Angel Eyes (Vampire Show)

Part Eighteen

(Scene: A park with lots of trees)

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

Narrator: The family are all prepared to leave all they need now is their son and Caroline...

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Don't walk through until our son is here!

Mr Luke Ambrose: What about my sister Caroline?! She deserves to come with us!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: That's down to opinion... Oh you're right, I'm sorry Luke, I'm just upset, if Isaac hadn't gone and fallen in-love with this slayer, everything would be ok and we would be safe! WE WOULDN'T NEED TO RUN AWAY LIKE COWARDS!

(Enter Caroline Ambrose and Isaac Ambrose - Stage Left)

Caroline Ambrose: Well, your son doesn't want to go but I reckon he understands that he has to go

Isaac Ambrose: I can speak for myself! No I don't want to go! I don't want to leave my Lola behind and spend eternity alone but I am going so our family is safe and the hunters don't come looking for us!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Sweetheart, we understand that, we understand you're upset but this is one of them things that couldn't have easily been prevented. Everything will be ok once we are back where we belong son, you'll see!

Isaac Ambrose: No it won't mother! I LOVE LOLA! I DON'T CARE THAT SHE'S A SLAYER! I LOVE HER AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE THAT WE ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER! WE ARE SOUL-MATES! WHATEVER HAPPENS YOU CANNOT TAKE AWAY THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR EACH-OTHER! I WILL LOVE HER FOREVER!

Mr Luke Ambrose: What about us? We are your family Isaac! We love you and we only want the best for you! I cannot see you heart-broken but I cannot see our family hurt either! You need to make the choice my son, do you want to be with her which could kill you or do you want to forsake her and find someone of your own kind?

Isaac Ambrose: I don't know father! IT'S TOO HARD TO CHOOSE!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Come on son! You need to decide and sooner rather than later, you know that once the portal is open, we can't go back and we will never be able to buy a new portal! It isn't that simple, you only have one portal per family and we haven't got anymore uses left.

Isaac Ambrose: I understand father but that doesn't mean I have to like my options, either choice has it's sacrifices, it's horrible sacrifices. I lose Lola or I lose my family, it's so cruel! Why did life deal me this hand?! 

Caroline Ambrose: Because that is life! FOR GOODNESS SAKE ISAAC! GROW UP! THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE OTHER WORLD THAT YOU CAN LOVE! YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE, YOU HAVE TO CHOICE BETWEEN A SLAYER AND YOUR OWN FAMILY?! WE HAVE ALL HAD TO MAKE SACRIFICES! IT MIGHT NOT BE FAIR BUT IT IS LIFE!

Mr Luke Ambrose: CAROLINE!

Isaac Ambrose: HOW CAN I CHOOSE BETWEEN MY FAMILY AND HER?! HOW CAN I CHOOSE WHO TO PICK! I LOVE BOTH YOU LOT AND HER! I HATE THIS CHOICE! I HATE THIS HAND I HAVE BEEN DEALT! IT'S THE WORST HAND EVER! HOW CAN ANYONE CHOOSE?! HOW CAN I BE EXPECTED TO?!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Well you can stop shouting for a start and make your choice, we are all here

Caroline Ambrose: I don't see the big deal, he's known her a few days and already he wants her blood, isn't it obvious? He's going to kill her! Don't you see that?! He wants her blood and one day he'll take it, he'll sink his vampire teeth into her!

(Isaac Ambrose's teeth grow)

Isaac Ambrose: ENOUGH! I AM NOT LIKE YOU! I AM NOT A MONSTER! I DO NOT KILL PEOPLE!

(Enter Lola Archer - Stage Left)

Lola Archer: ISAAC! WAIT!

(Lola Archer runs towards Isaac Ambrose)

(Caroline Ambrose grabs her arm and pulls Lola towards herself)

Mr Luke Ambrose: CAROLINE!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Caroline Ambrose: There is another option, we could kill the slayers. Lets start with this poor fragile thing

(Caroline Ambrose's fangs grow)

Isaac Ambrose: DON'T! I MEAN IT CAROLINE! I WILL NOT SEE HER DIE! NOT NOW, NOT EVER!

Caroline Ambrose: Oh dear me, you're such a boring person! If you love her bite her! TURN HER INTO ONE OF US!

Lola Archer: Let go of me!

(Caroline Ambrose throws her onto the floor)

(Lola Archer gets a cut on her HAND)

Isaac Ambrose: Lola! You're hurt! Let me... let me help you

Lola Archer: No, stay there, I'm okay... I don't want you feeling... uncomfortable....

Mr Luke Ambrose: CAROLINE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU'RE TEMPTING HIM TO HURT THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE?! ARE YOU COMPLETELY HEARTLESS?!

Isaac Ambrose: DAD! I WOULD NEVER HURT HER!

Lola Archer: Isaac, please, calm down!

Isaac Ambrose: NO! I CAN'T CALM DOWN! I WON'T CALM DOWN!

(Isaac Ambrose's teeth grow)

Mrs Rose Ambrose: Isaac! Calm down! CAROLINE! NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

Mr Luke Ambrose: Son, you've got to calm down!

Isaac Ambrose: I CAN'T!

Mrs Rose Ambrose: You're going to have to! Son, you're scaring her! You're scaring Lola!

Isaac Ambrose: I can't control it!

(Isaac Ambrose moves closer to Lola Archer and grabs her cut)

Lola Archer: Isaac! Don't! Please! I love you!

Isaac Ambrose: I can't help myself!

Lola Archer: Angel Eyes!

(Isaac Ambrose stops and falls back)

Isaac Ambrose: I'm so sorry Lola, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have tried to hurt you! THIS IS WHY YOUR DAD WAS RIGHT! I DON'T BELONG IN YOUR WORLD!

Lola Archer: Yes you do! You could've bitten me, you could have killed me but you didn't, you stopped yourself! That proves you are not evil!

Isaac Ambrose: No Lola, I didn't stop, not because of me anyway, I stopped because of you, because of what you called me. You reminded me of love. How could I go knowing that I would hurt you? I couldn't do that to you

Lola Archer: Give me a chance to speak to my Dad, Isaac, come with me so we can talk to him, we can make him seen sense. I know we can well at least try and make him see sense!
