So! This is one of the scenes I had to remove from the story because Victoria wasn't in the scene, so it wouldn't make sense why she would have seen it to have it in the one shot. This was promptly named 'The Gravedigger Scene' by me and my friends. I hope you like!
The first gravedigger peered down at a freshly dug grave, shivering slightly in the cold downpour, turning slightly to the side as the second gravedigger approached.
"Look." The first gravedigger gestured to the muddy earth. "Someone's been robbing the graves."
The second gravedigger scowled. "It was probably those damn women! I told you they were rotten! Should I call the bobby?"
The first gravedigger shook his head. "Don't bother. With this rain, even if there was any evidence, it would be gone by the time they arrive."
They watched the grave for a moment, both scratching their heads.
"Look! They did such a bad job burying them back up," the second gravedigger pointed out. "Do they think our job is some sort of joke?"
"We never should have trusted those wretched women," the first gravedigger muttered.
They both retired to a rickety shack as the storm got worse, both soaked.
"You know, everyone is always 'Edward this' and 'Edward that', but no one ever has anything nice to say about the hole." The second gravedigger pointed to the grave. "Like our hard work is worth nothing."
"It is an honest job," the first gravedigger agreed. "Just yesterday, a woman came in claiming that she needed into her lover's grave," he paused dramatically, "because she forgot which one she buried."
They both chuckled.
"You know, most people would think that they would be driven to madness if they heard the same two jokes every day of their career, but I feel fine!" The second gravedigger laughed madly.
The first gravedigger joined in. "You know what would be really funny, if all of a sudden –"
Thunder clapped down hard, causing the two to jump several feet. They blinked, catching their breath from the scare. They adjusted their seats as the storm dissipated.
"Jesus!" the second gravedigger blurted. "I didn't realize how close that storm was getting!"
"Looks like it hit that same grave that got robbed," the first gravedigger noticed. "Guess it's not their lucky day."
"You mean lucky night?" the second gravedigger suggested sheepishly.
The first gravedigger laughed nervously. "Yeah…"
The tinkling of a bell caused them to look up.
"Did you hear that too?" the second gravedigger asked.
The bell rang again. The two gravediggers looked at each other for a minute before becoming frantic.
"Grab your shovel!" the first gravedigger shouted. "Quick!"
The gravediggers rushed over to the grave and began digging as the bell continued to ring. Slowly, a hand emerged from the dirt and the gravediggers attempted to pull it out.
"Come on!" the second gravedigger cried. "I got ya!"
"Almost there!" the first gravedigger grunted. "Come on!"
They grabbed the hand and pulled out a large figure, slumping back in exhaustion and staring at the person they had just saved who was on their hands and knees on the ground.
"Sir!" the second gravedigger panted. "Do you need any help?"
"What happened?!" the first gravedigger demanded.
The figure grunted, looking up at the gravediggers. They took a step back as they realized the body was hideous and not a real human. They slowly started to walk backwards. The creature grunted again and reached out toward the gravediggers, moving closer to them but having trouble getting up.
"Stay back!" the second gravedigger warned, jumping back in fear.
"Don't come any closer!" the first gravedigger added.
The creature continued crawling in the direction of the gravediggers and grunting. Both gravediggers ran away and the strange amalgamation scrambled after them.
Home… home… home… home… home!
Sorry about repeating the first/second gravedigger so much, but they don't have names and I didn't want to give them names so... we have this. There is one more deleted scene with Ingrid's death and that's it! Let me know what you think, guys!
