Scene 3 : The Initiation The North Tower (A bubbling cauldron CS and spotlight on cauldron and rest of stage only dimly lit. Elyse is stirring the cauldron and Hannah enters SR and goes to join Elyse.)
Elyse : Where is she? You did tell her to meet us didn't you?
Hannah : She'll be here soon. I have every confidence she won't defy us and if she does.
(The girls exchange evil looks. The girls then look back to the steaming cauldron in the centre of the stage. Elyse stirs it clockwise three times)
Hannah : It looks almost ready now. She had better not be long or it will start to get too hot. I really wanted her to be here before we get started.
Elyse : Well I think we can only give her another 5 minutes and if she isn't here by then we shall have to start preparing the potion. We can't afford to start this all again. It's too important.
Hannah : I know. She has 5 minutes.
(Hannah look sat her watch and she stands beside the cauldron. Elyse stands SL of the cauldron watching it for any sign of change. Lights fade on the girls and the come up SR to see Rose walking up the corridor. She pauses at the door, brings her hand up to knock, pauses and then timidly knocks on the door.)
Elyse : Finally she's here!
(Hannah walks over to the door and opens it. Rose walks in slowly and stays quietly beside the door.)
Elyse : Come over here.
(Rose slowly walks over to stand between Hannah and Elyse. She looks down into the bubbling cauldron.)
Elyse : You see that potion? It will link you to us and will help you to harness your inner power. It's very complex and we have had to carefully prepare it so you had BETTER not mess this up.
Hannah : (stirring the potion) It only needs a few more things and we have all of them right here.
(Rose looks around for the supposed ingredients.)
Elyse : No,no. you won't find them like that. All this potion needs is something unique to each one of us to link us all together.
Hannah : Yes, all it needs is a little something form us. Not much though.
(Elyse puts her arm over the cauldron and takes out a small penknife and makes a small cut.)
Elyse : Now I have contributed it's your turn.
(Elyse pulls Rose's arm over the cauldron. Rose's body tenses. Elyse makes a small cut and Rose breathes heavily trying to hold back screams.)
Hannah : That wasn't so bad. Now I make my addition and we're about finished.
(Hannah holds her arm over the cauldron and repeats the action/ Elyse stirs the potion a few more times before getting 3 small glasses/vials and puts potion into each one and hands them to everyone.)
Elyse : To the Gods! (she drinks)
Hannah : The gods! (she drinks)
Rose : .the.gods (she drinks)
(pause)
Hannah : Now we are nearly finished. We need to mark you to be sure you are loyal to us. It isn't much.
(Rose looks confused)
Elyse : Let me explain. (she pulls up her sleeve)This mark is merely a sign. A way of joining us together as (lights begin to fade) a true cult. (Lights out and lights up SL on Naomi walking on) it will also help you to (Naomi walks past) concentrate on(Naomi stops to listen at the door looking around before crouching at the door to listen) your inner power and it is also in the shape of the sign of Creevin, the God of Power.
Hannah : Come on Elyse, we don't need the whole biological explanation. Elyse : Ok but DON'T rush me. Rose hold out your arm.
(Naomi opens the door and peeks around the door. As she does there is a pouf of smoke and strobe light. Lights up.)
Elyse : Inner Power hear my voice and awaken, Show Rose the true way and help her to harness her power. We beg to the God Creevin to help to show her the way and to awaken the lust for power inside her.
(Rose crumples to the floor as Elyse holds her arm and inspects the mark. Naomi shuts the door, looks around and runs off)
Hannah : Now Rose you are part of us and you can not escape. I expect you to prove yourself loyal before long but for now you can adjust to the new situation.
Elyse : We will meet again very soon.
(Hannah and Elyse walk out of the door and down the corridor leaving Rose in a heap next to the cauldron.)
