Jinx was cautious. She ran through the trees and occasionally hid behind large rocks. She thought she heard growling from the creature that had been chasing her the whole time, but that could be anything, right? That could be anything else. She still had the radio comm on her weapon belt just in case Vi or anyone were to contact her again. She was wishing someone one, if she was honest.
Eventually, she had to stop and rest. She sat down behind a large rock and flipped the connect switch, "Please, someone connect," she told herself. She scratched the leftover bed bug bites and cautiously checked her surroundings.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Asked a staticky voice. It was a girl. It wasn't Vi but at least it was someone, "Please, is someone there? I'm stuck."
"Hello?" Jinx responded.
"Yes! Thank you! Please, you have to help me. A rock fell on my leg and now I'm stuck."
Usually, Jinx would've thought, what an idiot, only this time she didn't. She actually felt the need to help the girl because what if they were running from the same creature? The same creature that slaughtered three people in front of Jinx's magenta eyes.
"Hello?" The girl called out.
"Yeah, sorry, where are you at?" Jinx asked. There was silence for a moment.
"Shit," the girl said to herself, "Where are you?"
"Um... the woods."
"Wow, how specific."
"That's where I am. I guess I'll just continue down this damn trail."
"Are you going to Noxus or South of that?"
"South. Fuck Noxus."
"Keep going South."
Then the static stopped completely. Jinx sighed and leaned her head back on the rock, feeling the soreness in her muscles. She took deep breaths, "Think happy thoughts," she told herself before standing up. She then froze at the sight of the large wolf-like creature that had been sniffing around. It looked up a tree as if it were waiting for something to fall down.
The blue haired Zaunite slowly backed away, trying to find a change in grounds so she could follow the trail. That was when she stepped on a twig causing it to snap. The creature quickly snapped it's head into her direction causing her to let out a small gasp in fear. Like it had before, it slowly stomped towards her. She couldn't move once again. Why? Was it because she didn't have the amount of weapons she usually had? She had her revolver, that's all she needed, right? The rest of her weapons were left in the bag... with Sevika's body.
"Please," Jinx whispered to herself as she closed her eyes. She felt the monster's wrath circling around her as she clenched her jaw and balled up her fists. She felt the sudden bursting of the surface of her skin as her fingernails dug into her palms. After a long period of time, Jinx swore that she heard the creature actually say something.
"Powder...."
Her eyes shot open and she was looking directly into the eyes of the creature. It's claws wrapped around her waist and pushed her against a nearby tree. She kicked and screamed hoping she would get out of the strong grip. She felt it's claws sink into her cut sending her into a wail. The grip released and she fell to the ground sobbing. She looked up at the creature and fell back, the last thing she saw being the large branches of the tree before she passed out.
"Jinx!" An echoey voice shouted. Jinx's vision was blurry, but she swore it was a girl with long blonde hair.
