Thresh

You heard the pings far too late in your lane, your eyes darting from the waves of minions approaching you, to the rapidly coming Caitlyn and Leona, over again towards the river, where Rengar was approaching you at a quicker pace than you cared for.

"Shit." You cursed, turning on your heels and running, trying to make it to the tower as fast as you could. Although, with all three of them in your lane, it may not matter. They could easily take you, by yourself, with just your weapon in hand, and no ally in sight. You cursed again.

Before you could even come close to the tower, a read beam of light shot to the ground in front of you. Blinded, you faltered backwards and tried to look, only for it to be gone as soon as it had appeared. In its place, stood the opposing team's top lane, Darius, grinning at you with that evil smirk of his. You turned around to see his teammates closing in on you, the only one not grinning being Caitlyn as she put you in her sights on her gun.

You were surrounded. This would be it for you, until you were summoned back to the platform. You held up your arms to cover your face, not exactly wanting to accept your defeat, but having no other real choice. From what you could see, Leona had begun to raise her sword, ready to cast her ultimate attack on you, when a dark chuckle interrupted everyone's stance.

The people surrounding you froze in fear, looking around them for only a second. You knew, instantly, what was going to happen. You heard another dark chuckle surround you as the place became covered in a fog of war. Nocturn! You grinned, turning and beginning to run. You turned sharply when you heard Darius growl loudly, racing at you with his ax in the air.

"…Shit!" You exclaimed.

"Here!" A green lantern shot out at you. As the ax was about to come down, you lept at the lantern, getting pulled just out of the Executioner's reach. You were sure his roar could be heard across the field.

You panted slightly in the arms of someone who you were glad to see… Again.

"Thresh! You were just in time…"

"Perhaps you should remain out of harm's way." He chuckled darkly, to which you grumbled slightly. "I may not always be there to… pull you out." He said, pulling you closer to him with a smirk. You chuckled.

"What, would you really leave me to the wolves?" You mused, tapping him on the nose before struggling out of his arms. He shook his head, not amused by the touching of his mask, and less so that you had escaped his grasp. "Besides," you threw over your shoulder as you began to walk back to the base, "I wouldn't get anywhere just staying under that crumbling old tower." He followed in suit rolling his eyes.

"You were supposed to wait for me." His voice echoed with the many souls he had collected over the years, sounding eerie, and yet comforting. You looked over your shoulder at the Chain Warden and grinned.

"I'm sorry." You said with a shrug. He sighed, shaking his head with a grin. You opened your mouth to say something else when an ax appeared from the brush next to you. Your eyes widened, and Thresh reached out to grab you. His fingers grazed yours as you were pulled into the brush. With a grunt, you looked up as an angered face looked down at you.

"…Gotcha." He said, his anger turning into a grin. You kicked off of him as hard as you could, turning and running. He raised his ax to you, only to be caught by a chain. Flustered by his foiled plan, he turned to see Thresh, pulling him.

"Not this time." Thresh said. Darius grunted before cutting at the chain and turning back to you. You hadn't made it far. He got ready, then flashed at you, ending up almost directly behind you. You gasped, looking over your shoulder just in time to see Darius' hand extend out to slap you into the wall. Your back hit the dirt and you groaned, falling to your knees. A lantern shot out at you. Once again, you grabbed it, being pulled out of the situation. Thresh held onto you tightly.

Darius groaned, giving chase, gaining on the both of you.

"We wont make it!" You said, trying to ping for an assist with little to no response.

"We will." Thresh turned and threw his hand into the air, his ultimate appearing as a pentagon rose from the ground, shadowy and ghost-like as it surrounded you two. "Keep going." He motioned, following right behind you. Darius ran into one of the walls and groaned yet again, deciding to use his ghost at this moment. He speed began to increase. Thresh, with a grumble, picked you up by your waist and held you to him.

"Wha—" You began to protest, but he silenced you.

"Relax…" He said seductively, yet calmly. You blink up at him as he swings a chain around. He launches out into the mid lane, just as Darius was about to reach you, and hooked onto a minion. He smirked, pulling at the chain. The two of you dashed out of harm and under your tower to safety, much to Darius' dismay. In retaliation, the Executioner began to angrily slash at minions.

You let out a sigh of relief as Thresh set you down gently. "Thresh…" You said quietly. He stiffened slightly, his hand lingering at your waist.

"Yes?" He mused, looking over at you.

"Thank you." You smiled up at him, and he responded with a similar look. You realized then, that his arm was still around you, and your hand was still decorating his shoulder. You blushed gently before pulling away.

"I better go and get my next item…" You said, turning on your heels to conceal the blush that was rapidly growing on your face.
