Well, shit, was Levi's first thought that ran through his mind after comprehending what the blonde man had said.
Commander Erwin Smith.
At that moment, the smaller man knew that they were screwed. From what little he learned from the Vampire Hunters that carelessly ran their mouths, Erwin was a big deal. He was one of the strongest warriors of the the Vampire District.
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Levi didn't even know why they were even there. The two (since Elaine didn't really contribute to their crimes) were criminals, yeah, but that didn't even interfere with the other district. "Why the fuck are we here?" He growled, sitting back on the the heels of his boot. He cringed as he felt patched of dirt rub against the thin fabric, but he tried the hardest he could to mask his discomfort. He did not want to appear weak to anyone, especially the enemy.
"Shut your trap, you rodent!" One of the guards hissed back, flashing his fangs. Before he could move any closer to the bars that separated them, the commander placed an arm in front of him, blocking his path.
"Don't act like you don't know why." He ordered calmly, which greatly confused and irritated Levi. How can this guy be so calm, yet so scary. Well, not scary.
The black-haired man cocked his head to the side, allowing his messy hair to fall in front of his grey eyes. That was the first thing he needed to fix when they escaped. "Was it something we did in the Underground. If not, then we have no idea what the fuck you're talking about."
He looked back at the couple huddled together in the corner, only to see regret in Ban's crimson eyes. "Ban?" He questioned. He noticed Elaine had the same look in her golden orbs. "Elaine?"
The tall vampire dropped his arm back down beside him, raising one of his oddly-shaped eyebrows. "Do you seriously not know?" He asked, receiving a shake of the head from Levi. "Do you know who your mother is?"
The small prisoner seem taken aback by the question, realizing that he actually didn't know anything about the woman who gave birth to him. Erwin sighed, before taking a seat down on one of the empty stools in front of the filthy cell. "Your mother's name is Kuchel Ackerman. A vampire." He stated, spitting the female's name like it was poison.
Levi froze, feeling his blood run cold. His mother- Who he had never seen or heard of- was a vampire! "How can this be? This has to be a joke. If it is, it's not funny."
"It's not a joke, you rat. Shut the fuck up and listen." The guard from before hissed, not bothering to step forward this time, knowing that Erwin would hold him back again.
The commander finally gave a warning glare to the man, causing him to shrink back. "Mike. Shut it."
The small mortal didn't even have the strength to smirk at the rude man's weak moment, still shocked. "How can this be? I'm not even a vampire myself." He whispered, grey pools wide.
The shorter blonde straightened up again, stretching his neck forward as he sniffed very close to the now weirded out prisoner. Although he was obviously confused and a little disgusted, he couldn't move away because of the rusty shackles gluing him to the dirt-covered cobblestone.
"He's right. He doesn't smell like any of us. Although, his scent is quite divine." He chuckled, his eyes (which had been a calm blue before) flashing red once again. "You might have to watch out. Some of us might not be able to resist."
Levi shivered, sneering at the guard. "Gross."
"Mike's right," Erwin agreed, running a hand through his own blonde hair, which made the male human in front of him want to do the same with his own ratty mess. "Not only do you smell human, but your scent is way too sweet. It's almost overpowering. You'll have to be careful." He warned.
The mortal rolled his eyes, chucking the vampires' words out of the imaginary window. "Whatever. Anyways, that still doesn't answer my question. Why are we here?" He growled, pulling at the chains, most likely bruising his delicate wrists. "And whatever you have already said has nothing to do with Ban nor Elaine."
Erwin sighed once again. "Your mother was having affairs with a human man. He is already six feet under. Kuchel had conceived a child, before giving the child up to a man by the name of Zhivago. He hid the child, before suddenly disappearing into thin air, leaving it and his other adoptive son." He paused. "You are the child."
The grey-eyed man paled even more, his body shaking as he put the pieced of the puzzle in order. He looked around at the two behind him, who were bowing the heads. The guilt in their eyes told him enough.
He was a being that was going against one of the biggest laws in the world, and this deadly secret was locked away from him, the key being the people around him.
"Why?" His words trembled, like his body. His knees were barely supporting him as he cried out again. "Why!"
He couldn't think of anything else to say.
Hey guys, I know I'm late. I don't care.
