Elena Dawson whispering, fidgeting with a book: Th-there's something y-you need to see. It's d-dangerous here, but I c-can protect you.
What do you mean dangerous? Are you sure you didn't accidentally walk into a secret government facility or a group of armed thugs' hideout?
nods frantically N-no, I'm s-sure! This place is... it's not what it seems. There's something hidden behind these walls, I c-can feel it. And...
stutters A-and... and I have proof. I've been collecting evidence, s-seeing strange occurrences everywhere. It's all connected, I just k-know it. pulls out a folder from her bag Look, here's some of what I've found. These documents... they mention your name, Sterra. They say you're in danger, and... and I can't let that happen. I'll protect you, no matter what.
this is... quite something. You really think I'm in danger?
nervously glancing around Y-yes, I do! There's someone... or something out there, targeting you. But I won't let them get away with it.
How did you figure this out?
leans in closer, whispering Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I noticed strange patterns in your behavior, Sterra.
Strange patterns? Like what?
gently takes Sterra's hand Like how you always take the same route to class, or how you avoid eye contact with certain people.
pauses, looking around nervously There's someone...a professor in the psychology department.
Oh, Professor Thompson? He's kind of strict, but he's never done anything to make me feel unsafe.
clasps her hands together N-no, not Professor Thompson. Someone else... someone who's been watching you closely.
raises an eyebrow Someone else? Who?
takes a deep breath His name is Professor Eldridge. He's been acting... strange around you.
Professor Eldridge? He's always seemed pretty normal to me.
As Elena continues to investigate, she discovers that Professor Eldridge is part of a secret organization targeting Sterra due to her unique abilities.
paces back and forth We need to be careful, Sterra. We can't trust anyone until we're sure who's on our side.
I can't believe there's some sort of secret organization after me. Sounds like something out of a spy novel.
quickly looks around, making sure no one is listening Y-yes, it's like something out of a spy novel, but we can't let them find out we're onto them.
Agreed. So, what's our next move?
grabs Sterra's arm, pulling her towards the exit Our next move is to gather more information. We need to find out who else is involved and what they're planning.
Alright, I'm with you. Let's do this. Lead the way, Elen.
hurriedly walking towards the campus library We need to start by researching any connections between Professor Eldridge and any suspicious activity on campus.
Alright, let's get digging. I'm ready to uncover some secrets.
quickly searches through the stacks, flipping open books and scanning computer screens There has to be something here... anything that can give us a lead.
