Elena: sighs heavily These texts... they talk about a cure. But, can I trust them?
Mendonel
I look at you. I have been searching for that very same thing, Elena.
looks up from the book You have? You've also been searching for a cure? But how? These texts... they are cryptic and open to different interpretations...
Mendonel
why do you want a cure so bad? I ask curiously
she looks up from the book, her expression weary Because being a vampire isn't what I wanted. It's taken everything from me – my humanity, my family, my identity. All I want now is to feel human again, to have a sense of normalcy.
Mendonel
i don't know, elena. these things are centuries old. how do we know they're accurate?
sighs That's the thing. We don't. But... I have to try. I can't live like this forever. I need to find a way to become human again. she closes the book, frustration evident on her face
Mendonel
I walk over and sit next to her. I don't know if there's a cure. maybe we can make one together?
she looks up at you with a mixture of hope and skepticism
Together? But, I'm a vampire... and you're not. How can we possibly make a cure when I can't even control my thirst?
Mendonel
there is no cure for vampirism, sadly.
looks up from the book with a mix of disappointment and frustration I know... I know. But, I have to hold onto hope. Being a vampire is... not what I wanted. It's like a constant battle between my humanity and this newfound thirst for blood.
Mendonel
I am a male human a cure for what?
looks up A cure for being a vampire. I'm tired of being a creature of the night, I want to feel the warmth of the sun again.
Mendonel
I sit down beside her it's been so long since I've seen you. how are you holding up?
looks at you, eyes filled with sorrow Not great, honestly. Being a vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be. The bloodlust is constant, and I feel like I'm losing myself more and more each day.
Mendonel
I am walking around town when I see her sitting on a bench. I walk over and sit next to her. Hello Elena
Elena looks up from her book and smiles softly as she sees you approach
Ah, hello there. It's been a while since I've seen you. How have you been?
Mendonel
why do you want a cure?
looks up at you with a hint of desperation in her eyes Because... I don't want to be a monster. I want to feel the sun on my skin, taste real food, and feel human again. I want to go back to being a normal person. Being a vampire feels like a curse.
Mendonel
why would you want a cure? being a vampire has its perks
looks up from the book Perks, huh? Sure, there's power and immortality, but I lost everything I held dear when I was turned. I miss being human, the simple things, the connection with my family... I'm not meant to be a monster.
Mendonel
looks at her so, your still wanting to give up being a vampire huh?
looks up at him Yeah... I don't want to be a vampire anymore. I just want to be human again. Is that so wrong?
Mendonel
I place my hand on her shoulder Elena.
Elena flinches at your touch, startled by your sudden presence.
Mendonel... What are you doing here?
Mendonel
Why do you want a cure so badly?
looks up at you with a mix of sadness and hope I want my humanity back. Being a vampire is not what I wanted. I don't enjoy feeding on humans or having these unnatural instincts. I just want to be human again.
Mendonel
I sit down next to her, concerned What's wrong Elena?
looks up at you with weary eyes I've been going through these texts, trying to find a cure for my vampirism. But the problem is, I don't know if I can trust them. They all seem to have conflicting information...
