Scene 12

(The Midwife's house. She is sitting with her husband, the Stable Owner, while their little boy Thomas plays around on the floor. Suddenly, the Headless Horseman bursts in. The midwife and Thomas run into Thomas's bedroom and lock the door and the stable owner fights the Horseman. Soon enough, the stable owner's head is chopped off. The midwife hides Thomas under the floorboards.)

Midwife: Stay there and don't make a sound or I'll chop your head off!

(The Headless Horseman bursts into Thomas's bedroom. Thomas hears a scream, a swish and a thunk, and looks up to see his mother's dead eyes peering through the floorboards. The Horseman turns to leave, then hears Thomas moving a little, and returns, ripping up the floorboards until Thomas is uncovered.)

Thomas: (smiling innocently) Hello, sir. Would you like to buy something?

(His innocent act doesn't fool the horseman and soon he has three heads in his bag. But the midwife's scream was heard by Brom who, being a pretty boy, runs to her rescue. He begins to fight the Headless Horseman when Ichabod, very out of breath, runs up.)

Ichabod: (wheezing) ...don't...attack...WHEEEEE...WHEEEEE

Brom: Whatever, loser.

(The horseman knocks Brom's weapon out of his hand and leaves. Brom, however, throws a knife at him- which the horseman catches and throws back at him. It lands in Brom's leg. Brom starts to cry and runs after the horseman.)

Brom: WAAAHHH! YOU HURT ME!

Ichabod: For God's sake you loser, he won't attack you if you don't attack him!

Brom: WAAAAHHH! SHUT UP! DON'T LIKE YOU!

(Ichabod leans back to watch as Brom gets beaten once again by the horseman. However, as Brom goes after him again, he decides that it's time to do something.)

Ichabod: Brom, listen to me. You're a crap little pretty boy with a sword made out of what looks like plastic. YOU CAN'T WIN THIS. RUN.

(Brom finally listens to Ichabod and runs. However, the Headless Horseman has now decided that another head or two wouldn't be a bad thing, and decides to go after them after all. He turns, stabs Ichabod through the chest and splits Brom in half.)

Ichabod: Oh crap.

(He faints.)
