Tell you I'm sorry | Private Leona

[Hope Arcanium]

Anger took over fear at this point, as Leona had felt like the vampire was throwing all the fault onto her when she didn't even remember a damn thing about shoving her paw in his face.

"No! I didn't shove my paw in your damn face! You tackled me and started taking my fucking blood."

Her eyes flashed a scarlet hue, only for a split second, before Leona continued on, only after taking the basket hesitantly. "I never, ever fucking told you to take my blood. And if I ever do, it will be so you can fucking choke on it."

Suddenly, Leona began to cough, leaning on a nearby tree for support as she caught the droplets with her paws.

She froze.

Blood.

No. No no no, this couldn't be happening! What was wrong with her?! A sharp, stabbing pain jolted down her spine and she let out a pained cry. She slowly leaned down into a laying position, exposing her back to Blu and Infirmaryward.

A visible cut could be seen on the back of her neck, which had begun to scar up. Nothing too unusual, until they decided to travel down her back and see the faint outline of a scorpion like parasite meshed with her spinal cord and beginning to develop. The parasite, or strange entity in this case, twitched just once, sending Leona crying out to the sky.

"W-What the fuck is happening to me?! BLU! BLU I-" She wasn't able to finish the sentence, as she had passed out, but did take the basket with her.
