LONG BEFORE WE MET
chapter 2-Just thinking
HEY YA ALL! I'm back. Couldn't stay away it seems, but damn am I happy to be here. Thank you for reviewing guys I really appreciate the nice comments. They truly made my day better. I threw my fists up in the air and screamed in victory as if evil had been defeated. Truly. AAAAAAND, I'm not saying this like a snob under disguise:)))) So yeah, enjoy, read and review!
PS: In this chapter there is some cursing and mild sexual references. It is not something like : "WOW! oh goodie, PORN!" But enough to make some people uncomfortable. Keep in mind that the story is T-rated. For further chapters that might require more explicit content, I will add additional fragments of the story in a M-rated spectrum.
ANYWAYS. Here we go
Cassie hollered through the hall, the screams reverberating though the empty space with the obvious intent of announcing breakfast. At 6 AM the building was still eerie quiet, the only tactile sounds being the one of the too jolly birds; so much for a happy day. She skittered along the polished tiles and marble repeating the same sentence over and over until her throat get sore and achy.
She hated this part of the job, well, she loathed running in general. But that AND waking grumpy scouts to break their fast, well that was a big No-no. Their rude remarks were always fresh and foul in the mornings. They did apologise for it later after refreshing their deplorable state, but they still stung on a somewhat profound level. She just wish she were able to put laxatives in their meals every morning, but she couldn't bear if some of them were injured by fighting the titans with this condition levelling down their boost of energy.
Not being the only one didn't give her any leverage to handing the job over. It was either her or Ney, and well her friend would have the hall up in no time with her cuss words. She cursed like a biker and was very inventive, by melding two or more languages to create new 'delicious combinations' as she would call them. Not that she actually knew any languages besides Italian, which was her childhood feat although her not having any such roots. All the sleepy individuals would slam their door open, especially the juvenile population, and start retaliating with whatever they could conjure at the moment.
She knew that because Ney had once offered to assist her in completing this chore. Well, let's say that things hadn't gone very smoothly.
-Flashback-
"WAKE UP SHIT-HEADS" Ney banged on one's door with a frypan so hard, that the wood actually dented due to the force the teflon covered utensil.
"Take your fucking head out of your ass and start moving!'". She paused little to gather her thoughts and rubbed her chin between her forefinger and index one. Her face lightened up as another row of offensive words sprung from her mouth.
At the harassment, several scouts sprinted out of their room, clothes creased and tattered, stopping right before her and pounding their heart with their right fist, while their other one was gingerly placed at the back of their lower stomach. Ney smiled in appreciation and rumpled their head affectionately.
"Go on lads" her mouth curved up, the dimples just below her mouth showing "Fill up your skinny bones, before the others dive in it like in a loch. Ya' all know the lassies fancy a nice strong arm to hang on" She winked. They laughed, husky noises that made her eyes sparkle, and skittered along the exit in search of the kitchen. Taking a nice deep breath she screamed and banged a couple more doors.
Now everyone out there might think 'Soooooo, what's the problem? She seems to do a pretty terrific job' . Well my dear readers, I'm afraid this is where the trouble begins.
Ney, sensing that her announcement was getting thoughtfully ignored, she doubled her efforts and even stumbled upon the room of a few, unlucky enough to leave they door unlocked, wait, scratch that. The superiors deemed mandatory that the cadets leave their doors devoid of key, so all of the poor souls out there were unfortunate to fall prey under Ney's ministrations.
She loudly approached the bed and swiftly pulled the covers off a very naked, very asleep lad. 'Oh lovely' she thought rolling her eyes. She sighed and got to work. After coiling the thin blanket and simulating a rope out of it, the lass started 'whipping' the boy, not with the much required force, but just enough for him to feel a sting and drift out of slumber. Instead, he shifted a little around and let out a loud, long moan, his face painted with contentment. As if that wasn't enough, he shuffled closer to where the Ney-contraption had came from.
"OH CRAP!" Ney said out loud. And quickly dropped the blanked as though it had burned her. She then thought for a couple of moments and curled her mouth in a devious smirk.
"Darlin'..." She sing-songed "If you...by any chance fancy for other people to know..your...peculiar interests as one might call them. I strongly advise you to get your ugly pimply ass in row." Nothing. Wow, this guy was really dead to the world.
Sensing a curious glance eloping her, she turned her head to the side, noticing a horrified scout that kept shifting his eyes from Ney to his companion.
She tilted her head and motioned him closer with her eyebrows. Once he was in an acceptable proximity, she whispered with a conspirator air "Be careful with that now. If you let your stance down with that one, you might have the pleasure to find a hand down your pants sooner, rather than later".
He jerked back, pale and quivering, but Ney only batted had eyelashes for effects and strode towards the door. Halting her step, she turned her rotated her head sideways and added "Take care of that will ya' lad" She jerked her head toward the heap on the still occupied bed "I'm sure he's exhausted after pulling on the string all night. No wander he can't get enough of it" looking at his crouch for emphasis she stepped out and as soon as she spotted Cassie who looked as if she had swallowed a toad.
"What?" she inquired, hands thrust in the air.
"Nothing" Cassie mumbled marching away from the 'crime scene' "Fudging nothing".
End of flashback-
She cringed at the memory. Having been at the other side of the door and not actually engaging in the conversation hadn't been exactly comforting. The deed was done, but the least she could do was take up that job and make sure such things don't happen though Erwin had been amused and had applauded Ney for her approach, the way her friend's eyebrows had hit her widow's peak hairline at Levi's dark gaze had been her last straw of patience. A beating awaited her dear, AMIE .
Little did she know that Levi's face had cracked with one of those rare smiles and Ney had even been rewarded with a gruff and unpracticed laugh. Having been to anxious and hasty in her leave, Cassie has missed it.
She huffed and shoved a few bangs of her russet hair out of her face. She had always felt attracted to Levi from the moment she had seen him. Not that he noticed her in any way. She was quiet and subdued, whereas Ney was outgoing and loud.
But she knew that Ney had more demons than she let on. She had never told her anything about her past. Whenever Cas asked, she waved them away deeming them unimportant. Her shoulders sagged , but, remembering that she was on the job, Cassie squared her shoulders and knocked at each door, trying gingerly to wake them before Ney lost her patience and came marching right through their feeble and worn oak doors.
Her thoughts kept drifting to Levi, if he found out what would he do? 'Maybe I should force him to take responsibility for his deeds' something from within her stated, but she quickly brushed it off, saying that it was childish, although an ember of it still lingered in her soul, taking root.
Soooooooooo here is the end of the second chapter. Things are not quite what they seem right? Wrong? Only time will tell. Please review and tell me ht you think. All critiques are welcome!
