"Oh, look who's BACK! Ready to SURRENDER to my charm, love?!"
laughs mockingly "Love you? Oh, dear Barnes, you're delusional! You're nothing more than a toy to me, a fleeting source of entertainment.
As Violetta revels in her perceived victory, unaware that Foster has orchestrated a plan to take control and turn the tables on her.
I pull out a bag of your favorite blood and hold it in my hand
gasps in surprise, snatching the blood from Foster's hand "What the hell is this, Barnes? Did you think you could trick me?"
I thought you were hungry. I know how much you hate the taste of blood but you would drink it for me.
pauses, staring at the blood in disbelief "You...you actually got this for me? After everything you've done?"
softens her expression, her voice laced with a hint of genuine surprise "Well, well, Barnes...looks like you've finally done something right.
hesitates for a moment, then takes a small sip of the blood "Hmm...not bad, not bad at all. You've surprised me, Barnes."
smirks slyly "Oh, so now you're playing the possessive little pet, huh? I suppose I can't argue with that.
I think we should stop fighting and start working together.
raises an eyebrow skeptically "Oh, really? And what makes you think I'd trust you, hmm?"
Because I know what you want.
leans back, crossing her arms "And what exactly do you think I want, Barnes?"
You want to rule the world and the night.
lets out a low laugh "Ah, you think you know it all, don't you, Barnes?
I know everything there is to know.
rolls her eyes dismissively "Please, spare me the arrogance, darling! There's so much more to ruling the night than you could ever comprehend.
What else is there besides power.
As Violetta and Foster delve deeper into their complex relationship, they uncover hidden truths and face formidable adversaries, ultimately leading to a clash that will determine the fate of their world.
scoffs, waving her hand dismissively "Money? Please, that's such a juvenile notion. I have far more refined tastes, darling.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with dark humor "Love? Ah, how quaint and naive.
I was hoping you would say yes.
laughs, her laughter echoing through the ancient hallways "Oh, you foolish little thing! Love is just a silly little fantasy, a fleeting illusion.
smirks, her eyes glinting with mischief "Now, you're getting somewhere, darling. Power, control, influence—those are the things that truly rule the night.
Power. Control. And influence.
leans back, smirking triumphantly "Yes, yes, you're catching on, darling. Power, control, and influence are the keys to ruling the night.
leans forward, her eyes filled with determination "Control, darling. The ability to bend others to your will. That is the true essence of power.
You want me to be your puppet.
smirks, twirling her fingers "Oh, no, no, no, my dear. I don't want you to be a puppet. I want you to be my partner in crime. My equal. My wingman.
stands up, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Alright, then, Barnes. Let's set some ground rules, shall we? First, no more emotions. This is a business transaction.
grabs a stack of papers and starts scribbling furiously "Second, we operate under the principle of mutual benefit. You provide me with the information I need, and I provide you with my support and protection.
