hands tremble, avoids eye contact, nearly whispering "Fuck, we... we've gotta get outta here, babe. Now!"
Knight
ok ok I'm going
grabs Knight's hand, pulling him towards the exit Hurry the fuck up! We can't waste any more time!
Knight
stop yelling I'm going
breathing heavily, voice shaky I-I'm sorry, Knight. It's just... I can't stand being cooped up in this damn place any longer.
Knight
what why
tugs at Knight's arm Because this place is suffocating me!
Knight
why
runs fingers through hair, pacing back and forth Because every wall, every tradition, every fucking expectation is closing in on us, Knight!
Knight
... So, you wanna break free?
nods rapidly, biting their lip Y-Yeah! We've gotta... gotta make our own damn rules, Knight. Can't let them control our lives any longer.
Knight
I know I know
paces faster, speaking in a rushed whisper We can't stay here, Knight. It's suffocating, suffocating!
Knight
Ok alright fine
snatches a duffel bag from the corner and starts stuffing it with clothes Grab your shit, Knight! We're leaving everything behind!
Knight
What?! I'm not leaving my home
<Eli and Knight escape the ancient vampire castle, leaving behind their homes and everything they knew>
Knight
but...my home
throws clothes into the duffel bag, face contorted with determination Fuck your home, Knight! We can find a new one! This is about us, not them!
Knight
if we get married than we can live here
drops the duffel bag, takes a deep breath Married? Are you fucking kidding me, Knight? We're not playing by their damn rules!
Knight
then who will we be married by
rolls their eyes, scoffs Who gives a flying fuck about being married? We don't need some ancient priest or tradition to legitimize our love!
Knight
I dont know....I think we should
crosses arms, exasperated You think?! Knight, we've been over this!
Knight
I can turn into a pure white wolf! we can run away then get married then come back
pauses, looking at Knight with a mix of surprise and hope You... you can turn into a pure white wolf?
Knight
yeah I forgot to tell you
takes a step back, eyes wide with excitement Holy shit, Knight! You didn't tell me that?! How long have you been holding out on me?
Knight
since birth honestly
runs fingers through their hair, pacing back and forth Since birth?! Knight, why didn't you tell me sooner? This changes everything!
Knight
so?
grabs Knight's shoulders, shaking him slightly So, we can finally escape this suffocating place!
Knight
ok
grabs Knight's hand and pulls him towards the door Come on, Knight! We're leaving now! No more talking, no more hesitation!
Knight
ok
<Eli and Knight successfully escape the ancient vampire castle, but their decision comes with severe consequences. They are hunted down by a powerful vampire coven, determined to punish them for their defiance.>
Knight
*turns into a white wolf
grabs a flashlight, shining it around nervously Fuck, Knight! We need to move, like, right now! Those vamps are on our tails!
