He laughs.
Levi laughs.
It was bitter, full of spite.
Then he looked at Erwin.
He smiled but it looked more like a snarl than a smile, the way his lips curled baring sharp teeth.
"You...want to know everything? Seriously?" Levi sneered.
"You want to know that when I met Kenny I used to drink sewage water? You want to know that one of my earliest childhood memories is of Kenny and blood..."
Levi chuckled bitterly "I think he might have killed someone in front of me because of the blood but the memories a little bit hazy"
Erwin's eyes were wide as he stared at Levi "Levi-"
"No! You wanted this, didn't you? You wanted me to tell you everthing about how I'm connected with Kenny, so here it is" Levi spat, his teeth bared.
"Never knew my parents. He was the only person I had, even though he was just using me...I mean who would suspect... a kid...?"
Sniff, sniff...
The military policeman looked towards a small child, huddled up against the wall, crying loudly. He was just on guard. Kenny the ripper had been spotted around these parts of the underground city. He did think of leaving the child there but what would that do?
He walked up to the small, raven haired child. He was very young, four, five years old at the most?
He said gruffly "Hey, you okay kid?"
The kid shrunk back though said with wide scared eyes "I-I lost p-parents"
Maybe the kids parents might give him a reward for finding their child?
"Where did you last see them?" The millitary policemen asked suddenly sounding more helpful.
The child whimpered "I-I last saw them down there but the dark scary"
The kid pointed shakily towards an ally way up the top of the street.
"Do you know where they were going?" He asked.
The small raven haired boy shook his head, still looking fearful.
"Can y-you help me?" The child asked, suddenly looking a little helpful.
The man nodded, standing up, he held out his hand "I'll help you find their parents, don't worry"
The boy took his hand, an odd flicker of another emotion in the boys eyes but it was gone as soon as it came.
They reached the ally way, the millitary policeman frowned, it was quite dark down there, no wonder the kid was scared.
"Okay, here we go" He said, walking into the ally way with the child.
As they walked he noticed the boy was looking more and more nervous, his eyes flickering around as if looking for someone.
Probably his paren-
Suddenly the boy shuddered next to him then burst out crying.
"Hey, hey, whats wrong?" He asked, perlexed.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, I'm sorry" The boy cried, sudddenly colapsing on his knees.
"What-?" He was about to ask.
Suddenly a sharp pain in his back, it was agonising.
He turned around, his eyes wideing in horror and pain to see two things.
One: Kenny the serial killed behind him, a blood thirsty smile on his lips.
"Say night, night" Kenny sneered.
Two: And...a knife sticking out of his back...
Then slowly he tumbled to his knees, before everything went black he heard Kenny the ripper say to the boy "Good job Levi"
Levi grimaced, the memory haunted him, how many millitary poilcemen had he helped kill that way? He couldn't remember.
Levi's voice shook as he carried on "I-I refused once. Then...then afterwards, well there was no afterwards! My shitty life became even shittier"
"Because I'd disobeyed him...He got his men and a women of the street, he made me watch, I-I thought they were going to torcher her but they did something far far worse"
He shook his head, his hands going to his head as if it ached but it only ached with the memory he'd long supressed.
"Kennys Men unclothed her...and-"
Made me watch...
"And then they, and then t-they..."
He couldn't say it...
"She screamed and struggled and cried out for help"
Couldn't do anything...helpless.
He could still hear Kenny's voice in his ears..
This is your fault
My fault.
"If you hadn't disobeyed me this wouldn't have happened..."
My faut.
Worthless...
"Forced me to watch...I-I was only six years old! Then they killed her afterwards..."
Hange and Mike were staring at Levi, both very pale looking.
Levi's hands were shaking, he clenched them into fists to try and stop the pain inside but it did nothing...
"I killed my first guy that day. Kenny gave me a knife...told me where one of the men who had...done that terrible thing to the women, I suppose he wanted to see how I'd react and well...I didn't dissapoint"
"Have Mercy, have mercy! Please!" She screamed
Levi carried on shakily "Everything else is a blur, I...killed so many people, torchered them Kenny wanted me to. He only loosened his hold on me when I was 17, though he'd come back now and again, sometimes to get me to do some more of his dirty work, or just to steal anything valibule I'd managed to get"
"I don't have time for mercy, you're husbands been a bad man" The 15 year old said cooly. A sharp dagger twirled skillfully in his finger tips
Hange said slowly "You think you deseved it?"
"Please, please" She sobbed.
Levi smiled nastily "Didn't I?"
"You know who he works for right? His boss isn't happy with him" The boy smiled wickidly, his small but strong frame easily holding her down, his dagger touching the edge of her chin, lifting her face up to look him in the eyes.
"You're not a monster Levi-" Erwin said softly but Levi cut him of angrily.
"Kenny said he needs some reminding why he should never have disobeyed him in the first place and some insentive to do the work probably" He said sneeringly
He clenched his hands into fists, so tightly his nails started to draw blood "How would you know? Y-you don't know me! Not then, not now!"
"Work? You call killing and stealing work!" The women suddenly cried, he was almost impressed by her sudden bravery, almost.
If you know me then you'd have never wanted me on your side...
"Levi-" Mike started to say.
He shrugged "Its work for me, quite fun work actaully"
"I enjoyed it!" He pratically shouted, trying to get into the thick vampire skulls who he was, what he'd been. What he'd been and still was.
"Monster" The women whimpered.
Monster...
As those words stumbled from his mouth loudly the very air seemed to still around them.
He smirked creuly "I can agree with that"
Once Levi said that, everything he'd long kept hidden suddenly came out, it was like the filter or the blockage in his brain that ussaully stopped him from spilling any of his history or secrets was no longer there.
The boy added in after thought like he wasn't holding a knife to a womens throat "Though if you want someone to blame, I'd blame your good for nothing husband, its his fault, if he hadn't disobeyed and kept on screwing up missions, you wouldn't about to die right now"
"It...it felt so good, to watch as the knife slid in so smoothly, to see the fear and pain in their faces as they felt it and realised they were going to die. It made me feel..empowered you could say. Every life I took, I enjoyed taking it. Kenny told me it would get easier after my first kill...And it did, it got soo easy" Levi shuddered as a chill ran down his spine as he thought about it.
He leaned in close to her and said triumphly "Well what are you waiting for?"
"I killed innocent people, military police, thugs, women, men, sometimes even children, familys"
"Scream"
He met Erwin's gaze, his voice a little streadier.
She screamed.
"If Kenny said shoot, who ever it was, no matter who it was, I pulled the trigger and...I enjoyed it"
He grinned, enjoying her fear and pain, then he brought the dagger down, across her throat, slitting her throat and her screams were cut short.
Levi's eyes prickled, he blinked hard, his eyes stinging, he was breathing hard (the habit he'd never dropped and now was actaully showing them how stressed he was) like it had been physically exhausting to get that all out.
The boy tched as he looked at how bloody his dagger had gotten, tch, what a mess.
"So...Erwin Smith" Levi spat out "If Kenny is the monster then...what am I?"
He cleaned his dagger, standing calmly next to the womens now dead body.
Levi let out a harsh laugh, as cold as the icy winter winds "Still wished you'd asked me to tell you everything?"
Levi pocketed the dagger and walked out of the run down poor house, he wondered if Kenny had any more missions like this that needed doing for today or tomorow? He enjoyed doing them after all...
