Wednesday ...

HERITA:

… Me time’s running short. ‘Ave to get it right this time.

HERITA:

...There ya are, ‘iding in plain sight ya are.

HERITA:

… Time to come out and play.

HERITA:

…Me li’l friend. The secret you possess.

HERITA:

...That boy and me sis, they’re beginning to suspect. They tried 

to get me to tell 'im that I 'ave ya. No worries - I was too clever for 'em. 

Made their 'eads spin I did with a bit of racy gossip.

HERITA:

Ahhhh - me precious. Told ya no one would think to look for ya ‘ere.

HERITA:

… Last time it didn't work  as I expected - with that bloke, Karanthir 

– but then 'e's only 'alf vampire. Must need to be a real one.

HERITA:

... So 'ere we go again, my precious, we'll ‘afta mix up another potion. 

It’ll go right this time.

HERITA:

… And then I’ll be what I was before. Strong. Immortal. Unstoppable.


Later …

ESMODONTI:

… That's my good little elfkin, eating up all your dinner. 

Ya make your mama so proud.

ESMODONTI:
Mmm, something sure smells fab. Whatcha got there Herita?

HERITA:

It's me tea. I've mixed up a new recipe. Fancy a cup?

ESMODONTI:

I think I will, thanks. I usually don't go for regular drinks. Bein'

a vamp, I'm stuck on a pretty strict liquid diet, if ya know what I mean.

HERITA:

I remember.


ESMODONTI:

Hey that's right, you were a vamp once too – back in the day.


HERITA:

Aye, back in the day.

ESMODONTI:

Ya know, sometimes I think it'd be better for my little elfkin - if his mama 

were just an ordinary chic. But - c'est la vie. Guess there’s not much I can 

do about it now. Hey - how'd you become human again?

HERITA: 

I was a vamp. Me sis was a Seeker. We got in a mortal battle that ended with me trapped in ame coffin. She set it afire and burned me alive. Years later I woke as a ghost - I don’t know ‘ow. Then Grace ‘ad ‘er genie make me ... this.

ESMODONTI:

Woa, that's a real downer, think I'll skip all that. Although the genie 

part sounds cool. I’ll hafta think about that. It could work.

ESMODONTI:

...Herita-girl this is like the best tea ever!

HERITA:

There’s plenty more. ‘ere, 'ave another cup.
