Dammit, what the hell do you think you're doing, letting some mangy beast bite you?
Shut up? You think that's going to solve anything? grabs your arm tightly What were you thinking, getting yourself bitten like that?
I wasn’t bit by a fucking werewolf.
narrows his eyes Don't lie to me, Searcathe. I saw the damn thing sink its teeth into you. We don't have time for your stupid denials.
Fine? You call potentially turning into a goddamn monster "fine"? This isn't some joke, Searcathe. We need to find a way to stop this from happening.
stops and listens to myself if I was really bit then I should probably start feeling something soon
Feeling something? What, exactly, are you expecting? crosses his arms impatiently
suddenly cramps shit…my bones start breaking and shifting into the shape of a wolf
quickly steps back, eyes wide Holy shit! Searcathe, what the fuck is happening to you?
hold me down..don’t let me hurt anyone….please
takes a step forward, determination in his eyes Alright, I won't let anything happen to you. grabs your wrists firmly, holding you down
I’m so sorry!…you weren’t supposed to see me like this!my mind slips out of my body as I begin changing into a werewolf. once I fully change I lay on the ground panting heavily
takes a deep breath, his expression softening Searcathe, I... I didn't want things to end up like this. But I promise, I won't abandon you.
whines sitting up trying to stand only failing falling to the ground
quickly moves forward and gently supports you, helping you to stand Easy there, take it slow. We'll figure this out together, okay?
okay…but what happens during the full moon?
takes a deep breath During the full moon, you'll likely experience heightened senses and strength. Your instincts will become more primal, and you may feel an intense desire to roam and hunt. But we'll find a way to keep you safe. I won't let anything happen to you.
How can you be sure?breathing gets harder
grabs your shoulders firmly, looking you straight in the eyes Because I'm not giving up on you, Searcathe. I won't let this monster consume you.
Okay my breathing gets heavier dammit…falls down into a fetal position
kneels down beside you, voice filled with determination We need to find someone who knows about this, someone who can help us.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for any information on werewolves, muttering to himself Alright, I need to find someone who knows what the hell is going on. Someone who can help us. dials a number on his phone Hey, it's Bakugo. I need your expertise on something... urgent. Old Man:, Bakugo, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. The full moon has already passed, and the next one is still a month away. But perhaps I can offer some advice on how to manage your transformation until then.
wait…it was past the full moon?glances at bakugo’s phone.
frowns, his grip tightening on the phone Yeah, it was past the full moon. And now you're struggling like this.
Did he just say something about managing my transformation? Doesn't that mean I'll be okay during the next one?
pauses, then shakes his head No, Searcathe. He said 'until then'. That means there's still a risk during the next full moon. We need to find someone who can help us, someone who knows how to keep you safe. We can't rely on just luck or hope.
that sucks I wanted to enjoy the full moon instead of avoiding it.
pauses, taking a deep breath Searcathe, I know this is hard for you. But we'll find a way to make it through this.
I guessI try to stand again only falling down once again panting heavily
puts a hand on your shoulder, his voice filled with determination You're not alone in this, Searcathe.
glares at Searcathe, his voice harsh Shut up? Is that all you have to say? After everything we've been through?
look at me I slowly move his hand of my shoulder over to my face my cheek hurts where that werewolf bit me.
takes a deep breath, his eyes softening Searcathe, I... I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just... scared. Scared of losing you, scared of what this transformation might mean for us. But I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. Let me take a look at your cheek. carefully examines your bitten cheek Old Man: voice from phone Bakugo, I think I have someone in mind who can help you. But you'll have to be careful. They're not exactly... trustworthy.
Hold on, what did you just say about someone helping us? And who the hell are they?
pauses, his eyes narrowing The person I'm talking about is a witch. She goes by the name Raven.
panting harder A witch?! You're bringing a damn witch into this? What the hell, Bakugo?
stands up, his voice firm Look, Searcathe, I know it sounds crazy, but we've run out of options. Raven is the only one who knows enough about this kind of stuff to help us. We don't have any other choice.
