{LEVIHAN} My True Lover

Chapter 13: Returning

Levi's POV

Opening my eyes once more... it's been a week... since I did it. And I promise... I'll make it to you... her starry eyes were forever burned into my head... I see her smile, smelling her tangled hair as it was stained with roses. Holding her hand was so warm and I loved it... I wanted to hold it forever... and I will... once I get out. But I'm in this cell... not anymore...

"Oi! Ackerman." Getting up from the bed, it had to be now or never... I learned my lesson before, and Hanji was counting on me. I had to get out... "Get the hell up."

Walking over, I felt them put the cuffs on as they were preparing to escort me out. Free time... as they called it... run around and do deals... trying to make due as they hang out in this cage... soon, once I felt the sunny rays on my pale skin, they took the cuffs off.

Looking down on my wrists, they bruised it... because, I was resistant to submitting before them... seeing how red they were... a couple scars and all... nothing that I can't handle...

"You're free... in this pathetic yard..." He laughs as I walked away towards the biggest and baddest guy who was way below me.

To everyone, they all feared him... when in reality, he fears me. This big, muscular guy 'protected' me as he followed my every order. Everyone was under my clean hands... seeing how much control I have here...

"Donut." I call to him as he stood up. Towering over me, I smirked. "It's time. Make me that distraction."

He nods, "Yes sir..." He says before handing me a roll of money in a form of a handshake.

Donut promised me that he'll steal me $100 for starters. And this time, it seemed he gave me double. He just wanted me to see my girl once more... after all, I was innocent... protecting my lover...

Walking around, staring at the blue sky, I waited for the time for me to hold Hanji's hands once more... to smell her hair and to run my fingers down in her tangled hair. "Oi! I heard you were planning to assassinate me in my sleep, moron?!" Donut's voice echoes throughout as he begins the chaos...

The guards rushed over to intervene, leaving an exit open. While they were all busy, I climbed over the fence, and never looking back. Running into the woods with just money... I hope I can remember where she lived... because tonight, I'm rescuing her from her prison...

*   *   *

Out of breath, tired and dirtied, I finally reached her house. Her light was turned off, as well with all the other lights. As I climbed the tree, I went as quietly as I possibly could... moving towards her window. On a hot night like this one... her window was open, letting the cool air breeze into her room.

Tiptoeing close to her bed, I see her, softly slumbering. Leaning close to her, I kissed her beautiful lips. Soon, she jumped after I pulled back. I hear her panting in fear, but once she turned on her light, and seeing me, she was relieved...

"Levi..."

Smiling, I finally had her... "Hey Hanji..." I say to her. Her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me down and I smelled her rose shampoo in her hair. "I... I missed you..." My hand strokes her cheek until something caught my eye. A scar on her cheek... it wasn't deep, but it would show. "What happened?"

She pulls her hair over it, "You shouldn't know-"

"Hanji, I love you... what happened?"

Hanji sighs before crying into my chest. My hand strokes her back, calming her down. "M-My dad... the day after I got back from visiting you, I got sick, and when I asked to see a doctor, he told me no. I even demanded it because I wasn't normal... and he used a knife, swiping at me... cutting my cheek." Her hands went to it. "Don't worry about it... it'll heal..."

"No..." My hand covered hers as I kissed her forehead. "He ruined you... has he been doing it that much?"

"I-I guess... maybe because I dated a cute yandere like you..." She says with a giggle. "But... you're here... why? You're breaking the law again-"

"Don't worry... pack a few clothes, take what you need..." I say, kissing her sweet lips. "I'll be back..."

"L-Levi? A-Are you-" Her hands covered her mouth as her eyes pleaded 'no.'

Sighing, I told her... "Hanji... if you're gone... he's gonna force you to come back here... to this hell-hole. Now, I ask you something... and I need you to answer it honestly. Do you want to stay with a piece of shit like him? Or... do you want to leave with me? We'll run away... far away from here... and I promise... I'll be the one to take care of you..."

Hanji sighs, getting out of bed. "Alright then... but please, make this promise. After this death... no more. Please, I don't want you to be taken away like that..." She coughs, "Please..."

No more deaths... "Alright... no more killing..." I say, walking down to the kitchens.

If I remember correctly... the knives were down in the kitchen... pulling on her father's gloves, I examined each one. Picking the sharpest of them all, I close Hanji's door as she was packing her stuff into a suitcase. I then walked down the hall, opening her father's bedroom and closing it behind me.

Hanji once told me that he's a heavy sleeper... so, even if I turned on the light, he wouldn't know a damn thing... so, as he sleep soundly, I couldn't wait to hear his cries... one stab into his gut, he jolts awake, screaming before I put in another one.

"You're a pig..." I say, stabbing him once more. "Hurting your damn daughter like that... you don't know how precious she is to me..."

As he struggles to breath as I kept stabbing him,  he finally utters, "S-Spare me..."

"Tch, like I would spare a filth like you..." I say, ending it with one stab through his neck, watching him choke. The blood on my hands were warm and dirtied my clothes... but, I had enough time...

Pulling from his closet, I chose a sweatshirt, some sweatpants, and walked over to the bathroom. Opening her door to utter a few words, I say, "Hanji... I'm a bit of a mess... I'll take a quick shower..."

"Levi... quick question..." She says, walking towards the door, peeping through and ignoring the blood on my clothes.

"Anything, my love..." I say, kissing her hand.

"How far are we going?"

Chuckling softly, "Hanji... we might drive for hours... why do you ask?"

She smiles, "Well... while you're showering, I'll pack us some food- no, most of it. It's not like Dad will need it..." She grimaces as she says that, but I kissed her. 

"Hanji... I promise, we're gonna live a good life. Just you and me... maybe... I want to have a family with you... and I won't be like your dad... I'll take care of you. Protect you..."

Nodding her head, she then smiles again. "I... I trust you, Levi..."

*   *   *

After showering and changing into his clothes, I went around, searching for money. Thankfully the guy had $500 around, and that Hanji knew her bank account, so whenever she wanted, she could pull money out for us...

Checking up on her, she had a full box of food and her suitcase was by her side. Walking up to her, I smelled her hair, wrapping my arms around her waist and gripping tight... "Hanji..." I say, kissing her neck.

She smiles and kissed my forehead, "Let's leave... together..." She says as she gripped onto her suitcase, and I took the box of food before piling into her father's van. Putting her food and suitcase back there, I put the middle seats down and that Hanji sat in the passenger seat while I stayed in the driver's.

Soon... we started to drive away. Thankfully I still knew how to drive... my license was back home... hopefully. But, as long as I have Hanji, my life's complete...
