Scene 14 Vampire Requiem

The official events begin. There are speeches, and the Sweet Vampires perform.

M54 “We Will Welcome You”

Chorus:

If they still live

And return here

To live as friends

We will welcome you

Peter: Well then, following the symposium we have a special event for you all.

Sarah: Please enjoy the musical star Clifford in “Vampire Requiem”.

The curtain rises, but when the “vampire” whips off his cloak we see that it is actually Francis and not Clifford.

M55 “Overture” ~ “Vampire Requiem” (battle)

Robert: That’s not Clifford!

Francis:

A rose showered with drops of moonlight

Glistening with tears from the stars

Damp with the secret haze of night

Woo Woo Woo

Francis reaches for Jennifer, but she shakes him off and backs away.

Mikhail: Look, Francis! The girl is mine.

Francis perseveres, grabs Jennifer, and bites her.

Mikhail: Deal with him!

Mikhail gets the diamond corsage, but his triumph is short-lived when he sees Jennifer has recovered.

Mikhail: Francis.

Francis: Mikhail! Let me go!

Mikhail: Jennifer…

Jennifer: Nooo!

Francis: Jennifer! Are you all right?

Jennifer: Francis! To save me, you drank…

Francis: Yes, but I didn’t give you my soul. You’ve returned to the way you were.

Jennifer: Francis!

Mikhail: Fool!

Francis: Return the rose!

Mikhail: No!

Doctor: Duck, Mikhail!

The doctor shoots his gun, and Francis stumbles. Jennifer runs to get between Francis and Mikhail, in an eerie mirroring of older events.

Jennifer: Stop it, Mikhail!

Francis: Jennifer, stop.

Jennifer: No.

Mikhail: If you don’t get out of the way, you’ll lose your life too.

Jennifer: I don’t care.

Mikhail: What?

Jennifer: Understand. There is love in this world.

Mikhail: You lie!

This time Francis is able to recover his strength in time to shove Jennifer aside to safety.

Francis: Look out!

Mikhail and Francis wrestle over the cross once more. This time when Francis wins, Mikhail disappears into a cloud of smoke with only one word wailed behind him.

Mikhail: Lydia…

Rilski: Michael disappeared…

?: What’s that you say?

Francis attempts to return the rose to Jennifer, but she shakes her head.

Francis: Paula’s rose.

Jennifer: You’re meant to have it.

Rilski: Jennifer, what on earth is going on?

Jennifer: Vampires have returned to this valley.

Suddenly the doctor emerges out of the crowd, growing old and infirm before their very eyes.

Maria: Doctor Smith!

Doctor: Ah? I’m gaining all my years

Maria: The Everlife has worn off.

Rilski: You were all helping a vampire?

Rennfield: Shut up!

Robert: Are you a vampire too?

Francis: Yes, I am.

All: Uwah!

Clifford appears, rubbing the back of his head.

Clifford: What on earth happened?

Robert: Clifford!

Clifford: Someone hit me and I blacked out.

Francis: That was me.

Clifford: Is it already over?

Robert: A real vampire took over the role. The event is cancelled. Everyone, let’s go home.

Nichola: Everyone, it’s finished. It’s too bad, but we’ll have to postpone our World Heritage plans!

Francis: Everyone, I’m sorry.

Nichola: It’s fine.

SV Members: We will welcome you!

Francis: Thank you.

M56 “My Vampire” (BG ~ song ~ ending)

Peter: Excuse me, are you the Francis who wrote this journal?

Francis: Yes.

Peter: The one who’s been alive for 700 years?

Francis: That’s right.

Peter: Could I have your autograph?! Right here…

Sarah: Jennifer, how does it feel to have your blood drunk a second time?

Jennifer: Refreshing.

Sarah: I’m so jealous! Peter!

Peter: Heeey! That’s my…

Everyone leaves, until only Francis and Jennifer remain.

Jennifer: Why didn’t you give Paula eternal life?

Francis: I didn’t want to make anyone taste the agony of eternal life.

Jennifer: That’s your love?

Francis: Nothing surpasses the joy of growing to adulthood and growing old. No one can give that to me.

Jennifer: But, if you fell in love with someone, their race and age won’t matter. At least, for me…

Francis: Jennifer…

Jennifer: Will you continue searching for the roses?

Francis: Yes. It would be best if I could find them all in time for the reconstruction of the temple.

Jennifer: If there’s anything I can do, I’ll do it.

Francis: If you have time, it will be a long wait.

Jennifer: Take me with you. I’ll go wherever you are.

Francis:

If I was your lover

I wouldn't hesitate to give you anything

But the real vampire is…

Francis pauses, and instead of finishing the song he makes a decision. He reaches out triumphantly for her hand.

Francis: Jennifer…!

They kiss.
