#muse (levi.)

levi stood over the hunter, eyes shining a bright golden hue as he stared down the target who had just been rendered useless without his prized weapons and wolfsbane there to protect him. this was at his own house too, levi had been playing a long game with alaric. the same man who had slain his mom and dad when he was just thirteen years old, making him a lone wolf all of these years. of course, levi made it his life long mission to just completely piss the man off, now, he deserved what he got. “put your guard down and look at what happens to you,” levi huffed, nudging the man with his barefoot where he had the man bound in a nice couple lengths of chain he found in his barn. levi had shifted back into human not too long ago, so he was still naked but he was hardly worried about that.

“i outsmarted you.” levi breathed out, “how you getting out of this, huh? how you gonna kill me now? give me one good damn reason i shouldn’t kill you.”

“you need to let me the hell out of this place right the hell now!” levi spat out, though it was clear in his voice he was weak and irritable. he hadn’t fed since the last time...which had to have been approximately two days ago, when the man had found him feasting on a human - he hadn’t meant too. levi, since the change which was a short time ago, was trying so hard to fight the urge to feed. but it was hard without any guidance. “i’m hungry.” he complained loudly, whining as he slumped back against a wall. he had barely seen the guy since he took him. 

“we just - we have to hide out a little while longer.” levi breathed out, a hand coming up to rest on elliot’s shoulder, and slowly snake down till he was lacing their fingers together. the two of them were outside of the tower, somehow, miraculously they had escaped together through some sort of chaotic event, the guards lost sight of them and they snuck away. they had to have been hiding in this abandoned little slab home for about a day. “i’m sorry i dragged you into this,” but he saw an opportunity, and he was taking it - along with the one person he loved. vincent was happy in his claim, and levi couldn’t even get to him. he’d want him to go out, he’d want him to escape. “august - he’s...long gone, right? he’s not going to tear off my fucking head is he?” levi needed to keep talking, if only to prevent himself from freaking out anymore than he was. “this was a horrible idea,” he puffed out. “i just can’t be there anymore, elliot. i can’t fucking be thrown aside anymore, used and just thrown aside. ember was the second one to do it.” he glanced out of a crack in the boarded up windows. “we can go back to where vincent and i stayed, grab some things - if it wasn’t all stolen by now.” he murmured to himself, frowning. 

levi wasn’t exactly sure what the hell was going on, the last thing he remembered was that he went out like he usually had in the morning for a jog. every morning at dawn, if weather permitted, that’s what he did. his ears would be plugged up with earbuds, music blaring as he jogged. however this morning he hadn’t made if very far before something struck him across the head hard enough to make everything go black. when he finally came to his head was throbbing, and he wasn’t sure where he was, but he heard footsteps. “w-who’s there?” his voice was rough, his eyes darted around as he looked for the person. he pressed his fingers to the swollen lump on his head and winced in pain.
