Into deception

Too close

📚

"When I said you had some explaining to do I didn't mean let's go torture someone. Although this bitch has had it coming so you won't catch me arguing too much"

"Well torturing isn't what I had in mind but if she doesn't answer then yeah, we might need to pull a couple of things" and by a couple of things I mainly mean fingers or honestly anything will do.

"What about you?" Lev asks turning around to Nicholas.

He looks down to her, giving little to no emotion as he speaks "what about me?"

"Well are you okay if we torture your nut job of a girlfriend?"

"She's not my-" he sighs with slight frustration suddenly yet just as fast as it came it goes, like something just clicked inside him and he's all good "if Mia wants to kill her fine, if Mia wants to torture her that's also fine"

Levi just looks him up and down with a slight smirk rising that she quickly hides by turning around "I leave for a couple of weeks and come back to a whole different world, remind me not to leave again please"

We all fall to silence as Himiko begins to steer awake, she groans and twists but the second her eyes blink open her whole appearance changes. Calmly asleep one second and a whole animal the next, she begins shaking uncontrollably trying to get out of her tied down body and all we can do is listen as the chair under her begins to creak and shuffle from its original position.

"Himiko" I say once and it all stops, that murdering glare sets right onto me in less than a second.

"She honestly look's possessed, you sure we don't need a priest or a nun, or something with a cross maybe?" Lev whispers under her breath and I can't help but smile. Although, she might not be too far off when I take another glance at her.

"You finished?" I ask as she keeps staring with her almost black eyes.

"Not in the least" her rough voice gravels out.

"Of course not, alright so what's with the hirings? Why have you all of a sudden decided that now is the time to finally kill me?"

"You-" she stops, licking her lips as she positions her body into a more comfortable position "- I don't need to explain myself to you"

"Look, Himiko" Levi says inching closer to her "Mia over here is a lot more nicer than us-"

"Well you're all welcome to choke on it since you idolise her so fucking much" her lips tremble out. Levi chuckles leaning down to her level before lounging onto her, tying her hand around her jaw and even though we all tense we know more than anything that we wouldn't get to her in time. Her other hand fall to the top of Himiko's shoulder, pressing just the tinniest amount before a whimper rolls out without control.

"And yet it's the souls reason why you're not utter raw meat just waiting to die, but please, keep pushing that luck of yours and I'll do it right now" she presses down again and Himiko's whole body shifts to that same side, just trying to rid even the slightest bit of Levs relentless pressing.

"Ah but you won't" she replies smugly "you can't"

Levi chuckles and yet indulges in her high fantasy anyway, she's having a little too much fun with her but then again, so would I if I'd met her a couple of hers earlier "and why's that?"

"Because-" her gaze shifts beyond me, landing on a very specific person "- he won't let that happen"

Although he said I could do anything I wanted, I still end up turning to him. I still end up looking at him with a questioning gaze but when he looks at me with a smile, I know all that I need to know.
