Chapter 1.
…400 years ago…
"Eren! stop it!" Levi laughed as he felt Eren hugging him from behind and start kissing his neck, the raven haired beauty continued to laugh as his husband shook his head and start tickling him making him shrike at Eren and plea to be released. Gods! His husband was such a child.
"But little Mary I am lonely and I missed you!" Eren said as he stopped torturing his wife, he smiled happily as he continued to hear Levi giggling happily, Levi looked up at him with tears running down his face from how much he had laughed when Eren had attacked him.
Levi smiled at Eren and wiped his tears away and sit on the bed, pulling down his nightgown that had hiked up when Eren had tickled him. "I missed you too, but remember Eren our baby is resting." Levi said as he run his hand through his long hair that reach the middle of his back. Only to blink when he heard the sound of their baby crying from the next room. "I guess she is awaken now, I wonder who's fault was that?" Levi shoot Eren a pointed look making his husband raise his hands up with a soft smile.
Levi smiled at that and stood up heading to their baby's room, minutes later he come to his and Eren's room humming a song to the baby in his arms. That sight made Eren's golden eyes shine with love and warmth as he saw his love sit on the bed next to him and he looked at his baby with wonder.
His child was a girl named Carla, his love had wanted to honor his dead mother that he didn't have the chance to meet, so he named their child by her name, his child have a raven hair and milky white skin just like her mother, but she had his eyes. that made Eren give a sad smile as he looked at Levi. "Do you regret it?" Eren asked as he looked at the love of his life. "Do you regret chosen me, Mary?" Eren asked again making Levi frown at him and sighs.
"Eren, I told you before. I don't care if we are poor. I love you, and I will always chose you and Carla over my family wealth every time." Levi whispered. That made Eren look at Levi with a glassy eyes and nod his head happily at that holding his love and their child tightly to his chest.
"I love you too. I love you so much that I hurt to stay away from you and our child." Eren whispered as he held his family close to his chest. Levi sighs at the warmth and held their daughter in his arms and hummed a soft lullaby to their child.
Two years ago, Eren start working as a gardener in the Ackerman's mansion, his mother had pass away from illness, and his father a doctor had died before that. he had met Levi a month after he had start working there and the two of them became friends. Mary Ackerman the woman that was known for her beauty across the kingdom, that suitors will kneel before her and give her anything she want just for her to give them a chance to court her. she was 15 at that time and he was 20 an unlikely friends because of their status, she was a rich, smart, and a beautiful woman inside and out, which was something that you will never be able to find in any rich woman in this time. And he….. he was nothing but a poor, dirty boy that had done nothing but farming all of his life, after his father death at the age of ten he had dropped from school and start working in his family's farm until his mother's death, he wasn't smart like her, nor was he handsome. But they had became friends in the end.
After that they had fell in love with each other. Eren didn't get his hopes up in being able to court the beauty that was known as Mary Ackerman, after all he had nothing but a golden key that was a gift from his father before his death other than that he had nothing. But Mary didn't care about that, she was the one who confess, he remember that day he was so much happy that he had cried which only made Mary laugh at him softly and held him until he had calmed down. After that Eren had went to Mary's father, lord Ackerman to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. That had made lord Ackerman enrage at him that he had lost his job, but Mary had a fight with her father because of that and he was there to see. And Mary had the choice, to chose him and be disowned, or to marry lord Smith from a rich and high status. But Mary had chose him, she left everything for him. and somehow he felt like it was all his fault, even when Mary had assure him it was her own choice.
But what Eren had discover next had shocked him to the core, his love Mary was a man, and not any normal man at that but he was a 'Carrier' a man that can bear a child, the carriers are so rear that it was said they don't exists. Mary or as his love had told him his real name 'Levi' had chose him over his wealth. They had return to Eren's farm then they had met his sister 'Isabel' who was happy for Eren and Levi, Isabel had married 'Farlan' who was another farmer that doesn't live far away from them. After the two of them had married the Gods had blessed them with a child, a beautiful girl. But even after a year and a half, Eren can't stop himself feeling guilty about destroying Levi's bright future.
"Don't think about it." Levi whispered making Eren hum at that and nod his head like he always do. Levi smiled at that and hummed as he looked at their child that was sound asleep. "Do you think that I should cut my hair or not?" Levi asked. Eren blinked at that and looked at Levi with a smile.
"You will look beautiful, long hair or short. You will always be a beautiful." Eren kissed Levi's forehead making the younger male smile at that. "I wanted to give you something that I hope you will like." Eren said as he let go of Levi and took the golden key that he had hide under his pillow.
"What is that?" Levi asked as he looked at the key with wonder making Eren smile at that, and put the key that he had turn into a necklace around Levi's neck.
"It was my father's. he give me that golden key before his death, and told me to cherish it. and now I am giving you the golden key because I want you to know that I will always cherish and love you until the day I die, Levi." Eren said as he looked at Levi, making the shorter man look at him with a glassy eyes and nod his head with a smile.
Levi laughed happily as he felt Eren held him tightly. They two of them are finally happy.
EXL
Levi hummed happily as he sew a clothes to their baby, he had told Eren the truth when he had said that he didn't care about his wealth or being disowned. Levi too had lost his mother like Eren, but he had lost his mother at the age of five, at that time he was still Levi and his mother had taught him to always follow his heart no matter what. Even when his family discover that he was a carrier, his mother still continue with protecting him from them, but when she had died Levi had died with her too, and Mary was born into this world.
Levi won't say that he hate his father, and he won't say that he like the man, after all the man had took his happiness away. But when Levi had met his husband, it was like he was Levi again and not Mary. Even when his love call him by that name, it is more of a nickname than anything else, his Eren had fell in love with his real name the second he had utter it. he only wished that his love will stop felling guilty.
They have a perfect life even if they were poor, and a beautiful daughter that Levi was sure will be a beautiful like his Eren. his love was a handsome man, he didn't know from where his self-shaming had came from, but he hope that it will end. They have their own farm and house and the two of them work, he in sewing clothes and Eren as a farmer. He wonder sometimes why Eren think that he wasn't happy with this life.
Levi smile softly as he looked at his daughter in her crib, he was sitting on a chair beside her crib watching as she laughed and talked in her own language. Levi just coo to her making her laugh at that and coo back to him making him laugh softly at that and hum returning to his sewing with a small smile. He hoped that Eren will return to their home soon.
Levi heard the front door of his home being knocked on and he frown at that, Eren never knock on the door. Levi sighs softly as he stood up kissing his daughter's forehead and head to the door to open it, once Levi did he narrow his eyes at the man in front of him. "Lord Smith. It is a surprise to see you here. What can I do for you?" Levi said as he get out of his home and close the door behind him, he never trusted Erwin and never would. After all the man was like a snake, fooling you with his lies then struck to kill.
"Ah! Mary, it had been a long time since I had saw you, three years I presume." Erwin said with a fake smile. Now as much as Levi wanted to frown at that fake smile, he still have his morals, so with that he smiled too.
"Yes, you are right. But you never answered my question, Lord Smith." Levi said with a smile as his hands clinch into fists, when will Eren return back home?
"Can you invite me to your….. lovely home?" Erwin said. And Levi didn't even miss the grimace on the man's face as he looked at his home. That made Levi frown and his face to turn to an emotionless one.
"I am truly sorry, Lord Smith. But my husband isn't home right now." Levi said, stretching the word 'husband' in hope that the man before him won't have any funny thoughts about having a chance with him. Erwin Smith had tried, believe me when he said he tried everything in the book to get Levi to accept marring him. sometimes Levi wonder if Erwin was stupid, or just didn't understand the word 'NO' that he repeat over and over every time that man was near him.
Erwin just frown at that but nod his head with a smile and hummed. "Well then, I guess that I had over welcomed my stay. It was nice to see you again Mary, farewell then." With that Erwin turn around and head to the carriage that was waiting for him.
Levi frown as he saw Erwin leave, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling tugging his heart at that.
EXL
"I am telling you Eren, I don't feel save with that man is out there." Levi said as he held Eren tighter, making Eren hum at that and held him too, minding their child that was sleeping between them. "Eren, I hear that a fortuneteller was in the village for a week, can we go and see them tomorrow?" Levi said as he looked up at Eren.
Eren sighs at that and looked at Levi, his love was on the edge ever since Lord Smith had shown his face this morning, and he have to say he was too. "Fine love, we will head there the first thing in the morning." Eren whispered with a smile, making Levi give a soft smile at that too.
Suddenly they jump as they heard a breaking sound coming from outside of their home. Eren stood as fast as he can and looked out of the window only to see the villagers outside holding up torches and forks. Eren freeze at that and looked at Levi who was holding their daughter who was crying softly. "The villagers outside." Eren mutter making Levi give him a confused and frighten look.
"W-why? Do you think that they discover that I am a carrier?" said Levi with a trembling voice. it was true that carries were a miracles on earth to some kingdoms, but not their kingdom, no. for them a carrier was a curse that they want to get rid of, but the question that was running throw their heads was, who told them? The only people who knew who he truly was, were Eren's family, his father, and….. "Erwin!" Levi gasped out making Eren turn his face to look at him fast. "Erwin must have told them! Other than our families he was the only person who knew the truth." Levi choke out as he heard the sound of screaming and shouting coming from the outside.
Eren just moved fast to pull Levi out of the bed, not caring that Levi was only wearing his white nightgown. They had to get out of here with their child, maybe they could move to another kingdom or something but they had to get out of here right now!
They two of them freeze as they saw some of the villagers were able to break the door and Levi shook softly as he saw Eren standing in front of him protectively. "MOVE ASIDE! WE ONLY WANTED THAT WITCH!" a man yelled out as he came near them, but Eren was fast and he took out a knife that was behind him and slash the man's forearm. The man yelled and backed away making everyone look at the two of them with shock and fear.
"THE WITCH HAD CASE A CURSE ON HIM! HE WILL CURSE US ALL!" a woman screeched in the crowd. Making the men and women yell in rage. Levi flinch at that and held his daughter tightly to his chest as she start crying hard, Eren was pressing him back, away from the people's harmful hands.
Eren growl at them as he heard Levi's frightened sobs as he held his daughter even more tightly, he had to find a way out. Eren start attacking every person who dared to come near them. The crowds were yelling, their child's cries, and Levi's silent prayers were the only thing that was heard that night. But no matter how much Eren fought against them, he know he couldn't win this fight, he was only a single man against the whole village, everyone knew that he will end up dead anyway.
Levi watch in horror as a man thrust his sword in Eren's heart, making his love fell on the floor with his dead eyes on his. Levi didn't know from where that scream of terror had came from, it took him a minute to realize that it had came from him. he saw how the villagers come to him, how they had ripped his child away from him. they dragged him out of his house, but to his horror they throw his child near Eren and light the house on fire.
Levi remembered who he had begged and screamed for them to save his child, to save Eren! to do something! But they had done none. Only tying him to a tree and made him watch how his happiness was burning to the ground, his child had stopped screaming and crying soon after they had lightened his house, that made Levi choke on his breath and sob harder and cursing this village and everything in it.
Levi had stayed tied up to that tree until morning, he was shivering as he saw his house that was nothing but a sad pile of burnt timbres and way too many ashes. Levi wondered if his love and their child's ashes was there too, dancing in the morning's light like a gray snowflake.
Levi turn his head as he heard the sound of a carriage came to a halt near him and he growled as he saw Erwin Smith get out of that carriage and show his face. he saw that disgusting smirk that was hiding by his stoic face and he growled at that. once he saw Erwin kneel before him to talk, he spit on that bastard's face. he took a dark pleasure from the shocked and disgusted look on that bastard's ugly mug. Though Erwin stood up only to slap him on the face hard, making him bite his bottom lip hard enough to bleed.
"I will only give you this one chance Levi, so chose wisely." Erwin said in a low voice that made Levi sneer at him. "You can chose me and you will live, or you can say no or you will die. So what do you think?" Erwin hummed slowly as he look at the house that was nothing but ashes right now.
"I curse you." Levi mutter making Erwin turn to him raising his brow at that. "I CURSE YOU ALL! ALL OF YOU! UNTIL THE LAST ONE OF YOU! I CURSE YOU!" Levi shrike at them making the villagers screech in distress that the witch had curse their village.
That only made Erwin snort and he looked at his servants. "Put him in the carriage." He said as he head to the carriage not caring about the shouts and screams that were heard from the villagers.
EXL
Levi growl as he rock himself back and forth hiding his face from the mirrors that were all around him. after that day he had lost his family months ago, Erwin took him to his castle and locked him up in a room in the highest tower there was, in a room full of mirrors. "So you can see how much of a whore you had turn to." The bastard had said.
Levi shiver violently as he raised his head to look at one of the hundreds mirrors that were there. He had become skinny, practically nothing but a skin and bones his cheeks were hollowed from the starvation they had forced him to in this months, and his skin held nothing but burns and bruises he had gain from them beating him up daily, the only thing that was hiding his disgusting body was his nightgown he had wore the day his family had left this earth. Gone the beauty everyone had praised him with, and in its place was nothing but a shell that he was waiting for it to die so he could finally be with his family.
"Did you hear?" one of the guards that was outside his room spook to the second. Levi just turn his head to the only place that didn't have a mirror in it which was the door.
"Yeah, I heard that Lord Smith will take that disgusting thing to his bed tonight. I don't know what he was seeing, the beauty had bleed from that thing only to show it is true self as a wicked witch." The second mutter as he looked forward.
Levi freeze at that and shook even more as tears start running down his face. a sneer then don his face at the thought of that bastard sharing his bed after what he had done to his husband and child. At that Levi stood on his shaky legs and head to one of the mirror that was in the far end of his prison. He move it a little to show a knife that he was able to steal from one of the guards.
Levi looked at his reflect once more and give a small smile, he will be with his child and love soon enough. With that with all of the strength that left in his body, Levi cut his left hand off. Blood start flooding down freely from the place that his hand was supposed to be in soaking his dirty white gown in it. with that Levi took his last breath as he died surrounding by his blood in the room full of mirrors.
EXL
It was dark when Erwin had enter the room and he frown, it was midnight because he didn't have any time to visit Mary until now, but nonetheless he took a candle that was near the guards as he enter the room, he looked around the place until he saw a figure that was lying on the floor in the center of the room.
Erwin rolled his eyes at that, as soon as Mary accept him he will case this punishment away. But until he say yes, he will stay in this dark room full of mirror. Once Erwin reached Levi he freeze as he saw one of Levi's hand cut off. He growl at that and looked at the guards that were outside if the room. "WHO KILLED HIM?!" he growled at them making them jump in fear at his booming voice.
"W-what do you mean sire? We had been guarding this room for hours." One of the guards said as he look at Erwin with a confused face. that made Erwin frown and kick Levi's corps until he saw the knife in his hand.
Erwin sneer at that then smirk cruelly at the dead body before him. "Bloody Mary." He mutter and then laughed at that making the guards back away in fear that their Lord had gone made. "A name that suit you now, don't you think?" he said as he start walking around the corps in a circles.
"S-sire… you shouldn't insult the dead, b-because of you d-did their s-spirit will be after you." Said the second guard shivering in fear at the thought of that witch's spirit after them.
That made Erwin snort and laugh once more. "Oh, is that so?" he mutter and the two guards nod their head hurriedly. That only made Erwin snicker at their fear filled faces. "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary. I killed your baby." Erwin smirk at the guards as they shrike in fear and run out of the room.
Erwin rolled his eyes once more and looked at Levi's corps only to see nothing there. Erwin furrow his brows in confusion and looked at one of the mirrors only to see Levi looking at him with a sneer. Erwin jump at that and yell and looked all around him only to see Levi's dead face appearing in every mirror in the room.
Levi's long hair was drenched in blood, same as his gown and half of his face. he was carrying the knife in his right hand while his left that was cut was pointing at Erwin. Erwin shiver in disgust as Levi's pale skin was mattered with black and blue bruises.
Though Levi smirk at him making Erwin back away to the door, Erwin gulp as he heard the door being slammed shut behind him. "I will kill you!" Erwin heard Levi said after that Levi scream an ear piercing scream that made Erwin fall on his knees while holding his hands to his ears to stop that horrible voice from shrieking like a banshee.
Erwin then yell and back away to the door as he saw Levi get out of the mirror and start walking to him still pointing his cut hand at him. the screams continue and this time it was mixed with Erwin's as he was tortured in the room full of mirror.
After that the castle servants found their lord's dead body, his eyes were ripped and his head was cut from its place in his body. All the mirrors in the room were broken.
The years run after that incident and the legend of 'Bloody Mary' become known to the land. Everyone who tried to summon her was killed in a horrible way, though one of the woman said that she could show you your future husband if you repeat her name three times.
Centuries start passing and the true story of 'Bloody Mary' became forgotten, but the only true thing that was known, is that she will kill you the second you utter her name in front of a mirror.
So what do you think?
