HOUSE OF SECRETS

Chapter 2

Victor goes to the safe and unlocks it, and Annika sees the correct code. Victor takes out the relic but also another one that is identical.
"Why are there 2?" Victor talks to himself. "There's only supposed to be one."
The phone starts ringing.
Victor picks up. "Hello? What?! Hiding in the audience?! We have to kill the target. For good this time."
Victor gets up and puts the relics back in the safe, then leaves.
Annika goes to the safe and puts in the correct code.
The safe opens and she quickly takes the relics and runs out.

On stage, Mark and Savanna perform.
"Oh no! Here comes Hades!" Savanna shouts.
Elayna comes onto the stage,"Bow down to me, peasants!"
Mark and Savanna bow down.
Elayna takes out a sword and stabs them with it.
Mark and Savanna pretend to die.
Jamal enters,"Is it done?"
"Yes," Elayna grins,"Now we need to find out what Sarah knows. So we can finally have... The Elixir of Life."
Jamal and Elayna go backstage and go to Danya.
Jason comes to Jamal, Danya and Elayna.
"Where's Annika?!" He shouts.
"We don't know!" Elayna defends.
"This is totally unprofessional!" He yells. "She's on in 1 minute!"
Annika dashes in. "I'm here!"
"Finally!" Jason goes to the curtains.
"Did you get the relics?!" Danya asks.
"Yes, but Victor's going to eliminate someone in the audience tonight!" Annika says.
"He must mean Sami!" Jamal says. "He's going to kill Sami tonight!"
Annika runs on stage and the curtains open.
"My parents!" She cries. "They're dead! This is all Victor's fault! I know it!"
She faces the audience. "My name is Sarah, I am seven years old.
The time has come, my story has been told.
My parent's trip has brought me only strife.
The House of Hades has forever changed my life........."
The curtains close.
They open again and the whole cast is on stage and they are bowing.
The audience applauds.
Sami stands and cheers, but doesn't notice as her hood falls off, revealing her face.
Victor shouts,"Sami!"
"Sami! Run!" Elayna yells.
Sami dashes out of the auditorium and Victor chases after her.
Elayna gets off of the stage.
"Elayna!" Jamal stops her.
"I have to go after her!" Elayna runs after Sami.
Rufus gets up and follows Elayna.
