Hannah and Jerome 2 - End of the Darkness (English Version)

Orphan Children

"Will our guest arrive soon?"

Hannah is cutting vegetables in the kitchen when Jerome sneaks up behind her. He gently puts his hands on her hips and puts his chin on her shoulder. Hannah starts to giggle and puts down the knife.

"I hope so.", she laughs.

Satisfied, he leaves the kitchen again and Hannah continues to snip. A few minutes later it rings at the door. Hannah wipes her hands on a dishcloth and opens. In front of her, is her mother overjoyed with a large suitcase.

"Hi honey, I missed you so much.", she says to Hannah.

She hugs Hannah as hard as she can and annoyed she tries to get out of her grasp.

"Yes it's ok again.", Hannah grunts.

"It smells so good after food here. When did you move? The last time you lived in another apartment as I picked up the pets. Are you already done cooking? I'll help you fast then it tastes much better. Where should I turn my stuff? And where is my bed?"

"Yes, stay calm. Don't be so stressful again.", Hannah replies to her mother's gossip.

Both go to the kitchen, the stove is on the pot.

"Oh Hannah, it's so messy here. You are 19 years old and you still can't keep your flat clean."

Hannah's mother screams at the filthy sink with some silverware, three plates and two glasses. Hannah rolls her eyes, but says nothing. She does not want to start fighting again right now.

"So let's cook on, I'm hungry! It's nice to have visit again, now that I'm living alone again."

"Yes it's alright, I know it and I'll stay in Gotham anyway. Then just look for a new boyfriend but leave me alone.", she breathes.

Hannah's mother starts rinsing off immediately, although right next to her is the dishwasher. Annoyed, Hannah cuts tomatoes. Furious, she looks at the big knife, then looks behind her mother. Hannah goes into attack position but then she puts the knife to her in the sink. She wipes her face nervously and leaves the kitchen for a moment. Immediately her mother follows her to ask her why Hannah is leaving. But that does not happen. Hannah is standing in the living room and next to her Jerome. Her mother enters the room and freezes.

"Hello? Who are you? Hannah who is that ???"

Jerome looks at her coldly but says nothing.

"Wait, I know you. You are this sick psychopath from the TV. I call the police immediately."

"No, Mom, you won't.", Hannah says softly.

Confused, she looks at Hannah and slowly lowers her arm, holding her phone. Jerome goes to her and takes the phone from her hand.

"Thank you.", he says in a harsh voice to her.

"Hannah, what's going on here?", she asks frightened.

Hannah takes a deep breath and says:

"You finally get what you deserve."

"What do I deserve? Hannah what's up?"

"Let me talk damn it!", Hannah yells at her mother.

"You still don't understand what you did to me as a kid, did you? Or you just don't want to understand it? I finally finish this. I hate you so much.", Hannah says icily.

"I am your mother!", she yells back with glassy eyes.

"A horrible mother."

Jerome holds a revolver in his hand he gives Hannah. She takes it and hones it. Then she raises her arm and aims at her head.

"See you in hell, mother.", she says in conclusion, before she pulls back.

A loud bang sounds and her mother flies dead. The bullet has pierced her entire head. Hannah looks at her angrily, she takes a deep breath and slowly lowers her arm again. Jerome looks at her proudly.

"I knew you could do it, I'm so proud of you!"

He hugs her tightly and Hannah's angry face slowly turns into a contented grin.
