Angel Eyes (Vampire Show)

Part Seven

(Scene: The Ambrose households living room)

(Characters onstage:  Narrator, Mr Luke Ambrose, Mrs Rose Ambrose and Isaac Ambrose)

(Mr Luke Ambrose and Mrs Rose Ambrose are sitting on the sofa)

(Isaac Ambrose is near the stage right door)

(There is a TABLE in-between the sofa and the end of the stage)

Narrator: After learning about the school party, Isaac has decided to tell his parents that he wants to go... I don't think that will go down well

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Hello Isaac son, You're late! Dinners on the table, it is probably warm by  now!

Isaac Ambrose: Thank mum but I'm sure it's fine... it probably tastes the same as usual to be honest. I mean blood is blood.

Mr Luke Ambrose: Yeah, this batch is old, half frozen and disgusting... that's the problem with human blood. It is just so unpredictable!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: WELL NEXT TIME I WON'T BOTHER BRING BLOOD HOME FOR YOU TWO, YOU TWO CAN JUST GO HUNGRY!

(Isaac Ambrose walks over to the table and picks up the bag of blood)

Isaac Ambrose: I'll just eat this in my room while you two talk, I promise I'll come out when I am finished...

(Isaac Ambrose walks to the right stage exit door and walks off stage)

Mr Luke Ambrose: I merely meant that it isn't like animal blood, with this blood there is no chase before you eat your prey... I SAY WE GO OUT HUNTING FOR THIS ESTATES PETS!

(Mrs Rose Ambrose sighs)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: And what exactly are you going to do when someone sees or there are no pets left! Then what?!

(Mr Luke Ambrose sighs)

Mr Luke Ambrose: I don't know. I understand we had to move from the other world. Blood got so expensive, we couldn't afford it anymore... I understand that, I really do but it doesn't make living here any easier and we cannot move Isaac back, he will starve in the other world or be forced to drink...

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Don't say it!

Mr Luke Ambrose: ZOMBIE BLOOD!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: I SAID DON'T SAY IT! FOR GOODNESS SAKE! DO YOU WANT TO UPSET OUR SON?! WE NEED TO PROTECT HIM, ZOMBIE BLOOD HAS ALL KINDS OF NASTY EFFECTS! WE ARE STAYING HERE UNTIL THE PRICE OF BLOOD DIVES DOWN AND THAT IS FINAL! I MEAN IT! THAT IS FINAL AND COMPLETELY NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION!

(Enter Isaac Ambrose - Stage Right - carrying an empty blood bag)

(Isaac Ambrose puts it on the table and sits on the arm of the chair)

Isaac Ambrose: Mum, thanks for dinner... I need to ask you something...

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Oh no...

Mr Luke Ambrose: What is it son?

Isaac Ambrose: There is this... party going on and I... I really want to go, like really want to go. I'm not going with anyone I promise but I need to go!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Will people know that you're different if you don't?

Isaac Ambrose: Sort of, they will know something is different about me... So can I go?

Mr Luke Ambrose: You may just stay out of trouble!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: You can attend anything that you need to so our identity remains a hidden secret.

(Isaac Ambrose hugs them both and smiles)

Mr Luke Ambrose: You will need a suit if it is formal so I want you to go online, find a store that delivers suits at night.

(Isaac Ambrose nods)

(Exit Isaac Ambrose - Stage Right)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Our son got himself invited to a party!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Yes... it must be his good looks, he gets those from me!

(Mrs Rose Ambrose laughs)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Of course he does... not! He gets his hair colour my side of the family! We have the best hair!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Yes but my side have amazing bone structure, it allows us to pull off any look. He is lucky, he inherited it from me.

Mrs Rose Ambrose: You mean he got it from my side of the family?!

Narrator: Well if we waited for them to agree, we'd be here all night so I think it's best if we don't wait... They argue a lot but I suppose after years of marriage, it's bound to happen.

(Lights dim)
