"I thought I told you to stay away" Levi growled as Farlan and Isabel, along with their little group sat along side him at lunch time the next day.
"And we've decided not to listen" Farlan said way to carmly.
Levi glared at him.
"HEY GUYS! Our training starts soon, isn't this so exiting!" Jessica praticaly shouted...in Levi's ear.
"Whats so exiting about it? We do it everyday Jess" Farlan said, taking a drink from his cup of water.
"But I want to see how well the newbie does!" Jessica said, eagerly looking Levi up and down.
Levi raised his eyebrows at her interested stare.
Did she know it was rude to stare at people?
"Yeah, we'll see if the little mans as tough as his bark. He didn't seem it the way that women took him down" A voice sneered behind them.
A look of irritation was on Farlans face as he sighed "Go away Kian"
Kian was a tall boy with curly brunette hair, he was smirking down at them. He ignored Farlan, looking at Levi.
Isabel defended "The Solder who beat him was Hange Zoe. She's like one of Commanders right hand lady, she'd beat all of us hands down, it doesn't make him weak to be beaten by her"
"I wasn't talking to you bitch" Kian snapped.
Farlan growled "Don't talk to her like that!"
"Why not? She's a bastards child anyway. Shame they don't put the same sentace on the child as the parents" Kian sneered.
Isabel's eyes widened, dispelief in them and saddness, as well as a deep shame.
Levi's eyes widened as he looked at Isabel. Her parents were not married? He hadn't known that...
An odd feeling of guilt as he remembered the horrible fate the girl he'd found in the Underground had for being a single mother.
Isobel's parents must have had the death sentace...
Though her mother must have kept her a secret pretty well. If the mother was found to be unmarried and still pregnant they both were killed.
If the baby was born before then the baby was taken away, then the mother and if they were able to find the father would either be thrown in the Underground City or killed.
Farlan snapped, standing up he banged his fist against the table as he snarled at Kian "Say one more word I dare you!"
Isabel looked like she was going to cry.
Boris suprisingly gentle despite his large frame comforted her.
"I'm f-fine" She muttered.
"He shouldn't have brought it up" Boris said softly.
Samual seemed to scared of Kian to intervene in anyway.
Levi watched the scene unfold.
With Farlan and Kian both snarling at each other like wolves.
"You know I thought you were a pig as soon as I layed eyes on you. I'm glad I correct in that judgement" Levi said, without emotion.
All eyes turned on Levi, though his focus was on Kian.
"How about this. If you don't beat me at hand to hand combat, that we have in the evening. It said that on our timetable I believe? You leave everyone here apart from me alone" Levi said.
"Apart from you?" Kian said, a little confused.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can deal with you, anywhere, anytime, anyplace" Levi said factaully, relaxing in his chair.
Kian fumed, he reached out for Levi's shirt "Listern here you punk!"
Though before Levi could prove to him why he shouldn't be messing with him, he was suprised to see a hand reach out and grab Kians, stopping it from reaching Levi's shirt.
Boris was holding Kians arm, tightly enouth to leave bruises.
"I suggest you leave Kian. Take up Levi's offor if you're not a coward and go" Boris said in his soft voice of his.
He didn't sound threatoning but he'd stood up and he towarded over everybody, including Kian.
Levi was to suprised that someone had actaully defended him other than Isabel to really react to the situation.
"Allright, alright, you big brute! Let me go!" Kian shouted.
Boris let him go, Kian stumbled slightly before stratening himself, his cheeks burning in humiliation.
He straighted his shirt before turning to Levi.
His eyes flickering to everyones hard gaze before he spat "Fine, lets meet in hand to hand combat. I win I can do what ever I want to you and everyone here, you can't defend yourselves. I lose I'll leave your little gang along Farlan, though Levi's still fair game"
"Deal" Levi said boredly.
Kian turned to go but he went with some parting words that made Levi's veins freeze with ice "Never knew you were the type to welcome a street rat into your group Farlan" Kian sneered, before walking away.
Levi stiffened.
Wait...
How did he know that?
Hange didn't tell anyone did she?
He knew he shouldn't have trusted her not to tell them!
But Farlan and his group looked confused by this statement so Hange didn't tell them then?
But then how did he know?
"What did he mean b-by that?" Samual stammered, watching Levi warily.
Levi tapped his fingers on the wood, watching Kian walk of with narrowed eyes.
"Its nothing" He said.
They had 3D gear training first.
Farlan had happily explained to Levi (Even though he didn't ask) Why they trained in 3D gear.
Vampires were strong and fast though they could not fly, 3D gear gave them a advantage in speed and arial attacks.
"You sure you should of said no to the beforehand training for 3D gear?" Isobel asked him.
"Yes, I'll be fine" Levi grumbled, hooking up the gear.
He took a little longer working out where everything went though Farlan and Isabel watched him in awe.
He frowned at them "What?"
"You just managed to put that one without almost any effort! It took me ages to figure out where all those straps go" Farlan said.
Levi said, raising his eyebrows at him "Its called common sense?"
"You saying I have no commen sense?" Farlan asked, though there was a playful tone underneeth which Levi was unused to being adressed by.
Levi just smirked at him in response.
They all stood in front of the trees, their 3D gears ready.
Levi noticed angrily that Hange was there.
Dam, he hoped he'd got rid of her.
She gave him a cheery wave, he scowld at her.
"She going to follow you around everywhere? Kind of creepy dude" Farlan said, eyeing her.
"Tell me about it" Levi grumbled.
"Levi! How nice to see you! I see you've made some freinds! How wonderful..." Hange yabbered on and on as she walked over to them, pratically bouncing towards them.
Levi didn't bother correcting her though thinking, freinds was a fine word, more like people who wouldn't leave him alone though at least they seemed better company that she was.
He'd rather any day to have Farlan's group hanging around him than Hange.
He wondered if he could sneak away or if he'd die of boredom first.
"Recruits, line up!" Their (semi deaf) instructor yelled.
Hange took that as her que to back of, though she still watched Levi with an interest that gave him the creeps as she walked away.
The instructor had lined up a number of targets, in the small woodland area.
It was pretty easy and simple to understand execise.
"On your mark rookies! Go!" The instructor shouted.
