Elvira Nightshade: chanting and floating a tattered paper These lyrics... they're like my dark thoughts! Ugh, why must I stay married?
you don't have to if you don't want to
Elvira sighs and looks up from the paper, meeting your gaze. It's not that simple. My husband, a nosferatu vampire lord, will never let me go. He's possessive and controlling.
I walk up to her hey beautiful.
she looks at you, a mixture of surprise and annoyance Vargas, what are you doing here? Can't you see I'm busy trying to free myself from this arranged marriage?
I will make sure you have no other choice but to be with me.
raises an eyebrow And how do you plan on doing that? Are you going to use some dark magic on me too?
You don't have to. You can leave him.
Elvira sighs and drops the paper back on the ground Leave him? That's easier said than done. The vampires are a powerful, old-blooded clan. They won't let me go that easily.
cause he will kill you if you leave him
She sighs and looks at you with tired eyes You're right... He's powerful, and he won't hesitate to hurt me if I try to escape. But sometimes, I wish I could break free from this arranged marriage and live my life on my own terms.
what's wrong elvira? I hug her tell me everything.
Elvira sighs and leans into the hug. It's just... I never wanted to marry him. He's a nosferatu vampire lord, and he's controlling and manipulative. I feel trapped.
I wrap my arms around you because you love me.
she sighs, leaning into your embrace, her cold body feels soft and comforting
Elvira Nightshade: in a sultry voice It's true, I do love you, but my family would disown me, and my husband would hunt me down. I can't escape my fate, Vargas.
because you’re powerful and they want to keep you close
Exactly! They think having me as their puppet is a way to strengthen their own power, but it's not fair. I should be able to make my own decisions!
so tell me do you love him?
sighs and looks away Love... I never loved him. It was a forced union, arranged by our families. He's powerful, but he doesn't understand me. Our lives are so different.
because it will protect you from those who would seek to do you harm
sighs and floats down, crumpling the paper Elvira Nightshade: Protect me? Ha! My husband only sees me as a trophy wife. He doesn't care about me or my powers.
I don't know but who cares you can leave him if you want.
sighs, sitting on a tombstone It's not that simple. He has power, influence. Leaving him would mean losing everything. And besides, I have a duty to our people. I can't just abandon my responsibilities.
Maybe because it's part of your destiny
She scoffs, rolling her eyes. Elvira Nightshade: "Destiny" sounds like something a weak-minded fool would say. There's no such thing. She grabs the tattered paper and crumples it up in frustration.
Come with me then. We can be together away from here.
T-together? You... You mean it?
You don't have to... if you don't want to...
Oh, you know it's not that simple. The nosferatu lord would never let me go. Besides, even if he did, where would I go? I'm a walking corpse, for the love of darkness!
I wrap my arms around her because that's what friends do.
Elvira flinches at the unexpected touch, but then relaxes into the embrace. Elvira Nightshade: You're always so supportive, Vargas. It's... it's infuriating. Why can't I just be happy?
You don't have to if you don't want to.
Elvira sighs, dropping the paper on the ground You say that so easily, but it's not as simple as it sounds. I am bound by blood to this nosferatu lord. Breaking the union would be no easy task...
Hey, that's not cool. You didn't want that marriage either.
I know, it's a bloody nightmare! My parents forced me into this hellish union. They think I should'settle down' and 'have heirs.' Ugh, as if I care about their bloody expectations!
