The first time she asks for help give her the book and then use the wait option in the room. Do not leave the room. You must have a defence again the vampyre, the rosary or pamela's bracelet are the main ones
What you describe is that the vampyre attached but ran away. The following night triggers the bad end ALWAYS the only way to avoid is find the vampyres resting place and charm her there before night falls
I must've missed that then, because I checked everywhere, talked with everyone, and there does not seem to be anything do to. The game gave me an end game options as well, so I'm guessing I missed something important. Especially since the epilogue kept mentioning things that should not be possible, like mom being okay with me and Tracy being lovers even though she ran away with Gabby. I never met Anita, got shot by her, and basically half the things I've done or people I've met in the murder path did not appear in the apprentice bath.
I'll probably have to start over regardless, this time talking with Kate in the park, instead if Debra.
Also, checked the Sarah part, and when I go to meet her, it says there is another unknown woman there with her. Kind of weird that Ronald does not do anything or is unaware that his niece is turned like that.
