CUT TO: MANSION
EXT. MANSION- NIGHT
ONCE INSIDE OF THE MANSION, SHADE AND TAMI FIND THE PAINTING. DESDEMONA SNEAKS IN BEHIND THEM AND TAKES POSSESSION OF TAMI'S BODY. DESDEMONA SNEAKS OUT OF THE ROOM AND SHADE TAKES OUT WHAT THEY NEED TO DESTROY THE PORTRAIT PROPERLY.
[Shade]
I've got everything that we need to take out the ghost. Let's get this over with. Tami?
SHADE TURNS AROUND TO FIND THAT TAMI IS GONE OUT OF THE ROOM.
[Shade]
Tami? Where did you go?
SHADE STARTS OUT OF THE ROOM BUT STOPS.
[Shade]
(Thinking)
How many everyday girls do I know who could leave a room in complete silence in an old raggedy house like this? Something isn't right.
SHADE MAKES A SHADOW CLONE AND SIGNALS FOR IT TO WALK DOWNSTAIRS. SHADE SINKS INTO THE FLOOR AND SCALES THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE LOOKING FOR TAMI. SHADE FINDS TAMI IS WAITING BY THE THRESHOLD WITH THE LEG OF A CHAIR THAT SHE BROKE OFF. SHADE WATCHES AS THE SHADOW CLONE COMES ACROSS THE THRESHOLD AND TAMI HITS THE SHADOW CLONE OVER THE HEAD DESTROYING IT. WHEN TAMI SEES THE SHADOW CLONE IS A STAND-IN FOR SHADE SHE LOOKS AROUND THE HOUSE.
[Desdemona]
Alright, Shade, this is your one and only warning! I want you to come out and give yourself up!
DESDEMONA PUTS THE LEG OF THE CHAIR UP TO TAMI'S THROAT WHERE A RUSTY NAIL IS.
[Desdemona]
Give yourself up or I'll kill the girl!
SHADE SCALES THE WALL BEHIND DESDEMONA AND JUMPS OFF GRABBING HER.
[Desdemona]
Why you!
[Shade]
So, you possessed Tami huh? Let her go!
[Desdemona]
Now why in the world would I do something like that when there's so much fun to be had?
DESDEMONA GRABS SOME DUST AND DIRT AND THROWS IT INTO SHADE'S EYE. AS SHADE REELS BACK IN PAIN, DESDEMONA PUNCHES HIM INTO A WALL AND BREAKS TAMI'S HAND IN THE PROCESS.
[Desdemona]
Whoops, guess I don't know my own strength.
DESDEMONA RUNS OFF. SHADE GETS TO HIS FEET, RUBS HIS EYES AND THEN LOOKS AROUND TO SEE THAT DESDEMONA IS GONE. SHADE BEGINS TO LOOK AROUND FOR HER HEARING HER RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE.
[Desdemona]
(Hidden away)
I'm sure that she's told you everything. She's probably given you some kind of sob story about how she's riddled with guilt and how she wishes she could change the past but she can't.
[Shade]
Something like that.
[Desdemona]
(Hidden away)
You can't honestly tell me that you believe that drivel! If she was so sorry she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
[Shade]
Maybe it wasn't right but this was your sister. She wasn't just some random stranger that played with your life. She wanted to help you. If you didn't have your head so far up your ass you'd see that.
