Loved For Once (Levi x Reader)

•Chapter Twelve•

I loud alarm interrupted my laziness in my room. It sounded like a fire alarm. It's probably Jean's doing. He always messes around the stove. I close my eyes again, ignoring the loud alarm.

Wait. It's 2:00am.

I quickly get up and grab a hoodie. Once my hoodie is on, I grab my gun. If anything happens, then I have something to defend myself with. I know how to use it. Calm down.

I quietly open the door to the hall and look around. Not a person in sight. I quietly sigh in relief and proceed to my neighbor. It was Sasha. I knock on the door quietly.

No response.

I grab the knob of the door and twist it slowly. To my surprise, the door opened. I peeked inside to see no one inside. That's when I really started to get nervous.

I grip my gun tightly, not planning to let go of it. This is really giving me the spooks. Then, I feel a presence behind me. Without a second thought, I turn around and shoot. I slowly open my eyes to see no one there. The alarm is still going. This isn't no accident, that's for sure.

I feel the urge to run suddenly. I do exactly what my mind wants me to do and run down the hallway.

Where should I go?

I stop dead in my tracks and look around cautiously. Something isn't right. Someone is intruding. Someone that plans to cause unwanted attention.

Levi. Shit. I don't know what condition he's in. Every intruder we've caught so far wants nothing but to kill him. I then sprint to the stairs, up to the floor his quarters is on.

How did no one hear my gun shots?

As soon as I get to the door of his quarters, I knock quietly. As every second passed, the more anxious I got. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Levi with two guns pointed at me. "It's just me!" I assure him. He sighs in relief and gestures me to come in. I quickly slither my way in the door.

"I checked Sasha's room. It was empty." I told him. He didn't look at me once. His eyes were focused on the door. "Are you feeling better?" I ask. "Much better. Thanks to the medicine. Now, let's focus on the situation now." He instructs me. I quickly shut my mouth.

I can feel myself shaking like a leaf drifting in the air. I take deep breaths in and out. It didn't help.

"Is this the room?" A voice at the door started the both of us. "Get your gun, (Y/N)." Levi instructed me. I shakily brought my gun out and pointed it at the door.

"Yeah. I know you're in there, Levi Ackerman." Another voice called out. By the look of it, Levi was..I don't even know! He looked pissed and stone cold.

"Fine. We'll kick down this door. Not like we can't." The men at the door laughed and started kicking at the door.

One final blow and the door was knocked down. "I'll get the respect I've always deserved.." the man smirked. "Heh, you think Kenny cares about a lowlife like y—"

He suddenly fell to the ground. Levi looked confused, but I knew what just happened. I shot the man. I..killed him.

Suddenly, it dawned on me. I killed someone. I'm supposed to be preventing that. I drop my gun and drop to my knees. "You son of a.." the remaining man then shot in our direction. Another shot was fired and before I knew it, the man was also on the ground.

Levi looks down on me and smirks. "Didn't know you had it in you." I looked up at him. I didn't dare to shed a tear. "I didn't either.." I muttered. I watched him roll his eyes and put a hand out for me. I grabbed it and pulled myself up. I grabbed my gun from the floor and sighed.

"There's probably more than two here." Levi spoke.

...

Are the others okay?

As we walk past the two men on the ground. My eyes go wide when I look at their faces. The man I shot just now..was none other than the man that killed Petra. I look at him with disgust. "What a fool. He got what he deserved." I muttered. Suddenly, the feeling of regret vanished.

I avenged you, Petra. I smiled softly.

"Come on, (Y/N). Stay on high alert. You never know when they pop out of nowhere." I put my full attention on Levi. Soon after, I am close behind him, waiting for him to give me orders.

"If you see necessary to shoot, do not hesitate. We're in a situation that you have to make your own decisions." Levi then reached in his pocket and handed me a knife. "I have another one. If you lose your gun, you always have a knife. You were always good at fighting with a knife."

I blushed. I mean, I just got a complement by Levi Ackerman. He makes me feel all weird. I swear..

"Oh thank goodness!" A voice behind us suddenly spoke. I turned around to see Sasha. "Sasha! I checked your room! Where were you??" I ran up to her in a rush. "I was getting a midnight snack, duh!" She told me with a smile. "Let's focus. Do you have a weapon, Sasha?" Levi asks her. "Yes sir! A gun and a knife." She replies.

Thank goodness she's okay. I hope everyone else is okay.

"By the way..I was currently running from some random guy.." Sasha slowly said. "You idiot! Why didn't you say something before?!" Levi then was quiet. "Duck." He instructed. The two of us did what we were told as Levi ran towards the nearest hard object and grabbed it. It was a vase.

The man was shooting, but none of the bullets touched Levi. When he got close enough, he smashed the vase on top of the man's head, making the man fall to his knees. Levi finished it off with a bullet to the head. I quickly looked away, not wanting to see the gory scene.

"Sangue.." Translation: Blood..Levi looked at his hands with disgust. They were covered in blood. "Whatever. Keep your eyes peeled, brats. This is officially a war zone." He wiped his bloody hands on the wall, making them somewhat cleaner.

I have a feeling that things are going to get really bad.
