Part 2
Nicholas's Seduction part 1
by Donna Eubanks
Nicholas Blair is in the basement, he is standing over Angelique's coffin, the candles
are burning, flickering in the damp air. Nicholas seems to be "stroking" the coffin as
he speaks, "My dearest Angelique, what have I done to you? Was I right in bringing
you back this way? I could not bear to see your beauty destroyed." "You know,
Angelique, (my, what a beautiful name) , I could probably be very much IN LOVE with you...."
"You have the perfect face, my dearest, your blonde curls,
and those eyes, they always did hypnotize." "Can I ever trust you again, my dear..?"
"Will you NEVER keep away from Barnabas Collins?"
"My, but you love with such passion, the likes I have never seen!" "I myself, would
like to be loved with so much passion..."
Suddenly the coffin begins to open slowly, very slowly, a delicate white hand is seen
opening the coffin. Also seen is a bunch of blonde curls. Angry, flashing green eyes
look at Nicholas; she is "pouting" like an angry child. "Why did you DO this to me,
Nicholas?" She demands. "My lovely Angelique, I may have been wrong, in doing
what I've done, but at the time, my dear..it seemed only fitting. " "YOU wanted
Barnabas to become a vampire once again, so I thought maybe YOU would like to
know how Barnabas felt..to experience it "first hand", if you will," he says with a
devilish grin. "I HATE you, Nicholas, if you did not have "power" over me I would
attack you!" She screamed at him. "My dear, come..come here to me..take a deep
breath, calm down..and go find yourself a nice "victim"." He places a kiss on her
cheek, and she disappears into the night. The dogs begin to howl.
It is the following night, Nicholas is enjoying a quiet evening at home. He is sitting
as he speaks to the beautiful woman with "hypnotic" eyes. She is sitting across the
room. "What is it, my dear, you look upset, " he says with idle curiosity.
This beauty of a woman was once a witch, but now a vampire. "I AM upset,
Nicholas, because I am bored, I want to go out," she states. "To find
another victim" Angelique?" He asks with a grin. "Yes, yes of course, you
know that is what I must do," she replied. "You may go shortly, my dear," he says
as he walks towards her. "I was just thinking what a perfectly marvelous job we did
"fooling" the Collins family." "They thought you were "my sister", he laughs to
himself. "How did you like being "Cassandra", my dear?" She replies, "Not very
much, it was all such a disaster." "Do you really think they believed us..really, tell
me what you think," she asks him. He is sitting on the sofa, obviously deep in
thought and says dryly, "No, it is possible that they did not believe our little tale...
but that is over and done with, there IS no more Cassandra, only Angelique."
"Such as I am," she lowers her head. "In many ways Cassandra was more fortunate
than I...for she could see the sunlight, and she could see her reflection," she stated
solemnly. Nicholas looks at her and says smugly, "You should have thought of that
before, Angelique."
He rubs his hands together and says to her, "Now, on to business, for I have
new plans, brand new ideas which will amaze you, my dear." "Whatever do
you mean, Nicholas?" She asks him. "I think I shall create "human beings,
myself," he smugly says once again. "But you cannot create them yourself, you
need Dr. Hoffman and Barnabas for that," she tells him. He looks at her with
an evil gleam in his eyes, "I am not talking about creating "beings" from the
parts of the dead...no, I have changed my mind, for soon there will be a new
race of man..." He shall be far superior than "mortal man". He shall be in league
with "our Master". Angelique looked at him in wonder and said, "What are you
planning, Nicholas..., tell me, for I wish to know what it is." "I am going to create a
man myself...with a little help form a beautiful young woman, that is." "Maggie
Evans, she answered, obviously annoyed, she will never agree to have your
child, Nicholas." "We shall see, my dear, we shall see, " he says. "Why don't
you summon your victim , now Angelique. It is getting quite late, " he tells her.
"Yes, yes it is getting late, I want to summon him now." She begins to look "quite
excited", her eyes begin to widen as she speaks... "Joe Haskell, hear my voice
calling to you in the wind..you cannot resist me, you need me, you want me...."
"Come to the house by the sea...hear me Joe...come to me...come to me..."
A short time later Joe Haskell arrives at Nicholas' house, he is dazed and confused.
His color is very pale, "Why did you call me, what do you want with me?" He asks
her with a frightened look in his eyes. "Hello Joe, how nice of you to come, haven't
you been dying to see me?" She sinks her fangs into his strong neck and finds
such ecstasy there. The room becomes darker and darker to Joe, as he suddenly
slips to the floor at her feet. The next morning Nicholas goes into Collinsport
on business. Angelique is asleep in her coffin. The house by the sea is very
quiet now. Joe returns home at five a.m., and collapses in his bed.
Nicholas stops by the Evans cottage to pay a visit to Maggie, and to pick up a
painting her father had done. Sweet and innocent Maggie, she has no idea who
Nicholas Blair really is. Maggie opens the door for him, "Why Mr. Blair, come in...
would you like a cup of coffee?" "Please call me Nicholas, Maggie," he states.
"Yes, coffee would be splendid!" He is "eyeing" her like a cat, looking intently at the
canary. "Is something wrong, Nicholas?" She asks. "You seem to be staring at me."
"Do I have a spot on my dress?" She asks him. "No, no, Maggie, I am sorry, I
was just admiring how lovely you look today, that is all," he remarked.
Maggie begins to blush at his remark. "Oh..I've embarrassed you, haven't I, I am
sorry," he says. "That's all right, don't mention it," Maggie says as she pours them
a steaming cup of coffee. "Have you been into town today, Nicholas?" She asks.
"Why yes, I was there this morning to take care of business, why do you ask, Maggie?"
"Did you see Joe in town, I haven't seen him for days, and I'm worried now," she says.
Nicholas responds to her question with indifference, "Why no, I haven't see Joe, I'm
sure he's all right, Maggie." "He'll come around soon, I'm sure," he replies.
"I hope so, Nicholas." "You can take the painting with you today, " she tells him.
"I have a check for the painting as well, thank you for selling it to me," he says
with his devilish grin. "Well, thank you for being so generous, and buying Pops
painting, he would be honored," She says. " 'Well", he says, "time is growing
rather short, and I must be going..I'm sad to say..but we shall meet again,
Maggie, very soon". Before he walks out the door, he leans over and whispers
in her ear, "Go out with me, Maggie...I shall wine and dine you..and I shall
show you an evening you shall NEVER forget!" Nicholas leaves the cottage.
Maggie stands at the door with a dazed look on her face.
It is evening once again, and Angelique has risen again. "Hello, Nicholas, it is dark
once again," she says with a smile. "Did you enjoy young Haskell last night, my
dear , he asks her with a grin? "Yes, yes I enjoyed him immensely", She says
with an even bigger smile. Angelique walks over to Nicholas, and puts her hand
on his shoulder, "Nicholas, I wish you would give up this foolish idea of yours...you
and Maggie Evans." "You know I've never liked her," she's nothing like you at
all...she is all wrong for you." She states, "Yet you want her to have your child, Nicholas....
That is absurd!" She states, raising her voice. "My dear Angelique, you sound like a
jealous woman, don't you know I have eyes only for you?" He is grinning at her again.
"You have " eyes for yourself ", Nicholas, that is what you have!" She tells him,
obviously upset now. Nicholas is standing by the window and staring at her intently.
She is looking extremely lovely this evening. She is wearing a long, black dress with
white ruffles at the neck and sleeves. Her blonde curls fall gracefully upon her shoulders.
Angelique says to Nicholas, "Nicholas, why are you staring at me so?" "You are
making me uncomfortable." "What are you thinking about", She asks? Nicholas
remains staring, twirling his mustache, there is a certain gleam in his eyes. He is
grinning at Angelique as he speaks. "I was just thinking how lovely you look this
evening, my dear.....VERY LOVELY indeed!" Angelique asks him, "Do you think I
look well enough to go out tonight?" She asks. "No, Angelique, I do not." He replies.
"I think you will stay at home tonight..with me." "But I must, Nicholas, I need to see Joe",
She implores. "Not tonight, my dear, you shall have no need of that." Suddenly his
mood changes, his voice is lower, more seductive, yet commanding......"Come to me
Angelique", He commands her! "Nicholas, you are frightening me...whatever do you mean?"
She continues...."Please do not look at me that way", She tells him! He replies to her,
"You MUST come to me...you know you cannot resist me." She speaks once again, she is
trembling a bit now. "I don't like what you're implying, Nicholas..you know that we
cannot....." Nick comes closer to Angelique, like a panther eyeing his prey. "We can
if I command it, if I will it, it SHALL happen, my dear." "Come to me." He commands her.
Her heart is beating faster now. "Nicholas, I feel that you are looking into my "soul,...
PLEASE STOP!" She begs him. He is determined, he WILL seduce her, because he
desires her desperately, and because he can.
Slowly she walks toward him. She suddenly is filled with an extreme sense of longing.
She feels that she need to be close to him, very close to him, but not in the way of the
vampire this night. It will be as a woman, the way a mortal woman is drawn to a man
for affection and love. She approaches him, she looks into his dark eyes, and says.
"Yes, Nicholas, I want you too," she says in a deep, sultry voice. She stops a
moment and says to him, "But we cannot, what will our "Master" say?" "I shall
explain to our "Master". He WILL understand, for he knows how beautiful you are!
I do believe HE desires you as well, my dear." Nicholas tells her, "You must not bare
your "fangs" this night, Angelique, do you understand?" "You WILL NOT...you will
be a woman, a warm loving, and very, very beautiful woman." " I, Nicholas Blair,
shall make passionate love to you tonight.....ALL NIGHT....", he says with a devilish
smile. Angelique asks him, "Nicholas, what are you doing..you mustn't do this...",
She begs. "I WILL do this, my dear, I AM doing this, Angelique." He begins to
unbutton her dress, her heart begins to beat even faster. He takes her in his arms and
kisses her passionately. He then whispers in her ear, "Come to my bed, Angelique...and I
WILL make love to you!" He picks her up and carries her to his bed. The door closes
and is locked.
The night is over, and the dawn is breaking this day. Nicholas says to Angelique,
"It is nearly dawn, my dear, I suggest you return to your coffin", He says with a smile.
"Nicholas, please restore me as I was, I want my powers returned to me", She begs him.
"Didn't I "please" you last night", She asks with a sparkle in her eyes? "You pleasured me
immensely my darling." " Now to your coffin before it's too late." The beautiful vampire
disappears quickly from the room. The morning passes quietly, as the waves are crashing
in the sea. That afternoon there is a terrible storm beginning outside the house by the sea.
Suddenly, the power is off in the house due to the storm. With a wave of his magnificent
hand, several candles are suddenly aglow in the room. "This is much better," he says
aloud, in fact I prefer it." In the Erie glow of the candlelight, Nicholas hangs the painting he
bought from Maggie. Angelique lies sleeping in her coffin in the basement. Nicholas
returns to the sofa and begins to think, before he realizes, he is fast asleep. He is about
to dream. Maggie Evans is in the house by the sea, she is carrying a baby in her arms.
Nicholas proudly states, "He is magnificent, Maggie, what a splendid boy you have
given me!" Maggie is smiling lovingly at him and says, "Yes, Nicholas, he is the most
beautiful baby I've ever seen." Suddenly he awakens, "Yes, Maggie will help me,
Maggie will give me a son." He says aloud. "If I do anything at all, I WILL make this
happen!" "I WILL make this happen", He declares this to the his "Master" as he
paces the room!
