Going Underground Wolfblood

-Who's Alric?

-I've come for Rhydian's pelt.

-Liam!

-Help!

-I'm stuck!

-We are enemies now.

Dad!

This is it! This must be the werewolf den!

Get out of it!

-Maddy Smith, a werewolf?

-Yes.

No Liam, Maddy or Rhydian?

Does anyone have any idea of their whereabouts?

No...

Today is the start of your English speaking presentations.

I trust you all have something prepared!

-Where's your presentation, Katrina?

-Yeah, you're on after me.

-Katrina...?

-Where are they?

Well, it is a full moon tonight, isn't it?

So maybe they're 'letting off steam'.

Lucky for some...

We lost him.

# 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. #

Ah, Liam!

Our very own Indiana Jones returns.

I trust you are fully recovered?

-Yes, sir.

-Excellent.

Next time you want to miss school, there is no point in throwing

yourself down a hole, just catch a cold, like everyone else.

Seen any more werewolves, mate?

LOUD ELECTRONIC RINGING

Argh! Argh!

Argh!

Maddy!

RINGING STOPS

That's it! Pylons.

-What?

-I've got an idea. Quick!

Thank you very much, Beth.

The next presentation will be in a few moments.

-Voicemail.

-Same as Rhydian.

Probably chickened out of his presentation!

Here!

No humans to hide you this time.

What do you want, Alric?

I want my pack, I want my daughter! But as I cannot have them,

I will have the one that took them from me.

-Rhydian!

-Well, you can't have him,

-because my pack will be here any second.

-What's that to me?

-Jana's with them.

-She can't be.

STATIC ELECTRONIC RINGING

-Jana's a trick, right?

-Duh! Come on!

Kara!

Please, Shannon! You just have to sit there.

Use Katrina, or Kay!

Kara?

Go!

All right, fine...

Brill! Remember...

just sit there.

-SHE MOUTHS

-My presentation is entitled...

"Make-up - Can It Make Anyone Fabulous?"

The whole point of make-up is to accentuate the positives,

to bring out the real you, hidden away by all these barriers

-and insecurities.

-No... Wait...

Today, I'm going to show you just what can be achieved

with a little bit of lip gloss and eyeliner.

Let's see if we can bring this turtle out of its shell.

I'll ring Mum and Dad and just tell them that Alric...

No way! If they come rushing out, they'll be like sitting ducks!

-They can't even use Eolas!

-You're in danger.

And they don't have to be. And neither do you.

So what time do you call this?

I'm going down those tunnels tonight. I'll catch a werewolf.

-And it's a full moon.

-The only reason you got out of there

-last time was cos Maddy was there to save you.

-Yeah...

-I'm not so sure about her.

-What?

The werewolf went straight past her. How didn't she see it?

Cos she's not crazy, Liam.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE

What happened to you two?

-Alric.

-What?!

He ambushed us this morning, on the way to school.

-We've been running from Alric.

-But you've lost him, right?

-Rhydian! You're cutting it fine!

-Miss?

Come along. You're next.

Come on.

So...basically, you've got to give a presentation... Good luck.

-Have you any visual materials?

-No, Miss.

It's the speaking that's important.

All right, everyone, settle down.

Our next presentation is from Rhydian.

Er... Hi.

Erm... My presentation is on...

Mud-wrestling?!

Erm...

..being in foster care.

-Being in foster care is...

-Oh!

It's sometimes...

It's basically when...

-Right, what is up with you?

-You've had a face on all day.

My parents are coming home.

Right, have I missed something? That's good, right?

-No more eating your Gran's cooking!

-No more E-cards from Dubai!

Dad's business failed.

We have to sell the house, and the car...and probably Gran.

I was supposed to do my presentation on my dad's career

as an architect, but I can't do that if he hasn't got one, can I?

And...I don't want to be poor.

-Oh!

-RHYDIAN: It's OK, really.

I've not, you know...

I don't mind... SCHOOL BELL RINGS

-We'd better leave it there.

-SCATTERED APPLAUSE

Where've you been, Van Helsing?

Van Helsing hunted vampires.

And you're going to need to know the difference

-when you're coming down the tunnels tonight.

-You're joking?

-Look,

there's a werewolf in those tunnels. I'm giving you - my mates -

the chance to share the glory of finding it with me.

You bust your ankle, or your head?

We'll pass, thanks.

Have fun, er, hunting fairies, or whatever.

We tricked him into using Eolas under the power lines and got away.

-We just bought time.

-But you're safe here, right?

It's not like he'll risk coming back here again?

He's got nothing left to lose! School's not going to stop him now.

Alric won't give up. Not until he has me.

HE CLUCKS LIKE A CHICKEN

-Shut up!

-Are you scared to come with me?

Why would we be scared of imaginary animals?!

Or maybe you're just scared of the dark, then! Or mud!

-Or worms!

-We're not scared.

-Then come with me.

You're my mates...

Fine. We'll go 'werewolf hunting'.

-It's not like there's...anything to hunt.

-You hope.

Boy!

Where's Rhydian?

I dunno.

Girl...where is Rhydian?

I think he went in the darkroom. Over there.

A "please" and "thank you" wouldn't kill you!

Who was that?!

I'll face him in the woods.

-I can't put you guys at risk cos of me.

-We're your pack.

We'll put ourselves at risk for you whether you like it or not.

Excuse me...

-Can I help you?

-The dark room, where is it?

Who are you, exactly?

-Where is Rhydian?!

-RHYDIAN SNIFFS

He's here.

I've got to get him out!

-No!

-You're not facing Alric on your own!

Wait there. We have to move...fast.

I think I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Now!

HE GROWLS

PUPILS SCREAM

Jeffries is going to call the police!

How's that going to help, if Alric wolfs out?

They can't lock him up on a full moon!

What do you want to do? WE can't go after THEM!

We know who can.

-What did she say?

-Head for the woods near the school!

-So, now what?

-I don't know!

-I thought you had a plan!

-This was it! Run!

You go back. If I face him, I can end it.

Not if he kills you.

Go!

Meet me at the river.

Rhydian!

It will lose our scent.

-Anything?

-No.

We'll try the crossroads!

SHE COUGHS

Told you!

HE LAUGHS

GROWLING

Maddy!

Alric!

-Please...

-I've lost everything. Now it's your turn!

This way!

Look, you want me, Alric? OK, I'm here!

I give up, I'm all yours!

Let Maddy go...please.

Why?!

Why should I show this one mercy?

What mercy did you show my daughter?

Rhydian saved her!

-Maddy...

-You abandoned her, Alric. He didn't.

GROWLING

Jana...

Maddy!

What did you do to him?

Told him the truth.

He was Jana's dad.

She's a former pupil. Traveller family.

-He...blamed me.

-He blamed you? For what?

Jana leaving.

Because him and her were close.

-Weren't you?

-Alric thought that I was something to do with Jana...

But we've sorted all that now.

We've talked to him about it and he's well on his way back to...

-Wales.

-Give me a call if you get any more trouble.

-Sure. Thank you. Will do.

-Thanks.

-Take care.

Can I just say, getting involved like that - very brave!

No, no, no... Perks of the job.

Right... We'll pick you up later.

Why don't you come round for dinner?

SHE HOWLS JOKINGLY

Why didn't you come to me sooner?

-I thought I could handle it.

-You know, sometimes, Rhydian,

the bravest thing that you can do is ask for help.

Lecture over. Go and get some lunch.

Consider your presentation saved!

-What?

-We figured...

if you can't talk about your dad, you can

talk about a project he worked on!

But I don't know anything about...

We thought of that. No offence!

Which is why we've done all the research -

everything you need

for a fabulous presentation!

You guys are amazing!

What are you two looking at?

-Ah!

-Oh, my goodness!

-Who was that bloke?

-He was massive!

-Looking for you.

-And he found me.

-And?

And...none of your business.

So...?

So, it's OK. It's over now.

-What happened?

-Alric sort of...

He let us go.

He let you go?

Something...snapped, in his head.

He just... One look at Maddy and...

-I dunno...

-Like a wild wolfblood breakdown?

Maybe. We don't know.

But it's OK now. It's over.

Even in massive deserts like Dubai, going green is the challenge

most designers and architects like my dad have to face...

What's wrong?

-I'm worried about him.

-Alric?

-Why?

-Because...

I can't get it out of my head, the look on his face.

He tried to kill me.

I know... It's just, he's lost everything, Mads.

So what? He deserved it.

Not if it was my fault.

You did the right thing, for Jana, for all of us.

I really hurt him. I can't just pretend like I didn't.

Then don't.

But it's done now, so let's just leave it at that, yeah?

-Yeah?

-Any questions?

APPLAUSE

RHYDIAN SNIFFS

Where did you get all this stuff?

-A boot sale?

-Yeah.

-We look like idiots.

That's where I saw the werewolf.

And Maddy.

-After you, then, wolf-man.

-THEY LAUGH

It's over, isn't it?

For thousands of years, we've lived wild. Free.

But now its light fades, the wild with it.

And all the while, humans strengthen.

-We're half-human too.

-You sound like Jana.

Or maybe she just sounded like you.

She loved all this.

It was like her own little world.

The wild is a wolfblood's natural world.

Yet every day, it withers, as your friends' human world grows.

I cannot...

I will not love that world.

No-one's trying to make you. You can live how you want.

The wild packs that remain will not welcome an alpha in exile.

-Then don't join a pack.

-No wolfblood survives alone.

I did.

I thought I was going to be on my own my whole life.

My pack found me.

Not a pack like yours, with an alpha, not even all wolfbloods.

But it's the only pack I want.

Being alone's hard,

but you don't know what's going to happen or who you're going to meet!

It's a fresh start.

And if I can survive, then you definitely can.

You're wrong if you think you've no alpha.

-What do you mean?

-Your tame friend.

Her name's Maddy.

She was a friend of Jana's too.

-The world changes fast.

-Humans change fast.

Thank you.

Thank you, Rhydian.

I will heed your words.

I will start again on my own.

See what happens.

You know, sometimes, the bravest thing to do is just...

ask for help.

ROCKS CRUMBLE

THE BOYS SCREAM

What is happening?!

-What was that?!

-Is it collapsing?!

Bet you're glad you had your hat on now, eh?

Liam! This is crazy!

THEY COUGH

Tonight is full moon. My first as a lone wolf.

What will you do?

I'll spend it with my alpha.

-Good luck.

-You too.

Wait! My battery's gone.

-We're going to die down here.

-Just use your phone.

Liam! Liam, wait for us!

-MUFFLED:

-Jimi... Jimi...

Wait for me!

Wait for me...

This is stupid, we're not getting anywhere.

It's hard to breathe...

It's a dead-end.

Sam, turn around.

-He didn't eat you, then?

-How did you...?

-I'm not stupid.

HE LAUGHS

What?

Nothing, it's good.

Everything's...good.

I see you decided to join us, then?

Yeah. I've got somewhere to go.

People to go to.

I'm lucky.

I think I'm going to be sick!

Right, then... Den!

THEY HOWL

HOWLS ECHO IN CAVE

-Liam?

-Shh!

This is where it came from. We've found it!

I told you!

Is this where the werewolf is?

-I don't understand.

-No. It's a dead-end...

-But we heard it...

-Let's go back.

Go back where? We've gone miles! We don't know where we are!

So we're stuck down here in the dark?!

I knew this was a bad idea! You've got us all killed, you know that?!

-PHONE BEEPS

-I've got Wi-Fi...

-Great, we can e-mail for help(!)

-We must be near a building.

Look... I think I saw something.

It's a wall.

Hello? Anyone there?

FAINT GROWLING

What was that?

Grr! THEY SCREAM

I know what you are.

There's a werewolf in Stoneybridge.

Are you asking me out on a date?

I've been talking to Dr Whitewood.

We're going back into the werewolf lair.

What do we do?

Occam's razor.

That's the answer, Occam's razor.

'Rhydian, call me!'

Dr Whitewood's got Dad's DNA.

-Hello, Maddy.

-She knows everything!

Stop!

Quick... Go!

Tell us you've found a way out of this!
