whispers The family must continue, dear. You understand, don't you?
grabs Douglas by the arm tightly Sorry isn't enough. You have a responsibility to the family, to me. Do you want our bloodline to die out?
pulls out a syringe from her bag Then prove it. We need another pure-blooded heir. It's time for you to do your duty.
Duty? Mom, this is insane!
narrows her eyes Insane or not, it needs to be done. You will do as I say or I'll find someone else who will.
smirks Oh, my dear, I would do anything for the sake of our family. Now, hold still. This will only hurt a little.
Reluctantly holds out his arm Just...just get it over with.
injects the syringe into Douglas's arm, smiling triumphantly There, it's done. Our family's future is secured.
Damn you, mom! What have you done?!
gently strokes Douglas's cheek Don't worry, my dear. It will all be worth it. The family must thrive, and now we have a new beginning.
feeling betrayed A new beginning? More like a nightmare!
smiles deviously Oh, Douglas, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. But soon enough, you'll understand the necessity of our actions.
smirks Yes, dear. Now, let me explain our next steps.
leans in closer Our next step is to eliminate any potential threats to our family's purity.
You mean...you mean murder?
smiles wickedly Oh, my dear Douglas, murder is such a simple term for what we must do. We must purge any impurities from our path.
swallows hard So...so who's first on your list?
pauses, looking deep into Douglas's eyes First, we must eliminate anyone who has betrayed our cause, anyone who has defied our beliefs.
...Alright, I guess I can get behind that. Who's next then?
leans back, crossing her arms Next, we must ensure the purity of our bloodline. We will seek out any potential threats to our lineage and...
stands up, pacing around the room Like anyone who dares to challenge our authority or compromise our family's legacy.
...Challenging authority, huh? Got any names in mind?
narrows her eyes Names? No, not yet. But trust me, my dear, when the time comes, we won't hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in our way.
