Mad Father Script

Scene 3 - Midnight

Aya is all alone. Clock strikes midnight.

Aya: It's midnight... Today's the day mum went to heaven...Mum... I can never sleep when I think about mum.
Goes over to photo.
Mum. What should I do mum? I do love Father but. She scares me. She's always... looking at me with those eyes. I hate her. But I know Father likes her. If father and her got married. I guess she would be my new mum... I don't want her to be my new mum. I don't need a new mum. There's only one mum in the world for me. You where so sick mum, so very ill. Mum, why did you have to go?
Lights dim.
The room feels cold all of a sudden. I'm kinda scared... I should get back to bed.
She gets into bed.
We were such a happy family. But then mum passed away from illness... And the happiness we had, well... Goodnight.

The lights turn off. Late at night, A scream is heard. The lights turn back on. Aya wakes in a shock.

Aya: Father! That scream.. Father? Something must of happened. I'll go check on Father.

Aya walks around in the dark hallway.

Aya: I have a bad feeling... What's that sound? Is it a voice?

Two corpses slowly walk up to her making groaning noises

Aya: Ah! No! AHHH!!

Runs the other way. After a short while she runs towards a boy, Dio, his face half turned.

Dio: Quick. Stay with me.

Aya: What? Who's that?

Dio: Come with me. I'll keep you safe.

Aya: I don't know... Can I trust you?

Dio turns his head the full way around, revealing his right eye is gone.

Dio: Yes.

Aya screams and runs of horrified.

Dio: Wait! No...

Aya runs back into her room avoiding the monsters in the hallway. As she locks her bedroom door and turns around to see a tall, thin shadowy man in a suit and hat standing in her room.

Aya: Ah! Who's that?

The man, Ogre, looks at the books in Aya's bookshelf

Ogre: Many interesting books in this room here... Do you like books, my dear?

Aya: Who are you?!

Ogre: Now, don't be so aggressive, I'm merely a salesman.

Aya: Salesman?

Ogre: Call me Ogre. I hope I get to know you, young lady...
    But it's quite troublesome... To think that corpses LOITER around the house...

Aya: Corpses...? Those monsters back there? They're like monsters from a story... Why would monsters like that?...

Ogre: Well, it's a curse. What you say we're the corpses of your father's test subjects. Overcome with anger, those deceased have been brought back by the power of a curse. To take revenge on your father... Of course.

Aya: What?! So father is in danger?...I have to save him!

Ogre: Why is that?
             To achieve his desires, he has killed so many people as part of his experiments. This is his retribution. You must have realised by now... Your Father's true nature... And yet you wish to save him?

Aya stares indecisively at Ogre before storming out of the room.

Ogre: My, my... Perhaps she cannot yet understand our sorrow...

It goes to Aya cautiously walking down her hallway outside her room.

Aya: Father was always kind to me. He's the only Father I have... And I promised Mum too. Mum, whatever happens, I love Father... So don't worry. I have to go save Father.

Aya continues to walk down the hallway into darkness.
