Astrum was sound asleep.
(Wow Astrum.
Shame.)
Astrum was sound asleep.
(Wow Astrum.
Shame.)
Her body suddenly went limp. She'd passed out from the pain and exhaustion.
Luca grunted and scooped her up. "Why am I always left to take care of you?" He paused. "Wait no you take care of me."
At once, Missy regained consciousness. Her eyes flickered, and she looked faintly up at Luca's face. "Huh? What… happened?"
Cato, though reluctant to leave Jordan’s side, climbed down from the roof, jumping the last two feet. “Is she ok?”
"I think so." Luca looked down at her. "You passed out drama queen."
Missy tightened her face into a scowl, even though the pain nearly blinded her. "Shut up." Blood trickled into her mouth.
Luca rolled his eyes. "Get your handkerchief. There's blood on your face."
“That doesn’t look OK,” Cato said, gesturing to the blood on Missy’s face. He fumbled with his belt for a second before pulling a roll of bandages out of his pocket. “For emergencies.” He offered them to Luca.
Missy's arm swiped for her handkerchief and missed. Blindly, she tried again. Her mind unraveled. Poison. There was poison on the claws and now it's in my blood. She didn't want Luca to worry, so she stayed quiet.
"Thanks. How am I supposed to wrap her when I'm carrying her? Let's go see Astrum." He pushed through the revolving door. "Hey Ass! Get your ass over here!"
“Fast please!”
Missy's eyes rolled back and her head lolled lazily around.
Luca cringed. "Hang in there Missy. Please."
“Wait wha?” Astrum asked sleepily.
"Aliens." Luca replied. "Help her please."
“Aliens? Seri-“ Astrum began and froze when he saw the blood, “Ah.” Then he ran off and returned with a box. “Lay her down, also you might want to lock all entrances.”
"Right." Luca set her down gently. He locked the revolving door into place and locked all the windows.
Astrum cleaned off the blood and looked for wounds. “Hey how did the alien attack her?”
"It was a blur." Luca put his head in his hands. "I think he got her in the abdomen."
Astrum winced, “That sounds painful.” He sanitized the wounds, but was not told that there was poison in her blood. Honestly, even if he knew, he couldn’t do much.
Luca stared down at Missy. "Will she live?"
Missy felt a sharp pain that drew her back to reality. She bit her tongue to fend off a scream and tasted more blood. Great.
Luca jumped up. "She's alive! Hallelujah!"
She felt the poison making her veins heavy.
(I feel like she should pull a Trelawny… give an ominous speech about the future in a voice that's not her own.)
