(Avril is lying awake on her bed, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling. Nita walks in)
AVRIL: (Softly) Hiya, Neets.
NITA: Hey, Av. Are you okay?
AVRIL: No.
NITA: Why? Was it Tom and Carl?
AVRIL: (Nods) I thought that of all people, they would be the ones to protect and help me. All they did was tell me I'm a nutcase.
NITA: I think there was more to it than that...
AVRIL: I don't. They didn't believe me, and that's that. I just can't believe that they didn't see...
I'm running in quicksand,
Something's haunting me;
The guilty past I've buried.
NITA: I think you should try to get some rest. Everything will look better in the morning.
AVRIL: I wish I could, but--
My mind won't let me sleep;
I'll do anything for peace -
I keep waking up…
NITA: You don't really mean that. Not anything...
AVRIL: Maybe I do.
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart, please let me sleep -
I keep waking up.
How much more do I take
My head is talking to me
I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed
Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
NITA: Sure, I will. (Turns them off.) Is that better?
AVRIL:
I can't sleep -
Insomnia, I'm twisting and turning -
I keep waking up
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning -
I keep waking up
NITA: But do you know _why_? Maybe I can make a spell to help you sleep...
AVRIL: It won't work. He's coming back for me.
NITA: The Lone One? I'll be here to stop him...
AVRIL: You weren't last time.
Both ends again today
The whole house is creaking
I know he's out there
The thing kept from sight
I beg to the shadows
I can't sleep
NITA: (Soothingly) It's okay, Avril, it's okay. I'll go get you some sleeping medicine and tea.
AVRIL: (Frantically) Don't leave me! I–I can hear him coming! O sweet Powers–He's gonna come back for me the second I'm alone! (Collapses into tears)
NITA: Shh, shh. I won't leave you. It's okay. (She hugs the younger wizard.) You know what? I'm gonna get Dairine call Lee and Zoe. They always make you feel better. (Shouts) DAIRINE!!!
DAIR: (Pounds up the stairs) Whaaaat?
NITA: Go call Lee and Zoe. Avril and I want to have some company.
DAIR: (Whines) Do I gotta? (Nita gives her a look) Oh fine, I'll be right back.
NITA: There, see? It'll all be better soon.
AVRIL:
Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream?
(Nita sighs and turns on some music, hoping that Lee and Zoe come soon.)
