DAYBREAK - open; purged sickness

[buckingham barnes]

Throughout his life, the maine coon hasn't contracted any serious physical illnesses. Sure, the former assassin gets a cold, or maybe a fever, every once and awhile, but they never got to a point where he feared they'd take his life. Despite how fluffy he looks, there's a lot of muscle under his skin. He's strong, not just physically- his immune system knows how to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses more than he realizes. While he's grateful that he hasn't caught any life-threatening diseases, he feels upset when others aren't as lucky. Especially if those others are his friends and family, he will get nervous to no end. Bucky is useless, useless in medical situations. What happens in the medics can't save his friend? What if they try everything they can do, and they still loose their patient? What if Marina dies? What if he never hears his friend's voice again? These worries brew up in his chest, getting heavier and heavier with each passing day.

The commotion inside Marina's home grabbed the maine coon's attention. It first started with Marina's screams- he could hear her more due to his enhanced senses. In that moment he heard her cry out for him, Venus, and that plea- Bucky's plans to patrol the territory were abandoned. The male made his way to Marina's home as quickly as he could, not even caring if his paw steps were noticeable at the moment. As he approached the house, he could hear several voices inside with multiple scents mixing with a repulsive smell. His nose crunched up at the stench, but that wasn't going to stop him. He continued moving forward, padding up to the open door and entering the home. "Move out of the way!" He ordered two npcs who stood in front of him- which both made the smart decision to move to the side. The maine coon padded through, eventually making it to the front of the mini crowd. And not too long after, his gaze landed on Marina, who Ichigo was currently cutting the chains off of. Bucky stared for a few moments, eyeing the black liquid on the ground and then onto his friend's unconscious form. Worry instantly blazed in his eyes, the worst possible scenarios running through his head.

He doesn't want to find out she dead. Oh god, please no- he can't stumble upon her corpse again. His gaze snaps over to Crypticwhisper, an invisible eyebrow raising at the mention of holy water. Bucky knew she was sick, but he wasn't aware that something demonic could have been involved. Besides seeing his parents ghosts(which could have been hallucinations), the male doesn't believe in ghosts or anything supernatural. Maybe this would help change his mind, usually holy water isn't used to heal someone from a bad case of influenza. "Will she be okay? She's not dead, right?"
