Speaker 2: Show School, Welcome Back to Dark Tails Uncovered, Season six.
Curses do not wait for permission. They spread like rock,
creeping into flesh and bone until the body is no
longer its own. The four women fought themselves, victorious Captain
Drake's silenced his treasures, stolen his lockets theirs to claim,
but victory came at a terrible cost. That night, within
the shadows of their hideout, the curse made its first move.
One of them convulsed their body, twisting in ways that
their human bodies should claused, tearing through skin, eyes burning
like with feral light, and what began with greed now
burst terror, and as hunters discover, the curse has chosen
its prey. This is chapter two. The first change the
hideout was decaying was a decaying warehouse on the outskirts
of the harbor, shrouded in shadow and the stink of
salt and mildew. The women had claimed it months ago,
fortifying it into a den of secrets and stolen riches. Tonight,
it felt colder than usual, the air thick with an
uneasy stillness. Ruby tossed the pouch of coins onto the
splintered table with a satisfying clink. Not bad for a
night's work, she said, Forcing a grin Drake's Gold will
keep us in comfort for a while. Cashley sat cross
legged on the floor, turning the tarnished locket over in
her fingers. The rooms carved into its surface seemed to
pulse faintly in the dim light, almost as if they
were alive. This thing gives me the creeps, she muttered.
And stop staring at it, may have said, leaning against
the wall with her arms crossed. Her knuckles were blooded
from the fight, and she seemed unfazed. It's just a trinket.
Toss it with the rest of the loop. It's not
just as Cassidy step, look it up. It's treasure, Ruby
interrupted her, her tone sharp. And it's ours. Whatever it is,
it's valuable. She grabbed the map from her coat pocket
and spread it on to the table. This though, this
is interesting, Lilah joined her, peering over Ruby's shoulder. The
map was old, the edges frayed and stained, but the
ink was clear, a series of jagged islands surrounded by
cryptic symbols. The center was an ominous mark, a black
skull encircled by what looked like waves, pirate treasure, Bila asked,
her voice tinged with excitement. Could be, Ruby said, her
eyes gleaming, And it's if, And if it is, it's
a word a hell of a lot more than what
we grabbed tonight. Before anyone could reply, a loud crash
echoed from the far corner of the room. Everyone turned,
weapons drawn to see May doubled over, clutching her stomach. Mave,
Ruby said, her voice cautious. May have groaned, her fingers
digging into the wall as she staggered forward. Something's wrong,
she gasped, as her skin was slick with sweat and
her breaths came in ragged bursts. Did you get hit
in the fight, Nider asked, stepping closer. May shook her
head violently, her teeth clenched. No, I'm fine, I just
she cried out, falling to her knees. Her body convulsed,
her muscles rippling beneath her skin, as if something inside
her was trying to break free. Her nails grew into claws,
sharp and black, and her pupils narrowed into slits. Mayve
Cassidy screamed, backing away. Ruby grabbed her knife and her
heart pounding, stay back, May if she ordered, but Mave
wasn't listening. She threw her head back and roared, a guttural,
animalistic sound that echoed through the warehouse. Her body twisted,
bones snapping and reforming as as first sprouted along her
arms and legs. Within moments, she was no longer human
but a monstrous hybrid, her form towering and hulking like
some twisted amalgamation of a wolf and a nightmare. What
the hell is happening, Lilah shouted, fumbling for her pistol.
Maid's glowing eyes snapped to her, and in an instant
she lunged Lilah. Filer fired a shot, and the bullet grazed,
with the bullet grazing Maiy's shoulder, but only seemed to
enrage her. She roared again, swiping at Lilah with her claws.
May have stop, Ruby yelled, rushing forward. She grabbed a
nearby chair and swung it, slamming it into May's side.
The impact sik Mave crashing into the table, splitting it
in two. For a moment, everything was still, May lay
motionless in the wreckage, her monstrous form heaving with shallow breaths.
What what just happened? Cassidy whispered, trembling. Ruby approached cautiously,
her knife still in her hand. Mave's fur begin to
began to recede, a claw shrinking back into nails. With
a moment, she was human again, naked and shivering on
the floor. May have opened her eyes, her voice weak.
What what did I do? Ruby knelt beside her, draping
her blanket over her shoulders. You changed, she said, softly,
But we'll figure this out. Cassidy's voice broke the silence.
It's the locket, she said, her hands shaking, and she
held it up. I felt something when I touched it earlier,
something alive. It's cursed. Ruby's jaw tightened. She looked at
the locket and then at the trembling Mave. We need so,
she said, We need them fast outside the wind howd
carrying with it the faint sound of the sea, and
something darker, something ancient and angry, stirring in the night's still.
