"Eren." Levi said. He started walking towards me, but I wasn't having that.

"No." I answered. "Don't come any closer. I don't… I don't want to hurt you." With a quick movement, I slipped around Levi so that I was closer to my door.

"What are you talking about? You won't hurt me." He looked confused. He reached a hand out towards me. I watched it, wanting to feel that soft, smooth skin cover mine again. However, I snapped out of my thoughts when his hand brushed my arm. With a small cry, I slapped it away.

"Eren?"

"Levi… Please leave. I don't want you here." I murmured. I couldn't take it. Physically, I was right next to him, and yet, mentally, I was so far away.

"Eren, please." He tried again, reaching out for the side of my face this time. "What happened to that little boy that used to run at me when I walked through the door? What happened to the teenager that used to fall asleep on my lap? What happened to the just grown adult, full of passion? What happened, Eren?"

I looked around the disgusting hallway outside my front door. I couldn't leave him here. But at the same time, I didn't want him to come inside.

I was torn. I wanted him here, but I knew that I would be ruining his life.

I made a split-second decision.

I turned and opened my front door. "Come on. It's cold." That was true. It was winter here. Although, it was always winter inside Wall Maria.

Once Levi had come in and he had settled on a couch, with me standing up a few feet away from him - I could never be to careful with this curse over me - I started asking the questions.

"How did you get past the guards of Wall Sina?" I asked. It confused me; why would he leave the safe Walls of Sina just to come to me?

"Eren." He sighed. "When I was 14 and you were 9, I told you something. What did I tell you?"

"That Highers can get past any Wall?" I asked.

"I did say that, yes, but I also said that I would never leave your side."

"I had hoped you wouldn't remember that after I left."

"Of course I would remember it. I always keep my promises." Levi's steel grey eyes looked at me like I was stupid.

I ignored that. "Why did you come all the way out to Wall Maria to find me? I don't understand."

"Eren. What part of 'I will always be by your side' do you not understand?"

"So, you came out of the Highers' section of the city, through the Mediums' section of the city, and into the Lowers' section just for me."

Levi nodded once, his dark fringe bouncing.

"Alright then, another question for you. How did you know where I was?"

"Have you forgotten that your twin brother can Tag people, as well as Shifting?" He asked, incredulous.

I hissed softly. Armin. Of course. I shouldn't have let him Tag me all those years ago.

When Armin Tags someone, he can see where they are, what they are doing, why they are doing it, etc. However, he doesn't see it, instead he receives the information at random intervals in his brain.

Let me clear a few things up. Everyone in the city is a Shifter. There are Lowers, Mediums, and Highers. The Lowers live in Wall Maria, the Mediums in Wall Rose and the Highers in Wall Sina.

The Highers are Shifters that can Shift into any animal they want, like a Doppelganger. Most Highers have extra abilities. Armin's is Tagging someone. My twin sister, Mikasa, can move incredibly fast and is ridiculously strong. Levi's is appearing and reappearing at will. Mine is unique. No one has ever heard of it before. I can see inside people's souls, see all their secrets, their whole life story, even if they are dead. I don't like to use it, though.

Mediums are Shifters that can Shift into only one animal, usually an animal that describes them. For example, if you can Shift into a dolphin, you might have a love for the sea. They have no extra abilities.

Lowers are people who can't Shift. They have no extra abilities.

"My turn." Levi said, standing up. "How long did it take you to get from Wall Sina to Wall Maria?"

"I don't know. Ages. I wasn't counting the days." I said, truthfully.

He took a step closer. "Did you leave with anyone?"

"No."

Another step. "How long were you inside Wall Rose for?"

"Half a year."

Yet another step. "6 months?"

I nodded, crossing my arms.

He disappeared and I rolled my eyes. Typical Levi. When he reappeared behind me, I wasn't surprised.

However, I was surprised when he wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"Last question." He breathed in my air, causing shivers to crawl down my spine. "Why did you leave?"

I thought quickly. "I left…" I started.

"Yes?" He urged.

"I left… Because I realised that I had feelings for you."

A/N: Worst place to end a chapter ever. Sorry, guys! I wonder how Levi will respond to that bombshell…

I hope this chapter cleared everything up a bit. Sorry if it's short, I'm still getting used to writing. Hopefully, they will get longer.

This is my first story, so thank you to all of you that have followed it already!

Byeeee, pebbles! Stay cool! :D

Hidansbabe530: Thank you! Is he really doomed to be alone forever? Or is it a plot twist? We'll never know… Yet :D

MaggiexxLove: Thank you!
