All or nothing (Levi x reader)

Chapter 32

You furrowed your brow, watching Nathanael as he walked around you.

"Time for what?"

"You want to know more, and learn more, correct?"

"Yes."

"Well then, I think it is best for you to visit the other ancient demons and speak with them. They can offer you more insight and training."

You walked over to the demon, crouching down in front of where he sat.

"But I can't harness their power, only Otis'."

"You don't need a contact to be gifted power from a demon. Both yourself and Otis are able to break that contact any time, you will still have that power, he gave it to you."

"Then why does he keep it?"

Nathanael smiled, and chuckled a little bit.

"Because he likes you, and wants to make sure he can always help you. Do not get me wrong, you don't need a contact but having one allows you to use more. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Nathanael shook his head, standing up once more. He seemed restless, he was always moving around as if he was trying to distract himself.

"That does not matter. Now, I can send you to any one of the others. However, Lucan has requested to see you, he's curious."

"The demon of darkness, right?"

"Correct, I'm able to send you to him at any time. But make haste, I fear time is running out, and I'm sure you know that."

You nodded your head slowly, making your way back around the fire.

"I'll come back after I'm done."

"No need, simply just call my name and let me know."

You nodded your head and quickly ran off. You ran back outside and towards the castle.

You made your way inside and begun to walk, gasping for air as you wondered the hallways to the library.

Otis was sat on a chair reading book as you approached him.

"Otis."

He looked up and smiled up at you.

"What can I do for you?"

Your serious face made his smile fall instantly at the look upon your face.

"(Y/N)?"

"I'm leaving Mirock. I don't know how long for, or when or if I'll come back..."

"What's going on?"

You gestured for him to follow you as you made your way back to your room and he did.

"You know about Micheal, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well, he's after me. I'm not sure why, but all I know is that he's after me. That's why we suddenly decided to pull you free. Obviously you were there when I read the note but you didn't know fully."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

You grabbed a bag and started grabbing clothes and your notes, placing them neatly into the bag.

"I didn't want you to worry, and I know you'll be worrying now, but don't. I have to go somewhere, to someone who's going to help me."

"Then I'll come too, let me pack."

Otis went to leave but you snatched his wrist stopping him.

"Otis.. I.. stay..."

You didn't want him too, you really wanted him to come with you, but you couldn't do this to him. You couldn't take him away from a place that made him happy just because you had to leave.

"I'm not letting you go alone." He snapped.

"It's not a choice Otis, I'm telling you to stay. You're happy here, and that makes me happy. I'll come and see you if I can, and if not I'll find a way, Okay?"

Otis shook his head, glaring half heartedly.

"How the hell can I help you if I'm not with you?"

"You'll find a way. If I need you, I'll call. I trust you'll ind me Otis."

"I'm not leaving you, I made a promise to look after your and protect and help you."

You sighed, placing the bag on your back with another shake of your head. You reached out and took his hand in yours, offering him a small smile.

"This is my fight Otis, something tells me I need to do this."

"Then let me come with you." He begged.

"In the end everybody does this alone... it's my time... I don't want to drag anyone into this. I'm not asking for a promise, this is an order. Stay."

Otis opened his mouth but quickly closed it, he knew that he couldn't refuse an order from his contract. He physically couldn't.

"Fine, I'll stay. What about you? What if I need to tell you something?"

"Go to Nathanael, he'll be able to reach me. And Otis?"

"Yes?"

"Please go check up on the others, let me know how they're doing, please?" You begged.

Otis nodded his head slowly.

"Of course I will. I'll let Nathanael know for you."

"Thanks..." you whispered.

Letting his hand fall, you wrapped your arms around him in a hug, tears burning your eyes again. You were leaving everyone you loved behind because you had no choice.

"Just come back... please...?"

"I make no promises..." you whispered, "tell Lucy and Haden I've had to leave and thank them for me."

You pulled back and offered the demon a half salute which made him laugh sadly, and make you smile a little.

"Nathanael, I'm ready."

The was a small gust of wind, the silver haired demon appeared next to you, offering you his hand.

"Take my hand and close your eyes."

You did as he head and he held you tightly against him.

"Ready?" He asked.

"I'll see you later Otis, I'm ready."
