In the kitchen …





















KARANTHIR:
Oh no you don’t. You’re not escaping me.





















CHARLOTTE:

Get yer bloody ‘ands off of me.


KARANTHIR:
Not on your life, Herita.





















CHARLOTTE:
‘erita? Who’s she? Me name’s Charlotte.
I’m just a doll I am.
















KARANTHIR:
Honestly Herita, you know me well enough to know
I’d never fall for that. 


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
Can’t blame a girl for tryin’.  Now put me down.


KARANTHIR:
Not so fast. You’ve caused quite a bit of havoc here,
first as a human and now as … this.


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
I ain’t never done anything to the likes of you.
















KARANTHIR:
Allow me to refresh your memory - you specifically
focussed your animosity on those I hold dear.


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
I’ve done no such thing.


KARANTHIR:
You tricked Es into drinking the potion that caused
her to feed off my prince. I take that very personally.





















CHARLOTTE/HERITA:

Oh that? Was your own doin’ it was. If ya ‘ad made
me a vampire, I wouldn’t a needed to make me
potion, now would I ‘ave?


KARANTHIR:
You actually wanted me to bring you over?


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
You were me first choice. If I ‘ad asked ya - would ya ‘ave?


KARANTHIR:
No. 





















CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
Well there ya are then. An’ you left out the bit when

 you drank me potion and got awful sick, ‘member?  





















CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
… You fancy yourself so superior and yet you were outsmarted 

by the likes of me, twice. Quit squeezing! I can’t ‘ardly breath. 


KARANTHIR:
Dolls - don’t - breath. 
















RACOLO:
Karanthir - Cammeo’s doll escaped from … 


KARANTHIR:
As usual dear boy, I’m way ahead you.





















CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
That one - ‘e never was too bright, was ‘e? I remember
the time I stole ‘is granny’s book on vampires
- took it right from under his nose I did. 
















RACOLO: 

You little ….! 





















RACOLO:

… What did you do to Herita?


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
‘erita? Who’s she? I don’t know nothin’. I’m just a doll I am. 
















KARANTHIR:

Oh shut up with that Herita.
And you, what are you going on about?


RACOLO:
This … thing did something to Herita, the real Herita,
put her under some sort of sleep spell. Syrrah can’t
wake her up. When Herita’s asleep - this comes out.


CHARLOTTE/HERITA:
Syrrah can’t wake meself up, imagine that. Oh this is brilliant.
I even outsmarted the ‘igh and mighty priestess I did. 
















WYSH:
Karanthir! Karanthir - you have to help me!
















WYSH:
… That powerful lady took all my wands, everyoneofthem. 


RACOLO:
OW!





















RACOLO:
She bit me! The little …


KARANTHIR:
Shoo Wysh. I can’t see. We can’t let her get away …


WYSH:

WYSH:

HARMONIA:

CHARLOTTE/HERITA:

HARMONIA:

RACOLO:
Is everyone OK? Harmonia? Karanthir?
Karanthir, where’d you go?
















KARANTHIR:
Here.





















KARANTHIR:
… Madam, a little warning would have
been appreciated.





















WYSH:
Help! Karanthir helpme! I’m stuck, or maybe I’m
dead? Either way I can’t move. Helpme!Helpme!





















KARANTHIR:
Perhaps you should fold your wings?


WYSH:
That’s a good idea. Thankyousomuch.

Hehehehe. I’m so glad I’m not dead.  


KARANTHIR:
Yes, aren’t we all.
















RACOLO:
Are you alright?


HARMONIA:
I believe I am. What happened?





















WYSH:
Great magic. Blinding light. Then - BAM!


KARANTHIR:
What she said, so eloquently. And now I’m reduced to being
a taxi for a fairy.  Really, can this day get any worse?
















HARMONIA:
Did it work? 


RACOLO:
I don’t know. Is it still in there?
















KARANTHIR:
I don’t sense her.


HARMONIA:
And I don’t see her. 
















RACOLO:
You could see her?


HARMONIA:
Clear as day, and ya’d be surprised at what I saw.





















WYSH:
Oh no! OhnoOhnoOhnoOhnoooo. My wands!
Lookit, my beautifulwands they’re all burnt.





















HARMONIA:
Sorry hon, I plum forgot I had them all in my hand.
Don’t ya worry now, ya’ll get yourself some new wands
when you leave this realm - and not before then.
