(Chapter 1-Blood Pact)

(3 years before Elise joins the league)

Their was a small town, awfully quiet, its street filled with dimly lit lamp posts. No one was stirring in the night as it was near midnight, well, almost no one. In a small secluded house on the edge of town there were several figures, 2 of them in coats and three in chains together. Standing in front of them was a woman wearing a red dress. The night was slightly breezy.

"Just pick whichever one ya want missy." The tall figure said as he jiggled the chain, signaling for the slaves to gather up and stand to attention.

The tall man had a big black ruff looking beard. His nose was redder then a tomato. He had on a dark trench coat. His associate wore a light brown coat with white gloves on and white boots. He had curly blonde hair and a shit eating grin that only a blind mother could love.

The chained people, known as slaves, were lining up expertly without muttering a word. The slaves consisted of a white skinny blonde woman, a pale white short girl who couldn't have been any older than 9 and a slightly skinny but lean Carmel skinned man. They all wore dirty looking white shirts with ragged pants that had seen better days.

Elise walked over to the three slaves and eyed them each carefully. She looked into the white blonde woman's green eyes and saw fear and hope. She sneered at her in disgust before turning her attention to the short pale girl. In her brown eyes she saw dependency and tears being held back. Now she was agitated. They had promised her good slaves to choose from and so far all she had seen was weakness. She honestly shouldn't have been surprised; they were noxian traders after all.

The other man saw her sigh of irritation and quickly spoke up.

"If they're not your type then this one should do you just right." He said as he strutted over and placed a gloved white hand on the Carmel slave's back in a mockingly friendly manor.

The Carmel man remained silent and merely stood at attention looking at the woman, the only signs of life being his even breathig intakes showing through his shirt.

"You talk when spoken too!" The blonde man yelled as he pulled a whip from his side, raising it to whip the ignorant bastard.

"Wait a minute." Elise said sternly, raising a hand. She walked over and looked the man straight in his blue eyes. She saw nothing at first, then she saw it; a flicker of hate. "Perfect" she thought as she stood up and clasped her hands. "I'll take him." she said cutely as if she was at a pet store.

The tall man scratched his beard before giving a wicked smile, showing his yellow stricken teeth saying "I'll give him to yer for sixty- three coins."

The woman smiled as she pulled out a small sack of coins and dropped it in the man's outstretched hand.

The man jingled the bag quite rudely in front of her before giving his partner the sign. His partner produced a key from his pocket and undid the lock for Curtis's chains. After a loud click the slave was free, only to be thrown in the hands of his new master.

The blonde man had explained to Elise about the shock collar and that there were different settings and whatnot, at least tried to before she waved her hand at him. Saying it won't be necessary.

" are you sure ma'm-

" trust me darlings, I'm fine, but I appericate the thought" smirking at the men.

Curtis flexed his hands and looked at his new master.
She was wearing a red and black dress that showed off her curves quite nicely though there was something offsetttling about her. Whether be her pale skin, her pale dark red lips or her dark red hair he did not know. But what troubled him the most was her dark crimson eyes that not only showed trouble, they begged for it.

"Come" she said commandingly, smiling as he followed her inside. She waved him in her house before turning around and smirking to the noxian, "pleasure doing business with you".

"Likewise" They both replied as they made their way to the next town, pulling the remaining slaves lazily with them.

Elise closed the door and sighed. She turned around to face the man she just brought. "Tell me everything about you and leave nothing out." Saying commandingly with her arms crossed.

"My name is Curtis. I was born in a small village off the boarder of Demacia. My family was killed during a war between them and the noxian. After everything was said and done I was found and I was put into slavery since I was 14"Pausing to finish the process of sitting Indian style on the floor."I've-

"no" she said sternly, interrupting Him as she gestured to chairs. "You may sit wherever you choose."

A bit shocked, the slave took a sit in an in-what he concluded was the living room- a comfy chair. He waited for his master to sit on the couch before saying a thank you.

"Please continue, Curtis was it?"

"yes ma'm. Not much to say after that honestly. I've been a slave for about 6 years." He lied. He didn't want to tell her everything.

"You've been a slave for six years?" She asked strangely.

"No one ever wanted me. I did a little work for people here and there while I traveled with the charming people that sold me "he shrugged.

She couldn't help the smirk that crept on her face at the comment. She leaned in her chair and asked a hint of humor in her voice "do you feel up for meeting a god?" She asked, mischievously.

The man looked straight in Elise's eyes and spoke with so much conviction it was incredulous.

"There is no god"

" we shall see what- but she was interrupted by a knock on the door. She sighed and got up, brushing invisible dirty off herself before answering the door.

"Hello madam Elise" a pair of robe wearing individuals said in unison.

"Hello, my fateful" she said in sickeningly sweet tone.

She sighed inwardly as she had up to here with them constantly visiting her. A few more days and she will get rid of them, along with gaining immortality once again. She smiled to herself at the last part.

"we couldn't sleep, were so excited" one of them said in a voice that sounded like nails to a chalkboard.

"Maybe some tea would calm all of your nerves." Gesturing for them to enter her home; she would spike the tea with a sleep inducing spark or something along those lines.

As the young man and woman filed in they were met with the site of Curtis sitting in the chair.

"Who is this madam Elise?" The woman inquired while looking at the man questioningly.

"He's my new slave. He will be accompanying us on the last part of journey." She said as she closed the door.

"Whatever you wish madam" she said as she took a seat on the couch with her friend.

Elise strolled to her kitchen and pulled out a tea pot. In no time at all she had a pot of tea boiling on the stove as she returned to her living room to find her slave's eyes trained and focused on her as soon as she entered the doorway. She returned the intense gaze, pondering as he swiftly turned his head away. She crossed her arms as she made her way over near Curtis to sit in a love seat not too far from him.

The room was deathly quite as no one neither seemed to want to talk nor cared too, merely content with reading and analyzing other. After a short while more of silence the young robed follower spoke up.

"I can't wait, till we meet the spider god madam Elise" the young man said softly, his voice laced with obvious excitement and anxiousness.

Elise opened her eyes, them being closed and shot a soft smile towards the young man, "as he you, I have spoken much about him to you David. He can't wait till he meets all of you my children " She chirped, filling the hopeless teens with false praise. She raised her hands in the air and spoke. Something in a alien accent.

Curtis looked around, confusion and curiosity plastered on his face as he took in the scene.
The trio was bowing their heads in silence as if they were praying.

"Fools."Curtis thought pittly as he simply tried to ignore the scene as if it wasn't happening.

Curtis had lost faith over the years as a slave. Many nights he would sit in his makeshift bed praying and begging god to just talk to him...just to talk to him, only to receive nothing but silence. He decided long ago there was no god; there was nobody on this forsaken pile of rock except for us and nature.

He lived for no one. There was no one that cared if he died and there was no one he cared for if they died. He, like many nights were used to being only, truly alone.

Elise stopped her chanting and lowered her arms, adoring a wicked smile.

The two followers raised their heads and praised her for a good prayer session.

Curtis could not help how sickening it was how the people hanged off her every word. Behind their voices seeped desperation; He keep his mouth shut though, the last thing he wanted to do was piss off his new master.

After the prayer session they all drinked tea. Elise had told them upfront that she had put special herbs in it so that they could sleep, to which they thanked her generously. The pair of cultist was making their way of Elise house, both a bit sleepy as the tea was doing its job.

"Good night madam Elise" the young girl said sleepily as she stretched rather profoundly.

"Goodnight my sweets" she cooed before closing the door and sighing in relief. She crossed her arms and returned to sitting on the couch, planting her eyes back on this mysterious man. "Curtis, I Want you to tell me everything. If I find out something about you that you didn't tell me, you will be punished." She said intimidatingly.

Curtis shivered at the woman's threat, the way she spoke and the way her eyes looked into his dared him to keep something from her.

He gulped loudly before saying in the most even tone he could muster "I'm a descendant of the greatest mage of my village,Slifer.

"Ohhhh, can you do any magic tricks?"

Curtis stood up and split into two, making him and his other half stand there as she examined him.

Elise was amazed at the moment. This man had the power to split himself into not only two but exact copies as well. She held back her excitement as she asked "so how does this work personality wise?"

"it's like a hive bee connection kind of thing. I put my being into one of them and the rest follow.

"Rest?". She inquired with a raised brow.

He clasped his hands together and him and his double split again and him just one more time. After all was done there were five Curtis's standing there, all looking exactly the same with each of them adoring collars.

Elise stepped back and commanded "I want you to do something synchronized if you can."

Curtis brought up his hand and closed it, ordering the rest to do the same motion in milliseconds.

Elise couldn't help the dark grin plastered on her face. She was going to fed the man to her master and take one of her followers as a slave but he was way more useful than those pitiful excuses for cultist, not to mention easy on the eyes. She sat back in her chair and guessed "I'm going to assume that that duo of idiots didn't know about this?"

"Nope" he said chilly.

"You are something" she said as she stroked her chin in thought. If they had found out what he could do they definitely wouldn't have sold him for so low. "Anything else?"

Curtis, at this point threw in the towel, her scrutinizing gaze was too much. He showed her that he could conjure weak fire. The last thing he told her he could do was shape shift into almost any animal.

Elise looked at him crazily as she practically yelled "if you can transform into a animal then why are you still a slave?"

Curtis put a hand to the collar and said "those asshats got the one size fits all. Plus I couldn't kill them; if I did when they die I would die with them too." He transformed into a kitten to prove his point. The collar responded in seconds shrinking down to fit the new size, magical sparks firing off.

"Amazing" was all she muttered before she made her way and bended a little to examine him." Stand on your two feet." She ordered and concluded that he could understand her when he
complied.

She backed up and ordered him to return to his human form. She briefly pondered if he's clothes would return and was thankful that they did. She didn't have men's clothes, and she doubted hers could fit his form. She breathed deeply and reached into her pocket for the collar key. "Hold still" she whispered before reaching around unbuckling his collar.

If she was going to earn a loyal slave then she would have to show trust. She was astonished but not afraid of him if he chose to go rampant.

Curtis didn't know what to say at that point. She had just taken the only thing holding him back from outright murdering her or just leaving. He stared into her eyes and was put his senses on alert when he saw her flash a smile at him.

Elise backed up and dropped the collar on the floor. She would have to test the man to see if he was trustworthy, after all she would be spending eternity with him as master and slave.

"You are no longer my slave" she says slowly. She takes in his eyes questioning gaze before continuing, outstreching her hand towards him." what I offer you now is my hand in eternity, serve me and I promise you will have your revenge of the Noxian and Demacians. I warn you though, I'm not a saint" laughing to herself.

"Immortality...revenge...?" he muttered to himself before looking up and meeting Elise's eyes. "sure, why not" he said, smiling and outstretching his hand only for her to pull back Her's.

"before we make a deal, I have to ask... are you afraid of spiders." She asked slowly; this was the last test and she was really hoping that he didn't have arachnophobia or thought they were disgusting, after all she would have to turn him into one if he was to be accepted by her master as her slave.

Curtis scratches his chin and replies" no I don't have a problem with them, if anything I think they're pretty cool" he said , meeting his eyes with the red head.

"Perfect" she said darkly before allowing her true form to show. She held herself before being covered in magical webs. She let her natural self flourish out of its bounds.

"Hey Elise, are you ok?" He yelled as he was about to run towards the cocoon with the red tint, but just as quickly as it appeared it had disappeared in a red and black mist. He's eyes widened at what he saw.

Their stood Elise but she was completely different from the one he saw before. The most noticeable if was he four spider legs protruding from her back. She was wearing a black and red silk outfit hugged her form tightly. The outfit had spider like designs all over it, making her look beautiful and deadly. She wore a headpiece of some sort on top of her head that covered most her red hair for the most part. She had talon like hands, the nails bearing a menacingly blood color, as if it could drip from them at a moments notice. For the most part everything else still withheld the human characteristics.

"Wow" was all he muttered as he took in her form. He turned away and tried to hold in the blush that was creeping on his face.

"Awww, how cute" she said mockingly as she looked at him looking around at anything but her. "I'm sorry but I don't have time for crushes" she said darkly.

"don't flatter yourself; I was just surprised" crossing his arms and meeting her eyes.

"done being surprised?" She teased and laughed when he waved her off.

He ignored her teasing and asked bluntly "is that all?"

" one more thing and then I'm done. I do applaud you for not pissing your pants so far."

Curtis stood there and stared at the red mist that appeared around her like before. He stood his ground as he looked into the crimson eyes of a black and red human sized spider. It looked absolutely deadly with its piercing red eyes and its sleek black legs. Its red markings all over it only fueled the predatory feeling it emitted.

"Elise" he muttered softly. He wasn't scared nor was he shocked, if anything he was peaceful as, what he assumed was Elise, skittered up to him. He didn't flinch as she connected a web to the ceiling; a hairs breath away from him and raised herself to meet eye contact level.

"Are you afraid of me? " a dark And twisted voice echoed from the spider.

"No, I'm not afraid" the man calmly, as he continued to keep the eye contact.

"Good" she said before transforming back into her human form and landing on her feet in front of the man. " this will hurt a lot." She said

Before the man could protest Elise had sunk her vampiric like teeth into his neck. She clutched him in both her human and spider arms as she injected her blood into him.

Curtis struggled a bit in her arms for a second before he started feeling dizzy. The last thing he saw was the woman's crimson eyes and blood drizzling from down chin.

"Welcome to my web" she whispered
