Noxian Love ((Katarina x Talon)) [REMADE]

Barely Alive

KATARINA
We jump down to the ground, the air rushing in my hair. In the distance, Garen looks over, a surprised expression on his face. Soldiers rush out to the area. I throw daggers at a few, knocking them down. Morgana roots multiple in place, proceeding to break their legs. Talon stabs straight through the armor of the soldiers, killing them instantly. Swain calmly stands, as a horde of ravens eat off of the soldiers, through their helmets. I pounce onto a soldier, stabbing him in the throat. Further away, I spot a few generals retreating towards the back. I sprint towards them, but a hand grabs me from behind. I grunt as I get thrown onto the ground, next to a pile of dead soldiers. I look up to see Garen, my rival. He stabs the sword into the ground while I roll to the side and dodge. I quickly get up and throw a pair of throwing knives at Garen's chest. They drill into his armor, but he's not affected. Just dazed. I quickly jump up and flip over him, slashing his back with my daggers. He flings his left hand behind and knocks me in the breasts, knocking me down. I clench my torso in pain, light tears flow from my eyes. Unbearable pain takes over my chest as I feel my heart in pain. He raises his sword, preparing to end me. I close my eyes, bracing myself. I hear Talon's voice as Garen gets knocked onto the ground. Talon helps me up, and I cough up blood. He gets his cape and wipes the blood off my face. Behind him, I spot Garen getting up. "Watch out!" I warn. Too late. Talon gets slashed, right in his back. I see blood spur out behind him, as he cries out in pain.

Garen's hands slowly move, preparing to Demacian Justice to end Talon. "NO!" I shriek. Without thinking, I Shunpo behind Garen and stab him straight in the back with all my force. His armor cracks in every direction, pieces falling off, revealing that I impaled him through his under-chainmail. Sweat drenches my head, and my breathing is unsteady. As Garen falls onto the ground, I kneel down next to Talon. A large cut forms on his back, his cape completely teared. His eyes open, and a smile is found on his lips. "You did it..." Talon quietly said. My numb cheeks curve into a smile, covered in dirt. I cut my whole left sleeve off, and wrap Talon's back with it. Morgana flies towards us. "What happened?" She asks, her voice filled with worry. Swain walks over, holding a healing potion. "Talon, open your mouth. Drink this, now." Talon slowly struggles to open his mouth, as Swain pours the red liquid into him. "Did you kill any officers or generals?" I shakily ask. Morgana nods, "We killed five, and one escaped. I'm afraid that our driver is dead, though." She points to an armored body, blood spilling out. "Tis a bloody battle," Swain remarks. I look back down at Talon, his eyes still barely open. "Please, stay awake for me..." My voice shakes. A loud noise in the distance provokes the silence. Soldiers. The Demacian base had more soldiers, hidden somewhere inside. One general stands there, his mouth in a smirk. He holds a blade pointed at us, signaling the soldiers to get us. Swain quickly transforms into a colossal raven, and flaps his wings, throwing wind towards the soldiers. They fall to the ground, dropping their weapons. "Go to the wagon! I'll catch up once you get it going!" He orders.  Morgana carries Talon with her spells, while I sprint towards the wagon. I Shunpo into the seat, and quickly turn it on. Morgana lays Talon in the seats, and sits in the car. Swain, in bird form flies to the car. Once he makes it to the seat, he turns to human form. We drive away from the soldiers, with Talon barely alive.
