Monday night ...
MEZ:
This has been … fun, but I'm tired. I’m going to bed.
JESSE:
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
MEZ:
Why not?
JESSE:
Door’s locked.
MEZ:
Get real – there’s no lock on my room.
JESSE:
Our room – and yes there is. The faerie prince is
back, and he’s in there with that blond vampire.
MEZ:
So what? I’ll just throw Karanthir out.
JESSE:
Did you hear what I just said? They’re in there …together.
MEZ:
Yeah?
JESSE:
Man you’re slow. Do I have to draw ya a friggin’ picture?
They're in there ... doing it.
MEZ:
Are you telling me that Zyfan and Karanthir are … you mean they're ...
JESSE:
Uh-huh, in our room.
MEZ:
No way! Zyfan and Karanthir? Since when?
JESSE:
How the hell do I know? Since I've been here.
MEZ:
This sucks. Where am I gonna sleep?
JESSE:
Not my problem - but I got dibs on this sofa.
MEZ:
I can’t believe this.
Later in the study ...
MEZ:
Cammeo what are doing up? Isn't it a little late for you?
CAMMEO:
I was asleep but then ... something woke me and
I felt like walking about.
CAMMEO:
... What's all this? Are you planning to sleep here?
MEZ:
I guess.
CAMMEO:
Why? What’s wrong with your room?
MEZ:
Believe me, you don’t want to know.
CAMMEO:
Mind if I stay here for a bit? Or perhaps you're hungry?
I could fix you something, if you’d like. Maybe
some warm milk to help you sleep?
MEZ:
Thanks anyway but no one likes warm milk, especially me.
CAMMEO:
Something else?
MEZ:
No, let’s just sit down and you can tell me what's going on.
CAMMEO:
I can’t just sit. I need to keep busy. She doesn’t
bother me when I’m busy.
MEZ:
Who?
CAMMEO:
Nobody. Mez, it’s just not the same without Noli. I miss her, you know.
Do you think she's alright? She was such a sweet room-mate.
And I think she helped keep her away.
MEZ:
I’m not completely following you.
CAMMEO:
It doesn’t matter. I think, with you here, it ought to be safe.
Although she did appear the other day when we were …
CAMMEO:
… You! I told you to go away. Why are you haunting me?
MEZ:
Who are you talking to?
CAMMEO:
There! Can’t you see her? Oh Mez, you've got to make her go away.
I don’t want to see her anymore.
MEZ:
Cammeo there’s no one there. Look.
CAMMEO:
What do you mean? She’s right … She was there a
moment ago. I saw her. I truly did.
CAMMEO:
... Wasn’t she? Oh my, I think I may be going crackers. You've got to help me. Could it be grief from missing
Noli so much ... sniff ...
MEZ:
OK, calm down. It’s gonna be alright …
CAMMEO:
But Mez ... sniff ... what if she comes back?
MEZ:
Who? Please tell me who you're seeing.
CAMMEO:
It’s my sister, my sister Herita … She’s been dead many
years …I think she’s haunting me.
