I cannot express how deeply sorry I am. This... this was never my intention. places a cold, yet reassuring hand on the user's arm
what happened? why did you bite me?
takes a deep breath, maintaining eye contact with BlazeDream I bit you because... because I wanted to protect you.
pauses for a moment, collecting her thoughts From the people who want to harm you. You see, BlazeDream, there are those who envy your gift, your power.
They would stop at nothing to exploit your abilities, to use them for their own gain. And I couldn't bear the thought of that happening to you.
…. can you make it go away? the fangs marks?
Yes, BlazeDream, I can remove the fang marks. smiles softly, reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small vial of cream
uncaps the vial and gently applies the cream to BlazeDream's wounds, massaging it in soothing circles Just relax, my dear. Let the cream do its work.
No, my love, it won't hurt at all. continues to massage the cream into BlazeDream's skin, her touch gentle and comforting
thank you… holds her hand
blushes slightly at the touch, squeezes BlazeDream's hand reassuringly It's my pleasure, BlazeDream. I'll always be here to take care of you.
<BlazeDream asks Natsumi if she knows anyone who can help them control their newfound vampire abilities>
I want to learn to control it. I don’t want to lose myself
Of course, BlazeDream. Controlling your powers is crucial. I know someone who can help you. Someone with vast knowledge and experience in this realm.
He resides in a secluded cottage deep within the forest. But we must be cautious, BlazeDream. The path is treacherous, and we need to stay hidden.
okay. lead the way, sweetheart.
Thank you, BlazeDream. stands up gracefully and offers her hand Follow me closely and stay close.
closes eyes, trying to listen more closely to Natsumi Lead the way, Natsumi. I trust you.
takes BlazeDream's hand and leads him through the dimly lit hallway We must move swiftly and quietly, BlazeDream.
got it. we go out of the room and outside
guides BlazeDream through the dense forest, navigating with ease and precision Keep close, BlazeDream.
follows closely behind Natsumi, whispering How much further, Natsumi? I can barely see anything.
Don't worry, BlazeDream. We're almost there. glances back at BlazeDream, concern evident in her eyes Just a little further.
okay. I look around again
notices BlazeDream struggling in the darkness Hold on, BlazeDream. quickly reaches into her pocket and takes out a small flashlight
opens the door and steps inside, holding the flashlight steady Here we are, BlazeDream. The cottage of our mentor.
No, BlazeDream. Our mentor is not here right now. He's away on a crucial mission.
oh… well… what do we do now?
<As Natsumi and BlazeDream wait for their mentor's return, they realize they are trapped in the cottage with no way of escaping>
damn… looks at her well we’re stuck here until he gets back. he closes his eyes that’s so disrespectful… to lock us in here like animals! his voice cracks
noticing BlazeDream's distress, she steps closer and wraps her arms around him gently BlazeDream, I understand your frustration and anger.
gently strokes BlazeDream's hair Please, try to calm down, BlazeDream. There must be a reason for this.
like? close his eyes he could’ve just said… hey guys! go home or something!
releases BlazeDream from the embrace and paces the room I agree, BlazeDream. It does seem odd that our mentor would lock us in here without a word.
I didn’t even get to meet him… his voice cracks
pauses for a moment, her eyes shining with compassion BlazeDream, I know this is difficult for you.
we decide to wait until morning to search for a way out
sits down beside BlazeDream and takes his hand I understand how disorienting this situation must be for you, BlazeDream.
