Annabelle: Creation Page #2

---

What are you guys doing?

Unpacking boxes.

This place is so creepy.

What was that?

What was that?

How dare you!

Mr. Scarecrow.

Found you.

You're not very good at hiding.

Years of neglect have affected

the counterbalance.

There. That should keep the draft down.

Thank you.

That was taken in Romania

at a convent of cloister nuns.

They have little contact

with the outside world...

...but I became very close to these three.

That's Sister Maria, that's Sister Anna...

...and that's Sister Lucia.

Who's this?

I don't know. I don't think I even met her.

- Is there anything else you need?

- No, thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

- I like him.

- Which one would you marry?

I don't know. I guess I'll just have

to date all of them to find out.

I just want his eyebrows.

- I love his eyes.

- He's very handsome.

Night time is when Mrs. Mullins

gets her powers.

That's why she's in bed all day,

but at night...

...she can go wherever she wants.

She needs to...

...so she can feed.

And if you look directly at her, you'll die.

And to get you to look, she'll keep

saying your name over and over...

...till you can't stand it.

Wait.

Nancy. Nancy.

- Nancy!

- No, Mrs. Mullins, no!

Nancy.

No.

She's ready to feed.

Carol! Carol! Carol!

- Stop it. We're not supposed to be up.

- Well, you were doing it, too.

Me?

Okay, why isn't he answering her?

- Nancy...

- Don't look at her.

No! No, please, please, please!

Please! No, please.

Please.

She's gone.

She's gone. She's gone.

- What's going on?

- What on God's Earth?

Miss Sister Charlotte...

Mrs. Mullins... she was here.

In this room.

She was standing right over there.

Who?

Your wife, apparently.

They said she was just in here.

That's impossible. My wife

hasn't been able to walk for years.

Girls. Girls!

Let's go back to our studies, okay?

You okay, Nance?

Did you really see Mrs. Mullins

in your room last night?

- Yes. We swear. We were under the covers...

- Nancy, stop it.

We just freaked ourselves out

last night. You know that.

Mrs. Mullins?

Sister Charlotte, could I trouble you

for a glass of water?

Of course.

All of you are more than welcome

to stay as long as you need.

It's good to hear some life again.

We've been cooped up here so long,

I'd forgotten what that sounded like.

What a lovely picture.

She was taken from us...

...at an early age, unfortunately.

If you could turn away for a moment, Sister?

Yes, of course.

I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter.

But we find comfort in knowing

she waits for you in Heaven.

I wish that were true.

Oh, my gosh.

You shouldn't be in here.

Well, neither should you.

Whose room is this, anyways?

The Mullins had a daughter. It was hers.

"Had" one?

I think she died.

And I think that was her

playing the music, too.

- Stop trying to scare me.

- I'm not. It's the truth.

Then why are we in here?

- We should leave.

- No. No.

Linda...

...what is it?

We shouldn't be in here.

Okay.

I'll leave in a minute.

Well, I'm going.

Who's doing that?

Hi.

You're the Mullins' daughter, aren't you?

What happened to you?

Will you help me?

What do you need?

Your soul!

Charlotte!

Sister Charlotte!

No!

How do you feel?

Give her some space.

Girls...

...Janice is feeling a little down right now

so we need to do what we can to support her.

Time, I think, is all she needs.

She'll walk again though, right?

We'll have to see.

You need sleep.

That's gonna help you with the healing.

I can't stay here, Sister Charlotte.

We can't stay here. We need to leave.

Leave? And go where?

There isn't anywhere else for us to go.

I didn't fall down those stairs.

Something threw me.

What do you mean?

You always say that...

...even though we can't see God, we can...

...we can feel his presence.

Well...

...in this house I feel

a different kind of presence.

What kind?

An evil one.

It's coming after me. Coming after my soul.

- Your soul?

- Because I'm the weakest.

No, darling.

Listen...

...the devil preys on those weak in faith...

...not weak of flesh or bone.

You are as strong as any of us, Janice.

Stronger.

You're quiet, Samuel.

I think it was a mistake...

...to bring the girls here.

Why?

The girl...

...the girl that fell...

...maybe she didn't fall.

Maybe...

It was an accident.

That's all it was.

Accidents happen.

It's been quiet for 12 years.

You should try embracing

the presence of the girls...

...instead of frightening them away.

You'll be better soon.

I don't think so.

Not this time.

But you have to.

Pretty soon, we'll find a new home.

No one's gonna want me now.

I'd just be a burden.

But you swore we'd stick together.

I take it back.

Maybe I won't get adopted.

You will. You know why?

Because you're special.

You're gonna get adopted

by a nice family somewhere...

...and they're gonna spoil you so much.

You're gonna have so many dolls that

you won't even be able to name all of them.

Sure, I can.

Janice one. Janice two, Janice three.

Linda?

Time for bed.

I wish you'd come upstairs.

I don't wanna sleep alone.

Here.

Take Becca.

This way...

...I'll always be with you.

Then you should have Sweet Sue.

Thank you.

Remember, before all of this...

...when we used to sneak around

the orphanage at night?

And eat all the chocolate in the pantry?

Father Massey was convinced that we had mice.

"Oh, Lord. Please cleanse

my soul of all my sins...

"...and cleanse our house...

- "...of these mice!"

- "These mice!"

No matter what happens...

...nothing can erase all of

those things we did together.

Night, Linda.

Good night, Janice.

A little sunlight will do you some good.

I don't think the sunlight

can fix what's wrong with me.

You mustn't give up hope.

Hope is a home unto itself.

Dwell in it,

and it will protect and keep you.

What book of the Bible is that from?

The book of Charlotte.

But that doesn't make it any less so.

Are you okay here?

The sunlight actually feels kinda nice.

I told you.

Sister Charlotte?

No! No, no, no!

Stop, please!

Janice!

Janice!

What's going on?

- I couldn't get out.

- Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm worried about Janice.

- A few nights ago, she wanted to leave.

- Why'd she wanna leave?

Probably because this place is off the wall.

She told me the Mullins' daughter

was coming for her.

The Mullins had a daughter?

She died a long time ago.

So she's seeing ghosts?

Keep your voice down.

So she's seeing ghosts?

I guess.

Well, you guys saw something.

That wasn't a ghost.

Ghosts can only be of dead people.

But how does that explain what you saw?

Unless it really was Mrs. Mullins.

Or... something was just trying to scare you.

You guys are doing a good job

of that on your own.

Janice is probably just looking for ways

to justify us treating her differently.

- I don't think so.

- Of course you don't.

You'll know what I mean when you're older.

Now go, get to bed.

What are you waiting for?
