A love between a human and a monster

17.

Third Person and Lillith's POV

"Kitten wake up. The sun goes down again." "Huh? How long did I sleep?" "A whole day. You really were tired." "Hmm" "I got you something to eat and here you have a little amount of blood from a deer." "Thanks Burned Chicken." We ate something. Lillith: "Should we move on?" "It would be a good idea." I took out my wolf ears. "Toya no it wouldn't. I hear them." "What?" "Shhh. Let's move silently. Maybe they go away." "But then they wait for us." Lillith (in Toya's mind): "Let's talk through your mind. You're too noisy." Toya: (In his mind): "I'm sorry kitten." "Wait for me, Toya. I'm going to check ." "You're not going alone kitten. I'm coming with you." "Toya no. Remember I can make myself invisible." "I'll watch you from the branches." "Alright Toya." 'So where are they now?' I searched for them. Erwin: "Let's rest here for the night. Tomorrow are we going to find them and get them back home." 'Found them' I waited until they fall asleep. (mind) "What should I do now Toya?" "Maybe find a way to manipulate them. So we can have advantage." "Alright" I climbed off the tree. I turned myself invisible. 'Now I have 5 minutes. It's not much, but I can deal with it.' I paid attention not to step on one. I mean it could end bad for Toya and me. 'maybe I should lure away the horses.' I got some hay. I went up to the horses and lured them with the hay. They followed me. Levi: "Where are the horses?" 'Why is he awake☹' I hid between the horses. Levi: "Oi Erwin wake up." "What is it Levi?" "The horses aren't here anymore." Hanji: "What do you mean? They're standing right he—. Huh where are they?" Levi: "That's what I meant shitty glasses." Erwin: "Let's search them. Be silent. I don't want to wake up the cadets." Hanji and Levi nodded. 'They're coming. I only have one minute left.' I tried to walk out silently. But the horses could still see me. Even if I'm invisible. The first one started to neigh. Erwin: "Something is there." 'Shoot. I need to use my wolf form. They don't know it. Maybe I get away with it' I turned into my wolf form. Hanji: "Awww a wolf. Can I touch it." I growled. Erwin: "Hanji no. Just leave the wolf alone." 'Stupid.' Levi: "Couldn't that be Lillith?" 'Ah shit. Here we go again' Hanji: "What do you mean?" Erwin: "Levi might be right. Isn't she part wolf?" Mike: "Yeah and the fur suits her hair color." 'I gotta get out of here.' I run away in the forest. I heard how they followed me. Lillith (mind): "Toya, where are you?" "I'm above you kitten." "Since when are you so silent?" "Since I was born." "That's not funny. -_-" "I know kitten, I know." "Jump on my back. We are faster that way." "I can't jump down here. I don't really see you." "Then how are you above me?" "I followed the scouts." "Sometimes you are really a dumbass." "Hey! That's rude!" "Go cry about it." "☹" "There's a clearing. I'll wait. Jump directly on me." "Yes, kitten." I ran to the clearing. Levi already waited there for me. 'Sometimes I hate Toya.' I wanted to turn around, but Erwin was behind my back. 'I'm trapped.' I heard rustling from above. Suddenly I saw Toya falling from the trees. He crash-landed beside me. I looked angrily at him and put my paw on my forehead. "Sorry kitten. I never was good at math." Levi: "So it's really you." I turned back in my human form. Lillith: "No shit Sherlock." Toya: "Kitten let's go." Erwin, Levi: "No!" Lillith: "Why not." Erwin: "Because Levi and I need the both of you." Toya: "Tch" Lillith: "Just let us go." Levi: "No" Lillith: "So you decided to talk too." Levi: "Tch" Erwin: "Levi don't" "Sorry Erwin." Toya: "Can we go now." Erwin: "No Toya. Can we both please talk." Toya: "What. No" Lillith: "Toya do it." Toya: "I'm not leaving you alone kitten." "I'm 25 I can manage it by myself." "But kitten Tenko, Toga and I made a promise." "But you declared me as your leader so do what I say." "I promise you Toya. We two are getting out of here today." "I'll trust you kitten." Toya: "About what do you want to talk Erwin?" Erwin: "Come with me and you will find out." Toya: "You better don't do something stupid." Toya followed Erwin. Only Hanji, Mike, Levi and I were left on the clearing. Lillith: "What do you want of me now?" Levi: "I just want to talk with you." "Like we did in the Stohess district?" Levi: "No not like that, I made mistakes okay." I was surprised. Lillith: "You're sorry?" "Yeah I am. Mike, Hanji could you leave us alone?" Mike: "Of course Levi." Hanji: "Don't do something unholy, Levi and L." Levi: "Stop it shitty glasses!!" She just giggled. For a few minutes we stood there in silence. Suddenly Levi sat down on the ground. I just looked at him. Levi: "Please sit down next to me." I walked over to him and sat down opposite him. He leaned towards me and put is arms around me. Yes he hugged me. "I'm sorry Lillith. I know I made mistakes. Please forgive me." "About what are you sorry?" "I'm sorry for everything I've done. I'm sorry for calling you a monster. Sorry for treating you badly the first days you were here and lastly I'm sorry for leaving you there in the alley." "Hmm" "What?" "I don't know what I can answer right now. Nobody ever apologized to me. Only Tenko, Toga and Toya" "I know that feeling." "I never knew you had a soft side like that." "I have not brat." "You do." "Do not." "Do to." Do not." "Do—" Suddenly we heard someone shouting. We turned to the direction where it came from and saw how something burned down. Lillith: "TOYA?!?!?!" I started to run. When I came closer I saw him. He was so much in pain. Lillith: "I'm here Toya. I'm here. Calm down please. Don't hurt yourself even more." I started to cry. "Please stop it Toya!!!!" Then he stopped. "Kitten?" I ran towards him and hugged him. "What happened Toya?" "It was Erwin." "What?" "He wanted to talk about my past and you know I only tell this to people I trust for 100%" "And you don't trust Erwin that much or at least not yet." "Yeah and he put me under pressure to tell it." "That little bastard. I'm gonna kill him. Where is he?" "He ran away." "So he left you here alone?" "Yes" "I swear I'm gonna kill him." "No kitten. Let's move on. I don't want to stay here." "Alright Toya. Let me take you. You can't walk." As soon as I got him to stand I heard Levi coming. Levi: "Lillith. What are you doing?" "Don't you see it. We move on." "But-" "No buts don't you see what Erwin did to Toya? Toya got a panic attack again and do you know what. The last time it happened was 6 years ago when his ex-boyfriend broke-up with him because Toya found out how his ex-boyfriend used him and loved to see him in pain. Before that his father forced him to become stronger then my dad was. He got his scars from his stupid father and his stupid ex. They caused him so much pain. And now it happened again." I still cried. Then Erwin came back with Hanji, Mike and Armin. Erwin: "Please forgive me." Lillith: "Erwin no. Even Toya said you shouldn't do anything stupid and then you needed to put him under pressure? You're so dumb." Toya: "Just get us out of here, kitten." Lillith: "Sure Toya." I turned to them. "Wings come out" Then I grabbed Toya and flew away with him. Lillith: "I'm sorry Toya. I should have flown away immediately and not staying there for talking." "Don't worry kitten. Now let's go search a river or a lake and then put me in there to get the heat down." Said Toya while smirking. "You're sometimes a pervert, do you know that?" "I know kitten. I know." For the rest of the way we were silent. Toya felt asleep. As soon as I saw a lake I flew down. When I was above the lake I let him fall inside. (It was only three meters/10.11inches above) Toya: "Kitten that's not funny." "It is funny." "Just wait till I get you." I landed, let my wings go away and broke out in laugh. He came out off the water, took me and launched me inside. "Now I'm all wet Toya." "Deserves you right." I got out of the water. "What are we going to do now? Our clothes are wet, and we don't have anything here to change." "Just do the same thing what you did with our coats." "I can't" "Why?" "I'm not a wizard who can do everything. I was only capable of getting them because I made them tiny and then again big." "Oh" "That explains why Levi is so short." "What?" "After he left me alone in this alley I might have stolen some inches from him to make him shorter than me. If I didn't do it he would be taller than you." "What really?" "Yes" "You're incredible, kitten." "Thanks, burned chicken." I looked around for a house to find new clothes.
