DISCLAIMER: I do not own the anime or any of the characters. I only own the plot and my OC.

The storyline for this is quite sensitive and mature, a little too different from my other fluffy fanfictions. But I do hope you'll find this interesting and worthy enough of your time.

Thank you for reading! :)

Chapter One
[A Sinful Love]

Hot tears escaped from her eyes as she stared at the lifeless bodies of her beloved parents on the floor. Their dilated eyes were screaming for rescue, their own blood pooling just under her feet, and the expression on their strained faces held betrayal.

She started to shake uncontrollably. Her breathing reduced to shallow intakes of air as her strength drained out of her. Fear and anguish consumed every part of her whole being. She could hear the loud beating of her heart through the deafening silence, and the darkness around her was giving her a sense of danger for herself.

Run! A part of her screamed out.

But instead of doing that, she remained frozen on her spot, unable to move a muscle due to the trauma of seeing such a dire scene. She wished it was all just a nightmare and she would wake up soon enough in her mother's embrace.

But that was impossible...

Everything is real.

And that sent her desperately screaming for help. Her fragile knees were shaking in fright as her trembling hands tried to find anything useful in the dark---something that could defend her perhaps. The people who killed her parents must've been still inside the manor.

"Alice," a familiar voice called out from behind her.

Hearing that voice somehow relieved her fear the tiniest bit. She turned around then scanned her eyes through the darkness. She saw a figure of a man standing just a few steps away from her.

Her brother...

"Eren!" She immediately ran towards the male, hugging him as tightly as she could as if her life depended on it. "Mom and Dad are.. They are..."

"Hush. Don't cry." His hands traveled to her little sister's back, rubbing it soothingly, trying to comfort the poor girl. "I'm just here. You'll be safe with me."

"Mother and Father... Let's save them." She continued sobbing on his firm chest, her hands gripping tightly onto his brother's bloody clothes.

Wait, bloody?

"They're gone, Alice. They're already in heaven."

Somehow, the tone of his voice sent chills all over her body. Alice abruptly pulled away and stared at her brother's face, confusion in her beautiful teary eyes. Her heart was beating even more faster and louder.

No, it couldn't be.

Her suspicion must had been wrong. Eren would not and could never do such a thing.

"What do you mean?" Her tone held uncertainty, the expression on her face was almost begging for him to deny what she had in mind.

A twisted smirk crept into his handsome face. "You're all mine now, Alice."

She gasped, taking a few steps away. "No... No! You're crazy!"

He crossed the distance between them then held both of her shoulders, fury was written all over his face. The force of his grip made Alice wince in pain, but he didn't seem to notice it. "I love you so much, Alice. I am the one who's been here for you all the time. I know you more than anyone else does. Don't you love me, too?"

He was delirious, and Alice had to contain her whimpers from her brother's steel hold. "You're my brother, Eren. Of course I love you, but not the way you want. What you're saying now is plainly unethical."

"Why?! Because you love Jean more?!" he roared, his voice echoed throughout the corners of their parents' bedchamber.

With all the strength she had left, she managed to push him away. "What are you saying? Jean is our brother, too! We're a family!" Then another set of tears started to form in her eyes. "And yet you.. you..."

She couldn't believe it.

Eren was a loving son and brother. He was always kind, always understanding, always considerate and generous to others, always showing everyone a gentle smile. And that's why she couldn't understand this dark side of him that she was witnessing. She could hardly believe that the man in front of her was still the same older brother who loved and cared for her.

For a millisecond, she saw guilt and pain flashed through his eyes after hearing what she said. But it was immediately replaced with abstruse darkness. "I love our parents too, Alice. But they said that they'll take you away from me. I can't have that. You're meant to be here with me. Always and forever." He inched forward but she only recoiled with horror and disgust. As if on cue, he stopped and reached out a hand to her instead. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you."

She gritted her teeth then slapped his hand away. "You're sick, Eren! Don't touch me! You're disgusting!"

Eren's jaw tensed. What he heard made him lose all the self-control he had managed to perfect for the past years in front of his beloved Alice. Her snide remarks snapped him out of it. He lost his composure as he forcefully yanked her arm and pulled her closer. The next thing he did made her suck into her breath.

He forced his lips on hers, kissing her hungrily like a beast devouring a delicious prey.

She tried pushing him away but to no avail, he had her secured in his strong arms. The way he moved his mouth on hers was painful, she was sure it would bruise her lips. Yet soon after, his rough kisses trailed down to her neck, sucking on her smooth, soft skin. And all Alice could ever do was thrash and scream and cry for help.

His every touch was disgusting.

"For a very long time, I've waited for this. To kiss you.. To touch you.." He smirked darkly against her skin before lifting her up, throwing her onto the bed, and straddling her waist. "To see you writhing underneath me..." And with force, he ripped her dress apart despite her protests. His emerald eyes flooded with intense lust at the view of her now exposed flesh. "To hear you moaning and screaming my name."

Her hands immediately darted to her upper body, covering it. But he only grabbed her arms and pinned them above her head. She let out a sharp scream as Eren lowered his head again and nibbled on that particular sensitive spot on her neck. "No! Please, no! Don't do this, Eren!"

"Why not, Alice? You're mine." He pulled away, enough to make eye contact with her. "And I'll eliminate anyone who gets in the way of our love."

"Our love?!" she bellowed, "I don't love you that way! Never, Eren! After what you did to our parents, I only hate you now! I hate---" She was silenced by her brother's strong slap on her cheek. She whimpered, the pain burned through her skin. Then in a low, shaky voice, she continued, "I hate you so much..."

Upon realizing what he had done, seeing the small wound at the side of her lips, a guilty pang rang out in his chest. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and buried his face just below her collarbone. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you, I'm sorry. I love you very much, Alice. I'd die without you. Please say that you love me, too. Please say that you belong to me," he pleaded in a desperate yet vulnerable tone.

Alice took advantage of his change of actions and pushed him away. She pulled herself up, gathering her torn clothes together to cover up her exposed upper body. "You know I can't do that! YOU ARE MY BROTHER! We have the same blood running through our veins!"

The expression on his face hardened once again, his eyes dark and scary. "It's not my fault! It's not my fucking fault that you're my sister!" Then he pointed a finger at their parents' lifeless bodies on the floor. "It's their fault!"

She turned to him with cold and unforgiving eyes. "How can you say that? How could you? It's not their fault, Eren. It's yours!" She grabbed the night lamp beside her then used it to hit him on the head. "Because you're crazy!"

He let out a pained cry before dropping onto the bed once again, grunting in pain and clutching his bleeding head. She took that opportunity to run away as fast as she could---away from her insane brother.

"Alice, there's no escape!"

***

The phone lines were dead. There was no one in the mansion. She didn't know but it was as though everything was planned. She couldn't call Jean, and the butlers and maids were not there, either. There were cars outside but she didn't know how to drive.

"Where are you, Alice? No matter how far you run, no matter how well you hide, I will always find you."

Eren's voice was getting closer and closer. But she fought her fear as she locked the door, then ran towards the open window and jumped down. She landed on the ground, groaning in pain. She sprained her ankle---but it was no time for that. So dragging her aching leg, she stormed out of the wide metal gate without looking back.

Don't look back. Because if you do, he'll be there following you.

When she reached the busy, crowded streets, she hugged herself to hide away her torn clothings. She earned a lot of odd stares but she couldn't care less. All she had in mind was that she had to get away from Eren.

She needed help, but from who?

Jean was overseas. She didn't have any friends besides Armin whom she didn't even know where to reach. She didn't bring a phone with her---not even a single penny. Nothing. There was nothing else she could do except to run, so she continued running without a specific destination.

She ran and ran and ran...

Until thunders echoed and lightnings flashed the horizon. Soon after, the heavy rain poured and the once busy street became a deserted, damped place.

Which only fueled up Alice's fear even more.

"Young lady, do you need help?" came a male voice behind her.

She turned around and saw a rather fat man in a suit, offering a space for her under his open umbrella. But in her current state, it was hard to trust anybody. So she scrambled away, not noticing the confused look on his face.

She couldn't trust anyone.

Eren was an influential man. At nineteen, he was already considered one of the youngest successful businessman in the whole country. He had a lot of people and a lot of connections. He had ears and eyes everywhere. He was capable of doing anything and was incapable of holding back himself in getting what he wants.

"Alice, there's no escape."

Sobbing miserably, she came to a stop. She entered a narrow alleyway and sat on the ground beside a pile of trashbags, leaning against the concrete pavement while hugging her knees. She was beginning to lose hope. She was freezing, tired, and hurt. Her head was aching and her vision was starting to spin. She didn't know what to do.

If only Jean was there...

No.

If Jean was there, then Eren would kill him, too. He was the only one she had left. She couldn't afford losing Jean, too. She needed to warn him. She needed to talk to him.

But how?

She had to find a way.

"Did you see her?"

She gasped then covered her mouth with one hand. She heard series of footsteps getting closer to her location. She immediately shrank into the ground, hoping that the darkness in there and the pile of garbage around would conceal her figure. She closed her eyes shut, praying that they wouldn't discover her whereabouts.

"No. She's not here."

"Let's go over there."

When their footsteps faded away and after she was sure that they were gone, she breathed out a sigh of relief. She was right. Eren already had men searching for her.

It was dangerous.

She needed to get away from that place. She needed to be strong. Her mother and father didn't die in vain. She would survive. She would save Jean, and she would make Eren pay for his sins.

Determined, she stood up and scanned the surroundings.

Left or right?

She decided to take right and started running once again, careful and mindful of the men searching for her. But she gasped when the loud noise of a honking horn pierced through her eardrums. She turned to her side and was blinded by the massive amount of light emitted by the headlights of the approaching vehicle. Alice wanted to run and save herself, but for some reason her body wouldn't move. She stood there, frozen in the middle of the street.

The driver tried hitting the brakes but it was already too late. A loud thud was heard and Alice's body laid still on the ground, several steps away from her previous spot. Her own blood joining the flow of the rain water towards the sewer.

There was a short pause and there was no witness. The heavy rain seemed to silence what just happened, creating an oblivious environment to the tragic accident.

Then from the vehicle, a man hurriedly came out. His black hair and dark suit were instantly drenched in rain water as he rushed towards the girl he had hit by accident.

"Damn," he cussed before scooting down to check on her.

She was still alive.

Relieved, he gathered her in his arms. He carried her, brought her to his car, and laid her in the backseat. Then he moved around to the driver's seat and got in, slamming the door close.

Levi Ackerman didn't waste a second and hit the road at full speed...
