Scene 4 : The new Recruit The Common Room
(Elyse and Hannah are sat in the common room talking)
Hannah : Yes, I think everything went very well and no set backs.
Elyse :. We should find another target soon to boost our ranks.
Hannah : I don't think that any of the teachers know yet and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't think that we would be able to initiate any of them just yet.
Elyse : I agree totally.
(Naomi walks in and shyly looks at the girls and crosses to the other side of the room to sit at a small table. She takes out a diary and starts to write)
Elyse : (whispers) Hannah?
Hannah : Yes?
Elyse : What about her? She's a bit of a loner and it looks like we could get to her quite easily.
Hannah : Yeah I've seen her around and she doesn't seem to have many close friends but I think we should probably do a little more research first.
Elyse : No I think she is a perfect target and I think the sooner we get more students onto our side the better. Our lord will be pleased.
Hannah : OK but I still say we be weary of her,
Elyse : All right
(The girls get up and go either side if Naomi. Elyse sits on the small table and Hannah stands directly behind her.)
Naomi : (cautiously) Hello? Can I help you?
Elyse : It's not so much you helping us but more of us helping you. Naomi : And how would that be?
Hannah : Well you see we have a very promising.offer for you.
Naomi : What.type of offer?
Elyse : One that shall benefit you greatly.
Hannah : It just needs a little co-operation.
Naomi : That doesn't sound too bad.
Elyse : I take it you have heard of Black Magic.
Naomi : (after a small gasp) .yes
Hannah : And therefore I take you know of its great power.
Naomi : I have heard it is very powerful.
Elyse : It is and we can use that power in any way we choose.
Hannah : Whether it be to your advantage or your disadvantage.
Elyse : Of course there are ways to ensure it is to your advantage.
Naomi : You're.you're into the black arts? And what do you mean to my advantage or disadvantage?
Hannah : Yes and we would never harm those on the same side as us.
Elyse : And we can protect you in many ways
Naomi : you're. You're.inviting me to join the black arts? But why?
Hannah : It's not so much inviting.
Elyse : But to be honest we need supporters. People seem to have a certain.prejudice when it comes to Black Magic.
Hannah : And so we decided to.inform.people about the benefits
Naomi : What kind of benefits?
Elyse : Black magic is strong. It harnesses your inner power and can be of great benefit in many situations.
Hannah : Why live a boring life when you can join us and live a long and eventful life?
Naomi : I do NOT want to be associated with that.sort of stuff. It's just wrong and evil and it doesn't do any good. It's just a load of pathetic rumours. It's not real.
Hannah : (raises her hand to Naomi) DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!
Elyse : (lowers Hannah's hand) Now, now Hannah. Maybe we should make Naomi here see that this.invitation was NOT to be refused.
Hannah : Yes.maybe we should. FERMENTA! (a loud bang) There. Now no-one can get in.or out. It should buy us some time. (looks to Elyse)
Elyse : Now Naomi. If I didn't make it clear before.Black magic holds great power and we need supporters. We do not take kindly to those who decline our invitations so I would suggest you reconsider.
Naomi : Never! I won't join you!
Hannah : I'm very sure you will regret that decision.
Elyse : (looks to the wall and a picture of a family appears on the wall) Do you recognise these people?
Naomi : Mum? Dad? That's my family!! Why? Why are you showing me them?
Hannah : You love your family? Then you wouldn't want anything to.happen to them?
Naomi : (not taking her eyes off her family) You wouldn't? You.you couldn't.
Elyse : Couldn't we?
(Naomi looks from girl to girl and then back to her family. Elyse waves her hand again and the image disappears)
Hannah : Now, would you care to rethink your answer?
Naomi : (pause) Ok. I'll join
Elyse : Good. You shall join. Your initiation shall take place tomorrow evening in the north tower at 9pm. DO NOT BE LATE! And as for defying us I'm afraid that once your initiated you won't be able to. Once you have felt the pull of the magic I can promise you won't say a word against him.
Hannah : So don't even try. And as for trying anything before tomorrow, remember, we'll be watching!
Naomi : Tomorrow.at 9.
(Naomi grabs her diary and runs off SR)
Elyse : OUVERAY! Better let her out! I'll make sure she is kept out of trouble. Go and prepare the potion.
Hannah : I said we should find out more about her! Watch her! She'll be tricky I don't doubt. I'll go and check the potion right now.
Elyse : Don't worry. I will check on her. I bet she's gone to the library. I will follow her.
(exit SR)
Hannah : Ok. Don't let her out of your sight. (exit SL)
