Everyone sprinted after her, they all tumbled out of the swarm and looked back, the infected were still following, but slowly. "LETS GO!" Leo yelled firing back into the swarm. "Save your bullets." Aries out a hand on his shoulder which ceased his firing. They all ran until they collapsed from exhaustion in a forest, the moaning faded a long time ago but they ran further just in case.

"That was intense." Taurus had scrapes and scratch marks. Aries had a couple bruises here and there. Cap and Virgo were perfectly fine. Gemini's knuckles were bleeding. Leo's shoulders were sore from the firing, and Aqua had a long bleeding cut along her leg, the worst injury of them all, she didn't know how she ran all the way.

The cut was bleeding immensely and showed no sign of stopping. Virgo came immediately and the first thing she did was pour at least a half a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her leg without warning. Aquarius screamed and cursed "God fucking damnit! Give me a warning next time!" Aqua gasped. "Sorry I have to clean it, it's going to hurt even more, it's very deep." At least she warned Aqua. The sword must have cut her as she was ducking from the bomb.

Virgo took a piece of white cloth and roughly rubbed her wound all the way down. Aqua screamed again. Taurus sat next to her flinching each time she yelled, she was in extreme pain. "Why do you have to rub so hard?!" Aqua panted. "Because of this." Virgo showed the white cloth to her. It was covered with blood but also covered with sand, grit, and small pieces of rocks. "You would have a serious infection if I didn't clean that. She resumed carefully dabbing the wound, making sure there was nothing else. (Just saying an

Aquarius sensitive spot is there legs mostly their calfs -wink- -wink-😏)

The bleeding began to slow down. "I need water." Virgo hissed. They didn't have water. "Give me the gatorade." She said seriously. "The salt should stop the bleeding." Virgo wiped at her forehead. Leo handed the last bottle of Gatorade it was only half full. She took another clean cloth from her medical kit and soaked it with the Gatorade. "This won't hurt." She said before dabbing the cloth on her. The bleeding eventually stopped but the cut was still open.

"It's too deep, you need stitches." She waited for Aqua's reaction. Aqua's eyes widened in fear. "FUCK NO!" She began scrambling away, but cried out in pain. "Stop! You will get it dirty again. We don't have the supplies to clean it again." Virgo was sweating from the humidity. Her hair for the first time out of place. Aqua felt her eyes moisten. "I don't need stitches." She whimpered. "Yes you do, you wound is being exposed to the air, it would be fine in normal air, but this air is infected, you will have a possibility of contracted the virus." She explained seriously.

"Just get the stitches." Taurus stood behind her, he wasn't going to let her escape. "No not you." She gave him a begging look. That look almost broke him but he held strong. "C'mon get the stitches." Virgo urged. "NO!" Aqua turned her head defiantly. Taurus crouched down to her eye level, "are you scared of needles." He asked gently. "I'm not scared of needles!" She said with a pinch of anger. "Then what?" He looked into her dark brown eyes. "I just don't like sharp things stabbing me." She searched for the excuse. "Who likes sharp things stabbing them?" Leo's brows furrowed. "Masochists." Aries said darkly. "Ok then." Leo scooted away from him.

Aqua's leg began throbbing painfully but she refused to show it on her face. She turned away from the group and concentrated on her throbbing leg. Taurus had an idea. He walked to Virgo and whispered something in her ear. Virgo blushed and turned away. Taurus also told something to Leo and Aries. "What if she yells? She might attract infected." Virgo whispered. Taurus smiled and said his plan in a low voice.

Time to put it into action. "Aqua!" Virgo called her over. "What?" Aqua said with attitude. "Looks like you don't need stitches I just have to clean it again." Virgo grabbed the bottle of rubbing alcohol. Aqua groaned but didn't complain. "Here, lay down." Virgo gently pushed her down. "Ok wh-." She grunted at the stinging sensations, still better than a needle stabbing her already injured leg.

Taurus walked to her and stared her down. Aqua held the blush down while staring in his grey eyes. He crouched next to her and stayed silent. Virgo cleaned painfully slow, but it was intentional. Taurus slowly came on top of her, careful not to startle her. He kept moving until he was on all fours and gazing down at her face. "Taurus what are you doing?" She asked nervously. She tried to push him off but he held strong. He leaned down to her face, his hot breath mixing with hers.

"Not in front of everyone Taurus." She tried moving her head back but remembered she was on the ground. "Ready guys?" He looked at Virgo, Leo, and Aries. They all nodded. Everyone else stared in amusement. "Ready for what?" She asked while trying to nudge him off.

He smirked devilishly. I'm a swift motion he grabbed both her wrists and pinned them together above her head, his iron grip only tightened. "Ouch! Taurus?" She was scared. The next moment was pure bliss. Taurus crashed his mouth onto hers and moved swiftly and roughly. Everything faded. She moaned as he bit her lower lip and then pressed down more forcefully.

Aqua felt her body tingle in response to his velvety sweet lips. "Now!" Virgo ordered. Both boys Aries and Leo grabbed her ankles and held them down tightly. Aqua felt hands fly to her ankles and being forcefully pushed down. What the hell was going on? She couldn't think right now Taurus was on top of her, her hands above her head making her vulnerable, and kissing her roughly until her mouth began to feel sore, but she didn't want to stop.

Virgo took a needle and thread out of her kit, quickly cleaned them and took a deep breath. "As quickly as I can." She repeated out loud. The needle pricked Aqua's skin and immediately started bleeding, she went back and forth with the needle and thread as fast as she could but the cut was from her knee all the way to the top of her ankle, it would take a while.

Aqua felt a painful prick in her leg, it took her a moment to register what was happening. She jerked her legs, didn't budge and Taurus was holding her hands down with an iron grip while trying to distract her from the pain, it only worked for a moment. The pain increased exponentially, she felt the thread weaving through her skin and the needle stabbing her sensitive bleeding skin.

Aqua let out a muffled scream. Taurus continued his kissing assault in an effort to keep her quiet. She tried as hard as she could to escape but she was being held down from all sides. She let out another muffled scream that melted into a loud moan as Virgo pierced the skin over and over again, she was almost there. Aqua couldn't breathe, the effort from screaming and keeping up with Taurus's rushed kissing sapped the energy from her.

Virgo was nearing her ankle, the pain would get far worse from here on. She thread the needle through, sweat dripping off her forehead. Aqua let out a muffled begging scream, the pain was unbearable it felt her whole leg was on fire. Taurus slid his tongue in her mouth to silence her screams. Aqua couldn't resist and responded to his deepened kiss. This was the longest kiss Taurus experienced and enjoyed every bit of it.

Virgo bit the thread, tightened it, and then finally tied it off. She wiped the sweat be exhaled "done." She said coughing. Leo and Aries let her legs go, Aqua didn't move. Taurus let go of her hands and continued kissing her. God he tasted so good Aqua thought.

Her energy depleted with every movement. Taurus French kissed her into oblivion. He finally pulled back and sat next to her, panting and catching his breath, his face was hot and as red as a tomato. Aqua just laid there, her black hair pooling around her head, she couldn't move, she couldn't think after that kiss.

"Just wanted to let you know, that was hot as hell." Gemini squealed. Aquarius sighed she was still panting, but she realized the stitches were in. The pain she felt during it was unspeakable. "I hate all of you." Aqua glared at them and gave Taurus an especially cold look. Taurus felt bad for lying to her but god she knew how to kiss, he wouldn't have stopped if he didn't need air. Aqua turned her back away and winced at her leg, it hurt but not as much.

Taurus sat next to her "I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to die." He mumbled. Aqua took in his sentence and realized he did this because loved her because he cared for her. "After what Virgo said about, you know, the possibility of getting infected, I just." He paused. "I just wanted you to live because I love you so much." His voice cracked. And he stared out into the starry sky, he hadn't realized it had become night. They were definitely too in the moment.

"Don't be sorry." Aqua finally said after a long pause of silence. "I understand that you did it for me, if you hadn't I would probably would be dead later because of it. "I just want you to know if I do become infected." Taurus interrupted. "Don't you talk like that," he looked seriously into her eyes. "Let me finish." Aqua put a hand on his shoulder. "If I do become infected, I want you to kill me." Aqua said this without any emotion in her face. "What?" Taurus stared at her in confusion. "I want you to kill me, I don't want to be in pain forever, I don't want to experience the life of an infected,  I would rather die then find out." She looked at the ground.

"How can you say that with a straight face?" Taurus had this funny look where he was trying as hard as possible not to cry his eyeballs out. " I have a stone wall around my heart and you Taurus were the first one to break it." Aqua smiled at him. She leaned in for another kiss. Taurus responded and lightly pressed his lips to hers, aware about how sore they may be. They moved slowly, not at all like earlier. They took their time and after a few moments they both pulled away and out their forehead together. "I love you to." She whispered.
