Your's truly (Levi X OC)

Shock

I can't wait around for someone to see me like this, I rush to the guard who has his body still intact, sliding my hands over his uniform to find a key.
In this moment of silence, my actions momentarily catch up to me, a pain hitting me in the chest.
  I just did an unrepeatable crime.
  My chest caves in, a deep breath suctioning out of me.
   Two of my own men, property of Centenary. Murdered by my hands,
What am I becoming?
What are they turning me into?
 
   My eyebrows furrow, no, this isn't my fault, if they hadn't chained me, abused me the way they did and labeled me a traitor, this would not have been the outcome.
    I grin, a relief flushing over me when I feel the hard plastic card that holds access to the metal doors in his pants.
     I slide my grimy hands into his pocket, clutching it to my chest the moment I set it free.
  
    "I'll pay with sand dollars when I see you guys down beneath." I promise, turning away with a smile.
   My emotions are...questionable.
But I promise I'm not crazy, in fact I'm the very opposite, just a bit unstable is the most I'll qualify myself of being.
     I place the keycard over the scanner, watching the light glow green before a clicking sound chimes.
    Bingo.
  
  I cock the gun, resting it on my shoulder as the doors begin to open. They groan and squeak, peeling open to reveal a hall that is dark, not a single body in sight.
 
  As if there is some presence lurking in the hall I feel an immense feeling crawl over my skin, my heart catapulting into a rapid pace.
    Fear is a dirty powerful thing, and currently it's trying to take over my body right now.
The dark has always been something I've feared terribly.
   
   I inhale deeply, taking one step into the hallway.  You got this Iris.
My skin pellets with bumps, a chill rolling down my spine as my heart begins to race.
  Uncertainty lurks on every surface.
I begin to descend down the hall, aiming my gun out for any unknown person that could appear.
It's just the dark. I nearly give myself a migraine with how much I strain my eyes to see, it's useless because I still can't see a thing.
Nothing is there Iris. I tell myself , walking blindly down a hall is not the smartest thing to do but I have to get out of here.
   
   It's quiet, dark and stiff.
The air if full of uncertainty and I don't know how I'm going to end up after this, will I make it out alive?
    I huff, taking small steps through the hall,
When I really dwell on the matter of this whole situation, why does any of it matter?
    Who would've thought that me, I roll my eyes, that little insignificant ole me seeing Levi all but once would have caused everyone to short circuit and blame me for all the issues in centenary?
   
    If any of you could have seen it coming, color me surprised because I sure as heck couldn't.
    My jaw ticks, a pressure building with how hard I have my teeth clenched together.
   I blink, a bead of sweat sliding down the temple of my head.
   Stay focused,
I want to scream like a little child and run hack into the safety that that chamber provided for me.
   But I know I will never get out of here if I did that.
  
   Just keep going, I tell myself, taking larger and quicker steps, from here I can make out the end of the hall, it's a right turn.
    Once I reach the end it flips, the hall now hosts bright lights, the expansion of a million doors stretch out along the walls, a bold five figured number posted above every door.
     It looks like...prison.
    Just a more fancy...asylum.
    I ready my gun, hearing the echo of chatter and a jingle of noisy keys reverberate off the walls.
    Stay...focused.
   I exhale quietly, the hard thing about this bright hallway is that there doesn't seem to be any shadows to hide in.
    Sucks for me.
  I continue to move down the hall, the sounds growing louder the more I near.
 
  I reach a den, a small built in room that's open spaced, hosts three male guards who sit around eating and watching what looks to be basketball.
      Lazy hogs.
   I lean against the wall, eyeing them up.
It won't take me long to hit them with the famous unknown sneak attack, but it's the noise I worry about.
    I can kill them in seconds and be alerted, or find a way past them.
    ...I give myself time to think, option one pulling me by the collar.
    Just go in for the kill-

   Yeah, but You also have to think smartly Iris, I square my shoulders, poking my head from behind the wall to check on the men.
   They still cluelessly watch their game, completely unaware of my presence.
    
    "Come on..come on.." One of them murmur, times ticking and I have no clue what to do.
   I'll just trust my gut and hope for the best.
  
  "Surprise gentlemen." I say, coming from behind the wall before I shoot all three of them in the skull.
   The echo of the gun going off is loud. But not as loud as the siren that sounds shortly after.
   That didn't take long,
    Okay maybe it was an impulsive decision to shoot them, but at least we have things rolling now.
  
   My heart pounds in my chest, blood rushing in my ears as begin to I run down the rest of the hallway, I can't believe I just did that.
   I shake my head, looking every which way to make sure my path is clear before descending.
    The white light has now turned red,
  
   A bloody color casted over everything, the loud speaker blares an alarm.
   Where is everyone?
  I continue running, in my black undergarments and all, I don't have any shame about it either.
    "Iris Nevergreen has escaped. Repeat, Iris Nevergreen has escaped."
    I stiffen, that voice sounds so...familiar.   
   Who could it be?
    I hear noises from behind me, turning to crane my neck I catch a glimpse of an emergency escape door.
Perfect.

I move my legs to make a run for the door, pushing the handle down to go inside. It leads to a large stairwell, the red light setting this place ablaze.
It's eery, dark and cold.
 
I climb up the stairs, my energy depleting, it's like suddenly I can now feel the gaping hole eating my stomach out, the pulsing headache, the low energy I have now that my adrenaline is decreasing.
    Normally I'm not out of breath, so finishing these stairs while heaving like an overweight American is new for me.
I cough, my lungs burning from the inside out.
 
   I have no clue where I'm going, nor how I'm going to get out of here. But I do know that I have this aching desire to know if Mr.White is here.
    I enter through another exit door, going into another hall.
   This one is pale and grey, like the room I was chained in, everything is ashy cement.
    Of course that red light still glows over everything, the alarm beeping loudly.
    
  "This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder." I mumble,
   
  "Indeed."
  I turn around quickly, my heart dropping out of place.
   ...It's..Mr.white.
