Levi trembled with emotion, his usaul cold eyes shining with unshed tears "You said you wanted to know and...Who am to disagree?"
Hange and Mike didn't know how to react, they just stood their, staring at him.
Erwin walked towards Levi.
"Dam you" Levi whispered.
Erwin took Levi by the shoulders and said tenderly "Levi, its okay"
Levi hit him multiple times on the chest, why wearn't they angry? He deseved their hate, their scorn, he didn't want or need their pity.
"Dam you!" Levi cried, his knees buckling underneath him, Erwin catching him and gently kneeling next to him
"Its okay" Erwin repeated softly, like an adult comforting a child.
"Dam, dam..." Levi choked out, he couldn't stop the weakness and the tears that fell, everything emotion he'd ever felt slowy tearing him from inside and out, he cried into Erwin's chest...
He couldn't handle it any more.
Suddenly Jean let out a shocked gasp, he'd been watching the scene shocked though what he could see around him made him even more suprised.
Erwin and Levi stood up, stepping away from each other.
Levi wiping away his tears, staring at the light surrounding them, it seemed to bask them all in a warm glow.
They looked around, reacting to Jean suprise then feeling just as shocked as they saw what he was seeing.
The bodies were all admitting a strange yellow light.
It surrounded the bodies, circling them, buetiful swirls and curves in the light and the way it flowed from the chests then outwards.
The bodies of the werewolves started to change.
The bodies transformed slowly, light glowing around them, wraping around them, changing them.
After a while the glow seemed to disapear.
Levi whipered "Holy shit..."
Now the werewolves no longer looked human, in the place of their human bodies were wolves, wild wolves.
Jean stiffled a sob when he looked down at Marco, his human body no more, in Marco's place was a wolf cub, lying there though still dead, it looked more like it was sleeping.
The expression of pain and terror gone from Marco's face.
Mike repeated softly, remembering what Rico referred to "In death we reach our pure forms and what our soul looks like, that of an normal wolf"
The vampires thought that they looked very interesting, though Jean was pale, staring at Marco's new form.
Of course Erwin thought sadly, to Jean it must be like looking at his own coffin...
Sure enough...
"Is...this what I'll look like, when I die? My parents wouldn't even recenise my body" Jean shivered.
"Marco" Jean whimpered, he picked the wolf cub up and cuddled him to his chest, like Marco was a puppy.
Levi watched them, his grief slowly turning to a very familer emotion, anger.
"He'll pay, he'll pay for what his done" Levi promised Jean and...himself.
Erwin said with authority "And I know how, Mike, go find Petra, protect her. Hange get Jean home. Levi, you're with me, do you know where exactly Kenny stays or where he would be?"
Mike saluted "Sir" Giving Levi one final look he disapeard, using vampire speed to rush of.
Hange bent down next to Jean, holding out her hands she said gently to the crying boy "Give it to me"
"His not an it! His Marco, his...his my best freind" Jean cried, holding Marco's body closer.
"You got to let him go Jean" Hange whispered.
Levi was shocked that she seemed actaully quite good with kids, after assesing Jean was in safe hands, he turned back to Erwin, only remembering his question.
His memory clicked into place as he remembered specific hide outs Kenny liked to stay in. Kenny had four specific hideouts he moved between randomly but Levi knew Kenny. Staying all your life with him did have some benefits.
He tooked at Erwin, eyes flashing red with uncontroled rage and blood lust "Yes, yes I know where he'll be."
Kenny stood in an abandened house. He was with six of his men, they had rushed in very paniked.
"You've got to get out of here sir" One of them cried.
"His coming!"
"Their coming!"
"You need to-!"
Kenny snapped, grabbing one of his men, aiming a gun at his head "What on earth are you talking about you blithering idiots?!"
"They attacked us out of no where!" He whimpered "I'm sorry sir, we couldn't do anything-!"
Laughter cut him of, it echoed around the building.
One of his men screamed as a hand came out of the shadows and grabbed him, pulling him into the darkness that surrounded the house, then the scream was cut of.
Kenny growled, aiming his gun at nothingness "Come out where I can see you!"
Two more of his men where grabbed, their yells echoing around the building, Kenny heard a slerping sound...like someone was drinking something...
The men's screams reached another octive then where cut of.
Only three men remained with Kenny now, they were all shaking, trembling with this unknown foe.
"Coward!" Kenny shouted, raising his fist in the air when there was no response.
One of his men whimpered "Shouldn't we run s-sir?"
"No! I do not run away like a coward, this demon will show himself!" Kenny snarled.
"You should listern to you're men" A deep comannding voice rang out in the darkness, a hand reached out from behind, taking another of his men.
"They are quite delisious after all" The voice said, with a dark chuckle.
Kenny's eyes widened "Vampire" He muttered.
"Oh he does know us then" The voice said sneeringly.
One of his men whimpered "U-us?"
His eyes narrowed, there was more than one? He desperatly tryied to see into the darkness, he chose this hideout because it would be easy to hide in its dark shadows and dark corners if the Milirary police ever found this hide out, now it looked like it was becoming his men's downfall, it was being used against them.
"I have no quarral with you or your species" Kenny shouted out.
"I disagree" The voice hissed, suddenly sounding more dangerous.
The same hand came out of the darkness, grabbing one of his men by his shirt, this time instead of taking him away, the hand wrapped its way around one of his mens throat then twisted and then disapeared.
The dead man fell to the floor, dead as soon as his neck snapped.
Then at the same time, a smaller hand came out of the darkness, grabbing Kenny's last man.
His last mens scream seemed to last for ages intill it was cut short with a blood curling snapping sound.
"Monster!" Kenny growled.
"Monster? If I am that, then what are you?" A very familer voice rang out, different from who had been talking before.
It was so familer, though sounded so different as well.
Finally Kenny stiffened as two men walked out from the shadows. One a lot larger than the other one but both had extreamly dangerous aura's.
Kenny stepped back, quickly reconising why that last voice sounded familer and why the shorter man looked so familer "Levi?" He breathed out.
"Hi Kenny, its...been a while" Levi said blankly.
He stepped backwards as he looked at them "I heard Rumours at what had happened to you but...I didn't believe-"
"Believe it" Levi said coldly, his eyes for a moment flashing red.
"What are you doing here?" Kenny asked, Levi could ditect a hint of nerveres in his voice.
Vampires were well known for being stronger than humans though Kenny could probably take a vampire just as easily as Levi had done, however it looked like Kenny had no stake handy, the only way to kill a vampire and beheading of course.
"Thought I'd come for a visit, you know how you love to check up on me, well I thought I'd do you the same favour" Levi said icely.
Kenny's hands went for his guns, fingers around the triggers at the ready.
"Its time to pay for what you've done" Erwin Smith said smoothly.
Kenny's eyes bugged out a little bit as he regonised the other vampire.
"Smith" He muttered.
"Remember me I see? I thought you were the foulest human I'd ever met, I was right" Erwin said coldy.
Erwin answered Levi's questioning look "I met him ages ago, it was a brief meeting. I was looking for one of his men who used to be in the survey corps before he got mixed up in Kenny's business. You know the rule that you can't desert the militarty once you joined? Well..."
"You were sent their to kill him" Levi said, frowning.
Erwin's no response was the answer.
"I thought there was something strange about you" Kenny said slowly and he drew out his guns.
Levi growled "You're guns won't save you now"
"Allow me to make that judement" Kenny hissed, pointing one gun at Levi, another at Erwin.
He looked at Levi and sneered "We would have made a good partionship Levi, I truly never wanted to kill you, you are my strongest weapon after all"
Levi barked a laugh "Partionship? I was pratically your puppet, for you do anything you wished with me!"
Kenny shot back with deep vemon and sarcasm before he pulled the trigger "And now you're Erwin's puppet, well done!"
Suddenly Erwin was there, out of nowhere he was up close with Kenny and punched him hard across the face, Kenny fell to the floor, Erwin picked Kenny up by the shirt and snarled "Levi is not my puppet, he is here because he wants to be! Levi could have left at any moment and his stayed!"
Levi stilled at two things...
One: What Erwin had just said...
Two: Kenny was now bleeding from Erwin's well aimed punch.
Erwin stepped backwards, Kenny spat out blood, wiping his mouth, glaring at them.
Levi managed to pull himself out of his blood lust then asked Erwin slowly "Do you mean that?"
Erwin replied shortly " I kept you near me when I knew you had no control over yourself. I of course do want you with me but I will not force you. Most vampires stay near their sires but again I will not force you to do so, not anymore. There was a number of times you could have run away especially when I was poisioned but you did not. I belive you have already made your descion?"
Levi's eyes focused more on Kenny and the blood dripping down from his temple and replied steadily "Yes...I think I have"
Kenny was about to get up again but before he could a strong hand wrapped its way around his throat and he stared into the eyes of a blood thirsty vampire.
Levi could hear Kenny's heart beat pounding in his ears, he could smell his fear.
It smelt soo amazingly good.
"You don't mind do you, if I have a taste?" Levi murmured.
He through Kenny up against the wall. Then kneeled down next to him. A broad dark smirk plastard across his face.
Levi pulled Kenny's head back, by his hair, his neck was on full show.
"You have no idea how much I have dreamt of this day" Levi hissed, leaning closer to him.
Levi then greedily bit down hard, fangs digging into Kenny's flesh.
He pulled out just before he started and murmured darkly in Kenny's ear "Don't worry, I'm going to draw this out...slowly"
Levi gripped Kenny tight to stop him struggling then bit deep into his neck then started to drink...Slowly
And he savoured every second of it...
Levi stopped drinking when he felt Kenny's heart slowing down. Though impressivly Kenny was still awake. He stared at Levi with hatred and fear.
"Monster" Kenny hissed.
Levi said pure hatred lacing his voice "And who taught me how to be one? Oh yeah...thats right"
He hit Kenny across the face, hard.
The serial killers face snapped to one side, his eyes wide in pain, bones craking at fist met his skull.
Levi sneered, taking his hand that was holding Kenny still but he was to weak to move now anyway, looking at his hand "agh, horribly dirty as always..."
"S-still obsesessed with cleaning, not much has c-changed... Though I don't know why you bother" Kenny choked out.
Levi snorted "Was that meant to be you're last words? Fantastic"
"N-no, no you leech. These are my last words" Kenny wheezed, suddenly grabbing Levi's shirt and pulling him closer.
Levi to suprised to react.
The Serial Killers voice was rang out loud and clear despite his life force slowly leaving him "I know you Levi. I know why you do it. Why you always like everything so neat, so tidy, so clean"
Kenny leaned in and spat "You can see it to can't you?! Like me. The blood...the blood that forever surrounds you. The blood forever on you're hands, in your heart, on your mind"
Levi had tensed, a shudder ran through his body.
"It makes you sick doesn't it? To see so much blood splilt where ever you look. The worlds a bloody sick place"
So much blood...
But...
But..
If I scrub...
If I clean...
It'll soon be gone.
Kennny almost snarled, his voice still loud and echoing around the building, his body twitching at how much effort and pain it was taking him to speak "You hate any dirt because all the dirt in your eyes is blood, blood of all the innocents you've killed"
If I clean...
If I scrub...
It'll soon be gone.
Levi suddenly had Kenny up in the air, hands around his throat squeezing tightly.
"But who gave me those orders! Who gave me them!" Levi suddenly shouted, everything inside seemed to be snapping once more.
Kenny suddenly went limp in Levi's grasp, a cold smile of his face, his eyes closed.
No heartbeat...
He was dead...
Not without his haunting parting words.
Levi ran... He ran...everything had happened swirling inside him mind, he felt like he was going to explode! Levi tripped and fell flat face in the dirt, he sobbed, not getting up for a few seconds, his hands shaking. Levi reached where he slept at night. Underneath some outside stairs attached to a house, his rug where he slept and his drinking water, a bucket that collected water from the pipes.
Without a second thought to what he'd be drinking in the next couple of days he shoved his bloody hands into the water. His hands shaking as he desperatly tried to get the blood of them, his drinking water slowly turning a dark red colour.
Levi rubbed his hands together. Not stopping, never stopping. Flashes of a couple of hours ago. The knife...Kenny's men's throat slit...Kenny's orders...
But...
The blood...
It wasn't coming of!
The wash wasn't helping!
Levi choked on his own whimpers and choked cries.
He rubbed his hands together, though lost his balance and steadied himself by grabbing the pipes underneath the house.
He pulled his hands away like he'd been electrofied, a bloody hand print on the pipes he'd grabbed.
With a cry Levi scrubbed the pipes with his hands then started to wash his hands again, so so so desperate to get rid of any reminder of what had happened.
It took all night.
By the morning he'd rubbed his hands raw...
By the next day anything that ever had blood on it was cleaned, intill Levi was to tired to continue, so tired that he forgot to eat and drink.
By the day after that Levi was so thirsty, he could not get any water from the well nearby, not tall or strong enough and he could not buy any water, so he had to drink what little water he had left.
The blood in the water tasted foul...
In the night he was sick.
And then the next day after that...Kenny finally came and found him.
Levi stepped away from Kenny's dead body, eyes wide. His hands flexed nerversly.
"Levi...Is this true? What Kenny said?" Erwin asked him.
Levi didn't answer him.
He looked at his hands.
To everyone they looked perfectly normal.
Not to Levi.
To Levi they'd always be dirty.
They'd always been dirty ever since the he killed for the first time.
To Levi they'd always be covered in blood, staining everything around him.
And thats why...everything must always be cleaned.
So here is the chapter, a little bit of a dark chapter on my explanation on why in my story Levi likes everything to be clean. Kenny is dead! Whoohoo though this is not the end of the Kenny plot story so watch out! ;) A cute puppy Marco... :D
The next chapter is called Captain Levi's Squad, despite the simple title its quite mysterious and will bring a question that quite a lot of my whole series will evolve on.
And Petra and the other trainees are back :D
Preview:
"I hate them, I-I wish they were all gone"
Levi stood tall and looked on, watching his future squad.
"What ever you do"
"Don't trust him"
"Kenny may be dead but you know as well as I know Levi...This isn't over"
