"Petra, I think.." Levi began in a strained tone, glancing over at her at see if she was actually listening. But there she sat, perked up and attentive as always. Tch.. he had kind of hoped she'd be off in lala land like she was with the rest of the squad.
What could he have called me all the way out here to say? She inquired, tilting her head in complete curiosity.
The expression etched onto her porcelain face made the man cringe, applaud that she still looked so content. Well- she hadn't a clue of what he was about to say so obviously she'd actively be immune to the signs of his annoyance.
"I have no interest in you. You're pathetic, and I dislike your company." The words clawed out of his throat, almost leaving a line of blood in it's wake. The face she now wore was one that slowly inched into agonized shock. Gapping for words, but only gambled thoughts made their way out.
"I don't understand- I.. you- you pr- But-" In that very moment she could feel her chest getting tighter as if constricted by a boa. A shot of icy water coursing throughout her heated veins in a painful rhythm aimed to cripple. A defense of the mind that begged her to run away from that hateful, indefinite risk of a human being. But somewhere, deep down.. a place none other than himself could reach- beckoned her forward. A pitiful dance between pride and want that left her mortified and struggling to remove herself from the ground. This tango of what's good for her and what's smart.
Levi turned his back on her then, tired of acknowledging the aching girl. "That's all."
'That's all' the words racked around in her head like a vicious tornado. Taring down all that was capable of being destroyed with the flick of it's whirl.
"I can change- I can-"
"That's not necessary." he responded coldly, cutting her chattering off. "Although.. I look forward to seeing you change. It'd prove quite the show."
The coldness was smothering her as he left with a mere wave of his hand and a simple shutting of the door.
And as she sat in that room, utterly alone, she finally allowed herself to collapse under the weight of her pain. Crumbling to bits on the floor.
