It felt like...like...hell... everything he ever knew was falling apart in front of him.
This was hell...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" He weeped.
"Its fine, its fine, you hear me? Marco? Marco! We got to get out of here!" His best freind said, his voice steady though in deep pain.
Everything didn't make sense, his mind couldn't take it...
"No, no, no, no!"
This couldn't be real.
"Marco we got to move" He cried.
Marco whimpered "I can't, I can't leave them!"
Suddenly...
Voices...
"Look theres a kids over there! No look! That ones not human! Shoot it!"
"Shoot it!"
What...?
"MARCO! NO!"
The last he heard was a bang of gun.
The last thing he saw was his best freind reaching for him, pure horror ecthed on his face.
The last thing he smelt was the gun poweder.
A silver bullet...
A sharp pain...
Then...
Nothing...
Erwin stood up slowly. Finally he could stand. How long had it been?
Hange had told him he'd been out for about two days.
But it felt only like minutes to him.
"You okay?" Mike asked him.
Ewin looked at his hands, flexing his fingers, no pain.
He streched his whole body, still no pain.
"I'm better" Erwin said, slowly smiling.
Levi and Hange were in the same room as well, watching him.
Levi rolled his eyes "Took your time"
Hange beamed at Erwin.
Erwin focused on Levi, his mind going back to their last conversation.
Marco bott right?
"I think you are right, I do owe that young werewolf my thanks" Erwin told him.
Levi looked suprised that Erwin had actaully listerned to him.
He looked at them steadily then said "I think its time to pay the werewolf pack one last visit, don't you agree?"
Little did they know how terminal those words...
Yes...
It would defiantly be Erwins Smiths last visit.
Soon the vampires were at the forests edge.
But...something was wrong...
Very wrong...
The vampires noticed it immidiently.
A copper like smell though with an odd wild twist wafted inside Levi's nose...
"What? Whats that smell?" He asked slowly.
"Nothing good" Mike said shakily.
Erwin let out a low growl, a deep rumbling from his chest "Follow me!"
He ran at vampire speed, Levi, Mike, Hange followed him. Levi knew if he had a heart it would be thudding hard in his chest...what...what was going on?
The coppery smell got stronger and stronger.
They suddenly stopped, coming into a clearing.
Then...
They saw...
Hell...
Hange let out a cry, covering her mouth.
Mike stepped backwards shaking his head.
Erwin let out a low furious and defiantly scary growl.
Levi, levi couldn't belive was he was seeing...
The ground was soaked with blood.
Bathed in it.
Werewolf blood.
Bodies scattered the ground, all of them...werewolves...
Some winpering caught Levi's attention, he turned around slightly, his eyes wideing as he took in a child he didn't reconse with crying over an equally small body, the small body lying over a familer huge werewolf.
The child was to deep in his greif to realise or care there were strangers around him.
Levi signalled to Hange, Mike and Erwin.
They all turned to look where he was looking, their eyes wideing.
"Hey, kid?" Mike whispered.
The child had bruanete light brown hair, he turned to them suddenly, his eyes wideing in fear.
"Hey, hey, we're not going to hurt you, promise" Mike said softly.
"Who are you!" He cried, shivering.
"We just want to know what happened, will you tell us?' Erwin stepped in, though his voice gentle, more gentle than Levi had ever heard it.
"Hell if I knew...They j-just came, they just came and killed! I couldn't-I-I didn't..." The kid wimpered, his eyes focising on the body he was next to then he disolved into a fit of sobbs.
Mmm this kid was the same age as...
"Whats your name?" Levi demanded.
"J-jean" He choked out.
But...
No...
No!
Levi suddenly rushed over to Jean, ignoring the boys yelp of suprise, his eyes going to the body, around the same size and same age as Jean, who Jean had been crying over...
Levi cursed, running his hands through his eyes as he stared into the dead eyes of a corpse.
A extreamly familer corpse.
Marco...
No...
Levi grimaced, looking away, unable to look in the dead kids eyes.
"Oh...Marco" Levi mumbled.
His heart clenching.
Mike bowed his head, Hange was shivering with shock, horror and confusion.
Jean sobbed over Marco's body.
Jean smelt human but there was an odd familer smell coming from him, Levi noticed it as his eyes widened when he looked at the kids arm that he was cluching, blood trickling down his wrist but there was an odd cut there, no not a cut...
A bite...
"Where did you get that bite mark kid?" Levi suddenly asked, his eyes narrowing suspiosly.
"H-he didn't mean it, he was just in shock thats all!" Jean suddenly snapped, eyes wide, tense and defensive.
"Marco was the one that bit you?" Levi asked slowly.
He heard Mike curse softy under his breath.
Hange said grimly "This is why humans shouldn't hang around with werewolves"
"You don't know anything" Jean hissed.
Erwin walked up to Jean and knelt down next to him, he grasped Jeans frail hand, looking at his wrist where the small bite mark was.
He shook his head, standing up.
At Mikes questioning look Erwin said with a deep sigh "I can't do anything for him, the poisions gone to deep"
"P-poision?" Jean muttered.
He cluched his head, this was to much, everything was just to much!
He couldn't...handle it.
"The poision in their bite can kill us or leave us very sick, though it has an entirely different affect on humans, I thought most humans knew this?" Erwin asked Jean, his voice still very soft.
Jeans eyes widened even more "I-I didn't think..."
Hange gasped "You mean his-"
"He will be soon" Erwin replied.
Levi felt like he was going to be sick.
Could vampires get sick?
A whole pack of werewolves had been killed and child was slowly turning into one, he'd never have his normal life again.
"E-erwin?" A voice gurguld near them.
The vampires twisted around to see a familer face, Rico...
She wasn't dead yet but they could all tell she would be soon.
A whole through her stomach, she blead out all over the ground.
"Rico, what happened!?" Erwin commanded as he walked up to her.
"So m-much for saving humanity r-right? I-I don't understand you, w-why save them when they d-do this?" Rico whispered, her voice trembling with the effort to speak.
"Humans did this to the pack? Rico, I know this is creul but I need to know what happened here!" Erwin said, kneeling down in front of her.
"W-we were taken by s-suprise. They captured o-one of us. Promised they would l-let her go if Nathen came with them, and promised they would not attack us...L-lying b-bastards, they killed him, we-we all heard the gun s-shot. No werewolve can survive a bullet to the h-head. A-after he was gone e-everything went to hell" Rico cried.
"Who did this to you? Rico, answer me" Erwin said steadily.
Suddenly Rico's eyes focused on Levi "I'm n-not sure...but...they...knew h-him"
"Who?" Erwin ordered but she shut her eyes shivering under him.
"Erwin" Hange said slowly, looking at Levi, so was Mike.
Levi stepped away from trying to comfort Jean who was just a wimpering sobbing mess on the floor.
Erwin looked to where they were looking, at Levi.
"Rico...just answer one more question, its a simple question, a yes or no answer" Erwin said, his voice steady but Erwin wasn't looking at her any more but at Levi even though he was speaking to her, Levi could also ditect a thinly veiled tone of anger within his voice that most defiantly was directed at Levi...
"Did you ever hear them mention, at least once or talk about a man called Kenny?" Erwin asked, still looking at Levi with steel like eyes.
Levi breathed in sharply, his whole body tensing.
...
"Yes" Rico muttered.
She mumbled something, Erwin soothed her "You don't have to talk now"
"No!" Suddenly she gripped his arm hard, her nails digging in "I remember n-now...T-they knew he would come, so t-they left a-a note...over...there"
She didn't have enouth strength to point, so Rico just looked to the left.
Everyone felt a slice of shock go through them as they saw a small note, easily missible stuck to the ground by a stick in the mud, a few red droplets on it, making it camerflauge with the blood red ground.
Levi hesiantly walked towards it, stepping over another werewolf body, that looked like he'd had his head cut of, to reach the note.
Levi pulled his from the ground.
"Read it out Levi" Erwin commanded, anger in his tone.
Taking a deep breath Levi started to read...
"We know you're secret...Levi. We have been watching you ever since we found out what you are. Kenny will be pleased once we tell him of your current state of being. It will give us strength for a vampire to work on our side. You must renouce the survey corps to join us. Let us remind you why joining the survey corps was not a good idea"
Levi's hands tighed on the page. His voice almost shaking.
"By midday tommorow you will show everyone in the Survey corps what you are. Or the fate that has happened to these werewolves will happen to your f-faveroute trainee..."
Levi stopped suddenly, unable to read the name on the note.
He was white as a sheet and his hands trembled on the note.
"Finish it" Erwin snapped, having no paitence with him.
"P-petra"
Everyone stared at him...
"They are going to kill Petra!" Levi choked out.
"I need to..." Levi turned to rush of.
"Stop Levi" Erwin commanded.
Again his free will was taken away from him and he had no choice but obey,
"Let me go!" Levi snarled angrily, his eyes flashing red, not caring about Jeans gasp of fear and shock near him.
"No" His sire replied coldly.
"I saved your life, you-you owe me this Erwin" Levi hissed.
"I saved your life, twice in fact. So no, I don't owe you anything" Erwin said just as coldly back.
Straightening up Erwin ordered "You will tell me everything about Kenny and his men and how you are contacted with them"
Levi growled angrily but didn't reply.
"I let you have you're secret past but it is now endangering others and I can not allow that. So Levi, for the last time speak!"
And Levi opened his mouth and...
And the chapter is here. I hope you enjoyed it, Let me know what you think? And yes Jean will become a werewolf and yes I did just kill of Marco just for the sake of Jean's character development in one of the sequels.
So yeah the whole reasons for telling you about and introducing you to werewolves is because Jean will become more of a main character in one of my sequels, he will be older and he will defiantly will be a werewolf. Jean and Levi will meet again ;)
Also a reader mentioned something about Petra/Levi romance? To answer that question, no sorry, Petra is 13-14 year old at the moment while Levi is in his 20's, so yeah, huge age gap so that won't be happening, he has a soft spot for her but he defiantly doesn't fancy her... In the end he'll start thinking of her as a very close loyal friend but thats it (He has a proper love interest in my next sequel)
The Next Chapter is called Who Is The True Monster?
Where we will go much deeper into Levi as a character and his past, as well as his 'relationship' with Kenny...
