young & wild ✧ ( Arcane )

I.

"Hey idiot!" a voice rang throughout the small hallway, stickers and photos cluttered the stained faded walls.

"Yeah?" another voice responded, soft blue eyes peaked from the baby pink blanket, that was no longer baby pink because of the stains and patches, used as a door.

"We're leaving, now" the brunette yelled, the frail blonde exited the room, her tattered bear in her hand, it had a small bracelet around its neck like a necklace. Another girl popped out of the room, purple curls with blue streaks complimenting her young features and her gray eyes shining like the moon.

"Where to?" the blonde asked, tilting her head slightly whilst leaning against the wall.

"Not sure, definitely somewhere" the brunette responded, throwing a bag over her shoulder leaving the small house, the other two trailed behind talking among themselves.

"Venus?" the youngest said, approaching next to her.

"What, Celeste?" she responded.

"How far are we walking? I'm tired" she whined impatiently.

"Don't complain to me, you should have gone to bed earlier," Vee said, snatching a pear from a stand. Celeste rolled her eyes and kept walking. The streets were filled with scrappy people, and small children running around. Luna skipped around her other two friends, peaking at stands and holding her teddy bear close.

"You're the same age as Celeste and more of a child," Venus said with an annoyed tone, Luna scoffed pouting, to which Venus rolled her eyes. Luna attempted to steal an apple, which she doesn't even like, and dropped the fruit, alerting the merchant.

"Hey, you!" He yelled, grabbing her wrist, she tried to turn, looking at Venus for help with a panicked expression. The older girl rolled her eyes, approaching the two while grabbing her knife.

"I don't want to do this today" she smiled sarcastically, putting the knife in his face. He let go of Luna's arm as she rushed to Celeste's side.

"Take your stupid apple," Venus said, throwing the apple at Luna, she held her arms out not catching it.

"Thanks" she smiled, leaving it on the ground as they continued walking. They traveled throughout the dull streets, occasionally stealing an item or two. The three made their way to topside, venturing the alleyways.

"Why do you have a flower in your hair?" Venus asked, taking notice of the small yellow flower in Luna's hair.

"Because I found it," she answered with a smile.

"I hope it dies" Celeste commented, glaring at the blonde. Luna frowned at her comment, patting the flower. The three continued their venture while avoiding other citizens. Eventually, they came across a group of four, talking to a crusty blonde boy.

"Just a taste?" A pink-haired girl questioned the man, a bag in her hands

"Just a-" she cut him off, hitting him in the face with the bag before throwing it to a blue-haired girl. The fight broke out and punches were thrown.

"Hey I know her, she helped me before," Venus said, pointing to the pink-haired girl.

"Should we help or?" Celeste mumbled.

"I guess" Venus shrugged, approaching the fight. Luna gulped nervously, holding her bear tightly.

"You're coming too," Celeste said, grabbing her arm causing her to drop her bear, she pulled back propping the bear up against the wall, she smiled to herself before joining the other two.

"Need a hand? It's Vi right?" Venus asked, approaching her.

"Yeah, for both" Vi responded throwing another punch, Venus gladly punched another guy, kneeing his stomach and elbowing his back. Celeste took that as an automatic yes for herself, kicking the first guy she saw in the balls, he hunched over, falling to the ground, and Celeste laughed.

"Guys- What do I-" Luna sputtered, just looking around her, jumping out of the way while they fought. Her panicked eyes met another girl, her hair was a deep blue, and she was back against a wall. Luna tried to smile, but it was a weak one and she quickly flinched moving over as another guy fell next to her feet. The bluenette began to run, as one of the guys ran after her, Luna ran after not knowing what else to do, her small body pushed through tight spaces between boxes as she jumped up onto them running past the guy with ease and jumping down beside the other small girl.

"Run ahead, ill distract him," Luna said hesitantly, giving the younger girl a reassuring smile, She nodded running ahead.

"You know, you're ugly" Luna observed, stopping in front of him. He stood there, taken aback.

"What? I'm just being honest" She mumbled, smiling innocently. He continued to stare before pushing past her, but she grabbed the back of his shirt pulling him back with ease, although she was small and scared of basically everything, she still had the strength to do so. She ran past him, laughing before taking a sharp turn reaching a dead end, and the bluenette.

"Well shit" Luna sighed, peaking around the corner seeing the man.

"Sorry, I tried. By the way, what's your name?" she asked, sitting down in front of her

"Oh uh, Powder" She mumbled, pulling an object out of her pocket while dropping nails inside it.

"What's that?" Luna questioned, watching her shake the device up.

"A bomb, her name is Mouser" Powder responded, rolling it out in front of the so-called ugly guy

"You make bombs?" Luna marveled, admiration in her eyes. The bomb ticked before it went off, but Luna's admiration quickly turned to disappointment as the bomb let out a small cloud of smoke.

"I make them, but they don't always work," she said, as the guy approached the two cornering them into the gate, the two looked at each other before Powder quickly unbuckled the bag from her chest, throwing it over the gate into the water.

Luna grabbed Powder's arm, running past the guy and making their way back to the others.

"Thanks, for the help," Vi said to Venus, who just shrugged it off.

"It was nothing, you helped me out before anyways" Vee replied, Celeste, looked around confused but not worriedly at all.

"Wheres Luna? And that other one?" She questioned
