Destined for One Another (Arcane Vi x OC Fan fiction) On HOLD

IV

~~Silco's POV~~

"Ever wonder what's it's like to drown? Story of opposites. There's peace in water, like it's holdin' you, whisperin' in low tones to let it in. And every problem in the world will fade away. But then there's this thing... ... In your head, and it's raging. Lighting every nerve with madness. To fight. To survive. And all the while, this question lingers before you: Have you had enough? It's funny. You could pass a lifetime without ever facing a choice like that. But it changes you forever. For that, I thank you... old friend."

~~Five's POV~~

Only to find... My Dad?

"Dad?" "We don't have much time." He told me. "How did you find me?" I asked. "I'm proud of you. Always have been." "I'm sorry, I... This is the only way to protect the others." I said almost crying. "Vander." Benzo shouted nervously.

"You've got a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter how the world tries to break you. Protect the family. I love you Natalia" He said. "What are you--" "No." "Dad!"
"Let me out. This isn't right."

"I'm guessing that's for me?" Grayson asked Vander. Marcus went to go to the door but Vander blocked his way. "You gonna let us make the arrest or not?" Marcus ask him. "You'll oblige a doomed man one last smoke." Vander asked. "Won't you?" "I'm not putting you away, Vander. The council needs it's pound of flesh. Without you down here, it all falls apart." Grayson spoke.

"Benzo will handle things. I may not have my devilish charm, but he runs a tight ship." Vander said.

"Dad, no. You can't do this." Natalia yelled and banged on the door.

"You won't be coming back for a long time." Grayson said. "I know." Said Vander. "Why?" Grayson asked. "Mm." Vander replied, "its the only way." You could hear the grunts Natalia is making by trying to open the door. "Benzo, open the damn door." she shouted.

I was stuck in a tiny room. I heard sounds coming toward the window next thing you know there's a dark crimson color everywhere. Blood.

"Silco?" Benzo yelled. "You animal. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came out of." "Benzo, stay back." My dad warned him but he wouldn't listen.

"You never did know when to walk away." Silco said. "Wait... No!" My dad yelled. When I seen Benzo's body drop to the ground made my heart sink. "Hmm. Stubborn to the end." Silco smirked.

"What the hell have you done? This wasn't the deal!" Marcus yelled at Silco. "Deals changed." He spoke.
"No...... No!" I started to cry watching my dad motionless watching that-that thing drag him around like a sack of potatos. And nothing more. I cried my eyes out. Screaming and breaking down. By the end of the day I might not have a dad anymore.

After what felt like forever, I heard the door open. Looking up I seen Ekko walk in almost about to cry, "I saw everything." There's the crying, I ran over to him to give him a tight hug. "Be... Benzo. They..." He tried to speak but couldn't. "What about my dad?" "They took him." He said. "Where?"
He was going to let get go but, "wait, please just one more minute." I asked him and he accepted. We both just cried in each other's arms. Only a couple of people seen me like this when I was 9. Now, just 6 years later I'm doing the same thing again.

~~Vander's POV~~

"It's a little crude, I'll admit. The base violence necessary for change. But we both know topside won't listen to anything else." Silco said. "Even with your monsters, you won't win a war against Piltover." I told Silco. "I don't have to. I just need to scare them. They won't dare set foot in the underground again." "You'll get people killed. For what? Pride?" I questioned him. "For respect. Opportunity. Everything they've denied us." "You had my respect. The Lanes' respect, but that... that was never enough for you." "We shared a vision, Vander. A dream of freedom. Not just for the Lanes, but the whole of the underground, united as one. the nation of Zaun. Do you even remember? I Trusted you. And you betrayed me." "What I did to you... I've never forgiven myself. You were my brother." I said.
