Scene 2: Freedom And Tears
{Finally free, Marty wanders around just absorbing the night. If he could take a deep breath, he would. He walked down the street looking at the homes peaking through the trees, wondering what kind of people lived in them. After walking awhile he made his way to a park. The park as small but nice. It had a lake, benches, and a playground. Now Marty, being a big kid at heart, could not resist the urge to play. First, he climbed the jungle gym, then he hung upside down off the monkey bars. He jumped on the teeter- totter, standing in the middle of it he teetered back and forth. That's when he saw the swings.
He jumped off and made his way over to them. He looked at them and smile, he got on and started swinging. As he swung back and forth he started singing. Very sweetly he sang "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean", while looking up at the stars remembering how his mother used to sing it to him when he was a child.
Marty- My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea, my Bonnie lies over the ocean, oh bring back my Bonnie to me. Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me. Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
{As he finishes his song he here's a scream that brings him back to earth. He looks around and sees in the distance, two figures. One backing away from the other who is holding a gun. Marty gets up, and at just that moment the gun goes off. The shooter runs as the victim falls to the ground. Marty stands there stunned not sure if he should go over or not. He does. He walks over to find a man, the gun shot wound on the back of his head and his back are bleeding.. The man is curled up on the ground on his stomach, it almost look like he's clutching something. Marty thinks to himself that it's probably a duffel bag or something. He puts his fingers on the man's neck. No pulse. Dead. He rolls the man over and discovers that man is clutching on to another person. A little girl, no more that three years old. Marty just gapes. The little girl is wearing pink overalls and a white shirt with ruffled selves, her blond hair in pigtails and on her feet are a pair of little Barbie sneakers. He then sees a red spot growing on her belly. Blood. He picks her up and holds her, he then notices that her chest in moving....}
Marty- (trembles) You...You're alive?
{The little girl's eyes open a bit. She looks up at Marty.}
Girl- (weakly) D..dad..dy? (gasps and chocks for air)
{It hit's Marty. This little girl is the daughter of the man. Her daddy shot, along with her.}
Marty- ( starts to cry) Oh my god. I...I...I'm not....
Girl- (rests her head on his arm) Daddy?
Marty- Wh..what's your name?
Bonnie- (coughs) B..B..Bonni....
Marty- Bonnie? Your name is Bonnie?
Bonnie- (nods) My tummy hurts. (she starts to fade.)
{Marty just looks at the little girl in his arms. "She's dying" he thought, "She going to die....". He cry's, not sure of what he's suppose to do. The thought of her dying in his arms, slowly breaking his unbeating heart. Then the only thing he can do hits him. He looks at her neck and rubs it with his thumb.}
Marty- (fighting back tears) I can't let you die.....
{He leans toward her neck and kisses it, he then bites. She lets out a cry. He stops and makes a small cut on his wrist. He brings her up to him and feeds her his blood. As she drinks he holds her up to his chest hugging her, rocking her back and forth. When it's all over he picks her and cradles her in his arms as he walks away. She nuzzles him as she sleeps. He looks at her pale little face. She opens her eyes a bit and looks at him.}
Bonnie- Daddy?
Marty- (half smiles) Yeah. I guess you are my baby now.(he looks into her little blue eyes) My Bonnie.......
{He holds her tightly as he makes his way back to Mansbridge.}
