The Beast
It is time to return.
NO.
You’ve been out here for thirteen hours. Your time is over.
YOU STEAL TIME.
She needed me. I had to stay with her.
I BITE. YOU SOOTHE.
Yes, you told me that. It worked. I need to check on her.
LITTLE MAN CHECK.
Piffle’s magic is not healing that wound correctly. What if she’s in pain?
PAIN GOOD. BLOOD GOOD.
You’re impossible to reason with when you get like this. The sooner I help get her back in good health, the sooner she’ll try to escape again, and the sooner you can catch her.
…brINGER RUN?
Yes, she will try to run again. But I need to see her and help get her back to full strength.
YOU NEED brINGER.
I need to assess—
NO. YOU NEED brINGER. I GET HER FOR YOU. I BITE SO SHE NEED YOU.
You knew she would need me?
I GET brINGER FOR US. ME, BLOOD. YOU…
Me?
YOU FIND OUT.
That’s very cryptic of you.
ONE MORE KILL.
Make it quick. I need to see her.
YOU LET ME OUT TOMORROW?
Yes.
SWEAR ON HER.
Fine. I swear.
