As Erwin drank Levi felt his mind begin to focus again, everything started to make more sense, the weakness leaving him. Erwin's grasp weakened around him. His vision becoming much clearer. The dizzyness leaving him as well as the agony that gripped his body and mind.
The poision was gone...
Gone from his veins into Erwin's.
Levi let out a gasp of suprise as everything turned back to normal.
He felt Erwin release him.
Levi stood up quickly, his eyes wide as he stared at Erwin who was still on the ground, the purebloods eyes glazing over in agony as the poision gripped and engulfed its new victom.
"Why did he...?" Levi muttered.
"Erwin!" Hange screamed.
Mike let go of her as she rushed to his side, grabbing him, turning him to look at her.
"Erwin" She whispered.
Even though clearly in a lot of agoney he looked up at her, a small smile on his lips though still twisted, in pain.
"Don't cry, theres still something you may be able to do for me" Erwin said shakily.
"Anything" Mike replied quickly, though looked calmer than Hange at their sires poisioning.
"E-even though I'm a pureblood. I-I still will die, It'll j-just take a lot longer for it to happen b-but there is a way to...to help me. I-I knew we couldn't get to them in time w-with Levi but with me you h-have more time" Erwin muttered, his voice weak.
"Time to do what! How can we help you?" She demanded.
"Only one other poision can cure Hemlock. Its dangerous, it could...still...kill me...but its worth a...try" Erwin said.
"Whats worth a try?" Mike asked calmly walking over to Erwin, bending down he put a comforting hand on Erwin's shoulder, steadying the older vampire.
"A bite...A bite of a wolf and of course...I don't mean just any wolf" Erwin said shuddering.
Hange's eyes widened in shock.
Mike said slowly "You can't surely mean them?!"
"Its the only poision that will attack my blood stream enough to kill of the poision from the hemlock" Erwin replied, shakily.
He really was quite weak. He had to lean on Mike as he stood up.
Seeing Erwin like this made something inside Levi's stomach clench and twist painfully.
"I don't trust them" Mike seethed.
"No vampire trusts them" Hange said, frowing though she looked like she wouldn't mind experimenting on them.
"Will you all just shut up for a second, who the fuck are you talking about?" Levi snapped, glaring at Mike and Hange.
Mike narowed his eyes and said grimly "Werewolves"
At the word Levi felt his eyes flash red, something deep inside him snarled... Why was he reacting like this?
"They're are natural enemies. Thats why. An Alpha's bite can be deadly, a beta or omega's bite can make us sick, though it depends on how strong the vampire or werewolf is" Hange said seriously.
For once Levi was to worked up about the situation to yell at her for being in his head again.
She turned to Erwin sharply "I'm not letting you go near them though, not in your state, you are staying here, got it!"
Erwin chuckled weakly "Yes mam" Though wincing in pain afterwards.
Mike said twisting uncomfortibly "Theres a local pack near here that Erwin has a small truce with"
"I thought you said nobody knew-" Levi accused.
"No humans know" Mike corrected.
Levi felt a slice of anger run through him as he looked at Erwin. It didn't give him the pleasure he thought it would seeing him in such agony.
He didn't asked to be saved!
Now they were all risking their lives going into a werewolf pack to get Erwin a cure, oh fucking great!
"Levi!" Hange warned argrily, suddenly glaring at him.
"What?! Its true! And fucking stop reading my thoughts seriously!" Levi growled.
"He pratically gave up his life for yours and this is the thanks you're giving him!" Hange snapped.
"I didn't asked to be saved! He could of easily just let me die!" Levi retorted as he twisted around to glare at her.
Hange opened her mouth to say something but Mike inturupted her, his voice softer, with more sympathy "So you wanted to die...Levi?"
I deserve it...
But did he want it?
As soon as those words left his mouth Levi felt his heart sink inside him, everything didn't make sence. Of course...of course he didn't want to die but...but then why was he so angry?
He thought it had been because he hadn't wanted to find the cure for Erwin because of a number of reasons but then, he didn't have to, why not just let Mike and Hange do it, why was he assuming he would be helping?
No was making him help apart from himself...
Why was he so angry that Erwin had saved him?
Why was he angry than his sire was now lying there being poisioned to death slowly?
It wasn't like he...cared right?
"Levi, have you ever wondered why Erwin wants to wipe out ordinary vampires so much?" Mike asked slowly.
He didn't answer.
Mike said stiffly "Before humans knew about the supernatural ordinary vampires hid better into human society, we actaully almost got along though there was always hostility between abnormals and ordinary vampires, mostly envious of our abilities. Though the hostility didn't go deep with purebloods. Erwin was actaully knew quite a few when he was much younger, you could even say they were freinds..."
He shuddered inwardly then contiunued.
"They grew apart when the humans started notecing the supernatural. Ordinary vampires beliving there would be a war and they must do what it takes to stop their species from becoming exstinct, even if it meant enslaving and destroying the humans. Erwin belived he could change their minds, they all couldn't feel this way..."
Hange spoke up, her voice like ice "He was wrong, when he interviered, they came for him. Killed his family in front of his eyes, his mother, his father and his sister. As there are not that many purebloods the news traveled fast between the purebloods at what had happened, the ordinary vampires have been their enimies ever since."
Everything felt like it was falling into place, a little slowly and there were still some pieces of the puzzle missing but it was getting there. Levi felt like something had slapped him across the face.
But this didn't make sence Levi said frowning "But I thought purebloods where all powerful? Wasn't his family-"
Mike shrugged his shoulders looking grim "We know, thats what doesn't make sense and Erwin's never gone into detail at how it happened, though..."
Mike looked at Erwin who didn't look like he was aware what was going on, his eyes were shut and he was tense, the hemlock in his viens keeping him occupied with pain, he looked even more pale that he should be.
"Though...Does he look all powerful to you?" Mike asked Levi mildly.
Why.
Why is this hurting so much.
Seeing him like this?
Is this not what you wanted all along?
But then why..
Why.
Did he feel like this.
"I don't care what you do Levi but I'm going to help him. Whatever it takes" Hange said determindly then she ran away, using her vampire speed.
Mike sighed, he looked at Erwin grimly then looked at Levi who still hadn't moved from his position "If you come to, you can find us at Cannock Chase. Its another forest near us, you'll know it when you see it, trust me"
Then with that he to ran after Hange with vampire speed, leaving Levi alone in the building with Erwin.
"You...don't have to...if you don't want to" Erwin said weakly.
Levi looked sharply at him, Erwin suddenly was aware again though still looked in a deep pain, despite his condition however his eyes were hard and steel like, looking at Levi intensely, they showed no weakness.
"Hange and Mike told me about your family, mind explaining?" Levi asked bluntly.
Erwin didn't reply, seemily suddenly finding the floor very interesting.
"Thought not" Levi grunted.
Levi sighed loudly, his fingers flexing as he thought what to do...
"I'm suprised you haven't gone for me yet, didn't you want to kill me? Heres your chance" Erwin said, looking back up at Levi, so infuriatingly calm.
Is this not what you wanted?
Levi gritted his teeth together, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Erwin.
Taking a deep breath Levi stepped backwards from Erwin.
"Dam you" Levi hissed.
"Dam you!" Levi snarled as he twisted around, his hands moved through his hair in frustration.
He was right there! The man who killed him, who turned him.
He hated him didn't he?
Then why...
Why couldn't he do it?
Erwin comforted him when his only freinds died.
Gave him Isabel's scrap book.
Saved Levi's life twice.
But this wasn't gratitude, no, Levi knew that wasn't why he wasn't doing anything but it was difficult to think.
Despite everything...
Erwin wasn't the enemy...
Despite everything...
Levi wanted to help the poisioned vampire before him...
Despite everything...
He cared...
And that was the most shocking, confusing thing of all.
"W-why?" Levi muttered, still shaking underneath Erwin's grasp.
"Because...Belive it or not, I do actaully care about you"
Levi realised in shock somewhere along the line he'd forgiven Erwin for turning him.
Oh fuck...
Levi looked around at Erwin then bent down and grabbed his shoulders, he could see Erwin's eyes glazing over again, he shook him a little bit then Erwin focused once more, frowning.
"You better not die on me. I die trying to get that fucking cure for you and I swear, I don't know how but I swear killing all those ordinary vampires will be the last of your worries, you understood you asshole?!" Levi growled.
Erwin mearly smiled and he asked, his voice a little shaky "Does that mean I'm forgiven?"
"Don't push your luck" Levi grumbled, though laking any anger or his usaul vemon or bite as he stood up.
Then with one last look Levi ran of, thinking, okay Cannock Chase, now where the hell is that?
Erwin watched him go, his unbeating heart felt light, lighter it had done in a long time, despite the pain that was overwhelming him.
"Thank you Levi" Erwin whispered, smiling.

He grinned, his sharp teeth shining in the darkness, ready to rip into meat.
"Dad please don't!"
"So, lets see how tough you really are"
Marco winced, visibly distressed.
"I told you not to get attached"
They were surrounded by the enemy...Wolves...
