Caitlyn let out a long sigh, the guards that checked her documents ignored her. This was the third prison she had to inspect today and even though everyone knew who she was the check-in at the entrance was a standard procedure she had to endure. The guards examined the papers, spared her a glance and stamped her identification card.
"We are ready Miss Caitlyn, George will show you around, please wear the id at all times for your entire visit"
The Sheriff smiled and used a pin to attach the card on her dress. George, a tall muscular man with wrinkled uniform unlocked the door and started leading her towards the cells. Caitlyn stared at the hateful eyes of the prisoners with a neutral expression. It was expected, she was the Sheriff of Piltover after all and having arrested most of the lowlives littering the cells herself and condemning them into a life in prison wasn't helping her case at all. Most of them went out of their way to spit at her feet and try to grab her with their greedy fingers, pressing their faces between the iron bars and showing her their teeth. Caitlyn stayed out of their reach in the middle of the corridor and George proceeded to hit a few hands with his police baton to make them calm down.
Caitlyn's eyes traveled between the cells and she absurdly froze. There was an occupant that wasn't participating in the general mayhem, but was calmly reading a magazine with a naked woman on the cover. The prisoner was definitely female judging by her build but the magazine obscured her entire face. Caitlyn eyed the magazine perplexed, the girl on the cover was somewhat familiar, it showed a dark haired beauty with ample breasts looking seductively at the camera, her fluffy white tails loosely wrapped around her voluptuous body like a tattered bed sheet hiding some of the tantalizing flesh laying underneath . Wait, she knew that girl. The title confirmed her suspicions: "Busty league babes, all you ever wanted to know about Ahri " She read.
"Sheriff is everything ok?"
George was looking at her confused
"Yes , let's continue"
She smiled apologetically before following him further down the corridor. George proceeded to show her the facilities taking her through the control room, the warden's office and the guards' locker room. By the time she was almost ready to go it was afternoon and the prisoners were finishing their food at the Mess Hall. She watched them grabbing metal trays and then waiting in line to be served, there were guards at the corners of the room keeping an eye on them as they ate their food at the long metal tables. Most of them were eating in silence watching a league match on the TV screen 2 meters above the floor, some of them were talking with their fellow gang members and almost everyone shot her angry glares. Caitlyn was really happy that she was standing at the small platform in the same level as the TV screen out of reach from all of those murderous psychopaths and drug cartel ringleaders, especialy now since she had left her rifle at the check-in for safekeeping regulations be damned.
On the screen Ahri was chasing down Heimerdinger. The yordle was running as fast as his small feet could allow him but the fox was gaining ground on him. She blew a heart at him but the scientist flashed away, Ahri gritted her teeth in frustration and threw her Orb of Deception at him. The projectile hit him in the back of the head making him lose his balance and he stumbled away narrowly missing the orb's return that almost decapitated him. In an act of desperation he threw a grenade at her. The hextech device exploded just inches from her face and Ahri screamed in pain trying to crawl away blinded by the intensity of the projectile. More explosions followed and she grabbed her neck coughing as she tried to breath , her eyes filled with tears.
Heimerdinger had retreated back to his tower but Ahri was unable to follow him, she felt her heartbeat slowing down, everything was blurry. The colors were slipping away her vision turning grey. She tried to crawl again but she felt her hand coming into contact with something soft and furry. She narrowed her eyes in confusion, there was nothing there, but suddenly she could see a pair of boots just infront of her face. she looked up to see Teemo smiling at her slowly unsheathing his hunting knife. Caitlyn averted her eyes as Ahri screamed in agony. The prisoners cheered.
She pitied Ahri, encountering Teemo in a match was nothing sort of torture, it was almost as painful as trying to ambush an enemy Nidalee. A bright color drew her attention back to one of the tables below. There on the table next to the door, sitting far away from the other prisoners was a lone woman eating alone. Brilliant pink bangs hanged from her head in front of her eyes, half of her scalp was shaved and she could make out pierced ears and a tattooed neck. Unlike the other prisoners she wasn't paying attention to the match and Ahri's heartwrenching screams, she ate her food slowly her eyes never leaving the Sheriff's. Caitlyn started feeling uncomfortable, she knew that woman, she was the one person she regretted arresting. Vi, an orphan turned criminal raised in the streets of Piltover. She didn't know why she was sitting alone or what her real name was but she knew she had made a name for herself stealing hextech machinery. She had been adopted by a gang at some point her genius mind making their success rate sky-rocket in a few measly months, the group had made a fortune until a heist had gone wrong.
Trying to escape after robbing a mine the gang had blown up the mineshafts trapping dozens of mineworkers inside the collapsing tunnels. Knowing that the air would run out before help managed to arrived Vi had modified a damaged excavation robot and used its hands as gauntlets to punch through the rubble and save the citizens. By the time she had cleaned up the entrance and escorted the miners to safety the police had arrived and she was arrested. The miners had testified that she had saved them but millions of gold coins in untraceable uncut gems had been stolen and the company wanted someone to take the fall. Vi was the only available scapegoat at the time and she had been sentenced in a maximum security prison for 5 years for robbery, property damage and assisting a criminal organization. From what Caitlyn could remember that must have been a year ago. Vi nodded spotting her gaze and then continued eating. Caitlyn ignored her, yes she had tried to right her wrongs but that was irrelevant she was still a criminal in her eyes. It was a pity really she hadn't chosen to take this path but her innocence had disappeared after the first heist.
She was still fuming when the fire alarm started ringing. Everyone paused as cold water started raining down on them from the rusty sprinklers disturbing the prisoner's meal. Red lights started spinning around at the ceiling and the TV let out a few sparks before dying with a small crackle. The room was engulfed in silence apart from the monotonous sound of the siren and then there was chaos.
Hello I was trying to write a dramatic Leblanc story and then I remembered this story that I had written two years ago, it is about Caitlyn and Vi and a prison riot with supernatural elements . I came up with it at the time after watching a lot of Gotham and Constantine and I wanted to try my hand on a somewhat dark noir style . I didn't want to post it since it is incomplete and I already have an unfinished story weighting down on my conscience but I like some of the ideas in this one and I thought that maybe someone else might want to use the setting and write a great story or even finish it and letting it collect dust until it gets deleted by some mistake is kind of sad. I have at least 12 more chapters written (the folder says 14 but 13 is missing I will see if I can find it ) and I am in the process of checking them and correcting typos and staff , that was one of my first League stories I am not even using capital letters in most of it . After that the story will probably be abandoned, sorry I can't even remember where the plot was going other than it included Morganna but it should be enought to get some ideas.I am almost sure most of my in at on and so on prepositions are incorect but still not 100% .
Fun fact this was my first series, I started writing "Of hunters and scouts " to take a break from this one . Feel free to use the plot .
