Am I a monster (Levi x OC)

Side Story

(Levi POV)

"How much do you think this is worth?" Farlan asked me, holding up a pearled necklace that he got from a noblewoman's possessions.

"I don't know." I said taking it from him and holding it up to the lantern in the room to get a better look at it. A piece of dust fell in my eye which made me flinch. I loosened my grip which made me drop the necklace.

"Ah!" Farlan yelled reaching out for it only to miss as it hit the floor.

"Levi!" Isabel yelled getting pissed at me

"Sorry." I said wiping the dust out of my eye

Farlan started picking up the pieces of the pearls on the floor as I got up to make more tea.

"Ava should have been back almost an hour ago." Farlan said picking up the string of the necklace

I continued looking down at the ground, not noticing that the tea was overflowing.

"What could ha-" Farlan started before there was a knock at the door.

All three of us stood up at once as it was unusual for someone to come late in the day. We walked to the door but didn't hear anything more. Farlan walked to one side with Isabel on the other and myself in front of the doorway. We let a few moments pass but no other sounds came. I nodded towards Farlan who nodded back and put his hand on the handle. He opened it slowly as Isabel pulled out a knife ready to attack anyone. She stood there for a second looking around.

"Isabel?" I asked slightly concerned

"There's noth-" She started before gasping and rushing down the stairs to the bottom of our property.

"Isabel!" Farlan yelled going after her

I walked slowly towards the door pulling a knife out of my coat. Farlan and Isabel were at the bottom of the stairs, they were picking up a body by the shoulders and hauling it up the stairs. Ava was being supported by them. I rushed to her, helping them as we continued up the stairs. As we got to our house, we walked inside and immediately went to her room. She was barely alive, deep cuts were made into her skin and her clothes were almost completely torn apart. The only thing that was left untouched was a military police coat that someone had put on her. The coat had blood stains but it didn't look like it was from her. There were multiple signs of a physical and sexual assault on her. She was unconscious but looked like she was conscious through part of it. I was left in such a rage that I couldn't stand.

"Take that coat off of her." Isabel said assessing her wounds

As I took the coat off, a note dropped to the floor. I picked it up and read it's contents.

"What does it say?" Farlan said going off to fetch water

"To who reads this." I said reading it as it said, "Don't seek me out, don't try to find me. I doubt she will remember what happened when she gains conscious. Please make sure that she gets proper treatment and care."

"There's no signature. No person who claims that this belongs to." I said putting the note down. "Whoever left this knows who we are. Their either someone underground who we have helped, or something else."

"You're right." Farlan said coming back with water

"Will you two shut up?!" Isabel yelled tending to the wounds "This is much more important!"

"But who could have done this?" I said thinking about the circumstances

(Ava POV earlier that evening)

I sighed, heading back from the market, Groceries in hand. I passed by small, and big shops alike, they were all the same to me. I passed down an alleyway which would lead me not too far away from the hideout. I looked ahead seeing a soldier with his arms crossed. He was standing against one of the walls of the alley but had a bad aura about him. As I walked past him, he looked up at me with interest, taking the cigarette out of his mouth.
