"No Nicholas, I don't want to wear that gown! I don't like it! Vicki says in anger and fear. Give it to Angelique, I'm sure she'll be beautiful in it!!" She tells the warlock.
"My, but you are a feisty and spirited one, aren't you, Vicki? Nicholas smiles wickedly. Yes, I can see this is not going to easy." He raises his index finger to the side of his face, to think for a moment.
"What can I do for you, Vicki, to make your stay more comfortable?" He asks.
"I don't want to stay here! I want to go back to Collinwood! I don't want to wear that ridiculous gown either!" She tells him.
"My, I see we have a temper Miss Winters. I didn't know you had one." He grins at her.
"You cannot keep me here Nicholas. This is kidnapping you know!" The frightened young woman tells him.
Nicholas says, with a gleem in his wicked eyes, "You know Vicki, you remind me of my first love; she had your long, dark hair and your spirit."
"Are you going to say that you love me?!!" She asks in astonishment.
"You would like to know the answer to that, now wouldn't you? " He replies with a wicked grin.
Vicki looks at him in amazement and terror. "You are not going to control or possess me!" She cries. "You've got to let me go, you've just got to!"
"Be my love tonight, Victoria. Nicholas says to her quietly, then I shall you go." He tells her, with his famous grin.
Vicki looks at him in awe and says to him, "I don't believe you, Nicholas! I don't believe you will let me go!" She shakes her head in protest.
Suddenly Nicholas' mood darkens. He picks up the blue gown and presents it to her. "Put this on, Victoria...or you will wish you had." He warns her.
Vicki looks at him for several minutes, as tears fill her pretty blue eyes. She looks at the beautiful gown before her. "I can't, it wouldn't be right. Please let me leave, Mr. Blair, she pleads! I promise I'll leave Collinwood, and never come back again! I'll never mention your name again, she vows. Please, you've GOT to let me go! I can't stay here! You can't keep me here any longer, she shouts! HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! Vicki calls desperately.
Nicholas slowly approaches her. At that moment she throws the gown on the floor. Through tear-stricken eyes, and terror in her heart, she tells him, "Here, you wear the gown if you're so fond of it!!"
"You've got to learn to follow orders, my dear." Nicholas warns her. She looks at him with defiance now. Her cheeks are stained with tears. "I am not Angelique! You may tell her what to do, but not me!!" Vicki tells him. The handsome, but frightening warlock is very close to her now. He is looking at Vicki quite strangely. "Tonight Victoria, you shall not be Vicki Winters. You shall become my beloved. You shall become, Donamarie." Nicholas pauses for a moment, as he thinks of his lost love.
"I've not seen Donamarie in a century, for she died so long ago." Nicholas tells Vicki.
Vicki looks at him with wide, terror-stricken eyes! "Oh my God..you are planning to do this!! She says in horror. NO!! I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!" She tries to run from him. Nicholas catches her as she tries to make her escape.
At this point in time, she knows she has no choice. His will and powers are much too strong for her to defeat. Nicholas takes her by the chin, and looks into her eyes. "You ARE Donamarie!" He commands. His eyes are locked with hers. She stands motionless, and barely able to breathe. His will upon her is so strong. He is going to kiss her, she knows that. What she cannot understand is, why she closes her eyes as she eagerly accepts his kiss.
