Enjoy. And please do leave a favorite.


Chapter 7: Blood Siblings

Veitriyx stumbled when he got out of the portal. He tried to observe his surroundings, but it was dark. He would say he is in a vast, empty space, full of nothingness. Time seemed like it would never pass. It felt like he was floating, as if gravity had no effect on this plane, and felt something clawing at his stomach. A voice echoed into his mind. "Use your power..." it had said. "What power?" he tried to think, perhaps as a way to try and communicate with the voice. He got no response. The thing clawing in his stomach began more intense, and more painful. "Ugh. This place is giving me the creeps." he thought. "Use your power.." the voice repeated in his mind."But I don't know what, or how to use my power!" he shouted in agony, as the clawing in his stomach worsened. "Use.. your.. power!" the voice screamed in his mind. It was too much for him to take, he fell down and clutched his head. The sound was driving him crazy. He gave up and screamed at the top of his lungs. White spots danced around his eyes. The room suddenly felt more realistic. He was exhausted and unconscious.

He finally woke up on a bed. LeBlanc was busy tending to his needs. He lay still, while she tended to his wounds which he never even knew he had. He was quiet, busily observing his surroundings. He seemed to be inside some sort of cathedral, teeming with magic for some reason. LeBlanc just sat beside him and quietly stared into the ceiling, dreaming about dreams that are left in her deepest, darkest chambers in her complicated and intricate mind. She was slightly humming, cuddling her staff and crossed her legs, while staring into the ceiling.

"Oh, you're awake, good. My mistress would be pleased to hear that." she said as she stood up and prepared to escort him to the main hall of the cathedral. She extended her hand as a kind gesture for him to accept. After all, it would be rude to reject.

Veitriyx got out of bed shakily, he almost fell, but she caught him just in time. LeBlanc put his arm around her shoulder to support him. Even though she holds a slim figure, she is quite strong.

They finally reached the hall after several twists and turns. The hooded figure nodded towards LeBlanc, and she made a chair appear out of nowhere for him to sit in.

The lady cleared her voice by coughing, "Thank you. Please leave us now." she requested of LeBlanc.

She nodded and left. The woman started to draw runes in thin air. After awhile, a piercing sound penetrated Veitriyx. He tried to suppress the sound with some of his magic, but clearly the lady's magic is highly superior compared to his. He fell on the floor, wheezing and trying to catch his breath as the sound stopped. "There, I can telepathically speak to you, and you to I." her voice resonating against the walls of his skull.

"You! You orchestrated the plan to kidnap several of the League's champions. What do you hope to do with them?!" he pointed a finger threateningly.

She just nodded, answering his question. She snapped her fingers and two of Zed's disciples appeared at once to prevent him from moving. "I'll tell you what I plan to do with them." she just said, as she walked down her throne-like chair and went through a dark corridor, Veitriyx and Zed's disciples following suit.

They reached a room with numerous prisons. Very clearly, there was a door at the end of the room. White light was radiating from it, as if divine light was flowing through it. The prison blocks seemed empty, except for one. There she was, Katarina, somehow she looked broken. She was just lying down on her bed, giving up and idly staring at the ceiling. The masked lady took off her hood and opened her door. In an instant, Katarina dashed towards her, but she stepped back and Katarina ended up blocked by two more of Zed's disciples. She was held firmly, the students had a rough grip. The masked lady looked at the students and pointed towards the door with the light. Katarina's eyes widened and immediately she tried thrashing, but it only seemed to make the students grip harder. They followed the captive through the door. Inside was just a white reclining chair and a lamp attached to the chair. The students put her on the chair forcefully. LeBlanc came out of nowhere and bound her to the chair with magic. The masked girl finally called Kennen. The little yordle's grin was filled with electricity.

Katarina was whimpering after her body had numerous whip marks. The masked lady had ordered her to be whipped in order for her to cease her annoying tantrums and threats. Kennen started to wear gloves and started to sanitize the marked area, which was somewhere in the higher part of her legs. Veitriyx looked at him weirdly.

The lady noticed his stare, "If you're asking why were put it there, it is because it is a place where most people can't find it. Different people have different places of placement." she said plainly.

The only thing that Veitriyx realized is that Katarina is still awake. "Is she really going to tell him to operate without anesthesia?" he thought panicked. He started the operation.

After 20 minutes, Kennen was finally done. He wiped the sweat off his brow and went away. The lady and her companions left Veitriyx and Katarina alone in the room. After another couple of minutes, Katarina finally regained consciousness, her inner leg still slightly bleeding. She was still on restraints.

"Let me go or I'll kill you!" she shouted to him threateningly while trying to break off the restraints.

"Calm down, your inner thigh's still bleeding. I'd reckon the more you move, the more it'll bleed." he said to her calmly.

She slowly calmed down, the blood dripping from her legs to the floor. He worked his way to the wound, he slightly lifted one leg, careful not to peek. Katarina was blushing red with embarrassment. He supported one leg on his shoulder while he tried to heal the wound with magic, but before he did that, he took out the microchip out of her leg. He then went on to telepathically connect their minds.

"You see, she'll be expecting you to listen to her verbally. You have to follow her, in order not to arouse suspicion." he said, while cutting her free of the restraints.

Katarina nodded and flexed her arms and legs to see if they work properly. When she tried to run, there was intense pain on the area where it had been cut. She stumbled and rolled, with Veitriyx not far. He extended his hand to help pick her up, but she refused and tried to get up on her own.

"Quick, you should get out." he said hurriedly. "You're injured. Tell the Summoners where this place is. They should be able to help you out."

She nodded and disappeared instantly. She ran out of the castle, only for the castle to disappear after a few yards away from it. Veitriyx watched as she slowly disappeared into the woods, hopefully carrying the message to the authorities. He finally tried to retrace his steps towards the main hall. He saw, replacing the throne, a long table, with the masked lady sitting at the head, and LeBlanc and Zed sitting at their sides. She gestured him to take a seat opposite of her. He had no choice but to accept this gesture of kindness. As he seated, plates with food and goblets with wine flew around him, setting themselves up.

After the feast, she whispered to LeBlanc something and she nodded. She stood up and walked towards the place he was seated on.

"Well, are you done? I'm here to escort you to your room." she said politely, holding out a hand. He nodded and took her hand. They walked through numerous glass paintings. They arrived at his room. It was bigger than his last, and more luxurious than the last one. The whole floor was carpeted, there was a chair near the balcony of the room. The bed was huge, it would've been enough for his whole family, if his family was still alive. He was saddened at the thought and immediately slumped onto the bed.

"Is anything wrong, Master?" LeBlanc asked, concerned.

"No, no. Nothing's wro- Wait, did you just call me master?" he said, surprised.

"Yes, yes I did." she said, sitting down on the chair near the balcony.

"W-why would you call me... your master?" he asked curiously.

"It is because my previous master, the one who dined with us recently, has transferred ownership of my contract, to you. She must know you very well.. Because she doesn't do this often." she said.

"Well, I'm pleased to meet you." he said awkwardly, extending his hand.

"The pleasure is all mine. By the way, what is your name?" LeBlanc asked, her head slid slightly to the left.

"Uhm, my name is Veitriyx, but you can call me Vei." he said, scratching the back of his head, as if it was suddenly itchy.

"Anyway, I'm here to assist you forever, or until you die, or until you give me to another person." she said plainly.

He slightly nodded. He finally rested on his bed, his mind troubled.

"You seemed troubled, w-would you want me to pleasure you?" she said, started to take off her cape, but he held her hand tightly.

"N-no thanks. I-I don't partake in your kind of pleasure." he said awkwardly. "Your hand is soft... I think you're pretty!" he blurted all of a sudden, then covered his mouth, to the astonishment of LeBlanc.

"T-thanks.. D-do... you think of me as evil?!" she asked with pleading eyes, begging of the truth.

"I-I really.. haven't... known you much.. Maybe.. just maybe, we could go somewhere sometime and have some fun." he stammered, smiling at her.

"Yeah, some day.." she said, staring wishfully at the sky.

Darkness soon covered the land, cathedral and all. He crept into his large bed and tried to sleep. He saw out of the corner of his eye LeBlanc getting a mat and putting it on the floor.

"Um, hey, LeBlanc, you can sleep beside me if you want. After all, this bed is big." he said as he moved to the side.

"I-I've never been offered anything as luxurious as that. I-I refuse!" she stammered, unwilling to accept the invitation.

He was silent, sitting on the bed. She was worried if she had upset her master. "I can feel your previous master before the lady was a man, a harsh one at that." he said, analyzing her memories. "He... had done disgusting things to you.. And on one night, when you tried to rebel, you were whipped, cursed with marks that will never fade. Your fearful eyes." he said flatly, as if he'd known her lifetime.

She stood up. "I.. I have a question I've been wanting to ask you ever since I've become your pet." she continued, "W-will you be like him? Will you abuse me like him?" she asked, the same fearful eyes developing again, tears started to form in her eyes.

He was silent. Tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"LeBlanc... I've never known you ever this emotionally unstable.." he said, staring at the floor. He finally had the guts to look straight into her teary eye and say, "I would never do that to you. I would rather protect you, like how I protected Ni-" he trailed off.

"Like who?" she asked

"Like... Nidalee.." he said with a heavy sigh.

She hugged him and tried to comfort him. He finally got exhausted and slept almost immediately.

He woke up early morning to the sight of LeBlanc in a plain, white bathrobe. She was brushing her hair in front of a mirror. She had a beautiful figure, and a nice ass. He stared at it for a long time, having fantasies in his head. She finally turned back as he shook his head. She was giggling. His face was albeit red and warm.

"Did you like what you saw Master?" she asked playfully.

"Uhh, yes." he admitted.

She just laughed as they prepared to head to the hall for breakfast. She finally changed into her outfit as Veitriyx changed his clothes. They were quiet during their trip. Not uttering a single word they were. When they reached the hall, she saw the lady seated, wearing the mask. Zed beside her. They took their place at the end of the table as food whizzed around their place. The lady stood up and the table they were seated at disappeared. It was replaced by an ornate circular table with a map of Runeterra in the center.

"Please," she gestured with her hand, "take a seat."

They took their seats opposite of her and Zed. They were required to give a minute amount of blood to confirm of their identities. The masked lady cut her finger, enough so that blood could drip, and passed it onto Zed and so on and so forth, until Veitriyx let his blood drip. Once it touched the runic drawing, it began to glow and appear broken. After a few seconds, it broke and left with a flash of bright light. The masked lady didn't flinch, it was as if there was a barrier protecting her eyes, or face from anything intended to scar, or wound her. She stood up and forced Zed and LeBlanc to head out of the hall, and enchanted the walls with a sound-proof barrier.

"You... I thought you were dead..." she said, surprised.

"What? I have no idea of what you are talking ab-" he was cut off as she took off her mask... "It's her! My sister! But how?!" he thought relieved and panicked at the same time.

"It is I, Yvonne. The sister of whom you have thought died under the Noxian cruelty." she said with conviction.

"B-b-but I saw you were stabbed, multiple times. No one could have survived that." he said.

"That is true, no one can survive that, but that was not me. I found a book, long before our parents were dead and you at the age of six. It was a book of spells, powerful ones. I studied it rigorously, understanding it but incapable of muttering any word from it. Once I learned how to speak, I killed our parents so they may not learn of my true nature. It was that 'accident' that took them." she said plainly, as if it was nothing at all.

"Y-you! I doubt you cared about them anyway!" he said, tears falling down his cheeks as he remembered vividly the inferno which consumed their house, and no doubt, his parents.

"I enlisted the aid of Zed, with a promise, of course. I killed the last bastard that owned LeBlanc, and took her under my wing. I have to bring equality to all nations, especially the nations named as 'Demacia' and 'Noxus'. To end war once and for all! Are you with me? or against me?" she said, holding out a hand.

He stood and grabbed a hold of it, hugging her in the process. "You've made the right choice, my brother." she said as she patted his back.

"But wait, I have a request." he said, holding her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"That a champion may be spared from your inevitable wrath." he said pleadingly.

"Who is it?" she said, curious.

"LeBlanc, and... Nidalee." he said, letting the last word ring throughout the room.

"Very well then, where is this Nidalee of whom you speak of." she inquired.

"I will find her, with LeBlanc's help. Then I will return, ready to spread your seeds of equality." he said, kneeling with one leg.

"Very well... Very well..." she said as she waved her hand dismissing him.

He went out of the chamber and was met by LeBlanc. "What happened?" she said, worried.

"It's nothing, really. But I need your help to find the person I promised never to leave behind." he said.

"I already know who it is... It is Nidalee, isn't it?" she said.

He silently nodded and went to their room to prepare for their grim journey.
