Chapter 6- Midnight Fright
(About 9:00 at the Crane mansion)
Julian- This is quite a stunning party wouldn't you say Eve my dear?
Eve- Yes Julian, and it's so peaceful and welcome here without Alistair around causing heartaches for my family
Noah- Oh Fancy….you were supposed to come dressed up
Fancy- If you think for one minute that I'm going to make this pretty face look spooky, then you're crazy
Noah- You don't have to be something scary you know
Fancy- Well, I would have been a princess but I figured hey, why dress up when I already am one?
Little Ethan- Mommy, will you fix my costume?
Theresa- Sure hunny
(Theresa adjusts Little Ethan's cowboy hat and vest)
Pilar- Oh Little Ethan! You look so cute!
Theresa- Hey mama
Little Ethan- I'm a cowboy! YEEEE HAAA!
Pilar- Hahaha, yes you are sweetie
Theresa- Is papa here too?
Pilar- Oh no Theresa, he didn't want to upset you and he said he wanted to stay at home and pass out some candy anyway
Ivy- Rebecca
(Rebecca is busy flirting with a man dressed up as a fireman by the punch bowl)
Rebecca- Oh…I just LOVE firemen… they are just so sexy….
Fireman- Maybe if you're a good girl I'll let you have a ride on my engine later
Ivy- REBECCA!
Rebecca- Uh…I'll be right back big red, don't go anywhere all right?
(Rebecca walks over to the corner with Ivy)
Rebecca- What the hell do you want? Don't you see that I'm busy?
Ivy- This is more important than some hunk dressed like a fireman hitting on you! Rebecca, did you get it done?
Rebecca- Of course I did Ivy…. (rolls her eyes) I had to get a little help…but it's done
Ivy- Good, so by midnight, Theresa will be getting a nice little shocking surprise that bitch deserves!
(By the big staircase in the mansion)
Theresa- Ethan, are you almost ready to come down? You did put on this surprise costume you wanted to show me right?
(Ethan walks down the staircase)
Theresa- Ethan! What…are you supposed to be? You look….stunning… a prince maybe?
Ethan- Your Prince Charming to be exact
(Theresa and Ethan kiss)
Theresa- Ethan, my mother is here to take Little Ethan trick or treating so we can officially start the party since all the guests have arrived
Maid- Mrs. Winthrop!
Theresa- Yes Linda, what's the matter?
Linda- Well, we were checking off the list for the party guests and it seems someone not on the list has came in
Theresa- Well do you know who he said he was?
Linda- Well we don't know if it's a man or woman…the butler can't even remember who they were dressed as. All we know is apparently this mystery person slipped in while some on the guests were being checked off
Ethan- Nothing to worry about Theresa, I'm sure it's just one of our friends and they forgot to get checked off the list so they walked right in
Theresa- (talking in her mind to herself) I think this is the work of Ivy and Rebecca. I knew I heard them right when they said they were planning something against me tonight….
Ethan- Besides Theresa, if it were someone dangerous, we have security everywhere so they wouldn't be allowed in or be able to get in
Linda- But anyway, Mr. Winthrop, all the other guests seem to be here so let's start the party if it's ok with you and Mrs. Winthrop
Theresa- Let's start Ethan
(They walk into the giant room filled with guests)
Ethan- A big thanks from Theresa and me for everyone being here tonight. We all hope you enjoy yourselves and you have a fabulous time
Fox- To Ethan and Theresa! (Fox raises his wine glass)
(Everyone raises their glasses and echo)
Theresa- Excuse me, mama?
Pilar- Oh Theresa, Little Ethan and I were just about to leave. What is it?
Theresa- Mama, I know you are going to think I'm crazy but last week, I overheard
Rebecca and Ivy talking about getting me back and some things and I'm really starting to believe they are out to get me. Our maid Linda said someone has came that wasn't on the list and they don't know what they are dressed up as or who they are and I think this mama is the work of Ivy and Rebecca!
Pilar- Theresa, calm down. They or no one else can hurt you anymore. I want you to have a good time and relax
Theresa- But mama I…
Pilar- Relax
(Pilar leaves with Little Ethan)
Theresa- (talking to herself) Mama is probably right…I'm just getting so worked up but I know that Ivy and Rebecca have to be up to something after hearing what I did. Maybe Ethan is right… I mean, the security would have stopped anyone who was intruding and maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions…I'm going to go back in there and have fun
Stranger- Oh Theresa…. Getting in here was easier than I thought. You can try to enjoy your night, but I will help Rebecca and Ivy make you pay for what you have done….that is a promise
(Stranger exits up the stairs)
Ethan- Theresa, you're back. Where did you run off to?
Theresa- (smiles at Ethan) Just to talk to my mother but I'm fine now. I know that I have nothing to worry about and I want to enjoy this night with you and our friends
(Ethan and Theresa kiss and a loud crash is heard by Theresa from upstairs)
Ethan- What was that?
Theresa- I'll go check it Ethan. It sounded like it came from Jane's room
(Theresa goes upstairs to check)
Theresa- Jane sweetie, are you all….Oh my God….
(Theresa looks on the wall to notice a message wrote in red ink)
Theresa- (Reads it out loud)Theresa, you will pay for what you did. You can't escape now….
Coming: A mysterious message has been written by the Passion's mystery stalker at the party! Ethan and Theresa continue to have the party as they investigate by themselves, but while investigating, Theresa has a deadly encounter with this stalker!
