Leuko : Blind to the Sunshine

Chapter 8 : Coward Only Scream

Chapter 8: Coward only scream

I can't breathe...I need to breathe!

I try to swim up from the waves of blood, but no matter what I try to do, I only sink deeper inside the crimson.

"Why?"

I heard a voice close to my ear before suddenly sinking even faster.

I tried to swim, but a skeletal hand grabbed my arm. I turned my head only to come face to face with a red skeleton.

Before anything, another hand grabbed my throat and pierced it, and another one took hold of my leg and tore it into shreds, my arm was removed from my body.

They destroyed everything, the only I had left were my eyes...eyes that allowed me to see that this infinite sea had a bottom...

A bottom filled with skeletons that were all waiting for me, with their arm raised high waiting for the gift from hell.

I couldn't think anything of it, I could only observe as they slowly grabbed both of my eyes and slowly caressed them...

I don't know what happened after, as I found myself at the surface...waiting to sink again into its depths.

Nurse Joy was currently sitting on her knee applying some medicine by needle into Sonia as Leon watched her with worry.

"Will she be fine?"

"Of course, she will be fine, she's only sleeping out of exhaustion from the stress her body had, she would probably wake up very soon." Joy explained with a smile as put away her equipment and raised.

"And what about you, do you need any help?"

"What? Oh no...I'm fine..."

"Are you sure? You must been tired from all this."

"As a future champion, I can never get tired!"

"Who said that?"

"Eh...well myself...a master needs to be always ready...shouldn't he?"

"A true master knows how to take care of himself as much as he takes care of others."

Leon looked at her in shock before lowering his head. "I'm sorry..."

"Please don't be sad, you should be happy instead! You just succeeded in a hard exam that got even harder because of someone!"

She glared at Volo but he completely ignored her, which made her sigh.

"Euh..."

"Don't worry, I child like you shouldn't have to worry about that." She reassured him by petting his head.

"Ah!"

"Oh sorry, do you not like that?"

Joy removed her hand with an apologetic face.

"No... it's just I'm not used to receiving one, I'm usually giving them..."

"Every master has the right the receive headpat, don't worry about it."

Leon looked bashful as Joy gave him another headpat before she stood up. "Tell me if she wakes up alright, I want to make sure she's fine."

"Right! I will...also...would you know how my friend is doing...he said he would come here first, but I still don't see him..."

"Oh, right you can't see them."

Joy took up her phone and contacted a number. "Olympia, could you give me some of these orbs please?"
