Ira Satana Humana

Act 2 Scene 3

Act 2 Scene 3

Camera fades in to Ira’s room. Ira enters and suddenly Fell walks in behind her. She turns around to tell him to go back but he has taken on of the clothes off the floor and is holding it in his mouth to play with. Eric and his mother run in to catch Fell and stop when they see what he has is his mouth.

Eric’s Mom

"Oh no I’m sorry honey he just ran out the door after you and we couldn’t stop him! Here let me go get Danny he is good at getting that blasted dog to drop things. I hope that pretty shirt doesn’t get ruined!"

Ira

It’s fine if the shirt gets ruined! You guys needed to take him to the vet right? Is that why he escaped?

Fell is prancing around the room skillfully escaping everyone as they try to grab him.

Eric

"Yeah he always tries to run away when we try to take him to the vet. I hope he doesn’t eat that shirt it can’t be goo-"

Suddenly all eyes are on the mirror as it starts to swirl and shimmer. Fell drops the shirt and lies down with a whimper hiding his face behind his paws.

Ira

"Oh well that’s just perfect! Now that I don’t want it to happen it does! Perfect timing as always!"

Eric and his mom both give Ira a questioning look but quickly get distracted again as a black hole forms inside the mirror and the smell of something burning enters the room. Then with a boom Jezebeth and her husband Aeshma glide out of the mirror. Eric’s mom sits down hard on the floor and Eric stumbles back. Only Ira looks unsurprised. 

Aeshma

"Ira Satana Demonio where have you been young lady! How dare you run away from home!"

His voice is booming and too loud.

Ira

     "Don’t you mean Ira Satana Angelise?"

Aeshma

"No! You live in my castle you’re guarded by my gargoyles, you follow my rules and you use my name! No matter how much of a disappointment you are you are still to follow what I say! Don’t you ever say that blasted angel name again! Do you hear me!"

Jezebeth

"I think she gets it. Anyway stop making such a spectacle in front of the human’s their poor minds wont be able to handle it."

Aeshma

     "It’s fine we can just kill them after."

Ira

     "No, no you can’t, you won’t kill them."

Aeshma

"Says who? You? You can’t even stop a fly child. Don’t get concerted. Now come we are going back and you are to never see the Gray of Day again!"

He grabs her wrist and starts pulling her towards the mirror.

 Eric’s Mom

     "Wait! Don’t take her, she is just a child. What is going on here!"

Aeshma looks too confused to be angry at a human talking back to him. He drops her wrist and Ira turns to face them looking apologetic.

Ira

     "Sorry, I haven’t been telling you guys the truth…"

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

     "I’m half demon and half angel"

Aeshma makes a hissing sound. Jezebeth puts her hand on his sholder.

Jezebeth

     "Let us listen. Something good could come from this… we could use this family…"

Ira rolls her eyes

Ira

     "Yeah like your last plan worked out so well."

Jezebeth looks taken aback

"Anyway… here is the thing.  My mom here is the devil of lies and deceit and this guy is my… adoptive? Father the devil of wrath, both, are wrath devils and I was suppose to be one of the strongest devils of wrath around. Which, I suppose I would have been if my mom hadn’t cheated with an angel, the angel of wild animals to be exact. They only decided to keep me because they thought id grow up with strong powers and be able to kill angels with their own powers. They forgot to factor in that anything half angel and half devil is well… human. So basically I’m just a human girl with a strong connection to animals and am a great liar… wow that was hard to get out all at once."

Everyone is staring at Ira in disbelief. Eric breaks the silence

Eric

     "Okay… I actually think that makes sense… kind of."

Everyone is still frozen but then Eric’s mom speaks up.

Eric’s Mom

"Honey, we don’t care who you are or what your past is like. The point is that you’re Ira and as long as you stay Ira you will always be welcome in our house."

Aeshma

"Are you, you puny human, really suggesting that! You have the audacity to take this child. This worthless child!? Fine then! You look after her. She is worthless to me anyway. Just don’t come crying back to hell if things don’t work out!"

His voice still has that booming quality. Jezebeth just stands there and waits until Aeshma stomps back into the mirror and disappears.

Jezebeth

     "Don’t listen to him Ira. You are always welcome in my castle."

Ira stares at her mother in disbelief.

Ira

"After all that just happened, you’re just going to stand there and lie to me!? Saying oh you’re always welcome in the home that never welcomed me before now? You might be my mother but even I know you hate me!"

Jezebeth

"I didn’t lie. And perhaps now it is time to own up to my biggest lie: I’ll always love you. When you were younger I already figured out that you would be human. It is the natural course of life. I lied to your father so that he would agree to keep you and love you. I’m sorry for all of the pain we have caused you. You are always welcome back home when or if you ever get tired with this world. Here."

Jezebeth holds out her hand to Ira. She has something clasped in it. Ira reaches out to take it and a necklace drops into her hand. The necklace pendant is a mirror.

"You can always find your way home with that. The portal will never close. Goodbye. Maybe I’ll come to visit."

With that she steps into the mirror and disappears. The room lightens and everyone blinks as if coming out of a trance.

Eric’s Mom

     "Well maybe we should all go to bed early tonight… Come on honey."

She says to Ira

     "You can sleep in our hotel room tonight."

All three nod their heads and silently walk out of the room. Camera waits till everyone exists and the room goes dark then it fades away to end credits.
