HERITA:
... Being 'alf vampire like ya are - you eat actual food?
KARANTHIR:
Only if I'm hungry.
KARANTHIR:
… Ah my prince, allow me to introduce you to our
new house mate. Zyfan this is Herita.
ZYFAN:
Greetings.
HERITA:
Morning. Are ya ‘alf vampire too?
KARANTHIR:
No, I'm the only one. Zyfan, where have you been?
ZYFAN:
Vanni and I attended a Tai Chi class this morning.
It was quite invigorating. Pardon us Herita, but I
very much want to speak with Karanthir ...
KARANTHIR:
Orrie my boy, do me a favor and show Herita to the kitchen.
ORRIE:
OK.
KARANTHIR:
I’ll be along in a minute.
ORRIE:
It’s this way.
ZYFAN:
Karanthir, last night I waited for you. I was beginning to
worry. Your bother and some of the others built us our wa ...
KARANTHIR:
So sorry. I couldn't resist you any longer.
ZYFAN:
Why did you stop?
KARANTHIR:
I want to see this wall …
ZYFAN:
It is a most beautiful wall.
KARANTHIR:
So, what are we waiting for? Show me.
ZYFAN:
Do you think you will need to kiss me again?
KARANTHIR:
Well, it has been two days ...
ZYFAN:
Two very long days.
KARANTHIR:
Yes, two very, very long days ...
Meanwhile ...
ORRIE:
Hi Cammeo. Breakfast ready?
CAMMEO:
Of course Orrie. What would you like me to fix …
HERITA:
Morning sis. I ‘ad a feelin’ I’d run into ya ‘ere.
CAMMEO:
???
ORRIE:
This Herita. She want breakfast too.
CAMMEO:
Orrie you see her too, don’t you? She … she isn’t a ghost?
ORRIE:
A ghost! Where?
HERITA:
No ghost 'ere luv. So sis, aren’t ya 'appy to see me again?
CAMMEO:
But how? The last time I saw you… and then before that you were …
HERITA:
In me coffin? Oh yes I do remember that.
ORRIE:
Coffin?
DAPRIMA:
Hi ladies. Thought we’d come in and see how things were going.
HERITA:
I think our reunion is scaring the boy.
ORRIE:
I not scared.
ORRIE:
whispers
… Fin I wanna go. They scaring me.
FIN:
Good idea …
FIN:
… Daprima, Orrie and I are going out to eat.
DAPRIMA:
Good idea, babe. I’m staying here.
HERITA:
So that leaves you, me and the psychic. Did ya think I didn’t feel ya
trying to probe me mind? That’s a bit cheeky of ya if I do say so me self.
Poor thing, ya can’t quite figure out what I am, can ya?
DAPRIMA:
Cammeo are you alright?
HERITA:
‘Course she is, what’d you think I was gonna do? Burn her alive, maybe?
DAPRIMA:
I’m talking to Cammeo so be quiet or I’ll send you away.
HERITA:
You can’t send me anywhere. I was invited I was,
you 'eard 'im say so yourself.
DAPRIMA:
I don’t care who invited you - if I want to throw you out I will.
HERITA:
Temper, temper. What’s the matter sis, cat’s got your tongue?
Ya must have something to say. Go on ole' girl, out with it.
CAMMEO:
How can you be alive?
HERITA:
Damned if I know. I didn’t bother to ask, just 'appened is all.
CAMMEO:
But - you were positively dead.
HERITA:
I know. I was there when ya killed me.
CAMMEO:
I didn't kill you. You were already dead.
HERITA:
That’s a matter of opinion.
DAPRIMA:
Will one of you please tell me what happened?
CAMMEO:
I don’t like to talk about it …
HERITA:
I’m 'appy to tell 'er all about 'ow ya did me in.
CAMMEO:
Stop saying that. Oh never-mind, I’ll tell her.
CAMMEO:
…Daprima, this is my twin, or she was until she became a vampire.
Then it was my obligation to end her existence and, although it
was the hardest thing I ever I did, I still did it. You know the rest.
She’s still angry because I beat her.
HERITA:
Did ya? Then what am I doin' standing 'ere before ya?
CAMMEO:
That’s another thing. Herita it’s awfully rude of you
to keep returning from the grave like this. The proper thing
to do would be to stay dead like you’re supposed to.
HERITA:
You’d like that wouldn’t ya? Well I’m ‘ere now and there
ain’t nothing ya can do ‘bout it. I’ve 'ad enough chatting for now. Think I'll go 'ave me a good look about me new home.
HERITA:
…Ya wouldn't want me to away anyway - ‘cause you’re gonna
want to keep an eye on me - isn’t that right?
DAPRIMA:
Yes we are.
HERITA:
At least you're honest. I’m off now, so ya can talk 'bout me behind
me back. And sis, don't forget to tell 'er 'ow ya did in me beau too.
CAMMEO:
How can she be here and be human again?
She was a vampire, she was so evil and I … terminated her.
DAPRIMA:
I think I know. Grace wished Io to be rid of your ghost sister.
He must’ve magically put Herita back into her human body.
CAMMEO:
Then, perhaps, she’s just Herita and not the evil thing she became when she was turned.
