My Enemy? (O/C x Jinx)

Chapter 10

Echo wakes up in the same room he was in before he went to sleep. The same darkness and he was alone, except for an orange dot in the corner.

"Hello boy." The familiar voice said, staring at him.

"Thought you were dead." Echo said, uneasiness in his voice.

"Vander's prodigy, shame we never actually talked." Silco said as he walked towards Echo.

Silco just laughs as he walks towards Echo, knife in hand. Panic fills up inside him with every step. Just as the knife plunges into Echo he wakes up yelling and grabbing the spot where he thought the knife went in.

Jinx runs in with Ekko not to far behind her and stop when they both see the panicked and trembling eyes of Echo as he sits up on the bed, looking around the room in terror.

"What the hell happened?" Echo asked once he finally calmed down.

"You, uh, you scared the hell out of everyone." Ekko said, sitting across from him.

"What caused it?" Jinx asked, leaning her head on his shoulder as she asked.

"A realistic nightmare. I'll... just leave it at that." Echo said, just shaking his head.

Silence fell in the room as the three sat there, Echo caught in his own thoughts and both Jinx and Ekko were trying to figure out what exactly happened in his nightmare.

"It wasn't from when-" Jinx started to ask before Echo interrupted "No, it wasn't from that night."

Everyone went back to their thoughts as the room fell into silence once again. Echo was tapping his fingers on the tables debating on what to say.

"It... It was Silco. Even when I think he's gone he always finds a way to haunt me." Echo said before he looked up to see their expressions.

Echo wasn't surprised to see the shock on their faces.

"I'm going for a walk, clear my mind somewhat." Echo said, getting up from the chair and walking out.

Echo walked The Lanes and went back into his apartment building, thankfully the owner wasn't there when he walked in. He got into the elevator and went back up towards his room, when the elevator door opened he walked towards his room and opened the door.

As he stepped inside he heard a click. "Fu-" Echo started to say before seeing a huge fireball in his face and seeing black.

Echo hears a faint voice screaming his name and tears falling on his face before losing conciseness again.

He feels pain shooting in his arm as he's looking around and notices he's strapped down to some sort of operating table.

"No!" He screams out in agony and pain.

He sees visions of the past, that night at the cannery and Silco standing over him. He sees Vi and Jinx standing next to him, pink tears begin to stream down his cheeks as he sees Vi pull the trigger on him and laughing about it as Jinx disappears and is replaced by a hysterically laughing Caitlyn. He knows this is a trick but it's a small part of him that feels this is the truth.

"Get the hell away from me!" He screams at a man who looks like Silco.

"Not that much longer now. Honestly, death is sometimes more merciful." The man says as he holds down Echo's head, his face switching between Silco and a man with burns on his face who injects another vial of pink liquid into his arm.

He knows what's been injected into him, the shimmer wants to take control of both his rage and mind but he knows he'll lose himself if he lets that happen, he's seen it happen to too many people. It keeps getting harder and harder to keep his control on his own mind until he finally wakes up.
