Hello? -- HELLO? Are you the person that called me a few minutes ago? Will you say something please? / I called you. It's about the Anna Crenshaw case. / The little girl who was found dead in the woods the other night? Coroner says she was killed by animal. / It wasn't an animal that killed that girl. The bite wound had saliva in it. Human saliva -- sort of. |
|
There is no way that little girl was killed by a person. I read a copy of the coroner's report and it stated that an animal with large canines did it. / I didn't say it was a person either. / Deputy Hart? Joan? / It was a vampire. / ?!?!? |
|
A vampire?! Deputy, I don't know what to say -- I really don't. / Paul -- / There's something most people don't know about me. I'm a witch. I'm not anything like your sister-in-law, but I can sense these things. / It WAS a vampire. The evidence points to it. You just have to dig -- but you don't know where you heard this -- okay? / I felt someone should know the truth. / Sigh |
|
Hey -- I am sorry for being hard on you back in the alley. I was a little upset. Friends? / I still am Jubal's friend, even though I got ya his hair and blood -- but if you're going to do that spell -- I ought to go. / I understand. Actually I almost hate to do this -- / Almost. / That which fate has forged together -- let me tear apart forever. / Hate is burning as a flame -- all his ills she is to blame. / Torn Apart. Torn Apart. Torn Apart. / Forever! |
|
A reminder if you're just chiming in. SJ and I have switched shifts for today. So I will be taking you all up to the midnight hour and -- beyond. / My voice may not be as sultry as SJ's, but I -- I -- will -- I'll be playing some -- music -- / Yes! Music! I'll be playing music all night long -- like what else would I play here all by myself. / And next up is the J. Geils band and -- Love Stinks? |
| |
|
Hey music man! / I wanted to come by and see how you were. I am sorry for bailing on you this afternoon. / Yeah, you're always sorry for something. / W-what? |
|
Okay, what's the gag? Are we role playing now? / Go away. / I said I was sorry. / I said GO AWAY! Jesus Christ do I have to draw you a map?! Get the HELL out of here!! / There's something wrong here. Jubal -- what happened? / I woke up! I finally saw the light! YOU are what's WRONG and you always have been! / J-Jubal? |
|
You're a monster Chelsea -- a creature -- a THING! What did I ever see in you? I was such a SAP! / You went to New York for your own selfish reasons and I just waited -- I stayed here loving you like an idiot -- no matter how many guys you screwed. / ?? / You make me SICK! |
|
What in the name of -- Jubal? / Bitch! / Hey!! / W-what's going on here? Jubal?! / Did you just HIT Chelsea? Are you nuts? / That bitch has hurt me long enough. It's time for some payback! / Don't -- ch-change. |
|
Chelsea's going home with me, then you and I will have a little talk. / She's a monster Paul. Don't trust her an inch. / Whew - I didn't change -- / I don't care what you THINK she is. You DO NOT treat her this way -- DAMNIT, JUBAL you love Chelsea! / Not any more! |
| |
|
Jubal didn't love me any more. That was Eleanor times ten - emotionally anyway. / That night I stayed up trying to convince Paul and Cynthia things were really okay -- Jubal and I just had a fight. I don't think I did very well. / What really happened to him I could only guess. / Had I finally pushed him over the edge? Lord knows he was entitled to a better life than with me, but somehow I didn't feel that was it. / Did I cast the spell by simply wishing Jubal to fall out of love with me? Was it the curse? Was I destined to detract those I loved? / Both possibilities gave me cause to wish my life was over. / How ironic. |
|
I bet you were expecting a pasty white goth chick wearing an ankh. Death isn't quite ready for you babe. / Eon?! / I'm -- I'm not dead? / Let's call it -- intermission. You know, the part where you get up and go get more drink and popcorn. / And I think we're ready. Let's get back to the show. / Wha? |
|
Get back to the show? / Get back to your story. / You were doing so well I pray you continue. I've got hankies and everything. / What's the point. I can't change anything. / No, but you can learn from your story. That's what stories are for. They are as necessary as the creamy center is to an Oreo. / But uh -- let's just skip the doublestuff and cut to the Reader's Digest version of that creamy center -- shall we? |
|
I think I changed Jubal. Either by the curse or wishing him to stop loving me. / I doubt it's the curse -- / And as powerful a witch as you are I seriously doubt you can just WISH things into being. Let's hope not anyway. / If Jubal is acting this way outside his own free will, then I would bet we have a spell involved. I'll check it out. / Thank you. / I suppose I can end those thoughts of Hari-Kiri. Last night I thought about ending it all. No more pain -- but now I suppose I have a mission. If I didn't corrupt Jubal then who did? |
|
I thought you were going to talk to me last night? / I thought it would be best if we cooled off before we talked. A night of rest can -- what are you doing? / I'm leaving this town. Chelsea and I are over. Nothing left here now. / I'll -- write when I get settled -- or something. / Jubal!! |
| |
|
Jubal are you crazy?! Get out of there! You're going to leave your job? Your family, friends? / Jubal stop! / Jubal!! / He's gone. Just like that. / This is not good at all. Not at all. / You're telling me -- |
|
Jubal's gone?!! How could you let him leave like that? / Jubal left before I could detect any magick on him. However his actions this morning have convinced me this is some kind of spell. We'll keep an eye on him for you. / Ugh -- maybe it's best we have some time away from each other. / Kate? / Kate? / Kate? / Rose? |
|
So, KATE are you going to introduce us to your friend? / I'm Emily Wilson, but I go by my middle name -- Rose. / I hope you boys don't mind if I steal sweet Kate away from your momentarily. / I trust we can look forward to a proper introduction later on. / Sorry to take you away from your friends -- but I wanted to aplogogize for last night. I shouldn't have made a pass at your like that. / I shouldn't have run out on you either. I was just scared and I'm sorry. It's been a rough week. / Why don't we -- get together at lunch and talk. Meet me at the Livingston library sometime after noon. I'll buy. I think we both could use a friend. / I'd like that. / Cool. / Yeah, cool. |
|
That was quite an impromptu kiss wasn't it? / Yes it was. / We - uh -- we definitely need to talk. I'll meet you for lunch. / Chelsea what are you doing? What is she? Why am I drawn to her? / That was an interesting development. |
|
Were -- were you SPYING on me? / I wan't exactly spying -- okay I was spying -- but it was for your own good. / How dare you!! / Do you see this? It is a detecting stone -- for detecting magick. It should be black. That signifies no magick. / As your friend Rose approached us the stone turned to the gold color it is now. Gold, my dear Chelsea, signifies powerful magick. |
| |
|
You don't even know this girl -- Rose. Chelsea! Come back here -- listen to me! / You're right. I don't know her. I don't know why I kissed her. I don't know why I'm drawn to her. / Maybe -- there was a girl I know in college and we were good friends. We kissed, you know, like girls do -- / Then one night we got very stoned and did more than just kiss -- I didn't hate it. |
|
The friendship I had with the girl from college died when we -- went too far. / I was never involved with another girl after that -- and until I met Rose last night I was certain of who and what I was -- sexually speaking anyway. / Now I'm not so sure. / My dear Chelsea -- your duality is showing. |
|
Some morphs will manifest their duality in their human form -- especially the more powerful ones like you. / This duality is manifested through the primitive instincts -- fear, violence, hunger, sexuality, etc. / You could be manifesting your duality in a sexual nature -- which could be very good news. You see, nine times out of ten only one instinct dominates. / It COULD even be enough to curb the effects of your curse. |
|
Why didn't you tell me about this dual nature? / It doesn't always happen. I did not know how you would manifest your duality -- and you would have worried about it too much. / I don't worry. Not really -- right? / Dual manifestations are hardly common, but they are not rare either -- however this is all beside the point. We were speaking of Rose. |
|
Very funny with the LITTLE fire spell. / I don't understand you Jacob -- one minute you come down on me for kissing a girl, the next you act as if it's my salvation and now we're back to Rose equals evil. / I don't understand how you can't see it!! Rose cast a spell on Jubal! I'd stake my reputation as a wizard on it! / What are you doing? / I'm making another detecting stone. / As with a spell I intended for Jubal this must be made so not to detect your own magick -- however it will tell me if someone has cast a spell upon you. / Did she? / If she did -- it didn't work. You do not seem to be under the influence of any spell or charm -- but I still must insist that you stay away from Rose. / Stuff it Jacob!! I'll deal with this on my own! / CHELSEA!! |
| |
|
My dear Morana could you ever know what you've truly given me? / GIVEN is hardly the proper term. STOLEN is more to the point. / GUSTAV? / It's been a long sixteen years Rose. A long time since you left and took away the Sun. / LEFT?! Driven away is more to the point! |
|
Am I the current bone you are to fetch for the magnificent Morana? / Actually she will be paying your visit in a week's time. Please be prepared to hand over the Dark Sun necklace when she arrives. / Her Highness wants to walk around in the sun a bit? It's been sixteen years -- I thought she would have missed it by now. / You are her fledgling. she has always known where it was. |
|
What does Morana want with the Dark Sun now? / She will divulge that information when you meet. You have one week. / By the way -- your MOTHER wishes you well with the PUREBLOOD -- / She is quite anxious to meet her too -- goodbye. / Get out!! |
|
Oookay, I think it's time we got back to the main character -- is this where you slipped on the ice? / Yyyep! There ya go! OUCH! They felt that all the way back to Tibet. Good thing you got plenty of cushion back there girl! / Oh God. / Can we get on with this? / Muss a mimit. / Meanwhile, back at the ranch cousin Dale is fixing some chitterlings and uncle Roy is riding side saddle -- / Will you cut that out! |
|
What am I doing? I should be out trying to find Jubal -- not having lunch with Rose. Could she have cast the spell? / Jacob says I'M not under a spell -- so why can't I do what I know is right? Why can't I go after Jubal? / And why am I completely driven toward -- / Jubal?! / ? |
