Curious [Nancy Wheeler X Oc]

〰️1979 〰️

Of course he felt guilty. He was leaving her- alone, with the fucking monster of a father they had. But he couldn't sit around anymore. Especially not after tonight.

Call it an awakening. Whatever the fuck those were supposed to be. But he could feel the weed slowing his thoughts and he got hazy, his head reeling as he threw more and more clothes into the small suitcase sitting on the bed.

He hardly paid attention to the girl sobbing on the other side of the bed. In all honesty, he couldn't even make out what she was saying. This shit was strong.

"Levi, please! Please don't do this, I can't live here alone. Don't l-leave me!"

Her sobs shook her whole body violently. Her face was purple from gasping for air between the tears. Levi wiped a track of the salty tears from her cheeks. She placed her hand over his, sniffing thickly.

"Please..."

But he had left anyways. And one week later, sent Kali in as a police officer delivering the news he had passed.

Sure, it was fucked up. But what other option did he have? He had been checking in on Lydia every night and could see exactly what she was planning. She wanted to come after him, and he couldn't let that happen.

Her screams were loud enough to shatter his ears when she found out.

〰️1981〰️
Levi fell in naturally with the group. It was easy- a free place to live in exchange for his special trick. All he had to do- look and find the worse memory someone possessed.

The rest was easy. He described it to Kali and she would make it appear before them. If heart failure didn't kill off the old one, his crew would in a more physical manner.

He wasn't proud of what he did. But he enjoyed his life for the most part. Looking for Lydia was one of the worst decisions he could've made.

She had her own special quirk he knew well. She could make anyone feel any emotion she chose and when.

What he hadn't expected was to find her in the void- especially not his own.

Something even more shocking- she seemed to hear his calls.

〰️1984〰️
Her face was blurred, but Levi saw himself in it. Her hair had grown out long now (something their father hated- said it made her look like a whore). And her lipstick- the shocking red she wore.

She was beautiful, even in the blurred image he saw. He felt his heart drop that day.

He knew she saw him. He knew she kept trying to find him. Some nights he was right behind her as she searched. He just didn't have it in him to gain her attention.

How do you explain to your twin sister you and your girlfriend faked your own death?

Call him selfish, but in all honestly Levi was scared shitless.
