Freedoms Cost (Captain Levi)

The Taste Of Freedom

Levi felt like someone had picked him up and dunked him in ice cold water. 

"You want me to what?" Levi spat. 

"You heard me" Erwim said completly calmly. 

Levi shook his head violently, backing more into the wall "No, no way, I am not joining you're little bitch squad!" 

"I'm afraid that wasn't request" Erwin said, his voice hardening. 

"What was it then? A order? I'm sorry Commander but I'm not a solder" Levi sneered, glaring into Erwins ice cold eyes, supressing a shiver, the focus and intensity in those eyes was abnormal. 

"You will be" Hange said. 

"Who the fuck are you?" Levi snarled. 

"Don't use bad laugage" Hange tutted. 

Levi glared at her. 

Mike chuckled with amusement "You picked a interesting one here Erwin, his more wild than us"

"Indeed, he needs to be tamed" Erwin said cooly. 

He told Levi "You will come with us willingly or unwillingly. You will leave everyone you know behind, maybe family members or freinds"

Fuck that Levi thought coldly, the only person he'd be leaving behind would be-

He stiffened as a thought accured to him. 

Wait... 

Wait just a second... 

If he went with these solders he'd never live in the underground again and therefore he'd never see Kenny again. 

His heart started to thud hard in his ears as his thoughts came to be, he couldn't stop the exitement that slammed into his body. 

Never to see Kenny again. 

Never to be controlled by Kenny again. 

This...this was his chance!

He-he'd be free! 

The solders and the Commander looked on in confusion as their prisinors mood suddenly changed dramatically. 

"Okay! I'll do it!" Levi said suddenly, with barly held in happyness. 

And I thought this human couldn't suprise me any more Erwin thought, trying not to gawp at Levi's sudden change of heart. 

Mike and Hange both wearn't so lucky in holding back their suprise as both of their mouths hung open. 

Erwin said slowly "Mike ascort Levi to the stairs to the surface" 

The stairs were gaurded constantly and only the millitary could come in and out as they pleased, all the other civilians were left to rot. 

As soon as they were out of sight and Erwin knew Levi couldn't hear them he asked Hange "What did you get from him?" 

Hange muttered frowning "He was extreamly hard to read but I did get a name, he suddenly seemed really exited to get rid of someone I think? Someone called...Kenny?" 

Erwin stiffened...

Could it be...?

No...

Theres no way they could be the same people. 

How would Levi know him and still be alive?

"You know him?" Hange asked as Erwin tensed up. 

He shook his head "Its probably nothing, I used to know someone by the name of Kenny, foulest human I've ever lied eyes on but it can't be the same person, I doubt Levi would still be alive if it was, even with his skill" 

"Well whoever it was he seemed pretty dam happy to be rid of him" Hange said. 

"Mmm, maybe who owe this Kenny our thanks then" Erwin said softly, looking up at the cieling. 

Meanwhile Mike and Levi were walking upstairs, they reached the black gate that blocked all the light from coming in. 

Mike gave the order for the gate to be unlocked, the guard giving Levi wary looks did as he was told. 

Soon they were facing the sun and the sky. 

Levi's dead eyes finally seemed to spark with life as he stared in wonder at the deep blue sky, he had trouble holding back his emotions. 

"You okay?" Mike asked, just seeing Levi standing there, looking at the sky and sun. 

"I-I never thought I'd see it" Levi said, his voice trembling. 

"See what?" Mike asked, confused and forgetting about how different Levi and his life was. 

"The sky" Levi replied in awe. 

And finally Mike felt his non beating heart soften for the criminal. 

"Beutiful isn't it?" Mike said with a small sad smile. 

"Y-Yes" Levi choked out. 

He was breathing gulps of fresh air into his lungs, like he was a starving man. 

Everything so bright. 

Everything so clean. 

Everything so fresh.

Yes... 

Always. 

For the first time in his life Levi felt his chains brake and finally, for the first time he felt...free. 

And he knew he'd fight with everything he had to never be chained by anything again.
