My baby's lifeless body fell backwards as my crazy sister flicked me off. "See yah Fat Hands." She turned around and made her escape. I crawled on the floor, pain still ringing throughout my legs as I slowly touched his face. I closed his eyelids and sat in silence. A few minutes later Cupcake arrived onto the scene and when her eyes glossed over what happened she immediately called a medic team to our position.
I stood up, told Caitlyn I'll be back, and limped away from the crime scene. I somehow got to my challenger without falling down the steps due to that crazy bitch shooting me in both of my legs... fuck it hurts. I closed my door, started my car, still barely wearing any clothes as I drove off to one of my hideouts on the outskirts of Piltover. Pulling up to this old ass small shack in the middle of nowhere, I kicked it open with my bare foot and limped inside.
I took a knee, due to the pain in my legs, but rose back up and reached the end of shack. I flipped on a lamp switch, the space filled with a little bit of light revealing a black workbench. I glided my hand on the table to find a certain spot to fully place my fingers onto it. The table lit up, a female voice welcomed me as the floor behind me next to the entrance opened up. I turned around, careful with my steps as I headed downstairs.
This shack has most of my shimmer supply and is secret to everyone, including Caitlyn. I need to inject some into my legs, rest for a hour, and regroup with Caitlyn. I made it down stairs into the heavy lit room that came alive once my feet hit the floor. All of the walls turned around, drawers opened showing me all of my shimmer I collected over the years. I sat on the floor, grabbed a already made needle infused with shimmer and with one motion stabbed myself on the leg with it.
I screamed at first due to the pain... then made this creepy laugh as the shimmer went through my body. I leaned back, my vision getting blurry as I closed my eyes. I opened them again as my baby walked down the stairs... how did he know I was here? I smiled as he rubbed my cheek with his soft hand... "I love you." He told me as another laugh escaped my lips...
This shit ain't real. I waved my hands as the hallunction faded away. I closed my eyelids again and opened them back up. I sighed, rose up and noticed my pain was gone. I stretched my legs out and quickly ran upstairs. I put my hand on the black table, the basement closed back up as I walked back outside. I opened my car door, started up my car and headed back to my apartment.
A loud screech from my tires as I pulled up back to the scene, I ran up the steps and all the enforcers left, medic squad left with my baby, the only person left was Cupcake as she sat on the now cleaned couch. I sat beside her and for a few minutes we sat in silence until she spoke first. "What are you going to do Vi?" She asked me. I leaned back and let the events replay in my head.
"I'm goin' afta that bitch." I said, my voice sounding cold, dead almost. "Don't stop me Cupcake." I said, sounding like some cliché from a movie. Caitlyn sighed but didn't respond at first, it took her a minute to say something to my brashness.
"Why? It's going-" Without thinking I stood up and screamed at her.
"BECAUSE HE WAS MINE!" I yelled. "HE WAS MY HAPPINESS!" Now the tears came out... man I haven't cried in... a long time. "FUCK!" I yelled. Damn it, now I'm choking on my words... I hate this man. "I... fuck... he was mine... SHE TOOK HIM!" I yelled in between breaths. Caitlyn got up and grabbed my neck. She pulled me in as I let it all out.
"Shh it's okay... it's going to be fine." Her motherly instincts took over as she rocked me slowly while all of my tears were splashing onto her upper clothes.
"We was... gonna get married... and have like... five kids... and I was gonna... take care of him..." A giggle came from Cupcake as she guided me to sit back down onto the couch.
"Didn't expect you to be the mother type Violet." Caitlyn said with a smile. I leaned back as she wiped my tears away while I got my emotions under control. I finally broke after all these years of showing resistance to it.
"I'mma kill her." I said, my normal voice coming back. "Fuck it, she's gonna die." I fully expect Cait to say don't do it! You are going to get yourself killed. But what she actually said was something I didn't expect.
"And I will help you Vi." She spoke and kissed my forehead. "She's going to expect us. so we need to plan, I have some Zaun spies that can give us information." She stopped and rose up from the couch. "Killing her won't bring him back Violet, are you sure revenge is the best option? How about you think about it for a few days." I watched her as she started to walk out of my now cleaned apartment.
"But whatever decision you make, I will support you." Was her last words as she left me by myself.
The next day came, I didn't do shit but lay in my bed thinking about what Caitlyn said to me. "Revenge might not be the best option." I sighed to myself and stared at my ceiling. How is revenge not the best option? She murdered my dude right in front of me to send a message... or in her words "to kill her sister."
I would be stupid to let that slide, I could just call Cupcake up and tell her we will go in Zaun as a duo and fuck up the place, kill my sister, and be done with it. That makes fucking sense! Right?
Or maybe... that doesn't. No matter what I do, he's dead, killing Jinx isn't going to make me feel better. After another five minutes in bed I rose up like that dude from that wrestling show he loved to watch, stumbled to my PC and turned it on. I opened up steam and scrolled through my list of games. One title caught my eye as I used my scroll wheel to find it again.
The Walking Dead Definitive Edition.
He asked me to play this a while ago but I never got around to it. I installed the game and decided to play through it to pass time and let my mind focus on something else.
A day and a half later, a lot of crying, some actual laughs, and I played through it. It was... really good and it made think a little. I found the answer, time to call Cupcake and set it up.
"I understand the plan Vi, but why do you want to do this alone?" She asked me. I put my hoodie over my head and took a deep breath.
"Yeah, Jinx gotta know I'm comin' so... it's best if I go alone, what I'm goin' to do doesn't need a team." The worry on her face showed as I caressed her cheek. "I'm coming back Cupcake. When I do? We need to visit Jayce." I turned around and started my journey to Zaun, parkouring and watching my steps. I took a shortcut and stood on a beam looking over my dad's bar.
I pulled out my phone and called a unsaved number. "HELLLLOOOO!" The woman screamed.
"Hi Jinx. I'm hea, unarmed, by myself. Whea' can we talk?" I asked.
"At our spot. I am already here." I hung up and quickly made my way to the broken down hangout spot. I made my way down from the hanging beams and landed on my feet in front of the old building. I slowly walked in, took careful steps to my own punching machine and stood there. A few seconds later Jinx's bright pink eyes glowed towards my direction from the darkness. "Sister." She spoke.
"Jinx." I spoke back.
"So, you are here, for... what? Also, unarmed, strange." She pointed out.
"Comin' from you, who has her man nearby, he ain't hea?" I asked.
"No one's here Vi. Just you and I. What do you want?" She asked. I sighed... this is the only way to fix this. I took a deep breath and walked up to my sister. I took my hoodie down and quickly grabbed her neck with both arms. I gave her a hug. We both said nothing, hell I don't even think she's buying the moment. "Why are you hugging me?" She asked, her voice though, sounded a little weaker.
I leaned back, tears coming from my eyes as she stared into them. "I love you sister. I know I neva' told you, but I love you. I'm sorry fo everything." Suddenly she pushed me back and yelled "Why the fuck are you saying this now?" I wanted to lie, tell her I really did love her, but... in reality...
I am only doing this so your ass will leave me the fuck alone.
"Our relationship is fucked, but at least... I can say sorry." If... I am doing this right-
Jinx's fist socked my face, I fell backwards and landed on to the punch machine. "YOU THINK I AM DUMB? I MURDER YOUR BOYFRIEND AND YOU COME OUT OF NOWHERE SAYING YOU LOVE ME?" Another punch to my face, then gut, then punch which made me fall to the ground. Jinx grabbed my collar and my face took another punch. "YOU BITCH!"
No defense, no fighting back, I am going to let her fuck me up. After a few more punches she finally stopped and her tears fell onto my face. "YOU DYKE, BITCH, WHORE, THIEF, I FUCKING HATE YOU." She's finally breaking down, crying onto my chest. "I... hate... you. You never loved me! You never visited! You never talked to me! YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING!"
...
"I'm sorry." Is all I can say. Everything she says is true, but this has to be done. Jinx pulled back, I slowly got up, waited for the next hit but it never came.
"We could of been superstars sister. Instead you choose Piltover, Vander, and the Enforcers. Now you think after all of this, I am going to just forgive you? I know what you really want, you don't want forgiveness, you want me to leave you alone. You are such a pathetic fucking liar." After her words she smacked me across my face. "I WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE HOW I DID!" She yelled.
"I love you Powder." I said. "I do want you to leave me alone, but I want us to be happy too." I slowly walked to my sister and gave her another hug. "Yo constant makin' my life worse ain't fixin' anything between us. Let's bury the hatchet hea." I paused and hugged her tightly. "Yo life ain't gonna move forward unless you let this go."
She hasn't hit me... am I getting to her?
...
She's hugging me back!
"I don't love you, I hate you. I wish you were never my sister." She sighed and pushed me away. "You are right. I can't move on like this. I can't love Ekko properly still having you in my mind. I can't run Zaun still following your ass around." Powder pulled back and gave me one last punch... it felt soft compared to her last ones. "Fine. I needed this. I don't ever want to see you again Violet. Get out of my city."
With that my sister disappeared into the darkness of our hangout spot.
