Mina's Waltz Partner

(This scene starts at the dance floor in a grand ballroom of the Nautilus. Captain Nemo stands amongst the League near the doorway, welcoming all who come in and is dressed in dark sea green rather than dark blue of his normal uniform, the designs are gold rather than silver and he has one gold medallion perched in the center of his dark green turban. Dr. Jekyll is the next to walk in, dressed in his usual suit of black with his gold watch chain hanging from a pocket in his jacket, though now his shoes are shined and he wears a light silver vest underneath his black jacket. The next in is our own Dorian Gray, dressed in an off white ensemble, with cream colored lapels frilled to the max, his cane gleaming as he walks along the dance floor, his solid black polished shoes making a soft click against the wood. Next came Sawyer, not dressed entirely fancy, but enough just to notice. He actually had tried to comb his unruly hair, giving it a fake almost plastic look along with his brown suit with a crisp white shirt beneath it along with a brown tie. Skinner walked in along side Tom with a black suit and black cape, invisible of course to give him more of a haunting look, his top hat bobbing up and down as he tipped it to the others in a comical way.)

(Finally walks in Mina, dressed in light blue, the neckline dipping seductively low, enough to make some of the men do a double take toward her direction. She wears a silver charm on a light blue ribbon around her neck, for looks and to cover up her puncture marks without having to cover her entire neck. The dress swirls left and right as she takes small steps into the room, curtsying to each man in turn but pausing slightly when she reaches Dorian.)

(Later in the night a slow waltz-like song strikes up, Mina though has sat down near one of the tables that lay on the outskirts of the dance floor while the men walk around, getting drinks talking, etc. Mina sits prim and pretty until she sees him walk amongst the other men, his bright suit standing out from the others like a sore thumb. She catches her breath as the music seems to swell in her head, Dorian's trademark smirk apparent on his face, yet tonight it seems like it is more sincere, his eyes shining with the light from the ballroom.)

(Soft music softly becomes a little louder as Mina's voice flows in time with the dancing music. The lights growing a bit dimmer.)

Mina: Speaking of the devil
Look who just walked in.
He knows just where to find me,
Here we go again.

(Dorian smirks and begins to slow as he catches Mina's eye, slowly letting his own dark orbs travel up and down her regally sitting body. She catches where his gaze is and turns away, his eyes taking on an appearance of hurt but slowly beginning to make his way toward her.)

I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance
But that's not as far as he wants to go.

(Mina looks upward toward the heavens taking a quick deep breath.)

I need ten thousand angels to help me tell him no.

(She gets up from her chair only to feel the warmth of a hand pressed against her arm, slowly the same warmth comes toward her other arm as she turns quickly to see Dorian Gray embracing her lightly, his lips caressing her cheek as they begin to sing in harmony, their voices tying together as though they have been a duet for years.)

Both:Lead me not into temptation

(Dorian spins her to face him gently in a turn.)

Mina: (Closes her eyes and turns her head away.) Heaven help me to be strong.

(Dorian cradles her in a light hug, stroking her hair softly while they slowly move side to side in time with the music.)

Both: I can fight all that I'm feeling

Mina: But I can't do it alone

(Dorian twirls Mina in a slight arc around his own body, her skirts viewed from a sky vantage as they branch out from the air of her twirling, the blue frills making her look like a dancing flower with her red hair as a center.)

Both: Help me break this spell that I'm under

Mina: Guide my feet and hold me tight. (At the tight line, Dorian rolls Mina from him and then brings her back in a tight embrace giving her a light kiss on the cheek, making her turn away and looking toward the heavens, her eyes closed and concentrated.)

Both: I need ten thousand angels

Mina: (Turns and faces him, her eyes glassy yet holding back, trying to focus on what she has to do.)Watching over me tonight

Mina: It's time to face my weakness
Look him in the eye
Lord knows it won't be easy

(Falls out of step and rolls out of his grip, trying to find another partner to dance with.)
But I've just gotta try

(Dorian has the same smirk playing on his face as he grabs her from the back and hugs her close, letting his arms stray around her waist and turning her to face him once again, his lips longing for her to kiss him like they had long ago, back when they were lovers.)

I can't let myself get lost in his arms
That's how I got my heart broke before
I need ten thousand angels to walk me out the door

Both: Lead me not into temptation
Mina: Heaven help me to be strong

(Dorian pulls her closer, going in for a kiss from Mina, she does a graceful dodge and walks toward where some of the men are standing talking, but Dorian cutes her off and dances with her once more.)

Both: I can fight all that I'm feeling
Mina: But I can't do it alone

(Mina dances with him during the lull of the song, until he goes for another kiss as she dodges once more, this time with a purposeful step on his toe as she heads toward a dark clothed figure standing in the back of the room.)

Both: Help me break this spell that I'm under

(Dorian once again grabs her arm and spins her back toward his waiting arms.)

Mina: Guide my feet and hold me tight

(Does one final spin away and then crashes into something the camera cannot see. Her eyes are in a state of shock as she lets them rest on the man standing in front of her. It's her own Henry Jekyll! He looks and sees Dorian standing alone in the middle of the dance floor and quickly extends his arm in Mina's direction as she takes it graciously. Dorian is no longer singing with Mina in the dark tone, but now it's Henry singing with a smile on his face as slowly a smile grows on Mina's.)

Henry and Mina: I need ten thousand angels watching over me tonight
I need ten thousand angels

(Henry pulls Mina in an embrace as the move toward the dance floor, both with love in their eyes and smile apon their faces.)

Mina: watching over me tonight
Ten thousand angels, watching over me tonight

(Lets her head fall onto his shoulder while they dance softly along the dance floor, Henry holding her gently and kissing the top of her head as they dance in a soft swaying waltz.)

Mina: Ten thousand angels, watching over me tonight
Watching over me tonight…
