4. 🦇

At the Dusk premiere, Jesse, Erica, Gord, and some of the higher-up vampires are on the stage. "It's finally time to avenge our ancestors," Jesse announces. "This is so boring. When can I get some Dusker blood? I'm starving," Erica impatiently asks Jesse. "Patience. Hm? Souls first; blood later. Our two-hundred-nineteen guests are here, and their souls are ours for the taking. You know what to do," Jesse commands the other vampires. 

Later, we get into our positions onstage and wait for the spotlight to shine on us. When it does, Erica declares: "Welcome..." As the audience claps and cheers. "...to the special fan screening of Dusk III: Unbitten," Erica states. "Yes!" One of the fangirls cheer. "When you see what's in store for you tonight, well... you'll just die," Erica announces which makes the audience applaud. "But first, let's not forget the door prize," Erica says as she takes out a black bag with the winners' number. "And... we have a winner. Ticket number two-hundred-and-five?" She announces. "Oh, my God. That's me. That's me," the girl tells everyone in shock. Everyone claps for her as she makes her way onto the stage. "What did I win?" The girl questions. "You win what every Dusker wants. This," Jesse states and then he snarls and bites into the girl's neck. He sucks the blood from it, leaving the audience in awe, believing this was a trick. "What a cool show, huh?" One of the girls in the audience asks her friend. "Best show ever!" Her friend happily exclaims. Then, Jesse opens up the cubile animus and puts the girl's soul inside. "One down; two-hundred-and-eighteen to go," Jesse informs us with a whisper. He hands Gord the box. Suddenly, one of the geeks yells: "Fire!" Alerting everyone in the theatre. "Fire?" The audience members question in fear. Jesse runs over to the microphone to try and save his act. "Come on! Fire!" The short boy yells. "Stay in your seats; there's no need to panic," Jesse tries to warn them, but the girls flee the movie room. Then, Jesse commands us to go after the Duskers and we show our fangs and start attacking them. To gain sustenance, I grab one of the fangirls and bite on their neck, sucking the blood right out of her. She turns pale and falls onto the floor. I wipe the blood off of my mouth. "At least I'm not hungry anymore," I thought to myself. 

After feeding on one of the Dusk fangirls, I look over to Erica who uses her speed to go over to Sarah. I do the same and stand next to Erica. "That's not a very nice way to treat your family," Erica states. "This will never be my family. Don't you two realize this is wrong?" Sarah asks us. I look at the ground in response. "I'm still disappointed that I had bitten that Dusker, but I really needed to eat," I thought in my head. "This is not who you two are supposed to be!" Sarah exclaims as I snap out of my thoughts and glance at her. "This is who I wanted to be. My whole life, I have been pushed around, bullied, laughed at... Never again," Erica tells Sarah. "I really don't want to hurt you, Sarah. But you leave me no choice," Erica says as she starts to go after Sarah. I gasp and yell at Erica: "Erica, stop!" I tackle her to the ground and we roll on the floor and fight each other. Sarah joins in, trying to restrain Erica. "I am not giving up on you!" Sarah shouts. "Hey! Let her go!" A male voice shouts at Sarah and I. I look up and it's Gord. "Over my dead body," Sarah responds. Gord runs over to us and roars, making Sarah and I back up against a wall. "She's all yours, honey," Erica whispers in his ear before she walks away. "Freedom!" Benny shouts, trying to get a jab onto Gord. Gord knocks him out, leaving him unconscious. Gord chuckles. "A brave geek is still just a geek," he remarks. Gord walks closer to us and Ethan comes next to Sarah and me to save us. "Stop right there! I mean it!" The boy threatens with a dagger. "Oh, yeah? Or what?" Gord questions. "Or... this!" Ethan exclaims as he tries to throw the knife at Gord, but he misses, and instead, it hits another vampire who hisses and disintegrates on the spot. "Okay. Now you three are dead," Gord says intimidatingly. "Stand back. Behold! The flame of invincibility," Ethan announces with a grin on his face while waving the flame in front of Gord's face as to taunt him.
