Bad Blood

Part One: They are the Hunters, We are the Foxes

Every night since the day it had happened, Corona cried herself to sleep.

She was now staying with Sashi.

Whenever Corona's nightly crying started, Sashi was there.

Sashi had Corona saying "It's all my fault" stuck in her head.

But then, one night, rather than her typical nightmares, Corona had a way different dream.

She and Penn were alone in a white room together.

"P-penn?"

"Corona, I'm not dead." he replied to her

She woke up.

The next day, all day she thought about if her dream was right.

What did it mean?

~u~

With Penn gone, and somebody having to take place as leader, the responsibility was put on Corona's shoulders. She vowed to be strong about Penn's death, and not let it get in the way of her focus.

If she didn't step up, Boone and Sashi would be unevenly matched, especially since there was no leader.

Phyllis zapped the 3 of them into their mission for the day.

The setting was a jungle, beautiful jungle flowers and trees were everywhere.

Corona, Sashi, and Boone were in jungle exploration outfits.

Penn came into view. He was wearing his normal clothes, but one thing was different. His shirt had a triangle on it, instead of a zero.

Corona, who could barely believe her eyes, walked over to Penn.

"Penn?"

"Corona." He said, in a sadistic tone. "Why'd you just leave me to die, my angel?" his voice was full of sarcasm.

"Penn...what?"

Corona looked him in the eyes. One look determined that it wasn't her Penn. It couldn't be. That wasn't like him at all. She cringed.

But at the same time it WAS him. It had to be.

Something was seriously wrong.

"Penn, this isn't like you at all." she said, cautiously.

"How would you know?" he said "You always seem to care about you and your problems, that maybe you never even considered me and my feelings!"

"Penn...That's not true at all!" said Corona. She was shaking, and nervous as hell. "I love you! If there was anything wrong you could have just told me!"

"But do you really love me?" Penn said, glaring at Corona.

"P-penn" Corona felt her heart ripping apart.

"Penn! What would your parents think of this?!" asked Sashi

"My parents? They abandoned me."

"Penn, they didn't abandon you." Corona said to him, gritting her teeth. "If they abandoned you, then why did they cry when I personally had to tell them you were dead!" she said in a hoarse tone, barely louder than a whisper.

Penn chuckled slightly. "Says the girl who's parents are dead cause of my parents."

"Penn!" Corona looked offended almost "Penn, that sounds like something-"

"Something my fiancee Jane would say?" said Rippen, coming into view. "I see you've met our new associate"

Jane and Larry followed not far behind Rippen.

Corona began hyperventilating, and screamed.

"Oh, don't fret, dear sister" Rippen said in a sarcastic tone.

~u~

The heroes were just barely successful in that mission, but now they had a new stack of problems.

With Penn being evil now, Corona had officially fallen apart.
