Beauty and the Titan (ereri fanfic)

Chapter 4

"Hello?" A female voice rings through the empty halls. Levi looks up from his spot on the cold damp cobble floor. He was in the cell since he chose to trade places with his father so his father could live. He sighs thinking he was hearing things. He looks out the cell door to see a bright glow in the hall. Wait...was he seeing things now?

"I-is someone there?" Levi said shivering a bit as he got up and went to the cell door. As he did so the door swung open and he stumbles forward staying standing though. He looked to both his and s he say was a candelabra. He grabbed it, "who goes there?"

"Oh my, someone is very handsie." A female voice giggles right next to Levi's ear. He jumped and points the candelabra at the empty space behind him as he turned. He looked around confused.

"Who the fuck is there." Levi says slightly agitated.

"No one is over there," the voice says as Levi notices the candelabra change shape. It soon draped an 'arm' over Levi's hand. "But I am right here if that's what you mean?" Levi freezes up as the candelabra grows a metallic female face.

"Shit!" Levi tosses the thing at a wall. This causes Isabel to awaken from her long cat nap. The thing stands up dusting itself off with his candle arms. "What the hell are you?!" Levi asks as Isabel walks him to him.

The candelabra sighs and adjust its glasses. "I am Madame Hanji Zoë, one of the many servants of Master Jeager." The thing replies with a slight feminine tone, happily. "You must be the master's guest, ay?" Hanji hums with a smile.

"Master Jeager's Guest? Im a fucking prisoner, shit head." Levi spat as Isabel walks up to Hanji rubbing against her and purring.

"Oh no! Master Jeager always tends to let his anger get the better of him at times!" Hanji laughs starting down the stair case, having gave Isabel a pet. Levi looks at her confused and follows. "He is a real softie if you know him well enough." She hums hoping down the steps.

"Alright?" Levi says getting more confused by the minute. He keeps walking behind the talking candelabra.

"Yeah bu-" She starts but is cut off by a loudish voice.

"Hanji. What are you doing letting the prisoner out?" A deep voice says at the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm leading him to his room!" Hanji hums with a smile as a clock waddles out into the light is Hanji.

"His room? The master gave us orders t-" The clock starts but Hanji cuts him off this time.

"To not bother the prisoner, but Erwin! His eyes read with a wanting! One that was begging me to help his guest!" Hanji says excited as Erwin the clock sighs.

"Master Jeager isn't going to like this..." Erwin frowns with a sadden tone. He turns walking forward, and Hanji grins.

"Thank you Erwin!" Hanji grins and hugs him. Isabel meows and looks at Levi. Levi picks her up and smiles a little.

Erwin furrows his eyebrows together, "don't make a big deal out of it, now let's go show him to a room."

"Alright!" Hanji smiles and pulls back hoping down the hall. "Now this is Erwin! He is Master Jeager's royal advisor!"

Levi nods and asks a question that has been banging around in his head. "Why are you all...objects?"
Hanji's light dims and Erwin's tick lowered.

"That my lad is a old tale..." Erwin says with a frown as they all walk.

"I don't mind. Stories are the one thing in life I actually like..." Levi says holding Isabel as they walked.

"Alright But let's get you to the west wing before we tell that tale..." Erwin says sadly as they walk.

~magical time skip~

They all walk into a grand guest room that was dusty yet clean. Levi crinkled his nose at the sight and smell of dust. Hanji looks at him and snorts. "Are you a clean freak?"

Levi frowns, "no. I just hate the thought of bacteria living in the things around you. Bacteria that can kill you."

Erwin chuckles seeing a speechless Hanji. "We'll make sure to get you cleaning supplies in a bit ummm..." Erwin says trailing off not knowing Levi's name.

"Levi." Levi says setting usable on the bed.

"Yes Levi. I will remember that," Erwin says with a smile. Levi stands there and nods.

"Now...can someone tell me what happened?" Levi asks curious to know the story of the magical mysterious prison he was now in.

"We will over a cu-" Hanji says getting cut off my a cart pushing itself into the room.

"Cup of tea?" A strong female voice says finishing Hanji's sentence.
Levi looks in the direction of the voice seeing a tea pit on top of the cart next to a tea cup. Soon the cart gets in front of Levi and he jumps slightly seeing the tea pot had a face.

"Yes! Thank you Mikasa," Hanji smiles. Mikasa smiles and tips herself slightly pouring tea into the tea cup. Levi smiles slightly as he picks the cup up by the rim.

"That tickles!" A small voice says with a giggles. Levi looks at the cup noticing it start to bubble. He quickly sets the cup down and looks at its small face.

Mikasa frowns, "Armin I told you to stay in the kitchen."

"I know but I heard word that Eren had a guest!" Armin smiles as Mikasa sighs.

Levi chuckles, "you all don't see many people do you?" They nod sadly, looking at one and another. "Why is that? I mean this place is a castle....shouldn't the village know it's here?" Levi asks curiously as Hanji speaks.

"That answer is part of the tale we were going to tell you..."Hanji sighs sadly as Erwin looks at Levi.

"It happened long ago..."Erwin starts slowly beginning to tell their tale of curse to Levi.
