"I don't think you and I have anything more to discuss, Nicholas. Vicki tells him. I've told you that I don't like what you and Angelique are doing to Maggie, the Collins family, and now you're trying to involve me in some way! She tells him. I don't know how I will do it, but I will stop you both!" She says in anger.
Nicholas looks at her intently for a few minutes and says to her, " My lovely Miss Winters, I do wish you would join us, Angelique and I. He tells her. We can show you a whole new world! You shall have an exciting life, Victoria. You shall do many wonderful things!" Nicholas states.
Vicki shakes her head in defiance. "No, I don't want to join you! You are both wicked and evil! She protests. I don't want to be a part of that!" She tells them.
"Vicki, I think you are becoming sleepy my dear. Nicholas says. He touches her temple. Don't you realize, Vicki, just how sleepy you really are? He asks. Wouldn't you like to lie down and rest?" He suggests. Suddenly, Vicki is very sleepy. Yes, she will have to rest.
"Angelique, bring Miss Winters to her room." He suggests strongly.
"But I don't have a room here. I want to go back to Collinwood!" She tells them.
"My dear, you are much to sleepy to make decisions now. He states. Angelique...." Nicholas points toward Vickis' room.
Angelique brings Vicki to her room, where she immediately falls asleep. While she is sleeping, Angelique brings a pale blue negligee into the room and places it on Vickis' bed. She leaves the room quietly as Vicki sleeps a disturbing sleep.
"Nicholas, what are your plans for Miss Winters? Angelique asks the warlock. Do you really want her to be in league with us?" She asks.
"If lovely Miss Winters is one of us, she will not be a threat to us my dear." Nicholas replies. "So what are you planning Nicholas?" Angelique asks again.
Nicholas looks at her with a wicked gleem in his eyes, and says, "You shall see, Angelique. Just wait."
"Are you going to make her fall madly in love with you, Nicholas?" She asks him.
Nicholas looks at her seriously now and says, "All women fall in love with me my dear. Don't you know that by now?" He says with a wicked grin.
"You are the most conceited man I know, Nicholas Blair!" She shouts at him.
'Careful now, Angelique; your jealous green eyes are showing." He says with a laugh.
"I don't know why I waste my time on you Nicholas!" She complains.
"Because you must, my dear...because I fully expect you to." He says with a wink at her.

Vicki awakens following a strange dream, or so she thinks it is a dream. To her horror though, she finds it is not a dream, but very real. Suddenly the door opens, and Angelique walks into the room. She is dressed very strangely. She is wearing a long red dress, and a long, brown cape. She is dressed the way she looked in the year 1795, when Vicki traveled back to the past.
Vicki gets out of bed as Angelique enters the room and approaches her. "Hello Victoria. Did you sleep well?" Angelique asks her.
"No I did not. What did Nicholas do to make me fall asleep?" Vicki asks the witch.
"Witchcraft Victoria...you know all about that, don't you?" The witch asks.
"I don't want to know anything about it! She states. You've got to let me go!" She tells her. Roger and Elizabeth will be waiting for me, and Barnabas too." Vicki says.
"I am not concerned about them Victoria. Angelique tells her. Here, we have a gift for you," Angelique tells Vicki. Angelique hands the blue negligee to her. "I think it will look lovely with your dark hair." Angelique tells her. She reaches to touch Vickis' hair. She removes the pins in her hair so that her hair falls long and gracefully on her shoulders. 'There, that is much better." Angelique tells Vicki.
Vicki looks at the gown, and says, "No, I don't want it. Take it away! I won't wear it!" She cries. 'What kind of evil are you planning now?" Vicki asks.
"You will see Victoria...you will see." The witch replies to her.
"Someone has to get me out of here! Vicki states nervously. Roger! Jeff!" She calls out, but in vain.
"Put on the gown Victoria, and then we may let you leave." Angelique tells her. "Someone help me!" Vicki cries. As the witch is leaving the room she says to the frightened young woman, "Perhaps you should call Peter Bradford." Suddenly the witch begins to laugh at Vicki, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!
Vicki runs to the door, and tries to open it. The door is locked. "What am I going to do?!" She says aloud. At this moment, Vicki has another visitor, Nicholas Blair. She looks at him in terror. He closes the door and locks it. "Why have you locked the door?! She asks in her panic. I don't want to be locked in here with you!" She tells him.
Vicki runs to the door. Nicholas catches her by the arm, just before she reaches the door. "Victoria, you must stop being so frightened of me." He tells her. She is now looking into his handsome, but quite evil face. Her heart is racing. Her eyes are filled with terror and she is shaking. "You have got to learn to relax, Vicki. Come sit down on the bed." He instructs.
"No, I don't want to! Please let me go, Nicholas! What do you want from me?!" She asks him.
"First, you will sit down on the bed, Vicki." Nicholas tells her. Vicki sits down nervously, and on guard. He sits down beside her. Vicki is feeling so strange with him sitting next to her. She feels as though she may faint.
Nicholas begins to stroke her hair. He picks up a hairbrush from the dresser, and says to her, "May I?" She says nothing, but nods "yes". He begins brushing her beautiful hair. Vicki is feeling stranger by the moment. She feels as though she is in a dream. "I love your hair my dear, I think it is most beautiful." Nicholas remarks. He then whispers in her ear, "You are very lovely, Victoria; don't you know that? He continues to whisper to her, "Put on the gown, Vicki...I want to see you wear it."
