145 Bad Blood

Bai Lei quickly catches me as Zhen runs over with worry. I try my best to fight the dizzy spell as I say "Blood... his blood..." Bai Lei's red eyes flash with confusion and panic as he asks "His blood? Who's blood love? What happened?" I lift my head to look at him but everything suddenly goes dark.

"Nova!" Bai Lei yells as he pulls her limp body into his arms. Her body was so hot! She's burning up... Zhen runs over and touches her head saying "She's running a fever." Suddenly, a little white fluffy head pops out from Nova's hair and says "Master was forced to drink that evil man's blood! You have to save Master!" 

Bai Lei's body stiffens as the surrounding air drops several degrees. His hands instinctively tighten on Nova's soft body in a protective manner as Zhen looks to little Bun with fear while asking "You said she was forced to drink someone's blood? Who's blood?"
