Scene 3;
(just as Ariana reaches for the backdoor handle, something grabs her shirt and pulls hard on the neckline, choking her to a stop.)
Ariana: AHH....*choke noise, cough*...why do you hate us so much? Why do you want revenge so bad?
Suzy: Ever since I was born, I've never been loved. And you'll see what it feels like now, to know that no one cares. Look, even your stupid bitchy little friend doesn't care enough to come save you. Isn't that sad? Oh, Boo-Hoo.
Ariana: Adrienne cares about me! More than anyone! She's my best friend, and she'll come and save me.... ADRE!!!!! HELP !!!!!!
Suzy: There's no use in screaming. It'll just tire out your little pretty singing lungs of yours.....hahahahah (laughs maniacally)
Ariana: No. What are you going to do with me? Where are you taking me?
Suzy: You'll see.
(As they walk out the door, Ariana doesn't hear Adrienne scream her name, and yell for her. For Suzy had done something with Adrienne, something very bad, and things were only going to get worse.)
MEANWHILE****
Adrienne: Cassi? are you there?
Cassi: (In demonic voice that Adrienne recognizes as part of her sister.) Im here, Adrienne, why so scared?
Adrienne: What has she done to you, Little sister? (starts to weep as Cassi starts coming at her with knife in hand, and blazing black and red eyes. Still bleeding, and now covered with her blood, and dirt from the cold basement floor.)
Cassi(as demon): Cassi is no longer with us, and soon you won't be either. (comes up behind a crying Adrienne and ties her to the bed stained with Cassi's blood.
Adrienne: HELP!!!!!!! ARIANA!!!! HELP ME!!!!! PLEASE OH GOD HELP ME!!! (weeping) Why Cassie? Why did it have to be her?
Cassi(as demon): Shut up-(knocks her out with a metal bar that was nearby)-There, my work is done master, i have served you to the fullest.
*******
Ariana: Suzy? Why are we going there? It's so old it might cave in....
Suzy: Thats my old house. The one I used to live in.....with my mother, and my daddy. But your stupid friend Adrienne's mom screwed up everything. Adrienne doesn't deserve to have friends. I DO!
Ariana: Someones a little selfish (stops abruptly)...and Adrienne's mom was nice, what did she do so wrong anyways. THATS MY AUNT YOUR TALKING ABOUT! She would have never do ANYTHING to hurt another living soul.
Suzy: Oh, but she did. She was 3 years older than me. She used to be a sad girl, very disturbed-
Ariana:Like you? (Ariana instantly clasps her mouth)
Suzy:YES LIKE ME SO SHUT YOUR TRAP OR ILL CUT YOUR THROAT!(pulls out knife and slowly puts it away) Anyways- she was a dreary little kid, and she liked to drink heavily. It was my birthday, and we went out to celebrate, and all of the sudden, i was knocked out. She plowed into the side of our mini-van of me and my parents. They both died. I escaped the car wreckage and twisted metal before anyone could see me. I lived the rest of my life out here. I died in this very house. No one has been so bold as to even tear it down. So for 20 years, my body has been up in that attic. Hanging from the rope that i used to kill myself with when I was-and still am- only 14. I have possessed this doll, this once beautiful, porcelain doll, to have everlasting life here on earth to avenge my parents, and kill her, and all of her spawns of evil. (Has a melancholy look stretching across her face)
Ariana: I'm so not going in there now. (Immediately clasps her mouth shut)
Suzy: Are you sure, i have two more ropes, and you are your little friend would look lovely hanging next to me.
Ariana: NO, NOOO!! Adrienne!!!!! Help!!!!
(Suzy grabs Arianas hand and drags her inside only to lock her in the rickety old basement.)
Suzy: And now for that other selfish little bitch. (With Ariana still screaming in the background)
(Suzy leaves Ariana in the dark, alone, basement where she screams ear-piercingly loud.)
