'Riven!'

No response.

'Riven!'

Still no response.

Sometimes the life of a summoner is hard. Especially during those times when the champion you pick doesn't feel like co-operating. Of course, what makes it worse is the fact that I am expected to play with the champions they give me. And right now, it seems Riven doesn't even want to talk to me.

'Riven!' I screamed in her mind.

'Will you do me a favour and shut up? You're making me lose my concentration!' Her cold voice cuts through my mind sharply. I wince but keep on attacking her.

'You know you could have avoided dying there' I sigh as I watch her make her way to top lane.

'Yes'

'Riven, you need to listen to me' I say.

'Why should I listen to such a prick?'

'So that we can turn this game around!' I say, losing my patience.

I watch her farm the minions on top. Our top lane is missing and I ping out to my team.

'Riven, go to mid lane and help out' I tell her.

She doesn't reply.

'Riven, what is the problem with you today?' I ask her.

'What do you mean?' She says, hesitant about whether to tell me or not.

'What do I mean? You've played horrendously bad and don't even want to talk to me! And you ask what I mean?!'

I see her heading to mid lane. I feel that top is helping take dragon, which leaves mid open for a gank. Positioning her in the bush, I wait for the right moment, when suddenly she starts attacking without my telling her to.

She grabs the kill barely, remaining with 100 hp. As she starts to recall, I feel that she's not safe.

Score of 12-15 with Riven recalling. Riven had 5 kills and 3 deaths, mostly due to my help. She really didn't want to play, it seems.

But I wanted to. I knew she was in immediate danger and I somehow managed to help her evade the incoming ult from Ezreal.

I felt a pulse of energy pass near me, the trees were green, the river trickled its water slowly. I pulled back, breathing hard. I didn't talk to her for a full five minutes, blankly staring at her make her way across the rift. I had...somehow possessed her and made her do what I wanted. I'm not sure how it happened, but I did it. I flexed my hands and scratched my chin.

'Riven?'

'Y..Yes?' Her cocky voice was gone, replaced by a hesitant, slightly terrified voice.

'What...happened?' I ask, slightly cautious of the way she might act.

'I..I don't know' She said.

Neither do I. Neither do I.

I proceeded to carry the game with her, winning my promos to silver 3.

Finally. I was teleported out of the summoner rooms and got off the summoning platform, acknowledged by my ally summoners and given looks of hatred by the opposing summoners. I got out of the rooms, making my way over to the champions. Riven looked at me with a look of fear. The other champions congratulated me.

'That was very well played' Gentleman Cho'gath took off his hat to me.

'Thank you' I nod my head in acknowledgement.

'Good job, Riven' I extended my hand and she shook it. I nodded once more to the other champions and made my way out of the summoning hall.

Back at home, I thought about what had transpired earlier and found no possible explanation for it. I decided to let the matter drop for now. A knock on the door surprised me, as normally not many people come to see me.

I opened the door, and to my surprise, Riven was there.

'Hey' I tell her. She looks exhausted and pale. I am afraid she will collapse in my arms.

'Hey' she says weakly. Her light brown eyes seem unfocused.

'What happened?' I notice she seems to have a fever, as her body is full of sweat.

'I..I don't know' She teeters on the edges of her feet.

'Come inside' I say, planning to make her stay in a bed I had that wasn't being used. I grab her hand which she doesn't push away, and lead her into the house.

I lay her down on a bed, and she doesn't resist, can't resist. She seems weak and fragile, a part of her I have never seen before. I feel her forehead, which is burning to the touch. I rummage through the cupboards, searching for some painkillers; strange capsules which the Institute invented to aid against pain or sickness.

I hear her call me faintly, and I go next to her.

'Hey, I'll pop off and get some painkillers. Hang tight and don't move.'

She tried to smile, blinked and whispered something after me. I reached the door with a smile and left for the shop. You're welcome.
