Chapter 2

Riven blinked rapidly as the world or more precisely, her room, blurred into view. She dragged herself over to the sink and nearly fell over when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was messy, her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were tear stained, she blushed as the memories of last night came rushing back to her.

"Oh god, I...I... I cried in front of Irelia and Ahri like a five year old running to their parents room because they had a bad nightmare. They must think I'm so weak, that I can't protect myself, that I'm just a scared little girl who is pretending to be a warrior," she thought, her Noxian heritage showing through.

She dejectedly got dressed and headed for the bar/canteen. Summoners, Champions and visitors alike were eating, drinking and chatting to each other, except of course poor Amumu was sitting at the bar by himself holding what appeared to be a glass of apple juice, crying of course, Morgana was with Pantheon behind the counter kneading dough, Twisted Fate was flirting with every female summoner by showing all the cool tricks he could do with his pack of cards, Draven also appeared to be trying to hit on girls, though he made a stupid choice to hit on Katarina and I watched as her quick temper got the better of her and she stabbed one of her daggers into the chair he was sitting on, right between his thighs, causing him to squeak and jump back in panic while scowling at those around him who were laughing at his expense, Vi was watching Caitlyn absentmindedly eat a cupcake while glaring at Jinx, Ziggs and Tristana (who called themselves the Fun Loving Trio or as everyone called them, the crazy f**kers who like blowing shit up) while they seemed to be miming an explosion, and she wasn't the only one watching someone who was watching someone else.

Rumble was glaring at Teemo who was watching Tristana out of the corner of his eye while discussing the pros and cons of certain poisons with Cassiopeia, it was so obvious why he was glaring at Teemo. EVERYONE knew he had a crush on Tristana (Seriously, he named his mech after her for god's sake). Well, everyone except for Tristana, Teemo, the champions who are locked up (*cough* Nocturne *cough*) and the 'crazies' like Lulu and Veigar who, speaking of the devil, was trying to eat his food by himself, but not succeeding much as Lulu and her fairy who seemed to be trying to steal his hat. In the middle of the room Olaf and Tryndamere were having an arm wrestling competition while being cheered on by Ashe and Sejuani respectively and a huge crowd. Meanwhile over in the corner Cho'gath, Kog'maw and Kha'zix were making no efforts to silence their ravenous eating habits and were being watched by those near them with disgust and fear and of course Gragas was at the bar serving up the latest batch of his brew.

I grabbed a tray of food and a cup of coffee and headed to a table with Nami, Sona, Lux and Leona.

"Hey guys,"

'Strum' (Morning Riven)

"Hey Riven, why did you wake up so late? Irelia and Ahri were here looking for you,"

"Looking for me? Why?" "Don't they think I'm weak?"

"Dunno, Soraka was with them, maybe look for them at the infirmary between matches or something," replied Nami.

"Yeah, I should probably check my matches for today, see ya guys later!"

Things were not going well for the exile up in the top lane. She was up against Malzahar, the self proclaimed Prophet of the Void. She had already had two gank attempts against her by the enemy jungler Nocturne, while her team's jungler, Sion, hadn't been top once. It wasn't hard to figure out why, for he is a Noxian after all, well, he was at least. The first time she had managed to get away relatively unscathed, but her summoner had been forced to use her flash the second time.

She barely noticed that Malzahar was letting the minion wave push up when her summoner yelled out to her "Look out! Nocturne just passed the tri bush and he just hit level 6! He's got his Ul..."

"DARKNESS!"

"This could not get any worse, or so I thought."

AN: Edited both chapters to include line breaks, dunno why they didn't work before. If you have time write a review please, tell me what you like or dislike about it.
