Oluo and I never got to actually fight, since I was ordered to be transferred to the basement prison cells (if I wasn't training). How barbaric! From a peasant, to a princess, to a prisoner. Anyhoo, ever since I was dormed down here, I've been seeing more of Levi; he'd come down to talk, or simply just glare at me. I've come to realize that I genuinely enjoy these moments with him, these quiet, sad moments. However, everything changed when the fire nation attacked when he admitted something to me.

"Do you remember your parents?"

"Is that a rhetorical question, or are you just that idiotic to ask such a question, Levi?"

Levi rolled his eyes, "Remember the men, from that day, with the red wolf imprinted on them?"

I almost nonchalantly dismissed the question, until I processed what he had just said, "How'd you know? That shit's confidential between me, myself, and I."

I felt boiling anger seeping out of me in the form of tears and harsh words. I could've sworn that Levi's cold eyes showed a hint of emotion as I stood, divided from him by the cold bars. Was he part of the cult? Was he the younger boy guarding my house for those monsters? Was he the one barking orders at the men? No, he couldn't... That's just not possible.

"I know what you're thinking, and you're right."

I looked up and in the corner of my eye, I saw a giant eye; staring in, hungrily. Levi followed my gaze and abruptly walked over to my gate and unlocked it. He gestured to follow him, but in all honestly, I was more scared of him, than the titan. With that, I stood; feet planted to the floor.

"(F/N), come on. Brat. Are you going to choose to promote your ego and die? Are you fucking kidding me?! There's a fucking monster trying to get into the basement right now, so if you want to be angry with me do it later."

"All monsters are human. Look at those fucking titans, Levi. They're just larger versions of us, humans! Open your eyes! I'm not scared of some giant person with no fucking reproductive system."

"Look, to run and defend is a choice to be made as a pair, but if we stay, it's one of us who has to die. I'm too valuable and so are your dumb skills. Even if this world's cruel, we're to keep living on. In the end, we're still just fine to keep smiling on. It doesn't affect you!"

The walls came tumbling down, the roof caved in and I found Levi over me in an instant. Before the hideous, maniacal bastard stuck his hand through the holes in the roof, I thought to myself, one last thought... This tough love of Levi's can really lead to loathing...

What's going to happen now?

author's note: seriously wondering if I should just kill you off; maybe. xoxo. (; just keep reading!
