Butterflies swirl and cramp in my stomach. My skin twitches as the minutes go by. A powerful immortal shouldn't be so nervous about a meeting. But these days are complicated and hard. Connie awakening, the Survey Corps, and all these dicks in my house are going to be hard topics. The old alphas haven't learned their places yet and I dread the moment when I have to show them.
Levi took Mikasa into the attic yesterday, we can't have anyone finding her. If she gets even one more drop of vampire blood she could turn. I won't lose any more of my people because of them. Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie. They have taken enough from me.
"Hey, you okay?" Levi takes my face into his hands. Those warm hands that touched her. I slip away from him and get out of bed. When Levi came back yesterday, he immediately went to bed. I haven't, no I can't, stop thinking about her. She was my sister once.
"No, I can't think straight-" My fingers dig into my scalp, pushing the hair aside. Levi follows after me then shivers as the cold air hits his body. I hate feeling the temperature. It's either too cold or too hot. I used to live in a happy medium. Obviously not anymore.
"Then stop trying to make sense of this. Mikasa betrayed you and that's that. The old alphas need to get their shit together, we know that and so do they. Stop worrying about it, Eren." He takes my hand and deeply inspects it.
After we started the blood fusions, things have gotten... Strange to say the least. Our attraction to each other has been unbelievably high as well as our sex drive. Sometimes Levi or I will examine the other's body just to see what's there. Then we have the odd blood orgy that happen from time to time. We don't talk about that one.
"I'll stop worrying when I'm on an island far away from all of this." My little dream drifts back to me but I push it away.
"When we get on that island, you'll still be worrying. I suppose it's just what you do. Now come on, they'll be expecting us soon." He drops my hand, I lift it to my face and see what he was staring at. My veins are dark, I'll be needing to feed sometime soon.
"After the meeting, would you like to..." Levi turns to me and nods his head. He knows what I need and I know what he wants.
Jean, Marco, Christa, Ymir, Levi, and I sit at the table. Sasha is with Connie and chose to not come to the meeting today. Probably for the best since she's been out of it lately.
I look around my table and sigh, this is going to be fun.
"We have much to discuss, if anyone would like to start that would be fine." Christa gets her pen ready and nods to Ymir.
Ymir leans back in her chair and grins, "the old alphas are becoming troublesome. They don't respect you, Eren. As one of your Secure, I personally think that we should punish them."
"I agree with you, Ymri. I'm the alpha here and they need to know who to bow to. Do the rest of you agree?" Funny how these are my friends and I have to treat them like strangers.
All hands go in the air, even Marco who doesn't like trouble.
"Then how should it be done? Silver lashings? Branding? Exiled?" I jokingly name off punishments, some of my friends laugh and the others seem to actually consider a few.
"I say we publicly humiliate them, that or you could trick them into challenging you?" Marco picks at his sleeve as he speaks.
"That's an interesting idea, what if they win?" I smirk at the idea of Nile trying to fight me.
"Don't lose then, or you'll be banished. Levi will be murdered and life as you know it will be lost forever." He pulls a thread from his shirt then looks up at me. A serious Marco is a scary man.
"What have these alphas done to get on your bad side?" Ymir hits Marco's arm then retreats back to Christa's side.
"They threatened Jean." His eyes turn dark, his fangs have slid out. He's territorial as most vampires are.
"I don't recall seeing either of them with mates, but do they have them?" Levi raises an eyebrow at me and slides his hand on my thigh.
"Nile has a wife, I don't know her name. Keith is alone."
"Go to Nile's wife and attack her. Don't leave your scent and don't kill her. Just scare her. He'll know it's you without having any proof." Jean stands up and looks appalled.
"You can't do that! Nile told Marco that if I got in the way, then I'd be hurt. You can't just hurt an innocent girl because-"
"If she's with Nile then she's not innocent. Mates reflect each other, she's just as bad as he is. We're not going to let someone threaten us just because I allowed them to join my clan." Jean starts to shake, he can't find anything else to say so he sits back down.
"Next issue?" Jean looks down at his hands, feeling pour out of him uncontrollably. I can smell his frustration and anger.
"The newbies" Christa offers.
"I've made a new law, it's in my journal for everyone to see. It's about the blood packets and piles of blood." Christa and Jean shake at the thought of what our house has become since the new clans joined.
"Anything else?" Everyone shakes their heads, seeming to feel that all our issues have been taken care off.
"As of yesterday, I discovered that Mikasa has been alive since the wedding. She's in the attic now. I'm not sure if she's transition or not, but I've decided that she must be executed. If she turns, there's a possibility that she could be a Secure or an Alpha. I won't allow someone to hurt us."
"Will this be public?" Jean hisses, he knew Mikasa. I won't doubt that he might have been friends with her.
"No, she was my sister once. I won't do that to her. She's going to die alone, like she deserves." My fists clench, rage consumes my core. I trusted her and this is what I got. My friends almost died, had it not been for Levi and my abilities, no one would be standing.
"There's a secret mission that I want only to be known by us. We're going to destroy the Survey Corps, they're waiting to attack us. We may have the abilities but they have the numbers. If the citizens ever found out about us, we'd be burned at the stake. There's only one thing we can do to protect ourselves. Destroy them before they destroy us." I know my eyes are glowing, just by everyone's reactions. And because my eyes feel different.
"How are we going to do it?" Marco is loyal to me, he'll do anything in my name. That's going to be good.
"I'll need a spy, someone to go into their base and navigate it from the inside to the out. I'm going to need strong ranked soldiers to march in there once we know the building."
Marco grins at me, "is that all?"
"No, not even close but for now, that's all I need."
The meeting went better than expected. Jean has a way of arguing with me until my hand is on his throat. Marco doesn't appreciate that but it's not my fault.
I find myself going into the attic instead of my bedroom. Levi will have to wait for me just a bit longer.
She's chained to a pole in the corner. Her black hair goes past her breasts, it surprises me since she hated having long hair.
"Mikasa?" I whisper and take a step towards her. She looks up at me and scurries away.
"Stay away, haven't you taken enough to from me?" She cries into her mittens, claw marks on her face tell me why she needs them.
"You threw me out, abandoned me, and made love to the enemy. I think I took enough." She looks back up at me and sneers.
"Armin has the big blond around his fingers, you're going to pay." I walk over to her and take her face in my hands.
My eyes close, I feel my way into her mind. She thinks more about Annie than herself. Then I find the big blond, I attack her memories and invade them. I need to see what she's seen.
Armin with Erwin, the first time Mikasa met him. It was a trap to get the Commander closer to me. But it backfired on him. He fell in love with Armin. Only problem was he had a boyfriend.
I wiggle my way into the next memory. Armin and Erwin invited Mikasa to celebrate their freedom of me. Later that night, once Mike has left to go home, Mikasa finds Erwin and Armin against a wall. They were going at it like rabbits, Mikasa's voice fills my head.
Next, Mikasa is at the meeting with Levi, Erwin, Mike, and Armin. Levi called for the meeting but nobody knew what is was for. Erwin tells Levi to take a vacation, as Mike calms him down. Armin glares at the vampire the whole time.
The last memory Mikasa has of Erwin is over a year and six months ago. She was planning on running away with Annie. Erwin invited Armin and her over for a get together. When they arrive, something feels off. Down in the basement, Mike is being tortured with silver. Erwin fucks Armin in front of Mike and his soldiers. Mikasa left before anyone noticed.
I let Mikasa go and feel the tears dripping off my chin.
"How could he do such a thing?" Mikasa looks up at me, her tears start to flow.
"Armin loved Erwin more than life. He told Erwin to kill Mike, to show him how devoted he was. Erwin didn't stand a chance." She bites her lip and tries to keep the nightmares in.
I sink down to my knees and press her body against mine.
"You don't have to endure this pain anymore. Hush my sister," I rock us back and forth. Seeing my brother, our brother, being raped shook me. Mikasa couldn't handle it so she ran off with a vampire. The same creature she hated.
My hands slide up from her back to her throat. I thought this would go differently. That I would hate her and dig my fangs into her neck. But she was my past, my sister. I can't forget that.
With one quick motion, I snap her neck. A sound rings out as her head flops over. The body in my hands looks different suddenly. I want to throw it away from me and leave. But she'll start to smell if I do that. The humans in the house can't handle a smell that gruesome.
I take her in my arms and burn her body in the backyard. Black smoke lifts into the air as the fire grows. Consuming her whole. Once she's nothing but dust, I will the fire to go out. It ceases to be nothing more than embers.
Levi looks out the window at me, a cold expression haunts him. He knows what I did, is he upset? I asked if I could feed from him after the meeting, but she needed to die. My mind couldn't stop thinking about it.
In an instant, I stand next to Levi and look out the window. Snow drifts from the sky and lands on the cold ground.
I put my hand in Levi's, making him jump.
"God, you can't do that!" He huffs out.
"I can, that's how I got here." I laugh when he hits my arm. He storms over to the bed and plops down.
"Are you ready for me?" I stalk over to the bed and hover over him. He sucks in a breath as I lower my body.
"Take me" his fingers dig into my hair and his legs wrap around my back.
I reach down and rip his pants off then do the same with mine, the torn cloth is thrown across the come. Our shirts melt from our bodies, the more blood he gets of mine, the hotter our bodies become. We're as hot as fire now, the bed turns black on the places we touch.
I slide myself into him and thrust hard, hard enough that the bed hits the wall and leaves cracks. Levi pulls my hair and bites his lip. I pound into him, my lips travel down to his neck. My fangs extend and inserted themselves into his soft skin. Blood flows into my mouth, the taste of vanilla dazes me. I can't see straight. My body feels gone, soaring in the clouds. Levi moans, or has been, I push harder and harder making him scream.
I pull away from his throat and smile, blood runs down my chin. Levi leans up to lick it off of me.
"I love you" I breath out as I feel him tightening. My release is coming soon.
"Love me to death?" He chuckles at himself.
"Death could take you from me and I'd rip you back from his hands." My words come clear and precise while his voice is out of breath and unclear. Being a vampire has so many advantages.
"Then hold me forever." He throws his head back and looks up at me as he climaxes. I pull out of him and do the same.
"Really?" He asks annoyed, I laugh and kiss him.
"I'll clean it up, I always do." He sighs, knowing I'm right.
"That is who you are,"
"And always will be."
