The man above him had called his name, he didn't know how he even knew his name, and a million questions went through his head. "Did he get my information from the orphanage? They said these were vampires, did he somehow read my mind? Can they do that? No, vampires don't exist, he looks human anyways, and his clothes are modern too. Wouldn't vampires keep to their old ways? Oh god! What if he has been stalking me all my life! What about the other that brought me in here!" He looked around once more and saw no trace of there being anyone else, "Why isn't there others? They said vampires, right? There is only one man, two counting the other, but he sounded more around my age. Looking back towards the other, he slowly stood, cautious, but the man made no move towards him, he seemed like he was in shock, and took a step toward him, that seemed to get a reaction. The man stepped back as if a bucket of ice had been suddenly thrown at him, "Eren" the man said again.

Eren didn't give it much thought this time, he had to go get back to the city, he didn't know how far he was, but if what those men said were true, which he doubted, he was not safe here, and what other perfect than now that this man seemed confused. Without even a hello or goodbye to this man, he turned his heel and ran, not knowing that he triggered something within the other, but he wasn't going to stop for the voice that told him to wait. He saw Eren run, it triggered the beast inside him, the monster that was ready for the hunt. He vaguely thought, "I knew I should have fed this morning" before giving chase to the other.

Eren had made it out of the castle-like place, he hadn't seen the outside yet, but not even two minutes on gravel and dirt, he was tackled. With a grunt, his chin hit the dirt, the added weight took the air out of his lungs and he coughed, blowing the dirt away, before it could get into his mouth. He wasn't given the chance to throw the other off either, he felt sharp pain in his shoulder, one that he could vaguely feel as familiar, but from where, he didn't know. Suddenly he heard sucking sounds, and his eyes widened, this was really a vampire, he could feel the blood being drained from him, was he was going to die, "once again"? He started to thrash under the man, but he arms we pressed into the dirt and the others legs kept his apart. If the position in which they were in had been his top priority, he would have been embarrassed, but with the blood being sucked out of him, he doubted there would be enough to redden his face. At that thought, he could see his sight becoming blurry, he felt scared, he was really going to die, and at the hands of this monster, he was powerless.

He ran into the boy, pinned him down under him, made him powerless, and dug in. The first taste that invaded his mouth was pure heaven. Not just because he hadn't eaten that morning, but also because it was that sweet taste of his lover that he was now recalling. Back then it had been just pure blood lust, maybe it was still a little bit of that now, but he had been able to taste the uniqueness of his beloved's blood, not that he had tasted much human blood. However, his was different, his was what he needed to survive, it was his what he had yearned for so long. A part of him now knew that he was complete, and how he had been all these years, which were a shit load, depressed and dull, was no more. He wondered how even managed so long without this heavenly taste, how he even managed to continue another day without beheading himself. It had been a dull life, but now that his drug was here, it would all be better now. And that's when he came to, Eren wasn't struggling under him anymore and he could hear other people approaching. "Levi!" That was Hanji wasn't it? What that shitty glasses want, couldn't she see that he was just reacquainting with Eren? Eren? Eren wasn't moving, wasn't struggling, he could feel the life he was sucking out of him, his eyes widened, and he immediately pulled back, almost threw himself away. "Levi, what did you do?" Armin's voice rang through the gathering crowd as he neared the now fainted boy, carefully turning him over to inspect his condition; a gasp broke amongst the group. Mikasa broke through the group seeing that it was indeed Eren the one on the ground as the whispers had spread through the group. Turning sharply towards Levi, she was ready to sent accusing, colorful words towards him, but the look on his face made her stop and instead kneeled down by Eren's unresponsive body and picked him up and without a word, she took him into the old castle. The group soon dissipated until the only ones left were Hanji and Levi.

Placing a hand on his shoulder, Hanji nudged him, "What happened here, Levi? Why is Eren here, when we… You know." With a numb shake to his head, Levi just stared at the ground where Eren had laid, "I don't know Hanji, I don't fucking know… I lost control too, I knew I should have fed this morning, but I couldn't find the will too… But then when he… when he-" Levi said hoarsely, his voice breaking.

"It's okay, Levi, I get it. Go clean up, I'll check up on Eren" she responded with a small pat on his shoulder before walking back into the castle herself. Levi stayed rooted to his place, it really had been Eren, even the taste of his blood was the same. That warmth, that scent, that tanned skin, those eyes. He gulped back the knot in his throat, the well of emotions was ready to burst, but he wouldn't let it, he wouldn't. Turning back into the castle, he made his way towards his room, he needed to be alone, and it would be for the best. He needed to think, he needed to forget that the boy he had been living in agony and guilt over was okay and at arm's length. The distance would do both good, no doubt Eren wanted to do nothing with him; he was just a monster. Oh, how ironic it was.
