LEVI

.

"Are you sure that you don't want to stay here for a while?" I asked as I watched Madeline stuff her clothes into her bag. She had already changed into some clean clothes earlier and was getting ready to leave.

"I'm sure Levi." She answered, pushing a strand of her hair backwards. "There's nothing left for me to do here anyways. I've given you what I came for so I think it's time that I left. This is your fight so you don't need me anyways and I don't want to be a burden to you at this point." "But it's late." I pressed.

"And since when has the darkness stopped me?" She inquired. Her hands placed firmly on her hips. "I've asked Damien to escort me to the borders so I'll be fine."

"I know." I conceded. "I'm just worried that something might happen-"

She placed a finger on my lips. "Don't jinx it. You know I actually like this side of you Levi. This caring and concerned side of you. I don't know if I should say this but you've changed so much that if I didn't know you, I probably wouldn't know. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I just like it." She continued packing and I just watched her do so without uttering a single word.

She finished and alerted my attention. "I'm ready to go. Walk me to the door?" She requested and I did as she had asked. When we got to the exit, I saw Damien and a few of his troops already waiting for her.

"Tell Quincy that I've gone but that I would be back later." She held my face with both hands and kissed me but I didn't reciprocate. She joined our foreheads together and stared at me. "You finally have a shot to end this once and for all Levi so don't blow it. I actually went through a lot to get those for you so I really hope you'd use it well. I can't wait to hear the good news but until then, may the goddess be with you." She kissed my cheeks and after waving me goodbye, she was escorted by Damien and in no time, they were already gone.

As soon as she left, I bolted the door and made my way back to my room. I sat down at the edge of the bed as I stared at the bottle in my hands, the bottle that Madeline had given to me before she left for home. Apparently, she decided that it was best to stay away from me while I make up my mind about what to do with the substance and how to tackle the issue that had been presented to me but I am at crossroads. My mind and my entire being are both willing to do this but my heart is speaking an entirely different language.

I was known to be someone who always followed his decision to the very last. When I decide on something, it's either I do it or I don't. I have never been in a situation where I found my decision to be complicated or difficult to choose from. It has never happened before so why now? Why is this happening to me?

The more I tried to understand, the more confusing it gets. Back there in the kitchen when I took her, I did it because I wanted to understand the extent of these foreign feelings. I wanted to know how deeply they ran or if I can walk around them but the more I tried to stop touching her, the more I tried to stop feeling them, the more her moans filtered through my ears, and made it impossible for me to breathe or see myself clearly.

Madeline had pointed that that I might be falling for her but I knew that I was not. There was no way I would be falling for Amery. I hated her, I loathed her and I wanted her dead or did I?

I held the bottle tightly in my hands as I thought of what to do. Unable to come up with any decision, I hid the bottle in my drawer and made my way outside the house to get some air while weighing my thoughts on the matter. If I should do this, I would be avenging Asher, my brothers and I would be reunited again and we would finally have a shot at leaving this place for home.

But if I didn't end this, Amery would be fine and things between us would probably go smoothly but what if I didn't want that? Is this some kind of test? Why should I be tested in this cruel manner?

No! I would have to kill her. The sooner she dies, the better for all of us. The fact that she was still alive kept on complicating things and it would never end until she's stopped for good. She has to die and that's final.

I made my way back into the house and just as I am about to take the path to my bedroom, Amery and i bumped into each other. Her lips twitched and they curled up in anger. She walked past me to the kitchen and came back later with a bottle of water. Without saying anything to me, she made her way into Asher's room and shut the door.

Part of me wanted to chase after her and the other part of me wanted to ignore. I listened to the first and made my way into my brother's room. I don't know why I'm here but I can't seem to turn back either. It was as if my legs were programmed to move on their

own.

I walked inside and silently shut the door behind me.

"Is this supposed to be you trying to sneak in on me?" She threw the duvet off her face and sighed deeply. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend doing what boyfriend and girlfriends do? She seemed like she wouldn't let you out of her sight." "Do I smell jealousy?"

She darted her eyes towards my direction. I could tell that she was upset but the lighting in the room was too dimly lit so I couldn't make out her facial features properly. "I'm not jealous. We had a deal so why should I be? It was a fake relationship after all." I heard the anger in her voice as she spoke.

"Oh, so that's why you decided to seduce me tonight?" I asked.

"Just what are you doing here Levi?" She countered. "Shouldn't you be with her right now?" She grumbled incoherent words that I couldn't understand.

"Madeline is gone." I said conversionally. "She um...she left not too long ago."

"And what does that have to do with you being here? Last time I checked, you decided to treat me like a stranger. You ignored me and acted as if I don't exist so why are you here now?"

I shrugged "I just came to see if you're okay."

She threw the blanket off her body and rose to her feet. She walked up to me and stood a few inches away. "You came to see if I'm okay? What gave you the idea that I wouldn't be okay? What is it? Are you planning to do something to me?" She asked and I suddenly became alarmed. The substance that Madeline gave to me, flashed before my very eyes and I felt myself stir from within.

"You left me there Levi." She blurted and I could hear the hurt in her voice as she spoke. "Y-You...you left me alone and you just acted like I was some sort of paper that you forgot to throw away. Do you have any idea about how it made me feel as a person?" She referred to the incident that had happened in the kitchen earlier tonight.

"I know that you said we shouldn't get attached but you have no right to do what you did back there and now you're here to check on me simply because your girlfriend is gone." She ranted. "Would you have come here to see me if she was still here?"

"I would have." I admitted, shocking myself. She went mute as if I had shocked her. "I would have because I know that I was wrong to do something like that to you. I'm not supposed to do that to you but then, I couldn't. And I'm not going to apologize for doing what I did back there Amery." I took a step closer to her. "I'm going to apologize for not finishing what I started."

She sniveled. "W-What are you t-trying to say?"

I placed her hands around my neck and drew her closer to me. "I'm sorry if I left you cold Amery. I'm sorry if I left you craving for more. I'm sorry if I couldn't give myself to you back there. I'm sorry that I acted like a jerk these past two days."

She looked away but I used my index finger to tilt her face upwards to meet mine. "Madeline is gone so what do you want to do?"

"But Quincy is-"

"He won't come here." I interrupted her. "He hasn't come in here ever since Asher left so it's just you and me now. Tell me what you want." I whispered against her ears, causing her to shiver.

She sucked in a deep breath. "You. I want you Levi and nothing else." She confessed blatantly while I looked on, torn between myself.
