Hexed (Vi x POC! Reader)

Disjointed

"I've already explained it to you. They were bad people!" Vi starts pacing around the room.

"She didn't even give them a chance, Vi!"

"We don't know what was said, we only saw what she did. Hawk is a good person. I know her!"

"Respectfully Vi, no, you don't. You think you know her. I'm almost positive she has something to do with the concert explosion a few days ago. She has a weapon that matches some of the marks on the deceased victim! Those. . .Those claw things that she had on her fingers the other day!" Caitlyn stresses to her. You feel the breath get knocked out of you. 'No one should have noticed the marks. His body was messed up before I did that, and it would've been easy to miss. Was she at the concert? Is that how she saw the marks?' Vi stops pacing and looks at her. You can't see her expression well enough. Caitlyn steps closer to Vi, "You need to listen to me. You're blinded by the fact that she's your ex-girlfriend and that you have some history together. I get it, it's not an easy thing to process, but it's true." They stare at each other in silence. Your anxiety rises as you wait for Violet's response. Vi sighs and places her hands on Caitlyn's shoulders, "Maybe... Maybe you're right. Maybe I don't know her." Vi admits, "Maybe I am blinded."

You stop breathing. Caitlyn moves closer to Vi as they gaze at each other. Vi didn't even try to defend you. You wait for her to continue talking but they stand there gazing at each other.

"Thank you." Caitlyn sighs. 'Oh.' Tears sting your eyes as you whip around and rush back to your bungalow. Your magic fizzles out, dropping your illusion as you run. Your feet pound loudly against the deck and the sound rattles in your ears. Suddenly, Ekko appears in front of you as he walks out from the stairway. He yelps when he nearly crashes into you. You jump onto the railing as he leaps back and you don't stop your stride.

"SISSY?!" Ekko calls to you.

You fumble with the doorknob as your vision blurs, and once you're inside you stand blankly in the middle of the room. 'I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid! Obviously, Vi isn't going to want to spend every moment with me. She literally got out of prison two days ago. She's going to want to go and do things. She's going to want to explore different connections!' You start hyperventilating as your chest gets tight. You miss the knock at your door as you let out a sob. 'She didn't even defend me. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe she cares more for Caitlyn than me... She thought I was dead up until a few days ago. It's only natural she moves on.' You struggle to catch your breath as something constricts your throat. 'She and I aren't together anymore. She can be interested in whoever she wants. Besides, sex is just sex. I - of all people - should know that. I know she wouldn't ignore the chance to be intimate, intimacy that was offered up freely. Of course, she'd accept the invitation. . . ' You look down at your trembling hands and force yourself to breathe. 'Fuck, I need to get away from here.'

You wipe away your tears and think about the only other safe place you could go. It only takes a second before a rift opens and you stagger through it. You don't stop as Jinx's place appears and you see her lounging on the couch. She lazily raises her head and gives you a very discouraged wave. Her eyes are tinged red, showing that she had been crying.

"Hey, Hex..." Jinx sighs and drops her hand.

"I guess we're both in a bad mood." You laugh weakly as you drop onto the couch and snuggle with her. This wasn't anything new. You and Jinx always did this to comfort each other. At this point, it was practically mechanical, an automatic instinct.

"A bad mood is putting it lightly. My sister - who I thought was dead - reappeared after six years with a Piltie. Silco lied to me about my sister being dead, and tried to hide it from me when I interrogated him. And, my sister's new girlfriend stole the gemstone from me!" Jinx hands you the edge of the blanket and you slip underneath, "What's your issue?"
