Here we go every one! Act II! Woot woot!
So how will Jinx worm her way out of this one? Will she even be able to do so? Find out now.
Everything was dark... Black. Jinx found herself falling through an abyss of unsettling nothingness. 'Am I dead' she thought.
As she drifted through the vast empty blackness she saw what looked like fire. She then felt the falling sensation she was feeling increase ten fold. Unable to slow her decent in any way she clamped her eyes shut as she saw concrete. Jinx then she felt the sickening thud of her body hit the ground.
She opened her eyes and found her self on the concrete floor of a jail cell. Her head spinning, and ears ringing she slowly came to terms with reality.
"Oh yeah," she said remembering last night how, and how sheriff Caitlyn had showed up and electrocuted her into unconsciousness with her own weapon. Jinx chuckled; regardless of how much she disliked Caitlyn; she had to admire the gall of her actions. It added insult to Jinx's literal injuries, something Jinx enjoyed doing her self.
Jinx pushed herself up into a sitting position and grabbed her side wincing in pain. She was surprised to find it was actually wrapped up. She then noticed that her clothing had been changed. She wore a white tank top stopping under her breasts although she still sat in her own torn shorts. Her bullet pendant necklace remained to her surprise. She clutched it thinking back to when Vi had left.
Just then person on the other side of the bars spoke, "Of all the things to find on your person that was the last thing I expected to find." When Jinx looked up to see Piltovers enforcer sitting against the wall outside the bars of the cell she sighed.
"I guess this is yours then?" Jinx asked referring to the top she now wore. " It was all I had that would fit your scrawny ass." Vi said. Jinx chuckled. "I was the only one willing to tend to you. You're lucky the damage you caused us wasn't severe, cause I ain't no doctor," Vi explained.
"I don't need your pity." Jinx hissed.
"But you did need help," Vi shot back.
Jinx then looked back to the bullet that rest around her neck. "I guess that means you think that I've hated your guts for all these years," Jinx said solemnly. Vi looked at her sister who sat in the cell in front of her. "Why didn't you come with me?" She asked.
"What?" Jinx said.
"All those years ago when we were invited to live with Caitlyn's family. You were offered the same invitation. We could've lived normal lives. Without struggling every day." Vi questioned her sister.
Jinx didn't respond but clutched the her necklace defensively. It remained that way for a few more seconds before Jinx spoke, "do you remember the promise we made nine years ago?" She asked.
Vi sighed. "I see... That's why. Us against the world right?" "That's right... 'Until the end' I believe you said as well." Jinx reminded her. Vi sighed again bringing a hand to her head. "It crushed me inside Violet." Jinx said her voice breaking.
Vi's eyes widened, did Jinx really just say her name? Furthermore she sounded upset?
Vi dropped her hand to see, Jinx the maniacal most wanted felon in Piltover melt away back into the helpless girl she knew nine years ago.
"To think that you picked them over me... I couldn't cope with it. I hated you, but I also missed my sister," now crying uncontrollably Jinx continued, "As it went on I grew more and more lonely then, he found me."
All of this was new to Vi she'd never known what'd become of her sister the night she ran off. To think that someone else had an influence on Jinx in some way gave her hope for Jinx's mental. Perhaps her sister was still somewhere inside.
Vi listened intently as Jinx continued, "he was the one to give me my weapons he told me there names. He gave me a new name and told me the it was my destiny to spread disaster and bad fortune to all who hurt me. And I believed him, that's the worst part. Hell! I even started hearing the godamn guns talking to me. Violet, I-I,"
Before Jinx could finish she heard the cells bars slide open before being enveloped in her sisters warm embrace Jinx's eyes went wide as she suddenly fell silent. She didn't know how to react; it'd been almost a decade since she felt her sisters embrace.
When Jinx finally remembered how to do so she returned the embrace her sister provided gratefully, squeezing hard never wanting to let go. She then buried her face in Vi's shoulder. "I was blinded by jealousy for a long time. I was a fool, I'm sorry." Jinx said.
They both sat there on there knees after they separated. Jinx continued, "I need to speak with Hat la-, sheriff Caitlyn it's important. Vi's brow furrowed in confusion. Why was Jinx being respectful? "I'll see what I can do," Vi said standing and exiting the cell locking it behind her. "I'll be back if she grants your request." Vi said turning to leave.
"If she says no, tell her it's about C." Jinx said ominously.
Vi stopped dead in her tracks. Did Jinx really just say what she thought she heard? Vi then immediately quickened her pace leaving to find Caitlyn.
"Absolutely not Violet! I'll not be conversing with that beast today! Her questioning isn't until tomorrow! And if not for her, we'd be on vacation right now! I'm not inclined to submit to her of all people's wishes anyhow!" Caitlyn shouted to Vi.
"Caitlyn please! I know we're both irritable after last night's events but I think you may want to consider it. She's not acting like herself."
"And why the hell should I care?! And furthermore how would you know how that maniac acts normally." Caitlyn questioned sitting down at her desk and beginning to writing on a clipboard.
Vi then sighed. "Alright I suppose I should've already mentioned this but, Jinx is... My, sister..." She confessed.
Caitlyn stood silently for a moment.
"And why didn't you mention that sooner? Either way, that doesn't change what she's done, if anything else she outright doesn't deserve it, I'm sorry Violet." Caitlyn finished with a sigh.
Vi sighed one last time, "It's about him." Vi stated.
Caitlyn's eyes widened as they looked at Vi, her pen slipping from her grasp. She then angrily slammed her fist on the desk bringing her forehead to rest in her other hand. "Dammit!" She spat, "she's obviously got some kind of plan."
"What do you want to do cupcake?" Vi asked her.
"We'll play along, for now and see what kind of information we can get out of her." Caitlyn said, "I guess she'll get her little chat after all," Caitlyn sighed.
Vi nodded and turned to leave. "I'm sorry for not trusting you." Vi said opening the door and leaving.
As she walked back down the halls on the way back to get Jinx she thought about what might ensue on account of Jinx's state of mind.
As she passed through the office she ended up bumping into Jayce. Vi almost fell if not for Jayce catching her wrist and pulling her back to her feet.
"Dammit, sorry Jayce, my head was somewhere else." Vi apologized. "That's alright. Where you off to Vi?" Jayce asked. "Early interrogation for Jinx she's evidently got valuable Intel in regards to a big Case. Or at least that's what she claims."
Jayce grunted in disbelief, "Hmph! I wouldn't trust to much of what comes out of her mouth," Jayce replied crossing his arms, " any way aside from that, how are your burns?" He asked concerned.
"A lot better now thanks again." Vi said gratefully.
"Anytime, so I have to go file the incident report on last night, so you be careful. Don't over exert yourself," he said as he began of in the direction she'd come. Vi waved as he went.
Jayce continued off toward Caitlyn's office. When he arrived and knocked. Once he heard Caitlyn call for him to come in he turned the door knob and entered.
"Sheriff? I've got the reports from last night for you to sign off on." He stated waving the papers. "Thank you Jayce just set them over there please," Caitlyn said heaving and exasperated sigh.
"Are you alright Cait? You look stressed." Jayce said setting the folder of documents down on the self Caitlyn had indicated.
"Oh I look stressed really?! Not like the number one most wanted nuisance in Piltover just ruined my vacation or attacked my city or anything like that!" She stated sarcastically.
"Sorry didn't mean to upset you Cait. I just worry is all," Jayce said concerned.
When Caitlyn didn't respond Jayce sighed and took it as his que to leave. He sighed and did so. When Caitlyn heard him shut the door she stood from her desk and walked over to where he'd left the papers, pick up the folder and opened it to read through the reports. She then noticed something odd about everything right up to the location they'd captured Jinx the previous night. She then closed the folder and exited the room.
I was gunna make this longer but I feel like this is a better stopping point then what I'd originally intended. Any way hope you enjoyed and I'll probably be updating this one for awhile over Remnants Royalty cause I'm just inna jinxy kinda mood!:D
