Enjoy the final chappie peepo! Over and OUT!

Chapter 15: A hit-home truth and the big finale

Rachel wakes up. Aidan is next to her in her bed. The room is full of unnaturally bright light.

"Are you sleeping, Rachel?" Aidan asked.

"I was…" She moaned.

"She makes me sleep all the time now. Just keep sleeping…"

"What?" Rachel frowned.

"So she can't hear us. It's the only way Rachel. Show her she can't stay."

Rachel looks bemused.

"How? How do I do that?" She asked.

"Take me to where she's afraid. You know what she's afraid of."

"Water…" Rachel muttered.

"No…ketchup. Just kidding. I just can't stand it when you're smarter than me…" Aidan said.

"When does that happen?" Rachel asked.

"Hardly ever." Aidan said. "Anyways, eh hem…take me to where she's afraid and kill me."

"Aidan." She said softly.

"Sh! Rachel!" Aidan hissed. "Keep sleeping! She won't stay if she knows you'll kill me…it's the only way…"

"I can't do it." Rachel said solemnly.

He looks sadly down, then back up.

"Then she stays." He said.

Rachel closes her eyes. Aidan says something that sounds like 'she knows we're asleep.' He pulls covers over their heads. A door slams and Rachel wakes up, panting and gasping for her life.

"This is familiar." The audience said. "Hey…back then that light made them look like perfect glowing models…"

She walks downstairs. Aidan is watching TV.

"Honey…" She whispered.

"I thought you were sleeping." Aidan said.

"Yeah and I thought you were my son!" bitch slap!

"What!" Aidan asked.

"Sorry…I really should cut down on the number of soaps I watch."

There is an awkward silence.

"Anyway…" Rachel said. "I was sleeping but I had a bad dream."

"Because you had a bad day…"

"You must have had a nightmare." Aidan said.

"They mean the same thing you wheelbarrow." Rachel said, rolling her eyes.

"It's alright." Aidan said. "We all have them."

"Some about monsters…some about water…" Rachel said.

"What?" Aidan asked.

"I um…said that you only have nightmares if you sleep, which you don't!"

"Doh!" The audience slapped their foreheads.

"O…k…" Aidan said. "Will you stay with me now?"

"Stay with you?"

"For always…"

"Yeah…okay…"

"Alrighty then!" Aidan yelled. "let's watch some TV together!"

"Hey Samara…I mean, um…Edam…."

"Aidan."

"That's what I said." Rachel waved it aside. "We can't watch TV forever…do you know how high my electrical bills will be? What's your obsession with TV anyway?"

"Why are you worried about an electrical bill?" Aidan asked.

"Coz I can't count past 60!" Rachel yelled. "Besides…electricity and water don't mix…"

(pause)

"It's kinda late…don't you think you should sleep?"

"I never sleep…" Aidan said in a soft, creepy whisper.

Rachel looks confused.

"That would explain those MASSIVE baggies under your eyes…And as for Rachel, how many fricken clues does she need?"

"Then let mommy make you something." Rachel said.

She goes into the kitchen and spreads peanut butter on a piece of bread. There's a bottle of pills on the counter next to her. She looked solemnly through at Aidan, then tips a HUGE amount of white powder onto his sandwich. She walks through to the living room.

"Aidan isn't thick y'know." The audience muttered. "That's enough bloody poison to soak up the peanut butter! And not he's teamed with Samara, (who has spesho powers) there's NO fooling him!"

"It's worth a shot…" Rachel whispered.

She sits down and gives Aidan his sandwich . He looks at her.

"Busted!" The audience hissed.

"Is something wrong?" Aidan asked. "You seem sad."

"No. Just tired is all." Rachel said through tears.

"What's in my sandwich?" Aidan asked suddenly.

"Um….Peanut butter and…jelly?"

"Oh goody." Aidan said, tucking in.

"Phew!" The audience and Rachel sighed.

They both sat on the couch, munching their sandwiches, Rachel watches Aidan. He munches very quickly.

The TV goes off.

Rachel gets Aidan in a blanket and carries him up the stairs, into the bathroom.

Evelyn's VO: Be a good mother…

Rachel sits Aidan in the bath and as she lowers him in she whispers.

"I'm sorry…you can't stay…"

Before Aidan's face is fully submerged beneath the water, he wakes up.

"What are you doing Rachel!" He said frantically. "It's me! Not her! I love you, mommy! I love you…"

(some of the audience are crying)

"I know. I love you too." She whispered.

She forces him under.

"But you're not my son."

The bathroom goes static. Black hair erupts from Aidan's mouth to fill the bathtub. Rachel opens her eyes and notices. She pulls away. Samara flies from the bath and makes weird noises, then disappears.

Rachel gets up and looks into the empty bath, and sees Aidan.

For some reason, he doesn't reply to her 100000 frantic yells of 'AIDAN!' probably because he's unconscious.

He wearily opens his eyes, mumbling 'Rachel'

"Yes! I'm here…you were sleeping…just sleeping."

"In the bath? Unconscious? In my clothes? Soaking wet?"

"Yip."

"Yeah and I'm an elf."

She hugs him, and the eerie well noise sounds.

"No…" Rachel whispers.

They go down to the TV. The well scene is there. Samara climbs out of it.

"She wants me again…" Aidan whispered.

"ooooh she wants you…" Rachel cooed. "Sorry."

They watch in horror.

"All she wants is me." Rachel said. "A mother…that's all she wants…"

"Uh….vain…"

Rachel crawls to the TV.

"Rachel! What are you doing?"

"You can't have my son. So take me." She muttered.

Aidan keeps yelling "Rachel!" and "No!" From behind her.

(Very bright flash.)

Samara's arms come out the TV. Rachel grabs hands with her and allows herself to be pulled headfirst into the TV. She travels down into the well, and there's a loud splash.

Rachel surfaces, spluttering and treading water. She looks up. The stone is only half over the well.

"Samara!" She yelled. "Here I am! Just like you wanted! So leave him alone! And if you can hear me, throw me a bag of crisps!"

She hears a noise and looks down. Then back up to the opening, and whispers to herself.

"Her only way out id always open…It's always open…"

"Funny." The audience said. "I don't remember it being open at all in the first movie." Ironic, huh?

Rachel starts climbing up the cobbles of the slimy wet wall.

Bubbles start rising from the water below. Rachel doesn't notice and keeps climbing up the wall. More and more bubbles rise, but she still doesn't notice.

"God, how many bubbles do I need to blow to let you know I need a bedtime story?" Samara's VO said. "I'm starting to get light headed! Oh well…I'll have to tell my new mommy myself…"

Samara surfaces.

"Shit!" Rachel yelled.

"Shit!" Samara yelled. "She's escaping!"

"Hey! Don't use that language!" Rachel shouted down at her. "You're grounded!"

"No!" Samara sulked. "Oh wait…Shit! She's escaping!"

Samara starts climbing up the wall VERY fast and frog like. Rachel nearly slips – it's a race against time!

Very dramatic orchestra music at this point, the whole way up.

Rachel clambers out the well, but Samara grabs her ankle. Rachel kicks her and knocks a loose rock from the wall. A huge jet of water shoots out and hits Samara, who then goes flying back down and hits the water with a huge splash! Tee hee!

Rachel hauls herself out the well. Samara bursts out the water, and in a desperate attempt to recapture Rachel, she clambers up the well, 10 times faster than before. Rachel struggles to push the slate over the well.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Samara's VO said in a very creepy voice.

"I'm not your fucking mommy." Rachel spat, and suddenly pushed the slate over the well with no effort needed.

"Gotta love that line…"The audience said.

Rachel pants for a while.

"Rachel! Rachel!" Aidan's faint VO yelled.

Rachel follows it, but can't find it.

She bursts out the trees, and sees the cliff edge that Anna throws herself off of in the tape. Just incase we had forgotten, a flashback of that bit of the video is played.

A tear rolls down Rachel's cheek very dramatically. She stands at the edge, looking all the way down into the foaming, roaring sea.

"Rachel!" Aidan's VO said. "Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you…" She whispered.

She waits another pointless 40 seconds or so.

"For god's sake woman!" The audience yelled. "Is this to pad out the movie?"

Rachel dramatically lifts her head and throws her arms out to the side the same way Anna did in the tape. She then flops off of the cliff the same way.

Darkness.

"Rachel!" Aidan yelled, loudly.

Her eye shoots open.

"I followed your voice." Rachel whispered to him.

"What happened Rachel?" He asked.

"It's over…She's not coming back."

"What happened though?"

Rachel took a deep breath and prepared to tell her ordeal.

"We had a race against time out of the well, then a totally awesome light saber duel on a tight rope over Mount Everest."

"Really?" Aidan asked. "I had Samara down as more of a rock climbing person."

"That's what I imagined in my head, but it really wasn't all that jazz."

"I love you mommy." Aidan said, hugging her.

"Ditto, but promise me something." Rachel said.

"Anything." Aidan smiled.

"Just…call me Rachel." She smiled back.

"Not even Cedric?" Aidan asked, hugging her again.

The TV screen flickers suddenly and we see the ring for a thousandth of a second.
