The attacker

Ayano was by the river, training by herself. The manoeuvring gear was still a bit hard for her to grasp. The gear was essential for fighting titans. Thanks to their sice, humans needed these devices to be able to reach the nape of their neck and cut it off, the only thing that could kill them.
It came to good use with vampires as well, since vampires speed made them very dangerous. With the gear, the chance to get away, or move and turn very fast and cut them dead was possible. It was very hard to kill a vampire as well. A strike to the heart was usually the most effective way to kill them. Strange given that their hearts didn't beat at all.

She sighed and leaned against a tree, closing her eyes. It was much harder to use the device then she first thought. Even if she had her training behind her, it was still some things she just didn't feel comfortable with when using it. And she didn't know how to make it feel better.
"You are trying to have too much control. Thus you work against the manoeuvring gear. You need to let the device carry you once you decided where to go. Just let your body follow. It's not going to work well if you are too tense" A voice woke her up from her daydreaming and her heart started to beat like crazy, as always when he was near.
"L...Levi. I...I mean captain!" She stuttered and did the salute. To her surprise, he actually let out a chuckle, and when he looked up, a small smile was visible on his marble like face.
"You have the wrong hand"
Ayano looked down and quickly changed hand while blushing madly.
"S...sorry"
"Don't worry about it. Not like it's a big deal" She blushed again and looked down on the grass.
"I'm kind of bad at this, right?. I mean, I will never be as good as you of course. You're practically flying with these things. But I want to at least be a little bit better"
"Then try to do as I suggested Ayano. Besides, I am not really… good. It's just my natural reflexes or something I guess. You should not compare yourself to others anyway" She gave him a thankful smile. Her heart had jumped when she heard him say her name.
"I swear I'm going to have a heart attack one of these days if this is going to continue whenever he is near" She thought to herself once he told her good bye and headed to wherever he was called to be. She wished she could have followed him and talk some more.
Ayano took a deep breath, relaxed and did as Levi had told her. Not that it was easy to empty her brain after he had showed himself to her.
She fired the hook up towards a nearby tree, and got dragged upwards towards it. Her body relaxed and she just let the device do the rest and it kind of worked. She didn't feel as uncomfortable any longer when doing that.

When she was done with training, she decided to look for someone who wanted to follow her to the nearby town. She needed to buy some new clothes. Ayano liked the survey corps uniform, but when she was not on duty, she still wanted something more fitting to wear for a normal day. Of course she had that kind of clothes already. It was not like anyone walked with their uniform all day. Only when training or out on a mission. But a few more everyday clothes wouldn't hurt, just to have some more options.
Apparently no one was interested, so she decided she might as well go there by herself.
Ayno took a shower, put on a white summer dress and a white ribbon in her black hair to match it. She looked at herself in the mirror with her amber eyes, until she decided that she looked good enough and headed out.

The town was not all that lively today, and she was happy not having to push trough a lot of people.
She moved her bangs out of the way and looked up at the sun. It was a really nice and warm day.

Once she had found a few nice things tp buy, she decided to head down a little alleyway where she never had been before. But suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to change. It got colder, and she could not see any people around. She looked around to find at least someone, but it was all empty and quiet. The narrow houses where no one seemed to be living in was the only thing she could see.
Suddenly she noticed a long, slender male walking towards her. She sighed in relief and went up to him while talking.
"I'm sorry, but could you please tell me where I am. I seem to have gotten myself lost" She chuckled. The man gave her a small smile, but didn't look up at her, making her unable to actually see his eyes or face. He also wore a hat that made it a bit harder to make out his face as well.
"E...excuse me?" She said when the man didn't seem to give her an answer. He just stood there like a creep. Maybe he was drunk, or on drugs or something.
"I think I should just go and try to find the way myself" She said in a way to ease her worry, and make sure that the man understood that she no longer wanted his help.
"Oh, I don't think so" A strange, dark, almost inhuman voice said. Suddenly the man looked up at her with a sinister smile. But that was not the worst, It was his eyes who was glowing in red, and the fangs that he blotted. It was a vampire! And Ayano was not at all equipped to fight one at the moment.
She screamed, but the man lifted her up like she was nothing more then a rag doll and threw her into the closest wall. She felt her head hit it hard. Blood started to leave the just inflicted wound in her head and down her face, clouding her eyes in red.
The vampire picked her up, locking her eyes with his. Suddenly Ayano feel an overwhelming tiredness, and her body went limp.
"You smell so good" He said in that creepy, none human voice. She could tell how he was moving towards her neck. She wanted to resist, but the blow to her head, and his strange hypnotizing gaze from just seconds ago made her unable to even move a muscle, less alone scream for help.

Suddenly the pressure form the man holding her up in the air disappeared, and Ayano fell down to the ground. With her blurred vision she could make out the back of someone she would always recognise. Levi!
She could suddenly hear a hissing noise close by. The male vampire answers with the same sound. Ayano felt how she started to drift off, until everything went dark.

Levi could smell her blood from miles away. He had been in town for an errand when he first had noticed it, All he could do was pray that he wasn't too late. Why was Ayano in town anyway?
He didn't really know what happened next. He must have screamed out a "No!" Or something when he saw the stranger vampire just about to bite into Ayanos neck. With an inhuman speed he tackles down the vampire, making him drop Ayano in surprise. Levi gave off a warning hiss, but the male vampire hisses back, showing that it wasn't going to back away from its pray for another vampire.
The other vampire attacked first. It launched towards Levi with its admirable speed, but Levi still had a bit of sanity left that the other vampire did not, making him able to think a bit more logically. The other vampire was clearly only driven by hunger. It was strong, but he was still stronger. While in close combat, Levi manage to bring forth a silver dagger, and stabbed the other vampire, right in the heart. It gave him a confused look, not ready for the sudden pain, before Its body went limp as it took its final breath.
Levi worriedly turns towards Ayano's body.

Levi started to breathe heavily. It was first now that the scent hit him full force. Her scent. Ayano's blood had formed a red little puddle beside her, and he could feel how his body begins to shake in a try to restrain himself. He tried to think clearly, but his mind was clouded by her blood. Outside of her body it was so much stronger, and his mind told him that he wanted it all.
He could feel the sharp teeth coming out and tried to cover his nose with his arms, but to no use, The scent was all too strong.

Once Levi manage to collect himself as much as he ever would be able to for the time being, he growled a curse, but manage to get Aynos arm over his shoulder, and got her up. He did his best to avoid any public places, not wanting anyone to stop them and ask what had happened. Then they would surely see what he really was. And a mob chasing him was the last thing he wanted at the moment.
He made sure to cover as much of her body as possible with the black cloak the hostile vampire had been wearing, thus all her blood wouldn't bee as visible. It would only look as if he maybe helped his drunken girlfriend home.

He luckily managed to make it to the headquarter. Once there, he fell down to his knees outside the training ground while still holding a tight grip of Ayano. A group of people quickly gathered, he couldn't really make out who they where. Must be her friends. Yes, he could recognizes some of the voices, like Eren, and Armin.
"What's going on here?" A female voice suddenly shouted. At leats he could tell it was Hange.

When Hange noticed Levi and Ayano, she quickly pushes away some of the crowd and made her way towards them. Erwin was not far behind her as well. They had been talking about some things when they noticed the commotion.
"God Levi? What has happen...? " She stopped when she cought a glimpse of his face.
"S...she was attacked by a vampire. She… Needs help" Levi managed to get out, feeling that his control soon would disappear. There where too many people around for his liking, especially since Ayanos blood was still affecting him greatly. It had been a complete willpower not to lose the internal battle going on inside of him while carry her back to safety.
Hange gave him a nod to show him that she understood.
"Erwin, take care of Ayano" The blonde quickly took Ayano from Levi while Hange helped him up, making sure to cover his face from the crowd with her body.
"N...No… Need to make sure she's… okay" He protested while Hange started to take him back towards his office.
"You won't be of any help to her if you loose yourself and go all berserk here. Just look at you. Your eyes are red as blood and your fangs are showing. You look about to snap at any minute. Be glad you held your face down so that no one else could see you"

When they got closer to the office, Levi pushed her away.
"I… I can manage from here. I just need to take a shower and drink a bottle and I'll be fine" Hange shot him a worried look.
"You sure? I can follow you inside and make sure you're fine" She made a try to move closer to him when it looked like he would fall down again, but he raised a hand for her to stay.
"Don't. I'm not sure how much more I can handle. If you don't wanna get hurt by me, you better leave. And make sure Ayano didn't get bitten" Hange chuckled.
"It would be kind of cool if you would bite me! Then I might be able to see for myself what happens with the body when a person does turn"
"You'll be in so much fucking pain that you won't be able to think anything at all. All you want to do is scream. I should now since I've been trough that shit. So, It's not damn likely you would be able to do a research while you go through that. Take something serious for once"
"Right right, I was just kidding okay. Fine, if you're sure you can handle yourself, then I'll go. And I'll make sure Ayano is okay. Just one more question. I never really asked you how you can keep calm around titan blood?" Levi who had turned his back to her and opened the door to his office turned around to look at her once again. Hange couldn't stop her fascination over how much different he looked with his eyes and fags like that.
"You seen titan blood right? It's hot as hell. Try to drink that, and your insides would burn up completely. And it smells like shit as well, so it doesn't even affect me the slightest"
Hange could tell how Levi's eyes had gone even darker red, and how he did the best he could to keep himself from loosing it.
"Good. Come see me when you feel better, and I can tell you about how Ayano is doing"
Before Levi closed the door, she could swear she head a faint "Thank you", making her once again smile before heading to Erwin and Ayano.
Hange prayed that the girl hadn't been bitten, for all their sake. She didn't want to end the girl.
