My Heart, Your Light CH 1

- I want to do right; but not right now.

That was Lux's answer to her older brother, who was now staring at her with an I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that expression.

- So… - Garen started, taking a deep breath. – You are telling me you refused Prince Jarvan's marriage propose because…?

- Because I'm not ready. And because I don't love him.

- Since when that matters? He's the prince! You should feel honored and accept it without even giving it a second thought!

- Well, it matters to me, thank you very much. Besides… I don't even know why you even are bothering that much to try and make me say yes to Prince Jarvan… I mean, I thought you wanted to protect your little sister… - She started to pout lightly; Garen just raised an eyebrow.

- Of course I want to protect you. And that's why I'm saying you should marry him.

- Garen… You know what happens after a wedding right?

- The married couple takes a trip alone called honeymoon. What about it?

- Think with me brother… What happens on the first night the couple spent together…? – Garen's eyes got bigger as he finally got the point; Lux smirked lightly and proceeded. – Do you really want a man to touch your little sister that way?

Garen coughed slightly a bit uncomfortable with the thought; Lux just pretended to sniff in a good attempt to make him feel guilty. After a few minutes of silence, he cleaned his throat and spoke.

- I shall tell mother and father that I was unable to convince you to accept Prince Jarvan's proposal… but don't expect them to be happy with your decision. Should I inform also that you're returning to the League…? – He asked as he noticed the bags full of clothes that were on her bed.

- Yes you may. I came only for a visit; thought I would be staying a few more days but giving the situation is better if I just go away before they lock me here.

- As you wish. But they will probably want to have a word with you about this…

Lux simply shrugged as she grabbed her luggage and started to walk towards the window. Garen sighed deeply.

- So you're just going to avoid any confrontation by jumping down the window… A very mature decision indeed, Lux.

- Hey, I'm your younger sister remember? You are the one who have to act all mature, not me. Besides… - She said, opening the window and looking outside. – I have a carriage waiting near the city's gate. So I need to hurry up; I hate making people wait.

- People...? Who is driving you back to the League, Luxanna? – He asked, with a worried ton on his voice.

- Nah ah, not going to tell you. – She giggled at his expression; he just rolled his eyes at her childish behavior. – Have fun dealing with mother and father, dear brother. I'm out. – She smiled as she threw her luggage out the window, jumping after and landing safely on her feet. Garen just sighed as he closed her window, wondering who was taking her back to the League.

- But first… - He sighed deeply, getting ready for a long night. – To tell mother and father that will be no wedding…

~_~_~

Lux rushed through the streets of Demacia at a rather fast pace. She knew as soon as Garen told their parents that she was leaving the city, the guards would most likely try to intercept her and take her back home. Not to mention that Jarvan wouldn't be that pleasant either… She sighed heavily at the thought, rushing even more her pace. The night was really cold and not a soul could be seen wandering at the streets. She gripped the scarf that was covering her head tight, in a fail attempt to shield herself from the wind; she could swear it was harder and harder to breathe in those conditions. After a few minutes, she finally spotted the city gates… with a few soldiers blocking the way; most likely waiting for her. "Damn, mother and father acted quickly. Now how am I supposed to cross the gates? There's no way...Unless…"  Luxanna hid behind a house near the gates, taking a look around at the surroundings. Luckily, she quickly spotted some objects that could do just what she needed: reflect the light. The plan was very simple: she would make some light be reflected over and over from object to object and, after covering the area with a veil of light, she would use this illusion to hid and leave the gates without even being spotted. She knew it would work perfectly; she wasn't called the Lady of Luminosity for nothing. Quickly using her staff, she made a large string of light hit the first object, being immediately reflected to the second and so on. The soldiers became alert; they knew exactly who was behind all that light and what she was trying to do. But for their misfortune, they did exactly what she wanted: walked inside her illusion. As they tried desperately to find the source of all that light, Lux walked right in front of them, finally crossing the city's gate. Before she could catch her breath, the carriage driver made signal for her to hurry. As she got closer, he opened the door and she got inside. Lux sighed in relief as the carriage finally started to move.

- You look tired… Did you had to run away or something? I was surprised when I got your note; thought you were staying in Demacia for a few more days. – A male voice spoke quietly from the seat in front of her.

- You have no idea… I'll tell you everything in detail if you wish to know. - She smiled lightly as she took the man's hands on her own. – I'm just really glad to see you again… Ezreal.

- And I'm glad to see you again as well Lux. – He smiled back at her, holding her hands gently.
