The Diary

Anna and Julie

ANNA ( BELLOWINGLY ) " GET OUT OF MY HEAD , GET OUT INFESTATION . TWISTING MY THOUGHTS INTO DARK AND HIDEOUS SLITHERING . GET OUT OR I SHALL REMOVE YOU . I KNOW YOU ARE THERE IN ME . I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTROL ME , I WON'T LET YOU . CAN YOU LISTEN I WON'T LET YOU . I WON'T LET YOU POSSESS ME . ( ANNA PICKS UP A KNIFE AND WALKS ACROSS THE ROOM MENACHINGLY ) . YOU CAN'T HIDE ANY LONGER . YOU CAN'T SCARE ME. I WON'T LET YOU HARM MY CHILD . ( SHE PUTS HER HAND ON THE GAS STOVE ,  SHE GROANS IN PAIN ) I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE . LOOK , I FOUND YOU . YOU ARE TRYING TO HIDE WITHIN ME . I CAN HEAR YOU . YOU ARE THE SCREAM OF MY NERVE . I WILL CUT IT AND END IT ALL AT ONES . I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE YOU KILL ME . YOU ARE THE TRYING TO PLAY WITH ME . YOU ARE TRYING TO MESS WITH MY BRAIN AND CONTROL ME . I WILL SMASH MY HEAD AGAINST THIS MIRROR AND YOU WILL BE DEAD ( ANNA STRIKES HER NECK WITH A KNIFE ) AHHHHHHHHH. . . . . . . . . . 

I WON'T LET YOU KILL ME , I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE YOU KILL ME . "

( SHE POINTS THE KNIFE TOWARDS HER STOMACH AND STABS HERSELF . )

SHERIFF " BETH , WAS FACING MENTAL TRAUMA AFTER ALL THAT HAPPENED WITH GRACIA . MAYBE HERE ACTIONS WERE A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT . YOU ARE AN EDUCATED LADY MISS NICOLE , I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO BELIEVE IN SPIRITS OR DEMONS . NOTHING IS REAL . "

NICOLE " I JUST HAVE A BAD FEELING , LIKE THE TOWN IS UNDER A CURSE . "

SHERIFF " AND THAT CURSE IS THE BLACK SORCERRER . "

PETER " SHERIFF HARINGSTON ! "

SHERIFF " PETER I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HOME . "
