Angel Eyes (Vampire Show)

Part Thirteen

(Scene: The Ambrose's household)

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

Narrator: Mr Archer suspects the Ambrose's are vampires... because their son, Isaac told them the truth, that he is indeed in love with a slayer and that he wants to spend his immortality with her... basically he loves her and she loves him...

Miss Caroline Ambrose: Oh for goodness sake! WHERE IS YOUR SON! WE HAVE TO PACK, WE HAVE TO LEAVE AND QUICKLY! IF WE DON'T, WE COULD GET STAKED! I TOLD YOU ISAAC SHOULDN'T BE AROUND MORTALS!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: HOW WAS HE SUPPOSE TO CHOOSE WHO HE FALLS FOR! IF I COULD I WOULDN'T HAVE PICKED A VAMPIRE MYSELF! I SACRIFICED EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING! JUST TO BE WITH HIM! ISAAC WILL TRY AND DO THE SAME! HE PROBABLY KNOWS THAT HIS LOVER CAN NEVER BE IMMORTAL!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Rose, my dear, please stop shouting, I'm just as upset as you are about leaving this place, this has been our home for some time and now... we must leave it. That is our way, that is what we must do and what we shall do.

Miss Caroline Ambrose: I should have taken him! Taken him to where he belongs! RAISED HIM AS HE IS, A VAMPIRE! AN UNDEAD CREATURE THAT DRINKS HUMAN BLOOD FROM THE VEIN AND NOT FROM BLOOD BAGS!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: IF WE HAD DONE THAT, HE'D HAVE NO SOUL, HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOVE ANYONE, WE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED HIM EVER HAVING A LIFE OR A LOVER! WE PICKED WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR US AND WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR US WAS THIS! IT WAS HIM LIVING AS NORMAL A LIFE AS HE COULD WITHOUT BEING CALLED A MONSTER!

Mr Luke Ambrose: ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU! I CANNOT THINK WHEN ALL WE ARE DOING IS SHOUTING! Our son is in love, can we break his heart and force him to leave this place? Force him to find another if he ever can?

Miss Caroline Ambrose: Yes!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: NO! I WILL NOT BREAK HIS HEART! WE MUST FIND A WAY FOR THEM TO BE TOGETHER! THEY LOVE EACH-OTHER AND THAT IS OUR PROBLEM NOW!

Miss Caroline Ambrose: What do you suggest we do? Ignore it?!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: We invite her over for dinner...

Mr Luke Ambrose: We cannot simply eat her!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: NO! NO, NO, NO! YOU SILLY MAN! WE WILL COOK HER DINNER! GET TO KNOW HER AND ACCESS WHETHER SHE CAN ACTUALLY BE WITH ISAAC! THAT WAY WE CAN PREVENT A LENGTHY, PAINFUL HEARTBREAK! I CANNOT AND WILL NOT LIVE WITH MY SON FOREVER WHEN HE IS COMPLETELY HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE WE PULLED HIM AWAY FROM THE ONE HE LOVES!

Miss Caroline: Then why not turn her? Make her one of us, making her understand us, make her walk the night forever! She'll thank us one day! I'm sure of it! She won't stay mad forever!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Having been the victim of that myself, I was filled with sadness and anger for so long. I cannot and will not subject her to that! How can you even THINK about ending her human life?!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Because Mr Archer will not be able to stake his own daughter... No father can simply stake their child's heart. Your father didn't and he knew about your condition, it is just simply something that happens in life, we learn to love and deal with it, nothing else we can do.

Mrs Rose Ambrose: LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW! YOU HAVE BEEN A VAMPIRE SINCE BIRTH! I HAVEN'T BEEN! I WAS ONCE HUMAN AND I PAID THE PRICE FOR MY ETERNAL YOUTH AND BEAUTY! SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD GO BACK, FIX THINGS BUT I CAN'T! ALL BECAUSE I FELL INLOVE WITH A VAMPIRE AND THAT VAMPIRE TOOK THE EASY OPTION AND FORCED ME TO BE LIKE HIM! I WILL NOT MAKE MY SON MAKE THAT DECISION!

Miss Caroline Ambrose: WE HAVE NO CHOICE! CAN YOUR YEARS NOT TELL YOU THAT WE WILL NEVER STOP BEING HUNTED! WE WILL FOREVER TO HUNTED DOWN TO THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD! MR ARCHER WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL ISAAC AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY ARE DEAD! COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DEAD!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: IF WE TURN HER, WE FACE THE SAME PROBLEM! HER AND HER FATHER MAY TRY TO KILL US! ALL OF US! INCLUDING ISAAC BECAUSE ALL SHE'LL KNOW IS SOMETHING HAS BEEN RIPPED AWAY FROM HER AND SHE CAN NO LONGER FEEL THE SUN!

(Enter Isaac Ambrose - Stage Left)

Mr Luke Ambrose: SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU! THIS IS ISAAC'S CHOICE, IT'S HIS CHOICE OF ACTION, NOT OUR OWN! IT'S HIM WHO WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT HAPPENS!

Isaac Ambrose: I will not turn her, I will not turn my Lola! I love her just the way she is and I promised I'd look after her so that is what I will do!
