A gay start to season two || Arcane || violyn

Alone

CAITLYN'S POV:
After the council was nuked by jinx, I had lost my parents, most of the people I knew and loved, my home, and vi, my best friend. God I missed her. I had basically no where to stay, so it was either the cold wet rainy streets, or, the undercity. I decided I should stay away from the undercity, as it was decidedly very unsafe for someone like me, so I slept in a small abandoned shack I had found on the outskirts of the city. It wasn't very nice, but I hadn't much choice, as now that vi was gone, it was just me and jinx. Jinx was still after me after killing my whole family and making me loose my best friend. I wanted to hate her so much, but seeing Vi's love for her over the past few days made it impossible to so. So instead I sat in my little shack while I cried. Cried over my parents. Cried over vi. Cried over everything.

The wind whipped through the gaps of the small hut. I sat on the cold stone floor and cried. I needed vi. Now more than ever. I shakily stood up off the floor, and packed all of the things I owned into a backpack. I fished out my old outfit I wore with vi in the undercity and put it on. It had several tears and a few blood stains, but it did the job. I took a deep breath before walking away from my little shack, down into the undercity.

I clambered down the metal rooftops like vi taught me too, and jumped down onto the ground. The streets down here were nothing like the top side. None of the people here seemed to be gripped by fear, or gripped by anything really. They all looked emotionless. Like zombies. I was cautious where I went. I didn't have vi to protect me now, and, since it had been a little over a week since vi and I had been down here, I didn't remember most of her warnings of the dangerous things down here. I saw a red headed woman dart past in the street opposite me. "Vi?" I wispered to myself. You're just being silly, you'll never find her this easy. I was right. It wasn't her.

I let out a sigh, and kept walking. I kept walking until my legs were aching and my feet were screaming at me to stop. I searched every last corner of the undercity, and she was nowhere to be found. Night was quickly falling and I had no place to go. No place to sleep. This is stupid. I sighed. That's when I heard the voice behind me.
