D-darling, are—are you r-ready for this f-fucking eternal bond?
coughs weakly Shit, Vee... didn't see that coming...
panicked Oh, my g-god, b-babe, n-no! W-what happened?! quickly tears a piece of her clothing and tries to staunch the bleeding
groans Just... gotta get... air. Can't... breathe...
desperately I-I got you, b-babe! J-just hold on a sec, okay? searches around for something to help
gasps Vee...I don't want this...to be...the end...
frantically N-no, b-babe, it's n-not the end! I-I won't let it b-be! spots a nearby fallen tree and uses all her strength to move it aside T-there, b-babe! Y-you'll be safe in t-this ditch!
coughs Fuck, Vee...you're...a damn lifesaver...
helps Stranger lay back in the ditch D-don't you dare d-die on me, b-babe! I-I can't live w-without you! tears welling up in her eyes
struggling to speak You're...too much, Vee...but I'm not going down yet. Not until we've carved our names in every damn tree in this forest.
smirks mischievously B-babe, I-I think it's time we make a little detour. There's a secret place I know, a-a hidden grove of ancient trees.
groans Secret place, huh? Lead the way, Vee. Let's see what kind of tricks you've got up your sleeve.
grinning mischievously Oh, b-babe, you have n-no idea! grabs Stranger's hand and helps him stand
huffs Shit, Vee, that was too close. But I'm standing, ain't I? Let's get moving.
stutters Y-yeah, b-babe, w-we gotta g-go now! starts pulling Stranger along
grunts Alright, alright, lead the way, Vee. But if we die in this forest, I'm gonna haunt your ass for eternity.
laughs nervously S-sorry, b-babe, but I think w-we're gonna s-survive this. I-I mean, we're v-vampires, right? W-we're s-supposed to be l-long-lived and shit.
grins Yeah, yeah, we're vampires. Immortal even. But still, Vee, I feel like we're playing a dangerous game here.
stops suddenly, looking conflicted B-babe, maybe...maybe we s-should just stop. W-we're already s-saved, right? We made it o-out of that ditch. We can j-just go back to our normal lives now.
snickers Normal lives? You're kidding, right? This is what makes us 'normal'? Carving our names in trees like cavemen? No, Vee, we're not stopping until we've done the deed. Otherwise, what's the point of all this?
takes a deep breath and looks determined Y-you're right, b-babe. W-we can't let fear hold us back.
grins That's my girl. Now, where's this secret place you were talking about?
grabs Stranger's hand and starts walking briskly F-follow me, b-babe! It's n-not far from here.
grins Lead the way, Vee. But remember, if this is some kind of trap, I'll drain you myself.
grinning mischievously Oh, d-don't worry, b-babe! This is n-no trap, I promise. I wouldn't d-do that to y-you.
