### **Episode 4: Fleeing the Dawn**

#### Present Day in Iceland - The Interview

The unnamed boy shifts in his seat, waiting for Blake to continue the story. Blake leans back, his eyes clouded with old memories as Giulio quietly steps into the room. Giulio's presence halts the boy's next question as he watches Blake closely. There's a brief, silent exchange between the two, then Giulio calmly asks:

**Giulio**: "Blake, do you need...?"

Before the boy can process what's happening, Blake swiftly turns toward Giulio, baring his fangs. In a flash, Blake bites into Giulio's neck, drinking deeply. Giulio stands unmoving, unfazed. The boy watches in stunned silence as the scene unfolds before him.

When Blake pulls back, wiping the blood from his lips, he gives Giulio a quiet nod. Giulio steps back, leaving the room just as calmly as he entered. The unnamed boy, finally finding his voice, asks:

**Unnamed Boy**: "You still drink from him?"

**Blake Aliu** (calm, but tired): "I do what I must. You asked for the truth-this is part of it."

The boy hesitates, but then urges Blake to continue his story.

**Unnamed Boy**: "You mentioned you ran after Sebastian turned you. Why? What happened after?"

Blake takes a deep breath, his gaze distant as he delves back into the past.

#### Flashback to 1910: The Night of Blake's Escape

Blake had barely slept after Sebastian turned him into a vampire. His mind raced, overwhelmed by the hunger and confusion of his new existence. The early hours of the morning, before the sun rose, were filled with a gnawing panic. He had to get away, had to find something familiar.

**Blake Aliu** (thinking): *I can't stay here. I need to go home...*

Without a word to Sebastian, Blake fled the house. He sprinted through the darkened streets, his senses heightened but chaotic, unfamiliar. He wasn't thinking clearly-only that his family was the only place that felt real anymore.

When he finally reached his family's home, the sky was just beginning to lighten. The front door stood there, mere feet away, but he couldn't bring himself to knock. He could hear his mother's voice inside, his sister laughing, the sounds of his life before... but they felt distant. Too far.

He raised his hand to knock, but a sharp, searing pain shot through his skin as the first rays of sunlight touched his arm. He gasped, jerking back.

**Blake Aliu** (whispering): "What's happening to me...?"

His skin began to blister, the pain intensifying by the second. Blake stumbled, backing away from the sunlight, but it was too late-the sun was rising faster than he could move. He was burning alive.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed him, pulling him into the shadows.

**Sebastian Contini** (gritting his teeth): "Do you have a death wish?"

Sebastian, furious but protective, yanked Blake back into the alley, shielding him from the sun with his own body.

**Blake Aliu** (gasping, in pain): "I... I didn't know... I just wanted to go home."

**Sebastian Contini** (with a sharp edge): "You're not ready for that, Blake. You're a vampire now. The sun will kill you."

Sebastian's eyes softened, seeing Blake's panic. He knew the transformation was terrifying, but Blake's recklessness could have gotten him killed. He tightened his grip on Blake's shoulder, forcing him to look him in the eye.
