It's a bite. It hurts. It heals fast. You start to change - you feel stronger, healthier. Confident. Better. Your head clears. Everything... mends.
[ That's not how it worked for Jackson. Not how it worked for Scott, for the most part, given how quick he was to get angry, and it's... it's not how it worked for Paige. But it's how it worked for Erica, Isaac and Boyd. They needed the bite. Derek ignores the voice in his head telling him that Tate might not need it the way they did. ]
Best time to bite is after the full moon. Gives you time to learn how to deal with the change before that comes - the surges of power, the dizzying rush of endorphins. The full moon is...
[ Derek could prey on Tate. Tell him the full moon is a better high than anything else he'd ever experience. A stronger rush. It wouldn't be a lie, but he knows that Tate relies on drugs, and he knows that it would be manipulative. He can't - say that. ]
It's - a lot to deal with, when you first get bitten. Intense.
