A/N: So it's been a while…oops.
My computer (it's a couple of years old so…) deleted ALL of my documents. Sure, there was this fic in there, but my school work and my book I was writing, all were deleted. Even my dad, who's a computer genius, couldn't recover it. I don't even know what happened, he tried to explain it to me but I didn't understand.
So I had to try and scrap everything together from all my works, and all my other fics that I was planning to post vanished, and it was just very, very, VERY stressful, as you can imagine.
This is the last chapter in the series, unfortunately. But I AM writing a new Ereri AU, so if you like that shit then go check it out once it comes out? xD
Thankyou ALL for reading this and sticking with me all this way! You are each of you fabulous and lovely and omg. Thanks so much! 3
Chapter Fourteen: You Can See Me
Eren dropped to the floor with a sickening thud, and Levi followed after him, landing on the floor next to him and kneeling over him as he stared aimlessly in front of him. He was caught in a daze, and no matter how much Levi shook him and called his name, he wouldn't wake.
At first, Levi called for help, but when nobody came, he tried to get Eren to come back to reality, but nothing would work. A dread feeling of hopelessness made him break down and pull Eren into his arms, sobbing and continuously asking him to wake up.
"Please get up." he begged for the umpteenth time, rocking back and forth slowly and staring Eren in the eyes. He was completely unresponsive. Levi didn't even know if he was alive.
That is, until he blinked.
Levi's eyes widened. His breath stopped dead and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Eren! You-"
He felt a sudden stab of pain, one that made him scream and pull himself away from the vampire. His hands covered his stomach where it hurt, and as he dragged his hand away, he realized
He…stabbed me?
Levi pulled himself to his feet. Luckily, the wound wasn't deep, barely a scratch. But Eren stood as well, fangs bared and eyes soulless, like the Eren he knew had been severed from his body.
This wasn't Eren…
…this was a monster.
Levi stumbled out of the way when Eren charged him, lashing out and growling like a beast.
Claws swiped at him and teeth nipped at his neck. When he was cornered, sporting scratches and teeth marks, Levi sank to the floor. Eren followed and gripped his hair with a fierce bout, meaning to do harm. He strained not to scream out when Eren bit into his shoulder like an animal, tearing at the skin and flesh and tugging upwards.
He was going to rip him apart.
"E-Eren! STOP!" Levi shoved him back and Eren hit the floor for only a breathless moment before he snapped upward and ran at him again, blood dripping off his chin and staining the carpet.
Levi placed his hand over the fresh wound, which stung on contact.
When Eren charged at him again, he panicked, truly scared, his heart hammering in his chest. He scrambled away and pulled the desk in between the two. He grabbed quills and books and began to throw them wildly, trying to get Eren to stay away.
"Eren! Get a DAMN HOLD OF YOURSELF!" he screamed as he catapulted more random items. Eren slithered over the desktop and grabbed Levi by the arms, tackling him to the ground and pinning him there.
Levi tried to swing him off, but to no avail. Long fingers stronger than iron bars wrapped around Levi's throat and squeezed. Eren looked satisfied and he shrieked, tightening his grip.
Levi's hand patted down the floor around him for anything. He looked from the corner of his eye and spotted a sword, but it was rusty and old, riddled with spiders who made it their new home. Swiftly, he grabbed it and slammed the hilt into the side of Eren's head, knocking him over.
He jumped to his feet and stood on the opposite side of the room. Levi unsheathed the sword after a few rage-induced attempts, and soon the blade was out. It looked like a relic, older than anything he'd seen.
"I won't kill you," Levi breathed, wielding the weapon with both hands. Eren turned to him, his neck snapping unnaturally and eyes wide with insanity. Levi cringed. "Don't make me kill you…"
Eren ran at him, and at the same time, Levi jabbed the sword forward. He felt it make contact with Eren's body…
At first, silence rang in his ears. But there was the sound of a drop, a small spot on the carpet. Then, as if someone spilled a glass of water, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the floor in red. Levi stared down, then back up at Eren, who's eyes were now clear - the same crystal green and blue that looked like jewels. They were open and terrified. Levi sighed.
He was back…
Then, he coughed, and crimson spilled from the corners of his mouth. Eren gasped and pulled his hand from Levi's stomach, painfully, but Levi didn't make a sound as he dropped to the floor.
Eren could only stare, frozen, paralyzed in place as he watched the life drain from Levi all too quickly. There wasn't time to say goodbye…
Levi gasped and choked on the blood, taking in a few more breaths. Eren knelt down beside him, but when he rolled him onto his back, his irises had gone dark, dull, losing their shine of life. His skin was ashen and grey, death lingering over him like a shadow.
"Wait…" Eren breathed. He couldn't help but look at the massive hole in his chest. "…stop it…this isn't…"
He heard the door creek open behind him, and Eren spun around, tears rolling down the sides of his face, mixing with Levi's blood which spotted his cheeks.
Erwin towered in the doorway, looking down at Levi with a form of sympathy, while he glared at Eren with disgust.
"You though you knew what it was to be undead," the blonde whispered. His voice was low, quiet, and dangerously close to breaking and lashing out at him. "You thought you understood what it was like to be a vampire. Congratulations. Now you do…"
Erwin strode over, grabbed him by the arm, and yanked him to his feet. Eren instantly fought back, clawing at him and reaching for Levi.
"…once you lose someone close to you, you understand what it's like to never die. Whether your hand takes their life, or it's time, you still end up killing them."
Eren was dragged from the room kicking and screaming. He passed Vance in the hallway. Erwin told his butler to "clean up the filthy mess" that Levi was as Eren was taken from his own home.
His whole world went dark as he was brought outside. The rain had now turned to snow, covering the world around him in white.
But all he could see was black.
A dark, never-ending black...
A/N: I'm making a epilogue. Don't worry…
Though, I'm not bringing Levi back. Sorry folks…
You do NOT understand how HARD it was for me to kill my baby. Omg…
