It didn't bite me. It just...it shot it at me. And I think it burned my skin so it's inside me that way.

( it felt like acid and he still feels that in his blood. he takes several quick, shallow breaths, trying not to pass out because the pain will not relent. he can feel tears pricking at his eyes but he wipes at them with an uncoordinated hand before he shakes his head. )

It just....it was on fire, Katherine. It was there so quickly and I couldn't do anything about it. It hurts. It feels like I'm on fire now from the inside out.
