(Kain walks onstage and looks very dastardly, not only because he and Ariel have finally patched things up but also because 'that' scene is coming up)
Kain: Can I go forward when my heart is here?
Turn back, dull earth, and find thy centre out.
(Looks one way and then the other and vaults over the prop wall, landing on the other side of the Capulet mansion. Raziel and Benvolio come in at that moment, looking for 'Romeo')
Benvolio: Romeo! My cousin Romeo!
Raziel: He is wise;
And, on my lie, hath stol'n him home to bed.
Benvolio: He ran this way, and leap'd this
orchard wall:
Call, good Mercutio.
Raziel: Nay, I'll conjure too.
Romeo! Humours! Madman! Passion! Lover!
Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh:
Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied;
Cry but 'Ay me!' pronounce but 'love' and 'dove;'
Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word,
One nick-name for her purblind son and heir,
Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim,
When King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid!
He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not;
The ape is dead, and I must conjure him.
I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes,
By her high forehead and her scarlet lip,
By her fine foot, straight leg and quivering thigh
And the demesnes that there adjacent lie,
That in thy likeness thou appear to us!
Benvolio: And if he hear thee, thou wilt anger him.
Random Sarafan in the audience: He jumped behind the wall!!! Romeo's gone and stalking Juliet, the pervert!!! (Laughter from the crowd)
Raziel: This cannot anger him: 'twould anger him
To raise a spirit in his mistress' circle
Of some strange nature, letting it there stand
Till she had laid it and conjured it down;
That were some spite: my invocation
Is fair and honest, and in his mistres s' name
I conjure only but to raise up him.
Benvolio: Come, he hath hid himself among these
trees,
To be consorted with the humorous night:
Blind is his love and best befits the dark.
Raziel: If love be blind, love cannot hit the
mark.
Now will he sit under a medlar tree,
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone.
Romeo, that she were, O, that she were
An open et caetera, thou a poperin pear!
Romeo, good night: I'll to my truckle-bed;
This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep:
Come, shall we go?
Benvolio: Go, then; for 'tis in vain
To seek him here that means not to be found.
(Both head off-stage, lines and the first scene finished. But there was something disturbing about the whole deal. Kain is not backstage; in fact he never even came backstage. This, of course, now has everyone else in a fit)
Anamae: Where is he? Where's Romeo!!!!!! Some body do a head count to make sure no one is missing! Zephon, check the ceilings; Melchiah, look through the sewers to see if your father is down there.
Rahab: Get a hold of yourself, woman! (Slaps her across the face)
Raziel: Aha! I shouldn't have been telling anyone this, but Malek is planning to kill all the vampires and Kain was most likely the first on his list. Malek killed Kain!!! (Points a finger at the Sarafan commander, who is trying to make the most innocent look appear on his face)
Malek: Oh please, like I would really do that, you stupid vampire.
Turel: Paris got jealous of Romeo even before he meets him and kills the competition!! Damn you Malek, you killed our father! Now I'll kill you!
(Takes out a sword and begins to chase the Pillar of Conflict about. Soon everyone else has begun to fight everyone else, none hearing the call for help in the props section)
Kain: Help me…. someone heeeeeeellllllllllpppppppppppp mmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Umah: Everyone shut up!!!! Someone's calling for help!
(Deathly silence fills the backstage and everyone is now able to hear the cry. One of the stage crew looks at the front wall of the Capulet mansion and begins to laugh. Everyone else also begins to laugh as they see Kain, the master vampire, in a most unusual predicament. The reason he had not been able to come backstage was because when he had vaulted the wall, his leggings had gotten caught in a loose nail; now Kain was upside down and unable to get off the wall, his leggings torn and everyone seeing his heart-shaped boxers)
Kain: Someone get me down from here! Everyone stop laughing! Stop laughing!
Ariel: Aww, poor Kain demands respect, even in his underwear.
(More laughter. Finally Kain is brought back down and a new pair of leggings are found for him so scene 2 can finally air. As the curtain rises, the authoress turns to look at Malek who has received quite a beating from Turel)
Anamae: Now what was that about trying to kill all the vampires?
