This is the next chapter! I'm going on holiday on Sunday so I won't be able to update when I'm away :( (for 5 days). I'm bringing the next update forwards to Sunday and details of the next, next update will be then too! Thank you for your reviews and favourites so far! (Next update: 17.08.14)
My eyes widened and sparkled for that moment; he was the only thing in the world that mattered. Bandle City didn't want me.
"No. You can't come with me... I'll hurt you and I don't want that." My heart sank like a lead balloon. The disappointment blinded the fact that he cared about me. I blinked tears away from my eyes in an effort to conceal my disappointment. Veigar lifted my chin to make me look him in the eye.
"Can you get me out of here still?" I nodded profusely. He smiled, shyly, at me. I still felt heart broken inside but I wasn't going to be selfish. Veigar's safety came first.
"This way."
It was midnight once we started to walk out of crash zone. All the street lights were off because of the -now cancelled- cannon show; Veigar and I moved unseen in the backstreets. Many thoughts were pacing around my mind, the main one being how I was going to run away. No amount of magic or lying was going to cover the 'unexplained' disappearance of Veigar. I'd never been further than Glade in my life, how was I to survive in the unknown? Yordles need company, otherwise they become darker and... like Veigar. None of this is going to work out Lulu. I nodded in agreement with myself.
We reached the edge of the Civilians Neighborhood by 1am. Veigar looked drained and weary; he couldn't keep going.
"I know a quiet place close by where you can stay." I stated. He nodded tiredly and yawned.
"I should get some food for you, then you can start travelling at dawn. Um, wait here, I'll be quick." My house, a glorified shack, was across the road from where they stopped. I unlocked the worn lock and pushed the door open.
"Pix, you still there?" My faerie wavered in front of me. He closed his eyes and muttered a few Fae words. Moments later, he started glowing a pretty purple, giving me enough light to see around the room. I walked into the cooking area and grabbed a few cupcakes from my sale earlier. Pix flew over to the other side of the room and picked up a small tea cloth.
"Thanks." I smiled and took the cloth from him. Carefully, I bundled the cake up and then cloaked it in another blanket. I ran through a mental checklist and then decided I was ready. Pix flew outside before me but stopped suddenly and started to mumble.
"What's wrong?" Terror flew across his face. Immediately, I start to panic. I ran outside to find four armed Yordles, all but one carrying torches. The fourth one was holding… Veigar!
"No, let go of him, he's innocent, I…" I was gagged by a fifth, unseen Yordle. I tried to struggle but I was powerless against them.
"Mhhh, mhhhh murrrrr!" A hand instantly covered my mouth.
"Take the traitor away." Teemo ordered. Teemo, how did he find me? The fifth Yordle chained my hands up and gave me a shove towards the others. I stopped struggling and walked where I was told to go. They had Veigar now; Teemo had already told me his plans for him and I knew only too well that all hope was lost. I started to cry and this time, I didn't hold my tears back. Is this the end? Through my tears, I could see the streets starting to fill with the citizens of Bandle City. They had come out to see the 'darkest mage of all time' be captured by the heroic Scouts of the Mothership. Some of their faces looked confused when I walked past. I returned a nervous look back and kept following the Scouts ahead of me.
It took around twenty minutes to reach the Defensive Ward. Once we reached it, I was unchained. A small bottle was shoved into my hand.
"Drink up, traitor." I nodded and knocked it back. Colours started spin around me and my eyes fluttered. My mind was beginning to cloud and I became more woozy by the second. After the longest five seconds of my life, my conscience faded away from me and I lost all contact with the world.
