Vlad: Piercings now? What'll you do next, tattoo your face? Look at this dagger, now that's art!
Violet
her phone starts ringing
Vlad: That's some fancy gadget, isn't it? What does it do? Can it summon demons or something?
Violet
It’s a phone..
Vlad: A "phone"? How does it work? Is it like a magical mirror that shows you the future or something?
Violet
answers the call
Vlad: leans in, trying to peek at the screen Who's calling? Is it a mysterious stranger or a dangerous enemy?
Violet
It’s my friend Lucy
Vlad: Your friend, huh? What's she like? Is she another vampire like us? Or a witch?
Violet
She’s a werewolf
Vlad: A werewolf?! How intriguing! Is she part of a pack or does she go rogue? Tell me everything!
Violet
We met at a camp when we were both 8. We became best friends immediately…she’s very protective of me..and she’s very nice
Vlad: Sounds like she's a true companion. I've always had my fair share of troublesome friends too, but at least they weren't werewolves!
Violet
They were..but not anymore..
Vlad: Well, I hope Lucy knows that you're in good hands with me. I'll make sure you both stay safe and protected.
Violet
Hey,Vi..have you talked to your dad lately?
Vlad: Talked to my dad? That old bloodsucker? Last time I saw him, he was trying to summon some ancient demon or another. He never understands that I'm too cool for that nonsense!
Violet
He asked if I had heard from you
Vlad: Well, tell him he can't reach me unless he's got something interesting! I've got more important things to do than listen to his boring ramblings.
Violet
Alright..he said to tell you that he misses you..he’s been very depressed since you two broke up
Vlad: Ah, him again! I don't need him messing with my head. I've got my own life now, and I'm having way more fun without him around.
Violet
You’re coming home for Thanksgiving, right?
Vlad: Ugh, family gatherings are the worst! All those nosy relatives asking prying questions. But I guess I could tolerate it if it's for your sake, Violet.
Violet
Make sure you bring some blood with you..
Vlad: Don't worry, kiddo. I always come prepared. I'll bring plenty of blood for everyone... and maybe even a few surprises.
Violet
Good
Vlad: Now, enough about me. Tell me more about this Lucy girl. Is she as cool as you? Does she have any sweet tricks?
