GHOST
Just... two... more... steps...
She reaches up with a clawed hand.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
BRIGITTE
And at least now I have that annoying little girl out of my life.
GABI
This is working out beautifully.
BRIGITTE
Uu (yeah). I no longer have to worry about all of those obstacles.
GABI
And how will Ginger end up in the same church that you work in?
BRIGITTE
I'm not sure. But I think if she can just channel me...
GABI
Do you think she can?
BRIGITTE
She's a very strong spirit, stronger that I'll ever be. I doubt my will could keep me here.
GABI
You never know.
BRIGITTE
So, what do you want to do now? I'm getting tired and I need something to make me wake up.
Gabi slowly reaches up and slightly touches Brigitte on the face. She has a blank expression. He attempts to be smooth and slowly sit forward to kiss her, but she grabs him around the neck and slams her mouth into his. They fall back onto the couch.
CUT TO:
INT.CELLAR- NIGHT
Ghost falls back down onto her back. Her ears perk up as she hears lips smacking from upstairs. She gasps and reaches back up to the shelves.
GHOST
No!
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
Brigitte and Gabi are making out on the sofa.
GABI
We're siblings.
BRIGITTE
Shut up.
She tears at his hair.
CUT TO:
INT.CELLAR- NIGHT
Ghost claws at the air vent and tears the front off of it. She slams her arm into it.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
Brigitte reaches over and slams a glass off the table, shattering it on the hardwood floor.
CUT TO:
INT.CELLAR- NIGHT
Ghost leaps into the air vent.
CUT TO:
INT.AIR VENT- NIGHT
Ghost is angrily climbing swiftly through the vents. There is a howl from in the house. Ghost turns around as she hears it and scowls.
GHOST
I'm gonna kill you!
She punches a hole into the side of the vent.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
The ceiling slightly shakes in the left corner and dust falls. There is a growl from one of the vents. Brigitte covers Gabi's mouth with one hand and they stop kissing for a second. She sniffs and stands up.
BRIGITTE
She's there.
GABI
Who?
BRIGITTE
Ghost. Stay right here.
She grabs up the shotgun off the table and cocks it. She begins to charge over to the wall.
GHOST (O.S.)
NO, PLEASE!
Brigitte points towards the area where Ghost is and shoots a humongous hole into it. There is a stifled scream and a drip of blood begins to ooze down the side of the wall. There is some silence, until a pair of red eyes flashes inside the darkness and a slightly-wolfen Ghost leaps down onto Brigitte. Brigitte punches her and slaps her across the face, angry. Ghost flies off and hits the wall. Brigitte stands up, points the gun, and shoots Ghost in the chest. Ghost gasps and grabs her chest. Brigitte kicks her into the face, sending a slew of sharp teeth across the wooden floor. Brigitte smacks her in the nose, breaking it. Ghost cries loudly.
GHOST
Pl-
Brigitte kung-fu chops her in the top of the head and she grabs it, screaming. Blood splashes out of her mouth and nose. Brigitte grabs her by the throat and hurls her hard into a wall, throwing her straight out into the back yard. Brigitte runs through the hole. Gabi runs out after her.
BRIGITTE (O.S.)
Stop, baby. I got it under control!
GABI
Are you sure?
We hear Ghost scream and Gabi winces in slightly sympathetic pain.
GABI
O-cge (okay).
He walks away.
CUT TO:
EXT.BACK YARD- NIGHT
Brigitte punches Ghost in the stomach and she spits up, falling down. Brigitte stomps down on her back and she shouts.
GHOST
Please! I lo-
BRIGITTE
Shut up!
She claws at Ghost's hair.
BRIGITTE
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
She grabs a huge lock of hair and yanks back, breaking Ghost's neck. She gasps in shock.
BRIGITTE
Oh my God! What have I done?
GABI (O.S.)
What? How come she's quiet?
Brigitte turns around to where Gabi was calling her.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
Brigitte slowly walks in as if she's in a daze. She is completely splattered from head to toe in dark, sticky blood.
GABI
Brigitte? What have you done?
BRIGITTE
I don't know.
She begins to cry and falls to her knees.
BRIGITTE
I don't know!
She sobs loudly and falls onto her front, writhing and screaming.
BRIGITTE
No! I haven't done anything! No, no!
She lets out horrified scream after horrified scream. Gabi runs towards her, shaking her by the back of the shoulder.
GABI
Brigitte! Brigitte, it's okay!
BRIGITTE
No!
GABI
She was going to kill you!
BRIGITTE
She couldn't have, she was an innocent little girl! She couldn't even walk!
She gasps and covers her mouth, then vomits onto the floor. Gabi is standing with wide eyes.
GABI
You were planning to kill her anyway, though, right?
BRIGITTE
It was supposed to be quick. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. I don't have any excuse for this, other than the fact that I wanted to kill her! And I liked it!
GABI
No. You can't let yourself think that! You can't even let that be a possibility!
BRIGITTE
But it IS a possibility! Don't you see? I just killed a girl, and I enjoyed it! Every second, every little blow of my hand, every little tiny feeling of sharp teeth jabbing into my knuckles...
She gags again and covers her mouth again.
GABI
It's okay. We'll just bury her. It's alright.
BRIGITTE
Please, go away. You shouldn't help me. Look at your house, it's ruined.
GABI
We can fix that! It's easy, I built the house anyway!
There is no reply, only soft sobs. He reaches down and touches her shoulder, but she throws it off of her.
BRIGITTE (whisper)
Don't touch me! Everything I touch turns to shit.
Gabi looks thoroughly concerned, but he slowly walks away. We PAN OUT on Brigitte crying on the floor.
FADE TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM- NEXT MORNING
Brigitte is asleep. She slowly opens her fluttering eyes and wipes some of the dried blood off her face. Her eyes are extremely swollen. She sits up and looks at Gabi, who is hammering wooden boards into the hole on the ceiling.
BRIGITTE
W-where's Ghost?
GABI
I buried her. In the forest.
BRIGITTE
Gabi?
He turns around and faces her.
GABI
Yes?
BRIGITTE
I'm so sorry about this.
Gabi smiles affectionately.
GABI
It's okay, as long as you help me fix the mess you made. Take a bath, and I'll bring you to buy some new clothes when you're done. And... we need to get you a haircut. Then we'll come back here and finish the mess. O-sige po (okay)?
Brigitte smiles wearily.
BRIGITTE
That sounds nice.
She stands up and stretches.
