They were the voices of two males, one sounding like he was angry and frustrated while the other sounded frantic and nervous. But aside from the two noises, there was nothing else.

"Find her. Find them. They are out there, I can feel it. I know they're out there," one claimed as he gave out orders.

"S-Sire... Empress Marie had passed a long time ago w-when giving birth to-"

"Quiet!" the first demanded, "I said what I said. Now do as I say or you shall receive a punishment."

"Yes, sire..."

F/n stood there, stunned. She did not understand a few words they were saying but she knew a few things they had said. The voice seemed familiar and yet still foreign for her to listen to.

Footsteps were what she heard next followed by silence. Just as F/n was about a voice spoke to her but when she turned around, there was nothing but thin air.

"Help."

A gasp she let out, body jolting abruptly upwards from her previous laying position on the white-sheeted bed. Her hand flew to her chest as her heart rattled against her chest, violently enough for her to feel it against her hand.

She was stunned, her eyes widened and her mind repeated the word over and over again.

Help.

One simple word and yet could set a loud alarm to many.

They sounded so desperate like they were trying to reach her but they couldn't. Like they were trying to explain further but they couldn't. And F/n just knew that it had something to do with the men she heard from outside the room.

F/n flinched hard when the door opened at the time she least expected it to. But to be fair, she did not know what to expect anymore. Levi walked in instead of Hange and she was quite confused, to say the least.

He carried a tray with a teapot and two cups before placing them down gently on the table beside her bed. A study table.

She watched as he poured the tea into each of the cups, taking both and giving her one before taking a sip from the one he kept for himself.

F/n observed the cup of tea in her hands, the lukewarm dark brown liquid with a few smaller-sized tea leaves. The liquid rippled at every movement she had, even when she tried to move less.

Levi observed her, eyes bloodshot and cheeks tinted. Her lips were apart and her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She had another dream, he concluded but he was not to pry unless she said something to him.

The woman blinked, trying to get rid of the sleepiness in her even after she jolted awake all of a sudden. That was the longest sleep she had had in a few days, having to mostly stay with Levi while drinking some tea.

Black tea as that was the first and the only tea she had ever tasted and when she did, she didn't know if there were any other drinks that were better than that.

Help.

The voice echoed through her mind again, snapping her away from her train of thought about her friends. It had caused her to look around the room despite Levi being there with her, watching this whole time.

Her eyebrows were furrowed and she seemed distracted. Her dream must be one of the worst ones then and Levi decided to speak up.

"What did you dream about?" he asked and she caught his eyes. But like every other time when they would meet, a shiver would always run down her spine, so anticipating and really nerve-wracking.

"Bad. Nightmare," she said, "Someone... someone talking. Two."

"You heard people talk?" Levi repeated.

"Yes," she confirmed, deciding to keep the desperate voice she heard a secret instead.

"What did you hear?" he asked, taking another sip of his tea.

There was a moment of silence and Levi took this quite harshly. She had never been so hesitant with him before, always telling him about everything and anything that-

F/n, on the other hand, was just thinking about whether or not she should listen and go to find the owner of the voice in her mind. It wasn't in her dream, she finally understood.

It was in her head and she was signalled to go. Wasn't it?

She did not know either but whatever it was, she had to speak to someone about it. To ask for their help and their opinion on this matter.

The only problem is: Who is the most suitable person to speak to?
