Chapter Five

Unity

"You know it would make this experience much better if you would quit sulking and talk to me." Alec says harshly.

"It would make this experience better if you were nice to me!" I snap back.

"Whoa kid calm down. It's not my fault your boyfriend left you." My eyes fly open.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" I shout angry tears forming in my eyes. "And he didn't leave me." My voice becomes a bit quieter.

"Kid I'm sorry but Ragnor left on his own-"

"I persuaded him to leave." I blurt and finally make eye contact with Alec. "I knew he would be safer if he left."

"You're the first person I've ever seen Ragnor show affection to. Other than Cat of course. I think seeing you grow up changed him." Alec speaks gently.

"Ragnor's a smart man Unity. He won't let those detectives crack him like you did."

"What do you mean?" I ask quietly.

"He let you into his heart, but you locked him out of yours." My eyes widen. Could I have been hurting Ragnor this whole time?

"I don't love him that way." A tear falls from my eye. "I can't love him that way."

"Yea sure keep telling yourself that kid. I'll go ahead and tell you it doesn't get you anywhere." My hand ball up into fists. Normal Alec is back.

"It's only fair you tell me how you died after all that!" I snap and Alec smiles.

"You really want to know?" He asks with a smirk.

"Yes! I really do want to know! In detail please!" We share a quick smile.

"I see why Ragnor loves you."

"Shut up!"

"Fine I'll tell you." Alec says with a smile.

"I'm listening." I turn so I'm facing Alec's bed.

"Well I went out demon hunting with my usual group plus one. Clary had been pushing to go out hunting with us, so I finally allowed it." He takes a deep breath before continuing.

"It was raining and we quickly became tired. Jace and I definitely started to slack a bit, letting the girls take over for a bit." His blue eyes close, probably due to tears.

"I looked towards the demon and noticed it's tail was flying towards Clary. It would've crushed Jace if I let her die. So I decided to throw her back, putting me in her place. Magnus tried to draw the poison out, but he was to late." Alec pauses to take another deep breath. "There's your story happy kiddo? If not I don't care I'm going to sleep."

Erwin

"Ready?" Levi asks as we hold a stack of folders. The forced recruits, they'll be here in two weeks.

"Let's see them." I say and we open the first folder.

A picture of a boy with long blue hair and almost yellow eyes is the first thing we see.

"Isn't that the kid Koujaku screws around with?" Levi asks and I shrug.

"Might be."

Name: Aoba Seragaki
Age: 20
Parabatai: N/a
Height: 6'1
Weapon of choice: Will use about anything.
Notes: I have nerves that run all the way through my hair hence why it's so long. Please don't make me cut it. Also I have an Allmate, a computerized pet they're more of a mundane thing, named Rin he'll live at my group house at the base. Hopefully that's okay.

"He sounds nice." I say gently.

"I don't like him." Levi mumbles.

"Why because he's taller than you?" I joke causing Levi to frown.

We flip through person after person then one stands out.

A picture of a male with blonde hair, green eyes, and very obvious eyebrows is shown.

"Look Erwin you won't be the only one called eyebrows now." Levi jokes and all I can do is sigh.

"An eye for an eye Corporal." I mutter.

"Indeed Commander." Levi's blue-gray eyes look up into my blue. I lean down a press a gentle kiss on his lips which he returns.

Name: Arthur Kirkland
Age: Unknown I stopped aging around the age of 22
Parabatai: N/a
Height: 5'9
Weapon of choice: My hands
Notes: I'm sure you're confused about my weapon of choice. If you haven't caught on yet I'll spell it out for you. I'm a warlock. Looks like the Clave wasn't happy with only one. I'm very skilled in my attack/defense magic, but my healing isn't to shabby either. I'll be happy to let you use me in anyway you'd like. One request I'd like to make is to keep me with Alfred Jones. He works better with me by his side.

"A warlock?!" I blurt but Levi stays silent.

"What are we going to tell James?" He whispers.

"James will be fine with Arthur. It'll probably be good for him to bond with another of his kind." I comfort.

"Whatever let's keep looking." Levi snaps.

When the next folder gets opened my heart stops.

A picture of my red headed baby brother is staring back at me.

Name: Ayato Smith
Age: 18
Parabatai: N/a
Height: 5'7
Notes: N/a

"No." Is all I can bring myself to say.

"Erwin calm down it'll be o-" Levi starts but in quick to interrupt him.

"They can't do this!" I shout. "Not to my Ayato! No!"

Before Levi can stop me I'm sprinting towards the stables to get my horse. My final destination, The Accords Hall.
