Katarina
I carried Annie into my arms as I saw her skin turning pale and her breathing became weaker than I had imagined. Seeing her hurt like this filled my heart with immense pain as tears forced out of my eyes and wondered what I had done to face this consequence? I can't... I was crying over someone who was about ten years younger which is making me so emotional. Maybe I trusted her and believed in her too much that I couldn't let her go. When my brother was badly hurt, I remain a neutral emotion without any sorrow or anger but why was that? Because of his cockiness, I slowly lost trust in him as a brother and I never loved him that much to appreciate the things he does. But Annie was different from Talon. She felt like a real sister to me who was there for me and never left my side. I remembered when she was so loud and ignorant ten years ago but she has really changed to someone different. She was so nice, caring, friendly, and still cute like her ten-year-old self. But now here she was, nearly dead in my arms and a feeling of regret and guilt filled me as I sat there crying in the dark hallway. I too did not thank her for everything she had done for me and I knew I should've thanked her sooner or later but it was already too late. I slammed the ground in anger as I gritted my teeth together. Stupid me! I turned to Leblanc with rage building inside of me and it wanted me to slice her slowly, piece by piece to show her not to mess with my little sister. I quickly grabbed my daggers as I ran towards Leblanc with full speed and screamed a war cry.
"You bitch! You'll pay for what you done!" I screamed as I shun po to her and tried to stab her body but she had disappeared, leaving a trail of purple cloud. It took me a second to realize that it was a clone as I saw her carrying Annie in her arms. "Don't touch her!" I threw my blade at her but she dodged it with ease as she winked playfully and disappeared again. I threw my blade down to the floor in anger and cursed out loud as I sat against a pillar crying on my knees. I couldn't believe I had lost her. I'm too weak to save anyone, I couldn't even save Annie.
"You have given up already?" asked a familiar warming voice as I looked up to see a friend of mine who also had been there for me. Ashe stood against a pillar across from me while leaning against the pillar behind her with her arms crossed. She smiled her usual warm-hearted smile and it really reminds me of Annie but maybe their personality was the same. A small white strand of hair fell over her face as she took a finger and moved it over. Ashe had raised Annie ever since she lost her parents and maybe had taught her how to be kind to others. Ashe always made things better for me, but even if she was gone and away from this world, I would still have the child that she raise. Now that I think about it, I need to be more responsible and independent.
"Ashe? What are you doing here? Where are the others?" I asked softly and Ashe slowly walked towards me. She grabbed her arrow from her quiver as she took a deep breath and continue walking towards me. My eyes stare at her arrow in her hand in fear, wondering what she was going to do with the arrow.
"They're waiting outside. But I want to know why you and Annie isolated from the group and tried to save Talon yourselves," she said as Ashe took the arrow and drew the arrow on her bow pointing at me. "What were you two thinking? What were you thinking letting my child wander off with you like that? She's now lost and gone! Don't you-" I couldn't help but to interrupt her with words of surrender.
"Go ahead, shoot me. I deserve it after what I have done," I said. I notice Ashe had flinch by my command and saw her hesitation let go of the bow. "What are you waiting for? Shoot me!" I yelled as I stood up and stared at her. I sense fear in her face as she dropped her bow in startle and I began to realize that this was the first time I ever raise my voice against her. She was a kind friend that couldn't yell at but I didn't know if this moment was a good idea to raise my voice. "Don't you understand Ashe? I deserve this. All of this was my fault! I couldn't even save my sister, your child! Doesn't that make you want to kill me right now!" Ashe stayed quiet for a moment as her eyes wander to the floor. "Pathetic,"
"No... I don't want to hurt you Katarina. But for Annie's sake, I am worried. I can't believe Leblanc took her like that I just..." Ashe paused as she began to sob with sadness. Tears rained from her eyes like a storm that has been hit and it hurts to see her cry like this. Ashe had never cried before, she had always stayed joyful and positive most of the time. Seeing her cried gave me no choice but to wrap my arms around her in comfort.
"Don't worry, I'll get Annie back. I promise you that," I swore as Ashe began to cry silently on my shoulders.
Meanwhile...
Annie
W-where am I? My eyes slowly open from the darkness and stare at the dark cloudy up ahead causing me to assume if it was really going to rain at this moment. I tried to remember what had happened before I had collapsed. When the pieces in my head began to unfold, my eyes grew wide in panic as I looked around quickly to find myself in a bed with covers over my legs. Katarina, what happened to her? The urge to find her cause me to quickly get off the bed and rushed out of the door until a lady with short purple hair stood in the way. She wore a dark cloak, had black mascara around her glowing yellow eyes and lines coming down from mascara as she held her magic staff in front of her. LeBlanc, I told myself. I took a step back in fear as I prepared my fire from my palms. Something was unusual though as if she didn't mean nay harm but could I really trust her?
"It looks like you're awake. Feeling any better?" said LeBlanc with a soft voice.
"W-what do you want from me?" I asked as I felt my voice shaking in fear and my heart was beating quickly. I noticed that Tibbers was placed on the table across the room behind LeBlanc when she came in, which was a perfect chance for me to call him out even if I didn't have him in my hands. It may sound silly but just two years ago, I discovered that I could simply summon Tibbers by simply imaging him explode in my mind. I just had to...
"I'm not trying to hurt you if that's what you mean," LeBlanc replied as I saw her eyes travel down to the corner of the room and notice a sad smile on her face. I knew that smile, it was a smile of regret and it seems so familiar to me but I had no idea where I saw that smile from. I tried to picture all the people I knew who had that smile; Ashe, Nunu, Katarina, Lulu, Amumu. None of them had a warm smile so mysterious like her. "Don't you remember what you have said to me?" I stopped and look away from her in thought as my body no longer tensed up. What did I say to her that was was so important? What did I say that cause her to spare me? The only time I talked to her was when I accidentally bumped into her when I was ten but the memory wasn't clear enough for me to understand. What made me feel convince that she was telling the truth was the slight laugh that was heard from that memory, the laugh of happiness and joy which soften my heart. It made want to give her mercy, but why? Why did it make me feel this way? She walked closer but I made no attempt to stop her as I stood there frozen with my eyes softly looking at her. She crouched down and gently place a kiss on my cheeks, causing me to widen my eyes. Another small memory began to play with my head as I saw the two of us playing together and the sound of yelling and laughing rang into my ears.
"Come on sis! Catch up!" yelled LeBlanc
"Alright! I'm coming!" my ten-year-old self-cried back
I looked at LeBlanc in shock and she looked back worriedly.
"Sis? You were the first person that I called sis?" I whispered silently and LeBlanc sent me another mysterious warm smile.
"Yes. You remembered little sis,"
