3 DAYS LATER :

PETER " My sweet niece ,

There are many things I want for you ;

A life filled with joy and fulfilment ,

for you to see the world .

To meet new people ,

and learn as much as you can .

Find inspiration in the little things ,

and to say no to the things that drain you .

Wherever this life takes you ,

Just know that ,

From the moment I met you ,

I knew I will do anything for you .

DON'T BE JEALOUS OF MY CUTE , LITTLE BARBIE DOLL ANNA , I HAVE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU TO .

A sister is someone special to me .

A sister is someone to fight with .

A sister is someone to cry with .

A sister can sometimes understand you better than anyone else can .

A sister is there for you through good times and bad .

Some sisters are close .

Some are far apart .

Sometimes you might wish you could change your sister .

But if I changed just one thing about my sister it might ruin something .

Of course my sister wouldn’t be the same .

But most important it might ruin our sister relationship .

We are as close as we could possibly be .

Some people think a sister is just a sister .

But my sister is more than that .

She is and will always be my best friend .

And my sister will always be very special to me .

Because I couldn’t picture what my life would be like without her

DID YOU HEAR IT CAREFULLY ANNA , I CAN'T PICTURE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU .  YOU ARE MY FAMILY . YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE BESIDE ME , YOU ALWAYS DID RIGHT BY MY SIDE , YOU GAVE EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE TO ME AND WHAT DID I GIVE YOU IN RETURN ( SOBBING ) I WAS NOT EVEN THERE TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER . GOD , YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANTED ME TO LEAVE . I FEEL LIKE I AM THE MOST UNLUCKY PERSON IN THE WORLD , I DIDN'T GOT A CHANCE TO TOUCH JULIE , TO HOLD HER IN MY ARMS , TO PLAY WITH HER . I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE . I CAN'T EVEN PROTECT PEOPLE I LOVE . FIRST KATE THEN YOU AND JULIE . "

PETER PICKS UP HIS PHONE AND HEAR THE VOICE MESSAGES ;

" HEY PETER ! ! IT'S ME LILY AGAIN . IT IS THE HUNDREDTH VOICE MESSAGE I GUESS . IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS THEN PLEASE REACH BACK TO ME . DON'T ALOOF YOURSELF . IT WILL BE VERY WRONG IF I SAY FORGET WHAT HAPPENED OR MOVE ON . I JUST WANT YOU TALK ABOUT IT . DON'T KEEP THINGS WITHIN YOU , THAT'S NOT RIGHT . I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT ME AND NOAH ARE YOUR FAMILY . DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE ALONE IN ALL THIS .  "

" HI BUDDY ITS NOAH , I WANTED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING . COPPER DIED THE SAME NIGHT SE SNEEKED INTO THE MARSHALLS . I THOUGHT THAT YOU MUST NO . JUST CALL ME , PETER . "

"PETER, THIS IS SHERIFF HARINGSTON , I TRIED TO REACH YOU BUT YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING MY CALLS . I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT , ABOUT YOUR SISTER TRUST ME YOU WANT TO KNOW IT , SO IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO THIS THEN PLEASE REACH BACK . TAKE CARE . "

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SHERIFF'S OFFICE ;

PETER " MR. HARINGSTON ! "

SHERIFF " PETER , YOU ARE HERE , HOW ARE YOU ?  I WANTED TO SAY THAT I AM SORRY . "

PETER " YOU WANTED TO TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT MY SISTER , SO WHAT IS IT . DID YOU FIND OUT WHO DID THIS TO MY SISTER . "

SHERIFF " WHAT ARE THESE IN YOUR HAND ? "

PETER " THESE ARE PHOTOS ( THROWS THEM ON THE FLOOR )  PROBABLY THEY ARE FROM THE BLACK SORCERRER , HE HAS BEEN SPYING ON ME SINCE LAST THREE DAYS . BY SENDING THESE MAYBE HE WANTED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS NEVER ALONE . "

SHERIFF " PETER , WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO PROTECT YOU , TRUST ME . "

PETER " TRUST YOU , IS THIS A JOKE , I DONT TRUST YOU ANYMORE , YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY SISTER .  "

SHERIFF " THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU , NO ONE CAME INSIDE YOUR HOUSE . WE HAVE SEEN CAMERA RECORDINGS OF THE STREET .  CHARLES , IS THE HEAD OF FBI , HE WAS INVESTIGATING ANNA'S CASE , HE HAS FOUND OUT THAT THE FINGERPRINTS ON THE KNIFE AND COOKER WERE

ANNA'S . SO , POSSIBLY SHE KEPT HER CHILD ON FIRE AND THEN STABBED HERSELF . "

PETER " DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ? NO MOTHER CAN KILL HER OWN CHILD . ANNA LOVED JULIE . "

SHERIFF " THAT'S NOT IT , PETER , THE POSTMORTOM DEPARTMENT HAS DIAGNOSED A STRANGE VIRUS IN ANNA'S BODY . NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD ABOUT THIS VIRUS . APART FROM ANNA , ONE GIRL BETH WAS INFECTED WITH THE SAME VIRUS AND SHE ALSO ENDED UP TAKING HER LIFE . "

PETER " I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING , WHAT VIRUS ?  "

SHERIFF " WE CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT IT . IT HAD NO EXISTENCE TILL FEW DAYS BACK . SCIENTISTS ARE DOING THEIR RESEARCH BUT AS FOR NOW MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT . IT IS CREATED IN A LABORATORY . "

PETER " HOW DOES IT AFFECT US ? "

SHERIFF " CAN'T SAY . "

PETER " DOES IT SPREADS . "

SHERIFF "  WE DON'T KNOW , WE DON'T KNOW WHO CREATED IT , WE DON'T KNOW ITS CAUSE , ITS SYMPTOMS OR ITS CURE . "

PETER " CAN IT BE THE BLACK SORCERRER . "

SHERIFF " IF IT IS THE BLACK SORCERRER THEN DEFINITELY WE WERE UNDERESTIMATING HIS CAPABILITIES THE WHOLE TIME . "

PETER " WHY IS AFTER ME , THE BLACK SORCERRER , WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM ME ?  IF HE WANTS ME DEAD THEN I WILL BE DEAD . "

SHERIFF "  MAY BE HE DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU . "

PETER " HE KILLED MY SISTER . "

SHERIFF " WE CANT SAY IT FOR SURE . WE DON'T KNOW IF HE IS INVOLVED IN SPREADING THE VIRUS . MAY BE THE BLACK SORCERRER IS A PSYCHO SCIENTIST . ( FRUSTATINGLY )THE QUESTIONS ARE PILING UP AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANSWERS EVEN FOR A SINGLE QUESTION . "

PETER  " SO ,HOW CAN WE FIND OUR ANSWER ? "

SHERIFF " BY CATCHING THE BLACK SORCERRER . I DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE FOR WHAT I AM GONNA SAY BUT I HAVE THIS STRONG FEELING THAT THE BLACK SORCERRER HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH KATE'S CASE AND HE IS TRYING TO STOP YOU FROM DIGGING HER CASE . "

PETER " HOW ? "

SHERIFF " WELL ,THAT IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER . I MEAN HE HAS A RECORD FOR SEXUALLY ABUSING GIRLS , ESPECIALLY TEENS OF KATE'S AGE . MAY BE KATE WAS ONE OF THE VICTIM . "

PETER " PLEASE , DONT SAY ANYTHING . IT CANT BE TRUE . "

SHERIFF " I AM SORRY , I AM SO SORRY . I AM JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT THE CASE FROM ALL PERSPECTIVES . I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANY PAGE UNTURNED . I THINK I AM LOSING MY BRAIN . LAST TIME WHEN THE BLACK SORCERRER WAS ACTIVE , WE DID EVERYTHING IN OUR HANDS TO CATCH BUT WE FAILED . AS A RESULT HE DRAINED THOUSANDS OF SOUL OUT OF THEIR BODIES . THE SITUATION IS AGAIN FALLING FROM OUR HANDS . I WON'T LET HIM WIN THIS TIME , I WON'T LET THE HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF . FOR THAT I WONT YOUR HELP . "

PETER " HOW CAN I HELP YOU ? "

( PETER'S PHONE RINGS )

SHERIFF " BEFORE I TELL YOU THAT , I WANT TO WARN YOU THAT IT WON'T BE EASY . "

( PETER'S PHONE RINGS AGAIN . )

SHERIFF " TAKE THE CALL , IT MIGHT BE URGENT . "

PETER "  I AM SORRY , IT IS NOAH , JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE (ON CALL) YES NOAH , HANG ON WHAT IS IT ? WHAT ! ! ! ! !  I WILL BE THERE . "

SHERIFF " WHAT HAPPENED ? "

PETER " CLAIRE HAS KILLED HERSELF. SHE LOCKED HERSELF IN A ROOM AND THEN BURNED IT DOWN TO ASHES . A BURNED BLACK HANDKERCHIEF IS FOUND IN HER ROOM . "

SHERIFF " CLAIRE CANT KILL HERSELF ,  FOR SURE , MAY BE THE VIRUS KILLED HER . "

PETER " IT HAS TO BE THE BLACK SORCERRER , HE IS THE ONE SPREADING THE VIRUS . HE KILLED MY SISTER , MY NIECE . HE DESERVES TO DIE . HE DESERVES TO GET EXECUTED . "

SHERIFF " YOU WOULD THINK THAT ONES THE PERSON HAS BEEN EXECUTED , THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY WOULD BE CONSIDERED PAID . BUT,JUST KILLING HIM , WON'T GIVE JUSTICE TO THE PEOPLES WHO LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF HIM , TO MY WIFE . I WANT TO MAKE HIS LIFE MORE MISERABLE THAN HELL . I WILL IMPRISON HIM FOR LIFE . BEING IMPRISONED IS A TERRYFYING THOUGHT . NOT ONLY ARE YOU SUDDENLY OSTRACIZED FROM SOCIETY ,  BUT YOU ARE ALSO THROWN RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SOCIAL LADDER — AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU , NO ONE IS GOING TO BAT

AN EYE LID . I WILL HANG HIM UP BY HIS SHACKLES AND DEPRIVED OF BOTH FOOD AND WATER FROM DAYS . I WILL STARVE HIM BUT I WONT LET HIM DIE . I WILL FEED HIM NUTRALOAF MEAL THAT TO ONES A WEEK .THE LOAF IS SO DISGUSTINGLY BAD THAT PRISONERS , WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN A WEEK OF NUTRALOAF MEALS AND WEEK OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT , WILL INVARIBLY PICK SOLITARY . I WILL DEPRIVE HIM OF SLEEP . IF THERE'S ONE THING WORSE THAN BEING BEATEN BY YOUR CAPTORS , IT'S A CONSTANT STREAM OF NOICE BEING BLASTED INTO YOUR EARDRUMS YOU ARE TRYING TO SLEEP . I WILL PUSH HIM DOWN MY OFFICE AND CAUSE ALL HIS TEETH TO BE SHATTERED , HIS SKULL TO BE FRACTURED AND SEVRE HEMORRHAGING TO AFFLICT HIS TESTICLES .

IF HE DIES FROM THE SUFFERING THEN HIS BODY WILL BE UP FOR DIBS . YOU MUST HAVE PROBABLY HEARD STORIES ABOUT ORGANS BEING HARVESTED FROM EXECUTED CRIMINALS - - - WHICH , ALTHOUGH DISGUSTING , IS ATLEAST SOMEWHAT JUSTIFICABLE , SINCE TAKING ORGANS MEANS SAVING A LIFE . WHICH WILL COMPENSATE FOR ONE OF THE MANY LIVES HE HAS TAKEN . "

PETER " WAIT HAS HE KILLED YOUR WIFE ? "

SHERIFF " KAREN MY WIFE , SHE WAS ( SPEAKS WITH A HEAVY THROAT AND MISTY EYES )  SHE WAS RAPED AND STRANGLED , HER FACE WAS DISFIGURED BEYOND RECOGNISATION ( TEARS ROLLED DOWN HIS CHEEKS ) , SHE WAS UNCONCIOUS BY THE TIME I FOUND HER , AND WAS IN COMA FOR MORE THAN A MONTH . AND THEN SHE DIED , BEFORE DYING SHE UTTERED IN A LOW VOICE BLACK SORCERRER .IT WAS THEN , I TOOK A PLEDGE THAT THE BLOODY SORCERRER WILL PAY FOR HIS SINS , I WILL MAKE HIM PAY . "

PETER " I AM SO SORRY THAT HE KILLED HER . "

SHERIFF " I KILLED HER, FEW DAYS BEFORE , I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE BLACK SORCERRER HE WROTE THAT THE WORLD IS CRUEL AND EVERYONE LIVING HERE DESERVES TO DIE AND IF I WONT STOP INTERFERRING IN HIS WORK , HE WILL RUIN MY LIFE . I IGNORED THAT THREAT AND HE MADE MY

WIFE PAY FOR IT . NOW I HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE SO FINDING HIM IS THE ONLY AIM OF MY LIFE . "

PETER " WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ? "

SHERIFF " WE WILL USE YOU AS A PREY TO DRAW HIM OUTSIDE HIS DEN . TOMORROW IS PROM IN RAVENWOOD HIGH , GO THERE , TRY TO ACT NORMAL . YOU ARE HIS NEXT TARGET SO I AM SURE THAT HE WILL BE THERE . THE COPS WILL ALSO BE THERE , DISGUISED .  AND ONES HE COMES THERE WE WILL CATCH HIM . BUT I DONT WANT TO FORCE YOU . IT IS RISKY . "

PETER " SHERIFF HARINGSTON , EVEN I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO LOOSE NOW , I WILL BE THERE . "
