What's up FF? It's me again with another chapter of Ten seconds. Sorry for the delay, I'm not very inspired lately (you will probably notice it in this chapter).

"I told you already Thresh! I didn't tell anyone!"
"So, how come I have unexpected guest asking questions they shouldn't?"
"I don't know! But I swear it wasn't me!"
"Annie, if you lie you will only make things worse for you…"
"I'm telling the truth! You meanie! Why don't you believe me!"
"If you are telling the truth then you wouldn't mind if I look at your soul, don't you?
"N-no way I'm letting you touch my soul! I have seen what you do to souls!"
"Just a look, I won't hurt you in any way… unless you are lying…"
"Wh-Why don't you believe me… I-I'm telling the truth…"
"Don't cry child… You won't get away…"

How to act in front of a eight, maybe nine years old crying little girl? Normally ripping her soul away would be enough, but she was an especial case. Not only stealing her soul would have consequences with the League of Legends, but also a giant, flaming bear would gladly show him why you don't mess with her.
Since we are talking about Tibbers… Where is him? He would probably appeared long time ago, before her master had the chance to cry, after all he was her protector.

"Annie… Where's Tibbers?"

"What happened?"
"Don't you really know?"
"I couldn't care less for other people here… No, I don't know what happened"
"He was eaten by Nashor…"
"Oh… So?"
"Since that moment I-I can't… summon him…"
"What do you mean with that? That bear has been with you forever…"
"I don't know! I do as I always did but… He doesn't appear! I can't summon him!"
"So that's why you haven't been fighting lately don't you?"
"Shut up! How would I fight without him! And besides… It happened since I made that agreement with you! You are responsible!"
"Little child, I would love to be the cause of your pain… But no, I didn't do anything for your bear to disappear. I'm as clueless as you about the matter"
"I just want him to appear again…"
"Show me you stuffed animal, maybe I can find something"

Without a word, the little girl showed the death spirit her little teddy bear. He then proceeded to analyze it for any clues.

"Did your bear always miss its back zip?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look, the zipper on its back is missing. That's why he probably can't come back, his soul doesn't have a proper embodiment, so he can't come back, even if he wants to"
"Now that you mention it… I think he never missed his back zip…"
"It took me five seconds… Did you really couldn't figure it out?"
"S-Shut up! I couldn't because I was too busy looking for the zip!"
"… Never mind, you should look near Nashor's pit for the zip"
"Uhmm, Would you help me finding it?"
"I don't have any reason to help you child…"
"Please?"
"No"
"Please Thresh! I can't stand being near Nashor if I don't have Tibbers with me!"
"Annie… You will go alone to find the zip, I already helped you. So don't bother me"
"You meanie! Once I find Tibber's zip I will make him destroy you!"
"Hahaha! As if he could! Not even in your dreams child!"

As he was talking to the girl, a blue aura started to glow around Thresh, he forgot he had a practice match today

"Well, seems like we will have to finish this talk later child"
"Wait! Don't go! I still have to find the zip!"
"Sorry little girl, but I can't cancel a summoning"

The chain warden was about to disappear when he suddenly feel the dark child grab his arm, she was trying to avoid him to go to the fields of justice.

"You dumb child! Let go of me! Otherwise you!"
"What are you doing with Annie, Thresh?" – asked the frost archer, Ashe
"…Damn…"

He was summoned alongside the dark child. What was worse, he was the last champion to be summoned, so now he had to explain to other four champions why the little girl was with him. Not that mattered that he was a death spirit or so.

"Care to explain?" – asked now the exemplar of Demacia, Garen
"We were having a polite conversation when she grabbed my arm, then she was summoned with me"
"Annie, is he telling the truth?" – asked the lady of luminosity, Luxanna

Thresh could swear how an internal switch changed inside the little girl. She was the "victim" and had Thresh at her mercy. Not that she could defeat him, there was no choice. But having Ashe, Lux, Garen and Rengar (who honestly didn't care about the situation, but remembered last match perfectly, so any excuse was good for him)

"I don't know… Were you being nice Thresh? Didn't you tell me you were going to help me with my task?"
"I… Fine… I will help you if that makes this four idiots stop wanting to fight me, even when we are in the same team"
"Thanks Mr. Thresh! I will now get out of here, so you can battle. I will wait for you once you finished!"

Damn… Damn this child, she surely know how to manipulate people around her!

"What you looking at? Let's go"

Honestly, Thresh was pissed. Not only he had to help this little girl, but she actually beat him minutes ago. People tend to forget they are dealing with a crazy pyromaniac when she pretends to cry. Thresh will have a special session with the spirits he catches on today's match.

"You seem motivated today warden" – commented the archer
"I have my motives… Pay attention, I'm trapping this one" – said Thresh while throwing his chain, which perfectly accommodated around Sarah Fortune waist. Now was the time
"Get over here!" – Almost screamed Thresh, both announcing the opportunity to Ashe and scaring the redhead at the same time
"Not so fast!"

It was time now for Janna to act, launching a little tornado to Thresh, making him abandon his hook to avoid the incoming damage.

"Oh… How much I will enjoy torturing your soul woman…"
"Haha, don't make me laugh warden, I won't give you a single chance!"

It was a particular long match; it seemed that there would be no winner until Thresh could hook Teemo and bring him to his team. His mistake was really painful, as the yordle died almost instantly. This allowed the blue team to push and ultimately destroy the opposite Nexus, but Thresh wasn't exactly happy about it. As Janna said, he never had the chance to collect her soul, action that he really wanted to do.

"You win this time woman, but next time I will make sure to personally take you down…"
"Sure, try to catch me up you fool"

Well at least his team won, it was something. But now he had to help the little, annoying, girl to find the zip of her teddy bear.

"Come on dark child, let's go to Nashor's pit and find the zip"
"Nice battle you had, Thresh!"
"Could have been better, but that woman is surely hard to catch"

They reached the (empty) pit and started to look for a zip. The water around surely made things difficult, but after two hours of failure, Thresh decided to cancel the search.

"It seems it isn't here child and since it's getting dark I won't keep looking for it"
"Thresh! Please, help me look for it! I'm sure it has to be around here!"
"Look child, if you want so much that zip, come tomorrow and keep looking for it. I won't look for something so small in middle of the night. My patient has limits"
"But you promised to help me!"
"No, I never promised anything. You made that little act where the others fools fall for it and I had to say yes"

He then left the little girl alone. What a wasted day, looking for a zip in middle of the night. But since it was getting dark, it was a good time to practice a bit. The Summoner's Rift was an almost perfect place to practice at night. Very few champions were at the time so he could train as much as he wanted, after all he didn't need to sleep (who needs it when you are neither dead nor alive?)
Two hours later he was ready to go outside the field, but he catches a particular view. A small, violet tent by the river, who could be? What's this? An unexpected victim maybe?

Since he really wanted to torture someone, this would be good. He grabs one of his chains and starts to slowly move them, making their particular sound, slowly making them louder and louder. He also uses his spectral voice to make sounds no mortal could ever hear, making even the bravest warriors scream for their lives. He can hear a voice, obviously scared; this was going to be easy.
He was by the entrance now, all what was left was to open the then and claim the soul. He decides to be fast, using his weapon to rip the tent

"Your souls is mi" – but he's interrupted
"Thresh! Help!" – Screams a scared Annie, while jumping into him and grabbing his chest with her arms
"What the?"
"There is a spider Thresh! Help me!"
"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FEAR ME, NOT A (#$"%!) SPIDER!"
"Why should I fear you?"
"Because I'm going to kill you and torture forever!"
"But Thresh, you aren't bad with me… You always help me when I need you! You are a good person!"

That's it, enough is enough. Someone needed to die that same instant. But Thresh was a rational being. If he killed the child then the League would eventually found about it. He was strong sure, but not enough to go against the entire League… not yet.

"Here use your tent zip on your bear"
"Isn't bigger than the old one"
"Use it before I kill you"
"Okay!"

Although it was a bigger than the last one, it fit reasonably good on the teddy bear

"Now, summon your bear"

Annie couldn't believe it, it worked! Tibbers was actually in front of her eyes! And Thresh was also behind Tibbers! He was… holding her weapon?

Tibbers never had a chance; he was merely summoned when Thresh was already aiming his weapon at his "neck". What followed was a massacre to the poor bear. Three hours later, Thresh was a bit exhausted, but damn that felt good.

"I think I had enough, you can call him into your teddy bear again"

Annie didn't respond that night was going to be recorded on her mind for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Thresh? Is Tibbers going to come back after all you did?"
"I didn't took his soul so he should be fine, it will probably take him a day or two to recover though"
"… Thanks"
"Why for? I just killed your guardian in front of your eyes"
"Well… It's not the first time he dies around me. But it was the first time I couldn't summon him, thank you for helping me!"
"Whatever, I'm getting out of here"
"Would you escort me to my room? It's not far from here"
"If you shut up and go to sleep then yes. I had enough of you for one day"
"Thanks!"

What a day, not only Thresh realize he couldn't scare the youngest champion of the League, but she was growing attached to him. And what was going to happen if other champions knew about this? His reputation would be destroyed.

"Elise, I swear, if you tell anyone of this you will wish me to kill you for the torment I will cause you, I know that spider was one of yours"
"Well, well, if isn't the chain warden himself? That was quite a unique view Mr. Thresh"
"I warned you already spider, get out of my view"
"Or what? Are you going to hug me to death like you did to the little child?"
"Here, a present for you" – he then threw something to Elise
"You pathetic spirit! How dare you to do this to one of my spider lings?"

It was the little spider that scared Annie. It was missing all of its limbs and also its eyes. It seem that even spiders can't escape the warden's wrath.

So, in the end Thresh couldn't find out who told about his "particular" ability. Not only that, he had to spend all day long with that annoying little girl and actually helped her. In addition to that, Elise clearly saw how Annie hugged Thresh and actually didn't felt scared of him.

Thresh didn't had the need to sleep, but

"I'm going to sleep now; I need to forget a few things about today"

Author Notes: Well, finally I could wrote something, so here's chapter 4! I know it's really different from the rest (I don't rely too much on character emotions on this one) and it's more random and fun (?) than the rest. I will probably rewrite this one later so it fits better with the rest of the story. Thanks for reading! Please rate and review! (If you have to be harsh, be it!)
