Chapter 4: Painting the walls red.
A/N: hey guys. I'm sorry its been awhile. school and band are big time consumers.
Ca-Clump ca-clump a steady beat
Eren...Levi..
Please... just please.
Stay alive...
An older man's horse panted in exhaustion as it slowed to a stop in front of a large white building. It striked him as odd. Seemingly untouched, pure white, not faultered by surrounding pools of blood. What an oddity, this was a battle field. The man's face paled.
Something was up.
Eren looked around, disgusted at the site he saw, disgusted by the blood surrounding his feet. He didn't date complain, for he was doing as his corporal had ordered.
'Search for survivors'
This was a massacre. How would anyone survive this?
The bodies.
The torn apart bodies.
Mangled, bloody, disgusting...
Friends he's made.
His new family..
All dead.
Just to think that a few weeks ago they were all gathered around a fire. Laughing, telling stories, eating happily, talking to each other, messing around. Just... having fun.
The bodies of people who brought light into the darkness of the world. But no. They had to give into the darkness. It swallowed them whole. They're gone. Taken over by none other than death himself. The bastard who already took so many important people...
Eren searched. He didn't see any of his closest friends. Christa... Connie.. Are they ok?
The boy saw a familiar hair style in the distance.
Longish blonde hair.
It... It couldn't be.
He ran, with all his might, tripping over severed arms and legs. Multiple times his hands stopped him from falling. They became drenched in blood, as though he was bathing in it.
As he became closer to the body his running slowed. Eren panted heavily, coming upon the body. Small... blonde... No.. it can't...
The boy took in a deep breath and turned the corpse over and stared. His eyes widened.
It couldn't be...
Levi stared at the pearly white building. His jaw tensed as he furrowed his brow. What exactly are the odds that this building... the building that withheld Hanji... was the only one untouched? Undisturbed? why was it the only thing that seemed orderly? Some plot was simmering in the air, but what was it?
A certain tension filled the air. It felt dark, the kind of tension that makes your inside scrunch and a frog get stuck in your throat. It screamed doom, death, sorrow, and, of course, overwhelming fear. What could it be?
The man looked up at the large building. Peaceful. Quiet. Unmoving. Something was definitely wrong.
Nothing is peaceful in hell. Hell doesn't have order. Hell is our world overrun by titans. Hell is when humans begin to fight each other. Fight instead of protect. Hell is when you live everyday in fear. Hell is when everyone you know and love could be dead any day.
Our world has become the exact representation of hell.
That was it. Levi hopped off his horse and bolted to for of the building. Locked. When does Hanji ever lock her doors? She's too careless. Something snapped with him as he kicked the door down.
Snap! Crash! Slam!
The inside was just as clean. Not a drop of blood. What was going on?
The man ran to the stairs. Clean. All the walls. Clean. The floor didn't even contain a speck of dust. Where are all the soldiers that are supposed to be guarding her... where is Hanji?
Levi closed his eyes. Calm down. Hanji is fine. You're a soldier. This is nothing. Bre-
A laughter rung in his ear. A soft laughter. A semi - maniacally laughter. That high pitched crazy laugh could only belong to one person.
Hanji.
Oh thank God she was okay. She's alive. Tears of relief threatened to pour out of the raven haired man's eyes.
The laughing stopped. He looked up at the ceiling, the fright returned to his body. Levi's face visibly tensed. Hanji...
The man dashed up the stairs and climbed them.
So many god damn stairs. Shit.
Don't stop. Hanji. Dammit. Move. Make sure she's okay. She has to be okay.
He breathed heavily and clenched his stomach. His abdomen hurt. Why the fuck is many stairs necessary? The man stopped and tilted his head back. Breathe Levi... Breathe.
He took a few minutes to catch his breath.
Th-thump th-thump th-thump
Footsteps.. Was it Hanji?
THA-THUMP THA-THUMP
Heavy. Hanji isn't that heavy. Someones up there. Levi jumped AMD dashed up the stairs. He couldn't breathe, but it didn't matter. She was in trouble and there was nothing more important to the man than this woman.
Moments passes until he finally reached the door to her office. The knob was gone. Chips of wood and metal littered the area.
Slight mumbles could be heard through the door. Levi tried to open the door...stuck...The damn door was jammed.
He punched and kicked the door. No use.
"Levi..?"
That voice.. scared.. small... but it was Hanji.
He grit his teeth. What the fuck are they doing to her?!
The man slammed his petite foot against the door making it crumble off the hinges. Inside a man held Hanji, hands caught behind her back. He hair falling from the ponytail from her attempts to get away.
Death flashed through Levi's eyes. Don't touch her.
"Levi no... leave right now."
The mysterious man laughed as his hand squeezed tighter around her neck.
"See? I told you my little massacre would bring him to you. But too bad... he's a little late to save you~"
Gray eyes flashed in anger. He went to dash for the man but...
"tsk tsk Levi" he pulled a knife out of his pocket and held it to the brunettes neck."I'm not one to make a mess. So stay where you are. Even a twitch will make me cut her pretty little neck."
The raven haired man stopped. Fear. He can't lose her.
"Good boy" he pressed the knife down harder "but never believe an enemy."
The knife went through her skin easily and blood splattered every where. Levi was close to sobbing as his beloveds blood hit his face.
Anger raced through him as he dashed at the laughing man, pulling the blade from its case.
Die.
The man laughed as the Corporal dashed at him. Laughed until his head rolled out into a puddle of blood. His mouth was fixed into a horrifying smile.
Levi became covered in blood as he went back to Hanji. The blood still spilling out into the ground. He kneeled down next to her and held her to him. He whiskered sweet nothings as of she was still there.
He saw her still being killed as she mouthed three beautiful words at him.
"I love you"
