Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? This is a sort of short chapter, but I have Chapter 4 already written, I just need to edit it, so it should be up in the next hours or days. Also, I decided to write a lot this week because next week I'm going to be watching Shark Week all week and I don't know if I would have time to watch it and also keep up with my writing and updating. Also, I'm working on Chapters 4 and 5 of my other story, The Sins of Our Past. If you read that story too, then keep an eye out for an update soon. Okay, so in this chapter, Levi tells Eren more about vampires, Erwin visits for a little bit, and Eren gets a surprising call from someone. Also, hinted fang babies (that's what I call vampire babies).
Italics are text messages.
And I hate doing this but, I DO NOT OWN ATTACK ON TITAN/SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN OR THE CHARACTERS!
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
"How about you tell me a little more about vampires?" I say and sit across from Levi at the counter.
"Don't you already know about us? They teach you this when you become a hunter don't they?"
"Yeah, but I wanna know how much of it is true."
Levi sighs. "Okay, fine. I'll enlighten you." He places his hands on the counter top. "As you probably know, all vampires were created by Dracula. He went missing about five hundred years ago and many assume he's dead. He does have a great grandson, but none know of his whereabouts. We vampires survive off of the blood of another, whether it be animals or humans, though most prefer humans. There are some, however, who only suck the blood of animals. They call themselves vegans cause they think that killing humans is unjust and wrong, but to me it just sounds fucking retarded. I mean, you're killing animals, that makes you a regular vampire, not a vegan vampire. I think they watched too much Twilight."
"We don't sparkle, right?" I ask.
Levi's brow twitches. "No, our bodies aren't made of diamonds. When we are exposed to sunlight, we burn. Well, some of us. The stronger vampires can walk around in sunlight and never fry while the newbies end up as barbecue. Any more questions?"
"What happens during the mating cycle?"
"Mating cycle? Well, during the mating cycle, all vampires who are mate-less become sexually frustrated and feel the need to fuck the first vampire they see in this lustful state. To mate someone, you would need to bite their neck and drink their blood, thus leaving a mark on them. Don't worry, the mark only works during the mating cycle. Then you let your mate mark you and then you proceed with sex. Every mating season happens during the first week of every month. Usually only females can reproduce, but if a male fucks a descendant of Dracula or any other royal family, then said male will become pregnant. I don't know how it works it just does."
"So only royals can have children?"
"Yep, that's why most people resort to turning people and keeping them under their wing like an apprentice or something. Oh, and also, mating between a hunter and a vampire is forbidden."
I rub the back of my neck slowly. "Well it's not like I don't have any experience in sex, so the mating should be no problem for me. I've done it before when I was still a hunter."
"You're not a virgin, kid?" Levi says, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm twenty-two, I'm not a kid!" I growl, hugging my arms around my chest.
"You act like a kid. You even look like one. Are you sure you're not sixteen?"
"I'm sure. How old are you anyway? Forty?"
"Twenty-five." Levi says.
"Is that in vampire years or human?" I ask as I toy with the fabric of my shirt.
"Human. I've only been a vampire for two months. In two days, at the start of mating season, it will mark three months." Levi says.
I tap my fingers against the counter. "So, why aren't you mated to Erwin?"
"We've never marked each other because he feels like if he did mate me, he'd be depriving me of my freedom."
"That's so stupid. I mean, if you like each other, then why not be with each other?" I ask.
Levi stands from the counter and goes over to the couch in the living room. "I don't know kid, I don't know what Erwin's thinking."
I breathe in through my nose and catch a scent of heavy cologne. I bare my fags and growl. Levi pats my head and walks to the door.
"Down boy, it's just Erwin." He says and opens the door. A tall, thin man with crystal blue eyes and blonde hair steps through the door. He leans down and kisses Levi's cheek before he enters the living room where I'm sitting.
He sticks his hand out and waits for me to shake it, which I do. "Erwin, we met last night."
"As I'm told." I say and sink back into the couch. "Levi's told me a little about you, mostly just things about you being his boyfriend."
"I figured he would. He's usually possessive over his property, but it's how mates act." Erwin says as he sits down in the chair. He pulls Levi into his lap and places small, light kisses along his collarbone. "I'm planning on mating him in two days. Who will you mate Eren?"
"Well…nobody. I just turned and I've met nobody besides you, Levi, and Hanji."
"Levi, you'll need to take him out after mating season and let him get accustomed to some of the other mate-less vampires." Erwin says while he lifts Levi off of him. "Who knows? Maybe he'll find a mate and you won't have to be his mentor anymore."
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
"Hey, I'm not that bad!" I say and stand from the couch. I follow Erwin and Levi into the kitchen.
"Yeah, you tried to kill me after you woke up, not bad at all." Levi says as he tosses Erwin a blood bag.
"Eren tried to kill you?"
"Yeah, it turns out you and Isabel picked up a hunter." Levi leans against the counter. "But I calmed him down. Turns out he was angry cause he wanted blood, so I gave him some."
"Blood bags or your blood?" Erwin says as he finishes the blood bag. Levi looks away. "You gave him your blood again? Levi, you're only supposed to give a newbie your blood once otherwise he'll get attached to it."
"Is that why I'm addicted to your blood?" Levi says. He walks over to Erwin and licks his neck before piercing it with his fangs. Erwin releases a quiet moan and looks over to me. I shake my head and grab another blood bag from the freezer before leaving the couple alone in the kitchen. I head upstairs with my fangs deep inside the bag and grab my phone. Nine missed messages from Mikasa. I sigh and quickly text her.
Hey sorry Mikasa. I got sick and decided to stay in the dorms for the rest of spring break. I'll visit mother's grave at another time when I'm feeling better. How's dad doing?
I set my phone down and lay back against the bed. I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
"Oi, brat, get up." I hear Levi say. He shakes my shoulders.
"Hmm, oh Levi? What are you doing up here? Where's Erwin?" I ask as I reach my hand up to rub my eyes.
"Erwin left. It's just me and you now. Are you thirsty by any chance?" He asks. He holds out his wrist. I stare at the tempting flesh and listen to the blood pumping underneath.
I lick my lips and feel my fangs retract from my gums. "But Erwin said that I could become addicted to your blood if I drink it more than once."
"I don't care about that. You can drink my blood anytime you want." He says while he moves his wrist closer to my mouth. "Erwin doesn't know what he's talking about."
I grab his wrist and lick a trail down to his elbow. "Don't talk about Erwin when I'm about to drink from you, it makes me feel guilty knowing that you're going to mate him two days from now."
"Sorry, but you can have as much of my blood as you want within these two days. Just let me replenish my blood after every drink you have." He reaches up to stroke my cheek.
I nod and bite into his wrist. He hisses and balls the sheets up in his free hand. I remove my fangs and suck his flesh slowly and swipe my tongue over the two fang wounds. Levi whimpers when I bite down closer to his elbow and let his blood drip down his arm.
"Idiot, don't get blood on the sheets, I'll kick your ass if you do."
"Don't worry." I say and poke my tongue out. I lick a path from his wrist to his elbow and clean up the blood. I lick the wounds clean to close them up. Levi falls forward into my arms.
"Why…do you always….take so much…of my blood?" He asks through his panting.
"Sorry, where's your room? I'll take you there." I go to stand up but he stops me by laying his hand on my shoulder.
"No, Eren we don't sleep."
"Then why did I need to?" I ask.
"You had to sleep because your body was getting used to the effects of being a vampire. It still is. Everybody whose turned has to go through it. Other than that and sleeping after mating and blood drinking, we don't sleep."
"Wait, we sleep after mating?" Levi nods.
"We need to build up our energy and strength again because the mating is so rough." He says this with a blush. "I forgot to mention that earlier."
My phone dings and I reach over to get it. Mikasa replied to my text.
Eren I'm glad you decided to finally text me. I was worried sick. I thought something terrible happened to you. Thank God you're safe though. Dad's okay, but he's still testing out his experiments. Ever since we moved out he's had no one to test them out on. Also, I think he's going crazy. I visited yesterday and he was talking to that old photo of mom from hunter academy. He misses her, I get that, we all do, but seeing that was a little unnerving. Oh and, don't forget to visit mom soon, okay? I'll talk to you later.
"Friend of yours?" Levi asks.
"Sister, she was worried about me." I'm about to put my phone away when a mysterious number pops up on my screen. I press the answer button and switch it to speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hello Eren, you do not know who I am, but I know you. I must say according to my comrade, your blood was surprisingly sweeter than most despite you being a mere mortal. Anyway enough with the chit-chat, I have someone here who is just dying to see you again. Isn't that right sweetie?"
The phone is shifted and I hear a very soft voice. "Eren?"
"Annie?" The phone is shifted again. "What have you done with her you sick bastard?"
The person on the other line laughs. "Oh, I simply enhanced her abilities with a bit of poison and drained blood."
I look over to see Levi shift a little. "You okay?"
"Y-Yeah. I'm fine." He whispers.
"Who was that Eren? Was that your new lover?"
Levi flinches at the comment. "No, no I'm not his new lover, you piece of trash."
"Rivaille? Is that you? Oh, it's been so long, oh how are you darling?"
"Petra, cut the crap, why are you torturing this girl? She means no harm."
The person named Petra tsks. "She's important to our cause. I was hoping you would lead us again and take back your rightful mate."
"Like I would ever take you back or go back to that retched place!" Levi yells into the phone. He stands from the bed and goes into his bedroom.
"Are you coming to greet us Levi dear? Make sure you let Eren tag along. I wanna see his face when the love of his life turns into a monster. You hear that Eren? Your precious girlfriend is going to become one of us, she will be a vampire."
