1905 – The Early Years
The Orphanage
Holland has spent the past ten years living in the orphanage where her
brother left her after her parents died.
HOLLAND: Sister Martha, may I go outside to play?
SISTER: Have you finished your chores child?
HOLLAND: Yes Sister.
SISTER: All right then, but be sure to be back before dinner and do not
leave the
grounds, you'll get lost.
HOLLAND: (with a smile) Thank you Sister.
With a skip, she grabs her coat and heads outside. A group of children are
playing a game outside, they call her over but she just waves and heads
towards the back of the orphanage, a mini forest lies at the outskirts of
the property. Holland ventures in with purpose and comes to sit under a
tree at the far back of the property near the fence. She sits in wait.
Soon a teenage boy comes to crouch outside the fence.
HOLLAND: Cole! You're late.
COLE: Sorry (he looks away to hide the large bruise that covered half his
face.)
HOLLAND: What happened to your face?
COLE: Nothing. (pause) Are you doing well?
HOLLAND: Yes, thank you. When will you take me to see the mountains?
COLE: Soon, Holly. I...have to go now. I probably won't be back for a while.
HOLLAND: Why?
COLE: Mother is taking me someplace.
HOLLAND: Can I Come?
COLE: (quickly) No!
HOLLAND: I don't understand. If you're my brother why isn't your mother my
mother and why do I live in a place for people who have no family?
COLE: It's complicated Holly, I've told you that. I have to go. Be safe.
HOLLAND: I hate you Cole. (she runs off)
COLE: Me too.
Cole returns home, his mother is waiting for him.
THE DEMON: Where have you been?
COLE: Nowhere Mother.
THE DEMON: I made a grave mistake mating with a mortal like I did. I
thought it would give you a human appearance which would be helpful in
destroying them. But inside you've inherited their weak emotions as well.
(she turns) I know what she looks like now. Bring me the dead body of the
child Belthazor or you'll get no supper.
