"Halloween Wakes"
ACT 1
Pete and Clark are walking passed a group of people at the high school who are talking about the Halloween party that Brad is having, Missy jumps in front of them.
Missy So Pete your coming to Brad's party tonight, right?
There is a pause as Pete looks at Clark, Clark raises a brow
Pete You bet we'll be there
Missy Great, remember you have to get dressed up, or
you'll not get in, so see you tonight
Clark starts walking ahead, not really fond of the idea
Pete Your coming right?
Clark I don't know Pete, Brad? Halloween, how much fun can
it be?
Pete Very, it's Halloween, anything can happen and
besides Missy asked me and did you happen to notice just how
cute she is?
Lana and Chloe walk up to Pete and Clark
Chloe Happy spooks! ( in a suggestive way ) So we all
going to Brad's party
Pete Yeah, we are and I'd better get going, have to find
a costume, so we'll pick you guys up at around 9ish
Lana That would be great, well I better go and find a
costume myself
Pete and Lana leave. Chloe and Clark make their way to the computer room
Chloe So Clark you don't look too impressed with the whole
Halloween party thing, are you?
Clark Halloween don't know if it's my thing anymore, I' am
not a kid anymore and besides how much fun do you think this
will be?
Chloe What are you kidding ? Stop thinking about it, just
go and have fun you still remember how to have fun?
Clark ( sarcastically ) yes
Chloe Good, any ideas of what to be?
Clark I' don't know, a super hero, a villain ( gives a
giggle )
Chloe well let's look up some Halloween stuff for ideas
Clark Your really into this Halloween ?
Chloe Oh God yeah, all the spooks, ghost stories,
hunting's , witch craft, black magic all that fun stuff, I could

Clark Yep, and that's my cue, to get going, so I'll see
you tonight, bye.
costumes as follows:
Clark -gangster/ mobster
Chloe - medieval women
Pete - wolfman
Lana - pumpkin
They make their way to Brad's house - They wonder around a bit. Brad, Missy and Jill approach them
Brad So, having fun?
No one says nothing
Brad Well then, we're going to the cemetery, you guys
coming?
Lana Why you going there?
Missy To tell ghost stories ( she looks at Pete ) so come,
get into the Halloween spirit
Chloe I'll go
Clark Your going to hang out at the cemetery all night?
Missy Not all night, just for a bit
Lana Brad your going to leave your our party?
Brad Sure, look at them, every things set, they wont miss
me for a while.
Chloe Come on guys, it's a change of pace ( looks at Clark ) and you never know it, it could be fun and interesting
Pete Sure I'll go
Missy grabs Pete by the arm and they walk off. At the cemetery they arrive at a real tombstone which reads "Mary Lou 1608"
Brad Well here we are Mary Lou. She was our age, seemed
to be the perfect girl in town, obeyed her parents and was
learning how to read, but in the dark of night she would run off
and come to this exact spot and would practice spells. She hid
her magic well, then it started to over take her and the spells
got bigger and better, BLACK MAGIC. The towns people found out
and some of them hunted her down, she was tortured until she
finally confessed that she was a witch. They hung her in the
town square to warn all as to what would happen if anyone tried
to practice any form of witch craft. They left her hanging for 2
days, then came here to bury her. But little did they know just
how strong she was and that she perfected her black magic for
raising the dead and what she did here before they killed her,
and she knew it would happen,
she lite a black candle ( Brad lights a black candle as he is
saying it ) and chanted
I'll never rest
If not gone in peace
Those who harm will be haunted
With fresh blood I will be once again
Brad chants this 3 times and each time his voice gets firmer and louder
Then she sliced her left arm and let the blood soak into the
soil. Screams cried out for years as she rises on Halloween
terrorising and haunting the town, she is bounded to the town
and the cemetery. She walks not in peace, seeking revenge, even
to this day they say that you can hear the screams and her
walking, just listen carefully
They all are silent
Missy I' am glad that, that's not true
Brad Sure it is, think about it, wouldn't it explain
all the strange, freaky things that happen in Smallville?
Pete and Clark exchange a glance, just then they hear a noise, they fall silent
Jill We all heard that, some things out there
Just then a bunch of guys rush out at them, scaring them, Jill gets so scared that she ends up pushing Chloe, Chloe falls on top of the gravesite
Clark ( while helping her up ) we having fun yet?
Chloe notices that her left arm is cut and is bleeding. You see some of her blood drip onto the gravesite
Clark Your hurt! Where getting out of here this was stupid
Brad No it wasn't, it was fun ( they {Clark, Chloe, Pete
and Lana } start walking away ) it's Halloween, your just mad
coz your girlfriend got hurt.
They all leave now, the black candle is left burning on the gravesite, then you see Chloe's blood be sucked into the soil. The grave starts to move and out quickly floats just above the ground is Mary Lou
Mary Lou looks around, picks up the candle
Mary Lou Fresh blood I will be once again. And such
pure blood. Thank you Chloe together we will do such
wonders for this town, starting tonight
Mary Lou begins to chant
Mary Lou
The hand that rocks
Will be for the next 9 generations
Be curse by me
Let it begin
Mary Lou Now, wild ones come to me
Mary Lou takes off her necklace, which has a stone on it, kisses it and whips it to the ground, where it breaks in 2 at which point 2 cats ( one black the other grey/black )become from the stone.
Mary Lou Good, find the blood that awakes.
The cats run off in different directions. Mary Lou starts walking into the forest
Brad comes back for the candle and sees that it has moved and the ground has been disturbed, he goes to pick it up, when he stand up he sees the back side of someone "Mary Lou" walking into the forest, he runs off. The next day at school Brad tells Missy, which in turn she tells Pete and Clark.
Pete, Clark don't believe Missy and they walk off
ACT 2
The grey/black cat goes to Mary Lou, then the black one follows, meows a few times, she thanks it for the info, while on the ground she pushes the cats together and they once again become the stone, and replaces her necklace.
The next day, Chloe starts hearing voices while walking to the Talon
Mary Lou Chloe, Chloe, thank you for letting me be once
again. You and I will achieve much, soon we'll be one
While in the Talon Mary Lou appears to Chloe while she's studying, in ghost form
Mary Lou Chloe it's only a matter of time, prepare for
glory, beware of those who will harm you, we'll have to
take care of them
Chloe freaks out ( loudly , everyone in the Talon is staring at her )
Lana ( as Lana nears her ) Chloe are alright, you look
like you've see a ghost?
Chloe Yeah, I think I did
Lana What?
Chloe Nothing, I must be working too hard, I think I'm
seeing things, I'd better go home get some rest.
Lana Chloe why don't you stay here, relax I am closing up
earlier, I have to go and see Lex, He's gotta sign some
documents. So please stay have whatever you want, I won't be
long, I'll come back for you and we can go home together.
Chloe Thanks Lana, I really didn't want to be home alone.
Lana leaves and right outside the Talon's door is Mary Lou, just watching her
Mary Lou Time to have some fun and cause problems of
course.
Lana's at Lex's they being discussing the documents, Mary Lou is outside his window and sees his face as he turns away from Lana
Mary Lou It can't be ( pause ) Christopher my love
Mary Lou enters Lana
Mary Lou as Lana It's been such a
long time, I've forgotten how handsome you are,
it's good to see you again
Lex Excuse me, what are you talking about?
Mary Lou starts hitting on Lex, where he rejects her advances
Lex What about Clark? I thought you liked him?
Mary Lou as Lana Who ( in a serious
tone )
Lex Clark Kent! ( Mary Lou cuts him off )
Mary Lou as Lana I don't have
feelings for Clark, I have feeling for you and
I want you now!
Lex I don't know what's going on here, what game your playing?
But I don't like you that way, I' am with someone else, you and
I will never be.
Mary Lou as Lana This is not over,
I'll have you one way or another.
Mary Lou storms out of Lex's office, as she is in the hallway, Mary Lou exists Lana. Lana looks at the documents.
Lana Well that wasn't hard at all, I thought he'd put up
more of a fight.
Cut to Martha with Lionel, outside in the yard.
Martha fine I'll get right on it, I'll be back in a bit
Mary Lou crosses paths with Lionel, which in her mind resembles the priest that hung her ( so when Mary Lou sees him do a quick flash back in time where the priest is hanging her ). Mary Lou goes up to him, standing right in front of him in ghost form, Lionel can't see her at all.
Mary Lou So reverend we meet again and now it's on my
terms
Lionel hears Mary Lou talking to him as a whisper, he turn his head as if trying to listen more carefully
Mary Lou You'll suffer just like you made me suffer all
those years ago
Lionel Who's there, I can hear you, tell me who you are
Mary Lou begins to chant as she reaches for his heart
Mary Lou You'll let me enter
And take what I need
The source of you, will no longer be Your heart is mine for me to eat
While she's chanting Lionel is grabbing for his heart, feeling pain , Just then Martha walks towards Lionel
Martha Lionel
Mary Lou stops reaching for Lionel's heart
Martha Lionel , are you alright, you look a bit
pale
Lionel Martha are we alone?
Martha Yes, why?
Lionel No real reason , I thought I heard someone talking
to me
In the meantime Chloe wakes up at the Talon
Chloe Oh man, I can't believe that I feel asleep, Lana
still must be at Lex's I'd better get going, got things to do
Chloe writes Lana a note. While walking home, Mary Lou appears in front of her in the flesh
Chloe Oh my God, I'm actually seeing you now
Mary Lou Not God, the names Mary Lou and it's time Chloe
Chloe Time for what?
Mary Lou For you and I to be together, we have lots of
work to do, but first I have a surprise for you
Just then Mary Lou rushes towards Chloe, enters her body ( possessing her )
Mary Lou as Chloe Boy does it feel good to
be alive again, now it's time for your gift
They make there way to Clark's home
Clark Chloe what a surprise , what's going on?
Mary Lou as Chloe Sorry Clark, don't mean
to bother you
Clark Not at all
Mary Lou as Chloe Good, I was hoping we'd
go for a walk and talk
Clark Sure
They are walking along the edge of a forest.
Mary Lou as Chloe You know Clark there's
been something I should have told you long ago,
but I wasn't strong enough, but now I am the
new and improved Chloe, better then before
Clark ( looking at her a bit strangely ) what?
Mary Lou as Chloe You and I should be
together, I shouldn't have never told you after
the dance that we should be just friends,
I lied to you and to myself, ( Chloe gets
closer to Clark ) and besides you and Lana
really don't make a good couple, your too good
and pure for her, she'd break your heart, she's
playing you and will drop you the minute
someone better comes
Clark Chloe what are you saying, how can you talk about
Lana like that? She's not like that and besides we are just
friends
Mary Lou as Chloe Good, coz I see how she
is, remember she lives with me I see the guys
that come to the house, and today in the Talon
some guys came in and you should have seen the
way she was flirting with them, I've never see
her act like that before, as if she was ready
to get busy with them.
Clark Lana? Are you sure? It doesn't sound like her
Mary Lou as Chloe I am telling you, the
truth and besides you and I'd be so out of this
world together
( she is very close to his face, their lips
almost meeting, at this point she is becoming
very sexual and seductive towards Clark )we'd
be so passionate together and we'd have the
most wild sex even beyond your hottest
fantasies
Chloe kisses him and it's a hot kiss, he pulls away then goes to kiss her, then pulls away after a minute
Clark Oh Chloe, I've never seen you so aggressive before
Mary Lou as Chloe Coz I' am truly going
after what I want and I want you and I know
that you want me to, I can see the fire
stirring in your eyes.
Clark My eyes?
Mary Lou as Chloe Yes, I can see your eyes
are ready to explode with fire for me
Clark I don't know what your talking about, Chloe I do
like you, but this is going way too fast and the three of us
agreed that we are just going to be friends
Mary Lou as Chloe (she is getting mad with him at this
point ) friends, just friends, I don't think so and I can see it now you'll try to be closer with Lana , but it will never happen, I can see it in the future and plus I will not let it happen
Clark You can't stop what might be for Lana and me!
At this point Mary Lou is pissed off
Mary Lou as Chloe ( the whole time Chloe
as Mary Lou is saying this you see Mary Lou's
face superimposed with Chloe's face ) You've
under estimated us and our powers. You are fair
warned, stay out of my way, I don't want to
hurt you, but I will if you push me too far and
get in my way
Clark Chloe
Chloe & Mary Lou (see Chloe' s face ) Not
completely any more ( Mary Lou's face) Back
off, I'll leave you alone for now she loves
you. Besides I'll show you that I'm not lying
about Lana and then you'll for sure be with
Chloe.
Mary Lou gets very close to Clark and stares deep into his eyes, where Clark sees Lana hitting on Lex and when it's over Clark opens his eyes and he is in bed, he can't make heads or tails out of what happened, was it a dream? but felt so real.
Clark goes to find Pete, he's outside that Talon with Lana
Clark Sorry to interrupt, Pete I need to talk to you
Pete sure, what up?
Clark Alone
Lana Well hello to you too
Clark Sorry Lana, Pete PLEASE
They walk off together
Pete Clark what's wrong with you, that was pretty rude
Clark Yeah I know, she'll be fine, this is important
Clark proceeds to tell Pete what happened
Pete Wow, Chloe, I don't know what to make of it
Clark I don't know she's the one who usually helps us
figure things like this out.
ACT 3
They are still talking about Chloe, just then Chloe approaches them
Chloe hey guys how's it going?
They are staring at her not knowing what to make of it
Pete Fine
Clark You still mad with me?
Chloe Mad?, why would you think that I'm mad with you?
Clark Well because of our conversation earlier
Chloe I never sow you earlier Clark, you must be thinking
of someone else. Any ways I came over to tell you that even
though I was mad with Brad,
I liked the witch story he told so I looked it up on my computer
and believe it or not Brad actually had most of the story right,
it was quite interesting, I (in mid sentence she cuts herself
off, Mary Lou has entered her once again )
Mary Lou as Chloe I've gotta go and take
care of something, Later boys ( starts walking
away )
Clark Who, where are you going?
Mary Lou as Chloe Chloe doesn't have time
for you right now, I need her ( she walks away
and disappears right in front of them )
Pete You were not joking, she definitely is not herself
In the meantime, Pete and Clark go and find the info that Chloe pulled up on her computer. They come to the conclusion that Mary Lou is real and is possessing Chloe. Clark goes looking for Chloe
Mary Lou / Chloe are at the cemetery.
Mary Lou I've been pushed far enough, I lost track
of everything that I wanted to accomplish, No more time to
focus
Mary Lou begins to chant
Mary Lou Darkness lay, as quickly as you may For all to walk in dismay When your complete, without delay Please bring me my prey
Clark shows up
Clark Chloe
Mary Lou She's gone, what are you doing here
Clark I want to help you
Mary Lou Of course you do, you always want to help, but
there's nothing for you to do here, don't need you help,
just needed you and you turned Chloe down and Christopher
rejected me ( Mary Lou's face ) it's wasn't very nice she
really likes you ( she blows some powder in his face )
He sneezes it has no effect on him
Mary Lou Impossible how can you not be affected,
you should be walking in dismay and from the powder you
should be falling at my feet, what are you
Clark A guy that wants my Chloe back
Mary Lou She doesn't need you, she has me and I will
never leave her, you've bothered me long enough
Mary Lou begins to chant
Mary Lou As the wind blows You'll fly away Far from here No longer in my way Long gone you'll be As you fly far from me
She blows at him and Clark flies away
ACT 4
Chloe gets too far gone, even Mary Lou is getting out of control
Like zombies, Lionel, Lana and Pete walk up to Mary Lou as Chloe. She gets them all ready to be "burned at the steak "
Mary Lou Well, father I' m sorry that you can't see as
you burn, but I 'll change that for you, it wouldn't be
fair if you couldn't
Mary Lou goes up to Lionel takes off his glasses and kisses his eyes. In Lionel's view you see a almost clear blur
In the meantime , Clark falls to the ground, outside of Smallville a bit dazes, he gets up and speed runs back. Back in Smallville Clark notices that everyone is walking around aimlessly. Clark goes to Chloe's computer, calls Lex
Clark Lex where are you?
Lex I'm just landing in Smallville, I was out of town on some
business
Clark proceeds to tell him what's going on and that they need to find a spell that will be rid of Mary Lou.
Lex Listen Clark, I know that this really isn't the best time,
but something happened earlier today and it's been eating away
at me. I have to tell you ( Lex proceeds to tell Clark what
happened with Lana )
Lex goes to work on his computer and Clark on Chloe's. Lex finds a way to get rid of Mary Lou and Clark finds a spell to separate the two of them. They will meet in the deep of the woods which back then was the town square.
Clark speed runs to the woods and finds Mary Lou as Chloe.
Clark Let her go Mary Lou
Mary Lou How do you know and how did you get here? What
the hell are you?
Clark I know everything that happened to you
Mary Lou Then you understand why and what I must do
Clark No, I don't and I can't allow you to continue, you
can't hurt my friends
Mary Lou Friends, you calls these people you friends,
they killed me and each has a hidden agenda with you,
they're not you true friends, I can see it in the future
Clark Regardless of what they will do in the future, I
need them now, and I want Chloe back
Mary Lou Why? So you can hurt her some more?
Clark I wont hurt her I'll never hurt her
Mary Lou What ever, this is gone for enough, be gone
with you
Mary Lou waves him away, but Clark does not move
Mary Lou What are you? Why does my magic have no real
affect on you? ( with a smile on her face ) what form of
craft do you practice? Coz your strong
Clark begins to chant
Clark Be gone from the good soul Leave and never return I bind you to your grave Your souls will separate forever Never to meet again
The whole time Clark is chanting, Mary Lou is fighting Clark by chanting and not in English.
As Lex arrives Mary Lou is floating 2 feet above the ground, she is in a grey light, which when it goes out, Chloe's body falls to the ground and Mary Lou is just a ghost once again. Clark goes to help Chloe but she is pretty much out cold. In the meantime Mary Lou lights the wood, setting them on fire
Lex beings to chant
Lex I tell you to leave Your hate seeds are not welcomed We are much stronger then you You will not win this battle This will keep you away forever It's time for you to go Forever rest in peace Never to return, be free, be gone
Mary Lou is frozen in her spot, but only chants back, at which point she beings to fade into her grave. Once she is gone all her spells are broken, except on Chloe, she is still out, but you don't see this, in Chloe's mind it's not over, she see it like this.
The next day Chloe goes to Mary Lou's grave site and talks to her
Chloe (with tears in her eyes) I so sorry Mary Lou, I
know how it felt I could feel it from you, sorry to say it but
I'm glad that it did not happen to me
Just then Mary Lou comes popping out of her grave , grabs Chloe
Mary Lou ( as Mary Lou is grabbing for Chloe ) But it is
going to happen to you, I will bring you back with me.
Just then Chloe wakes up, screaming
Clark Chloe it's okay it's all over with
Everyone is standing over her, still at the cemetery.
Chloe It's not over she'll come back for me.
