Levi

Where is he? Is he okay?

A group of Frails lead me down a dark corridor. The smell leaking off of them is enough for my head to start hurting. When I first arrived, only two Frail vampires were standing guard. It took everything in me to not kill them. To kill their flesh from their bones. To taste the blood pouring from their puny veins.

However, here I am following a group of hungry, lowly vampires to have a meeting with their Clan leader. Whoever he is, I hope he has a high pain intolerance. He'll be needing one if he doesn't.

Echoing from one of the closed doors in the dark hallway, Levi's voice rings out.

"If someone doesn't bring me a fucking glass of water soon, you can all except me to die on these clean tiles."

My body reacts faster than my mind, in less than a second all of the vampires around me are laying on the ground. Dead. Their blood covers my hands, but I easily wipe it off one the closest one near me.

After standing back up, the realization that Levi is here really sets in. There was a possibility that the Sina Clan had killed Levi before me coming here. Luckily, thats not the case.

A familiar vanilla scent reveals itself, but so does another scent. One I was hoping to not smell ever again.

I open the door that the vanilla scent leads me to. Inside is a interrogating room with the Brunet that tried to have me killed. Oh this fucker here thinks he's smart. A growl resonances from within me.

"Bertholdt" The Brunet jumps at my voice and turns to face me.

"Eren, you weren't suppose to come in here yet." His voice shakes with fear but he smells excited. What a sick fuck.

"You know, I kept wondering what happened to you. I killed your inamorato, I know you felt it when it happened. So why you never came for revenge, it left me curious. But then it hit me. Reiner wasn't your first inamorato. Oh no, Annie was the one you truly loved but she died. Leaving you to rot, to join her in death. However you decided to move on. Well, after some research, apparently having too many lovers gives you a cancer-type sickness. It starts from your chest and works its way all around. You're dying, Bertholdt. How does it feel?"

He looks away from me which causes me to look in the direction that he's looking in too. Sitting on the ground is my lover. Broken, bleeding, and beaten. Bruises cover him everywhere.

"W-what did you do!" I slam a hand against my mouth to choke down the screams of horror from seeing my Levi like this.

"You took away what I loved so now I'm taking away the only thing you love. I feel fantastic but I can see that you don't care about my well being." Bertholdt throws me a smile, making my hands clench into fists.

But as I'm about to break this motherfucker's face in, a voice rips apart the silence hanging in the room.

"You will never break him! You can torture me, kill me, do anything you want to me but you will never fucking break him." Levi stands only a few feet away from me, on the other side of the window, his voice sounds weak and horse like he's been screaming for too long.

My hands slam into the control panels smashing the whole machine into pieces. The lights flicker off, hiding Levi's view of everything.

"Eren!" Bertholdt's voice cracks, he starts to tremble with fear. All the excitement in him is gone. Good.

"For murdering innocent citizens, attempting to kill the leader of the Maria Clan, and trying to kill my fucking Levi I sentence you to die." Bertholdt tries to run past me but I quickly grab his arm and throw him into the window. He smashes into it and soars into the wall. Levi backs away, unsure of what is happening.

"E-eren" Bertholdt begs, his arm lifts out of the wall trying to stop me.

"Oh no, Bertholdt. You fucked up. I was going to allow you to live but no. You had to take my Levi. Torture my Levi. And try to kill him. If you see Reiner, tell him his blood tasted like shit." I thrust my arm into his chest and with one fluid motion, rip out his still, black heart.

Bertholdt's body begins to turn to stone, only to blow away like dust from the air conditioning.

"Eren?" Levi's weak voice whispers in the darkness.

I turn to my lover who is pressed against the wall, hiding himself from his fear.

'Please be Eren. I'm done with these stupid ass people and their shit.' His voice echoes in my head. I walk slowly over to his shaking form.

"Levi, its me, I'm going to take you away from this place." I lower my hands as Levi reaches for me. Picking him up increases his heartbeat and for once I'm not sure if its from happiness or from fear.

It doesn't take me long to get back home but Levi doesn't seem any less stressed and tense as before. I didn't even bother introducing him to my Clan. He doesn't need anything else happening right now. He's hurt and needs his rest.

"Where are we going?" His voice stammers out as I climb the stairs leading up to my room.

"Are you hungry? I know you're tired, so I'm taking you to my room. No one is going to come in there." That seemed to relax him.

"I don't know if I should eat. My body hurts too much to move." That doesn't make me feel any better but I don't need to feel anything to help Levi. I kick my door open and cross the room to put Levi on my bed. After settling him down, I leave to get him some food. We should have something like chicken noodle soup in the cabinets.

But after checking and rechecking the cabinets, I find no soup. Well shit. What am I going to do about this? I mean I could run into the city and get some but I really don't want to leave Levi. Even for a second.

"Staring at the cabinets is pretty interesting, isn't it?" Marco's happy voice surprises me. I step away from the disappointment and look at Marco.

"What do you even feed someone that was almost beaten to death? We don't have any soup. I don't think his stomach can handle anything else." I throw my hands up and tangle them into my hair, ripping some pieces out as I try to come up with a better solution.

"Well I'm not an expert, oh wait yes I am." Ymir walks into the kitchen, being her usual cocky self. "But you should feed him some of your blood. It'll heal him." Marco frowns at Ymir and shakes his head.

"You can't give vampire hunters vampire blood. Especially ones like Levi. Whenever Jean gets hurt he still won't accept some. They don't like the idea of surrendering to us and our ways." Marco stares at Ymir, trying to see if she understands. She doesn't, that or she just doesn't care.

"Thank you for your advice but Levi really needs me right now." I leave my Secure as I go back to check on Levi.

Once I reach my room I check on all of his wounds. He has four broken ribs, two on each side, his fingers and toes are broken. To make matters worse, Levi has a high fever of 103. Levi will die if he doesn't get better soon.

I can't save him.

I can't save him.

I can't save him...Unless I give him some of my blood.

But if I do, he'll start the process of turning into a vampire.

Vampire blood becomes addictive, almost like drugs. Once you get a taste of it, you'll never want anything more.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I stand above Levi, looking down at his broken body. His usual smell of vanilla and strawberries is gone. How is it that only a few hours have past and my lover is closer to his death bed? He smells like rotten strawberries. If I could just wait till tomorrow, I would have time to think this over. But I don't have time and neither does Levi.

I lean down and brush a kiss on Levi's forehead. "I'll be back soon, I promise." I whisper against his skin.

After gathering my council, we sit in the basement. A meeting has started.

"I don't have time to explain what happened with the Sina Clan but I will after we solve this issue." My hands hold my head, I don't know what to do and I have so little time.

"Eren, what's the problem?" Sasha leans forward in her chair, on the edge of her seat. I softly groan into my skin.

"The Sina Clan had beaten Levi to the point of death. There's a possibility that he can recover on his own but its very unlikely. If I don't give him my blood then, he might die."

"And? Why don't you already?" Connie suggests as if I'm an idiot.

"I would but that will begin Levi's transformation."

Ymir rolls her eyes, "are you that dumb Eren? If you have to give your mate blood to change their taste don't you think that they might already be in the process of changing?"

"I forgot about it, to be honest." Christa scoots her chair to mine and pats my back.

"Well, Levi will just have to deal with it if he truly loves you. Anyways, all inamoratos turn to be with their immortal lovers." Christa's sweet voice fills the tense air and calms me down.

"Thank you, Marco you've been silent. Do you have anything to add before I decide?" But Marco just shakes his head and walks upstairs. I can't tell if he's angry with what everyone has said or if he's just angry at me.

Being in love with a hunter makes you rethink these kind of things. Marco wouldn't be able to just feed Jean his blood without making Jean furious. Now that I think of it, Marco probably hasn't been able to change Jean's taste. No wonder Marco is angry, I would be too.

'Eren?' Levi's voice, sounding much stronger, reverberates in my head. Ah he's awake. "Levi's awake, I should go." I say goodbye to the rest of the council and leave the basement.

Levi, even though he's awake, is not looking better at all. The bruises on his body have more of a purplish tone to them. Its difficult for me to look at my lover without wanting to murder Bertholdt again.

"Levi," I try to start but my voice catches in my throat. Levi rolls his head to the side to look at me. He raises an eyebrow so he won't have to speak.

"Oh Levi" My feet stumble as I walk over to my bed. I fall to my knees to make eye contact with him.

"I can't do this anymore, watching you lay there in pain." His hand lifts up from the bed and lands on my cheek.

"You brat, I haven't even been here for a day and you're already complaining." A tear rolls down my face, he's right in some sense. Its only been a day since he was attacked. I shouldn't... I shouldn't do something that could hurt Levi in the long run.

"I'm going to leave this up to you, but I want to heal you. If you want to wait this out and heal on your own then by all means, continue to lay here. But I can heal you so much faster. If you just drink some of my blood-"

"Why in the world do you think I would do that?" His eyes turn dark and cold. What is it with these hunters?

"Because if you don't then you'll die from blood loss and internal bleeding. Oh and the fever that isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm not going to let you stay here in my house if you keep acting like every goddamn vampire is out to kill you. No one here would even try to bite you. Get your shit together before giving me your answer." I arise and walk to the door, "you may be my inamorato but you will never be my boyfriend again if you don't stop." And with that, I leave. Levi's heart beats faster with shock. His scent of rotten strawberries starts to smell more like trash as his health dies down. Hopefully he'll rethink his decision on the matter of his well being before giving me his answer.

Or else I can expect my inamorato to die well before his time.
