~Chapter 12 - Nightingale~
-Flashback-
"Levi! You said you got me a present!" I yelled excitedly when I saw Levi enter from the main door.
"Stop nagging or I'll reconsider about giving you this present." Levi said and sat down to the couch.
He pulled his right leg over his left just like he used to. I giggled and started clapping.
"Stop it." He said with the same bored tone.
I jumped onto my tiny legs and ran to him. I then hugged his slim legs and looked up at him trying to make puppy eyes.
He tch-ed and looked away. I knew this would work.
"Stop it." He repeated still looking away.
I continued looking at him with puppy eyes and tugged lightly at his pants to get his attention. I succeeded. As soon as his eyes lay on my face, he groaned in frustration. Levi placed his right hand under his cloak and slowly pulled out a book and handed it to me.
"Happy 6th birthday." He said with a tiny smile. If you didn't look hard enough, you would've easily missed it.
I carefully took the book since this was the first book I ever laid my hands on.
"What does it say, Levi-sir?" I asked and pointed at the letters that were written on the front page.
"You know what happens when you say that, (f/n); don't make mistakes if you know already it's a mistake." He said.
"Ok, Levi. I won't do it again." I said and giggled slightly.
"To answer your question, it says, 'Lyrics and notes to beautiful songs'." Levi explained.
I smiled widely as I opened the first page.
"Please teach me how to read, Levi."
-Time skip till the age of 13-
"Without you, I feel broke ~
Like I'm half of a whole~
Without you, I've got no hand to hold~
Without you, I feel torn~
Like a sail in a storm~
Without you, I'm just a sad song~
I'm just a sad song~"
As my voice went silence, a smile grew on my lips. That was my favourite song from the book that Levi had given me on my 6th birthday.
During the 7 years that had past, I would spend every last minute of free time singing, and now, I can all the 84 songs in the book by heart.
I could sense Levi's presence. I slowly turned around and just as I expected, Levi was there leaned against the stone wall.
"Again?" He asked.
I giggled at his remark.
"It's my favourite." I replied.
"I think I would know that by now." He said.
I turned my head back and faced the opposite direction of Levi. I was on the roof of the hide-out that Levi, Isabel, Farlan and I lived in. Here, on the roof, I had the perfect view over the whole Underground District.
"You have a nice voice, like a Nightingale." Levi said. "Don't attract anyone, I'm going in."
With that, Levi walked down the stairs to out hide-out.
A Nightingale you say…
