Fall of the Wild Wolfblood

That is a werewolf skull.

What?

He was a member of your pack.

I'm telling you my ancestor killed that thing!

You can keep your research, or you can keep us safe.

Today's proved you really can't do both.

Mum, Dad...meet Great-Great-Great-Uncle William.

Guy's, listen to this...

When Jeffries said we were camping in Aern Hollow, I recognised

-the name from Abraham's journal.

-Seriously, get a new book.

I've got free ones on my phone.

It was round here that he first saw the werewolf...

-TOM GROWLS

-Tom, Shush!

'The one he shot in my field.'

-What is it?

-'He'd been out poaching.'

I hope Maddy isn't listening to this.

'He caught some rabbits and lit a fire to cook one.'

Why? What's he on about?

His ancestor's journal.

Could you wear that?

'The smell attracted one of the beasts.

'He would have shot it there and then...

'but he'd used all his gunpowder to light the fire.

'He could see its eyes lit by the flames.'

What's he saying?

'And he chased it through the woods.'

It's about William.

Your ancestor?

-But the werewolf vanished...

-The one that he killed?

Ssshh!

So it was a magic werewolf!

No, you idiot.

It vanished because it had a den up here.

A werewolf den! And I'm going to find it.

Liam's going to find it.

That's amazing.

Did you know that, Maddy?

Maddy...?

# A promise that I keep

# I'll never share, I'll never speak

# To my grave, the secret goes

# The beating heart, the beating heart

# Of mystic creatures wandered far

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows

# Through these veins a wolfblood flows. #

I am freezing.

Well, you should have worn your thermals.

This stuff is the best, what is it?

Black pudding.

Come on, you three. Come over here, get warm.

Erm... We're good over here, thanks.

We're a bit hot, actually.

Fine.

Miss, what's in black pudding?

Apart from oats, mostly blood.

Blood!?

-That is so gross!

-I think I'm going to be sick.

We're not vampires, Miss! This is disgusting.

It's full of iron.

Girls, it's orienteering day!

You're going to need a good breakfast!

How about some cereal or beans?

So are you going to go look for Liam's werewolf lair, then?

-No way.

-I thought you'd be up for that.

-We don't even know where it is.

-Liam thinks he does.

Liam's not going to tell us.

Liam's journal will. I'll sneak into his tent and take pictures.

Are you forgetting about the skeleton?

Do you really want to go through all that again?

If it's William's den, he was part of my pack

and if he's got a den out there, then I want to know about it.

Here, keep an eye on Liam.

Jana, could you pass me some more logs, please?

The thing is, it's about attitude.

That's the most important thing.

Jana, the logs.

Jana? What's wrong with you? Just pass them to me!

Fire...

She did that on purpose!

Look at my pants!

Do you know how dangerous that was?!

-All right, she didn't mean to do it!

-Was he talking to you, Rhydian?

All right, everyone just cool down.

Where's Liam?

What you doing? Get off my journal!

Sorry, I just...

I heard you talking last night about the werewolf den.

That was a private conversation!

You can't have a private conversation in a tent.

I just thought it looked interesting.

But you believe me now?

I believe there's a journal.

You want to come with...? Help me find it?

Thanks, but no thanks. Sorry.

OK, people! Come on, let's go! Front, centre, come on!

-All right! Come on. Gather round.

-So you're not going with Liam now?

Course not. I've got pictures of his map from his journal.

I'll be there before he even gets close.

OK, two words - health and safety!

Stay in your groups and don't split up!

If something does go wrong, each group has one of these.

What's the point, miss? We've got our phones.

We're not idiots. We know you've GPS on them.

Hand them over, let's go. Come on, Jana!

No phone, no pictures, no map.

I need this phone, it's ridiculous.

You will use the compass

and the map provided to navigate your way around the course.

If you did the work on grid references

and map readings in class, none of you should have any problems.

There are three markers on each route.

The first group back are the winners!

I think it's time we picked some team leaders.

Miss Parish, if you'd do the honours.

Right...

Katrina.

But Miss, I'm hungry.

Too late.

So, no werewolf den today, then.

-So we'll go with Liam.

-We?

If he goes anywhere near it, you can lead him away.

-Mads.

-Like a decoy.

-Tom!

-Tom! Tom! Tom! Tom!

-Yes Tom!

-Come on, let's go.

-It'll be fine.

You know what they say - keep your friends close, enemies closer.

Not that close.

Sir, are you sure you want me to group leader?

Absolutely. Tom, I want you to step up.

-Yeah, but, with my dyslexia...

-Come on!

-Where are those girls?!

-We could go without them, sir.

And still win.

No way. Katrina is your team leader, she's not getting of that easily!

Can we leave now, miss?

No! You leave at the same time.

What are you lot still doing in here?

-We're not going!

-We can't survive in the wild!

There's no shops for miles!

And we haven't had breakfast.

Kara, as class president, you should be setting a better example!

Well, to be honest, sir, I'm thinking about resigning.

-Why?

-I've lost all trust in you.

You said you were going to take my non-uniform proposal to the head.

-And you didn't.

-He won't go for it.

This is not the time to be talking about this!

Well, then, we're staying here.

That's blackmail.

No, sir, it's incentivising your students. Regaining their trust.

All right, I will talk to the head. Now, hurry up!

And we get breakfast.

-Take it on the way!

-Thanks, sir.

You're the best!

-What are you doing?

-Come on!

We're here!

I'm in charge.

Three...

Two...

One...

WHISTLE

Stop running!

Why is Rhydian with us?

He wanted to go, so I changed my mind.

Keep up!

Do you really know where we are going?

yes, I know where we are going, south.

You should not be leading.

-Be quiet.

-We have got the map.

See that over there? I think it's this here.

Trust me, we need to go that way.

-I think we should go that way.

-Tom, we're going this way.

Whoa, hold on, Jeffries told us not to split up.

Going to find his "werewolf den", aren't they?

-HE HOWLS

-Shut up!

Liam, Maddy and Rhydian. Didn't see that one coming.

You don't mind, do you Tom?

-As long as we don't get disqualified.

-We'll catch you up.

-How? He's got the map.

-Trust me, we'll find you.

Is everyone taking stupid pills? Werewolves don't exist.

Whatever, Jimi, no-one asked you to come.

-I wouldn't anyway.

-Good.

THEY HOWL

You owe me.

-Sorry!

-Come on!

If a compass points north, how come when I turn this way,

it points west?

The arrow points north, no matter what the dial says!

Then why have the dial say anything?

This is stupid, just give it to me!

First you take Harry and now you want the compass?

Agh! I could lead us round this course in half the time!

I heard, you couldn't even pass Jeffries firewood without

having a mental breakdown.

Yeah, I'm not letting you get your hands on the compass.

I don't need a compass.

Seriously, even Katrina knows you need a compass.

What are you doing?!

If I get the arrow pointing to the S,

I know which way to go.

Found it!

Oh, hurrah(!)

Supposing we find this den... what would you do?

Laugh at the others, for a change.

OK, but what would you do?

I don't know, take photos, phone Doctor Whitewood, tell the world.

I don't know, depends what we find.

Well, suppose we find an actual werewolf there?

Stop nagging him, Mads, we're not going to find a werewolf, are we?

You don't know that.

OK, so what if you do find one, then?

What are you going to do? Have people experiment on it?

Does it matter?

Of course it does! You don't experiment on people, do you?!

They're not people!

You can't say that!

Suppose it was me.

-Suppose I was a...

-Mads!

If you two are going to keep arguing, then I'm going back.

She started it.

It's like you're taking all this personally.

I'm not... I just...

just like people and I like animals.

OK? That's all.

So do I, but a werewolf?

That's neither an animal or a human. It's a monster.

Yeah, I'm with you, Liam!

Yeah, you're the expert.

What are you doing?

I just...

He just winds me up.

Oh, I hate nature!

Seriously, this isn't south!

How would you know?

Ivy!

Who's Ivy?

Her imaginary friend?

That's Ivy and it points south.

And Ivy knows this, like how?

She's weird. Like her.

It's not weird, it's quite simple.

Ivy points south because....

The roots are on the shady side.

Yeah, out of the sun,

so the soil stays damper.

But the leaves need sunlight,

so they'll be on the side of the tree facing it.

South.

I'll take my compass over a mouldy bit of ivy,

thank you very much.

South!

I swear the marker should be here!

-Well, it's not.

-Tom, you've got to let someone else look at the map.

I'm the group leader, Jimi!

And you're not leading us where we need to go.

Fine, you do it, then!

Why are you being such a spanner?

-Do you even know how to read a map?

-Yes!

It's your dyslexia, isn't it? Mate, you should have just said.

I know how to read...

a map, OK? It just looks all jumbled.

You take the compass, I'll take the map.

We need to go... southeast.

Ah, bad luck, man. I think we're going to have to go back.

You think some stupid sign's going to stop me?

You go back if you're scared.

Just admit it.

No! We are not lost!

The river is here, we are going in the wrong direction!

I did the arm thing,

it pointed south and I followed the arrow.

The arrow points north.

That was before the arm thing!

We've been going north all this time, haven't we?

-The compass is broken.

-No, it isn't.

Now it is.

Follow me.

You want to win, don't you?

Scott!

Look for two rocks, like a gateway.

I don't understand, it should be here.

That's it, there, where those rocks have fallen over.

You distract him, I'll go and have a look. Go!

Liam! What's over there?!

I don't know, it's not in the journal.

Might as well have a look!

A lot can change over 200 years.

We got the first marker,

we got the first marker, yes! We win!

So, can ivy can get us to the next marker?

Yes, champions!

Come on, Jana, if your skanky moss - or whatever - is all that,

then lead the way, girl.

Puddles are dirtier on the west side.

Would be something about dirt. She's like a dog.

It makes sense. The wind's coming from the east,

so it's pushing the dirt to the other side.

In English, freaks?

-It's that way.

-I understood that.

-No, no that's not it.

-Wait, hold on.

No, it must be back up this way. Maddy!

-Have you seen something?

-What? No, I...!

The rocks...

What you trying to do? Steal all the glory?!

Don't be daft!

-Exactly where the journal said the lair was.

-Brilliant!

Mads, I thought the plan was to not show him where it is.

There's nothing here!

Your ancestor's must have got it wrong.

No, there must be a secret entrance or something.

You can't expect them to leave a sign up.

-It says it was right here.

-Erm, Liam,

we should really go find Tom before he heads back to base.

-Hey!

-Look, we know where it is now, let's just get Liam away

and we'll come back later.

Yeah, but it's here.

What? Just calm down, all right?

Liam!

-Liam?!

-Help! I'm stuck! It really hurts!

Can you move?

No, my leg's trapped.

Hold still, we'll get help!

Do you think we'll be able to get down there?

Then what? We won't be able to get back up.

We ought to get Jeffries.

I ought to get my head examined for letting you bring us here!

-All right!

-This is down to you, Maddy.

-I know!

Where you going?

-Our group will be closer than camp!

-How's that going to help?!

-Walkie-talkie!

-I can't move my leg!

Liam, Rhydian's gone for help!

It's dark down here, throw me a torch!

This is it, this must be the werewolf den!

There's tunnels and everything!

It's probably just a Badger tunnel.

No, I can see the support beams.

I bet it's one of those old mine things.

This was made by werewolves.

But it's underground, that's why no-one has seen it.

Can you grab onto something? Pull yourself up?

Liam! Liam!

You got to get me out of here!

Stay still, I'll try and find another entrance!

Badger...

This must be behind all those stories, Shannon's piece,

everything.

Werewolves could have been living here for hundreds of years.

Maddy? Maddy are you still there?

Maddy, can you still hear me?!

WOLF GROWLS

Maddy?

Maddy, there's something in here! I can hear it.

Maddy?

It's coming for me!

It's a werewolf!

Get out of it!

Maddy!

Maddy!

Maddy!

Calm down, I'm here.

Did you see it?!

See what?

The werewolf!

It was right there, where you are now!

I didn't see anything. It must have been a badger

There it is.

Let's get back to camp! We should win this!

Slight problem, boys.

Half our group's missing.

-Liam and his stupid werewolf! I hope it eats him!

-Tom!

Liam's fallen into some kind of pit, I need your walkie-talkie.

-Is he all right?

-I don't know, Maddy's with him.

We could win this! Why should we cop the blame

cos you two went off with that spanner?!

Because he's supposed to be your mate and he's hurt!

Mr Jeffries? Are you there?

What is it, Rhydian?

Think about it, Maddy, Shannon's beast no-one found,

those bones being stolen.

You are being daft.

Kids.

Why would kids steal those bones?

The werewolf exists and this is where it lives.

There's got to be another explanation.

Then why would you agree to come here with me?

You said you believed me.

I said it would be... interesting.

And what's more interesting than this?

Honestly, it's like you're trying to protect it.

Don't be stupid, Liam!

How'd you get down here, anyway?

Erm...

The badger hole... I heard you shouting.

You fit through a badger hole? That doesn't make sense.

Hold still, I am going to lift it off.

That's it...

Liam, quick!

Maddy..! Maddy get me out.

Stay still, You'll bring it down on us!

Can you give me a grid reference on that, please? Over.

A reference? I don't know.

It's grid reference 1-8-5-4-4-3. Over.

-What's maths got to do with it?

-Shush.

'Thank you, Tom.

'Take your group to Miss Parish back at camp, I'll find Liam! Over.'

Can you get these idiots back to camp?

I think so. Where are you going?

To find Maddy.

-You can't go, you're our compass!

-It's just a distraction!

One of Liam's tricks, so they'll win!

-Follow the ivy.

-I know.

How does she know where they are?

-She can't do numbers.

-And we've got the map.

She's clever like that. This way.

-Maddy?!

-Where are they?

Maddy?! Liam?!

Rhydian!

Come on.

Help me!

Come on, slowly, slowly.

Careful, we got you.

Agh, my ribs! Ankle, ankle, ankle.

I thought I told you lot to go back to the camp!

What? And leave our team-mates behind, sir?

Yeah, no man left behind!

So, what is half your team doing out here, anyway?

Why don't you ask them, sir?

What happened?!

I thought I told you to stick together!

It's my own fault, sir.

I was exploring and I got lost.

These came to look for me.

What are you doing here? I thought you were in the other group?

Erm... Heard you on the talkie thingy, sir.

-Thought you'd need help.

-How did you get here so quick?

-I ran.

-You ran?

Me, too.

You saw a werewolf?

Yep.

Did Maddy see this "werewolf"?

That's what's weird...

So, sir, since Katrina led our team to victory,

you'll take us to see the head on Monday?

Well actually, we were told it was Jana

and Shannon who led your team to victory.

That was because Jana threw my compass in the river!

River? What were you doing by a river?

That was Ivy's fault.

Who's Ivy?

Jana's imaginary friend!

All that's irrelevant. We had a deal, sir.

Do you really think that now is the right time to talk about this?

I mean, a student could have died today.

And every day, in school, fashion dies!

Fine!

First thing Monday morning WE will talk to him, OK?

Thanks, sir!

He's still staring at us.

Ignore him.

I can't believe I was that stupid.

Leading him to the werewolf den.

I don't want to say I told you so,

but I did warn you.

You saved him, he should be thankful.

Yeah, but now his werewolf theory's not just a theory

and I can't prove him wrong.

He can't prove it right, either.

He'll go on about it for a little while and no-one'll listen.

Maybe, Liam, Maddy didn't see it, cos it wasn't there.

I know what I saw. She was right on top of it,

she had to see something.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless she's the werewolf.

THEY CHUCKLE

-Maddy Smith, a werewolf?

-Yes.

Seriously, man, you're concussed.

Laugh all you want, but I know what I know.

And it all fits together.

-Mum!

-How are you, my beautiful boy?

Your father has been exiled.

You are the new alpha, leader of the pack.

-You come to the school Parents' Evening.

-What?!

-I need a "parent".

-This is madness.

-I know.

-Mum can do this.

And what if she can't?

You will never be allowed to see me again.

I don't know who I am any more.

That's her, isn't it? Rhydian's human mother.

-Get out the way

-Jimi! Jimi!

I'm sorry, Maddy, I have to go.
