Erwin turned to Levi, his eyes cold like ice. Levi was to busy mentally either wishing the universe would just delete itself or he could somehow tellaport Kennys men here and then kill them, to notice Erwin's look.
Mike and Hange on the other hand did notice and being sensible both decided to retreat from the building...
"Who, are those men Levi?" Erwin demanded.
Levi quickly felt like something was inside him, forcing him to respond whether he wanted to or not.
Levi grinded his teeth together in pure frustration and anger before he was forced to reply.
He growled "Kenny's men"
Erwin tensed, his eyes widenening.
There it was...
That name again...
That name that Levi had been so greatful to leave.
But it couldn't be that Kenny, could it?
Levi was boiling inside, he hated this fucking sire bond!
"Kenny who?" Erwin ordered.
Levi didn't answer.
"Kenny who?!" Erwin said once again but using their sire bond.
Levi had no choice but to snarl "Ackerman"
Erwin stepped backwards, his eyes widening...Noo...That couldn't be...
How was Levi even alive?
"Why would he want you?" Erwin demanded, not giving away he knew who Kenny was...
Levi spat "Didn't you even know my last name Commander?"
Anything he built up with Levi he built up over time was spiralling out of control.
"How can this be? Tell me!" Erwin growled, lifting Levi up by the collor when he didn't respond.
Levi glared at him, not responding, Erwin snapped "Don't waste my time"
Levi fell to his knees before Erwin, still refusing to awswer, the sire bond making him wither in pain, every instincs shouting at him to obey Erwin when. he. would. not!
"No!" He cried out, curling in onhimself.
Despite himself Erwin was impressed, though angry and worried, what didn't Levi want to tell him he was somehow going agaist all his intincs and nature?
Levi's expression was taught with pain, though despite the agony his eyes remained ice cold.
"Levi!" Erwin hissed, stepping closer to him.
Levi faced him, his eyes glowing a brilliant red, signalling his nature and rage.
"I-if you make me tell you, I'll never forgive you!" Levi choked out.
Erwin and Levi stared at each other angrily...
I'll never forgive you
Erwin didn't let it show how much those words hurt him.
As a long supressed memory retched inside his mind.
"I'll never forgive you! She cried "Can't you see what you are doing is wrong?"
Erwin glared at her, didn't she understand?
He had to do this.
For them.
For everyone.
They wearn't safe intill they were exticted.
He pulled his arm from her grasp.
"Brother, please!" She yelled after him as he walked away.
Erwin supressed a shudder.
No.
He couldn't be thinking of her at a time like this.
Those words...
Where the last words she ever said to him.
Suddenly Levi felt his whole body relax as his instincts stopped shouting at him to answer his sire.
Erwin...Backed of.
Stepping backwards, his expression softening.
Both vampires stared into each other's eyes.
Levi's slowly changing back to his normal colour.
Erwin said, looking outside one of the windows, not meeting Levi's eyes "Mike and Hange where never this much trouble"
"Maybe I'm just special" Levi said, sarcasm lacing through his words, his eyes on the ground, not looking up at Erwin.
Erwin's lips quirked up "Maybe you are" He said, glancing at Levi.
Maybe you are...
That was the last meeting Levi had with Erwin for a while.
Everything came to ahead after the next two days...
Kenny's men struck again...
They were cleverer then, striking in a different way.
A cup of tea.
With a posionous edge...
Hemlock.
Digested.
Equals.
A.
Slow.
Painful.
Death.
Levi never knew it was coming intill it was to late.
His lips...Met the substance, not noticing the odd sting.
Then all he knew was pain.
Then everything went black.
Kenny's voice inside his head...
"Watch! This is you're own fault for disobeying me!"
"Watch!"
He could do nothing to help her...
He was hopeless...
Worthless...
Kenny made him watch as his men...
His men...unclothed her...
And
A-and...
He was only six...
"Watch! This is you're own fault Levi!"
Levi
Levi wake up!
Levi!
This isn't real!
Levi's gasped, his eyes shot open, his memorys shut back in the deep dephs of his mind.
Don't remember it...
Never remember it...
Always shut the doors, don't look back.
Never look back...
"His hyperventilating!" He heard a familer voice shout.
Was that...Hange?
Why did she sound so panicked?
Everything felt so strange.
All foggy and echoey.
Only one voice was getting through the fog.
"Levi look at me!"
Erwin?
Out from the fog Erwin's face came into view.
"Look at me!" Erwin shouted.
Why did he sound so worried?
Wasn't he worthless?
What was there to be worried about?
Why did it feel like he cared when Levi knew he didn't?
Erwin had grabbed his shoulders "Listen to me! Digested Hemlock will caurse pain and hullitionations from your past, then death! Do not give in, you hear me? You hear me Levi!"
Everything inside Levi's veins was on fire once again, he could barly conentrate.
Such pain...
But didn't he deserve the pain?
For everything he'd done.
"Have mercy"
"Please no!"
Some had begged, some had pleaded, some bargained but it all had ended with the same result.
If Kenny said shoot...
He shot...
So many people.
So many innocent people.
Levi almost laughed out loud.
How ironic.
How ironic he was feeling more guilty now that he was a monster, though he'd already been a monster when he'd been human, so really, really what was the difference?
Really, how pathetic
"Its killing him Erwin!" Another voice shouted through the fog inside Levi's mind.
"I know" Erwin said, his voice setteling on a strange tone that Levi didn't receognise.
"Come here, relax" Erwin soothed, his arms slowly sliding around Levi's kneeling and trembling small body.
Erwin murmured softly "Its in his blood, acting quickly, I'll kill him if I don't do anything soon..."
He looked at Levi's glazed over and pain filled eyes. Though it didn't seem physical pain, what had happened in Levi's past that had caursed that much pain Erwin wondered.
"What are you going to do?" Mike asked shakily.
Erwin said grimly "The only thing I can do"
Hange caught on first she gasped "Please...No Erwin!...Don't!"
"Its the only way he'll survive" Erwin said.
"And what about you?!" Hange yelled, she was about to rush over to him but Mike held her back, his eyes wide.
Erwin gave her a small sad smile.
"Please" Hange begged.
He didn't reply.
Erwin wrapped Levi in a tight embrace, to make sure Levi didn't try anything.
For a couple of seconds Levi seemed to become aware of his surroundings, his eyes focusing more.
"W-what are you...d-doing?" He asked weakly.
Erwin just replied, impressed Levi could even conentrate enough to speak "You were right, you are special Levi"
Then before anyone could react.
Erwin bent down and dug his fangs into Levi's neck. Who tensed up in shock. Then Erwin started to drink the poisionous blood.
He could taste the Hemlock in Levis blood burning his mouth, urging him to throw up, he ignored it.
Erwin hugged his vampire close to him as he drank the poision.
"W-why?" Levi muttered, still shaking underneath Erwin's grasp.
"Because...Belive it or not, I do actaully care about you"
You are not going to die Levi.
Not if I can help it.
Even...
Even if it means my death instead...
(Evil cackle) Hehe... Thats all I have to say on this chapter...
The next chapter is called Forgiveness
Preview...
"You see Erwin had a sister.."
"We're going to them for help? Are you serious?"
Such horror.
For the first time he felt sorry for Erwin...
The wolf howled at the moon.
