One Of A Kind (Levi X Reader) AU

40. If Only...

Reader's POV

"Where is she?" I glared at Mikasa in front of me.

"No greetings? Just straight to the point? I suppose that is something you would do," She stared back at me, "If that's so then I'll hurry as well. Let's begin by you putting down your weapons."

"I don't have any weapons."

"You're wasting your time," She sighed, "Put them down or this conversation isn't moving forward. Don't you want to check your partner's sister's condition?"

I sighed, defeated, as I pulled out my gun, put it on the ground and slid it toward her, "Why did I go through the trouble of buying it in the first place?"

"I don't know. Second one, please."

I did the same to the second gun hidden on my body.

"Third one, please."

Here goes my third one.

"And the last one."

How'd she know that this would be the last one?

"Ah, predictable as always," Mikasa smiled, "You are known for being unpredictable and that is why you are such a highly rated criminal but if someone knows you for long enough, it's easy to guess what you will do next. Odd numbers give you anxiety and you would feel that two guns would be too less. Six is too many to hide on your body."

Of course.

But I didn't think she actually paid attention to the times I blabbered on about myself.

"So where is she?" I repeated the first line I said since seeing Mikasa today.

"She's in the other room," Mikasa answered while picking up my guns, "I'll go get her. Move and she won't meet a nice end."

Mikasa took my guns and left the big old hall I was in. It was filled with mirrors and opened cardboard boxes in the size of the mirrors kept around.

Is this...or rather...was this...a mirror warehouse?

It's giving me a familiar and eerie feeling....

I-I don't like this place at all.

"Sorry for the wait," Mikasa re-entered the big hall from a door as she wheeled along a wheelchair holding an unconscious Isabel on it, "She's fine. Just unconscious. I kept her unconscious so that I wouldn't have to tie her up and hurt her."

"So nice of you," I scoffed.

"I would hardly be considered nice by making this the location of our meet up," She looked at me with dead eyes, "Mirrors everywhere in this warehouse. I expected you to remember something because of this. I apologise for making this place like this but I was extremely bored while waiting for you for hours so I decided to make a mirror unboxing channel on YouTube. Unfortunately, I have zero followers as of now. And another unfortunate thing is that this place reminds me as well of that night that we both hate. I didn't realise what it would become while I was unboxing them and I didn't have enough time to put them away before you arrived."

"I don't need an explanation," Uneasiness spread like wildfire throughout my body, "What are your demands?"

"I need you," She said, "Get me the diamond and then you're free. It's a pretty sweet deal if I do say so myself."

I was quiet for a moment. Of course I was. I was being asked to give up my reason for existence in exchange for a human life. And it wasn't any human life. I wouldn't trade my purpose for any human life. It was Isabel. Isabel was an amazing person but even she herself didn't mean all that to me. It was Levi. Levi wasn't everything to me like my brothers were but still, I had talked to him enough that if he lost his sister and felt the same things I did when I lost my brother, Armin, it would hurt me.
