Angel Eyes (Vampire Show)

Part Three

(Scene: The Archer's household - A tidy house filled with wood, stakes and bows)

(Characters onstage: Narrator, Mr Archer and Lola Archer)

(Mr Archer throws darts)

Narrator: In the Archer household Mr Archer and his daughter Lola Archer live together after the death of her mother. Since then Mr Archer has never let his daughter out his sight and has trained himself and her in the art of vampire slaying.

Lola Archer: FATHER! FATHER! I HAD THE BEST DAY IN SCHOOL TODAY! IT WAS AMAZING! I met someone!

(Mr Archer sighs)

Mr Archer: Hello Lola, I'm glad you had a good day! Lets hope that you have stayed out of trouble AND that you don't go dating strange men! I mean it Lola! No dating! None at all! You cannot be a slayer and date someone, I'm thinking of you and you know that!

(Lola Archer sighs)

Lola Archer: Yes Father, I know. I understand your concerns but I never wanted to be a slayer! I wanted to be normal! A normal girl that gets invited to the high school dance and actually has friends! It's so unfair! I feel so alone with only my dad for company, I want to hang out with people my own age!

(Mr Archer hugs her)

Mr Archer: You can date someone as long as they pass the vampire test! I MEAN IT LOLA! THEY NEED TO BE TESTED! I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER DATING A VAMPIRE! ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN! This test protects you my dear, it's so I can keep you safe! You know your safety is my main priority! you're my only child! I will not let the undead get their teeth into you!

Lola Archer: THIS MEANS I WILL NEVER HAVE A BOYFRIEND, NO ONE IS GOING TO DATE A GIRL WHO'S DAD TESTS THEM TO SEE IF THEY ARE A VAMPIRE! DAD IT'S INSANE! FOR GOODNESS SAKE! YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT VAMPIRES ACTUALLY EXIST! THEY DON'T DAD! THEY DON'T EXIST! THEY ARE A WORK OF FICTION!

(Mr Archer sighs)

Mr Archer: This is not up for discussion! Your dates WILL be tested for vampirism, if they fail I will stake them! I will not have my daughter dating a vampire and becoming a blood sucker herself! I will not be able to see you again! You'd never be able to see the sun again! Don't you understand Lola! I'm doing this for you because I love you and care about you!

Lola Archer: You're protecting me against something that doesn't exist! I have trained hard as a slayer and not once have I complained but Dad, this goes way to far! you don't want me to date in case the guy is going to suck my blood! come on Dad, this is so stupid! It's not even funny at all! It is just so stupid!

Mr Archer: LOLA! I WILL NOT ALLOW A GUY TO DATE YOU UNLESS I KNOW  THEY ARE NOT A VAMPIRE! FOR GOODNESS SAKE LOLA! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS FIGHT WITH ME! CAN'T YOU SEE I DO THIS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU! BECAUSE I LOVE AND ADORE YOU! YOU'RE MY ONLY CHILD! I CANNOT LOSE YOU!

Lola Archer: Then please Dad, don't try and drive my potential boyfriends away! it's not fair! I hate it, I feel so lonely because everyone I know has had more than one date with someone! Any person that asks me out doesn't again because my father drives them away with his insanity! For God sake dad!

Mr Archer: I don't care if you hate me child! YOU WILL STILL BE ALIVE WITHOUT HOLES IN YOUR NECK! IF YOU HATING ME FOR WHAT I DO KEEPS YOU ALIVE THEN FINE! CARRY ON GIRL!
