When Angela left to her room, Jeremy decided to give his housekeeper a lecture as well about allowing Angela to wander freely without supervision.

Jeremy: How did you allow Angela to go out like this in the middle of the lesson?

Lisa: Jeremy, she only wanted to go out for a scroll. She wasn't being a naughty girl.

Lisa: You need to treat her with the respects she deserves too.

Jeremy: There's someone else in this house that needs to be treated the same way and that's me.

Jeremy: If she wants to take a stroll, she could do this before or after a lesson. Not during.

Lisa: She didn't take a stroll in the middle of a lesson.

Lisa: She told me you weren't interested and yet you still get mad at her for something trivial?

Lisa: Maybe you need to pay more attention if you want to get better in your studies.

Jeremy: You're telling me to interact with new people, but make excuses for her instead?

Jeremy: How is this helping me?

Lisa: Watch your tone, Jeremy. Stop jumping to conclusions right away.

Lisa: It's the first day and you're already acting so ridiculous.

Jeremy walked away from her looking very upset and pissed that no one sided with him.

Lisa: On the inside. How should I deal with him? I'm only trying to help him.

Angela was still in her room feeling upset that Jeremy scolded her and then Lisa came inside to comfort her because she couldn't bear to see her feeling down as well.

Angela: I don't know why he doesn't want me to talk to other people.

Lisa: I'm sorry for how Jeremy spoke to you. I tried to tell him to respect you more.

Angelique: I don't expect him to. I mean I'm not his housekeeper, you are.

Lisa: Yes, but you're a tutor and he's your student. Like you said, he isn't above you.

Angela: I don't think he's fond of me being his tutor.

Lisa: But he needs to get better in his studies with your help.

Lisa: Please stay with us a few more days. If he still doesn't change, you can leave.

Angela: Okay I will. It's only my first time in this household so I won't give up easily.

Angela: I just hope that over time we will get to know each other better.

After a while, Angela started exploring some areas in the house until she finally came across a long black piano in the middle of the living room. She was totally intrigued by it and she sat down near the piano and wondered if she could play it. Then she recognized the music notes on the book, sat in front of the piano, and started to play it by pressing the correct bars. But unknown to her Jeremy was nearby watching and when he saw she was playing the piano, it brought him a painful, melancholic memory.

He had a flashback of his mom playing the same song on the piano right in front of him when he was a little boy. Young Jeremy was sitting on a little chair and smiling while hearing her play.

Jeremy: Angela, you play the song very well.

Angela: Got up from the piano and said. I'm sorry, Jeremy. I didn't mean to play it without your permission.

Jeremy: It's alright.... I would prefer it if you continued playing it.

Angela: Are you sure?

Jeremy: Yes, I'm sure, Angela.

Angela: Okay as you wish.

She sat down in front of the piano and played it again.

Jeremy: He thought to himself. How can she play the piano so well? No one else played it as good as my mom.

He felt very emotional deep down hearing the soft pitch of the music and he walked away.

During nighttime again when both Lisa and Angela were sleeping, Jeremy decided to go out for a walk wearing a black coat and his skin glowed even in the dark. After a while of taking a stroll around the neighborhood, there were two girls seen viewing him from a distance. They began to talk about how good looking he was.

Girl #1: Never seen someone taking a walk this late at night.

Girl #2: Me neither. That guy is very handsome don't you think?

Girl #1: Indeed...Still very odd for a man like him to be wandering around in the dark.

Girl #2: Girl, he will hear us. Let's talk quieter because he's coming closer.

Girl #1: Doesn't matter...I would like to talk to him myself.

Jeremy walked closer to them.

Girl #1: Hey handsome, can I have your number?

Jeremy: Smiled strangely at them. I don't have one...But aren't you girls afraid of talking to strangers this late at night?

Girl #1: No why would we be?

Girl #1: I fancy you. Let's have fun together.

Jeremy: Sure why not? I would like to have some fun too.

He got closer to her face and looked at her with a lot of determination. He was very thirsty as a vampire and he wanted to quench his thirst.

Girl #1: Are you trying to kiss me?

Jeremy: Hmm...I like you. Close your eyes for a bit.

He reached closer to her neck and aggressively bit into it so hard.

Girl #1: Ahhhh....

Jeremy continued to suck blood from her until he dropped her dead body to the ground and the second girl covered her mouth with her hands. She looked really terrified. She tried to run away, but it was futile to run away from a vampire like him.

Jeremy: Sorry, I can't let you go. I'm still so hungry.

Girl #2: HELP ME!!!

He bit into her neck and eventually dropped her dead body on the ground like he did with the first girl.

Jeremy: On the inside. I may be handsome, but I can be like a beast sometimes. He walked away after having his "dinner" as if nothing happened.
