Morwal Wolfblood Secrets

'In a secret location,

'the investigation into Wolfbloods is getting serious.'

If you want to know who she is, then look at the others.

They hate us.

Say it as many times as you like, it doesn't make it true.

Oh, really? What if I use another word?

-What word?

-What do you know about the Morwal?

What have you heard about the Morwal?

You don't like us knowing about that, do you?

Cos it's the Wolfbloods' nasty little secret.

Your little secret.

We can handle the Morwal, we always have.

In the wild, maybe, but the cities?

In greater numbers, now that the Wolfbloods aren't hiding any more?

-What then?

-I bet you're wondering which idiots told us about this.

You like that, don't you? I can switch it on and off like, click.

Hashtag aah-woooooo!

Love the lighting in here.

Very moody.

Yeah, not a fan of the colour scheme, though.

Scatter cushions?

No, but seriously,

I got 9,000 followers within a minute of the announcement.

The notifications nearly fried my phone.

You're enjoying Wolfbloods being out in the open.

Yeah, well, I was never really the shy, retiring type anyway.

Never?

HE SHOUTS

HE ROARS

Where'd you get that? She deleted that.

We un-deleted it.

Why don't you tell us from the beginning?

You're not really modelling agents, are you?

Fig roll. No, wait, er...

Got it, custard cream!

Whoo! Now your turn. If you were a vegetable, what would you be?

Miss McKenzie, we've asked you here to talk about your associations

-with Wolfbloods.

-Fine.

No icebreaker.

Turnip.

Jana's pack were regulars in your cafe, we understand.

Yeah, can't keep them away.

Especially TJ.

Well, it's where I hang out.

She would have known where to find me.

This is Holly Cameron we're talking about?

Yeah. Well, she wasn't calling herself that then.

Oh, my... Tell me those are not original vintage.

'80s all-white high tops.

They're so rare, they hardly even exist!

How'd you know about those?

My name's TJ. Which actually stands for "true gentleman".

And, no, my mum can't spell.

Anyway, man, you've got to tell me, where did you get those?

And...do you think they'll have them two sizes up?

And...what are you doing for the rest of your life?

DOOR CHIME PINGS

Told you he'd snuck off here.

Anything to keep you quiet.

Hey, what's it say? What's it say? Is it rude?

Is it permanent? Is it going to come off?

You got her number?

What?

-I got her number!

-Well, you should've seen him after that.

He was off his food and everything.

You know, one day, he didn't even finish

his third lunchtime cheeseburger.

Love's young dream.

Call me.

Look, it was a set-up, a scam.

She played me good and proper.

'Next thing I know, I'm in her garage, spilling my guts out.'

I'm a Wolfblood.

A what?

I'm not like other people.

I'm faster...

..stronger.

My senses, they...

They tell me there's a fly,

in the corner, struggling to get out of a web,

without me even looking.

I change.

I'm part-human, part-wolf.

You haven't got to be scared of me, Niamh!

-Niamh!

-Got you.

Niamh!

I just don't know what I was thinking.

Well, I do.

He was thinking with his pack mentality.

Humans, you know? And they say that we're cunning.

So you lost it. You went wild.

No, I was just a bit ticked off.

HE SNARLS

End it! Seriously, Niamh?

Is that even your name?

What are you, a total, complete nutso, or something?

How could you lie to my face all those times,

-making out you like me when...

-I'm sorry.

-When...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Look, you ain't got to be scared of me.

Just get away from me, you freak, OK?

Look, it's not like I went Morwal or nothing.

Come on, you know what it's like, fella.

You meet a girl, she's really into you, and then she chucks you,

and puts you in her lock-up. It's...

What's the Morwal?

Um... It's just, er, what do you call it?

A figure of speech. Like, I flipped, or I freaked out...

I've seen reference to it elsewhere.

I don't think it is a figure of speech, is it?

All right, no.

But Holly's idea that we put the Morwal in Carrie, that's way off...

Carrie, who's Carrie?

Carrie was my best friend, and she was totally fixated on you.

She went on and on about you.

"Oh, he's so cool, he likes the coolest music,

"he's obsessed with his stupid vintage trainers."

You got her totally into you,

then you pushed her over the edge

with your made-up Wolfblood nonsense.

You put her in hospital.

She was sent away, and it's all because of you.

Made you feel big, that, did it?

Made you feel special?

Well, you're not. You're sick.

It wasn't like that. We tried to help her, we really did,

but she couldn't be helped.

It was like...

-she couldn't face up to what she really was.

-What, a Wolfblood?

So, she was, what, having some sort of breakdown?

That's what you call having the Morwal in you?

It's a little bit more than just a breakdown.

Carrie, did your parents ever tell you about the Morwal?

What's a Morwal?

Well, when something bad happens to a Wolfblood,

all the horrible feelings inside can start to build up.

They get into your wolf.

It makes you angry,

makes it not you.

Kind of like a werewolf.

I think maybe that's what's happened to you.

I've always been like this.

My parents didn't even tell me what I was, until I started...

..changing.

You're not born with the Morwal, Carrie, it's pain.

It's brought on by something.

I know.

The Morwal, it's like pure, animal rage.

It's your wild side coming out.

I guess. We tried to help, we really did.

SHE SOBS

I'm a monster!

-It's not you, though, Carrie.

-What do I do?!

Look, let Jana help. You can trust her.

She's got this kind of thing down.

How can SHE help?

Tell me what happened.

We'll keep your secret, whatever it is.

We're good at that.

You are good at it, aren't you, TJ?

All of you. But now the secret's out.

Yeah, but that was Jana's idea...

No, no, not that Wolfbloods exist,

but that Wolfbloods have this in them.

The Morwal, that is the real secret.

Oh, that.

No, that's not a secret.

No, everyone talks about that.

SHE HOWLS

IT PANTS

IT SNARLS

ROARING, PEOPLE SCREAM

So everyone remembers the wolf attack?

No, no, me and Kay killing it on the karaoke.

# Trust it, use it

# Prove it, groove it

# Swing it, shake it, move it, make it

# Who do you think you are?

# Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it

# Prove it, groove it! #

SHE SINGS HAPPILY

After that, Miss McKenzie.

-The wolf.

-Oh, that.

Yeah, bloodcurdling, with a capital K.

GLASS SMASHING

WOLF ROARS

SCREAMING

WOLF GROWLS

Jana, TJ, come on!

SHE PANTS

Jana, transform!

WOLF GROWLS

Run, TJ!

WOLF BARKS

WOLF WHINES

Thank you!

Incredible. All this pretence of Wolfbloods living alongside humans,

and all the time, this is what you've been keeping under wraps.

Even Jeffries had the nous to keep it out of his book.

You are animals, all of you.

Whoa, rewind. Look, it doesn't happen to everyone.

It hasn't happened to me.

I only transformed the first time six months ago and...

Er, is there any chance we can wipe that last bit off the tape?

So how many others do you know who've had the Morwal in them?

I don't know, one?

And who was that?

-Get off me!

-You shouldn't be here.

-I'm fine.

-Do you know how dangerous this is?

You don't get to lock me in a cage.

-I thought we agreed you were going to stay at home.

-No!

You and Carrie agreed.

Keep your voice down.

Or what?

Back to your classes now, please.

-SHE SNARLS

-Quietly!

You know, it's a wonder that we didn't all figure out

the whole Wolfblood thing right there and then.

You'd think Jana would have been angry at that Carrie one,

but she totally understood.

-She'd been there too.

-Sorry, Jana had what?

Yeah, at Stoneybridge, she had the "Narwhal" herself.

-You have the Morwal in you, Jana, is that not right?

-No.

That's, er...

We've seen the school reports, we've read about the incidents.

-Stop it!

-Stop it, Jana!

-What are you doing?!

The many incidents.

Admit it, Jana, the Morwal came out once, it can come out again.

No, it can't.

How can you guarantee that?

'This is why you, as an individual, cannot be allowed to walk free.'

You are an accident waiting to happen.

A bomb that could go off any time, anywhere.

Ma'am, it is my strongest recommendation

that the Wolfblood known as Jana

be placed immediately in confinement.
