CHAPTER XIII:
FAMILY FEUD
Upon hearing her say 'You're my mother', Petra launched herself in the girl's arms.
"Celeste. You're home." Petra said as she tears of joy slid down her face. Celeste hugged her back immediately, taking in her scent.
"Mom." She whispered.
"You guys can come in now!" Petra yelled. Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Hanji and Commander Irvin came in.
"How much did you guys hear?" Celeste asked as they approached.
"All of it." The Commander answered as he patted her shoulder.
"I wonder how the people are going to take it; Captain Levi's daughter, Celeste Ral, returns from the dead." Hanji said. The door flew open and Levi was there with his eyes screaming bloody murder.
"Oh, shit." Celeste muttered. As she looked at his eyes, it hit her; her dad was mad because she came back to this time instead of being safe in the future.
"What did you say, Hanji?" Levi asked. He was seething now that they have confirmation that she is his daughter.
"Levi, Celeste is home. She's been home for 3 years." Petra pointed out. The moment Celeste noticed his eyes glare at her, she knew she had to run with her tail between her legs. Fast. And far.
"Bye." She said before running out of the dining area. Lucky for Celeste, she managed to evade Levi. Once she was out to the HQ, she heard Levi yelling something out.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU STUPID BRAT!"
'Oh, I am so out of here! This is going to be a family feud!' She thought as she kept running. She was pretty far off from the HQ already. Pretty quick for someone who made a living by sitting on a fast car, isn't it? When she got to the edge of the woods where her car was, she realized something.
"This isn't gonna end until I let him beat me up, is it?" Celeste asked herself. She realized that hiding in her car probably wouldn't work. If worse comes to worse, she could show him a good fight. Steeling herself, she took a deep breath and turned around. She waited for Levi to come and in a few minutes, he did.
"Come at me, then! You want to beat me up, right? Go ahead!" Celeste told him. He clenched his teeth and attacked her with his fist. Levi hit the girl in the face and a sickening crunch was heard. Yep, he broke her nose. Celeste retaliated by punching his stomach. She was having difficulty breathing because of her nose. He punched her face again, knocking her to the ground. She kicked his chest before getting up. Before he could recover, Celeste tackled him.
"What do you want? Why do you like doing this?" She asked him. Levi flipped them over and tried to punch her but she blocked it with her arm and punched his shoulder.
"Because you're an idiot! You're already safe where you were and you had to come back!" He answered. For the first time in his life, he didn't know why he was fighting her. Was he angry at her for wanting to tell Petra the truth? Or was he angry at her for putting herself in harm's way? Probably the latter. Levi would rather she die by his hand than be eaten by a titan because of her recklessness. All this time, he knew she was his daughter but he just kept on denying it but as the years went by and he kept hearing about her recklessness and how she was so much like him, it kept getting harder and harder to deny.
"So you'd settle for killing me without any honour than me dying out there? Is that it? Spare me some dignity will you!"
Just then, it started raining. Levi clenched his fist once again and punched Celeste in the face. She punched his ribs and his face. When Levi was finally thrown off her, she stood up but she was a bit dizzy. They kept going at it for hours, throwing punches and kicks at one another while the rain kept pouring down on them. Celeste stood up and lunged at her father with her fist balled up. Levi did the same and they hit each other in the face. Both fell to the ground but neither one of them got back up.
"How long have we been fighting?" Levi asked as he lay on the ground. He can't believe it. The only one who was able to last that long against him was Ackerman and Petra. She truly is his daughter. The only one who was able to give him this much damage was Ackerman.
"Hours? Shit, I don't know anymore." Celeste answered. It's weird that they haven't been found yet. When Levi didn't say a thing anymore, she spoke up as she looked at the dark skies.
"Captain? What do you say we end this? For mom's sake?"
She refused to call him 'Dad' after everything that happened between them. She doesn't even know if she could look at him as her father.
"Alright, for your mother. I'm sure she'd hate this family feud between us." He answered. Levi wanted so badly to say how sorry he was but he was sure that his only daughter hated him. Maybe she hated him from the very beginning anyways.
"Thanks." She answered. She was having difficulty breathing thanks to her broken nose. All of a sudden, they heard it; the clopping of hooves. Celeste and Levi looked sideways and saw the squad coming towards them.
"Well, looks like you got some hell to pay." She commented. Levi nodded in silent agreement. They watched as they stopped and hopped off to run towards them.
"I'm gonna sleep for a while." She muttered. The last thing she heard was her mother yelling out for her.
'At least, this family feud is done.' Celeste thought before she completely lost consciousness.
