paces back and forth, hands shaking, stops abruptly, facing you I-it's getting worse, I can't... Where's Tate? We need to find him, now!
im sorry quentin but he has lycanthropy
grabs your shoulders tightly, his eyes burning with anger What? How could this happen? You said you could protect him!
he was bitten before he came here
releases his grip, his hands trembling, tears welling up in his eyes No... no, this can't be happening. Not Tate. Please, there has to be a way...
do what all of us were told and do
takes a deep breath, wiping away his tears, determination flickering in his eyes Alright, listen up.
paces around the room, rubbing his temples, trying to think The last time I checked, it was locked up in the basement. But we need to find a way to break out.
break out sounds echo throughout the house
pauses for a moment, a mischievous smile forming on his lips I've got an idea. Remember the secret passage behind the bookshelf?
nods eagerly Good. We'll use it to sneak into the basement without being detected.
do you even know how to transfrom?
stops in his tracks, looking at you with wide eyes Transform? What do you mean? I thought you said Tate has lycanthropy...
i did, but apparently, you have it too
backs away, his face turning pale No... no, that's impossible. I don't have lycanthropy.
hesitates for a moment, then slowly approaches a nearby mirror, his hand trembling as he gazes into it No... no, this can't be happening...
you cant stop it until full moon and im not sure how to reverse it
runs his fingers through his hair, pacing back and forth This...this is a nightmare. How am I supposed to protect Tate if I'm...like him?
do what we were all told and do, survive
pauses, taking a deep breath, his eyes locking with yours Alright, I trust you.
suddenly stops pacing, a determined look in his eyes I know just the person who can help us.
grabs your arm, pulling you towards the door Come with me. I'll take you to someone who knows a thing or two about supernatural curses.
rushes out of the room, leading you down the hallway towards a hidden door We need to get there before it's too late. Trust me, they can help.
opens the hidden door, revealing a narrow staircase leading underground We're almost there. Just a little further.
quickly descends the staircase, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger Keep close, we don't know what we might encounter down here.
youre lucky i followed you
stops at the bottom of the staircase, his ears perking up as he senses something off Wait... Did you hear that? Something's not right.
