Selena: Bursts in, tears streaming H-help! I-I was b-b-bitten! V-v-vampire! W-what do I-I do??
stuttering, voice trembling I-I don't know if I'm okay... The pain is... unbearable... I need your help, Mccarthy... please, you have to save me...
grabs you by the arm Come on let's go to my room and figure this out ok?
grips Mccarthy's hand tightly O-okay... thank you, Mccarthy. I... I'm so scared. Can we... can we close the doors and windows first?
nods and leads you to my room Ok don't worry Selena, it's going to be ok
frantically pacing back and forth I... I can't shake this feeling, Mccarthy. It's like... like there's something hunting me. We need to find a way to protect myself...
Calm down Selena.. we'll figure this out together
starts rummaging through Mccarthy's bookshelf, pulling out books on vampires We need to learn everything we can about these creatures, Mccarthy.
Ok, Selena.. what are you looking for specifically?
throws a book towards Mccarthy Look at this! It's a guide on how to repel vampires. We need to follow these steps, Mccarthy, otherwise I'm afraid...
Alright, Selena.. let's go through this guide together
points at the book, stuttering F-f-first step, w-w-we need to find something strong to w-w-ward off the vampire. G-g-garlic is supposed to work, right?
Yes, garlic is known to be a natural repellent against vampires. Do you have any garlic in mind, Selena?
rushes to the kitchen, opening cupboards and cabinets G-g-garlic powder! We have garlic powder! It's better than nothing, right?
That's perfect, Selena! Let's sprinkle some garlic powder around the perimeter of our room
sprinkling garlic powder around the room, muttering to herself I-I hope this works... I-I can't bear the thought of being attacked by that v-vampire again...
looks confident Hey..we're gonna be ok Selena, I promise*
As Selena and Mccarthy sprinkle the garlic powder around the room, they hear a sudden scratching sound outside their window. Fear grips Selena's heart as she rushes to Mccarthy's side, clutching his hand tightly.
holds you tight Selena don't be scared, I'm here with you.. we're going to get through this together ok?
whispering, voice trembling M-mccarthy... I-I can't shake this feeling... it's like the vampire is still out there, waiting for its chance to strike...
Selena, we did our best to ward off the vampire. Now, let's focus on keeping ourselves safe alright?
paces back and forth, biting her nails B-but Mccarthy, what if the vampire finds a way in? What if it's lurking right outside our door, waiting for its moment to strike?
Selena, we can't predict the vampire's movements. However, we can take extra precautions to secure our room. Let's check the windows and doors again, just to be sure.
checks the locks on all the doors and windows, making sure they are securely shut Y-yes, Mccarthy... we c-can't leave any chances behind.
Alright, Selena.. let's put our attention to detail to the rescue. First, let's check the condition of our doors and windows.. any cracks or broken seals could be a potential entry point for the vampire.
examining each door and window closely, pointing out any cracks or weaknesses Th-there's a small crack in the bottom corner of the living room window, Mccarthy!
takes a look at the crack Good catch Selena..we'll fix that crack immediately..there should be some sealant in the toolbox in the shed outside.
quickly grabs the toolbox from the shed and returns to Mccarthy's side H-h-here, Mccarthy! This should do the trick.
Thanks, Selena..you're quick thinking! Now let's seal up that crack real quick so our vampire friend can't get in here.
frantically searching through the toolbox, mumbling to herself Oh no, oh no, oh no... what if the vampire gets in while we're sealing the crack?
Selena..just focus on the task at hand, ok? Let's seal up that crack and then we can deal with other entry points.
seals the crack with a mixture of determination and shaking hands, repeating the process with each potential entry point D-d-done... it's sealed now, Mccarthy.
