You have forgotten who you are. You cannot run from yourself, Ahri.

"No, I...I don't want to go back."

Leona stepped cautiously around the trails of blood staining the jungle floor. She did her best to minimize the sound of her armor clanking and her pace steady so she wouldn't startle her. 'She ran off this way' she thought to herself, and carried on with her shield steady.

The sounds of crying echoed withing the large open space Leona saw coming into view. Eerie sobs transitioned into retched growls and the mauling of flesh was apparent within intervals. Leona's fear grew again. She knew it wouldn't be long before her friend turned tails, becoming the monster she had tried to escape from. Every time Leona left her side, her blood thirst skyrocketed after each kill. If the League knew, they would ban her immediately and Leona wouldn't have a chance to free her again.

"Ahri?" Leona called, hoping for an answer. The growls grew louder and another tear of flesh was heard. The Radiant Dawn took a deep breath and with a finger removed the droplets of sweat from her brow. She looked eagerly over the brush that veiled the open space in the heart of the jungle, and sure enough there lie her beloved nine tailed fox.

Ahri tore through the open chest of a man that was cloaked in purple robes strapped to the waist with a golden sash. His face was clawed and hardly recognizable, arms to their sides and his shoulder torn. Leona clamped her eyes shut for a moment while taking a breath. She shook her head from the horrific scene before her trying to take it off her mind. It was too difficult even for her. After countless battles and wars she had never experienced something so gruesome. Unbelief ridiculed her mind; how would a woman so innocent have such malice in her heart? Well she was an animal, and the terrifying kind if countered. Leona moved closer although her mind pulled her back, warning her for her safety. If Ahri wanted to kill her while she was blinded in her past, then so be it. She was prepared and gripped her sword's handle tightly by her side.

The nine tailed fox's ears flicked up from their previous position as Leona stepped closer to her. The Chosen observed every detail of Ahri's appearance once she stood only a few yards in front of her. Her silky kept black hair now was dangling in strands down the front of her face, the splits of her bangs making way to her glowing blue eyes. Every inch of her face screamed hunger and rage in which Leona could only express empathy.

Attack. Do what compels you.

"Ahri..." Leona whispered. She caught the word of her name instantly and hissed at Leona who inched closer. Ahri's ears lowered and her bloodied lips quivered instantly replacing the anger with fear. Leona stopped and listened. She whimpered faintly and drew away from the corpse trembling.

Do what...what...compels...

"Ahri, calm down."

The nine tailed fox turned away and drew her hands to her eyes. Leona took this as an opportunity and ran to Ahri's side dropping her weapons. She knew that Ahri was back and was guilty of what she did. Her amber eyes caught sight of her hands and anguished, she let out a painful scream that startled a few birds up in the trees. Leona took Ahri into her arms and held the crying woman close to her until her screams subsided.

"You do not own me. I will not."
