"Ismene! You know that we have suffered enough in the past few years. Have you heard the announcement from Creon?" Antigone asks.

"I haven't heard anything. I know that we have lost our two brothers in a gang shooting, but that is all I know." Ismene replies.

"I thought so. There is something we need to do." Antigone tells her sister.

"What is that?" Ismene asks.

"Listen, Creon has already taken Eteocles' body to the evidence room in the police station. But Polyneices, I have his body. It is in the basement. I need to sacrifice his body to Satan who may be able to revive him. I need your help in citing the prayers. Will you help me?" Antigone explains.

"Antigone! Are you insane? What could I possibly do?" Ismene asks bewildered.

"You have to help me contact Satan. He may be able to bring Polyneices back to life! It is your choice if you want to leave him to the grave or bring him back." Antigone demands.

"How could you possibly think this is okay? We would go to jail for messing with evidence! We are the only ones left in this family, and you want to risk it all?" Ismene says.

"If that's what you think, I do not need your help. You made that choice in betraying your brother." Antigone replies.

"Think of what you are going to do Antigone! I don't want to make you or Satan angry but I cannot do it. And I certainly do not want to be arrested by Creon either." Ismene says.

"Go away, Ismene. The dead and I will hate you. I will die with honor if I succeed in my plan," Antigone angrily stomps away.
