Chapter Two.
~Disclaimer; I do not have the movie "Maze Runner" with me to help me out with how things are supposed to go, so I'm basically winging this and taking things my way. So... Sorry if you wanted everything to go exactly like the movie. I feel like it would be slightly lame if it went EXACTLY like the movie OR BOOK!~
Song: WAVE - Kazentaicell
I know this song doesn't go well at all with this chapter. But it reminds me of DRAMAtical Murder which makes me happy. ♪( 'θ`)ノ
『Levi's POV』
"Hey, Levi, wake up!" I heard a familiar voice call my name in the background. Ignoring, I kept my eyes closed and not dating to open my eyes. I did not in no way want to wake up, and go to school. Can't stand that shitty high school.
I shifted over onto my side, keeping my eyes closed. I noted that my bed was in no way as comfortable as I remember it being, but I decided to ignore it.
"Levi!" I heard once again, being called by that voice. It was quiet again, but quickly interrupted when I turned around quickly and hit a hard surface. "It's time to wake up."
"What the fuck..." I groaned, picking myself off the ground, finally opening my eyes and looking around with my eyes squinted. But my eyes quickly widened when I saw that I was definitely not in my bedroom, and I also had a feeling I wasn't be woken up to go to school. Being that I wasn't even indoors, I was outdoors, now laying on the grass.
"You need to go collect some sticks for fire." My head snapped in the direction of where the voice was coming from. Standing above me, was Eren, which is who I'm guessing is the one that pushed me out of my extremely uncomfortable 'bed'.
I narrowed my eyes at the taller brunette. "Sounds fun."
He rolled his eyes in response. "Stand up and follow me."
He stuck a hand out, that I noted had very long, slender fingers, with sharp knuckles. I stared at the hand before accepting the help up, and was quickly pulled up onto my feet. "Where are you taking me?"
He only slightly smiled at me, not answering my question. He wiggled his finger in his direction, and began to walk. Sighing, I followed him.
"Can I ask you a question?" I mumbled, walking beside Eren.
He signed, looking forward. "If you must."
"Why can you go beyond the walls, but others can't?" I quickly spat out, not wanting to get interrupted.
He glanced at me from the side. "Simple reason, they can't keep up. You have to be a fast runner for one, and have to learn how to use the 3DMG-"
I cut him off quickly. "I don't care about being fit. What's the real reason?"
"Levi," he started, grabbing my shoulder, stopping our walking, and looking straight at me. "You don't understand. You do not understand how fucking dangerous it is out there. We risk our own lives going out there. The ones who do go beyond the walls, have been here for a very long time, and have had time to learn the ropes and such. Everybody else? They are either too scared, or they're too stupid to even learn how to use the 3DMG. That is why." Eren answered calmly, surprisingly.
I stared at him for a moment, not knowing how to reply.
"Now, how about those sticks?" Eren mumbled, taking a few steps forward, back into the direction we were both walking in a moment ago.
"Oh fuck the sticks." I hissed, grabbing onto his arm. "What if someone isn't too stupid to learn, or too scared? Then can they go out?"
He snorted. "Good luck to them. No body else has a fucking clue what the hell is out there. They've never seen what is out there, and I swear to you, they will shit their pants 10 times in only the first minute of they were to come face to face with a titan."
He said no more, and quickly walked off, leaving me alone, standing and thinking. How are even people to know what is out there, when no one is fucking telling anyone or giving any detail of what these damn Titans are?
"Are you coming or not, Shorty?" I heard Eren call from a distance in front of me.
I jogged up next to him. "You don't have to call me Shorty any more, y'know." I mumbled.
"I know. But it suits you well." He said, sending a small smile towards me.
I felt my hands grip at my shirt when I saw the smile, furrowing my eyebrows at myself in confusion of the weird response my body has over only a simple, goofy looking smile.
"Start over there, in the area with a lot of trees. There's bound to be a lot of sticks over there to collect." He ordered, pointing to a big area with a lot of trees.
I swore under my breathe as he tossed me a bucket and I was on my way to the area. I began to pick up good sized sticks, mumbling negatives things under my breath of how I'm the guy they make run around, while all of them are doing their own things.
I kicked the leaves around, finding more sticks and throwing them into the orange bucket I had in my arms.
It was then when I heard a weird noise come from behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Marco staring at me from about 15 feet away.
"Jesus Marco, you scared the shit outta me. Come help me with these sticks, yeah?" I yelled at him, pointing at the bucket of sticks.
He began to walk slowly towards me, but then it turned into running and I realized he didn't look too happy.
"Whao, Marco?" I asked frantically, backing up.
He sped up, and was full on chasing after me now. I instantly dropped the bucket, and took off in the opposite direction, away from Marco.
"I'm going to kill you!" I heard him yell, picking up his speed and was now right on my heels.
I was instantly thrown to the grassy grounds, and had the raven on top of me, throwing random punches. His hands made their way around my throat, starting to squeeze horribly tight. I began to choke, and I felt my hands grabbing at random things, when something beside me caught my eye. It was a palm sized, thin rock. I reached as far as my hand could go, and as far as my decreasing breathing would let me. Finally, I felt my fingertips brush against the rock and finally got into my grasp, quickly, but clumsy, swinging the rock towards my attackers head. It hit him on the top of his head, and he quickly fell to ground, a feet or two beside me.
While he was down, I gasped and jumped to my feet and took of running towards the fields where everyone else was. Unfortunately, Marco was a lot faster than me, and was right on my ankles.
"Help!" I screamed as loud as I could when I saw people come into my view. I continued to yell, but was quickly shut up when Marco tackled me once again.
He was making strange, and foreign noises and I was quite frankly scared. His eyes were wide opened, and he looked like he was in rage. And looked as if his one goal was to seriously damage me or even kill me.
He got in a few punches, right into my cheek and chin. It could have been more serious if he wasn't quickly thrown off of me by Jean.
"What the fuck Marco?!" Jean yelled, grabbing onto him by Marco's shirt. Jean quickly punched him in face, as if to wake up him.
"Are you okay?" I heard a soothing voice come from beside me. I quickly looked up and saw the familiar green eyes look down at me, worryingly.
"Y-Yeah. I-I just don't know what got into him..." I whispered, catching my breathing.
Eren glanced over at Marco. Marco didn't look as angry, or scary any longer. But it was just then when I saw so much blood covering him. I looked over him, and saw he was leaning into Jean, and saw all the blood was coming from his pants. It was just then when I saw his whole left leg, and up to his lower stomach on the left had been bitten off. It was a mystery of how the hell he ran as fast as he did, and how the hell he didn't even look like he was in pain.
"What the fuck?" I asked, stunned.
Eren sighed, covering his face. "No, no, no, no."
"Eren. We can't." I heard Jean whisper, sound broken.
Eren didn't reply, but I could see his facial expression through his fingers. The both of them looked so upset and possibly on the erg of tears.
"Just get him to a medic or something?!" I yelled, understanding why they were upset about the stage Marco was in, but awfully confused of why they weren't doing anything.
"We can't, Levi." Eren whispered, biting his cheek.
"No, no, please. I'm okay. I'm okay now!" Marco frantically yelled, gripping onto Jean's shirt. "Nothing's going to happ- SHIT!"
He suddenly doubled over, as in if pain, clutching his stomach and where his leg used to be.
"What the fuck?! Do something about it!" I yelled, quickly standing up and running towards Marco, holding him up.
"Levi! Get away from him!" Eren yelled, pulling me away from him. "Jean, get him to the gate, quickly."
Jean nodded slowly, and I could see tears slip from the corners of his eyes.
"Eren! What the hell is wrong with you?! We need to get him help!" I yelled, charging towards Eren, gripping his shirt. "Are you insane?!"
"Levi. You don't understand yet. We can't." Eren replied, holding onto my wrists that were holding tightly to his shirt.
"And why the fuck not?! You have medics!" I yelled again, becoming enraged with Eren.
"Levi! We can't! If we tend to him, he's going to die, if we don't, he's going to die! We don't have time!" Eren yelled back at me, staring into my eyes. He sighed after a moment, looking away from me, and letting go of my wrists. "I'll explain later. We don't have time right now. You can come and watch if you're curious." He muttered, and walked away, making my grip on his shirt loosen until my hands were back to my sides.
I furrowed my eyebrows at Eren's back as he walked away towards the gate of the walk where everyone else was, including Marco.
What did he mean, we didn't have time? What the hell is going on? I mean, sure, Marco's in severe pain. Almost his whole left side of his body is missing. How that happened? I have no fucking idea.
Curiosity hit me, and I found myself walking towards where everyone else was. Once I got there, Marco was laying on the ground, with Jean hovering over, frowning. Everyone was gathered around them, in a circular shape, staring at them.
"Marco how dare you?" Jean spat, I could see tears forming in his eyes once again. "How dare you do this to me?!"
What the fuck did Marco do wrong? I still don't understand how it's so difficult to just get Marco to a medic. Why is there no time?
"J-Jean, I'm sorry. I-I didn't m-mean to." Marco whispered, whole whimpering over the pain. I was surprised he was this aware of what was going on, or even how he's still alive considering how much he was bleeding. How even did this happen?
I stood beside Armin, who looked incredibly sad. He was covering his mouth with the palm of his hand, and his eyes were watering.
"Armin, what's going to happen to him?" I whispered, stepping closer to him.
He looked at me, looking troubled. "I don't want to be here." He said quickly, and ran off, leaving me dumb founded.
I saw Eren standing at the front of the crowd, with his arms crossed and staring at the two boys. I could tell he was only acting tough right now. I knew he was hurting inside, but I didn't know why.
"That's enough, Jean." Eren said sternly.
Jean glared back at Eren. "Jack ass."
"We don't have much time, we need to hurry." Eren said, raising his voice. I could hear his voice crack a bit.
Jean wiped his face with the inside of his elbow, after hugging Marco, and stood up and stood with the crowd. He looked angry, as he stared away from the dying Marco.
It was completely quiet until I heard my name being whisper. "L-Levi." It was Marco.
Everyone looked back at me, and back away, creating a pathway for me to walk through, closer to Marco.
Furrowing my eyebrows, I slowly walked through, as I heard him whispering my name again.
"H-Hey." He whispered, slowly looking up at me.
I walked up to him, crouching down next to him. I noticed a few people whispering, "be careful, he could be dangerous." I was confused, but ignored it.
"Hey, Marco." I said softly, giving a small smile.
"I-I know you're c-confused. B-But do one t-thing?" He whispered.
I nodded furiously. "Of course, Marco. What is it?"
"Kill them." He said with a deep voice, almost angrily.
I looked at confusingly, but nodded. Did he mean the Titans?
"I will." I said, and grabbed his hand tightly, as if promising him.
I was then quickly pulled away from Marco, by the back of my shirt and thrown to the ground.
"The gates will close anymore, we don't have enough time." Someone said loudly.
Marco nodded, tears strolling down his face, as he began to crawl towards the gate.
It was then when reality struck me.
They're forcing Marco outside the wall, even after the gates close. There's Titans out there, won't he be killed? I know he would die anyway, but this sounds so brutal.
I stood back and watched, knowing there's nothing I could do to help. I will stick to my promise and kill the Titans.
Marco clumsily crawled all the way through the gate of the wall, and stared at us.
"We're sorry it has to be this way, Marco. Stay strong." Eren said to him, nodding his head towards the severely injured boy.
It was then when the gates began to close. I could hear Marco began to sob as they closed.
Everyone muttered a "Good luck, Marco." And whatnot.
My eyes widen as I heard him scream loudly in terror, just as the doors shut completely with a loud slamming sound.
Everyone bowed their heads, and walked away from the gate, leaving me standing there, starring at the now closed gate.
I wanted to scream, I wanted to punch everyone in the face for doing such a thing to an innocent boy. But, I kept quiet, trying my fucking best to just understand at least 1% of why they did this.
"Follow me." Eren whispered as he walked past me, heading in a direction nobody else was.
I didn't reply, but followed behind him to a far corner of the wall. There were trees everywhere, with moss hanging from branches.
"See this?" He muttered, pointing to the wall. I looked closer, and saw that there were names carved everywhere. Some of them were crossed out, some were not. I had a good feeling that the names that were crossed out, were now dead.
"This is slightly morbid." I muttered, sighing at the view.
Eren rolled his eyes, handing me a knife. "Carve your name in the wall."
I stared at the knife for a moment before taking it from his hand. I walked closer to the wall and carved a line in the wall, starting the "L."
"It doesn't have to be perfect looking, Mr. Perfectionist." He muttered sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes before elbowing him the shoulder, continuing carving my name.
"I'm going to guess you're going to want to cross out Marco's name, right?" I whispered, finishing off my name.
"Going to have to sooner or later."
"What if he survives, though?" I asked, looking back at Eren.
He looked hard at me for a moment, as if thinking. "He won't, Levi. No one ever has survived a night out there. Marco definitely won't with his wounds."
I clenched my teeth, looking away from the brunette. "Why did you do such a horrible thing like that to him?"
"What do you mean?"
"Leave him out there, for fuck sake."
"Levi." He said sternly, stepping closer to me, forcing me to look up at him. "I had to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just died, but we all would have."
"How the fuck does that happen?" I spat, narrowing my eyes at him.
"He would change over time. You saw him, how he was enraged, trying to get you killed. It would only get worse." He said calmly, no breaking eye contact with me. "If I kept him in these walls just for another 10 minutes, he would have gone ballistic, and kill everyone in his way. I know he was severely injured, but when you get bit, wounds don't matter."
"Bit?" I asked after a moment.
He nodded, sighing. "By a Titan. Even just getting spit on from them can change you completely. Not sure how it happened, but Marco got bit by a Titan."
I was quiet for a moment. How is this even possible?
"What are they? Zombies?" I joked, even though it was definitely not the time for my horrendous jokes.
"Very funny. No, but I would definitely prefer zombies over Titans any day." He said, leaning against a tree, still looking at me.
"Have you seen one?" I asked.
He nodded slowly. "Not up close, but from a distance, yes. Most scariest fucking thing I've laid my eyes on. The one I saw, was taller than the wall, which isn't good news. It makes me think that they could easily climb over the wall, or even break it. I've barely even been able to sleep since that day."
It was then when I noticed the dark, purple bruises under his eyes. He looked as if he hasn't slept a wink in a month straight. I grew slightly concerned.
"What do they look like?" I knew it wasn't the smartest idea for me to have Eren relive that day, but I wanted answered. He promised me answers.
"Like humans, actually. Just really fucking tall humans. They have every thing humans have, except sexual organs. Which makes me wonder, where do they come from? They obviously can't reproduce." He replied, looking confused, shrugging his shoulders.
I bit my cheek, glancing at all of the names carved in the wall. So many of them had a line through them. There was more dead ones than alive ones.
Eren exhaled deeply, grabbing the knife out of my hand and stepping towards the wall. "Might as well get this over with." And put the blade right beside Marco's name.
"No." I said quickly, grabbing his wrists. "Not yet. Not until we're certain. Wait until tomorrow. Please." I begged, looking up in his eyes.
He clenched his teeth, but nodded, moving the knife away from Marco's name. "Sorry." He whispered.
"Eren." I muttered.
"Hm?" He looked at me, questioning.
"I want to go out there." I said determined.
He looked taken back as his eyes widened. "Levi, you know you can't. Even if I let you, it would take forever until you're even ready to go out there. It takes a while to learn how to use the 3DMG and such."
"I don't give a shit. I want to learn, and I want to kill the Titans. I promised Marco."
"Trust me, I want to kill every last one of them, just as much as you do, if not more. But it's so much more difficult than you think. I've been here for three years, and have never been able to kill one."
I quietly groaned, tired of hearing the same lecture over and over.
I heard him sigh again. "If you want to go out there that bad, I'll teach you." He whispered. "But don't tell anyone. I don't want to start drama, even if I am in charge. Got it?"
I quickly looked up at him, nodding my head quickly. "Deal."
He stuck his hand out in my direction, waiting for a hand shake, as if closing the deal. I slapped my hand against his oddly soft hand, and gave it a firm shake.

Holy shit this took forever to finish.
I do apologize for the lateness. But unfortunately, this story is going to be one of those stories that take forever to be updated. My job just recently gave me so much more hours, I'm awfully behind in my school work, and I'm going to an anime convention next weekend, so I've been getting ready for that, WHICH TAKES FOREVER SINCE MY LEVI COSPLAY ISNT 100% FINISHED YET.
But I'll try my best to keep it updated as much as I can.
I know the whole Marco thing was rushed, and I'm sorry about that. It was kind of difficult to approach it in another way, so.
ALSO, this has been a popular topic in the previous chapter; I know the chapter was VERY VERY similar to the movie, but this story isn't going to be 100% like it anymore. I don't want it to be. I mean, it is an SNK version after all. Example, Alby sacrifices himself for Thomas in the movie. I'm not going to have Eren do that.
And I hope everyone is okay that it's not going to be EXACTLY like the movie OR book. I haven't finished the book, so I'm not even sure how it goes exactly. But this is going to go the way I want it to go, so. ouo/
Anyway, hope you enjoyed these Levi and Eren moments. There will be more to come! The Ereri shit will happen soon. ~~~
Love you all.
Next update will hopefully be published next weekend, if not, the next weekend. ;n; I'll be sure to have the chapter extra long if it's late!
