ARC 3 - Blood Queen Part 12

◇

My strength has been so depleted that even though I became aware of the bullet, I couldn't move in time to get out of the way.

"Elena!" Dion shouted.

However, I was not hit by the bullet at all.

Instead, the one who was hit was the person now lying on me, full of blood.

"L-Leon!"

Pushing me out of the way, shielding me from the bullet, Leon got hit in my stead.

"Leon!" I called again, but he's not responsive.

And he's bleeding badly.

I tried to heal him with the little strength I have left.

But blood continuously flows.

Then, another bullet was shot.

"Stop!" Shouted Dion to the person shooting.

Luckily, the second bullet missed.

But Leon's condition is not getting any better.

"Why are you here?! Didn't I ask you to call for people?!"

Leon was in no state to answer.

"Leon, Leon!"

I was already panicking in attempt to stop the bleeding and heal him.
