♛: Eighth Fatality

Because like always, good things never really lasted.

Commander Erwin still asked for his presence in the main tent to ask questions and Mikasa had fallen ill once more. She was back in bed again and was coughing up blood for two weeks. Eren asked Levi if he was still giving her the tears, and he replied with a yes. He was right; the tears wouldn't fix everything nor would it last for long. Eren was upset. He didn't want her to feel so much pain.

"There must be something you can do, right? I'll pay you anything, Levi," Eren said one night as he loomed over his sleeping sister.

"Of course there's something I can do, and I hope you already know what it is. You do know that it's a very high risk that she'll die, right? I don't think her body will be able to handle the venom," Levi explained.

"You said she's dying anyway, correct? As much as it pains me to say this, I think we should take a shot at this. I know it's selfish of me, but I don't want to lose her. She's probably going to hate me if I let you do this, though. That's fine."

Levi made a 'tsk' sound as he folded his arms and shook his head. "I'm going to tell you this now; there's a fifty-fifty chance that she can become a rogue vampire. Sick people like her always have a higher chance of being one, and they transform pretty quickly. Give her ten minutes and she'll be at your throat in a matter of seconds. She'll always be thirsty, more powerful and most likely not going to be like her old self. You don't need to do this, Eren."

Eren ignored the warning. "What do you want in return?"

"That should be obvious. Become my lover," he answered. "I want everything that you are, and you shall only belong to me."

Eren wrinkled his nose and  flinched at the word 'lover' and shook his head. "Are you joking?"

"I've liked you ever since you were young, do you really think I would be joking right now? You're all I want, Eren-"

"Okay you can shut up now. I'll do whatever you like. I don't care. Just... just bite her," Eren said reluctantly.

"Are you certain?" he asked and knelt down beside the poor excuse of a bed. He gently brushed away the silky, black hair that covered her neck.

"Yes. I'm sure."

He bit down on her pale skin without pausing and began to do his work. Eren couldn't even watch; he had the strength to watch Armin die gradually in front of his eyes, but he couldn't handle the thought of Mikasa transforming into a strong, but horrific monster. His own family was going to be like Levi. His sweet and loving sister was going to be a loveless and scary beast, and he knew it. When he looked back, Levi was finished. It had all happened just like that. He technically took his own sister's life away in less than twenty seconds. It was so simple, so easy.

"The deed is done. Now we must wait," Levi declared "You shouldn't be so close. When she wakes up, she might attack you and I don't want that to happen. She's most likely going to go rogue. I'll pin her down when that happens."

Eren wasn't so sure if he should be offended by Levi's selected words. She wasn't even awake yet and he spoke of her like she was so life threatening. They couldn't be too sure yet. Her chest had stopped rising and falling, and he couldn't see her breath float in the air anymore. She was stone. Eren couldn't even feel sad, he felt guilt rise in his chest, making his throat and tight. He did what Levi instructed and stayed a few feet away from the bed and waited patiently.

Minutes past, and Eren could hear nothing else but his own breathing. Vampires couldn't breath and their presence was too hard to notice. It was almost the same as being alone.
