Brigitte and Gabi approach her. She is being held down by her father.
SHAYSHAY
Leave me alone!
BRIGITTE
Ginger.
ShayShay just now notices her and looks up. She hisses.
BRIGITTE
Speak normally, Ginger.
GINGER
SSSSSSS!
BRIGITTE
Ginger!
ShayShay begins speaking in the Ginger voice.
SHAYSHAY
Brigitte!
BRIGITTE
We have to get you out of here. We need to let a small part stay.
SHAYSHAY
Brigitte, you seem different!
She sniffs.
SHAYSHAY
You smell different…
BRIGITTE
Maybe it's the fact that I'm pregnant.
SHAYSHAY
Aw, how sweet is that! My little sister pregnant!
Brigitte holds up a crucifix and ShayShay laughs. She begins to speak in Pamela's voice.
SHAYSHAY
Dear, now what have I told you about sex?
BRIGITTE
M-Mom?
ShayShay cackles and throws her father from her. Brigitte throws the crucifix in her face and turns to run with Gabi, but ShayShay grabs her by the hair and shoves her into a wall.
SHAYSHAY
I can smell it, you know… your fear. And the baby.
BRIGITTE
Ginger…
SHAYSHAY
You can't stop it. It's like the curse. It will keep growing and growing and growing.
BRIGITTE
Don't hurt my baby…!
SHAYSHAY
Soon, you'll be cursed with a whole new level of fear.
BRIGITTE
Ginger..!
SHAYSHAY
But I can save you.
BRIGITTE
No!
She turns around and punches ShayShay in the face, knocking her out. She looks down.
CUT TO:
INT.CHURCH- MORNING
Gabi and Brigitte carry ShayShay up to the priest and he looks down at ShayShay.
BRIGITTE
She needs to be saved.
He slowly looks back up in awe.
CUT TO:
INT.HOUSE- NIGHT
ShayShay is lying on the couch, a cover over her. Gabi and Brigitte are talking.
GABI
She is looking an awful lot like Ginger.
BRIGITTE
She is Ginger. She's not ShayShay anymore.
GABI
So what do you think happened to ShayShay?
BRIGITTE
She may come back, she may not.
GABI
Be careful.
BRIGITTE
Of what?
GABI
The legends say that some aswang come to eat babies.
BRIGITTE
Oh, that's just some legend.
GABI
I thought so too.
BRIGITTE
Thought? Before what?
GABI
Before I had a run-in with one.
BRIGITTE
And you actually think it was real?
GABI
Of course! I saw it.
BRIGITTE
Oh, so you're saying that one may just fly through this window right now?
GABI
No. But it may happen in a few years. Anything is possible.
They remain silent for a few seconds. We pan through the window, then back to Brigitte and Gabi.
GABI
And what do you think will happen to Ginger? Will it make her die?
BRIGITTE
It'll make her sleep. Until she's ready. How long, I don't know…
All of a sudden, two men in white lab coats rush in and grab Ginger, then Gabi, then Brigitte.
MAN 1
We have to contain it!
BRIGITTE
What's going on?
MAN 2
Be careful!
The three of them are hauled out the door.
CUT TO:
EXT.LAWN- NIGHT
They are shoved into the back of the truck, Ginger still unconscious. The doors of the white van are shut hard.
CUT TO:
INT.INTERVIEW ROOM- NIGHT
Brigitte is sitting strapped to a chair. She opens up her eyes. An aging man, LEON, is sitting before her.
BRIGITTE
Where the fuck am I? Where's Gabi, where's Ginger? My baby better not be hurt! What do you think you're-
LEON
Please, please calm down. We will explain this to you.
BRIGITTE
What the hell!
LEON
You wandered into our base, a few years ago.
Brigitte stops. She gasps.
BRIGITTE
W-What?
LEON
A long time ago, you and your sister walked into one of our experiments after trying to kill your parents. You wandered on our experiment to see how different people will react to different time periods. You were infected with one of our bio-weapons.
BRIGITTE
W-w…
She closes her eyes, soaking it all in.
BRIGITTE
Is- is there a cure?
LEON
Well, at first we placed you onto another military base and cured you and your sister, not telling you. We wanted a reaction for this.
BRIGITTE
Oh my God. You people have been behind this whole thing?
Leon nods morbidly.
LEON
Afraid so.
BRIGITTE
And have you been behind this whole possession thing?
LEON
Of course not. Possession has been a common matter and still is.
BRIGITTE
And what was the point, huh?
LEON
Evaluate.
BRIGITTE
What was the point!
LEON
I don't think you want to know just yet.
BRIGITTE
Yes, I do! Why haven't I been experimented on, wh-
LEON
You have been. You've been tracked. And now you can build a superior race.
BRIGITTE
Excuse me?
LEON
Now, you can build a race stronger than mankind ever was.
BRIGITTE
Was? What are you talking about?
LEON
Mankind has been destroyed. We got you the minute it started.
BRIGITTE
What are you saying?
LEON
We want you, Ginger, and Gabi to, together, repopulate the Earth with your kind.
BRIGITTE
Our kind? How did the world die? Did you know about this?
LEON
Of course. We did it, as a matter of fact. Humans are too susceptible to all sickness and maim. Now, we can build on you all with a repopulation.
BRIGITTE (quietly)
If you can kill all of humanity…
She tears the straps off.
BRIGITTE
THEN WHY DON'T YOU KILL YOURSELVES, MOTHERFUCKERS!
She shrieks, flailing around. Men have to come in and grab her. She is screaming and crying uncontrollably.
BRIGITTE
I'll get back at you. I'll get back! You'll see! You'll see…..!
FADE OUT.
OPEN ON:
EXT.WASTELAND- MORNING
The entire land is completely flat. There is nothing. However, we do see a few gigantic metal domes protruding from the deserts. We PAN IN on one.
CUT TO:
INT.DOME- MORNING
Brigitte is standing beside the window, rubbing her huge belly.
BRIGITTE
Another kick.
Gabi and Ginger walk up behind her and put their arms on her shoulders. Brigitte turns around to Ginger. Ginger is holding a knife. Brigitte places Ginger's old necklace around her neck, and then takes the knife and slices into her hand. She slices Ginger's, drops the knife, and places their hands together.
BRIGITTE (V.O.)
I thought it would end here. Unfortunately, I was wrong. We had a long lifetime ahead of us.
CUT TO:
EX.DESERTS- MORNING
We are PANNING over the place, devoid of any life.
BRIGITTE (V.O.) (Cont.)
We now have to repopulate the world with our kind. An Adam and two Eves.
There is a single tree, and we pan in on the black shadow within it.
BRIGITTE (V.O.)
Whatever obstacles I have ahead of me, I do not know. But I at least have my happy ending.
The dark shadow opens its eyes. It is ShayShay. She smiles, and separates from her lower half, flying.
CUT TO BLACK
BRIGITTE (V.O.)
Together forever.
THE END
