Selfish [Vi from Arcane]

Chapter Two

Chapter Two - Violet

      The baby stopped crying after some time. I think it's dead. It's not. I think it's just sleeping. I took off my clothes off by myself for the first time and grabbed some of the clothes meant for the baby. They bought everything for each stage of the babies lifetime. "Some parents you had." I told the baby before ripping my dress and creating a carrier sling. "You don't have a name... I'll name you Augustine." I told the baby. I carefully placed him inside the sling.

    Danger is coming. Run.

    I didn't waste anytime and ran out the store and was met with fire and fights everywhere. "Come here! Hurry!" I lady with purple hair hurried me to go over into their store.

  Go.

   I ran to her and slipped in. She closed and locked the door before turning on the lights. I was face to face with grey eyes and pink hair. The girl seemed a year or two younger than me. "Mom, who are they?" She asked the purple haired lady. The lady turned and furrowed her eyebrows before looking at my sling. "Oh my god is that a newborn baby?" I nodded before she basically ripped him from my body. She quickly grabbed something from somewhere and turned around as she fed him a bottle of formula.
"Is he your brother?" I shook my head
"Where did you find him?" I shrugged.

"Dunno. Just saw him next to his dead mom." I told her before turning my head to the pink haired girl. I wanted to talk to her but I didn't know how. I'm used to people introducing themselves to me and wanting to please me, worship me. They don't know who I am.

  Don't tell them who you are

Why not?

The war outside is because of your people

"I'm Victoria." I told them. "That's my daughter Violet and this is Powder. I'm-" she was cut off by a crash outside. "I have to go. I'll be right back. Violet take care of Powder. Keep feeding him this." She said quickly as she gave me the baby and left.

"Who's Powder?" I asked as I looked around. I felt several heartbeats but I couldn't find this Powder. "um.. hi." A small voice said. I locked eyes with the small girl behind Violet. She felt scared. "This is Powder, she's my younger sister." The pink haired girl introduced her. "Also, my name isn't Violet- I mean it is it's just not what people call me here I like to go by Vi-" She continued her rambling as I got closer. "Hi, Powder. Wanna see my little brother?" I asked her.

Her eyes held curiosity as she nodded. I leaned down and watched as she looked at Augustine sucking on the milk. "What's his name?" Vi asked looking at him. "I named him Augustine." I told them and put him back in my sling after he finished eating.

"Is this where you live?" I asked the pink haired girl. "Yeah. Are you from around here? You don't sound like you are. You sound expensive ." She told me getting closer. I didn't back away or anything. However, my heart started racing at our close proximity. Never in my life have I been so close to someone.

"Im not." Is all I said before looking into a broken mirror. I didn't look hurt from the beating I took earlier. Demonic blood . I still had black blood but it didn't look like blood it just looked like I was dirty. "Where are you from?" She asked getting closer.

"I'm from the castle. I'm a servant. I serve under the princess." I told her while looking around. "How is it? Serving under the princess." She asked while sitting on a chair. I sat on the one next to her as Powder sat on the floor looking up at me clearly interested in what I had to say. "We can't make eye contact. Everything has to be done for her and-"

"No eye contact? Just how stuck up are these people?" She was clearly mad. "It's because whenever they stare into peoples eyes they can feel the persons emotions. It's hard feeling envy and anger all the time. It must be hard for her." I quickly defended myself. "Yeah so hard. With a place like that I wouldn't be complaining. It's better than the chaos going on down here." She was right.

"You're right-" I heard a woman scream. It echoed into the shop and everywhere around. It sounded familiar...

"Mom?!" Vi stood up alert and ran out the door with Powder following behind.

I guess it's time to go home.

Take over. I need to catch some sleep.
