One woman sat alone, a child wrapped up in a bundle in her arms. Tears ran down her pale cheeks as the child opened his eyes. His life-filled eyes. She didn't want the life to drain from those grey orbs, so she knew she would have to give up the child to someone else. Someone who wasn't her.
She couldn't leave him with his bastard of a father, since he had already gone into hiding. That probably wouldn't last for long. He'll be dead in a couple of weeks- maybe a month if he's lucky- his body turned to dust.
She gave one final kiss to the child's forehead, before wrapping the old blanket tighter around her young. "I must leave you here, Levi." She whispered, her voice shaky and weak. She didn't want to be here, hidden in the shadows in front of a kind man's house. "You have to stay here. You'll be safe."
She knocked on the door, waiting for the man to come out. The man, Zhivago, was a kind-hearted friend, walked out. The smile on his face faltered as he noticed the distressed face of his friend, and the bundle she held in her arms. "What's up, Kuchel?" He asked.
The pattering of feet came from within the building, quickly ending up behind Zhivago. "Zhivago? Who's this?" The twelve year old questioned, looking at the frail woman.
"Not right now, Ban." His adoptive father replied, pushing him back into their home. "Go back into your room."
As the silver-haired kid disappeared, the man turned back to Kuchel and her child, a concerned look painted in his face. "What's wrong?"
I don't have a lot of time to explain. This is my son, Levi. He was born a week ago, and I think the Moon District had found out. He's a human, as far as I know, and they will stop at nothing to get to him. Please, take care of him." She pleaded, looking down at the boy once more. His expression was innocent, just like it should be. The poor thing shouldn't lose his life. He wouldn't even be here, if it weren't for her carelessness.
Zhivago agreed to take Levi under his wing, raising the child along with Ban, his other adoptive son. Kuchel returned to the shadows, saying her last words towards her baby, knowing she would probably not be able to ever hold, see, or talk to him again.
The boy reached out for the familiar warmth of the woman, his grey eyes filling with tears at the sudden change. Never would he see her again. Not even in his memories, because he would have no memories of her to replay in his mind.
First off, yes, Ban is going to be in this story. If you didn't know, Ban is from The Seven Deadly Sins, and his story is actually very similar to Levi's. They are also my favorite characters from both anime's, so that's a bonus. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this. It's 12AM, so there might be some mistakes.
Goodbye my demons!
