Stinging Longing

Chapter 7:

Riven P.O.V

"Why can't I escape from Noxus," Riven thought to herself. "Right when I settled down in Ionia, Talon had to come and reside in my home, bringing back memories." Talon was sleeping in the other room. "Why can't I escape…?" Then she heard a knock on the door.

She opened it, startled, found herself staring at one of her only friends, Irelia. "What do you want, Irelia?"

"Do you have Talon in your home?"

"I thought it was not honorable forfeiting a guest to all, besides on behalf to the elders."

Irelia laughed, "Riven, since when did you follow any of these principles. Besides, I am not gonna remove him from your house. I just want to talk to him."

Talon P.O.V

"Talon…." Talon stirred.

"Talon…." In his sleep, Talon muttered, "God, I even dream about the fiend, why can't Irelia leave me alone?"

And he awoke with a sharp pain in his face. "WTF Riven, why you smack me."

"Oh, but I'm not Riven…"

Talon opened his mouth, "Irelia?" he gasped.

"In the flesh. Now, what did you call me while you were asleep?" Irelia said sweetly.

"I didn't mean it. I swear…. RIVEN, SAVE ME!"

Riven P.O.V

Riven laughed as she was standing out the door. She entered the room and saw Talon in a headlock. "Irelia, I think that's enough. I think Talon got what he deserved."

"Actually, do you know what Talon had done to me over the course of few days?"

"No….."

"He tried to assassinate me, he made me fall in love with him, he stole my virginity, he made me a laughingstock amongst my friends, and he ditched me. I think I have the right to kill him."

"Damn Talon, I didn't know you were that type of man. Well I can imagine you having sex with Irelia, and breaking her heart, but isn't trying to kill her a little too harsh? I'll leave you guys alone." And she closed the door.

She heard Talon screaming, "RIVEN, NOOOOOOOOOO! IRELIA I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!

Irelia P.O.V

She awoke, and looked around wildly. Talon was nowhere to be found. She cursed herself; she should've never let Talon out of his bonds. "Riven, do you know where Talon is?"

"Hi, Irelia," Talon said as he walked in, "I thought you were hungry so I bought you some food."

Irelia held a blade at Talon's throat. "Never leave me again."

Talon sighed as he knocked the blade from Irelia's hand. "I need to leave you when League of Legends opens up again. I don't think we should…" He couldn't finish, for Irelia had kissed him deeply. "We'll cross that bridge when we come across it. Just have fun while in Ionia."

Talon P.O.V

Talon watched as Irelia went into the bathroom. "How did I end up in this situation in the first place?"

Talon walked with Irelia to the city, to meet with her friends in a pub. This was his first time meeting with them and felt a little scared. As they entered the city, people greeted him warmly. "It looked like Ionia already forgave Noxus." Talon entered the bar, sat next to Irelia and Riven, while Karma, Soraka, and Akali sat across from them. Awkwardness enveloped the atmosphere and Talon nervously played around with his blades. Soraka, in attempt to break the silence asked Talon how was Ionia. Talon hesitated before answering, "I haven't been around much, so I really don't know." Defeated, Soraka mumbled something inaudible and Talon rose his eyebrow and smirked. This smirk set Akali off. "Talon, your kind are the ones responsible for most of the chaos in Ionia."

"I really liked how you said my kind and not say our kind, is Riven not Noxian?"

Riven growled, "Talon, I purged myself from all ties with Noxus, so no, I am no longer a Noxian."

"But you still have Noxian blood in you. So, you technically still are a Noxian. A disgrace, yes, but still Noxian."

Akali replied with poison in her voice, "Riven, you showed hospitality to such rude… ungrateful little brat? Why?"

"Akali, I am older than you, so me being a little brat makes me wonder what you are."

Irelia, sensing something bad about to happen, said, "Talon, go please."

"So you chose social acceptance over me huh? I see how I really is now."

"Talon… Just go... Please."

Talon got up and said, "I hope you enjoy your meeting together. And Soraka, please, don't tell her anything. I'll be going now." And he disappeared.

Irelia P.O.V

"Why do I have a feeling he just walked out of my life?"

"You are better off without him," Akali replied.

"I don't know…" Soraka answered, before stopping herself.

Irelia remembered what Talon said to Soraka. "What did Talon tell you not to tell me?"

"I can't tell."

"Soraka…"

"Irelia, if Soraka has a secret, she is not supposed to share it. That is like the whole point."

"Oh shut up Karma."

"I don't feel so well, I'll be going now."

"Bye Riven"

"Hope you get better Riven"

"Nice seeing you out Riven"

"I can heal you, if you want."

"I'll rather not… I don't want you to use your mana."

"That is a pathetic excuse, but if you don't want me too, then I won't"

"OK, see you around…" and Riven collapsed on the floor, breathing rapidly.

"OMG, she's hyperventilating!"

"DO SOMETHING!"

"I'M TRYING!"

And the world turned black…
