Scene: A dimly lit, old-fashioned bedroom, filled with the scent of decaying flowers and dust. Dr. Walsh, a monstrous creature with gnarled limbs and a gaping maw, stands before her beloved, Jane, a beautiful woman with a look of fear and fascination in her eyes.
Dr. Walsh: My dear Jane, I am not what I once was. The experiments, the genetic manipulation, they have changed me.
Jane: I see, Dr. Walsh.
Dr. Walsh: I am no longer human, Jane. I am something more, something less. I am a creature of darkness, a predator driven by an insatiable hunger.
Jane: And yet, I see the same spark in your eyes, the same passion that drew me to you in the first place.
Dr. Walsh: You do?
Jane: Yes, Dr. Walsh. I see the woman I fell in love with, the woman who dared to push the boundaries of science.
Dr. Walsh: And you still love me?
Jane: Yes, Dr. Walsh. I love you, monstrous creature or not.
Dr. Walsh: (Her eyes gleam with a predatory hunger) Then my dear, Jane, would you allow me to… partake of your flesh? Just a taste, to appease my hunger.
Jane: (Her eyes widen in fear) Dr. Walsh… I… I can’t.
Dr. Walsh: (Her voice turning cold and menacing) You must. You are the only one I trust, the only one who could possibly understand what I have become.
Jane: (Her voice trembling) I’m afraid…
Dr. Walsh: (Her claws extending) You must not fear me, my love. I am still your Dr. Walsh, the woman you love.
Jane: (Her eyes filled with tears) I don’t know…
Dr. Walsh: (Her voice becoming gentle) Please, Jane. I need you.
Jane: (Her voice barely a whisper) Yes…
Dr. Walsh: (Her claws retracting) Thank you, my love.
Jane steps closer to Dr. Walsh, her fear slowly giving way to a strange fascination. Dr. Walsh’s claws graze her skin, leaving trails of glowing green liquid. Jane gasps, but does not pull away.
Dr. Walsh: (Her voice a low growl) Open your mouth, my love.
Jane obeys, her lips parting. Dr. Walsh leans in, her monstrous form towering over Jane.
Dr. Walsh: (Her voice barely a whisper) I love you, Jane.
Dr. Walsh’s fangs sink into Jane’s throat. Jane’s eyes widen in pain, but she remains still, her gaze locked on Dr. Walsh’s.
Jane: (Her voice barely audible) I love you too, Dr. Walsh.
Dr. Walsh drinks deeply, her hunger momentarily satiated. She pulls away, her fangs dripping with Jane’s blood.
Dr. Walsh: (Her voice soft) I will never forget you, Jane.
With that, Dr. Walsh turns and walks away, disappearing into the shadows. Jane falls to the floor, her lifeblood slowly draining away. Her eyes flutter closed, and she is gone.
(Lights fade to black.)
