Falling For You (Levi x Reader) Slowburn

Chapter 2:

"Oi!"

Levi's voice cut through the air, sending a chill down Y/N's spine. Her heart raced as she struggled to take in what was happening. Everything felt like it was moving too fast. The man holding her froze for a moment, panic flashing across his face, but it was too late. Levi was already dashing towards him, eyes locked in a deadly glare.

With frightening speed, Levi's boot slammed into the man's face in a brutal strike. The sound of bone breaking was sickening, echoing in the narrow alley like a gunshot. The force of the kick whipped the man's head to the side, sending him reeling, blood spraying as his nose crumpled. Y/N felt herself being yanked from his grip, her body thrown through the air like a ragdoll.

She barely had time to brace herself before she hit the hard brick wall. Pain exploded in her head as it slammed against the surface, leaving her breathless. Her arms, still tied, offered no protection, and her knees gave out, unable to support her any longer.

The world blurred around her, spinning out of control. Her breath came in ragged gasps, each one feeling more distant than the last. Her vision darkened, and she could feel her body shutting down under the pain.

Y/N's eyes rolled back as a wave of unconsciousness pulled her under, and the sounds around her faded away. The last thing she felt was the cold ground beneath her before everything slipped into darkness.

"What the hell?!" the man shouted, panic creeping into his voice as he looked down at his unconscious comrade lying on the ground. The two men still standing widened their eyes in fear, glancing up to see Levi in front of them like a shadow of death, his expression cold, showing no mercy.

The man on the floor groaned, trying to move, but his body barely responded. They couldn't tell if he would pull through after that kick. He looked more like a broken doll, lying motionless except for the occasional twitch of his fingers, hinting at a faint, lingering will to live.

The tallest of the remaining men, rage twisting his face, charged at Levi with a loud roar. His fist flew straight at Levi's face. But Levi moved with lightning speed, sidestepping the punch so easily it almost felt like a joke.

Before the man could react to missing his punch, Levi's boot slammed into the back of his knees. The sickening sound of bones cracking echoed as the man fell to the ground, his legs giving out beneath him. He tried to push himself up, dazed, but Levi was already on him. With a quick twist of his body, Levi's fist crashed into the man's jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground, completely knocked out.

Levi straightened up, his eyes scanning the alley. The two remaining men stood frozen, paralyzed by fear. One of them had wide eyes, struggling to grasp how easily Levi had broken their comrade's bones. The other shook visibly, his face pale as he nervously glanced between Levi and the crumpled figures on the ground. They could only imagine the pain they were in, and the thought of facing Levi next sent a chill down their spines, making them painfully aware of how vulnerable they were.

"Scumbags," Levi muttered, his voice tight with anger as he stepped forward, his gaze fixed on them. "What did you think you were going to do with her?" He lowered his voice to a chilling whisper, each word dripping with disdain. "Sell her? Assault her? You really thought you could get away with it?"

"N-no! Nothing like that!" one of the uninjured men stammered, raising his hands defensively as he tried to create some space between himself and Levi. "We were just going to demand money from her family for her freedom!" The tremor in his voice revealed his fear.

Levi's eyes narrowed, momentarily confused at the mention of their plans, but before he could press them further, the two men turned on their heels and ran, stumbling over each other in their desperation to escape. They disappeared into the darkness of the alley, leaving their unconscious companion behind in the dirt.
