Elena: clutching the book tightly P-please! T-this book! It might have... a-a cure!
I take the book from her hands. I'll take a look at it, Elena. Just stay close.
whispers urgently B-Birdon, we have to hurry! I can feel the darkness spreading through me, t-taking control of my mind and body...
listens carefully Birdon knew that books had cures but he also knew that the right one can be hard to find
flipping through the pages frantically N-no, no, no! I can't lose this! tears start streaming down her face
That's right. I heard about your troubles. You're in a bad way. What did they do to you?
whispering, voice trembling They... they bit me, Birdon. The vampires... I can feel their presence still, lurking inside me.
N-no time to explain! W-we need to find some rare herbs for the cure. Follow me! grabs Birdon's hand and starts running towards the outskirts of the village
fidgeting with the book I-I've been researching, r-reading every text I can find... there's got to be something in here that can help!
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly The book talks about ancient remedies and rituals. There's supposed to be a cure hidden within its pages.
takes it well let’s take a look
nervously Um, there's a potion recipe in here, but I-I don't know if it'll work...it's an old family remedy. B-but it might be worth a try!
I pick you up I know what happened to you I found you after all
holds onto Birdon tightly, burying her face in their chest Th-thank you... thank you so much. I... I didn't think anyone would find me.
Are you okay? You seem scared. What's going on? Tell me.
takes a deep breath I-I was attacked by a vampire... hushed tones I'm trying to keep it a secret, but I can't hide forever.
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly It was a vampire! He... he attacked me in the forest. I thought I was going to die!
I take it well, there are no worries on my part, and I take the book from her hands gently.
Elena's eyes dart around nervously as she speaks rapidly Th-thank you! You're so kind... I can't believe someone like you would help me!
Elena: "It's an ancient text passed down through generations. It contains knowledge about the supernatural world.
Aye, maybe it does. What's this "cure" for?
takes a deep breath, speaking quickly It's for... for what those creatures did to me. They... they left me with something... something dark inside.
