Tavern Business
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ3v1fJyMd
Many years later the underground became a place that was more chaotic than when Levi was much younger. Crime was at an all time high, and many people didn't even bother going outside anymore because of it. It seems even above wasn't getting any better either, and though because of it others didn't bother trying to see the future for themselves. The day was long, as it was somewhat humid that day as well, the shine was shining but it felt like it was still dark and corrupted underneath.

The sounds of fighting and arguing was heard in the distance. Sounding like a group of teens, hitting one another with objects, fist fights, and punching against the walls and rocks. They then all ran down the road quickly, afraid of someone as they rushed through the crowd of people next to shops and keeps. "Watch out! Move aside coming through!" A young teen exclaimed angrily as he was holding a bag in his hand. His friends ran behind him, as they rushed and looked back making sure the person wasn't chasing them.

"Where is he!?" One of the guys asked scared and frighten.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlC5gVytQ8K
"Who the hell cares! Don't let him catch us just keep running!" The leader of the group said, his jacket flowing as he was huffing and puffing trying to run as quickly as he pulled making a dash, and turning the corner sharply.

"Ah shit! Look out!" One yelled as he got slam into the ground by the person presuming them. The rest of them all got scared shivers up their spines, as they turned around quickly seeing their friend pounded face first into the ground. They're fears, and the chills they felt when in the presence of him was hard to come by. They all felt their eyes trembling, and they palms sweaty and uneasy stomach that felt within the pit of them. The leader of the group grunted holding the bag closely to himself, as he didn't wish to hand it over.

He then angrily shouted, as he held the bag underneath his arm, and then looked at his friends. "Get this fucking creep already!" He told them, as he felt more fear than the others did. He wasn't going to allow him however to lose the bag he was holding and would use his friends to get away if possible.

Levi had got up quickly his hair longer now, as his eyes was steel with a firm look in them. He didn't bother blinking, as his face gave a deadly expression. His fist balled up with a confident composer as he stare soulless at the guys before him. They all gulped softly seeing him this way, and couldn't understand what they're leader was thinking. His friends then ran as they didn't wish to fight Levi after what they witness. They're leader surprised by their actions as they left him behind so easily.

"Hey you punks! Get back here why are you running!" He yelled at them as they fled.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAY97wB6TuPP
"Why aren't you." Levi said softly but harshly.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeJy47MGaoJ
The teen then grunted as he heard Levi's comment towards him. He then couldn't say anything other than what he had already did. The sweat dripping down from his cheek and his top forehead.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdqBy8ZgyjQ
"Your friends seem to be smarter than you if I do say so myself. You should save yourself the trouble and hand over the bag." Levi told him extending his hand out with a slight nudge of his shoulder.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHonGtLU9rk
The guy then grunted and scuffled up his nose at Levi's cocky and uptight attitude. He was upset that he let a little punk try and make him feel fear. His fist was balled up as he wanted to try and fight Levi and he didn't appreciate his cocky attitude any more than he could take it. His teeth cringing towards himself, and his voice feeling like he couldn't speak any words but allow himself to get overwhelmed softly as his eyes felt like they had their own heartbeats.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUvCRjPraqM
"What's the matter?" Levi said calmly as his eyes still gave that dark tension inside them. He then walked to the guy calmly as his posture was up and his fist still balled as he walked.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAGYr6zzSxf2
The guy step back a step as he felt Levi get closer, and then soon looked around to see if any one was left. He then realized he was all alone with Levi, as the guy grunted again by Levi's calm composer.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAZbSSlPNML6
"I don't have time for this. Give it." Levi demanded once more.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtrILE5a45B
"Fuck you! You fucking punk!" The man exclaimed as he charged at Levi and tried to punch him as Levi dodge with ease as if it was in slow motion. The man glanced over his eyes feeling the movement as Levi had dodge without hesitation. He then saw Levi's eyes as they were narrow and deadly, they had this darkness inside them, as if he felt nothing but wanted blood from his victims. Levi then turned and round house kicked him in his face as the man felt the pressure of Levi's foot collide with his face. His nose then busted spilling the blood within it, as he grunted aloud and within pain feeling the compact of the kick.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAE8fyvkUDoJ
Levi then turned as he felt himself kick the guy, and then took a stance that he was ready for another round. Yet he stood up once more watching the guy fly back to the ground and into some old boxes that laid on the ground as well. He walked over as the man was unconscious and couldn't move nothing not even say or blink. Perhaps, he wasn't even breathing yet Levi didn't bother to care or even check on him in that matter. He scuffled softly as he bent down to grab the bag and took it with ease. He then walked off leaving the guy there, as he thought in his mind.

Sometimes Levi wish he could avoid idiotic beings, and he didn't know why Grim wanted this bag so badly. He would always send Levi out to do things for him, but Levi never complained really. He was still grateful to Grim for what he's done for him all these years, now Levi being 15 years old. He was seen as this strong young man who others feared on the streets, whether than getting picked on beforehand. He didn't know where this strength even came from, he just felt this spark inside him once he started becoming closer to Grim.

Levi had walked down to a local tavern as he opened the door and went inside having the bag on his shoulder and looked around. There was people drinking and speaking causally as Levi looked around confused for a moment. Grim told him he'd be here yet he couldn't see him at all and raised an eyebrow in a slight confusion still. He then saw Grim from the distance as he waved to Levi to come over as he was speaking to a guy as Levi narrowed his eyes down. He then walked over causally as well, his right hand in his pocket as the bag he held was in his left hand.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYTimVH4nSa
Grim smirked seeing Levi approached with the bag as he was satisfied that Levi did another successful run. His friend who had his had tilted forward, his teeth was somewhat missing, and he was chewing on a toothpick looked at Levi with a curious intention. Levi then looked down at Grim as he didn't know what he was suppose to do next, he then crossed his arms standing there as Grim extended his arm out. Levi then uncrossed his and tossed him the bag as he narrowed his eyes confused and upset a little.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAuhfCtq9dGU
"I'm not your little lap dog ya know. What's these errands for anyways?" He asked Grim with a puzzled expression.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAl7vZF9nLYP
"Business Kid, business." He told Levi.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAnJA23rnHmK
Levi then rolled his eyes within his mind, but he continued to looking at Grim unable to know what he was really after. He never knew what was inside the bags he would bring to Grim every day almost. As to why teenagers had them, was something different and he didn't wish to continue to do something and be in trouble for it in the end. He then kept his arms crossed as he then saw Grim give him a sharp eye look. "This is grown folks business why don't ya, wait over there for me." He told Levi.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAq9h6kBFgHM
Levi at first didn't move but then slowly walked away into another room as the bartender looked around making they way around giving drinks. He then scuffled somewhat and then removed himself. Grim then turned around, as his pal Marco watched Levi was away and spoke to Grim as they somewhat whispered. However Levi could hear sharply for even though he wasn't as close as he originally was before. He pretended to lean on the wall looking forward at something else while listening intensely to they're conversation.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7rYHdV1Ear
"Why'd you pick up that kid anyways Hound?" Marco asked Grim.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAz7wBIi8mkJ
"He is the son of my sister I feel like I was somewhat obligated for that deal. But umm— in a way he's a good kid. I've toughen him up." He replied.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAzoPkwOtJRq
Marco then took a small drink and then pulled out a cigarette and lit it and smoked as he spoke.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJL4HcnzETC
"Alright well let's get down to business, if the kid is gonna be with ya, he better be prepared for what comes next. After all, we gotta a business to run, and motherfuckers are back on their rent and payments and we need to take them out. Permanently." He told Grim seriously.
392Please respect copyright.PENANArdXQX8PpHR
Levi eyes widened a little by this altercation that arise as he continued to listen in on the conversation. He couldn't believe that Grim was within some type of dark organization that seem to eliminate people.
392Please respect copyright.PENANA0bNafPxthq
"Yeah, yeah I hear ya Marco alright? But first I gotta get that kid in shape before anything. And he's already in his teens. He's going to be great asset to our little gig." Grim told him with a smirk that came upon his face.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAt7OdpMZvSF
"Besides he's already brought me at least most of the profit in these little baggies and he'll keep bringing them because at the end of the day the kid has nothing better to do." Grim told Marco.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcl6r7P68Tu
Marco was pleased with the responses Grim have him and at first he was hesitant to trust it but soon relaxed. He then slowly got up from the chair as Levi turned his glance around quickly and Grim got up as well. "Good good, nice doing business with ya pal." Marco told him as they hug one another slightly and he started to walk off as Grim turned to see Levi afar as he yelled towards him. "Hey Levi! Let's get outta here." He said directly as he then grab his bags and walked off in the entrance direction.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAW9pkXp3U8S
Levi didn't say anything as he was being directed and soon walked off behind Grim as local people had given them stares that felt uneasy. Stares that was disgusted and unpleasant as if he was feeling more compelled he was doing something wrong in the end. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he didn't like people staring and giving him this look of disapproval. He then manage to walk out the tavern with Grim as Grim then walked the streets as nightfall was about to come down.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtW0AyUr7Bu
"Why do people stare?" Levi asked Grim with his unfazed tone.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAME0tRHuWeN
"Hm? People will always stare kid. Eyes watching you everywhere, so it's best to plunk those eyes out so they got nothing to see." Grim said vaguely and motion his head in a nonchalant way.
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWRpNyt3jYL
Levi narrowed his eyes down more from behind at Grim and didn't like that type of response but nevertheless, he didn't continued any further as he didn't have more to offer or say. Grim then stop and soon turned to see Levi looking down at the ground he then narrowed his eyes in a more serious way as Levi felt this and looked up surprised in somewhat. "Never stare at the ground kid, because you'll never know what's above you." He finished telling Levi. "Rule number 34." He said chuckling and continuing to walk away.

Levi stood there watching Grim walk off as he chuckled and Levi stood there trying to feel something. Anything that could make him understand what all of this meant, was he doing the right thing, or was he needing to feel something he never felt before? It was all new to him, but the rules in which Grim told him seem to always work in his favor, so for now Levi would simply play along, until Grim no longer needed him too. When that day comes, Levi would become Levi Ackerman.
