Selfish [Vi from Arcane]

Chapter One

Chapter One - Underground

     I didn't want it. The Crown. Why would I want everyone staring at me with those eyes that stare into my soul and call me names without words. Because no matter how much everyone fears us, they want us dead even more.

"Victoria, get dressed you have a ball to attend to." My mother said. I nodded and four handmaids came in to help me into my ball gown.

"Your father and I will be waiting downstairs to send you off. Remember, keep this close in case it takes control." My mother said giving me a vile. It was supposed to weaken me.

"Cada, makes sure she doesn't run off. She's tried it before and it would be shame if she were to go on a rampage before her fourteenth birthday. You know with the revolution going on out there... I'm afraid she will cause more death then those savages are already causing." My mother told my handmaid. "Yes, ma'am." Cada quickly bowed and didn't lift her head until my mother left.

"No eye contact." I told them as they started taking my clothes off. I hoped into the tub they readied for me and I lifted my leg for them to scrub. "It's not that I don't like eye contact it's just I can feel every one of your emotions when I do... and I don't want to feel fear, anger or jealousy right now." My words echoed.

——

Where did it all go wrong? I remember kissing my mother on the cheek before leaving to the ball. I remember a commotion outside causing the horses to halt and people screaming and crying. However, I don't remember getting kidnapped.

"Don't cry or he will kill you." A woman said before lifting her hand off my mouth."What? What's going on?"
"You idiot! I told you to scare her not fucking bring her here. They must be looking for her right now. We have to get rid of her." A man yelled at another man. I was in an old room. Judging from the stuff here I would say it's a strip club and I would also say I'm in the undercity. I have never been here but it looks as trashy as it sounds.

"Kill her and get rid of the body." The man said to the blonde one before walking away. His heartbeat faded and I was left the three in the room. I searched for the third heartbeat until it clicked when I looked at the woman. "You've got a lovely boy in there." I told her and smiled. Her eyes widen as the man stepped up and put her behind him. "What did you say?" He whispered before punching me. My head harshly moved to my left as he repeated it louder.

"What did you say?!"

My eyes connected with the black blood that splattered on the ground. It was dripping from my nose. "Leave her alone she's just a kid." The woman tried to keep him from hurting me. "You heard the big man. We have to kill her and get rid of the body." I was just watching my blood drip down to the concrete floor. I wasn't there anymore.

So you finally bled? Huh?

My eyes met a reflection of myself.

I was wondering when you were gonna bleed.

"What are you?" I asked as I created a distance between me and the large mirror. The floor was water and I was standing on it. There was ripples when there was motion. Everything else was black. "Look at what he's doing to you right now."
The reflection of me moved out of the way and I saw myself in the same position I was just in getting beat to death by the man. The pregnant lady had left the room clutching her stomach. "And to think she left you. Such a shame. How could she do that to someone else's child? Mother must be really hurt right now."

"Am I dead?" I asked her. "No. But you will be if you don't accept me." Her sinister smile opened so wide. She did not look human.
I am not human, remember? and neither are you.

You're me, but better, stronger, and you don't have emotions.

That's right

I know exactly who she is and what she wants. My mother told me about her. She's better. She is power and if I accept her we become one. If not we both die.

"I'll accept you."

Her smile widened. "Great! Now let's eat them all." She smiled as she stepped out of the mirror. She grabbed my hand and pushed me into the mirror and I fell back into the place I once was. I couldn't move, maybe I was dead. He stopped beating me once he heard the woman scream. "She's going into labor!" A man yelled from behind the door. He quickly ran out the room and I felt a surge of energy go through me.

I will be by your side, always.

Thanks

I ripped the chains off of me and I looked at my wounds as they healed. "That's strange." It's cool.

Whatever you say

Lets welcome the little boy into the world... I know just the perfect present.

——

The crying filled my ears as I watched the body of the father fall, decapitated.
The smell of their blood was so...amazing.
Let me have a taste

I opened my mouth and reached for his arm. I chomped on it. The more I ate the more hungry I got. Drool ran down from the sides of my mouth and I began eating faster as the cries deafened my ears.

"Take care of him for me." I looked up to see the woman looking down at her baby in the same position she was in during labor. "What makes you think I won't eat him?"

The voice wasn't mine. It was demonic. It had layers of voices as if there was more than one speaking. Dark and in unison.

"I don't have a doubt you won't but I'm hoping you won't." She said very tiredly. "If the little girl is still in there. If Princess Victoria is still there... forgive me for leaving you with my husband." That was the last thing she said before closing her eyes.

My attention shifted over to the crying baby. "What do you want?" I asked annoyed as I looked down at it. He only answered with a cry. Lets eat him too.

No.

I picked him up and looked at the room. They tried decorating it for the baby. I searched for a pacifier and once I found one I quickly shoved it in his mouth to stop the crying. "You're so fucking annoying."

"Lets go."
