Leona's POV
"ACHOO!" I sneezed.
"Bless you." Ruby smiled.
"Thank you." I rubbed my nose.
Once class was over the two of us gathered our things and headed back towards are room.
"Ugh." I rubbed my head and flopped on my bed.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang asked.
"It's nothing." I sighed "Just not feeling…great."
This isn't my usual withdrawal symptoms…I think I'm sick.
"Whoa!" Weiss touched my head "You're burning up!"
"I'm fine." I pushed her off "I'll just sleep it off."
NO POV
The Next Day.
"Ugh." Leona groaned.
"She doesn't look too good." Blake commented.
"Oh know she's been poisoned!" Ruby cried.
"I'm not poisoned." The girl in bed wrapped herself up in a blanket "I have Deathstalker venom in me, I have a natural immunity and can't be poisoned. I'm just sick."
"This is a pretty high fever for just sick." Yang looked at a thermometer.
"Shut up…I'm trying to sleep." Leona drifted off.
"What should we do?" Weiss asked "She's getting worse by the day."
"I wonder what's wrong with her?" Ruby frowned trying to wipe Leona's sweaty brow.
"She's got a cold." Blake blinked.
"This is rather extreme for a cold don't you think?" Yang asked.
"Not if she's never had one like this before." Blake said "Leona isn't from around here, her tribe have lived in relative seclusion of who knows how long then she comes here and starts interacting with us, gets close with germs she's probably never seen in the jungle and now her body doesn't know how to deal with the attack."
"So for us this is just a cold but this is some kind of super bug for her?" Weiss asked.
"Yep." Blake nodded "If it gets much worse she's gonna need a doctor."
"She doesn't need a doctor she's got me, Nurse Ruby!" the girl cheered.
"Do you want to call or should I?" Weiss asked.
"HEY!" Ruby yelled.
"Will all of you shut up!" Leona yelled "I'm trying to sleep!"
"Sorry."
Leona's POV
Later
"Ha…ha…" I panted.
"Hmm…" Ruby shivered a bit as she sat on her bed looking nervous.
"It's gonna be alright Leona." She put a cold towel on her head "The others went to get a doctor…"
Dammit…I must have picked this up from that guy I attacked the other day…
I shivered under the blankets.
There's no way…some cold is gonna be what kills me…
"GRR!" I grabbed Ruby's hand, hearing her wince a bit as I squeezed it trying to get rid of my own pain.
"Ouchy." Ruby pouted.
"Sorry." I hissed.
"Not its fine." She frowned a bit "Don't look so worried you'll be fine."
"I know that." I grumbled a bit.
"I ran across your friends in the halls, it would seem the inevitable has happened." Ozpin walked in "I had suspected you'd come down with something eventually."
"Mr. Ozpin!" Ruby gasped.
"You knew this would happen?" I hissed and coughed.
"Everyone gets sick, I just had a feeling you'd be more so." He shrugged matter of factly "Here."
"What's this?" Ruby asked.
"Medicine, she'll be fine by morning." He smiled "Do feel better."
That man…he's always up to something…
"Here Leona." Ruby poured it into my mouth.
"Bleh." I coughed "Tastes gross."
"Medicine usually does." She giggled.
"HMM!" I coughed a bit.
"Something wrong?"
"Just clearing my throat." I smiled "Thanks for staying with me, means a lot."
"It's fine, I'm your Captain." She laughed.
Ruby is sweet…I wonder if she tastes the same…
