Levi woke up in the morning from the dim light seeping through the curtains. His back was to Petra's back. He rolled over to his other side and out of habit, rested his arm over Petra. She didn't wake, for once, she felt safe around him again, Levi had regained her trust for the night. He looked over her side at her face, he saw that her right eye was black. Petra had to explain to Levi what happened, because he did it, he was drunk, so drunk that he never remembered hitting her, but Petra didn't hardly care anymore, she was used to him abusing her now. Why didn't she leave? It was because she loved him. Levi finally got up, he went out to the kitchen and held his head for a while.

Damn hangover.

He looked over his shoulder at one of the kitchen counters, there were several empty bottles of all kinds of alcohol, and one half empty one.

Dammit! She must fucking hate me, I can be such an ass.

Levi shook his head at the thought.

No, she's just a dumb bitch anyways. Is she really worth my time anyway?

Levi felt irritated that the thought even dared to cross his mind. Her cute little smile and soft, strawberry blonde hair, flashed through his mind.

Damn her fucking kiss, how can she do that? How does she play with me like this, playing my mind. I love her though, Petra's the sweetest living thing I know...

What Levi didn't know, is that Petra wasn't playing with his mind, he was manipulating her. Slaying her from the inside, convincing her every time to stay when she tried to leave, jumping to conclusions when she hung out with her friend Auruo. He heard the cute ringtone he had set up for Petra's contact on his phone. Levi picked it up.

"Hello?" he asked, over the phone could hear her sleepy little voice.

"Where are you? Are you here at home?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here. Go back to sleep baby, you sound tired." he suggested.

"Okay." she murmured. All of a sudden her head a small, sharp, pain-induced, screech over the phone slip through her throat.

"Petra, are you okay?" Levi asked.

"Yeah, sorry, I was rubbing my eyes and my black eye is still a bit tender." Petra answered. Levi winced at the thought, he did that to her, he caused her pain.

But why do I care, she's probably used to this pain I inflicted on her now...

Levi shook away the thought. After a while, they hung up and Petra fell back asleep.


Petra thought she was home alone the next day, she had already gotten slapped in the face that morning and decided she had to do something to stop him, because he wouldn't. She grabbed her phone and tapped the contact the read, 'Auruo'. It picked up.

"Hello?" he asked over the phone. Auruo could hear Petra's crying, it wasn't loud, it was soft, but he could still hear it.

"Y-You have to save me, he won't stop!" she cried into the phone. Auruo knew right away what Petra was crying about, he knew Levi was trouble.

"I'll be right there, hang in there until I get over to you, okay?"

"O-Okay, thank you Auruo." Petra hung up, she was scared, and hoped that Levi truly wasn't home.

Petra was sitting on the floor next to her couch, crying into her hands. When Auruo got there, he opened the glass door to the living room she sat in. He walked over and went on both knees in front of her. She through her arms around his neck and he held her back. Petra burrowed her face in Auruo's shoulder for comfort as she began to cry harder.

"Shh, you're alright, I'm here." he murmured. Levi walked up, he was about to ask Petra something but stopped when he saw the two, but they never saw him. Levi was irritated.

Are you kidding me?!

He watched a little longer, but they still didn't notice him standing there, his mind jumped to conclusions.

What do I have to fucking do to make her learn? If she doesn't like the feeling of pain, then she should figure it out by now. It's like trying to train damn dog.

Levi shook his head angerly and walked out of the room. What was her punishment going to be tonight? That's the thought that Levi pondered.
