Summary:Happy Birthday. When you're Jinx, there's nothing about her birth that makes her happy.

That is until a certain Firelight leader comes along to surprise her.

Author's Note: I had this fic idea for 4 months thinking: "Oh, well, it's June. I'm sure I'll have Chapter 1 finished by or before October." 🤡🔫💥

Until the fic is actually finished, here's a snippet of chapter 1!

*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

Children were squealing and chasing each other. People hollered and laughed as they zoomed on their hoverboards and chattering below.

Jinx was turning nineteen today.

Now she had no one.

Maybe except Ekko but who's to say? Not her, that's for sure.

She killed so many of his comrades. He most likely rued the day she was born and irreparably destroyed their lives.

She should have stayed in her room to sleep away this horrible day. She put her clock down on her nightstand and planned on avoiding any more to make the day go faster.

A question popped into her brain before she can stop it.

I wonder where Vi is?

Where's Vi? You know damn well where she is. She berated herself

'You're so stupid. She's with that enforcer woman, Caitlyn. They're both hunting you down.' Mylo told her.

'They won't stop until you're thrown in Stillwater. She'll let Caitlyn take her revenge before they do. Once they get rid of you they'll ride off into the sunset while you rot away.' He jeered.

Vi.

Vi

Vi

Vi

Vi

Vi

She's What You Despies.

She left you Traumatized.

She found a new Life.

SHE STABBED YOU IN THE BACK LIKE A KNIFE!

YOU DON'T NEED VI!

A SISTER ALWAYS LIES!

"Jinx?"

She shook her head and blinked back into reality. Ekko stood face to face with her on his hoverboard, her eyes met his brown ones, wide in alarm.

"Huh?"

"You're too close to the edge."

Her upper body hang off the scaffolding. She tightened the tip of the switchblade between her teeth.

"Oh." She murmured. She grabbed the platform and then sat up.

Ekko placed his hand over his heart and sighed in relief. "You scared me. I thought you were going to fall."

"Oh." She repeated lamely.

It really wasn't a big deal if she did fall. Dying on her birthday would be ironic and pretty funny anyway.

He furrowed his eyebrows and frowned at her flippant reaction. "Are you okay?"

Jinx scoffed.

Okay.

At that moment she couldn't recall ever feeling okay.
