Hocus Pocus 2 [REDRAFT]

Act VIII: Voodoo Ahead

External: THE WOODS, 2022 - Salem, Massachusetts

Izzy is sprint walking, moving far away from the woods as she possibly could. Meanwhile, Becca is in the background, trying to catch up.

BECCA

Izzy, wait! We can talk this out!

Becca ran up to her.

IZZY

No! If it wasn't for the stupid "Flamed Candle", none of this wouldn't happen. Plus, my brother wouldn't even sleep in the top bunk!

BECCA

Look, I understand that you're really upset right now. But, what we can do is let mom and dad know about this-

IZZY

I can't believe it... do you know what your problem is?

BECCA

Oh great, another one of your "moral lessons"...

Becca sarcastically rolls her eyes with annoyance.

IZZY

No. It's not that. It's that you can't tell them anything, especially what happened! I told you exactly what I feel and what do you do? Ignore me!

BECCA

Well, it's not my fault that you want to light the candle as much as I do!

IZZY

You're the one pressuring me to! "Oh yeah, let's just light it somewhere."

Izzy mocks Becca with her voice.

IZZY

I mean, we could've got hurt!

BECCA

Well, I'm "sorry" for trying to have fun, unlike you. All you ever do is complain!

IZZY

...It's over Cassie, isn't it?

Becca froze in pure silence.

BECCA

W-What? No! N-Not at all!

Becca lied but Izzy can tell as she makes a fake chuckle in response, shaking her head.

IZZY

Unbelievable...

BECCA

Izz... you have to understand-

IZZY

Understand? What is it to "understand", Becca?! Cassie lied to us! She's not our friend anymore!

Becca remains silent after that. Although their argument quiet down, Cobweb noticed someone. Someone that's standing at the sidewalk with a briefcase. He turned his head to see if there's no cars around. It turns out to be no other than Gilbert. Cobweb meows as Izzy and Becca take notice.
