Smoke And Mirrors

Choices

Tied up and thrown to the floor, Vi couldn't feel any more humiliated. They had been so close to winning this battle, yet LeBlanc's tricks were too much to handle. And so, they had been defeated miserably.

Caitlyn was sitting next to her and Vi expected to be dissapointed in her. But nothing in her expression betrayed such feelings. It goes without saying that she was exhausted, but certainly not dissapointed.

How could still she not be mad at Vi after everything?

"So, now our visitors are comfortable, let's see how we're going to entertain them" LeBlanc spoke, clapping her hands together "C, what do you suggest?"

C's lips were curled into an evil snarl. His dark eyes were locked with Caitlyn's bright ones. Not even when he spoke did he break eye contact.

"I say that we give them a slow and painful death, just exactly how you like it" he spoke.

"That's why I always liked you, C. Our preferences align" LeBlanc said "Alright, let's see... With whom do you think we should start? With this pretty Demacian face over here?"

She approached Lux and capped her chin with her long fingers. Lux tried to resist but LeBlanc was stronger "I wonder how your brother will react when I return your body cut into tiny pieces. Let's see if his ideals will bring you back"

"Screw you" Lux managed to breathe out.

"Sweetheart, your tough attitude won't get you anywhere" LeBlanc mocked her.

"Get your flithy hands off her!"

LeBlanc turned to stare at Ezreal, who was red with fury. He was trying to free his hands, squirming.

"Ease there, lover boy" LeBlanc warned "You don't want something bad to happen to the blondy here, do you?"

Ezreal shut his mouth but his glare remained on the Deceiver. LeBlanc finally let go off Lux's chin and then stopped in front of Caitlyn.

"Or should we start with our old guests?"

Caitlyn didn't respond. But Vi beside her was squirming like Ezreal.

"It would be fun seeing this beast breaking down" Leblanc's eyes drifted towards Vi "And it will be even more fun if it's done my your little friend over there"

Vi followed LeBlanc's gaze towards Blitzcrank. She clenched her teeth. How dare she use the golem for her murderous purposes? She wouldn't allow her, somehow she wouldn't.

"Think Vi, think" the enforcer encouraged herself silently.

"What's your opinion about this idea, C?" LeBlanc's voice brought her back to the real world.

"I think it's a wonderful idea, Emilia" C nodded "Bring the golem here" he ordered his men while LeBlanc grabbed Caitlyn and put her on her feet. Vi only watched in terror while LeBlanc pushed the sheriff towards Blitzcrank. Caitlyn was resisting with all her force but that wasn't enough to escape the Deceiver's grip. Meanwhile, C's men brought Blitzcrank in the scene. The golem seemed to having its own struggles as well, though Vi wasn't sure for how long it could last. Blitzcrank wasn't like them, he wasn't being tortured by feelings.

"What a pity you have to kill your friend" C sneered "Though, I highly doubt what that means"

Blitzrank was frozen in his place, analyzing Caitlyn with his «eyes». Vi wondered what he was processing.

"I'm afraid I can not execute this order" the golem said.

"In that case, we'll have to reprogram you so you will be able to" LeBlanc said coldly "C, can you do so?"
