Freedoms Cost (Captain Levi)

Bitter Sweet

The next day Levi stood outside the shop, he looked around frowning, his instincs were more alert than useal, something was wrong. 

But Kenny's face popped up in Levi's mind... 

If he didn't return with that money for the watch Kenny would surely torchure him, maybe even kill him, he needed this money, to survive. 

With that in mind, ignoring what his instincs were telling him he walked inside the shop. 

Gareth James was cleaning something, he dropped it as soon as Levi opened the door, scambling to pick it up. 

Levi's eyes narrowed. 

"Awfully nervous today aren't you James?" Levi murmured, walking towards him. 

"L-levi s-so glad you could c-come" Gareth stammered, his body and his voice trembling. 

Levi moved so quickly that Gareth couldn't react. 

He picked him up by the shirt bringing the trader close to him. 

"Whats going on James?" Levi spat. 

Gareth's eyes flickered towards the door and before Levi could think anything the door burst open. 

Two survey corps burst into the room, Levi reconised the wings of freedom symbal on their jackets instantly, there eyes were on Levi, weapons at the ready. 

He turned towards the trader and snarled "You sold me out!" 

"Levi-" Gareth stamered but he was having none of it. 

His knife was out before anyone could react and had stabbed Gareth in the stomach, who gasped, gurgling and choking on his own blood as he slumped to the floor. 

Not caring if the asshole managed to survive the stab wound or not, Levi turned to the Survey Corps, a snarl on his lips. 

Their eyes widened as they took in what Levi had done to Gareth then looked more serious. 

They both ran at Levi, weapons raised at the same time. 

Levi dodged a couple of hits, notecing they were going for the back of the head, Levi's eyes narrowed in thought... 

They wearn't aiming to wound him, they were aiming to knock him out!

Though unluckily for them Levi was aiming for the opposite.

He grabbed on of the shoulders by the hair, dragging him down then the next solder using his legs to sweep her from the floor. 

He knocked out the man then raised his knife to deal with the women solder. 

They were skilled yes but they wearn't the most capable solders, Levi knew grimly there were probably better skilled solders outside, waiting for his move. Betta to send the replaceble soldors out first to see what they were dealing with than go in head first. 

He wasn't sure why the Survey Corps would be after him. 

Levi would have thought that they may want to kill him because of his crimes but them why were these solders aiming to knock him out and not hurt or kill him? 

Levi scowled, thinking he probably should have taken longer to fight the soldiers then the more skilled solders may think he was less skilled and be taken by suprise when he fought them. 

"Why are you after me!" He snarled at the still conscios women solder. 

"I don't know! It was Commander Erwins orders" She choked out, after some hesitation and Levi pushed his foot into her throat. 

His eyes widened in shock then he hissed "Is he here? Outside?" 

"Y-yes" She gasped out. 

Shit Levi thought. 

Could he take out the Commander of the Scouts? 

He wasn't sure. 

Levi was confident in his skill but he'd heard the Survey Corps higher ranking solders were the best of the best. 

Levi grinded his teeth together, for the first time in his life feeling unsure of himself. 

So it was either give himself up willingly and try and escape later or escape now and fight. 

Well at least the Scouts have given me a reason not to go back to Kenny and give him the money Levi thought bitterly, at least there was one good thing that would come out of this mess. 

He frowned, branashing his knife. 

His death might piss Kenny of quite a bit, after all he was Kenny's strongest contact. 

Levi smiled darkly. 

Well he did live to piss Kenny of. 

The thought was bitter sweet. 

He walked towards the door, taking deep breaths, readying himself for the fight of his life. 

Okay Survey Corps, lets see what you're made of. 

And with that he opened the door. 

He didn't know that from then on his destiny would be change forever.
