My Cupcake

The Battle

Caitlyns POV:

Everybody knew what was coming, but nobody was quite ready for it. Both forces topside and down prepared to die for their cause, and I was a part of it. After my mother's death, I vowed to try and help others from the same fate. I'll admit I blindly followed Ambessa, but I realize now that she didn't want peace, she wanted war. She didn't want people to die or fight for peace she wanted to feed off of the fear chaos brings.

The battle had started guns and fists flying in the air people either running towards or away from a threat it was nothing short of gruesome. It was disheartening watching people who believed they were here for the same ideas of peace and stability fight and harmed for quite the opposite.

I had my gun drawn, only shooting at those I knew were harming the cause while also dodging and ducking to avoid a hit. I moved through the crowd of people pushing shoving and occasionally throwing people out of my way when everything stopped.

Through the chaos and echos of armor and fists, the sound of metal cutting into Vi and her cry after marked itself in my mind, and in all but seconds, all the sounds faded away, and I felt paralyzed. All I could hear was a high-pitched white noise ringing loudly in my brain, and I was moving forward as quickly as humanly possible before I could even process my legs moving.

I ran towards her with Jinx, surpassing me to catch her on the ground, but she got caught up in another fight. I may not like Jinx she killed my mother and several others, but she knows that despite my dislike for her, she knows how much deep down I care about Vi and that she was safe with me.

The sound of fighting came back as I got closer to Vi not hesitating to help get her off the ground and try to apply pressure to her wound.

Vi POV:

I was punching and kicking back and forth back and forth, trying to end what was started. As punched and punched, my body felt cold as I realized the piece of metal that pierced through my side and fell to the ground, feeling the blood pour out. As I lay there, I heard two familiar voices approaching Powder and Cait. Powder fades off, but Cait comes to get me off the ground.

Despite all the arguments, the disagreements, and the time apart, she still came to help me. I heard her call out for me and mustered up enough strength to yell back as I faded in and out of consciousness. All I could see were flashes of memories, and I could see Caitlyn laying on her bed looking at me with her big beautiful blue eyes before we got so caught up in all of this..

Vi: Cait.. I-

Cait: I know, let's just get help, then we can talk.

She managed to get us back to an infirmary where they laid me down applied pressure to stop the bleeding, and through my last moments of consciousness, I stuck my hand out Caitlyn trying to stay with her as long as possible.

Cait POV:

I waited at the infirmary for 2 days, only leaving to shower. The doctors said the hit came dangerously close to puncturing her lungs and that she may need a few weeks to get back to normal. I waited by her bed, trying to keep my composure and keep from crying. It had been so long since we shared a bed, and I haven't gotten to feel her or see her this close.

She still had the slit in her eyebrows and the scar on her lip. Her tattoos cascaded up her arm and around her back, complementing her muscles. Her stray pieces of hair fell so delicately on her face. Her calloused hands from punching and fighting.

She was so beautiful, and even after everything she's been through, which is more than most people ever go through, she was still such a loving, kind person. I'm not even sure if she still liked me. I know how I feel about Vi but I've hurt her so deeply that I'm not sure if she can forgive me. I promised her I would never change, and then I did, and I could see how much it hurt her, but I was selfish and took my frustration about her sister out on her and hurt her more..
