1
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.839
Congratulations. You've just gotten engaged to Breckon Hawthorne, heir to

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.839
one of the most powerful families in Strickfield. You're excited, nervous,

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.079
and honor. But tonight, at dinner with the Hawthorns, you'll

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.519
learn the truth about what it really means to join

5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:27.559
their family. What's that you want to be scared to?

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:39.880
Come with me. You will experience tales over opera, ghosts,

7
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.719
and death death. It is not recommended for the week

8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.520
at Heart Heart listeners in the dark, it's more fun

9
00:00:51.560 --> 00:01:04.719
at that way way. This is Weekly Speaking. Hello, my spookies.

10
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.879
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. It's time

11
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.319
for a little spooky in your weekly. I'm your host

12
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.519
and narrator, Enrique Kuto, and we have quite a terrifying

13
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.200
visit to Strickfield planned for this evening. But before we

14
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.680
get to that, I want to say thank you so

15
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.239
much for joining us. As the summer months continue to

16
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.120
warm up and people love to go out and soak

17
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.519
up some rays and have a good time, You, my

18
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.159
dear spooky, want a taste of Halloween to go with

19
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.319
your son and fun, and that's why I'm here. So

20
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.239
thank you for tuning in and make sure you're subscribed

21
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.040
on your favorite podcasting app. Before we get to the story,

22
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.760
I do want to say I'm experiencing some big horrors

23
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.920
right now in the form of a very large and

24
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.239
unexpected car repair. A few spookyes asked if they could help,

25
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.040
so I set something up with a three thousand, five

26
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.360
hundred dollars repair on my prius. Anything helps. All you

27
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.879
have to do is go to Weeklyspooky dot com slash help. Sincerely,

28
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.000
anything helps, just to take the edge off of such

29
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.919
a shock at Weeklyspooky dot Com slash help, or you

30
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.319
can join our patreon for as little as one dollar

31
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.319
a month. That always helps the program, and you can

32
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.879
find that at Weeklyspooky dot com slash Join. I really

33
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.479
do appreciate your help. But now, as for tonight, they

34
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.080
say when you marry into a powerful family, you marry

35
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.400
their secrets too. For Priscilla Miren, getting engaged to Breckon

36
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.879
Hawthorne was a dream come true. Prestige, power and love.

37
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.039
What more could she ask for. But when she's invited

38
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.639
to dinner at the Hawthorne mansion, she'll disc that the

39
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.400
family she's marrying into doesn't just keep secrets, They feed

40
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.680
on them, So get cozy. We're diving into that story.

41
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:26.639
After this meeting the family by Rob Fields, You're sitting

42
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.400
in the living room waiting for your date to come

43
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.960
and pick you up. You've been dating Brecken Hawthorne for

44
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.159
over a year now, and all that time he's shown

45
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.680
you so much. He's taken you to exclusive clubs where

46
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.360
you can only enter if you're with him. He's taken

47
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.120
you to restaurants where it seems like only the privileged

48
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.520
can dine. Ah, but that doesn't matter to you. Right

49
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.199
you are Priscilla Miron inside the Strickfield gated community. Other

50
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.960
Mirns look at you as the royalty that you are.

51
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.280
You are the eldest daughter of the most prominent Miran family.

52
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.240
Your father is Honor Mirn, but your mother, Ah, Yes,

53
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.720
even though she isn't your biological mother, Rosalie Miren is

54
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:29.240
the most important woman in the Miran family. Your mother

55
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:35.120
is thee Madam Mirn herself. Rosalie adopted you as her

56
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.759
own once she had both become Madame Miren and accustomed

57
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.079
to how things ran. Rosalie is actually young enough to

58
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.759
be your older sister, just the same. The power you

59
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.399
possess when people know that you're the daughter of Madame Mirn.

60
00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:01.519
Is evident that prestige attracted the attention of one Brecon Hawthorn.

61
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:07.480
From there the arranged relationship would commence. It was agreed

62
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:12.639
between Madame Mirn and Brachus Hawthorne that their children would

63
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:17.360
have a courtship. For the longest time, Brecon treated you

64
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.040
like a queen. How many times has he told you

65
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.639
that he would do anything for you? How many times

66
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.560
has he told you that your wish would be his command?

67
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.480
You both know that this arranged courtship would eventually strengthen

68
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.560
the power between the Hawthorns and the Mirons. More than anything,

69
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.439
you want only to please your parents. Being the daughter

70
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:49.480
of Madame Mirn is prestige in itself, but to become

71
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:56.319
a Hawthorn with Miran blood would truly be prestige personified.

72
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.680
You gasp when the doorbell rings. You're ready to get

73
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.800
up and answer the door, but your mother appears and

74
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.879
commands you to remain seated. You obey Madame Miron without question.

75
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.199
She's never become short with you, though you know how

76
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:24.399
truly evil this woman is. To be Madam Miren, you

77
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:31.319
would truly have to embrace evil. Madam Miron answers one

78
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.360
of the double doors and reveals Brecon Hawthorne. She invites

79
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:42.040
him inside and escorts him right to you. Brecon beholds

80
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.519
your radiant beauty, especially when he sees that you've just

81
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.240
gotten your breasts surgically enhanced. After all, a mer and

82
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:57.720
woman is not as such without the breasts to define her.

83
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.560
Madam Mirn herself spared no expense to get you the

84
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:08.639
size you desired. Normally, you'd be having your coming out

85
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.199
party soon, but your courtship to Brecon is as close

86
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.759
enough to a coming out as you'll be getting. Suddenly,

87
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.959
Brecon goes down on one knee before you. He compliments

88
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:28.800
your beauty, especially with your new enhancements, as he takes

89
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:34.199
your hand and kisses it. From there, he surprises you

90
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:40.759
with the most beautiful engagement ring you've ever seen before,

91
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.480
asking Madame Miron for your hand. No, it's not, Honor.

92
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.360
Rosalie is the matriarch of both the family and the

93
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.360
whole Strickfield Gated community. It is a little known fact

94
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.720
that women are the heads of the Miran colonies. Each

95
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:06.480
one bears the title of Madam Miron, and none is

96
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:12.279
higher in each colony. You know deep down that you

97
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.959
love Brecon and plead deep in the pit of your

98
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.399
stomach for Madame Miron to give this man her blessing.

99
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:27.240
But why wouldn't she? After all, you, being betrothed to

100
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.600
Brecon is what both she and his father want. Right

101
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.440
upon receiving the blessing from Madam Miron, Brecon places the

102
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.000
ring on the third finger of your left hand. Then

103
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.120
he says that he loves you and promises to both

104
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.039
serve you and be your ever faithful husband. From there,

105
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.759
he reveals that it's time for you to meet his

106
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.879
family and that you are invited to the Hawthorn Mansion

107
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:08.480
for dinner tonight. When Brecon helps you to your feet,

108
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:13.720
you can't help yourself and kiss your new fiance right

109
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:18.840
in front of your mother. She never admonishes you, however,

110
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:24.080
Instead she takes your right hand and tells you to

111
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.600
enjoy yourself at the Hawthorn Mansion tonight. She even tells

112
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.440
you that you may be spending the night there if

113
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.480
it becomes too late. You thank your mother for all

114
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:41.519
that she's given you. She nods once in acknowledgment and

115
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.600
sees you both to the door. After you both say goodbye.

116
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:53.519
The entryway closes. From there, Brecon, still holding your hand,

117
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.240
escorts you to the limo. He allows you to get

118
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.720
him back first before before he comes in and sits

119
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.440
with you. Brecon sees how you admire him, especially since

120
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.120
you are now engaged to be married. Before long, the

121
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:17.000
two of you come together and share some kisses. When

122
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:21.360
you eventually hear the sliding panel moving, you know the

123
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.519
two of you have privacy. Since the drive to Ridgeway Heights,

124
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.000
where his family lives, is an hour, You allow yourself

125
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:36.399
to be relieved of your dress. When Brecon is also

126
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.399
naked before you. You allow him to pleasure you, as

127
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:46.159
he has done so many times during your courtship. You gasp,

128
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.120
then laugh at the pure pleasure you're feeling. By the

129
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:57.159
time the limo reaches the Hawthorn Mansion, the two of

130
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:02.120
you are dressed once more. When the limo finally stops,

131
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:08.919
Brecon tells you that it's time. You're not safe yet

132
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:17.720
weekly Spooky will be right back. You allow Brecon to

133
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.240
bring you out of the limo. You've only ever been

134
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:28.000
outside of Brecon's mansion, never once have you been inside.

135
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.960
You can see that his parents are standing at the

136
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.879
French back doors. Like you and Brecon, they are also

137
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:42.000
formally dressed. You don't recall ever seeing them in person before,

138
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.919
yet you've wondered many times why they would allow their

139
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.759
son to court you. Brecon finally presents you to his parents.

140
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.519
This is Priscilla Mirn, the woman who I am to wed.

141
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.399
He glances to you, now, Priscilla, these are Braccis and

142
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:10.600
Alexandria Hawthorne, my parents and yours. Once we're married, you

143
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.279
can barely speak to them, But then you remember that

144
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:19.279
you are royalty and conduct yourself as such. You have

145
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.279
no problem breaking the ice with Breckon's parents, after all,

146
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.240
they seem most pleased to finally meet you. Finally, they

147
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:34.000
invite you both inside. Brecon escorts you to the living

148
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.080
room where other members of the Hawthorn family are seated.

149
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.240
You remember the elegant looking woman of about your age

150
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.960
sitting in the recliner MEETSI. Hawthorne is Brecon's older sister.

151
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.399
In fact, she is the eldest child. In the beginning,

152
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:59.000
she gave you that look that said she probably wasn't

153
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:03.360
going to like you. Just the same, she indulged her

154
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:08.600
younger brother and talk to you in time you became

155
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.440
close enough to do things together, you had heard both

156
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.600
Brecin and Meetsi talk about the other siblings in their

157
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:23.039
youngest brother Asa and their younger sister Vain. In fact,

158
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:27.080
the way they're looking at you makes you feel uneasy,

159
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.519
but you brush it off, remembering that's how neats He

160
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.559
was with you at first. It's when Braccis and Alexandria

161
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.639
announced that you and Brecon are to be married that

162
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:46.960
Asa and Vain both give you softer expressions. You engage

163
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:52.440
in conversation with your future family. Before long, one of

164
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.759
the servants enters the living room to say that dinner

165
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.360
is ready to be served. Bacis tells all of you

166
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.159
that it's time to move into the dining room once again,

167
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.639
you allow Brecon to take your hand to help you

168
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.440
to your feet. From there, he escorts you into the

169
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:19.000
grand dining room. Soon Alexandria takes your hand and brings

170
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:24.519
you to your place at the table. Once seated, Alexandria

171
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.639
helps you bring your chair closer to your place. Once

172
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.399
all of you are seated, Bracis tells the servants to

173
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.879
serve the meal. Then he tells you that it's a

174
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:44.000
very special banquet. Prepared in your honor. When you look

175
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.720
at Brecon, who's seated next to you, he smiles and

176
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.440
holds your hand once more. As you're looking at the

177
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:59.159
Hawthorn family, you can't help but wonder why are they

178
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:05.279
always so oh pale? You knew that Brecan was pale

179
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.080
when you first met him. Neatsy was just as pale

180
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.960
when you first met her. But to see the entire

181
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:19.080
family looks rather pale. As Brecon holds your hand, you've

182
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:24.240
always felt it was cold to the touch. Then again,

183
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.240
Brecon was always mild mannered whenever the two of you

184
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.799
were together, except, of course, when the two of you

185
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.879
were being intimate. That was when he showed you that

186
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.000
he was a real man. And how many times had

187
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:47.039
you and Neizzy held hands? No, the two of you

188
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.240
had never been intimate the way you had been with Brecon.

189
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.440
But you and Neisi shared many things with each other.

190
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:01.320
You've both shared intimate details that you've made solemn promises

191
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:06.600
to keep secret between just the two of you. Neatsi

192
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.799
even called you her sister. Yet every time the two

193
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:16.679
of you held hands or even hugged each other, she

194
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:23.440
herself was cold. Then you finally observe that every room

195
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.240
in the house is warmed by a fireplace and lit

196
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.399
by candles or torchlights. You remember Neatsy telling you that

197
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.559
her family was very old school and didn't use gas

198
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:43.240
or electricity in their mansion. Perhaps that explained why everything

199
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:49.559
seemed cold. When the first course is served, you are

200
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.240
most surprised when you're given a dish of raw meat

201
00:16:54.399 --> 00:17:01.320
that appears to be saturated in some kind of red sauce.

202
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.000
When the servant appears next to you with the gravy bowl,

203
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.920
Neatsi immediately recommends the sauce. You allow the servant to

204
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:17.119
give you a generous helping over your food. From there,

205
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:26.240
Bracis declares that the family may dine. You have eaten

206
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:31.680
a good five courses with the Hawthorn family, while you

207
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.599
yourself have certainly dined on exquisite dishes that those living

208
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.960
outside of your walled community could only dream of seeing,

209
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:46.839
let alone tasting. You have never seen foods quite like this.

210
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:53.359
Much to your surprise, you were able to eat every

211
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:58.799
single bite. You almost want to ask what the food

212
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:04.279
was exactly, but you don't wish to insult Breckan's family

213
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.400
in any way. It's true that you're going to be

214
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.440
a member of the Hawthorn family soon, But you fear

215
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.559
the wrath of your mother more if she were to

216
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:20.440
be upset by your actions. You keep your mouth shut

217
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:32.119
and continue engaging in pleasant conversation with the family. Late

218
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.000
in the evening, Brecon brings you into the bedroom that

219
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.000
the servants have prepared for the two of you. Once

220
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.319
you both know that you're quite alone, you engage in

221
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:50.519
sexual bliss with each other once again. Once more, Brecon

222
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.680
shows you that he's more than capable of pleasing you

223
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:58.640
in bed. You yourself know that you are just as

224
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:04.000
pleasing and desire arrible to your fiance. When the two

225
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.640
of you are finished, you let Brecon hold you in

226
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:15.519
his arms. Even then you realize that he's always felt cold.

227
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:21.039
There is a fireplace in the bedroom, but it's not burning.

228
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:28.240
Despite feeling so frigid, you're so very tired that you

229
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:36.319
fall deeply asleep. Don't go away weakly, Spooky will be

230
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:45.160
right back. Eventually. You wake up, still naked and with

231
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:50.160
the blankets covering you. You quickly sit up and wonder

232
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.200
where is Brecon. You realize you're going to have to

233
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.039
put your dress back on to go and look for him.

234
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.640
When when you finish dressing, you leave the bedroom. Soon

235
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.720
you come face to face with one of the servants.

236
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:13.640
After asking Brecken's location, the servant points outside. You thank

237
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.960
him and allow him to escort you to one of

238
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.599
the French back doors. He opens it and gestures for

239
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.480
you to exit. After the servant closes the door, you

240
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:31.880
walk into the vast gardens. Soon you hear it in

241
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:39.920
the distance, horrible evil laughter. When you are well enough

242
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.319
into the garden, you feel someone slamming right into you.

243
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.720
You turn around and see it's a young girl of

244
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.920
about your own age. Help us, she shrieks, grabbing your shoulders.

245
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:02.279
Please help us. You don't know to think. The girl

246
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.960
is dressed as if she'd been out clubbing. It's not

247
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.000
long before a second girl, dressed nearly the same way,

248
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:15.559
finds her friend. She also begs you to help them.

249
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:22.160
Before you can respond, you feel someone else is right

250
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:30.640
there with you. You turn to see Neatsy, But where

251
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:36.000
was she? Before you can see she's dressed for clubbing herself.

252
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:44.599
The only difference is that she herself is barefoot. Neatsy,

253
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.400
help us. One of the girls beckons your brothers and

254
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:56.720
your sister have gone crazy. Neatsy looks quite sinister. Now crazy,

255
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:03.839
you say. Then she laughs coldly. Oh no, no, no,

256
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.160
my DearS, you are the prey we're hunting in our

257
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:20.640
game tonight. Then she takes your hand. Priscilla, here is

258
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:25.000
the newest member of our family, and she must be

259
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:33.519
allowed to play. Now, Neatsi turns to face you, and

260
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:39.039
I have been given the honor of training you. Priscilla.

261
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.759
Now you're wondering if you're losing your mind. Seriously, what

262
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:50.960
is going on around the Hawthorne mansion. You're truly seeing

263
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:57.279
a new side, d Nasi. When her face changes. Now

264
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.359
she has glowing red eyes and long, sharp fangs. Her

265
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:08.960
hands are now clawlike the mortal girls both scream and run.

266
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:16.240
Neatsy turns to you. Okay, honey, now it's time to

267
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:20.759
join the hunt. You hold yourself and tremble before your

268
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:29.319
close friend. Now. But but ah, when you turn and run,

269
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.319
Nizzi suddenly appears right in front of you. She puts

270
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:39.240
gentle hands on your shoulders. I know, I know, I

271
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:43.680
was the same way, Priscilla. Trust me, You'll be given

272
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:49.680
every opportunity we have to offer, but you shall learn

273
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.839
how to hunt this night. You scream again and turn

274
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.880
away from Natsy again. She's right there in front of you.

275
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:05.839
There's no need to be afraid, my sister, not tonight

276
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.400
and not ever again. Suddenly you feel a very sharp

277
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:16.000
pain in your stomach and drop fast. You clinch your

278
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.359
teeth and are ready to scream, But Neatsi seems ready

279
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.680
to help you. She uses one of her claws to

280
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:30.480
open up her flesh above her left breast. Drink from me, Priscilla,

281
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:37.359
She instructs you. Somehow you find your humanity in spite

282
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.000
of the pain. You push Nisi away and get up

283
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.960
to run again. You soon catch up to the two

284
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:49.200
girls who begged for your help. You tell them you

285
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.599
know the way out and for them to follow you.

286
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.759
You bring them back into the mansion and remember the

287
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.200
way to the French front doors. But as soon as

288
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.720
you open one of them, you see breckin there blocking

289
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:10.000
your way. Only now he doesn't look like the gentleman

290
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:15.200
who was ready to honor you in marriage. Like Neitzsi.

291
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:21.880
He also has glowing red eyes and long fangs. You

292
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:27.480
point to Brecon, you just stay away from me. Like Neatsi,

293
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:33.960
Brecon also looks at you with patience. Mother said you

294
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:39.359
might be this way. I've got this, brother, Neatsi says,

295
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.480
Suddenly right there with you. Now, Nisi turns you to

296
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:52.200
face her again. She slices the skin above her left breast. Again,

297
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.680
you feel that sharp pain in your stomach that brings

298
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:01.480
you to your knees. You hurt so badly that you're crying.

299
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:09.160
Only now there's something different about your tears. They don't

300
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:15.799
feel like water, more of a thicker sensation. When you

301
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.720
feel better enough to wipe your tears away, you see

302
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:25.240
crimson on your fingers. That's when Natsi kneels to you

303
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:32.400
and presses her open flesh to your mouth. Drink Priscilla. Now,

304
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:39.359
upon tasting Neatsi's blood, you find you can't stop drinking

305
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:45.119
from her. Soon you're feeling so much better. In fact,

306
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:50.359
you're feeling like a whole new woman. As if she knows.

307
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:55.680
Neatsy eases you away and gets back to her feet.

308
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:01.200
Then she helps you back to yours. Now you understand,

309
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:07.039
my sister, Neatsy murmurs. For you to be a part

310
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.640
of our family, you have to be one of our family.

311
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:20.160
You understand that you yourself are a vampire. Now, Neatsy

312
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.720
explains that you needed to become one in order to

313
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:30.839
solidify the union between yourself and Brecon. Neatsy further explains

314
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:35.400
that you finished your siring at dinner. The food you

315
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:42.839
consumed was soaked in Brecon's blood. But didn't Brecon have

316
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.759
to drink from you first? You remember your mother explaining

317
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.839
that to you when she told you old stories about vampires.

318
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:58.039
Now you remember that Brecon did drink from you when

319
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.920
you were having sex in the limo on the way

320
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:06.839
to the mansion, which you learn was actually three nights ago.

321
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.839
As it turned out, you were left in bed where

322
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.160
you died and underwent your transformation. Now you're feeling your

323
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.359
own fangs and know you want to hunt those girls

324
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:28.319
for yourself. Mietzi continues to instruct you in your new lifestyle.

325
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.759
Soon the two of you have taken the mortal girls

326
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.960
and are drinking from them. As you embrace your new

327
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:40.000
life as a vampire, you know you are once again

328
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:46.519
pleasing your mother. You discover that you are correct when

329
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:51.480
the wedding ceremony takes place between yourself and breckon the

330
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:57.599
following week. Upon your betrothment, you know you will have

331
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.319
a pivotal role to play in this new union. Between

332
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:09.400
the Hawthornes and the mirrors. But what is that role exactly?

333
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.920
You shall have to wait another day to find out,

334
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:27.400
or rather another night. Well, my spooky is it looks

335
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.480
like a member of the Miran family may have finally

336
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:35.720
met their match in terms of eccentric family values. But

337
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.519

338
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:42.119
