something that bad to happen to his wife, no one deserved that, not even Petra."

I licked my lips, my thoughts drifting off to another topic,

I turned back to him, moving closer so no one could hear,

"Do you think she's dead?"

He stared back at me, like his blood had ran cold,

"No, no one does."
