Angel Eyes (Vampire Show)

Part Seventeen

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

(Everyone but narrator is sitting down and eating)

Narrator: After hearing the news from Mr Archer, Lola's father, Isaac realised he needs to warn his family, to get them back to the world they once lived in, a world where they would be safe.

Caroline Ambrose: Where is my nephew?! That son of yours is nothing but trouble! Falling in-love with a mortal! IT'LL END IN BLOOD-SHED AND TEARS! JUST YOU WAIT! SHE'LL STAKE HIM OR BREAK HIS HEART AND WE WILL ALL TRAVEL HOME WHERE HE IS MEANT TO BE! WITH PEOPLE HE IS MEANT TO LIVE WITH! HE WILL LEARN TO BE A PROPER VAMPIRE! NONE OF THIS NEW-AGE NONSENSE!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Caroline, please, you are too hot-headed for your own good, Isaac is a good boy, he will be back soon, I know he will. He is just trying to impress the young ladies dad!

(Enter Isaac Ambrose - Stage Left)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: See, Luke was right, our son is home!

Isaac Ambrose: WE NEED TO PACK! WE NEED TO GO! WE HAVE TO PACK OUR BAGS AND RUN FOR THE OTHER WORLD! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!

Mr Luke Ambrose: WHAT?!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: What is the matter son?!

Caroline Ambrose: Finally, the boy begins to make sense! IT'S A MIRACLE! I KNEW MY INFLUENCE COULD ONLY BE GOOD FOR HIM!

Isaac Ambrose: MOTHER, FATHER, CAROLINE! SLAYERS ARE COMING! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US! WE MUST FLEE! WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE WHAT WE CAN AND GET OUT OF THIS WORLD! COME ON! I'M NOT JOKING!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Son, the portal between worlds is shutting for us, you know that! If we go, we will never be able to return here. You will never be able to see Lola again, Caroline damaged the portal and that's why she's stayed with us

Isaac Ambrose: No... No Lola? THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Son, we didn't want to tell you, we didn't think we'd need to, we never thought that you would love someone of this world. We will never return if we go, it is a one way trip my son.

(Isaac Ambrose cries)

Isaac Ambrose: I can't even live with her until she dies?! I can't be with her until her mortality fades?! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?! WHAT SORT OF CRUEL TRICK IS THIS?! I WANTED TO BE WITH HER AND NOW I WILL LOSE HER NO MATTER WHAT!

Caroline Ambrose: We aren't suppose to fall in-love with mortals, that is the curse of this life. Oh Isaac, she is just one girl, if we go back to our world you can have your pick of any girl, anyone at all. You can love any eligible vampire!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Caroline, that is not helping! NOW GO PACK UP! Son, saying goodbye to this girl is the right thing for all of us, for our family! Come on son, cheer-up! In a few years, you won't even know her name.

(Enter Lola Archer - Stage Left)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Son, your father and I made a choice when he had to leave, this is Lola's choice now, you MUST ask her! She can come with us to the supernatural realm! The family will keep her safe, I promise you that son but the price is high for her... I know it is... you have to ask her if she'll join this family as a vampire!

Isaac Ambrose: I could never ask her, I could never do that to her, I could never force her to stay the same age that she is, I cannot force her to give up her mortality and her soul to spend and endless amount of time with a creature like me...

Caroline Ambrose: Then don't ask her, give her no choice in the matter, give her no say! Bite her! Turn her into one of us, make her live at your side forever, she will forgive you in a couple of centuries... I think... I hope...

(Exit Lola Archer - Stage Left)

Isaac Ambrose: Do you not care at all?! THIS IS A HUMAN LIFE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS THE HEART OF THE ONE I LOVE THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! I COULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING TO HER! TO DAMN HER TO WALK THE SHADOWS IN SHAME FEELING GUILTY BECAUSE SHE PREYS ON HUMANS! NO! NEVER! I REFUSE!

Mr Luke Ambrose: QUIET! BOTH OF YOU! I sense a slayer was here... a female slayer...

Isaac Ambrose: Lola!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: What?!

Isaac Ambrose: She must have been listening... WHAT DID SHE HEAR?! OH MY GOODNESS WHAT HAVE I DONE! I MUST FIND HER!

Caroline Ambrose: No! DON'T BE STUPID! SHE'S PROBABLY LONG GONE!

(Exit Isaac Ambrose - Stage Left)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Someone go find Isaac! Tell him to meet us in the park! He's probably dead upset about Caroline's speech!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Caroline! GO!

(Lola Archer hides)

Caroline Ambrose: but!

Mr Luke Ambrose and Mrs Rose Ambrose: GO!

(Exit Caroline Ambrose - Stage Left)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: My son, my poor son! I CANNOT LOSE HIM AS WELL!

Mr Luke Ambrose: We won't, Caroline will find him and everything will be alright! Calm down dear, we will be in the other world soon and hopefully Isaac won't be too broken-hearted about this human girl business... Come on dear, lets go, leave this place behind and go before the slayers get us.

(Exit Luke Ambrose - Stage Left)

(Exit Mrs Rose Ambrose - Stage Left)

Lola Archer: What have I done?! WHAT HAS MY FATHER DONE?! ISAAC WILL GO AND NEVER COME BACK! I HAVE TO GET TO THE PARK! WAIT! ISAAC!

(Exit Lola Archer - Stage Left)
