Calm Before The Storm

It has been a week since everyone had met each other, Silco didn't like the fact that everyone knew where he lived now but Liz didn't care. She knew to trust these people and trust her gut. As Liz and Silco tried to figure out what had happened to Jinx. She had disappeared a couple days ago and hasnt come back, the rumors of her sister coming back had become true.This time making Jinx go crazy. Macie now referred to as Razzle, Liz and Nyx, who is the guy who kidnapped Razzle before, are on a mission to get some supplies. Silco had sent them out to do this, which Nyx had originally refused to do but was quickly convinced with money.

Nyx’s POV:

I walked in between Liz and ‘Razzle’ through the dark alleyways of the undercity or as Silco calls it ‘The City of Zaun’ which personally I think sounds dumb but whatever. As we were walking I sort of zoned out until Razzle fell out of absolutely nowhere to which I laughed obviously. “Shut up Nyx.” Macie said as she stood up “No. That’s funny. What did you even trip on?” I say not paying attention then proceeding to trip myself. I heard laughing from Razzle but not Liz. It made me confused, usually she’s a pretty bubbly and humble person and seeing someone fall usually makes her laugh. I stood up and looked at the stone cold look on Liz’s face “What's her problem?” I asked Razzle, she just shrugged and continued the walk to a shipping port, where the supply’s were. Liz was walking in front of me when I accidentally stepped on her shoe “Hey! Watch it.” She turned and faced me with a mean look to her “What’s your problem!” I asked shuffling forward “I-I’m sorry, I’m just-.“ she sighed with a frown on her face “I’m worried about Jinx and Silco.” I just stared at her like she was crazy. “That’s no reason to take it out on me.” She shook her head “I know, I’m just so worried.” She continued on walking now with her hands in her jacket pockets. I wasn’t too worried about her, she was tough. If she needed some to cry I'd let Razzle handle it. We arrived at the shipment area and there wasn’t anyone there, suspicious. “Get behind me, you two.” She tried grabbing my arm but I jumped so she couldn’t grab me. She gave me a look then rolled her eyes “Die then.” She walked forward leaving me and Razzle there alone. “Where are you going?” Liz turned to Razzle, “Going to get our supplies.” She grabbed her sides, lifted up her jacket a little and grabbed her duel pistols “Alone?” She nods “It’s your death wish.” I said walking and grabbing Razzle in the same motion. We walked to one side of the shipment area as Liz walked the other. I was mad at her, she was being so rude for no reason. “Hey, isn't this the supplies?” Razzle pointed to a supply crate that had everything Silco asked for in it. “Yeah it is, but that means- oh no!” I ran out of there as quickly as possible to get to Liz as fast as I could. I ran towards Liz who was just staring into a dark shipment “It's a trap don’t go in there!” she couldn't hear me, as she took a step forward it triggered a bomb, it falling next to her. I ran and jumped to grab her out the way as soon as the bomb went off, hitting me instead of her. All I could hear was ringing then silence, the silence was unbearably loud ‘is this it for me? Why couldn't it be her she's as old as dirt!’ I knew I was probably going to die. In this, I stopped fighting it… 

~~~

As a cold rush came over my body I started to move again, I didn't want to die. I kept fighting even though previously I had given up, I was alive, just not quite awake. I tried opening my eyes, the bright light piercing them slightly. I could hear someone arguing in the background ‘Why didn’t you take the hit!? You're more capable of handling it!’ ‘It was a bomb and I didnt even realise it was next to my feet!’ I recognized the voices almost immediately; it was Ekko and Liz. I finally got my eyes open. “He's awake.” someone said next to me, everything went quiet as I could feel eyes looking at me. I gently sat up, taking in where I was at, the firelights camp. “Hey sleepyhead, thought we lost you back there.” I watched as Liz walked up to me and Razzle sat up in her chair next to me. “Me? No.” I blinked a couple of times looking around. “Gave us a real fright there hotshot.” Ekko says walking up next to Liz “Maybe you could have let her die next!” He was mad that I could tell “We don't need any snarky comments from you Ekko.” Razzle said protecting Liz “Guys, we need to get along for once.” Liz was right we do need to get along if we are to win a war against the piltover soldiers. “I need some water, please.” My throat was really dry and my breathing was no more. Ekko handed me a glass of water, I took a big gulp trying to push away the horrible feeling in my neck. “Is this how you feel Razzle? When you're having those asthma attacks or whatever.” I took another big sip, setting down the glass on the side table. “Sometimes, not all of mine are like getting blown up by a bomb straight to the chest.” I let out a slight chuckle and laid back down in the soft bed. “Let's let him get some sleep, he needs it.” Ekko said to Liz and Razzle. As they left, flashbacks came to me as the darkened parts of the room consumed me in restful sleep.
