To Feed Is To Live

Kaede writing her letter to The Mundi Family

I write this to you because you saved me from burning in the field. My gratitude to your son Kàrem.l would like to keep my old name.

Kaede : No, that can't happen so easily* .(gets startled by Heiji). Who told you to be here!?

Heiji: You're not Kaine ! Why are you dressed like her??

Kaede: I'm her twin sister !! Don't say anything, please ,Karem Mundi will kill me.

Kyrie: Where is Kaine?? She was injured.

Heiji:What ?!she is?! She was walking just fine yesterday.

Kaede: They just let me rule here, how they found out I was her sister I don't know. I didn't even know myself.

~***Back at the fire with Kaede~

Karem lifts Kaede from the debris . Carries her away.

Kaede coughing : Wait, my family...my parents... I can't just…

Kerem: It was too late for them.

The next morning, Kaede wakes up and sees the windows. Running up to them, her hair gets pulled back.

Karem : You can't run out on your role. Besides, you are a perfect Kaine... missing princess and your twin sister.

Kaede: You saved me because of that??

Karem : Would you rather be burning ??!

Kaede:Thank you for saving me. I just couldn't...

Karem :Save your story for later.

Alice:You look just like Kaine, they won't even notice.

Kaede can't hold back tears and cries out.

Karem leaves the room, only to see Daniel staring at him.

Daniel : Did you hurt Alice?!

Karem : Calm down, who's in there is the girl we saved other than you.

Daniel : Why did you save me, really ?!

Karem :(laughs) Do you really not know??!! Not even the name Angellé ?

Daniel : I don't know what you mean ? I just heard crying.

Karem in his head: Guess he doesn't know...poor boy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back with Heiji and Kaede

Heiji:So then she maybe out there, hopefully not in danger.

Kaede: You've seen my sister ?

Heiji : She was in the camp but got injured ...

Kaede: Do you know if my real parents...

Heiji: I'm sorry...but... I have no right to say that to you.

Takes steps back and gets pinned to the desk.

Kaede hugs Heiji

Kyrie: Wait, did you just...

Kaede: He froze, I can't risk him exposing my real identity. Nor when we are so close to saving..I want to meet my father …and mother.

Kyrie:Our mother died...and our father is in the camp.

Kaede: Wait, you stay here and fill me in.(let's go of Heiji.)

Heiji stares at Kaede and Kyrie.

Heiji: What happened here? Wait, did you-

Kaede: Kyrie will stay with me, you go and save the people.

Heiji: I will go then...

Kyrie: Wait, did he just-

Kaede: Shhh!! It's all in the hug ...he does anything I say once I let go of him.

Kyrie :Oh, ok then...but that won't hurt him later, right?

Kaede: No, I don't think so. Do stay here, Kyrie.

***With Drew drenched in blood of the people he attacked .

Angellé opens the door for him.

Angellé : Is that -

Drew :It's not my blood...

Angellé : I know what you're doing, trying to drive Vira away from you.

Drew: Save your words, I can't help it. It's who I am.

Angellé : You're the first person to have both sides. Other than your parents, that's why they rule right now.

Drew:I'm going to wash up, we must leave here, we are sitting ducks.

Rubine:I'm shocked you're not afraid of him...he's unpredictable.

Angellé :He already killed and drank their blood.I haven't killed someone, not like-

Rubine : You killed many over the years, they rejected your blood of-

Angellé : If only they didn't reject me, they would have lived.

Rubine looks at Vira and then sees Drew walk away.

At the nearby Lake

Drew takes off his clothes and goes in the water.

This overbearing power is what our parents asked for. Their children cursed or were they cursed for choosing this side? Angellé said I was a first after my parents. But why ?

Karem*: You chose the lower food chain. Are family may rule this world, but that's our secret. (laughs) Of course, both you and Vira chose to be both things.

Drew: All you ever do is laugh !!(turns to face Karem)

Karem :Because it is funny ...

Drew: It's not funny when I took the life out of Alice !!

Karem: That's where you are wrong ...I got to her on time, I saved her, my question is why go for her!?

Drew:She was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Karem : You're lucky she didn't die or else … I would have killed you here and now.

Drew:You'd spare me for her life?! When I didn't spare hers ...she knew what I was and was going to tell everyone.

Karem: You gave mercy to her!! Those bite marks ... I could tell...you thought of my feelings for Alice, you didn't bite her like you almost killed Vira.

Drew: Alright ...it's true, I did...

Karem: I won't let you kill Vira she's meant for you.

Drew: Why is it her ?

Karem:To think you are mad over it.

Drew goes under the water and comes back out.

Drew:Can you leave ?!

Karem :Fine, but I told you what I wanted to say. Run away, maybe even together -

Drew: No, I won't let her family be hunted too. I'm going with Angellé.

Karem :Goodbye for now.

Karem disappears from his sight

Drew gets out of the water and walks back to the cabin.

Rubine : Where have you been ?!

Drew: What do you want ?I will leave with Angellé in the morning.

Rubine : Just sleep for now...

Morning with Vira and Rubine.

Vira opens her eyes and looks around.

Rubine* :He told me to give you this letter.

Vira takes the letter ...

To Vira ,

After yesterday's behavior, I decided to leave with Angellé since she is running away too.Don't look for us. I advise you stay with your family, you are safer with them than with me. We will meet again, don't worry.

Be safe,

Drew

Vira let's go of the paper and stares at it fall down.

Rubine :Oh dear, don't -

Vira: He would run away....I kept fainting, and I'm just a burden.

Rubine : Wait, your not mad or sad?!

Vira: I am because... I'm not strong enough !!!I hate this body!!!

Rubine : Don't hate yourself for this.

Vira: I take it back, I didn't mean for those words ...you had me at a difficult time. The cursed children I …I'm sorry mom.

Rubine : You heard us, did you?!I got to tell you something...I won't live for long. Once this baby is born, I'll give it life. To feed is to live.

Vira : You can't be serious...but why would you die? Why leave me too!??

Rubine : I won't leave you, I can teach you-

Vira: Everyone just leaves me!! First Drew, my father now you??!! Did Tatara know this?!

Rubine : He does know, I'm sorry you had to know this way.

Vira runs out of the cabin cries out her lungs.

Tatara: Let her cry, it's going to be a tough day.

Angellé and Drew at another camp site.

Angellé:Why must we go to camps? They already left.

Drew : I don't want to find anyone. You are not hungry?

Angellé : I'm a blood server, not a taker. You have to be careful.

Drew: You should just go back to them!! I don't want you here !!
